As I said, this thread is dangerous! I'm right on the verge of buying this

Saint Laurent Monogram envelope clutch bag - FARFETCH

I think it's great summer evening bag for holidays however, what are we thinking about protecting the canvas? Could anyone recommend a protective spray? I'm pretty meticulous about looking after things but also its cream cotton so, yeah.... Any tips please lovely enablers?

The only tip I can think of is to wear white cotton gloves while using it …. Or carry it in a see through plastic wallet! It’s absolutely stunning! I’m sure you’ll get lots of use from it.

suede protector spray for shoes

Thanks so much, ordered the bag

It's not the Chloe Kiss by any chance, is it?

I concur. A Jimmy Choo SA recommended this for a pair of suede boots I bought and the rain just drips off !
I also had some wipes that you could use to wipe stains on the go, got them from Amazon too x

 

[TakeYourMama]

Agreed, and every time I see one it always looks fake to me

Ooooh I love that Celine pouch 🤎 This thread is dangerous!!

The YSL is pretty spesh too - FFS!!

Does anyone have a Clare V bag? For years I’ve liked the leopard clutch and the raffia mini basket (although I’m sure I’ve heard that the basket is completely impractical). Wondering if it’s worth doing an order although they’re US based (I’m UK) so I guess import taxes would be punchy

I have a Clare V bag, it must be over 15 years old and its still in excellent condition. It looks perfect - its one of the large folder clutches made from leather.

It’s the mini Tess day bag in pink. I just looked up the Kiss bag, hasn’t heard of it before - it’s really nice!

Givenchy Antigona! I have one and I love it. It’s timeless.

Sorry late quoting. I have the Antigona and I find it so heavy . I wish I had sized down. Do you find it heavy?

 

[LateG0ssiper]

It’s the mini Tess day bag in pink. I just looked up the Kiss bag, hasn’t heard of it before - it’s really nice!

I have the other Tess in burgundy and I love it. Good luck with your purchase

Thank you - good to know.

I had a really lovely first appointment at LV today. I was really dreading it as I read some bad reviews about this particular branch, but I had excellent service. Can’t fault it, my sales advisor is a star.

So today I got the Boétie pm, it’s a good size for everyday use (and for areoplane as fits my mini iPad, passport and all the other essentials I need) and really suits my short height, it’s sturdy and with zip closure. I decided against Neverfull as it is a bit floppy and no zip closure, but I won’t rule it out for the future. Also got 30mm reversible belt in black/monogram, and matching Clemence wallet with dark red interior like the Boétie.

I wanted also the Alma BB in DE, it’s a beautiful bag but it’s a bit smaller than I thought it’d be so I’m gonna have a think about it. I know they do a bigger size (PM) but I’m not sure it’s as pretty as the BB.

Not enough shoes on this thread

 

[Scorpihoe]

Can you lovely ladies recommend me some wedding shoes please? (White/ivory). I wore Manolo Hangisi pumps on my engagement and want something a little different for the wedding so maybe some sandals?

Great purchases I have the alma BB in DE and I legit use it every day. It is small but fits a surprisingly good amount in it.

Aquazzura bridal collection is stunning

 

[heretoreaditall2019]

I know this thread tends to do more shoes & jewellery, but just looking at a Stutterheim raincoat - are there any other brands along these lines anyone loves that I should check out before committing, please? I’ve had a rains jacket before and it was okay, but their colours are v Kardashian atm which isn’t for me

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

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
