So the ridiculous Chanel increase is tomorrow, do we know of Dior et al are planning on one?
Coincidentally I was just browsing as the price was changing - the mini flap was glitching between 3650 and 4130 each time I refreshed the page. Ah well no chance I'll ever get it now. At beginning of lockdown it was 2700 so it's practically doubled.

Finally bought my Veja campos and I love them!!! They are so comfy. How has it taken me this long! Don’t think it will be long before I buy another pair now haha

8 days later and she arrived. I am in love.
The bag seems very delicate.
Oh lush! They're such beautiful bags aren't they? I am using mine carefully as it's wicker/straw/whatever the hell it's made from but it does feel strangely robust to me.

This is such a gorgeous combo 😭 and the engagement shoes. I want to be you when I grow up!

I’m not that bothered by fakes tbh, they’ve always been around and always will be. But I think that's why it's so important to buy designer stuff you actually like - @ATV2021 does this really well IMO with the more unusual items - and not just 'to have a designer bag' for example. Like I know LV is a bit marmite for this reason but the quality and the detail in real LV really stands out from fakes, and I am still as obsessed with the stuff I have from LV as the day I got them. I was actually on the train the other day with my LV Neverfull opposite a woman who had an extremely obvious fake and it was really amusing because we were both just sitting there eyeing up each other's bags 😂

Is anyone planning an summer accessory purchases atm? I'm hoping this sun stays around so I can get my Orans back out!
Aww thank you ❤ I do love my more unusual/unique bits. Even with my Cartier ring I got a band with diamond/Cartier name on instead of the more seen love types. My LV is my first ever proper designer and I went for a little red epi satchel & then got the matching key pouch/purse (I do also have the monogram one....this threads fault!). LV when I was a teen (apart from being like £500 for a neverfull 😪😪😪🤣) was always the thing that, in my little head lol, was to say I'd done well by being able to buy one.

Guys…I bought this Chanel lip balm and the logo is a bit 🥴 would you complain about this? It came beautifully packaged with samples but I’m a bit disappointed with how sloppy the logo is! Am I just being fussy?
That’s horrific! I bought one a few weeks ago and the logo is perfect! I’ll take a photo later for you so you can compare. Defo complain!

Yeah my experience is more companies like Matches and Net A Porter. Anyone junior is on like £15k and ‘mid’ people are on around £22k- in London 😮
What disciplines are these in if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve never heard of salaries that low even for non technical roles eg marketing or merchandising? The worst I’ve heard is £22-25k for a junior.

If anyone’s hiring people at £15k they need to give their head a wobble. As a hiring manager you have influence on this, and if your dept only has budget for a £15k salary then you don’t have budget to hire you have budget for a temp contractor resource at best.

How do you know they were fake?! I own some of the real items on your list and unless it was an awful fake, I’m not sure I would actually notice! I have a friend with the fake version of the Oran’s and annoyingly, they are near enough identical to my real pair!
Because we’ve had many a conversation about it! We’re a close knit group and good friends, there’s no judgement or pretence.

Basket experts (and specifically @ATV2021 😁 ): do I need to do anything to protect my new baby? I do really look after things but I also use my nice things too and I want to keep her pristine.

I don’t get people that buy fakes because it’s like you’re trying to portray an image that you aren’t? Like who are you trying to impress? 😂 if something isn’t in your financial reach just accept that. There is so much choice out there. I don’t understand when people say they got a fake Chanel classic flap because they “like the style” there are other flap bags out there…just say you want Chanel but can’t afford it lol

Do you think you'd still wear the loop when the trend has passed? I think these shape bags will date horribly. They're cute but definitely a trend and I wonder whether you'd be irritated that you spent so much on a trend bag unless you're confident to keep wearing it when it's time has passed
I agree, I like the Loop Bag but personally won’t wear that in a few years time.. I have the Alma BB and can definitely say I’ll be using that until it’s withered away 🤣 it’s a classic bag with plenty space and ages well.

I’m always a bit intrigued by the key pouches…what’s the advantage of them over an honest-to-God key ring please?! I know they look gorgeous but are they useful at all? Apologies if this is a sacrilegious question!!!
I use mine every day, I keep a few cards, change, a hair bobble and some receipts in there. It’s sooo useful to just grab and go since it’s attached on my keys!

Omg me too, I’ve recently landed (what is hopefully 🤞🏻) my dream job and I left my current one yesterday, I feel like I ought to buy something special but it’s a fleeting thought, there’s nothing I NEED and there’s so much choice out there that it’s easier to just go “nah” and think about something else. (First world problems 😅)
Congrats bb! ❤ and best of luck you’ll smash it!

And same - the joy is taken out of it when you’ve got to Google shareholders to see if there are human/employment rights infringements profiting from ur purchase ☹ and Tanner Leatherstein on TikTok whose content I love but it does take the appeal out of buying massively.

Cheeky cow! I sold my Triple S about a fortnight before it came out, - thank god as I’d never flog them for a decent price now.

This thread cost me....too damn much on a Cartier ring 🤣. And a basket bag. And a LV key pouch.

So I'm paying it forward by sharing my loves 🤣🤣
Haha I don’t have a designer bag, and I’ve got it in my head that I’m going to buy my first this year but I’m determined to wait for some sort of special occasion and this thread doesn’t help 😜😂
