Japan recommendations for a store / SA:

I am on the flight to Japan thinking about the Loewe Suna Fujita Japan exclusive.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a store / SA?

Kyoto Osaka or Japan?

Success this morning at Lincoln road. Hot out. Which is your favorite bag charm?

Saturday was a bust but today I managed to find myself in the right spot at the right time.

Did I ever share my Keepall Bandoulière 35 in Monogram Surplus?

Needed to get a haircut run some errands before my trip. And I don’t remember if I shared my new little guy with you.

It’s a great medium size.m for my AirPod Max, iPad, and some chargers.

And i am addicted to this color way.

Description from the website: The Keepall Bandoulière 35 in Monogram Surplus coated canvas features a sophisticated woven-effect Keepall Bandoulière 35 in Monogram Surplus embossing combined with a unique Monogram treatment that creates subtle camouflage accents. Natural cowhide leather handles and lateral bands are juxtaposed with a name tag in natural leather. A removable shoulder strap offers carry options.

First trip to Japan from United States. What do we need to know about Steak?

We plan on going to Peter Luger and Ribera. I know there’s lots of myths and errors regarding “Wagyu” and “Kobe.”

What does a first timer need to know?

Heading to Japan. What should I come home with?

I’m heading to Japan with my wife and adult children. We’re on a 14 day tour that is going to end in Disney Land and Disney Sea.

We don’t have a lot of downtime or planned shopping trips. Although we do have a day free in Tokyo. I’m not planning on buying anything and don’t have a ton of room in my luggage. But if there is a Japanese exclusive (I am looking at you Loewe) you know I can’t resist.

If you’ve ever been to Japan, what do you recommend?

Is there anything on my radar that I should be looking to obtain?

Again, it’s not a shopping trip and I don’t plan on coming home with any bags but any of you that know me by now but as Maury Povitch said: The lie detector test determined… THAT was a lie.

So what is the over / under on how many bags I come home with?

Keepall 50 or Speedy 40?? I’m only gonna keep one.

I’m trying to decide which one to keep. I like the speedy 40 but I do have a few of them. The keep all is a little big but can probably use the size.

So just based on looks, i think I prefer the keep all for the large pattern on this.

Which would you keep?

Are you ready for the summer? I am with my Loewe Paula’s Ibiza XL Puzzle Tote!!!

Are you ready for the summer? I am with my Loewe Paula’s Ibiza XL Puzzle Tote!!! 🌴☀️ The perfect mix of luxury craftsmanship and effortless beach-club energy. I love how the geometric Puzzle Fold design keeps it stylish and sophisticated while still being lightweight, practical, and easy to travel with. The woven raffia and leather trim give it that quiet luxury vibe, while the whole Paula’s Ibiza collection captures the carefree spirit of 1970s Ibiza — art, music, sunshine, and jet-set summer style all rolled into one bag.

Forgive me if this is not allowed but I wanted to share some video: https://x.com/luxxldrip/status/2054794302161641864?s=46

Sometimes you need a suit. And sometimes you need a bag to put your suit in.

Any of you guys fans of WWE wrestling?

I like to wear a suit to the shows especially if I know I’m gonna be on TV. Or if I’m gonna be at a meet and greet.

I wanted to share by LV suiter. It fits multiple suits and has a carry strap.

Is the wristlet on the Goyard De Trunk Bag designed to be removable?

I was wondering if someone can tell me if the wristlet on the Goyard De Trunk Bag is easily removable.

I am assuming it comes from the factory attached and the clasp was not meant to be opened.

The reason I ask is I bought one pre-owned and the wristlet was packaged seperatley. I can reattach it but it seems like they bent the clasp to take the wristlet off and I am kind of salty that the clasp was stretched and now I am brute forcing it closed.

It was attached in the photos.

Does anyone know if this clasp was designed to be opened and closed?

I am taking a family vacation to Japan in two weeks. Are there any Japanese exclusives currently being run and does anyone have a good connect with an English speaking sales associate?

I have the bolide messenger and have been using it without wearing the lock, key, and clochette because I have no idea where it should go.

The back of the bag has the strap attachments on the body side and that makes not sense. The bolide has a metal loop for where you could put the lock to secure the bag zipper closed but not in real use scenario.
There’s nowhere else to hang it.

Am I missing something or do you just use the bag without wearing them.

I call them collateral. I don’t wanna say accessories because that’s a whole nother category.

Do you prefer when the parts: the lock and strap and other collateral of your bag are opened by the store / l sales associate like with this unboxing?

https://x.com/lvxldrip/status/2050606258206511263?s=46

Or would you rather be the first person to open the straps and lock and key?  #Pristine

It’s a question of pristine vs presentation.

Hi All!

I noticed there aren’t a lot of BV bags in this reddit. I wanted to know, what do you think of the brand? I’m an advisor for Bottega and would love to offer any assistance to those unfamiliar with the brand or inquiring about an item. There is something for everyone at Bottega!

So I ended up at an advance screening of The Devil Wears Prada 2… and honestly, I wasn’t watching the movie—I was scouting the bags.

Who else is going just for the bags?
