Has anyone ever bought from Axel Arigato? Are they worth it or nah?

I fancy some new trainers and kinda over Vejas now 😬 these are cute but could potentially be uncomfortable!

I find mine really comfortable and love the way they look. I’ve had them for quite a while and still going strong.

Thanks so much for the quick replies! It’s the campos I’ve been looking at. Spent so long looking at them in selfridges today I now wish I just bought them haha. Will have to pop back and get them 😬

This might be a situation more related to buying and selling but wanted to ask here because people seem very knowledgable! I recently sold a designer bag on eBay, it was rejected by the eBay authenticator. I’m outraged because I have the receipts from Selfridges and on a side note I have doubts about how reputable the authenticator eBay uses is. So the buyer wants to purchase outside of eBay, I think she really likes the bag. So my question is, do you know if there are risks to me as a seller if I have the money before posting the bag?
I know many people buy off Facebook groups, so I’m assuming this is how it works?!

Either ask for a bank transfer or Paypal friends and family only.
I would make a video of the bag and send to seller so they are 100% sure they’ll be happy with the bag. And make sure you video any “flaws”
Further I would make copies of the Selfridge receipt and send the buyer the originals.
Now if there is an issue you can say tough shit.

Anyone spotted anything in the sales? I got some knitwear in Selfridges yesterday, not seen anything online yet though 👀

Bicester has virtual shopping and it's actually pretty good, I got some really nice things from there during the lockdowns including a pair of Manolos that have become a work staple!

Does anyone regret buying a Chanel bag? Bit weird I know, but I wanted one my whole life and now I keep looking at it and thinking I wish I'd bought a Celine bag instead. I got the big Celine tote last year in the summer and I've just become obsessed with Celine. Thinking about selling my Chanel on but I haven't had the little rip sorted yet because I cba sending it off for weeks.
If it makes you feel any better, I put two Chanels in for repair at Harrods late last year and it only took 3/4 weeks

Welcome to basket club!! 🥳🥳🥳
Now then basket friends, do you have an insert for it? I went for medium as the smaller one with the shoulder strap was a little small for me. However I need something to go inside if I think? I may get a leather clasp added on it to hold it together too.

Duty free in the U.K. don’t do tax return anymore so it would be the same price as buying in any boutique. You can buy abroad though and get tax back! I got 5% tax refund in Dubai x
Thanks for the heads up! I didn't know that (haven't travelled in years). I'll likely get it in the US then, maybe I can get birthday chip ins.

Saw an ad for this earlier and actually did a double take. That's a pretty good rip off 😂 wish the actual Neverfull had feet!

Hi all, I know these have been spoken about previously…
Just wondering what colour Hunza G swimming costumes people might have? I love the lilac and green but worried I’ll look like a sausage in the colours! I’m a uk12, 34DD. Is black too boring? ❤

I've had a few Stella McCartney bags, but I'm going back to ten + years ago, I couldn't believe how much the prices have gone up! They used to be very reasonable, i don't recall paying more than 300\400 pounds for them but now even the small ones are upwards of 600/700.
Yesss!!! Even since I started following the brand, prices have increased significantly. I love Falabella’s but have bought all of mine second hand from the Vestiaire Collective app. They are not rare or highly sought after so you can get a good bargain.

I am trying to curb my Falabella purchases for now because I don’t really see them as ‘re-sellable’ or I know I will at least lose money of them. I have a few now I will happily use to death and never sell but I think that’s enough haha. Time to expand my collection into other brands.
 
I’ve had a pair of boots in my bag since last weekend and I went to buy them today and they have now sold out on net a porter. Ffs.
They have them on coggles, but the last time I bought boots from there, they didn’t even come in the brand’s shoe box or even any dustbags. I’m a weirdo who likes to keep all their shoes in their boxes. Can anyone tell me if they bought shoes from coggles and they have come in the proper packaging?

Speaking of sunglasses, has anyone ordered from Pretavoir? I gather they’re really an online optician, but you can order sunglasses with normal non prescription lenses… it’s the only place I can find a Chanel pair I wish I bought last year, but not sure how they’d turn out lens wise, and also they’re much cheaper than normal retail, so I’m suspicious….
Yes I bought a pair of YSL Lou Lous on there a few years back. Much much cheaper than elsewhere and all good.
