So I bought a Louis Vuitton Marly Dragonne Gm Monogram Brown Coated Canvas Wristlet. I have been cleaning a lot of vintage pieces so I am very familiar with the zipper and hardware of these bags. BUT I had encountered something new. I bought a piece that had the date code 861 (no letters) which meant that it was made in 1986 January. I started to clean the zipper and I notice a few things that started to freak me out. * First of all the colour of the zipper was different.  It was a pinky copper color, as opposed to the normal gold brass colour.  * Second, the shape of the zipper teeth were different!   * The back of each zipper had " Swiss  Made" on the backside of it   * the front zipper pull was silver, not gold WHAT IS GOING ON!?

We took off from Seoul South Korea and landed in Paris around 6:30PM. ...

So I made a purchase from FARFETCH.com  I would like to share the whole process. The purchasing, the website, faulty goods, returns process, calling the help line, and re-ordering. On 02-Jan-2018 I made a purchase of two bags; both Versace diamante bags but different colour. One was for myself and one was for mum.  I made the purchase through PAYPAL and it took about a day and a half for the status to change from "REVIEWING" to "PREPARING ORDER" _____ ______ ____ ___ ______ ______ ___ __ ______ ______ ______ ______ ______ ___ I thought maybe I should have just paid through credit card directly but I felt more safer this way and the total shipping time from order to arrival did not take long. Once your package is shipped you get an email from Farfetch as below: They took 3 business days to ship out my order as I received this email on 05- Jan-2018 around 5:48AM. At the same time DHL sent out a text message to me. It showed all the tracking d...

So I had 5 days in San Francisco which is in the state of California of USA. 1. Things you must consider before your trip: A) When you are travelling to the US with an Australian or NZ passport you need a "ESTA". They call it a "visa waiver, b ut y ou can think of it like a visa that you can apply   online WHICH YOU MUST PUT THROUGH & PAY AT LEAST 72 HOURS BEFORE YOUR FLIGHT!!!!
