Would you buy a used Balenciaga classic city bag? I don’t like the neo and the prices are great, but I am wary of the used bag market and wanting a bag that feels clean, for lack of less lame way of putting it. Any experiences or tips for buying used?

Make sure the hardware is in tact and there’s no visible wear to the outside leather. The inside can be cleaned fairly easily. I have 3 pre-owned Balenciaga handbags with rose gold hardware (I wish they’d bring that back!!) and they were all in excellent used condition to be honest, the older bags aged much better.

Wet the inside a little and scrub with a toothbrush that has a little dish soap on it, wet again and dry. Make sure you pull the material out of the bag (it’ll still be attached).

How do you deal with a manager who expects 3 months of work overnight? I have tried structuring , creating a plan to show him how the activities are being executed. However, he seems to be someone who turns around every other hour to ask ‘Is it done’? I am usually pretty good at managing expectations but having a hard time conveying how unreasonable he is being. Despite being organized, I am coming across as scattered and jumbled since I have been working 15+ hours with no food and break daily

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?
