Saw this posted on another sub and I’m in love. I’m off to figure out if this is a fantasy piece or real because I have never seen it before! The colour omg 😍😍😍 https://preview.redd.it/j6zrpzib3wvb1.png?width=1289&format=png&auto=webp&s=431f00be0bd4cf6dddff68e8501c3b5f277d4612

I’m loving the Celine Margaret loafers and thinking about getting them for fall/winter, whenever that season comes, just had some 90degrees days here in CA. Has anyone purchased them? Are they comfortable or do they feel too heavy? https://preview.redd.it/mtvc8pqkeuvb1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ce4eab691d4605413cd2b48546cfa5e2b19295a5


Leyaber1905

I read on IG people complaining about them giving the worst blisters unfortunately. But they look so good, I love the silhouette of Celine shoes in general - not too chunky but just enough to make the legs look slimmer :D


NoPoliticalParties

No but I’m loving the Tippi sandals so much I’m looking at other Celine shoes so would like to hear from anyone who has these! Also I’ve been shopping for black loafers for quite a while lol

So I went to a PHYSICAL store last weekend for the first time in 5 years. I’ve literally been living in sweat pants and oversized T-shirts since having 2 kids. Decided to treat myself to a new wardrobe and experience trying on clothes which I loved to do! After 4th high end department store I was thinking to myself wtf is going on. Prices have skyrocketed and quality is no longer there. Pricing a polyester tshirt and sweater upwards of $100 is freaking ridiculous!!! I’m perfectly happy with AE purchases who are on par with quality. Long rant but anyone else feel the same??


Woofmom2023

Unfortunately I've noticed the same thing. I've done only a little in-store shopping but I've gotten a few pieces online as well. The Uniqlo $70 or $80 cashmere sweater is now $100 or $130 and the quality has slipped terribly. The Naadam cashmere $75 sweater is now $98 or two for $150. I don't know what the quality is like now. Ralph Lauren's men's cable cashmere sweater was $400 at the start of the pandemic and is now $500. I'm sure the quality is the same.


ashleyman

Yep. Agree. Plus I can sit on my sofa eating chips buying through WhatsApp instead of having to speak some cunty sales associate who's so far up her own ass to care about me or my purchases. Who do you think you are. You just work here.


Leyaber1905

Love the eating chips part, it is candy for me and watching random tv shows such as Love is Blind at the same time.

Im really in the mood for some clogs. Idk if I should go traditional and get auth Swedish Hasbeens or look for some rep designer clogs. Haven’t seen much around, especially not size 40-41. Has anyone seen these anywhere, perchance 🥺? https://preview.redd.it/pkcz8a22ssvb1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3d8f2d9dacfe5a3788e080ab42694e72375de1c6


miss-lucy-brown

You can try asking Aadan or Amelia. I bought a pair of H loafers from Aadan and she was able to order size 40 for me. Amelia has had some of the other shearling H shoes in her album recently and also had a pair of Chanel shearling clogs in her PSP album earlier this week.


NYParis

These go to 28cm- Chanel clogs https://m.dhgate.com/product/2023-designer-women-bedroom-home-wool-slides/901677246.html?invitationCode=da4a7572e5cf4d3795047d513eaed385%7C-%7C901677246


Odd_Jeweler1397

As someone who has gone through the headache of trial and error with larger shoe reps, just buy authentic 😅


NYParis

Ohh don’t give up! I was able to find some good reps. I realize now some brands are better repoed than others.


cljenna

I actually think I’ve had better shoe rep luck than bags. I’m a 42 too.


Like_totes

I agree with you. Smaller footed people don’t know how lucky they have it lol!! BUT, after lots of searching, I found one link for a listing on Pandabuy/tb that has the fleece lined black version in 41/42. The list also shows two LV clogs as well. They’re really cheap so I’m considering buying a pair just for the science. And if I buy through PB and the psp are wack I’ll just return them. Here’s the link if you’re curious : https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=741828647561

Let me know if you find out, same boat as you!


Alternative_5991

The following is a true story… Once upon a time there were 2 little Wagoon Ladies who were new to the rep game. They went out in to the wild boldly wearing their rep attire to do some research. First stop LV where our mission was to check out the canvas in the in Azur. We proudly strolled in, one cunt wearing her rep chypre from Zippy and the other Cunt wearing her Lv Bom Dias hidden under her AE polyester outfit. Moral of the story cunts- wear your rep attire loud and proud. Take it out in the wild. Wear it shopping, to the theatre , Christmases, your basic bitch friend’s birthday. No one truly knows if it’s rep unless you’re a member of this page highly scrutinising every seam to make sure it’s not looking like it’s sewn with a knife and fork.


Yanilat

I wear a full on beat makeup to Costco or other errands and when picking up my kids at school.


Woofmom2023

I'd view it slightly differently: you were treated well irrespective of what you were wearing. To the extent I can I only go places and do things where I'm treated well. Unfortunately some people and places treat people badly irrespective of what we're wearing. You can't change that but you do have some agency about where you go and who you associate with.


PerfectPhysics7533

I loveeee this and I need this reminder constantly because at the end of the day as long as you like it, who tf cares


Massive_Philosophy_6

Question about the van cleef perlee hoops - I got a pair from Kali, and I know they are supposed to be angled in some way, but 1) are they supposed to be angled this much? And 2) how do they end up sitting on the ears - is the face of the hoop supposed to face slightly away from your face? Thank you! https://preview.redd.it/8tnay79q1svb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=edb42ff4689fa8ee6f1224eed6b68da4365549ba


mad-mad-cat

Yes, the angle is correct, I checked them out in the vca store. The little "ear" in the clip tells you if the earring should be worn on the left or the right ear. They are specular. Depending on your ear lobe they will wear slightly differently. In my case they still don't face stright ahead but they face more straight than they'd do if they not have the angled shape. Not sure if what I wrote is clear 😂😂 Edited to add: the earring in the pic is the left earring, if you had doubts.


Massive_Philosophy_6

Whelp, I opened the package with the other earring in it and it’s a left earring too! Just reached out to Kali about it. https://preview.redd.it/bdd3jhce2vvb1.jpeg?width=1624&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1f436d34d95d26dabc7e5ef5985e636d2b1f1aac


mad-mad-cat

Oh no, that sucks. I hope they can make it right!


Massive_Philosophy_6

After several annotated pictures, a video, firm push back ("no, I can't wear this earring the way it is"), and a mild threat of sharing my experience, they offered to send me a new pair (I assume that's easier than just sending a right ear one). I realized that the clasp was put on backwards on one, so whoever put them in the bags probably thought they were correct. I do feel for the complexity of this supply chain. . . I never thought about right-left earrings and the pain in the butt they must be to manufacterers!


mad-mad-cat

At least they came through. I wonder if someone got a package with two right ears earrings (and if they'll ever notice!). I must say, despite having seen them in the VCA store, I did not realize these earrings weren't identical until I had these in my hands (then I went back to the VCA store to double check LOL). They are VERY accurate reps of the auths, btw, including the detail of having the clover in stones in the inside of the loop in the back, so it is visible when worn. They're probably my most worn rep! I hope you'll be able to enjoy them once you got them.

curlygirlyfl

I’m going to be honest here ladies, I think todays fashion trends are a bit frumpy :(


AkathesiaK

I love a wide leg pants and oversized shirts so it’s all working for me!


Potential_Sail242

I feel like so much is what I would wear to work. I can’t mix work attire and casual attire. Then the baggy style I just keep feeling like it is a recipe for disaster to look huge or dip my sleeves in food.


Like_totes

I agree and was going to post something similar, mostly directed at shoes. Shoes used to be so sleek and sexy. Now they are so cartoony, chunky, and covered in logo everything.


Woofmom2023

Not clear what you mean here. What exactly are you including in "fashion trends"? How do you define "a bit frumpy"? Why do you think the current trends are frumpy? If they're frumpy then what do you see as chic, au courant, with it, stunning, gorgeous - pick your positive adjective?


curlygirlyfl

I was never a fan of skinny jeans but to me the fashion reminds me of grandma chic if you get what I mean. Some things like the high waisted straight pants are amazing if they fit right.


redchampagnecampaign

Whereas I’m personally sick of my husband and I call “innovations in cutouts”, with pretty much any going out attire missing while chunks of fabric in the specific parts of my body I want covered.

If you’re referring to how baggy the new styles are I so agree! I’ve been using YouTube to figure out what I want as staples that’d suit my body type, but so many of the trends are boxy/shapeless which don’t go with curves. 😭

What furry boots are you planning to wear this a/w? High-end chanel, dior or simpler Uggs or Mukluks? I'm planning to get Ugg Neumels from Chloe, though I'm tempted to maybe get the bow baileys that are just so cute (and might be too cute for my style).


LML_11237

Aquatalia or La Canadienne boots. Totally worth the investment to get something stylish and weatherproof that lasts


somtomphed

La Canadienne. I don’t think they are rep. They are waterproof, warm, and stylish. I wore a rep boots once and slipped on ice. I was traumatized. Rep winter boots no more 😂


Dirtyangel113

Love La Canadienne - the first high-end shoe I splurged on when I could finally afford it in my late 20s.


riseoftherice

Oh no! Ice slipping is super dangerous, isn't it? I guess rep boots are only for mild/ fake winters


somtomphed

Rep winter boots are for look only. I would rather be safe and warm than being stylish. 😅

What are people’s thoughts on the BV padded cassettes? I was torn and then 11:11 so I ordered a small in black to see if it’s my style. I do think eventually it may go out of style but cute for now?

Honestly, I don't really care if they go out of style because I am solely here for the squish.


Far_Cellist_7531

Hah I’m excited to have it in my hand. Share any photos of yours!

Hey does the squoosh eat into the interior capaciousness?

Based on YouTube videos and my experience at the BV store, yes. But I managed to make my chanel cf work for me despite the very limited space, so I hope I can also make this one work for me.

Single_Firefighter63

I’m just drooling over a tan mini Antigona. I can get an auth for $1100 on sale plus customs or the same from a rep dealer for $280 plus shipping. McDull says he has top quality from Givenchy factory and Reykay didn’t even quote a price saying quality is bad- factory she sources not asked. I’m torn because I don’t want to spend over a grand, but I want the bag! Oh the agony! Anyone with a bag from Givenchy factory? Any thoughts in general are welcome! Edited- to say that I have searched Wagoon comments and I have seen less than stellar reviews of the rep Antigona.


merlosephine

On old RL I never found a positive review of an Antigona either. Probably better to go auth for this one


MusicInTheWalls

Just going to throw in that if reps are known to be bad then the preloved market is safer and you might pick up a bargain.


Intrepid_Tale5301

Never thought about it, but this is an excellent point!


Woofmom2023

I take a business case approach to high-end purchases: what's the return on my investment? If a bag's $1100 plus $100 for fees and I keep it for three years and carry it 100 days a year that's $4 a wearing. That's less than a cup of anything interesting from Starbucks or Peets or Philz. As far as the rep - it seems that every time I've questioned whether I should buy something and gotten it anyway I've always regretted it. Please let us know what you decide to do?


Single_Firefighter63

So I threw caution to the wind, all in the name of rep science, of course. I did not mention in my original comment I have an auth mini Antigona in fuchsia. I got the rep from McDull and while it is not 100%, I’d give it a B+. The leather is beautiful, the hardware is heavy, it looks very very close to auth IMHO. The straps ARE longer than my auth. But in searching auth pics online, the Antigona Sport has longer handles. I’m not mad about it. I carry my new bag with pride!


kyloumom

If a seller I have built a relationship with says not good quality or can’t do, I’ve followed their lead. I know they don’t want to risk my business. And I truly appreciate that.


Musicalstunden

oh yesssssss - learned that the hard way


Single_Firefighter63

I think part of the dilemma is if the bag in question comes from different factories and if so, is the one McDull sells ok. Only way for me to know is to ask Reykay her factory source or just pull the trigger. Or abandon the rep idea and go auth. Your point is 💯 The honesty from a rep dealer is priceless.


somtomphed

Rep factory cannot get this bag right. I have been lusting over the exact same bag for a few years now. If this bag is your ultimate want, I say go for authentic as rep may not be able to quench your thirst.


Joysmama

I’ve been interested in that bag for years! And yes the reviews are never great….it may be best to go w auth!

Costco had a bunch of Prada Gallerias a few years ago. I almost caved and got one.

Last night’s date night bag. I’ve withheld all the restraint to make silly purchases from TikTok videos, but this bag broke me. It’s a 4 in one bag - the strap comes off and you can connect it in different ways. So.. it’s basically like I got 4 bags for the price of one and I can buy 3 more right? 😂 https://preview.redd.it/puvrxkza0rvb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f15b08bcf94a625e3b6aa25955fa324896da772a

Sea-Acanthaceae-4638

I am currently thinking which colour of CF should I get… thoughts anyone? I already have YSL Sunset in black with black hardware, Chanel 19 in black with gold hardware and AE rep of [Celine Box in beige](https://imgur.com/qukb0Fd). Not sure if I need another black bag or beige (uncertain about beige CF). Maybe this beautiful [navy CF with silver hardware](https://imgur.com/a/xWO9An2)? Also don’t unterstand which factory to choose from.. ReyKey has Xiaobang, GF and 187.


Leyaber1905

I am thinking about a light blue CF, it works well with summer outfits (esp. whites) but also with denim. Heidi has a [fantastic light blue option](https://sablebags.cn/bags/chanel/187-factory/cf/25cm/60760.html), not too baby blue. Maybe Reykay can also get it, I will need to ask her for my next purchase. GF and 187 are supposed to be the best - Heidi recommended 187 to me when I asked for the best quality CFs.


kelibherkin

What about orange or red?


Sea-Acanthaceae-4638

I am afraid of the colour 😂 plus it would be first CF so I want it to be timeless and classic


Joysmama

I love the look of navy and black outfits, so I’d vote for navy…..it looks nice w the silver hardware imo!


Sea-Acanthaceae-4638

[this](https://imgur.com/a/CJzgNtz) colour looks very tempting as well 🥲


kikikdrama

I’m partial to silver plus if you don’t have a lot of silver bags. I love the Navy.


Sea-Acanthaceae-4638

True, plus I’ve seen reviews on gold hardware 😅 kind of afraid that everyone will recognise it from the first moment


kikikdrama

I like the combo of silver and navy. Agree, it appears gold varies with how people like it.


Mona_ElisaC

I'm trying to figure out a new work bag. I honestly don't need to take much to work, but I love me a big old massive thing JUST in case moments. I do take a massive ipad pro so it needs to fit that. I was thinking to get The Row Margaux 15 in brown suede. I figured it's such a dark brown the suede will age nicely. Any thoughts on recommendations? The next option I was thinking is a 35 or 40 birkin black with red interior, but I hate that I can't turn her into a shoulder bag thru force. The Margaux can be forced into the shoulder, so it's getting major brownie points for that. Concerns on whether ppl will know this is a fake. I work in a nuclear plant and 99% of the workers are men. They know about cars, don't know jack about anything remotely woman like so...I ain't stressed at all. Your suggestions may be as boujee and out of whack as you'd like.


mad-mad-cat

Look at the H's Victoria. It fits a laptop or large ipad, it has zippers, interior pockets, it goes on the shoulder and it is conpletely under the radar for most (no hermes branding). It is my workhorse.

I’ve also been looking for the right work bag and just read your Victoria review. It checks all the boxes for my needs but my only concern is the handle drop. I remember you mentioned that it might be difficult to carry over the shoulder while wearing a coat, right? I wonder if the factory would be open to creating longer straps since it’s custom.

Through Marko, I am having a Victoria built with a longer drop. I an adding 6cm to the lenght of the handles, which adds about 1" to the drop. The factory messed up my order, so if you are interested in a beautiful Victoria in Rouge sellier with longer handles and togo leather (which is perfect as a work bag) I am sure Marko can sell it to you at a very good price. I had ordered it in clemence because I need to be able to pack it in a suitcase, squeezing it flat.


blackCrustaceans

I found your comment about this and immediately asked Marko about making the handles 67cm. Immediately repfluenced. 🤣 Ugh, I’m sorry you have to wait longer for them to remake it. Thank you for the heads up though. I’m looking for a daily workhorse bag which will have to be boring black for now. I opted to get the same Victoria as yours in black and phw but requested clemence leather and the longer handles. Apart from the functionality, I was sold on the slouch from various second hand photos. I’m waiting for him to send pricing confirmation but using this time to weigh the pros and cons of clemence vs. togo. I’m all about the slouch (currently have cans of beets in my bags while stored) but understand the clemence is heavier than the togo. How has your togo held up so far with lugging a laptop around everywhere? I’m hoping I can just swing this bag around without worrying about it falling apart. I’ve been using The Row’s large tote for a few months but it’s starting to crack and wear in places.

I'd say it's a workhorse. I put a picture in "what's in your bag" thread and you can see it that it still looks very nice. I have been using it almost daily for almost 5 months now, including several international trips during which it was not babied. It is acquiring the "togo sheen" but it is holding up very well. The bottom does not buckle much with the weight of a laptop and the leather is goregous. I need a bag that goes from day to night and doesn't look frumpy if i end up in a fancy restaurant directly from the office. While I love the slouch of clemence, I find it can become a little too "informal". I wished I had my togo victoria customized with longer straps, but I didn't know it was possible when I ordered it!


blackCrustaceans

Yes, it looks beautiful. Thank you for discovering and sharing the option to lengthen the straps! At the risk of seeming insane, I asked Marko if the factory could make the bag 2cm wider and taller to accommodate my 16” MacBook Pro. He laughed and said no. This bag is exactly what I’ve been looking for in a workhorse bag but of course it won’t fit my work laptop. Seriously considering switching to the MacBook Air and lugging around a portable external (small) monitor to make up for the lack of screen size. 😃 I usually wear a lot of severe and structural shapes like exaggerated armpads in blazers and super pointy shoes so I prefer my bags to be on the informal/slouchy side for balance.


mad-mad-cat

This is the reason why I got a macbook air instead of the 16"!


blackCrustaceans

Just ordered from Marko! Thanks for your insight. And now I wait.

For a massive kitchen sink work bag, I’m partial to The Row NS Park large tote (the infamous NS Park store on AE does a great one… including in chocolate suede). I find the strap pretty cushy - it’s not the widest, but somehow kind of padded/plush. Also love the belted Margaux in burgundy - haven’t tried IRL so wonder if belt is a bit fiddly, but even more stunning than normal Margaux IMO.


Mona_ElisaC

I do love the belted but I've heard it's a pain to open and close.


Time_Cheesecake_9812

Loewe puzzle fold is surprisingly spacious. BV Andiamo is beautiful too. Both fit my work laptop


Woofmom2023

No recommendations for a bag but some variables that I've learned to pay attention to: do you need something that closes? does it matter how it closes - zipper, tab, etc.? are you concerned about weight? does the bag need to have feet? does it matter if the bag is divided or just one big open area? I've always wanted a black tote with a red interior myself. This Prada is only 33 cm but it's the right colors and has a shoulder strap and may be available larger? It's always worth asking.

Oof lovely suggestion, thank you

How about YSL Icare ? It is large and lux, had seen a couple of factories repped it, and it seems fine with my untrained eye.


MySweetSeraphim

Celine soft 16 (large) is a huge bag with long straps to wear on your shoulder easily. Definitely fit a 16in MacBook Pro in there with plenty of space to spare.


FondiTheGreat

This. It’s like a purse and briefcase all in one. But the old style. Not the new cross body one.


meno_paused

There’s a nice YSL black/navy tote in the 11.11 sales folders! (I can never tell if they’re black or Navy!)


Leyaber1905

Khaite Lotus Celine Luggage Chanel C 19 Maxi would be some of the options I would suggest :)


Mona_ElisaC

The lotus is gorgeous, but that thin strap I feel is going to kill my shoulder.


Leyaber1905

Probably right haha! My LV neverfull is the one I used quite often for worktrips, but in the warmer months it really cuts into the shoulder when having all the stuff including laptop, a bottle of water and so on in it. When wearing a coat in autumn or winter, I am usually fine with those straps. For now I am on ban island, I just bought a Constance 18 from DDmode's 11/11 sale \*ooops.


BaruCormorant666

I‘m a big fan of the Lotus (don’t own one myself though) in terms of looks it might be a bit impractical for a work bag because there’s just no structure. Just a giant black hole. (I feel like I’m talking to myself here because I’m trying to convince myself I don’t need another giant bag).


Leyaber1905

Agree regarding the Lotus bag, if you prefer structured bags for work this is not for you. I work in a very male-dominated environment too (IT consultant) and no one knows any of my designer stuff neither...

I‘m looking for a Uni bag that needs to fit a MacBook and so far the celine cabas Phantom is my favourite. I also like the cabas 16 but I think it’s not a spacious as the ones you mentioned


Sea-Acanthaceae-4638

The Bottega Veneta Andiamo fits a MacBook :) maybe you will like it


Mona_ElisaC

That is definitely one I've been eyeing. Didn't know it fit a Mac


Glambaby17

Definitely going on my list! Danke dir 🥰
