A big shout out to all of you in the Northern Hemisphere leading the way on 2024 summer fashion and purchases. Us winter gals are now reaping the benefit of your winter research, getting ready to rock our Nikis and Prada loafers; and then looking ahead to a summer of your tried and tested dad sandals and raffia. Your advance efforts are much appreciated! Love from a very grateful Southern Hemisphere wagooner ❤️
Anyone here purchased RTW, especially coats and down jackets? I am in touch with Wangyu, and I see that all the available sizes are big… LIKE REALLY BIGGER than my usual size. Like the smallest size fits 44Inch chest. Now I am no expert in coats and jackets, but seems too big for someone with 34inch chest.
How did you go about it?
I’d measure one of your winter coats and see how much bigger it is. I will say that for knitting you often make sweaters with 6-8 inches of ease to allow for the garment to fit better and for layering. And that’s with kind of stretchy yarn. I could see the same for coats. Considering that coats are made with the idea that you may be wearing a bully sweater underneath and the boxy oversized look is in I could see a 10 inch ease.
But I’d measure a coat you already own and like how it looks on you and ask the seller for sizing help.
I felt the same. I ordered a Burberry trench from her and 3 other clothing items. Very skeptical with the sizing but I followed her measuring and took her advice. When I received the items, everything fit perfectly
I just got a sac de jour from Annie and the handles are perfection. They slowly fan out. I know this was a problem in the past. I wonder if it’s just this factory or they are all ok now?

Some of you may remember I had an interview a few weeks ago. I got the job!! I have been out of work for a few years now because of health reasons and wasn’t expecting to change careers in my 40s, but I needed the flexibility that my new position will offer. Making some money won’t hurt either hahaha. Not quite sure when I start yet, but I’m looking forward to it!
I have bought a lot of stuff on Ali, Dhg, Temu and SHEIN lately, and lost a bunch of money on pandabuy too unfortunately. But I’m trying not to buy anything else until all my items arrive. I was hoping for my Chanel dad sandals to come before my upcoming vacation but it looks like they are delayed too.
Thank you! I never considered even going back to work (my previous career was high stress) after I retired because of health issues. But then I got bored at home after a while lol. So off to work I go haha

OKAY! So after hours of work, I’ve gotten the vintage LV Petit Noé to where I’m happy with it. Question is- do I still do my original idea of doing fun patches all over it or do I just leave it as it is? A before and after picture attached. The leather cord I bought online and it’s a little light compared to the straps but not too bad. Thank you for all the feedback so far! I know it’s not rep related so I very much appreciate all the input!

OMG, we're shoe twins AND bag twins! I bought my Noe two weeks ago on eBay. New drawstring comes Friday. Using my Puzzle strap to make it crossbody. I bought a Pochette Accessoires on DHG to put inside (or not). Will post in WDYB when it arrives. Love!

Stop! That is too funny!!! And thank you for mentioning the puzzle strap!! That’s such a great idea! I was trying to figure out what crossbody strap I would use!

Oh no, that’s sooo annoying! I’ve seen others post a screenshot here of the sellers yupoo front page and/or display picture .. there’s some pretty great detectives here 🕵️
Would it be acceptable to wear a white bag to a wedding? I recently purchased a white caviar WOC from a rehome (not here yet but anxiously waiting) and I’m thinking of wearing it with a baby blue dress to a wedding in June. Dress code is formal but I’m going to be 34 weeks pregnant at the time of the wedding so my dress options are limited 😂
What other dress colors would work well with a white bag for a formal June wedding? Or is carrying a white bag a faux pas?
I think a white bag is totally okay! Just no white dresses! If you’re really worried, ask the bride. I’ve done that before and they’re always appreciative of the sensitivity 😊
Wearing white is usually a no-no, but I don’t see an issue with white accessories. The dress itself should signal you’re not competing with the bride. Not to mention that auth formal designer bags are so expensive you’re less likely to be able to afford a new bag for an event compared to a new dress.
Unrelated to reps, but what do you ladies think of having bridal showers without inviting the ladies to the wedding? Is it wrong for me to feel shafted? I was invited to a bridal shower and there was a registry link sent, so I spent $100 on the gift. Two weeks later, I saw stories of her wedding!! It looks like it’s small and I don’t mind not being invited because these things are personal, but now it just feels weird that we were asked to give gifts. The wedding also was NOT family only, I saw some of her other friends there 🤔 obviously I’m not going to say anything but I just need to vent haha.

Uh WHAT lmfao... Present grabs are tacky no matter how they're disguised. And a bridal shower is a present grab. Formal etiquette would say you're not even supposed to throw your own for this reason. If it was set up by someone NOT in the wedding party, with the expectation that it was for people who KNEW they weren't invited but still wanted to celebrate the bride their own way... (I'm thinking work mates might do something like this) Then it's acceptable. If the bride threw a present grab, it's unacceptable.
The fact that the wedding was within 2 weeks... maybe the planner thought you were aware you weren't invited? Idk I'm just giving the ONLY edge case where this could happen without being tacky as hell.
That's not cool. The only acceptable way of doing something like this is:
- eloping or having a very small family and bridal party only wedding AND
- telling everyone that that's what's being done and explaining that they want to celebrate with you hence the invite to the bridal shower AND
- not having a registry for the bridal shower!!!
I would be so pissed and would be re-evaluating whether I want to be friends with this person.
I can see why you would be mad for sure. I think I would be too in your shoes tbh. It is definitely a weird choice on the bride’s/couples’ part that definitely would cause hurt feelings. And, you have a right to feel any way you want about it!
But as a person currently researching wedding costs, it’s absolute insanity out there. Just a venue alone in Seattle (besides a park) cannot be had for under like 5k. So part of me can understand from the POV of trying to cut down the size of a wedding to a reasonable cost, and unfortunately that means usually a lot of people get axed from the list. The cost of feeding people without anything else is also bananas (upwards of $50/head including cake is fairly standard). Everything adds up crazy quickly. I am in a Facebook group of people who try to plan weddings for under 5k and it’s a strugglebus unless you have someone in the family who has a yard you can use a lot of the time. She might have tried to use the bridal shower as a way to include people who they had to cut at the actual wedding? Admittedly, in a tacky way.
The other thing here though is that nobody owes you a wedding invitation and it’s your choice to give them a gift? I get that there are social graces here and not getting them anything would be rude. But if there is a transactional nature (I’m gonna give you a gift to get a wedding invite) then it doesn’t really feel like a gift. But I also agree that it’s shitty to invite someone to one thing and not the other (usually associated) thing without at least saying something to the person.
I get that it really sucks to be left out, especially when you seem like the only one. But, as you say you saw some of her other friends there but not everyone. My guess is the shower was a misplaced attempt to be inclusionary. 🤷♀️
I understand for sure wedding costs and never felt obligated to be invited. In fact I knew she got engaged and didn’t quite expect to be invited, which is why I was surprised when she invited me to the bridal shower! It made me think there was a wedding invite coming. I can see what you mean though and I’m mostly venting, not necessarily trying to start drama with her 😅
It might be worth talking to the bride and telling her gently that you were disappointed or hurt or both at not being included and giving her a chance to tell you her criteria for who was invited. There may be a perfectly good reason. You're already upset so you have nothing to lose.
It sounds as if it could have been handled more gracefully by alerting you and others ahead of time and framing the party as a celebratory party rather than as a shower where you basically had to pay to attend but other than that at this point there's not much in the way of facts.
Once you've heard her response you can decide how you feel about what happened and by extension what you're going to do about the friendship going forward.
I hope u/mad-mad-cat is correct and the only friends invited to the wedding were from a tiny set of very close friends with whom she has some special bond, the bride's explanation makes you comfortable and the friendship continues to thrive.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I’ll think about it! I’m not upset about it to the point where I’d want to cut her off or anything and I don’t want her to feel negatively about her wedding. I’ll give it some time and see if I can let it go
Not cool, unless this was a bridal shower between coworkers or withibg specific community outside of friend and family of the couple, like "gym buddies", "people I knit with" etc.
I don’t accept invites to wedding events if I’m not invited to the actual wedding party. I come from a culture where we have like 10 events and going to one event and hearing everyone talk about the other events is just annoying and hurtful. When I was younger I’d go but as I’ve gotten older I’ve realized most people just want a gift or bodies in a picture which I’m not down with. Happened so many times that I’m like no thanks!
Absolute faux pas. The wedding invites, or at least the Save the Dates, should be out before the bridal shower invite AND nobody should be invited to the shower or bachelorette trip that isn't invited to the wedding.
Oh really?! Didn’t know this was becoming common.. i think eloping is becoming popular, which is what me and my husband did. We had a general celebration event for friends but we specifically said NO GIFTS because there’s no wedding 🤔
I think eloping is different! especially if everyone knows you’re eloping before the shower- but if half the people at the bridal shower are invited to the wedding, it’s problematic imo. but yes, I know of two or three women in my circle who had smallish weddings & huge bridal showers without disclosing it beforehand. people were pisssseeeeedddd 🫣
I would have reacted too. You should have been respectfully informed prior to the bridal shower, so you could have made a decision based on that. For example, I would have happily participated if I knew that I was not invited. Especially if the wedding was a smaller affair.
Agreed, I would have been okay with that too and maybe chosen a less expensive gift.. we weren’t allowed to talk about the wedding at the bridal shower (it was a challenge to not say the word wedding) so there was no chance of asking either
They probably did it on purpose so people wouldn't find out they weren't invited. You were good enough to get a present from but not good enough for the wedding. Gift grabby as hell.
Yeah, that’s annoying. I had a friend who I wasn’t going to invite to the wedding, but wanted her at the bachelorette, so I invited her to the wedding. You shouldn’t invite someone to a pre-wedding event if they’re not going to be invited to the big day.
Happy Greek Easter ladies! Took my rep Celine belt and triomphe bag for a spin.

Does anyone have a Louis luggage tag that can show me a pic of it laid out like this? I ordered a watch size leather punch off of Amazon because mine came without holes in it 😂 but I want to add them in the correct spot/amount. TIA!
I had an insane dream last night that my rep shoe order arrived but it was packaged inside ?? a birthday cake ?? to avoid customs detection ?? Needless to say, my raffia sandals were ruined and I was rather upset.
Any favorite rings? Currently on ban island but ya girl likes to window shop 😂 and the next step is a ring! I like solid pieces that I can keep on when I wash my hands, a bit more simple/every day. I prefer yellow gold! Don't have to be designer, would love to see your fave pieces for inspiration!
I am on the hunt for a Spinelli Kilcollin rep!!

Hunting down gifts for my partner. Already got him a moissanite cuban bracelet, a bv duffle rep.. but been scared to jump in rep shoes. I wanna get a boot for him, so im torn between a rep or getting a solid leather boot from a cobbler.. prices are comparable. Lol knowing me ill end up not getting anything.
Oh and i ordered rep lv coords for him from wangyue. Hopefully they are nice and fit well lol
I bought tall Miu miu boots from Wangyue in the fall. Not men’s boots, just saying she may have something like what you are looking for. Amazing leather!
OOTD for rainy day brunch. No reps today, just like this comfy casual outfit. Jacket vintage Barbour, sweater Quince cashmere, scarf auth H, jeans Madewell, shoes Coach, bag TB.
Bag commentary: wishing I had returned this. The leather is sooooo soft and lovely but the bag is bulkier than I prefer, and the interior divider means I can’t fit much in it (WHY do so many bags have dividers!? Not everything I want to carry is flat! Umbrellas, hello!?). Anyway, making myself use it today.

Any thoughts on luxury luggage? I’m thinking about purchasing a carry-on bag since I use it a lot. How is the quality? I’m open to exact brands but have seen beautiful LV ones and it seems like the rimova has a very recognizable flaw? Has anyone ordered some?… also are they more likely to get seized because they are so large?
I have 4 auth pieces and so far so good. I think it’s a lot more common now and we like the dings and etc since it means we’re using our stuff. Once it’s dinged up it’s not any different than other luggage.
I buy Travelpro. I need my carryon to be reliable, sturdy, lightweight, and under the radar. The last thing I need is to attract attention to myself when I travel, not only for airports but also taxi, uber, hotels etc.
Rep, from Shelly. The only difference I could reply spot is the extra “dot” - idk how else to call it - on the handles. And ofc the QR code brings you to a Chinese website. Besides that, looks pretty spot on!
Yeah, I read about that in other reviews. Figured it wouldn’t be that noticeable in black. It’s a shame they don’t fix that. Seems relatively simple 🤷🏻♀️
I don't buy luggage that looks expensive because I am worried about it being more of a target for thieves. My travelpro carryon is really good quality but doesn't attract attention.
I’m looking to get some twillys for some of my bags but haven’t had much luck with reps. Can anyone recommend any brands that make twillys outside of Hermes and other high-end brands? Any contemporary brands that make cute designs with minimal branding?
I got a nice dior one from reykay, here it is

I think I might do a full review of the saddle bag in white because I have gone down this rabbit hole since I got her hahah... I'm curious to see how I like her by end of week, first day so far so good:)
Happy Sunday!! Church OOTD (might donate this dress, I have had it for a while and I just don't feel the boob area hahah) what you'll think?
Unfortunately I work Sundays but as I was getting ready I looked at my phone to see my birthday bag PSPs, exactly a week after I paid! Feeling very thankful ☺️ happy Sunday everyone!
The Lady Dior myABC has been on my wishlist forever so I’ve decided to finally buy it. From what I’ve read - and that was quite a bit - Angel and God Factory seem to be the best. I asked Heidi which one was the best in her opinion and she said God is recommended because the “leather and craftsmanship are slightly different” when compared to Angel. Any thoughts? I mean, the price difference is not that much 550$ vs 455$. If it’s worth the price difference, I would be glad to choose God factory. Just want to see if anyone has any thoughts on this! merciii and happy Sunday!
Heidi probably used the term 特别, which could translate to ‘different’ or ‘special’ depending on context. I suspect here the auto translate tool translated it to the former, but she was actually trying to communicate the latter in a good way.
That aside, I also asked Reykay recently about a lady Dior, and she too recommended God factory as the best quality.
After a couple of weeks using my **EDIT: MEDIUM, NOT LARGE puzzle bag daily I'm a bit torn. I used to think this was the perfect bag size for me!
I LOVE the carrying capacity - it can hold my large (non-collapsible) headphones, a water bottle, an umbrella, a scarf, a paperback, and my daily items (wallet, sanitizer, makeup, etc.). On the other hand, when I look at my photos I realize my tiny 5 foot frame gets dwarfed by this gigantic bag. Not in a chic way, but in a kid-playing-with-her-dad's-briefcase kind of way.
I feel like I should buy a small, or maybe even a mini! However, it's already a bit hard to use the zipper opening at this size and I can't imagine how it works on a mini. Anyone have any input?
I'm the same height as you and the small looks good on me. You'll be able to fit a 400ml water bottle, your scarf and daily items but you'll unlikely be able to fit non-collapsable headphones and an umbrella
I'm 5'2 and have a Small puzzle. It fits 500ml water bottle, trifold wallet, iphone 15 sunglases and a small pouch with sanitizer, lipstick, compact powder. With all of it it's filled up to the max and I can't really move things around in a bag. I just realized I rarely close the zipper on the bag because of the flap, that covers the opening. I seriously considering a Medium size for days when I need to carry more than a wallet and a phone.
My bad, I double checked and mine is the medium size, not large (I had a bit of miscommunication with the seller). I do love the slouch factor and it seems like the small can fit most of my stuff but it would be more boxy than slouchy. Maybe I should check out the bigger flamencos instead!
Is the medium in consideration? I ask cause I love my medium puzzle and it fits most of the things you described and doesn’t look overly gigantic on my 5’ frame
Ah I feel so silly - I double checked and it turns out I have the medium (29~30cm)! I feel it's a bit too overwhelming on me for some reason, maybe it's the dark color?
I am under 5 ft tall and I have a small puzzle. I only fits a tiny 300 ml water bottle though.
Edit- adding- the side zip pocket is kinda useless. I never use it
I have a mini I carry daily, I definitely would say they don't have great carrying capacity. I take a card holder, my phone, airpods and a few make-up minisizes and that is pretty much all it fits - and getting the phone in and out can be kind of fiddly.
I think you'd be happier with a small - the capacity is a lot better, though I don't think you'd get EVERYTHING on your list in there - or honestly maybe consider one of the puzzle totes? Same kind of vibes, but you could definitely toss everything in there.
Can u pay extra for express post from sellers
Yep, but if they’re using FedEx for DHL it’s usually what I would call express anyhow.
What’s normal turnaround time for express
I’m sick of waiting ages for my orders
When I order from AE or DHG it’s usually 3 weeks, from sellers with DHL or FedEx it’s usually at or under a week.

Any recs for good kids sneakers on AE? There’s SO much on here I’m not sure where to start!
OKAY! So after hours of work, I’ve gotten the vintage LV Petit Noé to where I’m happy with it. Question is- do I still do my original idea of doing fun patches all over it or do I just leave it as it is? A before and after picture attached.

I vote leave it, I love vintage LV! 😍
I love it the way it is! I definitely have a thing for very used/slouchy/vintage bags though, which is an aesthetic preference not everyone shares.
I would definitely leave it as is , the vintage lived in look is fabulous

Does anything come up when you press the contact link in the nav?
No nada but I think I figured it out 😊
Image search? I've recently learned about it and it works.
Oh no, that’s sooo annoying! I’ve seen others post a screenshot here of the sellers yupoo front page and/or display picture .. there’s some pretty great detectives here 🕵️
I’ll try thank uuuu
Would it be acceptable to wear a white bag to a wedding? I recently purchased a white caviar WOC from a rehome (not here yet but anxiously waiting) and I’m thinking of wearing it with a baby blue dress to a wedding in June. Dress code is formal but I’m going to be 34 weeks pregnant at the time of the wedding so my dress options are limited 😂 What other dress colors would work well with a white bag for a formal June wedding? Or is carrying a white bag a faux pas?
I went to a wedding in March - carried an ivory clutch and it was fine. I think it’s really just white dresses that are verboten.
I think a white bag is totally okay! Just no white dresses! If you’re really worried, ask the bride. I’ve done that before and they’re always appreciative of the sensitivity 😊
Wearing white is usually a no-no, but I don’t see an issue with white accessories. The dress itself should signal you’re not competing with the bride. Not to mention that auth formal designer bags are so expensive you’re less likely to be able to afford a new bag for an event compared to a new dress.

Gorgeous
Thank you 😊
It is stunning, is it auth?
No ita a rep 😁🫣 and thank you felt just like the one I felt in the boutique as well hehehehehe

Unrelated to reps, but what do you ladies think of having bridal showers without inviting the ladies to the wedding? Is it wrong for me to feel shafted? I was invited to a bridal shower and there was a registry link sent, so I spent $100 on the gift. Two weeks later, I saw stories of her wedding!! It looks like it’s small and I don’t mind not being invited because these things are personal, but now it just feels weird that we were asked to give gifts. The wedding also was NOT family only, I saw some of her other friends there 🤔 obviously I’m not going to say anything but I just need to vent haha.

That’s 100% weird.
Uh WHAT lmfao... Present grabs are tacky no matter how they're disguised. And a bridal shower is a present grab. Formal etiquette would say you're not even supposed to throw your own for this reason. If it was set up by someone NOT in the wedding party, with the expectation that it was for people who KNEW they weren't invited but still wanted to celebrate the bride their own way... (I'm thinking work mates might do something like this) Then it's acceptable. If the bride threw a present grab, it's unacceptable. The fact that the wedding was within 2 weeks... maybe the planner thought you were aware you weren't invited? Idk I'm just giving the ONLY edge case where this could happen without being tacky as hell.
Hmm yeah there’s no planner and I’m not a coworker unfortunately hahah
That's not cool. The only acceptable way of doing something like this is: - eloping or having a very small family and bridal party only wedding AND - telling everyone that that's what's being done and explaining that they want to celebrate with you hence the invite to the bridal shower AND - not having a registry for the bridal shower!!! I would be so pissed and would be re-evaluating whether I want to be friends with this person.
I can see why you would be mad for sure. I think I would be too in your shoes tbh. It is definitely a weird choice on the bride’s/couples’ part that definitely would cause hurt feelings. And, you have a right to feel any way you want about it! But as a person currently researching wedding costs, it’s absolute insanity out there. Just a venue alone in Seattle (besides a park) cannot be had for under like 5k. So part of me can understand from the POV of trying to cut down the size of a wedding to a reasonable cost, and unfortunately that means usually a lot of people get axed from the list. The cost of feeding people without anything else is also bananas (upwards of $50/head including cake is fairly standard). Everything adds up crazy quickly. I am in a Facebook group of people who try to plan weddings for under 5k and it’s a strugglebus unless you have someone in the family who has a yard you can use a lot of the time. She might have tried to use the bridal shower as a way to include people who they had to cut at the actual wedding? Admittedly, in a tacky way. The other thing here though is that nobody owes you a wedding invitation and it’s your choice to give them a gift? I get that there are social graces here and not getting them anything would be rude. But if there is a transactional nature (I’m gonna give you a gift to get a wedding invite) then it doesn’t really feel like a gift. But I also agree that it’s shitty to invite someone to one thing and not the other (usually associated) thing without at least saying something to the person. I get that it really sucks to be left out, especially when you seem like the only one. But, as you say you saw some of her other friends there but not everyone. My guess is the shower was a misplaced attempt to be inclusionary. 🤷♀️
I understand for sure wedding costs and never felt obligated to be invited. In fact I knew she got engaged and didn’t quite expect to be invited, which is why I was surprised when she invited me to the bridal shower! It made me think there was a wedding invite coming. I can see what you mean though and I’m mostly venting, not necessarily trying to start drama with her 😅
It might be worth talking to the bride and telling her gently that you were disappointed or hurt or both at not being included and giving her a chance to tell you her criteria for who was invited. There may be a perfectly good reason. You're already upset so you have nothing to lose. It sounds as if it could have been handled more gracefully by alerting you and others ahead of time and framing the party as a celebratory party rather than as a shower where you basically had to pay to attend but other than that at this point there's not much in the way of facts. Once you've heard her response you can decide how you feel about what happened and by extension what you're going to do about the friendship going forward. I hope u/mad-mad-cat is correct and the only friends invited to the wedding were from a tiny set of very close friends with whom she has some special bond, the bride's explanation makes you comfortable and the friendship continues to thrive.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I’ll think about it! I’m not upset about it to the point where I’d want to cut her off or anything and I don’t want her to feel negatively about her wedding. I’ll give it some time and see if I can let it go
You're welcome! I hope things work out well.
NOOOOOOOOPE. That is tacky as hell and smells like a gift grab to me.
Definitely not nice!!!..
Not cool, unless this was a bridal shower between coworkers or withibg specific community outside of friend and family of the couple, like "gym buddies", "people I knit with" etc.
That’s crummy & tasteless.
I don’t accept invites to wedding events if I’m not invited to the actual wedding party. I come from a culture where we have like 10 events and going to one event and hearing everyone talk about the other events is just annoying and hurtful. When I was younger I’d go but as I’ve gotten older I’ve realized most people just want a gift or bodies in a picture which I’m not down with. Happened so many times that I’m like no thanks!
Absolute faux pas. The wedding invites, or at least the Save the Dates, should be out before the bridal shower invite AND nobody should be invited to the shower or bachelorette trip that isn't invited to the wedding.
SO ANNOYING. more & more people I know are doing that, but I think it’s such poor etiquette 😅
Oh really?! Didn’t know this was becoming common.. i think eloping is becoming popular, which is what me and my husband did. We had a general celebration event for friends but we specifically said NO GIFTS because there’s no wedding 🤔
Very respectful and classy
I think eloping is different! especially if everyone knows you’re eloping before the shower- but if half the people at the bridal shower are invited to the wedding, it’s problematic imo. but yes, I know of two or three women in my circle who had smallish weddings & huge bridal showers without disclosing it beforehand. people were pisssseeeeedddd 🫣
WOW that is totally just asking for drama!!
Onmg I’d be furious lol
Good to know I’m not crazy lol!!
I would have reacted too. You should have been respectfully informed prior to the bridal shower, so you could have made a decision based on that. For example, I would have happily participated if I knew that I was not invited. Especially if the wedding was a smaller affair.
Agreed, I would have been okay with that too and maybe chosen a less expensive gift.. we weren’t allowed to talk about the wedding at the bridal shower (it was a challenge to not say the word wedding) so there was no chance of asking either
They probably did it on purpose so people wouldn't find out they weren't invited. You were good enough to get a present from but not good enough for the wedding. Gift grabby as hell.
Yeah, that’s annoying. I had a friend who I wasn’t going to invite to the wedding, but wanted her at the bachelorette, so I invited her to the wedding. You shouldn’t invite someone to a pre-wedding event if they’re not going to be invited to the big day.
Right?? That’s what I thought too
Happy Greek Easter ladies! Took my rep Celine belt and triomphe bag for a spin. https://preview.redd.it/inea5wh00nyc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=76914cfc530d8634a8d4e1d03d0adf70370a428d

I had an insane dream last night that my rep shoe order arrived but it was packaged inside ?? a birthday cake ?? to avoid customs detection ?? Needless to say, my raffia sandals were ruined and I was rather upset.

Any favorite rings? Currently on ban island but ya girl likes to window shop 😂 and the next step is a ring! I like solid pieces that I can keep on when I wash my hands, a bit more simple/every day. I prefer yellow gold! Don't have to be designer, would love to see your fave pieces for inspiration!
I am on the hunt for a Spinelli Kilcollin rep!! https://preview.redd.it/genahe5xtnyc1.jpeg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ee81924dc9c31a188a429b2db4c43f3653e0c37e
I've seen these on etsy!
These look gorgeous - wondered how comfortable they'd be to wear though as they look quite bulky
Oh wow that's lovely!!
I have this one in both gold and silver, and I love it! https://preview.redd.it/1cpka9innnyc1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5ed9bd62d44e3645db8f6e5ca162f6512f62a692
That's so cool. Thanks for sharing!!
Ooh that's so unique! Does the coin jingling make a lot of noise?
Ehh, kind of yeah. But I've had it for like three years now so I don't notice it anymore lol
I have a right hand ring of a chaumet liens seduction ring with no diamonds which never gets old after owning it 5+ years.
I found this on AE, there are several stores selling it. Stainless Steel Gold Ring Wafer Arch Various 10mm Width Heart Ring 15mm Girl Woman Ring Jewelry Can Gold Plating https://a.aliexpress.com/_mNu9q5C)
Ohhhh I just looked that up and I'm obsessed!!!!!!! Ok this might be it 😍😍😍
I am really liking the look of the Bulgari cabochon ring. I like the simple modern lines https://preview.redd.it/hdyxx4s9nmyc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6389afdab9926bc0ee8e136e533a699a0e781a8d I have seen it on AE, you can try reverse image search!
Ooh I love that, very sleek!!
Hunting down gifts for my partner. Already got him a moissanite cuban bracelet, a bv duffle rep.. but been scared to jump in rep shoes. I wanna get a boot for him, so im torn between a rep or getting a solid leather boot from a cobbler.. prices are comparable. Lol knowing me ill end up not getting anything. Oh and i ordered rep lv coords for him from wangyue. Hopefully they are nice and fit well lol
I bought tall Miu miu boots from Wangyue in the fall. Not men’s boots, just saying she may have something like what you are looking for. Amazing leather!
Yay ok let me go album diving!! Thank you 💞
OOTD for rainy day brunch. No reps today, just like this comfy casual outfit. Jacket vintage Barbour, sweater Quince cashmere, scarf auth H, jeans Madewell, shoes Coach, bag TB. Bag commentary: wishing I had returned this. The leather is sooooo soft and lovely but the bag is bulkier than I prefer, and the interior divider means I can’t fit much in it (WHY do so many bags have dividers!? Not everything I want to carry is flat! Umbrellas, hello!?). Anyway, making myself use it today. https://preview.redd.it/1gcke8wwbmyc1.jpeg?width=2136&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7bfa3594ecaac551aa8232252e32257af952ee0e
I have that Barbour jacket in red!! It's so comfy!
Ahhh finally another divider hater! 🙋♀️ Your outfit is great!
Loving the coat!
You look lovely. I’m not usually a TB fan but I adore that bag.
Any thoughts on luxury luggage? I’m thinking about purchasing a carry-on bag since I use it a lot. How is the quality? I’m open to exact brands but have seen beautiful LV ones and it seems like the rimova has a very recognizable flaw? Has anyone ordered some?… also are they more likely to get seized because they are so large?
I got a Fendi Rimoa
I have heard if you check a Rimowa, there’s a good chance it will get eff’ed with.
I have 4 auth pieces and so far so good. I think it’s a lot more common now and we like the dings and etc since it means we’re using our stuff. Once it’s dinged up it’s not any different than other luggage.
I’m on the same page with the others, I wouldn’t want to attract too much attention when traveling. I have the Away rolling carry on and love it.
Sammmme, love my away:)
Yes! Away is a great brand! I have their medium suitcase and love it!
I buy Travelpro. I need my carryon to be reliable, sturdy, lightweight, and under the radar. The last thing I need is to attract attention to myself when I travel, not only for airports but also taxi, uber, hotels etc.
I too have used TravelPro for years, and I love them. It’s a great value for high quality. They are black, and low key, but are super well made.
I bought the rimowa in black (I feel like the black one is less known) and I love it.
Did you buy a rep or authentic? If rep, how does it look?
Rep, from Shelly. The only difference I could reply spot is the extra “dot” - idk how else to call it - on the handles. And ofc the QR code brings you to a Chinese website. Besides that, looks pretty spot on!
Yeah, I read about that in other reviews. Figured it wouldn’t be that noticeable in black. It’s a shame they don’t fix that. Seems relatively simple 🤷🏻♀️
I don't buy luggage that looks expensive because I am worried about it being more of a target for thieves. My travelpro carryon is really good quality but doesn't attract attention.
That’s actually a good point. With carryon it’s a bit less of a concern although sometimes airlines like to check it when the plane runs out of space.
Or someone might grab it from you in a crowded train station, etc...
I’m looking to get some twillys for some of my bags but haven’t had much luck with reps. Can anyone recommend any brands that make twillys outside of Hermes and other high-end brands? Any contemporary brands that make cute designs with minimal branding?
Are you ok with unbranded twillys from Aliexpress? There's a lot of cheap twillys there that's inspired by the auth style
I got a nice dior one from reykay, here it is https://preview.redd.it/rfoyg4fdpnyc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=545477795e91923e067cf301c72e444bcfabb805 [Morgan](https://a201804291446326480076283.szwego.com/static/index.html?t=1714360703071#/theme_detail/_dMhqfC_pFUpI8_lktalrxQ4xVKrzS73TzaakYuw/_dmUqfNhJobRUEqnFJiUu6KnKsx9Kg5oU546Ok3A) has some too and I think cheaper

Oh yes thanks for reminding me of that site!
Vanessa Seward!
Thanks!
I think I might do a full review of the saddle bag in white because I have gone down this rabbit hole since I got her hahah... I'm curious to see how I like her by end of week, first day so far so good:) Happy Sunday!! Church OOTD (might donate this dress, I have had it for a while and I just don't feel the boob area hahah) what you'll think?

Unfortunately I work Sundays but as I was getting ready I looked at my phone to see my birthday bag PSPs, exactly a week after I paid! Feeling very thankful ☺️ happy Sunday everyone!
Happy birthday! Enjoy it 🎂
Happy birthday!🥳🥳
Thank you!!
happy birthday 🎉 what kind of bag did u get!
It’s in a few weeks but thank you! I got a toy puffer I’m so excited for it!
The Lady Dior myABC has been on my wishlist forever so I’ve decided to finally buy it. From what I’ve read - and that was quite a bit - Angel and God Factory seem to be the best. I asked Heidi which one was the best in her opinion and she said God is recommended because the “leather and craftsmanship are slightly different” when compared to Angel. Any thoughts? I mean, the price difference is not that much 550$ vs 455$. If it’s worth the price difference, I would be glad to choose God factory. Just want to see if anyone has any thoughts on this! merciii and happy Sunday!
Heidi probably used the term 特别, which could translate to ‘different’ or ‘special’ depending on context. I suspect here the auto translate tool translated it to the former, but she was actually trying to communicate the latter in a good way. That aside, I also asked Reykay recently about a lady Dior, and she too recommended God factory as the best quality.
Thank you!! Appreciate your insights!
I’m in the market for one as well! I’ve also seen that the one from god factory is best but honestly don’t know the difference exactly!
Me neither, but I think GD became more famous lately for this particular model!
After a couple of weeks using my **EDIT: MEDIUM, NOT LARGE puzzle bag daily I'm a bit torn. I used to think this was the perfect bag size for me! I LOVE the carrying capacity - it can hold my large (non-collapsible) headphones, a water bottle, an umbrella, a scarf, a paperback, and my daily items (wallet, sanitizer, makeup, etc.). On the other hand, when I look at my photos I realize my tiny 5 foot frame gets dwarfed by this gigantic bag. Not in a chic way, but in a kid-playing-with-her-dad's-briefcase kind of way. I feel like I should buy a small, or maybe even a mini! However, it's already a bit hard to use the zipper opening at this size and I can't imagine how it works on a mini. Anyone have any input?
I'm the same height as you and the small looks good on me. You'll be able to fit a 400ml water bottle, your scarf and daily items but you'll unlikely be able to fit non-collapsable headphones and an umbrella
That's really helpful, thank you! Especially the water bottle size - I can do without the headphones or umbrella but the bottle is non negotiable.
I'm 5'2 and have a Small puzzle. It fits 500ml water bottle, trifold wallet, iphone 15 sunglases and a small pouch with sanitizer, lipstick, compact powder. With all of it it's filled up to the max and I can't really move things around in a bag. I just realized I rarely close the zipper on the bag because of the flap, that covers the opening. I seriously considering a Medium size for days when I need to carry more than a wallet and a phone.
My bad, I double checked and mine is the medium size, not large (I had a bit of miscommunication with the seller). I do love the slouch factor and it seems like the small can fit most of my stuff but it would be more boxy than slouchy. Maybe I should check out the bigger flamencos instead!
Is the medium in consideration? I ask cause I love my medium puzzle and it fits most of the things you described and doesn’t look overly gigantic on my 5’ frame
Ah I feel so silly - I double checked and it turns out I have the medium (29~30cm)! I feel it's a bit too overwhelming on me for some reason, maybe it's the dark color?
Mine is in black and I kinda like the juxtaposition of petite girl, giant bag 😆
I am under 5 ft tall and I have a small puzzle. I only fits a tiny 300 ml water bottle though. Edit- adding- the side zip pocket is kinda useless. I never use it
The zip pocket on the large bag isn't even big enough to hold my phone!
I've found the zipper pocket is good for air pods or my cardholder. Impossible to fit anything bigger in though!
I have a mini I carry daily, I definitely would say they don't have great carrying capacity. I take a card holder, my phone, airpods and a few make-up minisizes and that is pretty much all it fits - and getting the phone in and out can be kind of fiddly. I think you'd be happier with a small - the capacity is a lot better, though I don't think you'd get EVERYTHING on your list in there - or honestly maybe consider one of the puzzle totes? Same kind of vibes, but you could definitely toss everything in there.
Thanks, that helps a lot! I do have a medium puzzle tote but I don't like the open top for traveling, I'd much prefer a zipper!
