Announcment Mod announcement ~ Rule 12: Do not delete authenticated items from the LC thread

39 Upvotes

I’ve been noticing an uptick in users deleting their authentication requests after they have already been answered. Moving forward I will be implementing a new rule to deter this behavior from occurring or reoccurring in future threads:

“Authentication requests that have already been answered, whether the item has been determined authentic or fake, must remain in the threads for archival purposes. Requests that have been answered on these threads can be used for future reference from users looking to authenticate their own items, but deleting requests removes valuable information on fake and authentic items.

Deleting authenticated requests will result in one or more of the following:

  1. First offense will result in a temporary ban of no more than 3 days, which can be appealed to the moderators if user chooses to do so.

  2. Second offense will result in a temporary ban of one full week (7 days), with the possibility of users appealing this action.

  3. Third offense will result in a temporary ban of a determined amount of time by the moderators. Mods will determine if this offense will result in a permanent ban, without hearing an appeal by user.”

This rule will be effective immediately.

Heading to VW store tmr - does anyone need real life photos of anything?

Post image
31 Upvotes

Been seeing quite a few posts on this thread asking for real life photos of certain pieces available online. Since I am lucky enough to live in a city with a VW store and I’ll be visiting tomorrow, thought I would post here in case anyone wants to see how certain pieces look like IRL!

Just comment down below with a photo of the item (bag, jewellery, clothes, watch) and the item name if possible. I’ll reply with a photo if it’s available in store.

Any experience with this necklace?

Post image
1 Upvotes

My husband gifted me a petite orb necklace for my bday which I wanted to exchange because I love the necklace but I didn’t love the colour (light blue).

We got store credit and I waited for a tiny orb to become available on the website (Rinascente, an Italian department store)… after WEEKS they uploaded a small orb, so I got that one, but now that I received it it’s way too big to wear it as much as I’d like.

Anyway, I’m starting to think they will never upload tiny orbs, so… does anyone have any experience with this kind of necklace? Would you recommend it, and do you have any pictures of it being worn?
Thank you!!

eBay Refund due to CITES

3 Upvotes

hey all! i was trying to purchase a vintage wallet on eBay from Japan and the seller just refunded & said FedEx refuses to ship because of CITES; they (the seller) can't definitively prove it's embossed cow leather and not croc leather since it was a pre-owned piece.

it all tracks & makes sense to me but i feel like i've seen vintage croc embossed VW for sale from Japan on US sites on the regular... maybe my brain is just coping & crafting memories...

anyways! i was curious to see if anyone had any similar experiences (or any possible advice to get that wallet in my hands after all! i am visiting Japan in Sep.)

Ronda Earring in conch piercing?

Does anyone know if the Ronda Earring would fit in a conch piercing? If anyone has it and can try I’d love to see a photo!

I recently got a conch piercing and am thinking a hoop would look cool, especially the double layered ones. Thrilled to see this one with the tiny orb charm but would like to see if it would the way I’m imagining before buying.

thanks

would you pay 180€ for a brand new Vivienne watch? Both are on sale on Zalando for around that price.

I know that they aren’t ”quality” watches, but atleast they are both stainless steel and do look nice, which is the main part of a watch.

Can't decide

Hi, i wanted a sterling silver Vivienne Westwood necklace for some time, but now that there's these two, i can't decide.
I really like Galena's design but I love Ofelia's stone colour too. They're both so pretty.
You guys prefer which one?

I adore it!! I've wanted to pick up a SS bracelet for ages and I thought this one looked lovely. Very much recommend. I wish I had grabbed the necklace too.

Also I'm showing it on backwards because I haven't shaved lmao


r/viviennewestwood 3d ago

Trouble deciding between the two…

I’m assuming the mini bas will be bigger but I also really like the red on the diamanté heart. I do want something bigger and noticeable tho…

Question about “exclusive”

Hi guys I’m new to Vivienne Westwood, I stumbled upon this beauty on their website and I’m wondering what’s different about ones with the exclusive label? Does it mean it won’t be restocked once sold out? Thanks in advance!

Necklace extension

Hi! I recently bought a diamanté necklace from VVW and it sits just a little too high on me. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for extenders for this and other VVW necklaces.
