Designer Items, best and worst purchases #2

[heretoreaditall2019]

I‘ve bought a couple!! I’m in a few groups on facebook where people buy and sell LV - there are quite a few reputable sellers who buy in bulk from auction houses and sell on through facebook, but I’ve also bought from people selling privately through the groups. I always join a group and then observe for a while to get a feel for who‘s who and how the group works. Usually they have a rule that sellers have to post items on the page and buyers comment first, before moving to DM, and always pay through PayPal. There are a few companies that authenticate bags too (although I’ve heard of them getting it wrong too).



Mine is a bit scratched now, but I pointed it out to my friend recently and she said she wouldn’t have noticed. Mulberry will replace the plate if it gets scratched, for about £50 I think.

Thank you for this - didn’t even think to check Facebook! I’m just so nervous of ending up with a bag someone’s bf bought them but didn’t tell them was actually from Turkey

if you use Reddit they have a Louis Vuitton page. People post bags they’ve found for sale and others in the group will authenticate. There are LV SA’s on there too.

Has anyone on here got experience of the Hermes loafers please? I was going to buy the Gucci Jordanne ones but have seen these now and I am in love

hey girls an update on my toy loulou, selfridges online refused my refund because they said the bag has scratches and isnt in a resellable condition although i marked it as faulty because of the images i uploaded in the last thread im so upset about it and dont know what to do, when i first went in store the lady said she cant exchange bc there wasnt another available so i returned using the online service and now theyre refusing a refund

This is the second case I've read of Selfridges declining a refund on an item that was sent to the person in imperfect condition. I will never order from them. When are they sending it back to you? You could take it back to the store and get a refund.

The only thing putting me off is the postman lock, does it scratch easily? A lot of the preloved locks look battered.

I have kept the protector on mine .

What do we think of the rive gauche tote? I have a trip coming up and thinking of treating myself to a nice tote bag

I like it, hope you are going on a nice trip?
I’ve just bought the Loewe flamenco in large, can’t wait for his arrival!

Does anyone have a mulberry lily? I’m looking for a black leather bag that can be worn crossbody casually in the day and on the shoulder for nights out. Looking to spend under £1000

I have a lily although I don't use mine as much as I don't want to scratch the leather .
I remember watching one of Sophie Shohet's videos and she was saying there's now places that sell hardware protectors... Annoyingly I can't find the vid where she said it but managed to find a site online. I personally haven't used them though!

Thanks lovely! I’m going to Spain, that’s as far as I can go in this current time ha! Just checked out the Loewe bag and it looks lovely! Love the warm desert colour. Enjoy the bag x

Thanks, I’m worried that it might feel massive after all my small bags I’ve been carrying?
I’m off to Spain too next week! I can’t wait and it’s hot AF!

I really like it, think it’s quite timeless and apparently very roomy. I’ve been tempted by one as a ‘throw it all in’ bag for work

Agreed - one of the best sellers of preowned handbags out there.

Yes I’ve watched a few reviews on YouTube and it’s very spacious. I want it for the same reason, wack everything in there and keep moving lol! What colour are you thinking of getting?

I’m a true goth at heart so black! I wear a lot of dark so I would be worried about the transfer on the lighter one. I think both look beautiful though.

Did you try it on in person? I think you’ll be fine! I’m all for shoulder bags but I do reach out for my big bags when needed.
Enjoy Spain! Im flying out there in two weeks and can’t wait xx

Any recommendations for some really nice designer sunglasses for a very small face?

I have the lily, I love it never wear crossbody though.
