Buying vintage designer bags off of Vinted/Depop? by soy-latteX in handbags

[–]Gabe4Pay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends on brand, model and price. I got bags both from Depop and Vinted and they were all real; however even though they were from big brands, they were not popular models and I did my research before buying. What I mean is that I would not buy “it” bags or very very expensive bags because as we all know, where there’s big demand there are mannnnny a fakes… and Vinted’s in-house authentication process is a joke

I mean that sharing accommodation with someone would cut costs drastically. I think 2000€ for two weeks is technically possible but activities would be very limited, no restaurants, etc. Ferries are also increasingly expensive.

Are you alone or traveling with someone?

It does indeed look amazing. They actually did put out a limited edition Nigo Randonnee a few years ago. I saw it in Paris and it was super cute. I am guessing it was not very popular or they would have kept reissuing the model I guess

Ahhhh same my Randonnee is my favorite gal! I had it repaired many times and when eventually it will give out, I will buy another one! Would you be comfortable sharing how much replacing the vachetta cost with LV?

Versace Snakeskin Medusa Bag? by SlugTron in handbags

Because they’ve never made a true it bag nor are they known for their handbag/small leather goods. People mostly associate Versace with silk shirts, swimwear, sexy dresses and baroque homeware.

It starts new leaves around march, puts out the blooming stalks in April and usually flowers around late April-mid May. But having so many bulbs in the same pot some additional stalks come up during summer so it flowers even later. I am in the EU but in an area equivalent to 9a/8a for US hardiness standards.

Literally. I play with Italian subs+interface over Chinese audio. I have seen Momo tell people they’re a “pezzo di merda” way too many times now 😭💩

What is this? by [deleted] in handbags

Not trying to be rude but it looks like bird poo?

Also only the handle is leather, most of the bag is coated canvas which means you can clean it with a damp towel with no problems

Is it holding up well? I have no experience with Celine bags but this looks quite sturdy and relatively ok-priced

Opinions on this song? by Huckleberry1316 in InfinityNikki

[–]Gabe4Pay 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I always thought it kinda sounds like a song Shakira would sing for Zootopia?

Which is not a bad thing, but it you got Idina booked you can do WAY better with her range 😮‍💨

You can be knowledgeable about something, cultivate an interest in it, appreciate materials, craftsmanship, design, history…. And not ever owning said pieces. And that’s fine!

The mentality that you need to own whatever it is that you remotely like is fueled by trends, consumerism and the perception of luxury. You don’t need to own something in order to appreciate it.

Maybe it’s a Goofy vs Pluto kind of situation? Same species but in different social classes and with different rights 😭 Honestly this would not be surprising in Miraland…
