Hi all! Does anyone have recommendations on a designer brand of fidget / spinner ring please? I would love one for everyday wear! Thank you 🙏
Not really “designer” but charlottes web specialise in and do a lovely selection and some of them you can select the gemstones . Here are two of mine.

I have both and use my alma all the time

I let be my speedy but don’t seem to reach for it as much. I use my alma during day, meals out, day trips etc
I’d go for the speedy b! A monogram one is on my wish list.

Disclaimer I don’t know anything about Strathberry themselves with this comment this is more general BF chatter - but there are CRM/email search engines you can play around with, you can also just use Twitter/Insta search to see what they posted last year.

IMO/ime Black Friday has been very same-y for the last 5+ years, brands don’t want to do crazy discounting as it isn’t in their best interests, plus trains customers to wait for discounts/cheapens things. Brands have been increasingly more interested in loyalty and/or incentivising higher order values so you (or any one looking to shop ahead of BF, anywhere) may miss out on something like points or a voucher scheme or buy more save more that launches on BF, but unless you’re buying a lot does that rly matter? Also you’re nearly mid month so could always buy & return under your old order id to recoup the difference. Funnily my husband wrote to a (sports shoe) brand as he’d bought some shoes and then they’d emailed him the BF preview, they just refunded the difference straight away 🤷‍♀️

ETA - forgot the old gift with purchase - which will be overstock they want to get rid of so pls don’t let that influence you! Again who cares it’s shit they couldn’t shift the other 11 months of the year x
Thanks for this. Yeah so people mostly said online that black Friday last year was better than their flash sale but only on selected items but also that post Xmas sale was even better. But then again the bag I'm looking for is black so not like a seasonal colour. It's a good idea to buy now and then if cheaper to return and repurchase. Will have a look at their policies! Thanks for all this info

Does anyone know if anywhere still has the original Puzzle with the feet? I’m searching but I feel like I missed the boat. I’d also be open to second-hand if anyone knows anywhere authentic.

Hey, has anyone ever sold anything with designer exchange? I’ve got some barely worn loubs and some off white trainers in decent condition. Both with all the box etc included. I’ll never wear either again but I really want some nice white heels for my wedding, thinking that could be a way to fund them.

I was thinking of Louboutin Jane Mules or Hermes Oasis sandals. Does anyone have any similar styles to these they would recommend?
I have I sold some Yeezys to them and got a reasonable amount. A bit less than if I’d sold them myself but I couldn’t be bothered with the hassle and risk of scammers trying it on!

I had another item rejected though because they said they couldn’t find the made in stamp so didn’t think it was genuine which I’m still miffed about because it 100% is 🙄

I recently bought a speedy 30 in damier ebene as a present to myself for getting through an incredibly tough pregnancy. However I’ve barely used it as I tend to just head out with the pram and stick everything in the bottom! Here I was thinking that it would be a chic little bag for muslins, change of clothes etc but no…. 🙄 hoping I’ll use it more when the weather gets better and I’ve not got a coat on with lots of pockets!

What’s on everyone’s wish list? I usually treat myself after Xmas but I’m feeling uninspired this year.

What designer items if any are you investing in this year? I don’t really have the funds for much at the moment but it would be nice to have a wishlist item. I do like the look of the YSL Le 37 bucket bag but it’s quite similar to other bags I already have. I haven’t seen much else I’m inspired by yet but I do plan on visiting the new Polene store in London as well at some point.
I’ve just online ordered a Jimmy Choo silver clutch bag that I’d been eyeing up in the sales…can’t wait for it to arrive!! And I have my eye on some Chopard Jewellery for my wish list!

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 had one about a year, I have used it pretty much every day, I use a bag liner and carry my whole life around in it - still looks pristine, no sign of wear at all.

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 😢
I treated myself to a Mulberry Lily in a duck blue colour recently as it was 30% discount on their website. I own a few bags of the range and they are timeless imo- a Lily in black is my go-to for special occasions, small Amberley goes with any everyday outfit, small Bayswater tote for work. The only one I’ve been a little disappointed with is the Billie- lovely bag, but the strap disattaches occasionally due to the poor design.

Aimee Kestenberg make amazing and more affordable bags- the leather is so soft, the quality is really good and offer a good variety of more trendy styles.

I have the Sac De Jour. It is notoriously heavy, even empty. I can’t do it anymore! It’s been unused for ages. However, I can’t bring myself to part with it. It’s SO perfect. Mine is the small though, and I’m sure you know the small is anything but small! I don’t feel like they’re popular anymore, but I don’t care as they are SO smart and timeless bags like that really never can go “out”.
I think they are really timeless and beautifully made. I had the small size before but sold it because it was soo heavy, I was hoping the baby wouldn’t be as much!
 
I’m getting a nice bonus this year. What would you buy? Any recommendations?
I fancy a nice square scarf or stole/shawl that I can wear over my shoulders in the summer.
But I’m open to ideas, I don’t want to spend more than £2k on whatever it is

I’m thinking of returning an item to Cettire…what will the charges be? I’ve read online about £20/£25 postage charge but I’ve also read taxes will be deducted?

Anyone have any experience in return charges?

I’d love the sac de jour in baby in tan! Or the Manhattan tote. If anyone has either, I’d love to know if they’re heavy to carry?

I know, I feel the same 😩 all the influencers now wear Hermes, and I’m not seeing anything that I’d like

I like Mulberry, the leather looks really sturdy and good quality. I’ve been looking vintage Balenciaga city bags, but it’s more a casual vibe, not an everyday staple. Especially for work

I had a trip to Bicester village at the start of the week and treated myself to a medium Lily from Mulberry 🙊 I also got a few other bits including a couple of bargains in Lululemon. Now to be good for January 😆
I have this bag too, it’s one of my favourites! Hope you enjoy it.
