I love the basket bags but hate that I’m clumsy and will probably have the straw straggling after a few wears. I also love the Dior book tote but £2.5k for a tote? Does anybody else go from one extreme to another? I’m either counting pennies (needlessly) and think everything is overpriced or i am spending (carelessly) like I’ve won the lottery! There is no happy median.
I loved the Book Tote, but DH Gate has been the final nail in the coffin (plus it's so overpriced).

I ended up getting an Hermes all leather tote for only a couple of hundred more

Which tote did you get? I have a GP36 but can’t bring myself to use it as a throw around tote like I would the deauville or book tote!

I didn’t know what DH gate was until I created a TikTok account recently 🤣 So much began to make sense to me. I often wondered how there were so many teens wearing VCA and Cartier. Now I get it!

It is the GP 36 😂

I have been incredibly careful with it, but I just love it so much - and I’m a big believer in using bags rather than babying them (I was actually picking up a bag from aftercare when I picked up the GP)

The whole DH Gate universe so horrifying to me. I’m a huge believer in the history and magic of a brand - that you’re buying into generations of skill, craft etc, and now teenagers are running around saying their plastic copies are made in the same factory 😶

Just googled DH Gate. Basically wish/Joom isn't it. With tshirts that say Moscno instead of Moschino. Yeah that's the same

Same! It’s huge there.

Re the spelling mistakes and unclear matching in product shots - it’s to stop take down/legal requests. Judging by this tiktok content the items shared come looking very close to legit 😬 It must depend what it is, imagine it’s much easier to make small and medium canvas items versus a knit or shoes - but with that said there’s one big video sharing a Birkin that doesn’t look any different to my untrained eye lol.

I work in the city near Bond St where Birkins are staple, and there’s NO way I’d be able to tell the difference from afar. But it must be embarrassing going into shops and the sales staff side eyeing you. Like I’ve said before, I’d rather have a decent All Saints bag than something fake.

Can anyone recommend any nice brands for some summer dresses? I’m usually an ASOS/Zara girl with designer accessories but whenever I’m in Dubai I always notice people wearing dresses that just look really good quality - what sort of brands would this be? Zimmerman look like they have some nice bits.

Has anyone had anything from Love Shack Fancy? Is the quality nice ☺?

Rixo dresses are beautiful. They are my fave.

On the less expensive side of things, nobodys child can have lovely options

Thank you! I will have a look at both of these ☺.

Another one I’ve seen is For Love and Lemons - anyone ever ordered from there?

Love Shack Fancy and For Love and Lemons - I’ve never had an issue with either other than the mini dresses can be really short. But, depends how tall you are

Zimmerman are lovely, Ralph Lauren can have some lovely ones in, &OtherStories is a good more affordable option. I think netaporter is the best bet as more options. I love Rat & Boa but they can be see through

Hey all - I know these have had mixed views - all the chloe woody sandals comfy or not comfy? Thanks in advance!
Not got any myself but a few threads ago some posters said they were not so comfortable and shredded their feet🙁
