Fix stray thread?🧵

I bought this second-hand Fendi Baguette. It appears that one of the woven strands was cut somehow - now I risk further fraying. Any ideas on how to glue the fibers down? Something that won’t yellow or deteriorate the other threads? Thanks 🙏

$56 Lalage Beaumont

I was soooo lucky and snagged this MINT condition Lalage Beaumont Orinoco Eastwest bag for $56 - Retails for $1200. I waited 2 hours until it expired from someone’s cart. Not proud, but worth it!

Good “enough”?

The 2 pics with ‘AUTH’ in green are the bag I requested (actually these pics are from the factory catalog), second with red are the psp - difference in interior of flap is smooth leather/ zipper details - the Fendace label is missing - just standard Fendi brass is there.

From seller recommended by trusted on Reddit. Price $246.

I don’t care so much about the label being wrong but I just wonder if the price is too high considering the differences. The seller said the factory made different batches and some lacked the interior label. Other sellers have not had the bag and I really want it otherwise. Thoughts?

Before I confirm… is the price reasonable?

Fendi Peekaboo in Ostrich leather. I forgot to ask the factory but is from seller recommended here.

Dementia advancing, mom rebelling

My sister and I had to start using the financial POA that my mom signed 3 years ago. She spends 6 months at my home and 6 months at my sisters home. She is not happy about us taking over her finances.. before her dementia was severe she left instructions for us to take over “when she gets bad”. She just recently was overdrawing her accounts, buying the same grocery items five times in the week, falling for recurring charges, internet scams, etc. Finally my sister and I took her cards and her passwords away. We have asked her to put her items in her grocery store cart and we will order them after reviewing it. Of course she forgot everything we had talked about. Today a huge grocery order of junk food arrived- she reset her bank account password and was able to place a food order - she’s an insulin dependent diabetic and 95% blind from diabetic retinopathy-ordering multiple cakes, pies, chips etc. I’m too exhausted to even investigate if she forgot or did this in spite of what was discussed. I know this isn’t ‘her’- but it feels so horrible and I’ve always looked for her approval in life. Mourning that she now sees us (her daughters) negatively.
