Accidently spilled my chai latte on my chanel boy bag 🥴
Guys by some miracle, she is okay! It didn’t get stained like I thought it would but also there was this wonderful lady who helped clean her up in the coffee shop. She whipped out a tissue super fast and helped me clean my bag 😂♥

This SA chat has put me in mind of one in the Celine concession in De Bijenkorf in Amsterdam. I very politely asked which style a particular pair of sunglasses were and she looked me up and down like I'd just crawled out from under a rock and spat out a one word answer before going back to look at her phone! It was so rude that it made me laugh and I had planned on buying a pair but in that very moment thought "nah, fuck you love!"
Yeah - I got told to stand in a corner at Harvey Nicks when I went in for a pair of Loubs years ago - I have never bought a full price pair of shoe from them ever again because of it.

this company baffles me. The owner’s wife/Co-owner joined all the handbag fb groups about 18 months ago and used to ask for help with basic knowledge. They’ve come a long way since and had a huge branding overhaul in the process. They went from having loads of fake followers to clearing up their social media and starting again. They went viral on TikTok and now have a genuine following. The owner has disappeared from the fb groups now too. It all felt a bit fake it until you make it although none of their goods were fake.

Also I just looked back and found that everything prior to this has been deleted 😬 They were previously known as ‘prestige buyers’. They’ve both locked down their social media but Adam does have a public post that refers to ‘before locking’ so perhaps the drug dealer theory has some truth to it. Who knows?!
Were you there when they tried to find new names for the business, and they then posted about rebranding the company as ‘the entitled’? The backlash was hilarious.

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.

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 love designer and don't own many pieces but I wouldn't know a fake from a real bag unless it's spelled Chanle instead of Chanel

The spiel he

The spiel he gave about working in quality control at his fathers factory also made no sense whatsoever. Surely huge scale manufacturing would be done abroad? Did he live and work abroad for a few years? If it’s a British business wouldn’t we know about it and wouldn’t he be proud to name it etc. You guys have opened an can of worms here 🤣 I am far too invested in this.
Right? Like if you’re gonna lie at least lie about something you know about…? 🫠

Like I said before the UK isn’t the type of economy where you can quietly make a billion. I don’t mean this offensively at all but I think they’re purposefully curating imagery that suggests they may have Middle East money so people are lured into a false sense of security with them - but then she’s got a northern accent and he’s been stupid enough to publish podcasts talking about untenable businesses? Stupid.

If he had a background in e-commerce their website wouldn’t be so shit. It has too much content - with websites you have to get the right balance of content, too much or too little is a 🚩 imo
I need to get off this thread looool but just viewing their source code and it’s just a word press site, no additional tracking beyond the out of the box GA package, and they’re paying for a service called “all in one SEO pro”. If his dad has websites generating millions/billions surely he could lend him some developer resource? 🤭

Mixing high end with high street is the way to go. Being covered in logos is the epitome of naff IMO.

They really are disappointing. And clunky
I wouldn't take those if they were giving them away. That is the most boring collab I've seen in a long time. Honestly no effort went into that.

Have just bought a pair of gold (tan) Hermes Orans from Vestaire - they are worn but VGC from a verified seller. I got them for £450 which I thought was an ok price 🤷🏼‍♀️ Now just crossing everything that they fit! 🤞🏻😬

I know! White with a swooping tick in the Tiffany blue (and no wedge base) would be much nicer. I love Nike and I love Tiffany....but they need to stay away from each other.

The Fendi x Tiffany collab though = dreams lol

Would never pay this but dream bag in colour and style for me

Oh wow those are horrid!

ETA in my opinion lol, sorry 😂🤦🏻‍♀️
I think many agree with you (I didn't see any positive comments on their FB post about them either lol)

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
This is actually perfect and exactly what I was after tbh, thank you so much!

When I went onto the rains site and it was all a bit Yeezy/Kardashian for me, I literally just want something light for the nursery run I’m not cruising through Calabasas pls 😩

Gorgeous choice

I remember getting my first designer sunnies, picked D&G ones in Brown Thomas here in Ireland. The sales assistant flung them into a bag. I said emm sorry is there not a little cleaning cloth or something to accompany them. She turned around to me and said God you already wear glasses I'm sure you have something at home, I was shocked 🤣🤣
Ya like I'm gonna whip out the specsavers cloth for my nice D&G sunnies 🤪
Such a briar she was, she kinda ruined the experience
I remember my Dad bringing me to Brown Thomas for my first Gucci wallet for my 21st and he kept telling the girl it was the same price as his golf bag 😂😂

Just used my Flannels £100 voucher to buy a Coach wallet for the low price of £39. So chuffed. That voucher was from the black friday promotion they had.
Basically feel like I’ve stolen from them 😂

Yeah, everything I’ve got from Flannels has arrived promptly and fine, and it sort of placated me having to pay the inflated p&p. I ordered a McQueen top in the sale in the summer and it arrived in the suit carrier with a McQueen hanger and plastic, like properly box fresh! The YSL bag might’ve been a display one or something. I do have a love/hate relationship with them though, their customer service is questionable and their phone number is chargeable - cost me £40 to ring them once🤬
