Does anyone have any experience with Vivienne Westwood watches? I usually wear Olivia Burton day to day but I got a little bit of money for my birthday and was looking to buy something a bit more ‘high end’ (well ‘high end’ for my budget🤣). Or are there any alternative brands around £200-£300 you would recommend for watches? I’ve seen a couple of Tory Burch watches that are nice but I’m not crazy about them.

Michel Herbelin have some lovely ladies watches. One of my friends got one in stainless steel about ten years ago, is still wearing it and I’m always admiring it!

i asked a similar question on the previous thread but people were saying they were bad quality for daily use :( a shame as they are really beautiful
i eventually bought one from ‘fossil’ and its amazing.

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 🤣)

Personally I wouldn’t spend money on a watch from a mid-range designer. The quality will be no better than Fossil, you’ll just be paying a premium for the name. Absolutely nothing wrong with Fossil BTW, I had one for years which my daughter now wears and it’s great for what I paid for it.

I think that’s a lovely idea. The Tiffany heart bead bracelet is timeless! Which colour heart are you thinking? And it’s a gorgeous present for a teenager! You’ve a lucky niece!

I also have the Tiffany bead bracelet and had my first one for years until I caught it on my washing machine and it broke 🥺 I replaced it with the rose gold heart a couple of years ago and love it just the same. It’s just really wearable and I feel naked without it. She will love it, you’re a great Aunty! X

Thank you both. I had a look at Fossil and some of the watches are gorgeous! I might hold off for a while though before I make a decision. I initially wanted to buy a designer bag but oddly I’ve never seen one that I’ve loved enough to want to save up for, even with monetary gifts.

On the subject of Tiffany, I don’t have a bracelet but I do have the necklace with the round ‘return to Tiffany’ tag instead of the heart shape. I absolutely adore it! Can never go wrong with a Tiffany gift in my opinion.

I know it’s very much a marmite bag but I love it and we go away for Christmas beach holiday so cute with my little outfits 🥹🤍

I love this bag, if I get a spare £4k I’d like a black one! Do you know if it fits a iPhone Pro in it?!? I love the minis but I need to fit my phone in😑
