Designer Items, best and worst purchases #2

[alwaysdreaming]

hi girls quick question, ive sold my designer bags i only 2 lol and want to buy a good practical bag for day and night so shopping day trips, dates and dinners i was stuck between the mini rect chanel bag or WOC, i think caviar is probs the safe option i tried babying my lamb skin cardholder and it looks awful after a few months - which would you reccomend and if you have any what are your thoughts, im sort of over the idea of a chanel classic flap s/m/l and would much rather save for a birkin or kelly so wanted a bag to keep me going plus im only 21
also girls i saw the price of a chanel WOC and i was like some more money you can the dior saddle, im really confused and apprexiate the help x

I would stick to the classic flap in caviar. It’s a classic and it’s very hard waring compared to the lamb skin.
The problem with WOC it’s very small I use mine as a clutch now for dinners as I can only get my cards & lippie in.
If you want a Hermes bag for every day I would recommend the Kelly over the Birkin especially if you get Togo leather. They are not as easy to get but it’s not impossible just the chances of walking into Hermes and scoring either of the two is very slim not impossible.
I don’t know if you have ever looked at this brand but Celine have a number of bags that you could use everyday.

There’s quite a few on sale right now under RRP on the various U.K. bag Facebook groups. What sort of leather are you thinking?

I feel I should get caviar as my trendy that I only got a few months ago is getting so marked and I haven’t even been using it much But, I don’t love minis in caviar and much prefer them in lambskin especially for colours.

What do you guys wear to the pool and beach on holidays? I usually wear plain black or gold havaianas if not a decent pair of espadrilles but feel I need to up my game. I wore my orans to a beach club on my last holiday and they don’t look the same anymore

I've been sending my bags to Mrs B Bag Rehab (recommended on this thread ) - she specialises in LV but I have seen other brands on her page.

I took my off white bag which I use as hand luggage normally (so it was really icky) to the Restory in Harrods. I would fully recommend, they cleaned and posted it back to me within a reasonable timeframe too

For anyone in london I have a very small
Place which comes highly recommended - much cheaper than the more established companies

i think most coach stores (uk) do leather care & cleaning / repairs services but idk if that extends to the inside or lining!

I don’t know whether you can put recommendations on this forum - it might be seen as advertising and therefore might get removed. In which case apologies. I haven’t used them but a friend has and said they were good. You send a photo and they let you know whether they think they can do it or not
