Have you guys seen this? I know a lot of people don’t like the LV due to it being common and overdone especially with fakes out there but it’s still such iconic print to me. I would be sad if they removed it completely. My fave monogram bags that I own are the petite Malle and mini boite chapeu.
I think this was originally said by FoxyLV but then somebody emailed Customer Services who denied it and said that it was incorrect etc etc. Only time will tell but I do think it’s a mistake to stop selling online. You end up with the two tier system as we have with Chanel where people who want to buy can’t because others are buying for resale and then selling online at double the price.

This colour and gold hardware combo that YSL does is gorgeous! They're both so pretty so you can't go wrong with either <3
Thank you! It is a lovely colour.

Gorgeous colou


Gorgeous colour! I like the one on the right as it’s a cleaner finish xx
Thank, I love it too. I've got the standard colours in clutches so thought this would make a nice change 🙂


Thanks everyone, I think I'm going for the one on the right, you've swayed me 😂😍 x

😂😂😂 bloody love this! You’ll be glad to know I actually returned the orans because they were soooo small! My friend told me they run true to size, and they do not! I’m sizing up, so when they’re back in stock I’m ordering them again 😈

I have to say though, they were so gorgeous and beautifully made. They even smelled good lol 🤤Shame they were too small… ☹
I want Orans (black ones I think, as the tan ones might not suit me) but I have quite wide feet, so on the advice of a youtube video I watched, I’m expecting to size up half or whole or really whatever size is gonna fit! This is why I personally cannot buy shoes online (unless I had already tried them on in store).

I really like her page / collection thank you for sharing! I love that she has colourful bags and her style is more fun/playful and of her age and not remotely itvBe or Kate Middleton lol.

I’m surprised she’s not got more followers - but it’s also nice to just see a normal Instagram page of genuine photos rather than beggy or shilling content.

Just be careful with the coloured enamel ones, if you look on Twitter it’s full of people complaining that the enamel goes discoloured or falls out completely. I imagine most of them aren’t looking after them properly, showering or swimming etc, but I see people either get charged a lot to have them fixed, or having to buy a replacement, depending on which SA you speak to. I don’t think the quality is great with the enamel ones and personally would go with the plain silver - I’ve had mine for over ten years plus and it still looks great. Hope you don’t mind me flagging as the blue heart is really cute - just something to bear in mind with it being a gift for a young one 😊
My Green/Blue enamel one has only just needed repair now and I got it in 2012 & haven't taken it off since I got it. Maybe I was lucky but then my pink one from 2017 is also still doing good.

Repair was £55 and they did some bead replacement and a good old clean too & returned to me with a nice shiny new box etc too.

That particular enablement wasn’t me 😁 I’ve got the large (or maybe it’s medium but it feels massive to me) Loewe basket. Had it a few years now, I’ve far from babied it, taken it on a few holidays and I use it if I’m popping out to the shops without the car and I chuck anything I buy in it. Still in great knick and I still love it 👌🏼
This gives me confidence! I’ll defo use it for shopping. I feel like mine is a bit big too but hey ho, you live and learn. Did I mention I’d had a few when I bought it🤣 my friend and I were in Manchester and a few sheets to the wind - we both bought one 🤣

I'm looking for bracelet suggestions for a birthday gift to my niece who's turning 16. I'm thinking of the Return to Tiffany heart bead bracelet as I think that's quite a classic?
Any other suggestions at a similar price range? £200 ish (or less).
I love my Tiffany bead bracelet - had 1 for 10 years and the other for 5. Only had to send the OG one for repair as I wear it everyday and the heart had discoloured but they're pretty hardy (I do boxing and all sorts 🤣)

I’ve been trying to get into non-branded fine jewellery from independent jewellers, and not obsess over and save towards Cartier/VCA constantly (although I love all my jewellery from them 🥹). I just went to find more unique pieces…any unique fine jewellery brands you guys can recommend please? ♥✨

Farfetch is a marketplace so you're not buying directly from them but a designer boutique that trades on farfetch. As a result your items could be coming from anywhere in the world. I've always had a good experience from them so I wouldn t hesitate in buying from then
I never knew this - thanks for explaining 👍🏻 I’ve only had good experiences buying from there.

In the sense that the Chanel classic core collection will always be timeless yes. But I would only consider pieces that would look just as classic in ten/fifteen years time. I would never consider a fashion colour or an on trend piece but that’s my rule for designer bags anyway. However I do think they are becoming out of reach for most people. Ten years ago they were expensive but they were achievable if you really wanted one and were willing to properly save. I think it’s sad they’ve priced out almost everyone.
If you’re going to invest now, make sure it’s classic and it’s one you’re going to wear forever.
I bought a few 10+ years ago and they’ve worn pretty well, I have had ALOT of colour wear off of the hardware (for example I need a new c clasp and chain on my maxi and new c clasp on my cerf) which is definitely going to cost a bit to repair.
I wore through my Chanel wallets pretty quickly (2-3years of daily wear and tear).
I would recommend sticking with caviar, and I was told years ago to stay away from the boucle bags.
I’ve heard the quality has taken a hit over the years, so if you can get a good condition vintage bag that could be a good option.

Anyone have a Loewe bag? I’m loving everything wicker and knit and baskets lately. My reservation is safety, it seems most of them don’t close? Part of the look of the bag I suppose.

gonna delve into reviews on YouTube tomorrow morning but would love to know if anyone has one!!
I do. I've got a Loewe basket bag and I got an insert from etsy for it with a zipped top. I absolutely ADORE my bag and it had many beach trips in the summer

---

ETA this is my bag ❤ I have 0 regrets of her purchase lol

Any of you guys been to Love Luxury in Knightsbridge? They’re all over tiktok I wanna pop in the store!
You have to give it to their social media team, they are very visible! I do think some of their TikTok’s are a bit questionable in taste.

Agreed, that would be my first stop.



Ilse Jacobsen is nice. And not designer but I have a Kin raincoat/parka from John Lewis and I've never had so many comments on a coat or had so many friends buy the same one. I absolutely love it - it's got a great shape and looks much more expensive than it was. Here's the (non aff ;)) link, I have the olive green

Kin Oversized Parka, Khaki at John Lewis & Partners
oh that’s gorgeous, I’m ordering! Thank you for sharing x
