Sorry - I bought the Celine gladiators- not these YSL🙈 didn’t want to mislead. I love these but since the lockdowns I struggle with wearing heels too😭 someone I know got some of these and can’t wear them. Even if I could wear them, you just know the first time I did that heel is going straight down into a pavement crack😂

How are they on, are they comfy?

Hi gals! I’m super happy about this thread. As a 20th bday gift, I decided to send my Alma PM to LV for repair and I hate how it looks 😭😭 It looks so tacky and fake! The honey color made it look so pretty

the first Pic is what I got and the second pic is how I had it at first :(

I’m thinking in selling it
I felt the same about mine after a repair!! However after about a year of adhoc use it’s started to patina again and it’s now a lovely light honey colour and looks much better!

There are ways to speed up the patina process (check YT or some of the LV fb groups) but I’d be too scared of doing it wrong and staining the leather 🤣

Edited to add @Cheezychips I’ve seen people send off handbags to repair places who have special air chamber things that can remove smells from leather, not too helpful as I can’t think what they’re called but worth a look into!

If you want to accelerate the patina - get a good, rich body cream and rub it into the leather nightly - it takes way the brightness and it’s good for the leather too.
The SA nearly keeled over when I said I hated the new leather and did it with my stuff 😂

Only had them on when I tried them but they appear to be - so far so good! They fit well too, true to size if anyone is thinking of getting them. I’m a bit in love with all things Celine rn😍

No no nooooo need to sell!

I bought an old LV Babylone tote some months ago that looked barely used and had very light patina. One strap tore (I think cos I kept it in a dry room), and after I got the cobbler to repair it, my husband applied some bear large/beeswax blend to the straps. It had to be ‘activated’ by a little heat, and to my pleasure, after my husband ran a warm hairdryer over it, it turned a pretty and even light-medium honey shade!

So that’s a way you can accelerate the patina, or just let it develop naturally. Your Alma pm is beautiful, it’s making me want one now lol.

Hi guys. New over here. I want a few classic investment pieces. A nice handbag for starters. What would you guys recommend?

What sort of budget you looking at? Obviously the classic investments are Chanel/Hermes types but (alas) out of my budget! LV Neverfull always seem to resell well. I like to browse the decent resellers too (Luxury Promise/Addicted to Handbags etc)

Don't mention, just buy. I presume you're a working woman and basket bags are relatively inexpensive in the grand scheme of the luxury market.

Summer is upon us and to get maximum cost per wear you're better off buying now in spring rather than later on in the year.

Morning enablers 👋

I ordered the YSL Uptown clutch last week but now it’s arrived it’s not for me. It’s too formal and big, I want something slightly smaller and less blingy, for evening wanders when I’m on holiday. The colours are perfect though - I’m looking for something in raffia or canvas with some kind of brown element. Celine did a cute little pouch with a wrist strap but seem to have stopped doing it now. Anyone have any other suggestions please?

Here’s the Uptown

I love the clutch! A good price too! @Dizzy you’ve now sent me down a bag rabbit hole when I should be doing housework 😂

Celine have this cute one? And some others too on their website.
Also found some others that I liked 😂 in particular the Bulgari one😍
