What kind of extension cords do LV owners use?

TPF may earn a commission from merchant affiliate
links, including eBay, Amazon, and others

That was the rumor I heard on TPF. ;);)



I could save 1-2% sales tax in GA vs. my current location, plus free VIP snacks. We better not drink too much of that free coke though! I hear they don't have macaroons at HD, so we might have to settle with chocolate chip cookies. Let's start planning this meet up, I am Besties with the HD regional manager and he can help us set this up!



After the shopping, we can all go out to lunch with our extension cords. :smile1: How does Applebee's sound?


Applebee's sounds great. We're going to have to make sure this trip is an even number of people so we can take advantage of the two for $20 deal.
We should also see what historical landmarks might be in the area so we can make sure to snap pic of our extension cords and LVs. We can add our pics to the "Where in the world is your LV and extension cord?" thread. We will have to pre-plan the visits to various monuments and fountains...that should be the perfect spot for a group pic.
 
HORRIBLE experience at Home Depot tonight:
Let me start by saying that I always shop online since I do not receive a good customer service at my local store. I decided to give it another chance in hopes of a better experience once I learned that the salespeople there just started working on commission.
So this is what happened. Nobody greeted me once I entered the store. It took me 2,5 hours to find the shelve with the extension cords. To my disappointment all the ones on display were MIC. I do realize that they are all made of the same materials, but the country of origin has a sentimental value to me since the EC were invented in France.
It took me another 30 minutes to find a salesperson. He did not seem interested to help me at all. I only asked him to go to the warehouse, check all the stock they have, find me one MIF and make sure it is a new one and has not been returned before. He said that they do not provide that kind of service and started helping another customer! The salesperson was not warm and willing to help me, but he was so attentive to this other customer for some reason who was buying the flooring, paint and appliances for his house.
I wanted to discuss that matter with the manager, but could not find one.. I called 1-800 number but they weren't apologetic at all and asked me to provide a written statement of what had happened.
Not going back to this store EVER again!
Do you guys have any suggestions for the stores you like to go to? Any recommendations for a good SA? I am so upset, might not be able to sleep tonight.

I'm so sorry this happen to you. How were you dressed? Did you have make up on and your hair done? That might have been the problem.
I always go with my hair in a pony tail, no make up and in my worn out pajamas bottoms and slippers.. I never have no issue.
Come on dress to impress at Home Depot .. Put on your best Wal Mart outfit and try again!
Good luck!

I did have my hair in a pony tail. And I was wearing a simple Chanel outfit and one of my Birkins. I used to be a Vuitton lover and believe it is the most durable and the best value for your money. But both of my housekeepers and three of my babysitters own them. I still have one or two left after I gave the rest away.. Would you advice me to use one of them next time to look more down to earth?
Sorry for my bad English.

I'm totally obsessed too... I noticed on your vintage cream Omni beauty extension cord that you have a special knot holding it all together. I haven't seen this before. I have a petite DA, non-monogram, hot-stamped, pre-loved, cross body, LE Noe that my DH picked up for me (wait....I'm out of breath). Maybe you could do a YouTube video & we can all tie our special extension cords like that.

OH THANK LV SOMEONE NOTICED!

Yes. That knot. It takes special skill to get that knot on my Omni EC.

It's called.. -looks left and right then whispers- .. the Constrictor Knot.

From Wikipedia.. "The constrictor knot is one of the most effective binding knots. Simple and secure, it is a harsh knot that can be difficult or impossible to untie once tightened. It is made similarly to a clove hitch but with one end passed under the other, forming an overhand knot under a riding turn. The double constrictor knot is an even more robust variation that features two riding turns.."

I only wanted the best knot for my favorite EC. I had to buy 5 cheap ECs and test it on them. Of course, I made a mess and created dents all over the cords but after my 5th EC, I became confident enough to try the Constrictor Knot, or "CK" on my Omni.

It came out PERFECT. That CK is so secure, even the Ex-Mossad from Tel Aviv could not untie it!

IT LOOKS SO GOOD with LV. ECs with CKs and LVs. Say it with me.

And I tell you WHAT. CKs on ECs looks bloody amazing ESPECIALLY on petite DA, non-monogram, hot-stamped, pre-loved, cross body, LE Noes!!!!!

I would show you in a YouTube video but I don't know how to upload one! :pullhair:
 
I found this one preloved in my Mother in Laws garage! It was just thrown in a box.. Can you believe it? I cleaned her up and think she looks good for 8 years old..

Thanks so much for sharing. I find it hard that some ladies just don't open up on these forums.....I think you should be a moderator for all extension cord knots. You're so well versed. What I'll do is drive down to the yacht club in my Bentley carrying my Neverfull (is that an oxymoron since it's always loaded with cash, LV wallets, LV coin purses, LV key chains & Hot stamped Belkin extension cords plus macaroons from Laudree flown in from Paris). I'll give this info to the first sailor I see (because I don't think I can bring myself to tie my own knot), then post the results. You're a gem. Back to the good life 🍾[emoji485][emoji513]
