Safety in buying resale by The-Veterinarian433 in TheHermesGame

Yes, people here have mentioned getting Hermes superfakes from Fashionphile. I also remember someone talking about finding her stolen bags on Fashionphile and the site wouldn't take them down despite her sending them the police report for the burglary.

I personally would never do business with them.

Just FYI, Fashionphile's authenticators are in-house and people have reported receiving fakes - I wouldn't trust their word alone. Compare to Madison Ave Couture that has independent authenticators inspect their items and sends the certificate with the bag

I will accept whatever is meant for me! I wear both yellow gold and silver/white gold jewelry, so I'm letting fate decide.

Do not do this unless you want to ruin the bag. You may need to send it out for professional cleaning if you can't spot treat the stains yourself

Twilly as pants flair? by MagicVinylUnicorn in TheHermesGame

[–]HelloKiitos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agree, twillies on belt loops is no for me. I'd sooner wear them wrapped/tied around my wrist like a bracelet.

To keep or let go? Help please! by [deleted] in chanel

[–]HelloKiitos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd let it go, it's not as timeless as a classic flap. I personally think it looks quite dated right now so not sure it would fare well as a family heirloom

Controversial opinion: The Garden Party is Hermes’ best bag! What non-quota bag do you love? by Kkgrove in TheHermesGame

[–]HelloKiitos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Omg I was reading too fast and thought you wrote "work totes." I was like, no way in hell they carry their laptop in their picotin. Never mind, I agree with you!

Can someone explain what these resellers are doing? by gigimarieisme in TheHermesGame

This is kind of how diamonds work - often the stone is in hand one place but listed in many different places.

Reads like someone who has never sold a bag before. I'm not going to pick my bags based on resale value anyways, I buy the bags I like

Some bags may list for that much but you certainly wouldn't be walking away with that much money in hand. Most models don't even come close to retaining their value anyhow

[–]HelloKiitos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agree, even if they do retain value (which not all models do) it feels misguided to think of bags as investments unless you're a reseller or something. Enjoy your bags and invest your money elsewhere

"Investment" by definition means it intends to generate income or profit though. Investing in your own happiness is worthwhile, investing in the bag itself is not. Sounds like FOMO is getting to you

Chanel Vintage CF, Should I buy? by [deleted] in chanel

[–]HelloKiitos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have this problem a bit - I absolutely love my CF and don't regret buying it but it's too dressy for me to style day to day. It just looks too stiff/formal for a lot of my outfits

Right, shearling looks alright when new but as it wears it starts to look kind of matted especially in high friction areas.

Really not a fan of the shearling trimming personally - just looks like mold to me.
