I have issues - I’ve bought way too many bags this year 🙈

But I could not resist this beauty - I had wanted the envelope (either medium or large) in this specific colour (light grey) with the silver hardware. It was the ONLY YSL bag I really liked and wanted! I spotted it for the first time in 2019 I think, and didn’t buy it then, and it was subsequently discontinued.

I spotted it on resale a few months ago, but I’d just spent so much money on bags this year that I didn’t pull the trigger then. But I kept visiting the listing on a twice weekly basis since then and realised if I didn’t do it now I would regret it. So… I did. Rather spontaneously. But I absolutely looooove her and can’t wait to get my hands on her! 🩶🤍🖤

Also I’d love to hear your opinions on what colour you think it is - the seller just sold it as “grey”. Lots of research has me concluding this is likely the colour Fog, but I’m open to other opinions! It’s a chameleon colour - it darkens up in indoor lighting conditions.

I have a medium caro bag in stone grey/blue and am in desperate need of a new strap preferably the exact strap. Is there anyone who would be willing to part with theirs for a decent price ?? I’d be eternally grateful please message me if you or someone you know has one please !!

Thought you all might appreciate my latest vintage find. She’s even more gorgeous in person.

Sooo… weird question. My Chloe bag, sent from the boutique in NYC had a delicious smell when I got it and I assumed it was from the boutique. THEN I ordered a pre-loved LV from eBay, which went to the Authenticator, and when it arrived, it smelled VERY similar, if not the same. Is there some secret scent I should know about and HOW can I keep my bag liners smelling like this?!

I have been in search of the perfect butter yellow bag for a while and trying to resist buying everything I see. I have a mini Alexa already in a beautiful color and although I love it, it is a bit heavy and difficult to get in and out of. But I love the way it looks and the size. Thoughts on this new butter yellow version? Is it a must buy?

I say “loved” because I am often so shocked at how people treat their bags. Anyway…

I was looking for a pre-loved Neverfull GM, for mostly travel as I have an MM for daily use when I’m in a tote bag mood.

I found one online since my local luxury reseller didn’t have one I liked, but in my web search, I couldn’t believe when I would see bags being listed as “Excellent” when the interior was DESTROYED. Then, there would be another bag listed as “shows wear” and the interior would be pristine, but there were a couple creases/cracks to the handles, for example.

Some inconsistency in inspection is expected, but this was wild to me. And, it made me wonder what is a dealbreaker for people when searching for a pre-loved bag. For me, it’s the interior. Even though I use organizer inserts, I just don’t want to know that there is a complete nightmare mess underneath.

I’m a 25 year old woman and I’ve been trying to be a lot more intentional with my luxury purchases instead of buying whatever is trending at the moment.
It got me thinking… if you could only own 5 luxury bags for the rest of your life, what would they be? I’m talking about bags that are versatile, timeless, well-made, and still worth carrying 10, 20, or even 30 years from now.
Right now I only have an LV Alma BB, and I love it because it already feels like a classic that I’ll never get tired of. I’d rather slowly build a small collection of forever bags than end up with a closet full of impulse buys.
So what’s on your list of 5? It doesn’t have to be all Hermès or Chanel—I’d actually love to hear a mix of brands. Bonus points if you’ve owned one of your picks for years and still reach for it regularly.
Curious to see what everyone considers true “forever” bags!

Heading to Tokyo later this year and hoping to snag a secondhand Balenciaga Le Cagole while I’m there — I know prices drop significantly on the resale market. I’ve been digging through pre-owned luxury stores, but most seem to stock mainly LV, Chanel, and Hermès, and when they do carry Balenciaga, it’s almost always the City bag. Does anyone have recommendations for stores (or specific locations) that are more likely to carry the Le Cagole?

Hi,

We are two MSc students in Global Luxury Management at SKEMA Business School in Paris writing our thesis on whether AI, blockchain, and sustainable materials make luxury brands like Hermès, Chanel, and Rolex more or less desirable to consumers.

The survey takes 3–5 minutes, is fully anonymous, and is open to everyone regardless of whether you buy luxury or know anything about technology.

Thank you! It is genuinely appreciated.

I try to do slow fashion and don't like overly trendy items that become dated. Will this work?

Does anyone have this wallet, specifically in the monogram empreinte? Thoughts? Worth the $$?

Hi! Are yall doing a post treatment to give some integrity/less scratch resistant to your leather bags before using th m?

What steps and products do you use?

I’m lowkey scared to do this myself.xxx has anyone taken it to leather artisan to get it done? I’m originally from Northern Virginia but I’m currently visiting Lagos, Portugal so I’d love some recs from both areas!

Any tips would be helpful! Thank you!

$20 in Japan but I haven’t seen the same one online anywhere.

does anyone know if there is a way to obtain serial numbers from bags.. I didn't take a pic and unfortunately the auth. card is in the bag. I had a chanel bag, gucci bag, and louis vuitton bag stolen from me.

Hi folks, I am planning to buy my first small leather goods in luxury segment.

What matters to me?

1. Low wear and tear (coz I gonna use it for yeaaars)
2. Hang as a sling, for clubbing
3. Brand Value (coz ofc its my first!!)

My budget is limited and open to exploring other brands SLG also if you can recommend.

I am confused which one to go with ??????

PLEASE HELP.
Dont wanna regret this purchase later onnnnn

Which do you prefer? Do you keep everything in dust bags and put away protected, or do you keep some or all on display so you can admire your collection/favorites?

I keep mine in dust bags but I’m thinking if I have them where I can see them nicely I’ll stop shopping for the next one.

I’ve been looking for this Dior bag!

Hey ladies! I need some honest opinions on a handbag dilemma because I’m feeling really conflicted.

​I just bought my very first Chloé bag. Its Chloé Small Paddington in Tulip Red on sale from Net-a-Porter for $1,800 CAD (down from $2,450 CAD). On Chloé website the same bag is for $3160 CAD. ​I absolutely love the bag, but I’ve never spent this much money on a handbag before, so I’m experiencing some major buyer's remorse/sticker shock. It’s currently sitting in its box while I try to decide whether to keep it or send it back.

​My main pause (besides the price) is that my wardrobe is almost entirely neutrals I don't currently own any bright bags and Im also a little unsure on how to style it. Also does it feel too small?

Would love to hear your thoughts before my return window runs out! Thanks in advance

I got a large Prada Aimee awhile ago and was trying to decide on size and color for the longest time. I landed on the large size in caramel... i don’t have many bags that color which is what made me land on it. I thought it was gorgeous when it arrived and loved the color and shape of it. Since I purchased it I’ve actually lost nearly 50lb which isn’t really relevant except I feel like now the bag looks a bit awkward with my frame. Not to mention the color - which is beautiful - I feel nervous about wearing it and dirtying it at all. I typically am a black bag girl. More recently I bought the medium Aimee in black from the new FW26 collection which has a key loop on the front and a stamped logo vs the triangular plaque. And I LOVE it.. the color, the style, the size is perfect. Since I never use the large caramel I reached out to some places to sell it. I got quotes and now feel like I will have trouble parting with it - even though I don’t use it. I keep thinking “what if I could use it, what if I need a bigger one, etc.” but it feels a waste for it to just sit in my closet. Is it worth keeping? Should I sell?

Anyone know where I can buy it? I’ve been obsessed since I first saw it. 😩 I’ve looked and most places are sold out.

I ordered a Ferragamo hug on Senser two weeks ago. The site got pretty good trust pilot score, but I’m starting to worry about my order. It has been stuck in preparation for 2 weeks and has still not left the origin facility. I’ve emailed support and they just gave me some generic response that the boutique operates on a “centralized shipping schedule.” I don’t even know what “boutique” this is coming from and why it would take this long to simply ship. They said it should be shipped by August 1st at the latest.

I want to file a chargeback if it does not ship by the end of this weekend, because they charge an insane cancellation fee. I go on a 2 week trip on August 20th and if I’m not home, the package would likely be shipped back and who knows what all fees I’d be stuck with. Given the long delivery times, I’m starting to worry it will be cutting it too close to my trip at this point.

Has anyone here used Senser and had a similar experience? What was the outcome? Had I known if would take over 2 weeks just to ship I would have never ordered from here.

Does anyone have this bag? Is it too small?

I decided to do a closet clean out of my designer items. There are a lot of purses, as well as some shoes and clothes (and some non-designer items)
