Designer Items #6

what sort of work bags do you guys use? i don't want something too expensive for work but i'd like a niceish bag to take.

 

[Scorpihoe]

Yes it’s the St. Louis PM. I absolutely love it! It’s a bit floppy but I like that about it! Really laid back luxury I have it 18 months now and there is not one sign of wear despite travelling abroad with it, using it for work wtc. Handles good and sturdy too. I think the neverfull is a bit more structured but i just prefer the Goyard! More understated and has that “if you know you know” factor

Thank you so much! Yeah I’m not a fan of the neverfull and my YSL tote is getting a bit battered on the handles so I need something new. Sorry I think my message edited but I meant to ask if the handles were short? I’ve heard they’re a bit shorter on the pm size!

thank you so much for the info

which colour tone you wear more? i think rice is easier to match , chalk is bit cool tone.

I’m leaning towards the rice, it’s more for summer so more neutral tones I’m not into bright bags.

I'm sure you all have lovely lady dainty feet and not size 9 (43) boats like I do, but does anyone know any of the higher brands who do sandals in my size? So many stop at a 7!

Hi all! I have a Mulberry Bayswater that hasn’t been used in years and most likely will never be used again! Best place to sell? Any advice and info would be much appreciated. I’ve sold dresses on eBay and Vinted but never a designer handbag x

I actually love logo belts, I’m probably a bit tacky though the only ones of those I like is the Gamma though, the others remind me of 21 year old finance intern boys in Canary Wharf x

So true!! Im leaning towards the Gamma as it’s a bit less “obvious”. Thanks for your help

I sometimes put my gym padlock and keys in there!

Do any other brands do one similar? I love it just not a big LV person

Does anyone have any experience with the kids Hunza G swimsuits? Not sure if my 1 year old would be too small for the smallest children’s size …

Dior do really nice blotting papers in a wallet (not sure if it’s made of cardboard or plastic) and it has a mirror inside it. It might tide you over until you find the compact of your dreams! Chanel used to do a really cute compact, but it seems to be sold out…

Thankyou all for your replies I appreciate the feedback I’m going to msg the SA who resevered the bag for me and ask for a box. It was a funny situation as when I arrived to pick up the bag she was on her break and another SA ended up serving me and even when I asked him if I could have a box he said they don’t provide boxes for basket bags?? Abit disappointingas I usually have really good service in harrods

I remember buying gucci items and they didn’t give me a box.. told me they had run out

 

[Scorpihoe]

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

Which ones did you get? I have my eye on these but I also quite like the “V-10” style

 

[Holidaybobs]

Has anyone seen any nice/classy initial bracelets? Or a bracelet with a little symbol on? I can’t seem to find any online

 

[Agent Cooper]

Veja look lovely but they hurt my feet so bad

Oh really? Why is that? I haven’t had Vejas before but I tried on the Esplar ones and they seemed quite comfy with soft and supple leather. I do have narrow feet, but my arches/insteps are quite high so there are many styles I can’t wear — Vejas seemed fine though, at least at first glance

 

[ATV2021]

Are handbag angels the best for conversion kits? I want a NF pouch to use as a little side bag but carrying bags gets on my nerves

 

[yankydoo]

I've bought another pair of Orans. In black. I can't 'fess up to anyone IRL because they'll probably tell me I have a problem (and in all honesty, they'd be absolutely right) so I'm avoiding the judgement and telling you crazy cats. Welcome to Designer Items (In Confession). Praise be.

Haha I love this. What colours do you have? I have a black pair and really want a nude/neutral pair now.

 

[panini]

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

15k is below minimum wage…

 

[Dizzy]

Are the huntz g swimsuits worth it?

Depends on your definition of worth it I guess. They aren’t particularly well made and you have to treat them carefully but the bikinis are the comfiest swimwear I’ve worn and I love the style so to me they are.

 

[OnlyHereForTheLolz]

Could anyone recommend a bag around the £1k mark? Ideally evening bag, but to be honest any bag at this point. Running out of time to tell the bf what I’d like for my birthday

I’ve looked ALL over, and just can’t see anything at this mark anymore. Was thinking my best bet might be going to Bicester for a bargain but it’s so far so want to avoid doing this if poss

I love Balmain for cheaper bags

 

[pommynoir]

That sounds like heaven. I got caught out with the tax refund because you can’t claim it on the Eurostar

Could you not have claimed it in store or by getting the form once you were home? How annoying!

 

[OnlyHereForTheLolz]

Does anybody have the LV Romy card holder? Just wondering how roomy it is? Can it hold like a few coins and notes? Or not worth it?
I’ll need to order it online so just want an idea
