How do you tell if a Prada Saffiano Leather bag is real or not? Some years ago I was gifted a fake LV bag and when I took it out in public and people laughed I was so embarrassed. The gifter swore up and down it was real but I ended up throwing it out. A few years later they gave me a Dior. I wanted to trust them but couldn’t. Now they gave me Prada. I’ve never taken it out as I’m too nervous. How do I check? (The gifter won’t tell me where they got it or show a receipt)

Interviewed for Meta exactly 2 weeks ago today. Contacted the recruiter last Tuesday and they said they were waiting to hear back from the hiring manager to discuss the interview results. Anyone that interviewed or gotten a job with Meta how did it take from the onsite to get your decision? Since I had to reach out to the recruiter and haven't heard anything since I assume they're interested in another candidate.

Trying to help my retired dad - When I google for what to do after retirement, only retirement planning related things shows up. My dad has been a workaholic and hasn’t developed many hobbies he could pursue. I was wondering how I could help him stay slightly occupied if not busy. Anyone here experienced this with your parents or yourself? How did you navigate this?

I know this is kind of low budge for some of the bags that have been posted lately, but I’m about to pull the trigger on the Saint Laurent Quilted Vintage Leather Camera bag in cream. Just a small everyday crossbody. Any thoughts?? Would love to hear feedback. Would love something bigger than this to throw more stuff in, but am really attracted to the design.

Which are more worth it and why? Christian Dior slingbacks, jimmy choo mules or Manolo blahnik satin pumps?

Interested in everyone’s opinions on replica luxury. I ask because, as noted in the previous thread re: Chanel’s price increases, the quality of authentic luxury bags is going way down while the price increases consistently. Specifically Chanel and LV. I’m fascinated in the online rep community and it looks like rep quality has increased exponentially (with genuine materials and 1:1 markings, stitching, hardware, etc). What’s your argument for or against replicas?

Anyone have the newer, smaller Cartier JUC? If so, is it a practical don’t take off/wear it everyday bracelet? Would it work to stack with the Love (if you have it)? Thank you in advice for any advice. :)

Is fashionphile a legitimate place to buy a Chanel bag if it comes with an authenticity card? I know that there is at least some risk, but I’m trying to gauge if this a reputable enough place to spend so much money. Thanks!

Does anyone own an LV Capucines? My heart has been set on that for a while now but I see it’s prices keep going up, up, up! The one thing I love about the bag is the structured look and no over the top logo print. Does anyone have it and if yes, is it worth the investment? Also are there other LV bags that do not have the visible LV prints?
