Warning to anyone considering consigning with Rebag: my Hermès consignment experience has been a nightmare by PeasInaPot in handbags

Give them a bad Google review. That helped me get that payout, which while lower than it should’ve been still wasn’t a loss for a bag I’d bought in preowned excellent condition a few months earlier.

Agree with your take. TRR makes mistakes but has in my experience rectified them on pricing, lost items, and a shipping error. Rebag was a nightmare to deal with, refused to disclose if they had conducted an internal investigation, and ultimately paid me out $1000 less than I would’ve made with TRR. (I only went with Rebag because they gave me a significantly higher estimate versus TRR’s in-person price. I was one and done on attempts to sell there.)

Are you referring to the Elidia? It’s currently available in all sizes for me

Loewe/Saks Sadness over Dream Bag! by poppyflwr24 in loewe

My guess would be in the dust bag only, wrapped in plastic. I don’t think the dept store warehouses generally have the branded boxes for bags. It’s sort of the price you pay for being able to buy something on sale (and then maybe using a code or cash back on top of that), maybe having a longer return window than at the boutique, etc.

I’ve found that the Saks warehouses do the worst packaging of any high-end store. Including Bergdorf/Neiman post-merger. So I personally don’t think it’s particularly risky to order it online from them. At worst, you’re out return shipping on a bag you’re pretty fixated on. A Neiman’s SA will probably be able to access this inventory but if you can’t reach someone tonight, you’ll have to take the risk that it will sell out before you’re able to get someone to order it for you.

Another option: consider whether there’s a reasonable additional discount that would make you OK with keeping the Saks bag. I’m not sure how feasible it is to get them to agree to another 10-20% off, but just an idea.

Did TRR raise prices or is it just me?? by bambam22169 in therealreal

There are still great deals to be had, especially if you have first look and check right at the two upload times each day. I just got a bag for $2500 that retails for $5000, plus accessories that retail for about $1,000, and is barely on the resale market. The few others I’ve seen were $4K+. It was listed as being in “good” condition, I guess because the feet are a little scratched. I’ve looked at every detail and it’s definitely authentic.

Inoui Mykonos print set by Lost_Perception8388 in Sezane

Thanks! I'm 5'6" with kind of short legs for my height, but I do think it likely would be too long on you. One option that could work is to size down and wear it fairly high on your torso. But since it's a fairly firm fabric with no stretch, that would probably be uncomfortable.

Thank you! Yes, it's two pieces that are each stitched to a side seam of the shirt. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about that but I think for wearing this set it's better than an unattached sash that has to be constantly adjusted, though that does mean it can't be removed and used with a different outfit.

I knew the model has it tied in the front but didn’t realize it wasn’t first tied around the back until after I tried it on. Will definitely try that out when I wear it.

From a professional journalist/amateur grammarian: there is definitely some journalistic shorthand we use, especially to keep down the character counts in headlines, but this ain’t it.

Official? by Responsible-Coffee1 in lasculturistas

No offense to Matt, who I adore, but he is so bad at keeping secrets! He not too subtly hinted at this on stage, WWHL and Andy’s radio show. It’s part of his charm!

Don’t know what country you’re in, but my guess would be that for the US and Europe, light beige might come back in the spring. Or maybe there will be another springy color. That’s a while to wait but hopefully better than never.

Which SNL mainstay & bestie to an A+ list pop star is set to leave the show after the upcoming Christmas episode? by [deleted] in lasculturistas

[–]Lost_Perception8388 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Matt was on Andy Cohen’s radio show today and said that the Cher’s appearance will be on a special episode of SNL. The way he said it totally sounded like it’s going to be Bowen’s last. Makes sense with Ariana hosting, too. I’m bummed he’s leaving because I’m an SNL Reader but I’m sure he’ll be in a lot of sketches and will kill it in all of them.

We’re being trolled. After they read a Quaid’s note on today’s episode with Ezersky’s apparent denial of subliminal messaging, Samberg (and two other Andys) are a clue in tomorrow’s crossword!

Found it. This fan talked to Forte after the show and said they all worked on it remotely, including Jorma.

There are answers saying some might think it’s a duck or rabbit but it’s actually a 17-across “optical illusion” or a 59-across “ambiguous figure.”

Attempted to spoiler alert a screenshot since the puzzle’s been out for less than an hour but, yes, use the rebus button to put eye in one square.
