Designer Items #8

[it’s not been changed?!]

Not designer, but didn’t anyone buy any of the Sienna range at M&S? I bought a few items that I collected yesterday and I’m really happy with them except the long jeans could be a tad longer.

Just in case anyone is interested, YSL have had some price decreases on a few of their items. The Loulous have all gone down. Interesting what’s happening with them. I did think their price increases were excessive.

Hi can anyone please recommend a decent quality leather spray to protect my cream leather Gucci bag which I actually bought months ago and I have been too scared to use … I’m frightened of colour transfer. I was just about to purchase one on handbag clinic but thought I would ask her

I’ve always used the Collonil Water Stop spray, it used to be sold in Mulberry but I think they make their own now. I’ve used it on all of my leather bags and it’s been fine. I haven’t had any colour transfer either. Handbag clinic sounds like it should be fine too though.

I haven’t sent the photos to them yet, I was thinking they may give a low ball for them. I’ve put the loubs on Vinted but no luck so far, will give ebay a go thanks!

Just as an example I was offered £40 for some brand new in box Jimmy Choos by Designer Exchange. I sold on eBay for a decent price. I don’t find Vinted is good for selling shoes either, people don’t want to pay anything that isn’t ridiculously cheap at least they look in great condition, so hopefully that wil help.

Have to consider if they’ll beat Cheshire Oaks prices also

I’d just like to say how disappointed I am in all of you with LABUBU’s

Same haha i draw the line at jellycat, at least they're cute

I find quite a few bags don’t seem to have zips and I get that this is a design choice but I worry about any items just falling out. I was looking at the Hermes Picotin (not that I could afford it) and it has a wide opening but only one strap to close it. Doesn’t look very secure!

I bought myself this LV pocket organiser, from the men’s range, for Mother’s Day. Thought it was a really clever take on monogram.

That’s stunning!

I’ve got my eye on this keepall 25 from the men’s range I love the darker Vachetta.

Where’s the best place to look for older Tiffany pieces?

I’d personally use any Japanese sellers (stores) on eBay (I get almost all my secondhand stuff from them). A lot of them offer free delivery worldwide. But you should check what your tax free allowance is to your address, so you can factor in total cost and see whether it’ll be worth it. My tax free allowance is 800 USD but for UK addresses for example, it’s much less, around £150 or something like that.

Oh its a slippery slope. I have 2 Teletubbies in my house now. Came today. Along with yep care bear. Skullpanda. Labubus by the truck load.

God damn adult money and cute fluffy things in a blind box

I was tempted with the teletubbies but scared I got one of the two random colours and I’d be gutted

 

[maytoseptember]

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

I do have one! Mainly because I wanted it to keep its shape instead of sag at the bottom when there’s a lot of stuff inside.

 

[Curly]

If you were to buy one...would it be ?

LV - Alma BB
LV - Speedy Bandouiliere 25

would be in Damier Ebene canvas. Not sure if I'm buying but I keep being drawn to them

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

 

[Gopher1234]

It is really heavy isn’t it. So glad someone’s validated it . I have it in navy, and don’t think I’ve used it this calendar year. I did consider selling it, because I’m expecting which really means I’ll use it even less! It also fits nothing because of how the middle compartment is. I do think the baby is super cute though, I considered buying one. I ended up buying this instead, completely off seeing it myself in store. As a Speedy 30 die hard fan, I love the shape.

Congratulations! You’ll probably need a bigger bag for the foreseeable then! Love my LV speedy and Noe. I have two sizes in Noe and they are both perfect. The Burberry one is lovely too. I quite like the Fossil Gilmore in tan. A bit niche but I like the style

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!

That is a really nice bag! Or the Mulberry iris for more casual

Hello, this is not designer but you are all very fashionable! Are these shoes ugly or cool? I like them but I feel like I shouldn’t haha

Have you seen the adidas samba Jane? They’re growing on me

 

[BlairWaldorf86]

Thank you, I tried eBay and didn’t get a shred of interest, eventually they stopped offering me the automatic relisting. On Vestiaire I didn’t realise they charge £75 on top of whatever price you set, and someone in the US messaged me saying I was trying to sell it for more than you could buy it for at Polene - all I was trying to do was get back what I paid for it in Euros (which was about £100 less than the UK price after I claimed back the VAT, hehe). Maybe I’m stuck with it!

 

[Honeystar]

Has anyone got a Hunza G bikini/swimsuit? And if so would your recommend? I’m sick of buying cheap swimwear every year that come the next year I don’t like/has lost its shape etc.

 

[Choco88]

Has anyone bought anything exciting recently?

 

[Foodaholic]

Went into Strathberry yesterday and really fancy a tan one. Any recommendations please? I'm normally an Aspinal or Coach girl. Thanks!

Erm… a trip to Bicester is an acceptable half term activity with a 6yo, right? RIGHT?

Well they do have a playground there - when we went a few years back I left my husband and 5 year old there for a bit while I looked around

 

[Mooordgirl]

Guys I have finally found a pre-loved large YSL college bag in excellent condition that I could (just about) afford!! I can’t wait for it to arrive, I have wanted this bag for sooo many years and I’ve had such a crappy time lately that it feels like a true treat yourself moment

Please post pics when you get it!

Plus lots of brands refuse to do business with him, so they’ll lose those ones.
