Any recs on women’s luxury brand sneakers?

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?

For those in NYC - my favorite second hand luxury reseller (based in Paris) is in NYC next week for a pop-up. Their service is super professional and their selection of products is great.

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?
