Designer Items #3

I think it’s cute, but I struggle to justify mulberry at full price now.

I totally agree! I’m sure they’d have them at outlets

What’s everyone’s thoughts on the celine nano luggage? Has it been and gone, or still a nice bag?

Any other suggestions for a nice understated small cross body?

so timeless in my opinion, my first ever designer bag was a Celine tricolour nano luggage. I absolutely adore Pheobe Philo and I cried when she left celine as I have so many celine pieces I didn’t want it to change but the bags are unreal quality I have a Boston bag also and can fit SO much in, they’re amazing for travelling and airports!! Also if you take ur celine bag to the concession in Selfridges they can ship it off to France or wherever it goes to be cleaned and polished, I believe they call it bagspa (but you have to have your receipt) x

Love the Celine Nano Luggage! It’s definitely a classic

My latest purchase/obsession is my Mulberry micro zipped Bayswater. They don’t make the micro anymore so I bought from one of the Mulberry groups on FB, but I see them on eBay/Vinted quite often too. I want every colour!

I have a tricolour micro luggage and honestly I find the quality of celine surpasses all other brands, just wish I used my micro more often! I didn’t know that about their bag spa thank you, don’t suppose you know the cost?

Does anyone know if you can use a Selfridge's gift voucher at the Gucci or LV stands in store? My work are giving us a decent sized voucher for anywhere we want as a bonus and instead of an Xmas party and I really want to buy a new bag and was hoping it could be put towards it.

My friend won a 10k Selfridges gift card from O2 and she was unable to use it in either shop if that helps.

What do you guys think of the Mulberry Iris bag?

I have the large one and I'm selling it. I love it but I can't deal with how unsafe it feels. The smaller one isn't for me but appears to be a lot more secure.

Gutted.

Gutted.

Check if a colleague wants to buy it. You never know they might want to buy a bag and have to put towards it xx

Have bottega just had a massive price increase pre Christmas? I do like the mini Jodie style but £1700 is steep for a mini bag, I could barely justify it when it was £1400.

I was able to use a Selfridges gift card at Gucci at the Trafford Centre on Saturday. I used it as part payment for a bag.

Guys you will not believe what happened to me at the weekend. I was in Chanel waiting to be seen had my trendy with me and my husband said what’s wrong with your bag? I looked down and one of the links on the chain had opened and unravelled from the leather!!! Couldn’t make it up! I can’t believe you can pay so much money for a bag barely use it and it breaks!

So I mentioned it to the SA and she said it has to be sent off to be fixed and that it ‘will take a lot of time’ I haven’t given it in yet I’m taking it back later today. Does anyone have any experience with Chanel repairs and time frame?

Were the staff nice about it?

i don’t even remember paying for it if honest!!

I would say around 8 wears if that even because I didn’t really use it over summer. She didn’t say much just that it has to be sent off to be repaired

What a great idea, I’d prefer that to a work party any time! I’ve used a Selfridges gift card in Gucci. LV won’t accept it though.

Do you think it's going to be horribly busy if I go to Bicester this Friday afternoon, lunchtime onwards?

I would personally avoid Bicester. I went a few weeks ago, Friday afternoon after work. Packed and impossible to get a space. Are you able to go on Saturday morning? I went first thing last Saturday and it was quite quiet until 10:30

Most shops business seems to have plummeted since "the new variant". London was heaving when I went a few weekends ago but my friend said last weekend wasn't. I'd assume Fridays could be a better bet? Depends how far you're travelling x
