Vestiaire Collective Review/What I bought from there
Hayyyy!!
Can I just start by announcing that Rihannas new song FourFiveSeconds is out now!!! And I am obsesssed, I love Rih and I can't wait for her new album to be release, hopefully soon!
Okey, on to the days topic, I discovered this site Vestiaire Collective last summer, and basically it is a online-high-end- thrift store. So you buy used and sometimes new items from actual people or small companies, so not directly from the brand. The reason why Vestiaire Collective is sooo good, is because they check that all the items are authentic before sending it to the buyer. The process goes as follows:
1. You see a product that you want to buy and either a) discuss the price and ask questions from the seller, or then b) just pay the shown price that the seller has set. You pay the price for Vestiaire, and not directly for the seller.
2. The seller gets a notification that their product was sold and they are asked to send it over to the Vestiaire Collective head office. You start to waiting excitingly when your purchase will arrive!
3. In the head office, a professional team will evaluate the product and checks that it is as the seller described and that it matches the pictures online. They also check that it is authentic, they will not sell any fakes, which is good!! You hope that your baby passes the test and will be on the way to its new home soon.
4. If the product is as described and authentic, Vestiaire will send the product to you and pay the money to the seller, and take their commission. Almost home!
5. The most exciting part!! You receive your item, which is very well packaged so that your item doesn't get hurt during the transportation. Every product has a tag attached to it, and when you remove it, the item is completely yours! However, if the product is not the one you wanted, or you have changed your mind, no worries, you can still cancel the sale! Just don't take the tag off and follow the instructions provided.
6. Now you can enjoy your life with your new baby and use it as much as you like and take selfies!
I have bought a Louis Vuitton agenda and a Chanel vanity case. I love Vestiaire because I got these items for a really good price, and they are almost in perfect condition!!

This is very convenient, but I'm thinking of selling this because I don't use it as much as I'd want to :/ It is too big for everyday use for my school bag so I only take it with me when I travel, which is like every 3-4 months. But I like it a lot and it kinda reminds me of the old-times when Chanel was founded. Like old ladies in the 20's :D I love it!
But ohmgg this I love and I have been using it everyday since I got it. It even came with the stickers! The previous owner hadn't used them. I just had to buy new pages and thats it!
I do have one "negative" story!!
I saw these BEAUTIFUL white leather sneakers from YSL and they were only 300 euros and normally they are 500. I had been eyeing those on their own website and now I thought my opportunity had come and decided to click them to my shopping cart and paid the 300 euros! So, they informed the owner to send them to them. Waited for some weeks, didn't hear a response. I e-mailed them again asking for them and they said that they hadn't heard anything and that we have to wait for some time still. It ended up that the owner never send the shoes, maybe because they changed their mind, I never heard of them. BUT, the good thing is that they give you the full refund, so you don't actually lose anything :)
And another good thing, I found the same exact shoes from Farfetch.com for a little cheaper, and they were new :)
So, I HIGHLY recommend this site for all you luxury lovers :)!! Let me know if you have bought anything from Vestiaire, and how was the experience :)!

My first Louis Vuitton experience+tips!
Hey everyone!
Today I will be talking about my first ever shopping experience in a Louis Vuitton store. I visited the New Bonds Street LV store in London, which was huge! At the end of this post I have some tips that I've used.
As some of you know, I bought a Louis Vuitton mini pochette accessoires last weekend and made an unboxing post in this blog. I had already been looking at it online at their website, so I knew what I was going to get and how much does it cost.
I must say that I was expecting the staff to be a little rude and that they would give me the "look", as I'm not dressed in designer clothes from head to toe. However I didn't got that which was very nice.
So I walked into the store and to the cashier, and there was the sales person and she was really nice and asked how can they help me. I said that I would like to see the mini pochette accessoires, and then she looked at the computer looking for it. She also asked in what print I would like to see it, and I said in the monogram print. She then went to look for it at the back somewhere. Meanwhile me and my friends were just admiring the store and the products they had on display. It was GORGEOUS!! Some people were just chilling on the couches and looking at stuff and chatting with friends. It was really busy that evening, and I really liked the atmosphere of the store.
Then the sales person came back with the pochette and gave it to me to look at. I already knew that I would buy it, but still I wanted to make sure that this is what I really want, so I tried the zipper and the chain and how it can be attached etc. I told her that I was really excited as this is my first ever Louis Vuitton purchase and she told me that this is a really good product to start the collection. I then said "Okey, I think I'm gonna take this", and then she asked would I like to see something else. I had been eyeing a scarf, but decided that I'm just gonna buy this now. She gave me a registration paper that I signed and put my details on. Then was time to pay! I got really nervous that if for some reason my card wouldn't work, that would be really embarrassing. Thankgod it worked with no problems :D!
She then said that she is going to pack it for me and went to the back again. We waited for another while and she came back with my product in their paper bag, which was covered with a raincoat for the bag too. I thought that was really nice! Then we said goodbye and left the store very happy!!
Overall experience was really positive! From start to finish I felt like I was a really important customer. This was a surprise, as I "only bought something small". Remember that you are the customer and the one with the money, and the staff is the one who need your money and they are there to serve you. I hope that in the future I will give many more visits to Louis Vuitton, and receive as positive service that I got this time :)
Now for the tips!
- If you live in a country that doesn't have a shop online option (for example Finland), you can see the prices of the products from the shop online UK. Just click the United Kingdom at the beginning, where they ask for your country and simply use a currency converter to get the price of your country. The international page doesn't have the prices.
- If you are nervous, like I was, know the prints and the name of the product you are looking for! The staff at the store will however help you with these!
Do you have any tips? Have you been to Louis Vuitton and how was the experience? I would like to know!!
