Designer Items #7

[taffygirl77]

Long term lurker, but figured you would be the best people to ask.

I'm after a rucksack/backpack for Christmas. Around £500, leather and prefably tan colour - open to suggestions though on that.

It's been so long since I had a new bag, I've no idea where to start looking!

Does anyone own the Cartier love bracelet, small, paved in yellow gold? £26,000 is crazy I need to win the lottery

I would go LV (but I’m a fan of the classics)

I got my speedy as an 18th birthday present (currently in my 30s) and it’s lasted so well. It’s really hard wearing (it’s literally been run over by a car), and it’s aged really nicely. I can even squeeze my laptop in it. It’s also amazing as a hand luggage bag as it literally holds everything you could possibly need.

Thank you
I think I will probably buy one .. which print do you have?
I already have the pochette Metis in emprente black leather so will possibly go with a brown print, maybe Damier Ebene ?

Where would one buy a genuine preloved bag?

 

[it’s not been changed?!]

Sorry if this has been asked and answered previously… has anyone sold on vestiaire and if so, how was the transaction?

Hi Enablers

Hope we're all well.

Has anyone bought any high end bags recently? What are we thinking on quality these days? I've just received the YSL Le 5 a 7 (which is bloody gorgeous) however I have to return it and exchange it for another as the SAINT LAURENT stamp on the metal buckle isn't quite right. The stamp is faded/not deep enough in the middle of the word LAURENT - as if it's not been pushed down into the metal enough. Net a Porter are sending a replacement but even bloody so. It's a nearly £2k bag and the stamping isn't consistent! It's got me thinking as the Celine Ava I ordered also had a quality issue - the poppers on the shoulder strap were incredibly difficult to pull apart to adjust and I couldn't actually get all 4 of them to push back together again.

These are expensive bags and I'm shocked at such basic quality control failures.

Is the bag nice? I’ve had my eye on this bag, is it a bulky or too big for every day? I usually use small crossbody bags but I really like the design of this one!

I just meant in general though like aren’t they bringing autumn colours in out of curiosity? I don’t need links to other colours, plenty preloved ones about

ahh assumed you were expecting other colours to be able to choose from!

Is it normal for something to be delivered before the money has come out of my account?? I ordered Saturday and it got delivered today. The money was in pending in my bank account since Saturday but today it's disappeared

@Luxe_cheshire on Insta sell a lot of Chanel at fairly decent prices!

You can visit their office too for a try on session if you’re local, it’s the turn off the bypass as if you’re headed around the back of tatton

 

[OnlyHereForTheLolz]

I want to by myself a nice watch. I’ve been thinking about it for awhile. I always loved Cartier but now Rolex has also caught my eye

Anyway for those who do have a luxury watch can you wear it all day everyday? Are they hardy?
I wear a eatch all the time doing all activities, so just because it’s luxury doesn’t mean I will save it for special occasions.
I’m starting to lean more towards Rolex but the question is are they worth the price for everyday wear?

 

[Jas119]

I bought them when I was post partum and I got an M, which according to their size guide is a 14-16 but they were perfect, now back to my normal 10 and they still fit fine so I would say size up based on that!

Thanks for this, I’ve been considering getting some for a while, might purchase in my Harrods discount day

Hello designer gurus, I was wondering if anyone had any insight into when it would be best to buy a Mulberry bag? There is 20% off full price Mulberry in House of Fraser just now and I doubt the Christmas sale would be any more than that, but wanted to ask the opinion of you helpful people. It's a bayswater Mulberry bag, if that's any use.

I think Sports Direct/HOF own a chunk of Mulberry now! There are some reductions on Mulberry on Flannels website but the current promo code isn’t valid

I have this Van Cleef necklace but I don’t get much wear out of it. I’m thinking about selling it, it’s only 9 months old, where is the best place to sell second hand jewellery? Any help appreciated! X

 

[ATV2021]

I would love to see your style. I bet your one if those people who wears 20 different colours and six different patterns and look like you should be in vogue.
I mainly stick with black
---

I definitely do clash colours on the regular I don't follow trends, but I do aspire to some of the vintage ladies I follow and wish I had the balls to rock what they do!

Only semi benefit of being tall, I stand out anyway so may aswell attempt to look OK doing so I'll happily wear green with an orange crochet bag and chunky boots ahahah

 

[OnlyHereForTheLolz]

my friend is selling a pair of new B23s and I’m considering buying them, but I’ve just thought are they way past it? I hated them when the first come out but now I’m looking at them like .

I don’t usually care about if things are in or out of fashion, but because this are quite loud I’ve second guessed it

What colour are they? Because most are neutral colours and I don't think they are loud at all

Anyone know where I can find the serial number stamp on the LV Rosalie Monogram wallet? I just received it (from LV.com) but can't find its serial number anywhere. My Zoé (from 5 years ago) has this in the inside back slip pocket.
