Designer Items #8

Has anyone got the Alexander Wang mini Rockie bag? Is it also heavy? I had the Rocco and had to sell it because it was too heavy! But the little one is cute
 
Does anyone have any recommendations for a nice low/mid range cross body, but one that can be taken on a night out but fits a decent bit of stuff? Like a small make up pouch/a few bits of make up, small purse, keys, mini hairbrush? Coach Cassie doesn't quite cut it 😅
I got into vintage Coach recently and found a nineties Coach Court bag, can be worn cross body and is quite spacious, if vintage is your thing. The quality compared to modern Coach is something else...
-----------------
I caved and bought a cotton babaa no 18 jumper in the sale. Someone take my credit card away, FFS. I wanted a second hand one, but no decent ones were coming up. :LOL:

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

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 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!

When you're rich enough you don't care if you lose anything :LOL:

Yeah I don't like bags without zips or a proper flap that closes.

Also don't like chains for a long strap, so many nice bags I'd like to get ruined by a chain.


Considering getting strathberry mosaic next 🤔 it doesn't have a zip haha but it has a flap and a magnetic clasp

I had a bag that had chains and one day when I was in the supermarket at the self service, the chain slid into the gaps of the self service machine and got stuck somehow! It wasn’t an expensive bag by any means but as a poor student I wasn’t going to leave it behind. Though I did start to panic that I’d have to live in Asda for the rest of my life.

Both my Tiffany bracelets have broken in the last 2 days...one I've had to have repaired twice (2014 & 2022) and the other I got in 2018. Both hearts have vanished. Minimum £70 per bracelet for repair...again.
Tempted to cut my losses because this is BS. Any recommendations for something dainty to replace because I'm fuming lol

I have a dilemma; purchased a pair of Le Chameau wellies from the outlet section of their website, they’ve arrived and they’re a little snug across the top of the foot, I could do with sizing up, but the entire outlet has vanished from the site now.

The boots with boot bag and wax stick as a bundle came to just £58, which for that brand is an absolute steal! So should I keep them because it was such a ridiculously low price, even if they’re a little tight? Should I maybe sell them on? Or should I return them and just pay out full price to replace them with something I’d be happier with?
Definitely get rid. I’m not a health hypochondriac but inappropriate shoes do damage feet and it can cause issues with stability, posture, etc and need physio/regular exercises to correct! Most importantly life is too short and there will never be a time where you want to be in pain for the duration of wear & after. 🤷🏻‍♀️

You should always size up with wellies and imo boots in general. I agree with the other poster send them back. You could always contact the website and ask if you could swap for a larger size

That’s a dose! I agree with you that it’s time to try a new type of bracelet! Personally, I think the Messika Move range is really cute! Do you want Sterling Silver or are you thinking of going for gold? A bangle might be practical as they tend to be indestructible!

I have a broken lobster clasp on my early 2000’s Tiffany bracelet. Did you have to take it back to Tiffany for repair or can any jewellers do it?

Well I've gotta send to Tiffany as the hearts have both gone, no idea when they broke off either 🥲
 
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 had one of the Tiffany interlocking rings bought for me and it broke within 3 months. Literally snapped in half (and I have a desk job, so not particularly rough with my hands). Complained to Tiffany so they offered to repair it but when it came back you could still see when it had snapped.

it was over £1000, so I kicked up a fuss and finally (after speaking to them three times) got my money back and returned the item. I was so disappointed with the quality and customer service - never again! I refuse to buy from them now.
