Designer Items #3

[Platformcrocs]

Balenciaga Neo Classic mini arrived today and its beautiful! It carries everything I need for a day/night out - at the moment I've got a purse, hand sanitiser, pill box, powder and powder brush and a mask in there and still some room left. I'll probably use a card holder with it instead of a purse, my purse fits fine but I'd rather something a bit slimmer as its a smaller bag. There's a little internal slot in the bag though which I'm gonna use for the time being.

This is not a response to your question. I was just wondering how you're getting on with the Chanel? Have you had much use of it?

So far I’ve just been taking pics of her in the box for some reason I’m terrified of the lambskin! I hate being that person, but with my caviar classic flap, I’m pretty carefree with it.

I got rid of my acrylic nails in case I scratch it. Does anyone have any tips for lambskin? I was hoping to wear it for the first time to dinner tonight though (Well I wore it to the kitchen to make a sandwich the other day and model it to my mum, if that counts )

Received a bit of money following a death in the family so treated myself to my first ever Louis Vuitton! Got the pochette Felicie which I think is pretty hard to get but it just happened to pop up online so I grabbed it. Also ordered a monogram strap to wear with it as don’t want a gold chain strap all the time!

Guys!!! I went to Bicester the other day and YSL had a great sale on shoes! I managed to pick up these black leather pumps for under £100 and the retail was £455!

definitely worth checking out!! They had so many boots too

Sorry I usually just lurk but I’m a sales assistant in a premium store and the way my colleagues talk about other customers before deciding if to approach / help is disgusting. Like you say we are only sales assistants most of us can’t afford the products so I don’t understand where the entitled attitude comes from.

Haven’t posted here for yonks but just came to say I finally got my first Chanel bag this week! Felt slightly sick paying for it but it’s so beautiful and I’m completely in love

 

[cherryblues]

I recently got the Chanel woc in lamb skin! Was very nervous about it because I heard it could be super delicate especially in black but I caved in! I’m obsessed with it and have it worn already a few times now!

I don't understand how shop assistants can be so snobby. Nothing against shop assistants but that's all you are a shop assistant not the designer. I had this once In Mulberry Leeds silly cow I was spending what she prob made in one month on a bag and I wasn't paying by credit!

I bought myself the Gucci marmont mini last week, I love it, fits all my essentials despite being tiny!

My mam got me a see by Chloe bag for Xmas

 

[Scorpihoe]

Not sure if this counts as “designer” but my mum invested in a diamond tennis bracelet for my birthday recently and I stacked it between my love bracelets! I thought I’d show you guys

 

[Badg69]

I ordered the ysl monogram pouch the other day from flannels! Should arrive tomorrow

She's here!

Is it bad that I’m now considering getting a Chanel clutch when I’m next in store? I’m too easily tempted

Hahaha sorry! I completely relate tho. I am heading over there after drinks in Dior. I love shopping here

 

[MensaBarbie1985]

I am in love They are ex display with the teeniest tiniest scratch on the heel, totally unsold, unworn and not available any more… paid £280!

Please never mention Michael Kors in this thread again or I will vomit

It just seems daft to me that some SAs still treat people differently based on their appearance or accent. I remember seeing a woman in Selfridges once who was quite casual, wearing trainers and no makeup on but you could tell she knew what she was doing. The SAs just blanked her. Saw her again later at Cartier buying the JUC necklace which must have been £10k right there

 

[Wifo1976]

That’s just ridiculous! How many price increases in a year!! I managed to get my Boy from the airport at the weekend, didn’t want to jinx it in case it didn’t happen but looks like I got it in the nick of time!

I think I’m done with Chanel. Tried to purchase an item last week through the Manchester boutique. The SA who answered the store’s phone texted me some photos. After asking to purchase she decides to tell me I need a purchase record with that specific store!? I don’t really understand why. I’ve purchased from pretty much every Chanel in the country, and have received mail order from most of the stores too. Just too many hurdles now to get an overpriced item.

That’s just a joke! I don’t think they share records from store to store anymore but surely a sale is a sale? I wonder if they would sell it you if you went in person?

With LV and the canvas bags most people with a disposable income could afford the neverfull, speedy and pouchettes lines which is why as well as being times less they are usually peoples first designer purchases. But fashion houses now don’t like being affordable/accessible to the majority so they are trying to be more exclusive by out pricing anyone who maybe has to save a bit to get their purchase and can’t just go oh well it’s gone up £500 I’ll still buy it tomorrow. The last increase was only in October I believe? It’s sad really, just because someone can maybe easily afford it over someone else doesn’t necessarily mean they will make it look any better!!

 

[Badg69]

Urmmmmmm what are these price rises?! 800 in one go!!!
