Designer Items #3

[ATV2021]

I went to Bicester yesterday.
I have not been in a year thought I’d share that there is a Louboutin in Bicester now.
We came late last night so we could not get in sadly.
You have to scan the QR code and wait for a text message and then head to the store. Most of the designer shops are doing this.
I found it slightly tedious.

Oh man are they still doing that. I'm going tomorrow so better resign I won't be getting into Gucci again as by time we arrive (like 10) it's already full and when it reopens we are due to leave lol

Gorgeous choice I have a vintage cream Chanel. I think I paid around £800 for it a few years ago. I look at vintage Chanel daily .

So pretty! Where did you get it from?

Has anyone used Flannels online before? What’s your opinion? I have a friends discount to use but I’ve never used it before. I’m worried I’m going to get scammed even though I’ve been in the shop and know it’s not fake I’ve seen some really good sale items but their pictures don’t look as good as they do on the designer websites. Help

Flannels online is fine plus you can return it rather than going in store and simply getting a credit note

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.

They are trying to do like Hermes ( i'm feed up with them too) I didn't have any problem with Chanel (at the moment) but let's see

Oh gosh ladies you are so good at organising me - thank you so much. How did I never think about an insert!?

You can also get inserts with a zip top which adds a bit of security, but I’ve only seen them on the LV Facebook groups as more bespoke ones so might be a little more money than the one above (but like £30/40).

Actually just googling I’d forgotten the bespoke ones you have all sorts of combos put in so like a drink bottle holder, keychain.
Try Handbag Angels and Papillonkia as a starting point.

Why don't you sell the bag and buy something else?

Yeah I'm gonna sell it. It's such a shame the hardware is scratched slightly but I've looked at other preloved ones and they're the same. I think it's more a design error because the clasp is quite sharp.

My designer regret list is pretty long.

buying two Bayswater’s and then realising they’re just too heavy
buying a mini celine luggage and realising it weighs a ton - and losing a load on selling it
buying the tiny Valentino my rockstud bag, realising it doesn’t even fit my phone and losing 2/3 when selling it.
buying multiple pairs of designer shoes and after one wear realising they don’t fit my feet

I’ve learned I definitely need to think through my purchases better and be less impulsive!

I love the Luggage but it does look very heavy!!

There isn’t really much designer in york city centre really. York city centre was really poor last time I was there. It’s nice for one off shops but designer and high end it’s lacking. You’d be better off in leeds tbh
The only designer store is a mulberry factory shop(assuming it hasn’t closed) and there’s the “designer outlet” but a lot of that is high street and some home stuff. They did have mulberry, Micheal Korrs and ugg. It’s probably worth looking at there website as it might’ve improved since I was last there.

ah really, I’ve never been before and because it’s a city centre thought it might be a bit decent not looking for anything in particular but was hoping to find somewhere good to browse the sales! Thanks, I’ll have a look online see what it’s saying!

 

[Holidaybobs]

Yeah it’s a special bag isn’t it?I like both bags but would much rather the £1,300 one 🥲. I kinda want to purchase it in person not online. Probably might go next weekend. Anyone seen it in pink? It’s vanished!! I know pink is kinda harder to style but it was just so gorgeous.

Yes very special. Ruby Holley put it on her story and it looks nicer than the pictures. I definitely agree, you have to see it in person. Manchester is shocking atm, definitely need to go to London I think

 

[Heather343]

Brilliant!! Thanks everyone. Now to decide which one

 

[stacelou85]

True to size but not comfy for me difficult to keep on the foot.

Oh no I love them. Which heel size did u get x

Treating myself to a new watch and as Rolex has literally no stock in the U.K. at the moment I’ve decided on Cartier…

cartier panthere or Tank must?

Rolex have no stock? They usually have a selection of window shop watches unless you’re after a sports model?

 

[Lucyann89]

Yes - I used my work selfridges voucher in LV a few months back wirh no issues.

really, can I ask which store please? It says this online - wondering if I should just try my luck now!

For years I’ve added stuff to my Wishlist on Revolve and never purchased anything because of it being American I was always nervy about the shipping or not liking something and the returns but I see they are free now so that’s good.

I am really unsure about this set I've ordered and I imagine I'll return the top so I'll let you know what the process is like. It says it'll be delivered on Monday so they must have a UK warehouse now too

I'm 5'1 too and bought micro last month. It's just the right size for my height and the things I have to carry. Had my eyes set on the black but I tried on both black and grey in the shop and decided on the grey. Congrats on your new purchase!

Thank you so much I already have a black bag so decided on the dark grey. How do you find the strap? It sits a bit lower than I’d like so Im considering buying a leather strap on Etsy in the same colour

I bought a bag from Vestiaire but it was the wrong size but they allowed me to relist and sale was quick and faultless. Reviews aren’t good though
(then bought one in right size from luxury promise)

Does anyone have a YSL shoulder bag? Are they worth it? I wanted the LV Pochette Accessories but I think a YSL would suit my style more. Or if anyone has any other suggestions on what I should spend my birthday/Christmas money on

I have the LV pochette accessoire and it’s lovely, very nice for nights out because it’s lightweight and fits a lot. It’s more my style than the YSL one but the YSL is beautiful

The WOC Lounge is one I’ve thought about using.

I can't find that one....it brought up a church group . I'm in Addicted to Designer (or similar name) and a Gucci one someone on here posted but no luck yet

 

[Zenchick101]

Anyone got reccomendations on black leather gloves? best brand/price/quality? thanks loves x

 

[Its_Me]

I know a few of you have mentioned the LV multi pochette accessoires just wondering those who have it what can you fit into the bigger pouch when carrying it alone?
