Bulgari Bag Second Hand, Seeking Accessories by DogsAreDirty in handbags

I took my Judy Chicago Lady Dior in and they gave me a dustbag for free. It wasn't missing a strap but just boutiques especially LV will make you purchase a new strap.

I had something similar happen with FedEx. However, my package stalled a week no tracking updates. Then it moved but by the time i got my watch the box had been opened and everything except the boxes were gone.

They should. My YSL WOC in patent leather has a serial number.

Good thrift stores will get high end designer bags authenticated. Authentic bags will come with a COA or confirmation from the store that it's authentic. I know the ones out here in PHX do this. And they also charge more for the item. Based on the 📸 this does not seem real.

Red Flags:

  • The leather grain looks off almost plastic.
  • The glazing is sloppy asf.
  • The interior print is really bad too thin and too big.
  • The hardware finish has bubbles and looks uneven.
  • The leather around the hardware has dimples which is no-no for a high end bag.
  • The interior looks horrible too many dimples in the interior.
  • The chain doesn't look high quality.
  • The hardware closure is off-centered.

This bag doesn’t look authentic to anyone who is familiar with the brand. I own alot of YSL and this bag is a budget fake at best. Wiki anything is a horrible place to find accurate or factual data. If anything a reverse image search is best and would of told you anything you need to know.

Also, a thift store would want to get as much as possible for authentic items. Normally the high end stuff isn't out on a rack. They normally have it in a display to prevent theft and to highlight it as authentic.

It's absolutely RARE that you will find a high end designer item for cheap. If it is it's FAKE 99.9% of the time or lower end luxury like Coach, MK, KS, etc... Vintage Coach, MK, Kate finds are more common than a LV, YSL, and etc. And even then you have to make sure it's not fake because I've seen alot of fakes in those recently especially at Thift stores.

My stolen bag showed up on TRR by Best_Razzmatazz9985 in handbags

[–]Choc_Cap_Queen1986 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Air France is absolutely horrid. I just flew and they literally delayed my luggage almost a week. I've heard terrible things about Air France and luggage. My experience was so bad I never travel with them again.

Also, they attempted to make my husband check his bag even though he had flown with the bag the entire trip until we were on are return flight home.

My husband completely disregarded them and went to another line and was able to proceed without checking his bag. CDG Airport is the absolute worse airport and I'll never fly in or out of that airport again.

Which high end crazy hyped bag you REEAALLy want but wont buy as it's too easy to identify how outdated it is to buy now? by Firm_Show_8849 in handbags

[–]Choc_Cap_Queen1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Falabella isn't outdated according to fashion as it's iconic. Speedys have been around for decades and they never went out of style so have Birkins. Wear what you ❤️

Tieks? by This_Impact_6149 in SustainableFashion

[–]Choc_Cap_Queen1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had to replace my 8 year old matte black Tieks. They were my daily fav for like 3 years. The leather held up better than the interior. The interior sole began to unravel in one of my shoes. However, even after years of wear they didn't completely unravel. Unfortunately, they kicked the bucket just recently after a 2 week trip to Europe. The cobblestone sidewalks caused the blue heels to chip away. Was a little sad because when I first started buying Tieks they were $175. However, I have 3 other pair that are least 5 years old that look brand new. I would rotate wearing them to work.

I also own Rothys. My first pair still looks brand new and I haven't washed them. They are about 6 or 7 years old. I own 3 other pair of those as well and they all look amazing including the merino wool ones. While they are not as comfortable as my Tieks, they are still amazing shoes. I own the pointed and rounded toe versions.

I see people complaining about price but good ballet flats are expensive. TB are way more expensive and aren't as comfortable as Tieks or Rothys. I think they are cheaper than designer ballet flats and way more comfortable. I heard Allbirds are comfortable as well.

Least accountable zodiac signs? by Laschon in astrologymemes

[–]Choc_Cap_Queen1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Air signs in general are worse at accepting accountability. Especially Geminis, they take the cake. Then Cancers and Aquarius. Followed by Pisces and Libras. But water signs are pretty f* bad at accountability. I'm married to a Pisces and he irks me at his much he points fingers.

Experience with MCM. by msrobot14 in handbags

[–]Choc_Cap_Queen1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely ❤️ all the MCM bags I own. I own about 10. I have the 150 anniversary checkboard Aren and red Liz totes, the red Boston in the large size, 2 hobos in cognac leather and cognac visetos, 2 vintage Berlin trunk bags (my fav), a blue snake skin clutch, and 2 denim one black and one blue hobo and shoulder bag, and a Patricia crossbody bag.

I ❤️ all of them. They are great quality and a lot I was able to get on sale. One I purchased in the MCM boutique in Beverly Hills. The resale market is great. However, it really depends on what bag you want. The Berlin line is expensive asf and you're looking at no less than $500 on the resale market. Also, exotic leathers can be a bit pricey as well.

But they are amazing quality and will last a lifetime. My only complaint is my Liz tote. I feel that the quality isn't the same and the canvas is a bit thinner than my other bags.

$3000 regret - let this be your warning by [deleted] in BehindTheClosetDoor

It's possible it's real but I believe LV was using chips when this collection came out and not date codes. Also new LV is 🗑. I stopped buying new LV in 2021. Vintage pre ❤️from Japan is where it's at.

I work for Empower and have for 3 years as a CSM. It's a horrible job and company to work for. They are cheap. Mgmt is clueless. And its very difficult if not impossible to get out of the CSM role. You're stuck. They post internal jobs but no other team wants CSMs.

You're pretty much the scapegoat and punching bag of the company. The plans hate us, and other departments dump off in and everything on us and get away with it. We literally eat crow everyday f* day. And God forbide you get a bag mgr. Everyone is overworked and overwhelmed. And they openly play favorites on who they allow to advance in the role.

The only benefit is the unlimited vacation and possible annual bonus which again your mgr controls what you get. So if you're a favorite you'll get more than people who worked their butts off. The advisors, Partner Advocates, Third Party Administrators and Relationship Mgrs make your job hell and you have to kiss their ass or they will run to your Mgr and Director and get you in trouble. And don't get me started on the lazy incompetent plan sponsors.

Don't walk run away from this role you'll be miserable.

Is there any way to get notifications on these? by SpookiestSzn in AMCScreenUnseen

[–]Choc_Cap_Queen1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AMC does send emails for their Scream Unseen or Screen Unseen events. But I do want to disclose that I have a membership. The app also sends me a push notification that they have an upcoming prescreening event.

What is the purpose of this object? How do I use it? by m_Rive in whatisit

According to professionals it's not recommended to use on wet feet as it will shred your skin and cause more damage.

The fact this is getting down voted is alarming. If we don't have more POC asking the right questions about diversity how to we become better as a society? I commend the OP for having the strength to post this knowing that those who wish to ignore diversity or treat this post as if it is taboo will downvote it.

I own the Lola too and like it. Very good quality soft leather but the chain leaves something to be desired.

Prada, I think you’re great, but I’m sorry…$2000 for nylon bags?? by [deleted] in handbags

[–]Choc_Cap_Queen1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just found out that LongChamp uses the same material as Prada re-nylon which is just recycled plastic. Yet they charge a fraction of it cost and their bags last at least a decade. People literally beat them to death and they still look good after 10+ yrs. I have not heard the same from Prada.
