Which designer / luxury items have you fallen in love with and then realised a few months later that you made a mistake? For me, I find designer shoes are one of the hardest items to get right and I've made some mistakes with my Fendi purchases here. I also fall victim to seeing items on social media and thinking they look great, without actually placing them in my life. Some of my biggest designer buy regrets would be the Fendi puffer jacket (even though it's super warm!), and the YSL coffee mug. I'm still trying to get on better with my Celine Triomphe wallet as it's so pretty, and the Chanel bag at the end of the video might be a surprise...

    Can I make a suggestion? It appears you're buying some items (parka & trainers) merely because they're designer. I suggest buying items only from designers or brands that have an expertise in that product. True, it's not as exiting to buy a Conmigo thermal cup vs. a YSL cup, but YSL isn't an expert in thermal cups. It's fine to have a love of designer items (I do), but a lot of designers create products outside their expertise maybe to reach a wider audience, who knows. For instance, your Fendi Parka was of poor quality. If you can't get a zipper right on a coat meant for frigid weather, then it doesn't matter how great the material is or how it looks if you're going to be frozen solid on the slopes if your zipper doesn't work. It's better to buy products by a brand with an expertise in that product (Patagonia, Canada Goose, Columbia, etc.) or to get trainers from companies focusing on creating trainers, not stilettos. For performance products requiring a lot of use, it doesn't make sense to spend on a designer item.

    Thanks for your thoughts. This is definitely something I’ve been thinking about more and especially around bags. You’re definitely on to something and I’m becoming much more aware of which brands do which products best. The Fendi zipper is because it reverses so it can be used both ways but yes - it’s not really okay at these price points.

    For the prices of these items, you'd think the designers would have thought things out a bit more (i.e. the wallet from Celine costs more than an Apple laptop yet it lacks card holder slots and you'd have to fight with the other cards to get a card out?). C'mon, for that price it shouldn't' have such basic issues. Sigh...

    Personally, I would say that Celine’s wallet are worth the money. I have the CARD HOLDER WITH FLAP TRIOMPHE IN SHINY CALFSKIN and it can fit more than 10 cards even with keys and money inside. Though it only has one slot on the front part, it can fit 2 cards and taking it out is pretty easy. So if you’re interested, I would recommend it a lot especially for the price that I paid.

    I agree on both weight and being able to close the bag. Especially if using public transport, being on the go a lot. I see so many beautiful bags that I end up not buying because they are already heavy when empty or do not close well and I am worries about theft. Especially with more summery bags or totes.

    I’ve lived in London, New York & Toronto and noticed big differences in how people wear outerwear. New York can be very cold in the winter, especially with the wind tunnels in Manhattan. It’s a walking city, so warm coats, hats, scarves & mitts are popular. Toronto is even colder and can be very damp, but it’s more of a driving city, so you can get away with less if you have a car, though Torontonians love their big puffers! London is so mild in relation, and people seem to commute primarily by tube & cab, that I knew people who didn’t even own coats! The Fendi puffer would get a lot of use in New York & Toronto!

    Totally agree with you about the Celine compact wallet. I’ve got the small triomphe wallet in textile and calfskin and I love the way it looks but it’s not practical. I need more card slots and the cards always get stuck. The practicality of the design is ☹️ I’ve gone back to my LV empreinte Victorine. For me the Victorine is the perfect compact wallet.

    The Hermès Bounce sneakers are very comfortable. When I go shopping for hours I always go for my Bounce sneakers. Last weekend we went to an amusement park with the kids and I had them on for at least 8 hours. I think the Day sneakers are less comfortable because of the leather that is a bit more rigide.

I get so many compliments on my shoes, they’re the white leather with the rose gold lock. Thanks for your feedback on these items. The Celine looks like it would be a great piece, but maybe they should have done the card slots on both sides and then attached the snaps. Great idea, could be perfected

    I do understand the practicality point but in the thriomphe wallet the reason why the cards are facing eachother in the middle of the wallet is for security reasons. Even if the leather stretches the cards are safer. The total of 5 slots is really few.

    I had to giggle when I saw you pull out the Celine wallet because I made the exact same mistake as you. As much as I wanted to love this pretty little SLG, I do not. Even with the four interior card slots, I can only carry two cards. When I first tried to put four cards inside each slot (two per side), I literally could not get the back two cards out of their slots without a great deal of effort. It was waaaay too snug a fit and was totally annoying. 🤨 As far as the wallet actually holding my notes, I’m not sure if Canadian currency is larger than the currency in Europe but my bills are too long to fit inside the note holder. There is about a two cm overhang of the bills - ugh! So maddening! I wanted to love this wallet because I’m all about matching my SLG’s with my bags and also because it’s so incredibly beautiful, but this wallet at $960 Canadian dollars is a huge disappointment. My Celine Small 16 bag on the other hand, is perfection! I’m glad I am in such great company with this wallet blunder! 🙋🏼‍♀️

    Hey Ruth! So we both did the same thing here the 16 was a total winner and the wallet, not so much haha. Yes the card slots are very frustrating, not an easy piece to use. The UK notes fit fine inside so I'm going to assume your notes much be a fair bit bigger. Very pretty but I think next time I'll really try a piece out in store next time I buy any SLG like this.

    I was on the lookout for a wallet for almost a decade. Last year i decided to get a montblanc for my birthday, and honestly i am very happy with my choice. If you are still looking for a lux wallet, i cannot recommend enough the montblancs. sure, they are not as sexy as a YSL or Celine, but the leather is butter soft and they are really thought out. Mine is blue and it is perfect comination of classic luxury with a bit of a twist. when the day comes that i need a replacement, for sure i will get another montblanc!

    But I’m answer to your question I regret my mini Antigona. The daft connection of the strap to the bag which occasionally becomes detached. The tight opening where the zip scratches your hands. And it’s a bit too wide to wear cross body. I bought it preloved at a very good price so I’ll probably sell it on and hopefully won’t lose too much

    With the day sneakers. Do you just need a 1/2 size larger if they are tight in the toe box? Especially if your toes are at the end of the shoes. They will get tighter as the time on your feet increases and they swell up slightly. It’s why we should always try shoes on after we’ve been on our feet a while. I’ve learnt this the hard way. I wear orthotics in all trainers and they are thicker than the removable insoles most trainers come with and my sneakers end up too tight. I recently bought a pair of Louboutin trainers and initially worried that they were a bit big but once I had them on for a while they were perfect.

    One of THE best purchases I have ever made was the LV Empreinte Key Pouch in black. It has a zipper in the back where I'll have my two debit cards and it would fit more easily. And in the pouch I'll have a little cash. I only have one key so it's always dangling outside. This has become my wallet and it has been in non stop use for like 6 years now and still looks great. I can't see myself ever getting rid of it. It will have to disintegrate before I get something else. If I need to carry all my cards with me (ID, CC, Metro card etc) I have a separate MCM card holder in leather/visetos which has been great as well. Very tough and hardwearing and it looks nice.

    Yes the saddle is one of those bags that does look really cool, I'm always tempeted myself but as you say an awkward one. I would want a mini and that would mostly be a show piece than practical in any way.

    @@Handbagholic Wise decision. I can't get away from the fact that Galliano was actually inspired by Helmut Newton who did a session for French Vogue and it was pretty borderline porno, with actual saddles on women and whips etc. To me I can't unsee those images. Plus the bag is impractical. It does however come in some fabulous colours, Amelia Rose has one in lurid yellow it would look great with winter white, charcoal grey or navy. That's enough of a difference to make me forget.

    I have the Celine small wallet which is pretty similar in design to this one (minus that it doesn’t turn into a card holder) and I have been so so happy with it! Like you, I was on the hunt for a wallet that could hold my bills and I didn’t want anything large… I have mainly small purses. There are seven total card slots and a mini coin holder which I wouldn’t recommend for coins because it isn’t a zip… it was difficult to break in at first but I have come to appreciate that since my cards slide out so easy now and fit perfectly snug 😊

    The real patent leather is actually made from calf leather with an oil based coating. Today many brands cheat and use acrylics and polyruthane which look much more «plasticy». I am surprised that Chanel would do that, especially on a vintage bag. I would have asked around which method was used on your bag; the original way or the cheap way.

    Ooph, I had that exact Celine wallet and also returned it for similar practicality reasons. The little pouch once you take it off isn't as slim as you'd think because of the two knobs in the back, so it doesn't fit into zippered compartments of micro bags (not to mention it would create dents in soft leathers). And then the bigger compartment, as beauuutiful as it is, is extra bulky because of the triomphe, so not exactly "compact" for fitting into smaller bags. SIGHHH, such a same because it look so stunning. So what I ended up doing is this combo: super super simple Celine card holder with leather one side and canvas the other side. It holds 4 cards and the leather side has a pocket too. There is a zippered center pouch for small coins or bills if I am going minimal and just want to take this card holder. Then I have the key pouch in canvas. Holds all my keys on its attached keychain, and it's big enough to hold all other extra shopping loyalty cards, receipts, coupons, whatever you have it. Finally, I exchanged the Triomphe compact wallet for a medium strap wallet. Holds so many cards, has lots of practical compartments, AND my passport fits inside!!! So kind of a perfect travel wallet to consolidate all my things together. Have been pretty happy with this set-up so far!

    I had the same experience with my Chloe Nama sneakers with your Hermes shoes. I thought it was super comfortable, so I decided to use it as my "only pair of shoes" for my travel to HK two weeks ago. My God, I got the most excruciating pain ever! I got corns on both feet. Don't get me wrong it's so pretty, and like Hermes the quality is top notch, but if I had known it's not good for travel then I would have just use my Converse, Veja or New Balance.

The zipper teeth will slice and dice your hands and SLGs . And that strap is useless. I'd rather have it an actual crossbody than a shoulder. But I still love the look of it and have kept my medium. I've looked at a small with the crossbody strap but just don't see that will improve the access with an even smaller opening and those ziller teeth.

I can literally walk in my Adidas 24/7 and feel no pain whatsoever. I made a mistake once when I bought these really beautiful rock'n'roll studded basketball trainers from Givenchy.
