Designer Items #4

[heretoreaditall2019]

There’s a Sophie Shohet thread here - amazingly as she’s so beige (in a nice way).

I like her videos, they’re so banal it’s almost a form of ASMR, and I actually think she’s honest/non grabby like “proper” influencers are. I agree with a lot of what she says but am amazed she continues to buy if those are her feelings?

Has anyone had a van cleef Alhambra bracelet resized in London? I went to selfridges today to get my bracelet resized and they said it was an 8-9 week wait is this normal?

Yeah I just had mine resized and it took 8 weeks. Also have a ring being sized at VCA and that’s taking 10 weeks…

Can anyone recommend any resellers for Chanel which buy outright and tend to give fair rates?

 

[AbiLouX]

Thoughts on vintage chanel earrings? I’ve come across a unique pair - no box or anything though which puts me off a little. Authenticated

 

[Its_Me]

Ah god of course they don’t I’ve not got high hopes to be fair. I had a look at the similar style dior have brought out but they’re just not in the same league

I know. I wasn’t keen on them before and because they were difficult to get I just wasn’t bothered but now I really want them.

 

[Tabitha]

Is there a flannels code floating around, please? Want something in the sale, hoping it’s still there when they do an extra 20% off

Can we talk about our dream engagement/wedding ring? How much would you/your partner spend? My boyfriend has asked me what I’d like recently so it’s got me excited!

I’m lucky that I have my dream engagement ring My other half proposed with a sentimental piece of jewellery he bought me for my 18th, and then we ring shopped together after that. It was amazing, no worries about sizing and you know you’ll end up with something you absolutely love.

Are they on Deepdale?



No idea where my comment went, but I have 3 and I love them all

Yes! In the old Toys R Us building so it’s a biggie!

 

[Scorpihoe]

OMG congratulations! I wondered where you went 🤍

Thank you!! I’ve been in a little bubble Do you know what kind of ring you like?

I personally wouldn't sell high value items on Vinted - it's awash with scammers etc at the moment (look at their forum on their app!) And if the buyer reports an issue then vinted don't actually care... seen a few reports of people selling higher cost items and buyers claiming they were sent something else/came damaged etc etc and the sellers lose out or the buyer "returns" it and its a completely different item

Yes that’s what I’ve heard. At least with eBay there’s protection. Wondering if it’s the same deal with the Facebook forums though Are they regulated in any way?

I need some help! I’ve had a very successful week at work and I’ve decided to treat myself. Two bags in totally different price brackets but it’s the aesthetic of the bags that I can’t decide between…

I am loving the Saint Laurent Niki medium leather shoulder bag and the Mulberry Amberley small satchel bag. Thoughts please?

Amberley for me

 

[Wifo1976]

Fairly standard sizing - I’d say a size 80 would fit a dress size 10 on the hips and then on the waist with blazers/dresses. Very chic looking 🤎


Thanks so much. The bag is a ‘See by Chloe’ that I got from My Theresa. Love it so much


See by Chloe bag - on sale at Farfetch at the moment

@Lilly Lou do you mind if I ask where you bought your belt from? It’s my birthday soon you see Online it seems that you have to buy from Celine, but 24S have them and they will (hopefully) give me a birthday discount of some sort. They’ve just had a £100 off £400 spend!

Could anyone recommend a really comfy and trendy pair of loafers that are good for walking? I’ve to do a good hour walking as part of my work commute so looking for something that’s comfy for lots of city walking - thanks!

Not designer but I recently got these for work as I am on my feet all day and they are so comfy 🥸

I have been browsing at M&S and found this: https://www.marksandspencer.com/lea...fers/p/clp60456002?intid=mobile_app_pdp_share

Gals - i have my eye on a mulberry - have the quality diminished so much id be best to stay away?

 

[Ss1471]

Actually tempted to get the Oran sandal in black or white for my birthday instead of the Chanel now they have both on the website! Just don’t have the black in my size atm

 

[panini]

A small Lily. I'm screwed because i have a voucher - so not cash to splash as such.

A lot of resellers (who offer value anyways) are based in the UK and i'm in Ireland, so customs is a killer.

Open to all recommendations for other bages in that size/price range. I dont want a black or bown bag..

Is it a mulberry voucher? Could always use it at Bicester, plus the use of VIP discount doesn’t make it too bag in terms of price.

I’m not the best person to ask about the lily, the loop holding the strap on mine fell off. Apparently production put the screw in, but no glue and this was a bag from 2014, so I guess quality has always been a bit rubbish.

ngl I’m still a lover of the mini Alexa, and still have one in my collection (the only mulberry I have left, after having about 10 at one point)

I use Farfetch all the time and never had a problem. I spend far too much money on there 🥲

me too I was being so good but I’m coming to the end of my pregnancy now .

 

[Its_Me]

I haven’t seen the prog yet but I’m still so baffled by her I thought she and her sister were wealthy but the sister has said a few times xxxx is out of her price range or if she could afford xxxx and they weren’t mega money pieces. I really like both of them though they seem like sweet girls and DMs F it attitude is a whole vibe.

 

[Jas119]

Omg I was going to get these in the sale too but they sold out in my size…I wanted the silver ones sooo much haha, but I do not need another pair of heels I can’t walk in!

Yes the silver ones! A lucky escape

I was going to purchase Saint Laurent canvas espadrilles today. On the Saint Laurent website and My Theresa they are €425 but €316 on Farfetch?
Any Farfetch shoppers on the thread? It's a big difference and I'm curious why.
Also if anyone thinks canvas espadrilles is a bad idea please let me know
