What kind of extension cords do LV owners use?

[prepster]

OK I was hesitant to post this because it is a very limited edition and available to the top 1% of all VIP buyers. Yes I buy too much. I know this. I hope I will not make others angry they they could not buy this sought after HG piece.
I am not trying to brag. And I even decided to only buy the smaller more delicate one so I would not be talked about as a person who flaunts my wealth.
So here she is. My new baby. I am using it for my coffee plug so it greets me each morning. What a fantastic way to start the day.

Wow, what a unicorn! My SM said much of the Koons/Home Depot collaboration is just runway, and won't actually make it into production. I'm surprised you're actually using it. I'd probably just keep mine in its dust bag. I baby my extension cords way too much! I can't bear to even put mine on the floor. They all have their own chairs beside the electrical outlets.

While EC's from 2007 have collector value, I would be concerned the older technology wouldn't be safe.
Best to buy new.

You always say that, and I respect your experience, but a LOT of people on tPF say they notice a difference in the thickness of the plastic on pre-2007 ECs. There's nothing wrong with buying pre-loved. People should buy the extension cord that makes their heart sing.

Valid point!
I just want the best for my friends [emoji8]

What does everyone think about the recent quality of extension cords? Has quality diminished? I'm wondering if I should just hold on to my circa 2007 extension cords.

I would. Brands like GE are really scaling back on their quality of late. Some of my older cords are beginning to patina but I like it.

I try to keep in mind that people are more important than extension cords. I really do! But sometimes it's hard. There are so many germs on the floor. Not to mention the dog slobber.

DH thinks this is crazy, but sometimes if I can't find a way to avoid putting one of my beloved extension cords on the floor, I'll just stand there and hold it. Or I won't plug anything in and we just walk around in the dark.

Can I ask when you travel how do you take your special extension cords with you? I woul be afraid to put them in check in luggage and I still worry about the carry on bags because you never know if someone can steal one. I have some velvet extension cord pouches that I use to carry my cords. They fit in my larger purses but sometimes I feel I am taking too many with me and I should only bring a day time and night time extension cord. But I have so many favorites.

I can't believe nobody was carrying an extension cord at the MET gala? I did see that Smith kid carry his hair in his hands like an accessory. But a extension cord would have made a better fashion statement. Please post pictures of your black tie extension cord choices.

I really appreciate the artistic value of the pre-knotting of the cord!! It makes me question why I hide my DIY cord knots behind my TV cabinet, they should really be on display!!

OMG. I just love love love this! As I am tight on budget these days I am off to Etsy now to find something similar.
Thank you so much for sharing.

Wow. Just wow. You are so lucky to get one of these. I can only dream of owning one some day.

OMG, loving this! I haven't checked into this thread in awhile but when I saw this photo it blew me away. I'm going to have to call an electrician so they can reset the fuse box. Brilliant! [emoji1]

Do you know if this pink is rose ballerine, rose poudre, blossom, rose litchi, Indian rose, rose Angelique, rose velours, rose pop, framboise, fuchsia, hot pink, baby pink, rose nacre, grenade, or some other new pink shade?

I can't wait for the next pink extension color to arrive! There aren't enough pink choices!!

I would describe it as Hello Kitty pink... a happy baby pinkish tone... but colour might vary depending on what screen you are looking at... might be best to check it out in store!!

Here's a pic someone posted on Instagram, this clearly shows the pink colour, hope this helps



It's slightly brighter than I expected... maybe it's the flash??

Thanks for the photo! Having a hard time choosing between pinks.
Any problem with color transfer?
