I just bought from Fashionphile for the first time this month and was very nervous as well! Like you, I had a good experience and now have a huge wishlist! 🤪
I love the suede! Suede smells so good! Velvet is a lovely texture too…probably depends which colour/shape is best for you. It gets slouchy too with wear but yeah you don’t need both. 😂
I called UPS. They said they would contact that branch to report the issue. They were very apologetic and said (not to excuse it) that often the weekend drivers are part-time extra drivers. For future fashionphile packages I'll try to avoid it arriving on the weekend since I work from home. If it's coming from the NY store, I'll order earlier in the week.
OMG! that purple is stunning! gives me carrie vibes without the sequins/worry. it's an amazing purchase. also, you can drive to FP! wtf! im jelly. i would be there every wknd lol or at least once a month. im debating between a chanel 19 black lamb in either large or medium. i would love to try in person. i guess i can eat the 14.99 to ship it back. but wow, being able to drive is way better. i love buying from FP. however these are the things ive noticed: 1- condition/damage pics. sometimes they say very good and its excellent and yey score! other times like what happened to me with my red sherling chanel i got from their lunar sale said excellent very light rubbing with pics showing minimal rubbing turned out to way more, so it should had been marked as very good condition. i didnt return it because it was a steal, i can move the sherling to cover it, and i couldnt find it anywhere else. 2-Pricing, look around different sites because sometimes they do price higher than most, example charging more for very good versus another site charging less for excellent. 3-Reselling to them is not good, ive seen very low balling and their refresh program also lowballs you. 4-Return within those 15 days from the shipped date or else it's refresh and it's a very low amount.
I have been just once. It was crowded, and I found it hard to enjoy browsing, but I'll need to go on a quiet day! Thank goodness the smoke smell has eased up. It's no long detectable unless I really put my nose in there to look for it.
I have no experience at all with fashionfile (think they don’t ship to Germany) - but I have plenty of bad experiences with Vestiaire Collective, as you might now 😅
Oh I love the look of suede and velvet bags but I've never been game enough to take the plunge! Great colours you chose! I'm loving that gold chain on the purple one (even though it wasn't in the listing haha)
Thank you! I would highly recommend velvet if you're still tempted by it. I do a quick lint roll before taking it out because of my cats, but it's been very easy to keep in good condition! 💜
Both are so pretty but that purple has something extra! I personally think the FP nail is trash 😂 my wishlist gets deep on FP sometimes and then I trim it down. But there are always things on it. ❤
These are both gorgeous AND some of my favorite colors! You made a great choice! 💜 Looks fabulous. 😊 You’re so right we all have different shapes/styles that flatter us. For the same reasons you stated, I’d have gone with the suede. I might have to look up that one now!
Just watched the very end… so you might keep the blue too. Can’t go wrong! (The older bags ARE better.) And maybe you’ll save me from buying a new bag I don’t need right now, since I have one on order & don’t even know if I’ll like it yet. 🙌

That's awesome! I'm glad it worked out for you as well 😊❤️

I'd still love to find a suede piece. Maybe a slouchy shoulder bag 😊
You seriously need to complain to UPS. It your package had been stolen what recourse would you have? He faked your signature. That's no ok.

For some reason I didn't think of carrie, but that's so true!! I've always been too nervous about the sequin pieces. Velvet has been really easy! 💜
Both bags are stunning xx
Thank you! I love both colors 😊
So pretty in purple😃…..smoke smell I would not be able to handle however😟 ps have to been to the fashionphile in nyc?

I love them both. A Fendi baguette is on my wish list this year. 💜
I hope you find one you love! I'd like to find a classic vintage one, maybe with embellishments on it.
Wow!!! You got two stunners! I can see why you would return the suede and keep the velvet-it's beautiful!
Thank you Eva! I'm glad I kept the velvet 💜
I have no experience at all with fashionfile (think they don’t ship to Germany) - but I have plenty of bad experiences with Vestiaire Collective, as you might now 😅
It's a shame about Vestiaire. They always pop up when I search for vintage Fendi.
Definitely think you made a good choice!
Thanks! I'm very happy with my choice so far 😊

The purple baguette really is an amazing buy!! 😍
Thanks Hazel! I think this will look amazing with a purple coat 😄 Just pile on the purple! 💜
Very responsible of you to return the suede one. Velvet bag is very special. Congrats 👍🏼
Thank you! It felt like the best decision, and then I can put that money towards something I'm certain of 😊

I've slowed down on my obsessive browsing (thank goodness), but I still keep an eye on my wishlist and a few alerts 😄❤️
Love the purple!
Thank you, Lisa! 💜

Thank you! I did end up returning the blue one, but I have seen smaller versions of it. I'm very tempted by those!
Both bags are super beautiful and you made a great choice with the keeper 💜
Thank you Mary!! 💜
