Designer Items #8

[Choco88]

Thank you. Yes, I was thinking of a small bag for just wallet, phone, keys for day sightseeing but I’ve just found the measurements & think it’ll be too tight. I think they’re so cute though & I know I’ll buy one anyway

I got one off eBay for £30 came with the the strap and all the packaging

Please can someone help me find a new workbag? Criteria are it must zip up / fully close as I have to commute on the train and walk in the rain, be big enough to chuck all manners of things in including an A5 notebook and have pockets for bits so that I don't have to constantly rummage for things. It seems to be impossible to find anything vaguely stylish that meets this. Happy to spend up to £2-3k and will use everyday rather than keep for best. Thanks

Bespoke Ebury Tote

The favourite Ebury Tote can now be personalised – inside and out – with initials and a handwritten message. It is designed for optimum organisation, with two zipped pockets, labelled compartments for a phone, pen, cards and sunglasses, and a main section where you can stow a laptop, journal...

Anya Hindmarch are amazing for the little pockets they have in their bags. Whilst it doesn’t zip up fully there are different compartments for your bits and pieces. I love their luggage

Such a shame their quality has gone downhill these days. I bought these earrings a while back, loved them but sent them back as the clasp was so fragile it was obvious they wouldn’t last long. I’m done with Tiffany now.

I’ve got 3

Ah I remember when I only had 3. Was a simpler time. With money.

Hi everyone, what bags is everyone loving now at mid-price range? I am over seeing everyone with Birkins and Chanel classic flap in this economy

Vestiaire do have an authentication option if you're unsure/it's a more expensive item.

Designer exchange I like. You can whatsapp them for more photos etc and they'll happily send over which is good. I loved their popup in Bicester village.

Thanks so much.
They have one in Cheshire Oaks which isn't too far from me.

 

[A1992]

That’s really poor @Islawight is it too late to complain? There’s no way they didn’t come with a dust bag which makes you wonder where they went?

@A1992 I have a 30 and I was worried it might be a bit too big, but it really isn’t. If you’re the type of person who likes to carry a lot of around with you, the 30 will be perfect. I am not a tiny bag person

Thank you! And do you have an organiser/ would you recommend getting one?

 

[Choco88]

If you can get to their Lexington street store they have aged versions of a few of their bags that’ll give you an idea of their durability. IMO they age really nicely. I have scratched mine with a ring, but I personally don’t mind stuff like and prefer how the older battered ones look lol.

Thank you I didn’t know that! I’m up north but may possibly visit London before Xmas.

 

[gabbysolis]

Did anyone buy anything on their holidays/vacations? I got the small Loewe bucket bag which I already feel like I can’t use as the weather is so bad… also the ‘Staudine’ Tommy bag which is just gorgeous but I have to be careful about hitting it off anything.

I think YSL is underrated

 

[Beverley Macker]

Does anyone on here have a Goyard St Louis tote? I’ve been thinking of treating myself as I love the green one in particular and I love the floppy look and think it would be perfect for travel.

I’m not too bothered about the comments I’ve seen during my research that they look cheap (personally I disagree!), but I’ve seen a few concerns about the wear and tear. Any insight would be useful

I’ve got one thats about a decade old, it has a few small holes so I’ll have to replace it soonish. I’ve used it loads and treat it pretty badly though.
i dread to think how much they’ve increased in price since I bought my last one.

 

[OnlyHereForTheLolz]

Thank you, yes of course Chanel! Thanks..found some similar vintage versions looks like a re release

If you’re a Costco member then keep an eye out. They sometimes have Chanel watches in there

 

[Grizzlybear]

Be deadly for me

I usually avoid MK as think they're not the best BUT at xmas I spied this bag, didn't get it, regret it...never saw at BV... UNTIL TODAY

Its fate?! I love the green Tory though great roundup so far girl, you do us proud

 

[Minime20]

Sorry if this has already been asked before but I have decided to clear out all my tat in stages and replace it with nice once off pieces that I can build on. I would love to start with designer belts for jeans / trousers and would love if you could recommend some nice timeless belts that would look good. Any help would be appreciated as it is a minefield out there

 

[OnlyHereForTheLolz]

Anyone know about prices in Cartier Schiphol Airport now were non EU? Will it be any cheaper than buying in the UK?

As long as you claim the tax back then you’ll make a saving

 

[Foodaholic]

I recommend the Bayswater tote bag for work.

Thank you. I will take a look

 

[tarahalls]

I absolutely love mine - it fits a phone, a card wallet, keys, a lip balm and some tissues. Totally lightweight. I use it all the time!

Thank you I have ordered one!

 

[Choco88]

They’ve been on my radar for a while but tbh I don’t particularly love any of the designs enough to pull the trigger. My favourite is the new Hudson tote in chocolate suede which looks really lovely. I’ve heard the quality isn’t amazing but they also apparently do lifetime repairs. I saw a TikTok recently where someone bought a damaged bag on Vinted and then, after contacting Demellier about a repair, got it replaced! Which bag are you thinking?

As for Mulberry, they priced me out years ago and I just can’t spend four figures on a bag. I really like the new Maggie bag but it’s over £1000 FFS.

It was this one I was considering in either black or tan.

Yes the Mulberry prices are crazy I think they usually have a sale in June so I might hold off.

 

[Honeystar]

Ok lovely people I need some ideas! It’s my 30th this year Mr HoneyStar has asked if I want to pick out some jewellery (or at least give some strong hinted suggestions)…what would you all recommend? My first thought was a tennis bracelet but would love to know if anyone has a sentimental piece/piece of jewellery they received for a milestone that they still love?

I’m not really in the market to buy anything new at the moment but I’m finding myself looking the Mulberry Lana styles regularly, I haven’t seen them in person but I think they look lovely.
I’m also over seeing Hermes and Chanel classic flaps.
My pet hate is the mini Kelly, I cannot stand that bag!
