Hi lovely! Yayy congratulations, what a great feeling it is, and will be even more joyful in spring 💜 Mine is also waiting for spring/summer, while I wear my caramel in regular size and other more autumm/winter bags. Thanks for sharing, I’m so glad to hear that my review was helpful making this decision:)

Omg, thanks for sharing! How weird and tricky is that? As far as I see VCA and many other companies for instance are transparent about where they source different precious stones from. Although Roberto Coins creations with ”black jade” caught my attention I’ll not pay for something they provide no info about, neither orgin or any certification… Even if Nicole Kidman and other celebrities are promoting those items 😄

By the way, based on my very limited research I thought that black jade may be of a nephrite or jadeite variety, that was my only question to the RC customer care which is it and from what part of the world… Like, total basics. Oh well 💁‍♀️ If there’s neither info nor certificate being provided apart from ”jade” header how do I as a customer know it’s not an onyx, or just any black crystal? Anyway, most cringe is a lawyer googling my name and emailing me not as a response to my question sent to customer care, but through my personal website’s contact form 👀 Like, who does that even and why on earth.

I completely agree dear 💜 Sad that such a practical one is discontinued.

Thank you dear 💜 It’s been some weeks since I’ve filmed this and I’m really enjoying the pendant so far!

Hi lovely 💜 If I remember well, something around 1500€ or a bit more.

Hi lovely Isabella 💜 I’m so glad to hear this video was usefull! I completely understand the sizing-thoughts, had the same;)) Hope you’ll enjoy the bag!

Hi lovely 💜 Cool, and what do you love the most about this bag?:) As for my fav bag of all, hmm, great question 😊 I love each of my bags as every one of them is a very specific one for unique use-cases and outfits. If I had to just pick a few, from small bags it would be my black Celine Triomphe woc and white caviar Chanel woc, and if I had to pick one of them I’d say the Chanel woc. Out of all of my medium bags my fave is this Polene Neuf in regular size and Alaia Mina 25. If I’d have to keep one of those I’d probably pick the Polene Neuf:)

Hi lovely 💜 Yes that is a beautiful one, such a special weaving and design. Oh Snd the Lottie is another wonderful bag - what do you love the most about it after wearing it for past year?

Warm welcome! I’m so glad to hear it was useful 💜

@@lilac.moonlight I really like your style. Could you talk more about how you choose the shape of the watches? I’m unsure about which style to buy-something more vintage, larger, or with sparkles. What do you think about watches with colored cases, like blue, green, or burgundy?

Thanks for a heartwarming compliment @@jeennysoares 🥰 I understand it can be difficult to choose when there are so many options! I am quite basic when it comes to wrist watches… I am fully content having 1 or max 2 and wearing same for years. I only look for a timeless design with some jewelery characteristics, and fully waterproof. Therefore, I don’t buy those with leather parts or any design details that could be damaged by e.g. rain. For some reason I personally don’t like round watches and big ones as I feel them too much on my wrist. Colorful cases sound cool for an occassional watch for specific outfits. There’s many beautiful watches though, I would recommend choosing the one that feels best on your wrist + makes you feel joy seeing it:) This joy-filter I apply for all the items that I own. I’m curious to hear what watch will you choose next - good luck in the process! 💜

Yes… Most of the time 😉

Hi lovely! Exactly how it felt 🙈 a premium box with a… 😶‍🌫️… inside.

hmm perhaps

Hi lovely 💜 Yes, and especially in autumn!

Hi lovely! Yes true, if I remember well there were even some scratches on the hardware here and there.

Hi lovely! Welcome, I’m so glad you liked it 💜

Thank you for the feedback lovely 💜

Hi lovely! Thanks for your feedback 💜 I indeed like to focus on a main ”character” in my videos:D

Hi! Cannot really compare as I don’t have that one, but from photos online it looks like a hexagon shape? Has some similarities, but to me they look like two very different watches:)

Hi lovely, you are welcome 💜 This one is 23mm

Hi lovely, what a cool idea 💜 I’d love a fruity version too

Hi Justine! I’m so glad to hear it was helpful 💜

Thanks for tour feedback! 💜

Hi lovely, it’s a small one 💜 You can find unboxing of it among my videos, I explained there why I haven’t bought a mini even though I tried it. I personally wouldn’t recommend a mini size of this watch for anyone who’s any bigger than XS/34 and taller than 165cm, and generally if one wants to see time not only have 1cm wide bracelet (that’s an actual width of the mini cartier panthere watch bracelet). Well, but it’s only my opinion:)

Thanks for your feedback 💜

@@lilac.moonlight I can share with you if you want to solve your problems.

Thank you lovely 💜 I did return the Fossil Raquel as it didn’t meet my expectations. However, the Panthere is being worn non stop for almost a year and is ahh-mazing. Do you have a ”holy grail” watch recommendation?:)

@@lilac.moonlight Cartier is my favourite watch brand and I have 3 + 1 which I have yet to unbox so stay tuned! I’d love to get a Rolex, too, but they’re just not available in the configuration that I want :(

Lovely to hear 💜 I adore Alaïa as well!

I totally agree 💜 Awesome, I hope you’ll enjoy it:)

Hi lovely, you’re so welcome 💜 I’ve been wearing this bag approx. a 1-2 times each month but am quite sure that I would have been wearing it more often if it was white. I’m even considering getting it in white as well, since I really like both this design and functionality. Good luck deciding what works best for you!

Thank you for your answer. Does your bag still look good after using it? Does it look like it’s worth the money you paid?

@@sarathatcher3349 ​​⁠ it still looks very good, as new. I’d say it is worth the money if the design & functionality of this bag is what you’d really enjoy wearing, if it fits the use cases you are thinking of. Quality is really good but if I had to choose a bag purely based on how the leather feels I’d prefer leather of bags from other brands. I’d recommend to ”touch” this bag live before deciding:) I mean, leather is great but it has somewhat hard surface, not subtle/soft.

Thank you so much!

You’re so welcome 💜 Good luck choosing the one that’s best for you! Now after longer time owning both I must say that the Celine woc has a stronger smell of leather. Wasn’t obvious from the start but now it bothers me…

Hi lovely 💜 Do you mean those charms I wear on the same hand as this Hermes bracelet? Those are from a brand called Malvensky.

😊🫶💛

Hi, yes it is:) Yes they have two showrooms, one in Milan and another in Gorla Minore 💜

Hi lovely! Great idea 💜 I’ve added some mod shots in the video but can gather more and share:)

Hi lovely, you are so welcome 💜 I was watching quite many reviews before purchasing this one and was also surprised that nobody ever mention such details as the stiching lines. Perhaps they are not so obvious from the first sight, but I do notice every detail, haha 🧐🤓😉 Great tip for the zipper, I actually started doing the same. However, I keep it open most of the time! What’s the size & color of your Jodie and do you enjoy it?:)

@@lilac.moonlight 💛 I actually have the medium size in the grape color. I fell in love with that color and hunted it down preloved on eBay. as you can imagine the nail biting, but it went through eBay authentication and I authenticated it separately so all good. Great question, do I enjoy it? haha. I am a taller person and I had hopes the medium would have much more room for the shoulder carry, but it's still a struggle! And the bag is heavy! which again a lot of ppl don't really mention. I'm guilty of this too, you want to love a brand/bag so much we almost make concessions for its cons. haha.

@@beebeeme2023 oh the jodie in grape looks stunning! 🍇 I can imagine that sizes bigger than teen get heavy when filled. However, they look very convenient on a shoulder. Haha, sometimes when we love a design we indeed tend to ignore some of the other aspects of an item 🙈 As long as it gives joy it’s still worth keeping:)

Hi lovely, you are so welcome 💜 Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I am still loving this bag, no regrets. Wears so well and still feels like new, the only thing I noticed getting some slight scrathing is the metalic closure as it’s metal on metal and is touching with each open & close move. Raffia ones are very nice, if you love raffia! Oh, I shall mention one thought regarding the shape. I prefer Mayfair version 2, that new shape and am now eyeing one of those now :)) Mayfair 2 were not released when I bought mine. There’s no in interwoven style though! Let me know if you decide to order one (and if yes then which:) All the best choosing ☀️

@@lilac.moonlight hi lovely :) thank you so much for prompt, in-depth and honest feedback! I have to say that your video is by far my favorite one out of all the ones I saw, please continue to do more videos, you are super inspiring (making me want to give a shot at filming as well !) I also really love the Mayfair2 version but thinking the midi may be more bulkier in that style? I originally wanted to go with a neutral mini size that would be a good day-night transition. The Mayfair2 in Champagne metallic croc looks so pretty! I am 5'8 so maybe the midi will be okay. I also do like that it has one single compartment, may fit more things. Something about the woven and raffia bags that is so timeless and summery though, I am so drawn to esp after your video =) Please please do a review if you get any of the Mayfair2 versions. Have a blessed and beautiful day! <3

Hi lovely 💜 I also love how this particular model looks in white and in black - so classy but as you say can be casual cool too! Do you have any wocs which you can recommend?:)

Well they were good, but to me personally they were the speakers I liked the least out of all which I’ve ever heard at home 😌 Bulky by design, and the sound lacked clarity…

@@lilac.moonlight Shocked! I have not heard the Elysian 4 -But a friend who runs an audio business picked them as his reference speaker and even measured the response and they were spot on - anyway the 30 i have not heard but the 50 I have and they were good but so overpriced just ridiculous. Great video -lucky husband.

@@roymindmybusiness6908 Interesting, thanks for sharing! I think it also depends on what amplifier they (Elysians) are matched with, perhaps just didn’t work well with the one we had:)

Great video! I just sold my Wharfedale Elysian 4 spkrs and I'm considering these Dynaudio Confidence 30 spkrs. The Elysian 4 spkrs were just ok but lacked excitement and musicality.

Camel is gorgeous, great choice 👍 So easy to match with everything 😊

Hi lovely 💚 Nice to meet another green-lover! The belt is from Pinko, it’s called ”love birds leather belt” :)

Hi 💜 Wow in suede, so classy! Hope you’ll enjoy it! 🙌 I was actually thinking about moss/khaki green bag in suede. Is the bottegas certificate of craft provided even for suede bags? Please share after using it for a while if the handle is not getting datler easily (that’s what I was a bit afraid about hence ordered a darker in smooth leather)

Could be even better than a pair of speakers indeed ☺️

Hi lovely, you’re welcome 💜 I haven’t noticed that, in which part of the bag do you see it? Sounds like something they would fix using the cerrificate of craft (lifetime warranty) if you have it… Hope it gets resolved!

@@lilac.moonlight hi thank you for get back with me. So I went back to store today and check out all other bottega veneta hop bag and realized partial of the leather in hop bag around the handle area having some kind of fabric that is glued/ sealed together underneath with leather I think they just want to make it more stronger however after use for a while the fabric and the leader will tear apart, you know like when the glue got loses. I checked all the.Jodie bag and I don’t see that any of it has that fabric in sealed with leather. So I guess only on the hop bag I took a picture if you want me to share with you.

Thanks lovely 💜 I hope uou also like some of the belts though 😉

Hi lovely! The black leather part of the strap which is on the inside of the flap is possible to open if you’d like to remove the strap, but it only moves towards one direction through the loops, so the chain always stays in same place firmly when you use it. You can cross the chain to put the upper black leather part (the shoulder strap) inside, then you get a double chain. But it leaves only 17cm chain drop, which makes the bag possible to carry on your elbow but not shoulder. I’d recommend to see the bag live to play a bit with the strap and decide if it works for you 💜 Good luck deciding 😊🫶

Hi lovely 💜 You have a good vision! It’s 5 and I think it’s just right. Looks delicate, not to flashy, easy to stack but also looks nice on it’s own. Good luck choosing what feels best fit for you ✨

Hi lovely 💜 I’m so glad to hear the review was useful! Oh the sandalwood colour is very nice. I think it looks best on someone with dark hair or cold skintone, like the model on Polenes website. Camel is a warmer one, at least how I see it. But overall, depends on what do you plan to wear it with, what color makes you extra glad seeing it? Both can work well with many outfits:) And un nano is such a grab & go bag, one of my most used ones, and it still looks pristine!

I am a redhead, but I do not like the way most camel bags looks on me unfortunately (too warm and bright), so I think I need contrast. My wardrobre constists of both cool an warm tones. I wear a lot of black, cream, navy, grey, khaki/olive green, tan shades, darker camel (as not strange)etc…my shoes are mostly black and ecru/white though. So am looking for a neutral bag color (except black) that could work with both warmer and coller tones. So I thought maybe Polene’s sandalwood or taupe would be best. But problem is I have to pick only one and not sure which one would be most versatile 😀

💜

Hi lovely 💜 Thanks for your feedback and welcome back!

Hi! Yes it is quite a small one really. My sunnies in a soft pouch fit but if there’s anything else like glass bottle that I plan to carry then I always take another one with me:)
