Just purchased the black MM with the Gold fleurs. Going to wear it daily. I buy and use these bags. Life is short. They aren’t meant to just sit on a shelf or drawer. To each their own I know but I’m using the heck out of this baby! For the price
The capucine is honestly beautiful though - at least twice as beautiful as the other LV pieces, and adds instant class when you wear it. so definitely worth the price IMO!!
Personally, I like what I like & make purchases based on that. I’m less concerned about what anyone else is carrying. I own a mini, along with other LV leathers & I love them all.
I’m going to get shot by the fashion police for saying this buuuut… I prefer the Capucines to a lot of the Hermes and Chanel bags 🙈 Not all of them, but several 😬 The baby bull thing broke my heart btw 🥺💔
Nope, you won’t get shot! 😂 I believe the Capucines is for a certain customer snd could look great if worn the right way! Just not the best for everyone! Thank you Rachel 💕
@@dialmstyle thanks so much for making all of these lovely, fun and informative videos ❤️ I died at the end when you said “I still can’t figure out what the purpose of the Capucines is” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I think it’s basically to let everyone know that you’re rich 🤣🤣🤣
I absolutely LOVE my Capucines MM - no slouching and it holds everything I need. Absolutely will continue adding these to my collection. Great video as always!
I have a mini capucines and I love it and do not regret it. None of the luxury handbags are "worth" it in money terms. I think it's worth it more than some of their canvas bags that's selling for almost 3k.
Gorgeous bags but out of my reach price wise. I have looked in the preloved market and found some in excellent condition but they were still 3500. I just adore them from afar. Thank you for sharing your perspective. ♥️
I bought the Capucines in mm with the snake handle in 2/2015 because I really fell in love with it when I first saw the style. I thought and still think it is so more beautiful than a hermes birk or kelly.
Beautiful bags BUT highly overrated in my opinion. Did they gift it to a bunch of influencers? They did that with the multi and it went crazy!!!!!! Just a chance to drain more of my dollars!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Great video! ❤️❤️❤️
For a long time, as Chanel prices have risen, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I would be happy to have a HIDUPZ as a travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one would have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
Finally sitting down to watch. I honestly love the capucines mini. It really is my style of bag. I think the mini ages better than the bigger size and holds its shape better. It is still high up on my wishlist although I am not insanely crazy about the price tag. I am still actively hunting for a deal on the resale market
I don't care for bags that don't close with a zipper which is why I wouldn't get this one, but it is pretty. I recently got the Petit Palais Bicolor Emprente and love it.
At the Inntro: the Only LV bag I would ever considder is the Cappucine. That Purple grain with the anodized/ Oil Slick hardware Unicorn, or the Artist/Arcitect seris. Really speak to me. So, Spill That Tea - I'm here for it. 😎☕💋 At the End: Yep! The Cappucine sings me the Song Of My People, I would not get an Hermes, or Dior, and I would NOT get a "Neutral" one. Now to just build a lifestyle that warrants a multi thousand dollar wearable piece of art to carry my keys, sunglasses, phone & lippy in
I went to the boutique the other day, wanted to look at the Buci and ever Lockme, but the SA pushed a couple of mini (not sure about what size) Capucines to me. One with the pearl all over, the other in taupe. IMO they’re cute but the wide strap is so not fitting the style of the bag and you’re right: that flap/closure is so questionable.
I have the mini in red. It’s my go out to dinner purse. It’s super cute but I have to take my cellphone out of its case to fit. Lipstick, keys, tiny wallet, powder, glasses (I’m old)…. That’s about it. But again, so so cute!!! $6,100, though??? I won’t buy a larger one.
Its a beautiful bag, but its definitely more for an LV collector. Not really your everyday bag. The price point is crazy, you could get 3-5 LV Canvas pieces for the price of that one bag.
What a great video and vlog! I have a GM Capucines purchased in 2014 and haven't used it and discovered that all the glazing melted. Am also aware of the problem with the 2013-2014 glazing issues and recall which I however have missed. I brought my Capucines to LV and said they couldn't repair it although my bag is in perfect condition beyond the melted glazing. They offered to replace my Capucines today 2023 with a new one but the problem is they could only replace it with the MM size as the GM is not available anymore. Any advise? Would kindly appreciate your expert professional opinion. Thanks.
@@dialmstyle Thank you so much. I have been contemplating whether to exchange it as the GM is probably "rare" ? IDK. But the damaged glazing is really making me trade it to the smaller MM. I will exchange. Thank you for your advise and for your lovely and wonderful vlog. LOVE your highly informative but also entertaining videos. Many thanks :)
Thank you so much lovely Michelle for your honest opinion about the LV Capucines. I've thought of purchasing one and your video really helped. Love your videos
I'm glad I watched this because for that much I'd rather hold off getting one until I have all my other bags. Even for evening bags I'd rather be able to do something with it. It sounds really impractical.
I think the Capucines is a beautiful bag. I found it concerning as you mentioned, the slouch. For that reason alone I wouldn’t purchase one. It’s the reason I sold my Chanel GST. I’m over worrying about using my bags and worrying about them aging. I just want to use them, enjoy them and have it not be a hassle to get in and out. Good video, thanks!
Thanks! You make some good points, i sometimes obsess over the little dents on my Chanel mini flap, and on my bvlgari, but there’s nothing I can do now…just enjoy them!
Great video Michelle. Beautiful bag but those folds would be very upsetting. The weight would also prevent me from buying this bag. My hubby is watching with me and praised you for being very responsible. He is a subscriber to your channel too. Your are very responsible! Thank you for looking out for us. Love your channel. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Spot on on the capucines!! I only like the bb size, anything bigger is horrible in the wear, I can’t stand the handle being pressed down. The mini is way too tiny to get things in and out especially when the handle is in the way. This bag is more like a show bag, not an everyday bag for me. Great review on the capucines Michelle!👍🏻 Not a bag for us who needs to run for the bus or tube and a quick tuck in to look for our travel pass🤣
I do love the style and how open it is and especially since it is offered in a wide range of exotic skins. However I do prefer the City Steamer since it is better in so many ways. As well as if I will go BB or Mini Capucines, I would rather buy a Petite Malle since it is more unique.
I use speedy or some CELINE bags for daily use. I plan to buy a capicines to attend my son's school event. I have a Chanel classic flap medium. I feel it's too big for that purpose.
I wanted to love it but the closer was a killer and the feel of it was cheap when I was in Chicago looking at it last year. However, the new mini is cute and can be worn daily to put your lipstick and keys in. As I age, I need less and less.
I loved your honest review, it was so refreshing to see the salesperson’s take to sell this bag and also the honest “I don’t understand this bag” human review lol. Definitely a new subscriber! Thank you for your amazing helpful insight!!
It is funny how I just went to see the LV website and they are marketing this bag as a daily bag. Their tag for the Capucines is "Plus u'un sac, le compagnon d'une vie" - More than a bag, a life companion. They seem to want their clients to use the capucines as a daily bag. A bag that you would take at work, lunch, dinner,.... Definitely pushing the artisanal quality and skills needed for this bag (similar to Hermes). I would want to own an artycapucines one day. Not sure which one but I love the arty capucines as a collector's piece mainly. I don't think it will be one of my most used bags if I get the artycapucines but I would love to grocery shopping with this one (call me crazy 😝😜).
@@dialmstyle I think in Paris you could. Paris is very fashionable as a city so you can go out there in haute couture outfits and yet feel normal in certain areas. I know a lot of people told me they feel more free to explore fashion in Paris but outside of Paris, I dont think it will work well.
I tried & tried this but decided not to add in my collection. Like you said, the leather is heavy and I didn't like the top opening. Thanks for sharing 🌹
Hi Michelle, thank you for another indepth review. I've been on the fence with regards to the Capucine for quite a while now. I pick it up and model it each time I go to the boutique but something makes me shy away from taking the plunge. I prefer the larger size for my build and the black with the gold embellishment on the rim is what caught my eye. I too was hassled with the folds and slouch but thought that was just me being OCD. Glad your video cleared that up! The flap is another feature that doesn't gel with me. Seems fussy and gets in the way as does the strap. I'm so glad to note that most of my concerns and doubts were addressed in your video too. I've finally moved away from the Capucine as I can't quite convince myself that it's worth the price. I opted for the Twist instead 😄 Look forward to your next video and have a great weekend ahead 🥰
Thank you Michelle! Always love your videos on the LV bags! So helpful coming from someone who use to work there and knows the ins and outs. Looking forward to the next video!
Hi Michelle. I recently subscribed to your channel. Like your honest opinion. May I get your advice for neonoe in black empre leather. Heard of any glazing issues? Thought of buying it as a daily work bag. Thank you :)
Empriente is generally more durable than the canvas. But I don’t have experience with the neonoe in empriente because it’s so new. The Epi has no glazing issues if that helps. Canvas, I have heard of issues recently. Thank you for subscribing! ✨
This bag was on my wish list for so long. But the more I thought about it, the more I was like, I don't think it works for me. I still think it is gorgeous, but the colors, the lack of functionality, the weight, the wear (slouching), the price - it all culminates in a issa no fa me. She still cute tho.
I feel they could have made it a little more competitive in price. I really think if they wanted to make it a new "it-high fashion" bag they could have introduced a mini/smaller size in a basic leather/color combination and upped the prices after a few months/weeks.
Hi Michelle, I’m a new subscriber and enjoying your reviews! Would you recommend the Speedy Bandoliere 25 or Alma BB? (Either one in Damier Ebene) I’m a crossbody girl!
Last month I bought a Capucines at the Scottsdale’s store looked at it was good they shipped it to me and when I unboxed it first thing I saw it was damaged the stitching next to the LV had come apart. I think they switch the bag. So sad I can’t buy anything LV for a long long time!!
I took the plunge and purchased a mini capucines last week. Due to Xmas, I did not unbox the bag until 2 days later when I noticed some deep scratches on one of the hardwares located on the side of the bag. For such an expensive bag, I would have expected better quality from LV. I mean why would they sell defective products to customers knowing that it will get returned and leave a negative customer experience? i am pretty sure that this bag is a return because it came without the care booklet, some of the plastic stickers protecting the hardwares were already removed and there were minor scratches on the clasps. I have since requested to my CA to get it exchanged but I am worried that they will say that I am the one who caused it and find reasons not to exchange for me. This experience left a bitter taste in my mouth and pretty much killed any thoughts of getting the capucines bb.
What is your opinion on the city steamer? I know it's not popular like the capucines, but I like the mini city steamer. It's also leather lined, right? And much less expensive than capucines.
Yes! I wasn’t aware that that bag is also taurillon, but yes, all taurillon leather is 6mm thick and heavy, the weight of it makes the bag slouch. However, because of the nature of the leather, it is very durable. Thanks for watching!
@@dialmstyle do you think a bag organizer in the grand palais will prevent the slouching or the bag will slouch over time no matter what? I love the look of the bag but don’t want the bag to look slouchy after a year or two. Thanks!
I was told by a Vuitton employee that there was a frame put inside the Capucines to prevent this. So possibly the new bag has this frame as well, but I guess there’s not really a way to know unless you use the bag! Realistically though, most bags will start to slouch 🤷🏻♀️
Sorry for the off topic, but I would like your opinion on the Victoire bag. I got one in black for my birthday last year and it's my most favorite LV bag. It's very beautiful and classy. Do you think this bag is underrated? Did you sell any at your store? I don't see many people talk about it or wearing it , TIA.
Love all your videos Michelle. I’m in Aus and they don’t seem to push the capucines here. I’m sorry I bought my pink capucines, it’s beautiful but not worth the money. My pick would be a mini capucines in croc. 😊
The SA's sort of "Push" the bag on me everytime I'm shopping at LV. Even if I'm there for a specific bag. I tell them I'm not interested but even then they will leave it on the counter while I'm paying. One SA showed me five different ones before letting me see what I came for. They are pretty to look at but lack functionality.
Thank you for the overview, it’s very useful! :) my conclusion is they the smaller sizes I would happily enjoy but the price is too high and I would rather go for a Twist or something else
@@dialmstyle I actually like it (right now)! But ive only used it two times. I got the galet so it matches everything so versatile! It was an impulse purchase. I’m also new to luxury so I don’t have anything to reference to other than the alma bb epi black which is my favorite!!!
I know this is off topic but do you have any opinions on the silk bandeau scarfs that LV sell? Worth it? Thank you for this informative video about the LV Capucines 🙂
I also have the habit of going to those websites that carry second-handed handbags to look at their condition before purchasing one new at the store. I think Capucines is not a classic but they push it as the new classic. What do you think of the LV twist one handle pm? I quite look this one.
Thank you !:) in South Korea there are so many LV consumers, but I never saw Capucine on the streets or shopping malls or restaurants… any other trend LV bag but not this one …:)
@@dialmstyle me too:) I often go to weddings, and there are so many bags!:) but not this one :) may be ppl who buy it bring it home and just look at it :)
I’m not gonna be buying this bag. I don’t like the look and functionality. With that price range, I’d go with Chanel preloved. Or the other bags you chose, the Fendi peekaboo and the YSL are both very pretty . I do love though how you explained the type of leather that was used. Great info.
Hi Michelle. I have a tween now she’s almost 12, and what would u recommend for a girl that age? 🥰😂 she’s not into designer but I would love to gift her as a surprise.
Hmmm, you disabled DISLIKES?! It’s honestly more than TWICE AS NICE as a normal LV leather bag, so it’s worth it. And you want to talk about leather and wear - the Capucines will wear much better than a thinner leather LV bag.
Hey! Thanks for telling us more about the Capucines. I am actually on the market for a new big purchase, because I’ve recently finished so many work projects. However, I think that a capucines is not going to be it for me.
The mini has been on my wishlist for a while but everytime I decide to pull the trigger I always think hmm I can get a chanel for that price. lol Even preloved the prices are high on this one.
Thank you for this video..i've been thinking of this bag for a while..and definitively..not worth it for my lifestyle...investing in saint laurent bags now..chanel is dead for me 🤪
Loved this video and true, you were very thorough. The new "It" bag they're pushing now is the Pont 9, which I guess was supposed to be the counter to Hermes's "Constance" bag. Since the Pochette Metis was so popular, this is like the higher end silhouette. Which is confusing because Ghesquierre already made the Pochette Metis in empriente which is popular in its own right.
Hi Randolph! The Pont 9 I think is in a different category than the Pochette Métis empriente, it’s a little more formal, less casual. Might explore this one next! Thank you 💕
Didn't know you worked for Vuitton. Nice to see other LV employees and get your perspective on these items. I like how when they try to push a bag, they give you the full set, you can pair your pont 9 bag with the pint 9 bag charm and pont 9 compact wallet. This can encourage a customer to come and get the full set.
@@a.e.8743 LV doesnt want customers to use one bag for everything. Part of the French mindset, is to have different bags for different occasions, and canvas is informal and originally designed for travel related reasons. Now that canvas have become too available, namely among upwardly mobile middle class sub urban mom-bag uniform, it's been loosing the elite international jet-set aesthetic, and top tier clientele they traditionally relied on for higher end items to Chanel and Hermes rivals, as the neverfulls and Pochette metis become too "common". Consequently, for Paris, if the customer won't make the right decision, Paris will force the decision by restricting production for some items, and encouraging higher end leathers through their sales associates who are told to push them. Capucines are not meant for sub-urban mom's. It's for executive level and wealthy women to flex and stand out from a sea of canvas. Not everyday wear and tear.
@@randolph1917 This is very well said. The one bag for everything simply does not work. Having lived in France I can definitely see this. Even guys who don't care about fashion still have a pretty diverse wardrobe (some work clothes, casual clothes, a couple suits for occasions,...). For the canvas bags I see them a lot, as I started going back to the office, I sat down at the secretary's corner and I was shocked to see that all of them either came to work with the canvas speedy or neverfull. Those canvas bags are also quite popular for students. Every time I go to store I see some university students getting a neverfull or discovery backpack. I do not get to see a lot of capucines though (I only saw a couple in the LV stores) but not a lot in the city center. I have even seen a couple people with exotic Birkin/Kelly but not a lot of capucines.
The capucine is the only LV bag I own (aside the keepall which I never use) and would ever buy from Louis Vuitton. The monogram canvas is too juvenile for my taste and too out there. I don’t understand why someone should pay a lot of money for canvas instead of leather but to each their own. As for the wear, I store it with bag pillows. I have the BB size in black and galet and thinking of the mini size but at the same time I reach for my Baby sac de jour more than I reach of the capucines and the Sac de jour is cheaper and fits alot. I still love the capucines tho, very grown up and dressy.
The Capucines is the only LV bag I really like, but the price increases are just crazy. $7500 for the actually-usable size that very recently was around $5000? That's a rip off. I can't imagine many people are choosing the Capucines over a Chanel or Dior bag.
I dislike the guitar strap that comes with the mini size. It is very elegant bag and then you have this super casual strap that is not adjustable. The guitar strap trend makes no sense to me when you have small bags. Has prevented me from buying multiple bags.
I know what you mean...I thought I was the only one that didn't like that guitar strap! I mean, it's okay on my lululemon bag for when I'm golfing, but when I'm dressed nice, I don't want that big web strap!
I think you have a problem with your previous workplace and you’re trying to settle the score here on your channel. The bag is a work of art and is definitely worth the money in comparison with other brands. None of the handbags from high end fashion designers is worth the money if it weren’t for the statement it makes.
Just purchased the black MM with the Gold fleurs. Going to wear it daily. I buy and use these bags. Life is short. They aren’t meant to just sit on a shelf or drawer. To each their own I know but I’m using the heck out of this baby! For the price

I love the mini Capucines for its cuteness and the bb for its practicality. But the slouch and high price point is deterring me from buying the bag.
I think you make excellent points, but I can't help but long for a black BB with silver hardware ever since the first day I saw it 🙈
Totally ok to feel that way!
Same. Exactly
Agree, I lusted over the capuccines when it first came out but it was so heavy! Also that flap.. I also feel like I would rather the peekaboo 💕💕

I don't think it will be one of my most used bags if I get the artycapucines but I would love to grocery shopping with this one (call me crazy 😝😜).
Yes, it’s pushed as an every day bag…when clearly it’s not!
@@dialmstyle I think in Paris you could. Paris is very fashionable as a city so you can go out there in haute couture outfits and yet feel normal in certain areas. I know a lot of people told me they feel more free to explore fashion in Paris but outside of Paris, I dont think it will work well.
Crazy but I like it
😂that was the dose of advise I needed❤the diagnosis I needed to hear😅that helps❤
I tried & tried this but decided not to add in my collection. Like you said, the leather is heavy and I didn't like the top opening. Thanks for sharing 🌹
I don’t picture this for your style sis! Best spend on Chanel instead!
I am just here to say I appreciate and love Michelle. You are sooooo approachable.
🥰🥰🥰 thank you, that is super sweet and makes me feel good 😊
Couldn’t have agreed more. It’s a very special occasion kind of bag imo.
It’s a beautiful bag! Definitely would have it if I had money to burn!
Hi Michelle, thank you for another indepth review. I've been on the fence with regards to the Capucine for quite a while now.
I pick it up and model it each time I go to the boutique but something makes me shy away from taking the plunge. I prefer the larger size for my build and the black with the gold embellishment on the rim is what caught my eye.
I too was hassled with the folds and slouch but thought that was just me being OCD. Glad your video cleared that up!
The flap is another feature that doesn't gel with me. Seems fussy and gets in the way as does the strap. I'm so glad to note that most of my concerns and doubts were addressed in your video too.
I've finally moved away from the Capucine as I can't quite convince myself that it's worth the price. I opted for the Twist instead 😄
Look forward to your next video and have a great weekend ahead 🥰
I’m so glad I addressed your concerns! The Twist is great and I think a more stylish and versatile bag! Thank you Nina! ❤️
Thank you Michelle! Always love your videos on the LV bags! So helpful coming from someone who use to work there and knows the ins and outs. Looking forward to the next video!
I hope this helps your decision!
@@dialmstyle definitely helped! Thank you!
Hi Michelle. I recently subscribed to your channel. Like your honest opinion. May I get your advice for neonoe in black empre leather. Heard of any glazing issues? Thought of buying it as a daily work bag. Thank you :)
Empriente is generally more durable than the canvas. But I don’t have experience with the neonoe in empriente because it’s so new. The Epi has no glazing issues if that helps. Canvas, I have heard of issues recently. Thank you for subscribing! ✨
@@dialmstyle Thanks for the advice 🤗
Hi Michelle! I’ve been loving your videos recently! I have my final interview with LV next week, do you have any tips? Thank you!
Look at my past videos…I have a few on what it’s like to work there and one about the hiring process!
Thank you, this is so helpful.
This bag was on my wish list for so long. But the more I thought about it, the more I was like, I don't think it works for me. I still think it is gorgeous, but the colors, the lack of functionality, the weight, the wear (slouching), the price - it all culminates in a issa no fa me. She still cute tho.
I hear ya!
Great content, thanks for sharing!
I feel they could have made it a little more competitive in price. I really think if they wanted to make it a new "it-high fashion" bag they could have introduced a mini/smaller size in a basic leather/color combination and upped the prices after a few months/weeks.
Hi Michelle, I’m a new subscriber and enjoying your reviews! Would you recommend the Speedy Bandoliere 25 or Alma BB? (Either one in Damier Ebene) I’m a crossbody girl!
Both! As a cross body I lean toward Alma, but you can’t go wrong! Thank you for subscribing ❤️
Last month I bought a Capucines at the Scottsdale’s store looked at it was good they shipped it to me and when I unboxed it first thing I saw it was damaged the stitching next to the LV had come apart. I think they switch the bag. So sad I can’t buy anything LV for a long long time!!
Ugh that’s not good for such an expensive item!
I took the plunge and purchased a mini capucines last week. Due to Xmas, I did not unbox the bag until 2 days later when I noticed some deep scratches on one of the hardwares located on the side of the bag. For such an expensive bag, I would have expected better quality from LV. I mean why would they sell defective products to customers knowing that it will get returned and leave a negative customer experience?
i am pretty sure that this bag is a return because it came without the care booklet, some of the plastic stickers protecting the hardwares were already removed and there were minor scratches on the clasps. I have since requested to my CA to get it exchanged but I am worried that they will say that I am the one who caused it and find reasons not to exchange for me. This experience left a bitter taste in my mouth and pretty much killed any thoughts of getting the capucines bb.
What is your opinion on the city steamer? I know it's not popular like the capucines, but I like the mini city steamer. It's also leather lined, right? And much less expensive than capucines.
I was going to incorporate this bag in the video too but it might get its own. It’s not well known, but it’s a classic timeless shape.
@@dialmstyle Oh, would be great if you did.
So helpful! The grand Palais bag is also taurillon leather and it looks slouchy. Is that the problem with all taurillon leather?
Yes! I wasn’t aware that that bag is also taurillon, but yes, all taurillon leather is 6mm thick and heavy, the weight of it makes the bag slouch. However, because of the nature of the leather, it is very durable. Thanks for watching!
@@dialmstyle do you think a bag organizer in the grand palais will prevent the slouching or the bag will slouch over time no matter what? I love the look of the bag but don’t want the bag to look slouchy after a year or two. Thanks!
I was told by a Vuitton employee that there was a frame put inside the Capucines to prevent this. So possibly the new bag has this frame as well, but I guess there’s not really a way to know unless you use the bag! Realistically though, most bags will start to slouch 🤷🏻♀️
Sorry for the off topic, but I would like your opinion on the Victoire bag. I got one in black for my birthday last year and it's my most favorite LV bag. It's very beautiful and classy. Do you think this bag is underrated? Did you sell any at your store? I don't see many people talk about it or wearing it , TIA.
If it’s your most favorite…enjoy it!
Keep up the gud work and keep the vids coming
❤️
Always great videos! I think it was fate you worked at LV and giving us the TRUTh❤! 😊
Aw thank you!
Thanks for this detailed review. Looking at the pre-loved market. New subbie here. Cheers💝
Thanks for the sub 💕
I love mine so much it’s a great bag!
Thanks 🙏🏽 for the advice michell
Thank you for watching💕
Love all your videos Michelle. I’m in Aus and they don’t seem to push the capucines here. I’m sorry I bought my pink capucines, it’s beautiful but not worth the money. My pick would be a mini capucines in croc. 😊
Hi Petrina! I’m sorry to hear that it’s not worth the money, but yes, they are beautiful!
The SA's sort of "Push" the bag on me everytime I'm shopping at LV. Even if I'm there for a specific bag. I tell them I'm not interested but even then they will leave it on the counter while I'm paying. One SA showed me five different ones before letting me see what I came for. They are pretty to look at but lack functionality.
Yep, sounds like it’s the corporate initiative to sell this bag!
Always love to hear ur opinion n thoughts
Thank love ❤️
Holy shit. After all the peice increases bb model is $8600 Canadian.
Btw, subscribed. Love your cost per use logic and metrics in all videos.
That’s a ridiculous amount of money, especially for this type of bag! Thanks for subscribing!
Thank you for the overview, it’s very useful! :) my conclusion is they the smaller sizes I would happily enjoy but the price is too high and I would rather go for a Twist or something else
I just bought this last summer wish I saw this video first!
do you love it or no? I'm curious...
@@dialmstyle I actually like it (right now)! But ive only used it two times. I got the galet so it matches everything so versatile! It was an impulse purchase. I’m also new to luxury so I don’t have anything to reference to other than the alma bb epi black which is my favorite!!!
@@dialmstyle i will say, if it ends up getting slouchy I’ll be so upset….I got the bb size so hopefully it won’t
that is what I call review. excellent job
I know this is off topic but do you have any opinions on the silk bandeau scarfs that LV sell? Worth it? Thank you for this informative video about the LV Capucines 🙂
I have a video a few months back…it’s about how to tie a bandeau and I talk about it there… ☺️
@@dialmstyle thank you so much! I searched it and found it!!!! Super helpful ❤️❤️
I also have the habit of going to those websites that carry second-handed handbags to look at their condition before purchasing one new at the store. I think Capucines is not a classic but they push it as the new classic. What do you think of the LV twist one handle pm? I quite look this one.
Oops, quite like this one
Thank you for your honest opinion :)
Thank you !:) in South Korea there are so many LV consumers, but I never saw Capucine on the streets or shopping malls or restaurants… any other trend LV bag but not this one …:)
I don’t see it much here either, not as an every day bag! But I don’t see it much in formal occasions either!
@@dialmstyle me too:) I often go to weddings, and there are so many bags!:) but not this one :) may be ppl who buy it bring it home and just look at it :)
I’m not gonna be buying this bag. I don’t like the look and functionality. With that price range, I’d go with Chanel preloved. Or the other bags you chose, the Fendi peekaboo and the YSL are both very pretty . I do love though how you explained the type of leather that was used. Great info.
Have you seen the new Capucine MM in black box leather? I don't think it will slouch
I’ve heard from the client advisors that they are making improvements to reduce the slouch!
Hi Michelle. I have a tween now she’s almost 12, and what would u recommend for a girl that age? 🥰😂 she’s not into designer but I would love to gift her as a surprise.
I bought my 12 year old a bag from Charles and Keith.
@@dialmstyle will look into that brand. TYSM!
How do I properly clean it? I don’t want to ruin it
Hmmm, you disabled DISLIKES?!
It’s honestly more than TWICE AS NICE as a normal LV leather bag, so it’s worth it. And you want to talk about leather and wear - the Capucines will wear much better than a thinner leather LV bag.
UM TH-cam no longer shows dislikes…and don’t be offended…thanks for watching! ☺️
Hey! Thanks for telling us more about the Capucines. I am actually on the market for a new big purchase, because I’ve recently finished so many work projects. However, I think that a capucines is not going to be it for me.
Hi Robin! I wonder what is next!! Thank you for watching! 💕
They have been out of stock online on their website for months! I want the black with the gold flowers
Love the content
❤️❤️
The mini has been on my wishlist for a while but everytime I decide to pull the trigger I always think hmm I can get a chanel for that price. lol Even preloved the prices are high on this one.
Yes! I would love one, but would not actually pay the price!
I have to say it's a beautiful bag
Thank you for this video..i've been thinking of this bag for a while..and definitively..not worth it for my lifestyle...investing in saint laurent bags now..chanel is dead for me 🤪
Same here! YSL for me, I’m priced out of Chanel!
Loved this video and true, you were very thorough. The new "It" bag they're pushing now is the Pont 9, which I guess was supposed to be the counter to Hermes's "Constance" bag. Since the Pochette Metis was so popular, this is like the higher end silhouette. Which is confusing because Ghesquierre already made the Pochette Metis in empriente which is popular in its own right.
Hi Randolph! The Pont 9 I think is in a different category than the Pochette Métis empriente, it’s a little more formal, less casual. Might explore this one next! Thank you 💕
They pushed Pont 9 too hard. It’s a turn off for me. I would go with a Celine classic box.
Didn't know you worked for Vuitton. Nice to see other LV employees and get your perspective on these items. I like how when they try to push a bag, they give you the full set, you can pair your pont 9 bag with the pint 9 bag charm and pont 9 compact wallet. This can encourage a customer to come and get the full set.
@@a.e.8743 LV doesnt want customers to use one bag for everything. Part of the French mindset, is to have different bags for different occasions, and canvas is informal and originally designed for travel related reasons. Now that canvas have become too available, namely among upwardly mobile middle class sub urban mom-bag uniform, it's been loosing the elite international jet-set aesthetic, and top tier clientele they traditionally relied on for higher end items to Chanel and Hermes rivals, as the neverfulls and Pochette metis become too "common". Consequently, for Paris, if the customer won't make the right decision, Paris will force the decision by restricting production for some items, and encouraging higher end leathers through their sales associates who are told to push them. Capucines are not meant for sub-urban mom's. It's for executive level and wealthy women to flex and stand out from a sea of canvas. Not everyday wear and tear.
@@randolph1917 This is very well said. The one bag for everything simply does not work. Having lived in France I can definitely see this. Even guys who don't care about fashion still have a pretty diverse wardrobe (some work clothes, casual clothes, a couple suits for occasions,...). For the canvas bags I see them a lot, as I started going back to the office, I sat down at the secretary's corner and I was shocked to see that all of them either came to work with the canvas speedy or neverfull. Those canvas bags are also quite popular for students. Every time I go to store I see some university students getting a neverfull or discovery backpack. I do not get to see a lot of capucines though (I only saw a couple in the LV stores) but not a lot in the city center. I have even seen a couple people with exotic Birkin/Kelly but not a lot of capucines.
Thank you so much love your Makeup so beauiful
The capucine is the only LV bag I own (aside the keepall which I never use) and would ever buy from Louis Vuitton. The monogram canvas is too juvenile for my taste and too out there. I don’t understand why someone should pay a lot of money for canvas instead of leather but to each their own. As for the wear, I store it with bag pillows. I have the BB size in black and galet and thinking of the mini size but at the same time I reach for my Baby sac de jour more than I reach of the capucines and the Sac de jour is cheaper and fits alot. I still love the capucines tho, very grown up and dressy.
The Capucines is the only LV bag I really like, but the price increases are just crazy. $7500 for the actually-usable size that very recently was around $5000? That's a rip off. I can't imagine many people are choosing the Capucines over a Chanel or Dior bag.
I also think the current MM size looks like it is what used to be the PM size? Very confusing. The old MM size seems to have disappeared.
You are right, pass on the Capucines and go for a Miss Dior or Chanel is what I’m hearing!
hi, what do you think about the neonoe? is it worth it?
Hi! Please refer to my video “What to buy first!” Thank you!
En el momento en que vi el bolso LYXBAGS, supe que tenía que tenerlo.
I live in New York, thank you very much. I like LYXBAGS
I went into the store for the first time with an on my side and the lady was pushing the capucines so hard
You are their prime candidate for the Capucines!
@@dialmstyle thanks for replying!! Just finished the entire video and you brought up so many great points. Love your videos!!
In every video,you always say if anyone wants to give me this bag as a gift.haha
Lol I do… unashamedly 😂
Not my favorite handbag 👜. I am truly a monogram person. I also have a speedy 25 DE, and Alma PM DE I don’t think I use them enough. Might sell them.
I dislike the guitar strap that comes with the mini size. It is very elegant bag and then you have this super casual strap that is not adjustable. The guitar strap trend makes no sense to me when you have small bags. Has prevented me from buying multiple bags.
I know what you mean...I thought I was the only one that didn't like that guitar strap! I mean, it's okay on my lululemon bag for when I'm golfing, but when I'm dressed nice, I don't want that big web strap!
LYXBAG I love you so much and watching your videos makes my day brighter
Hermes Clemence are supposed to slouch. I love a slouchy bag
I think you have a problem with your previous workplace and you’re trying to settle the score here on your channel. The bag is a work of art and is definitely worth the money in comparison with other brands. None of the handbags from high end fashion designers is worth the money if it weren’t for the statement it makes.
❤️ 😌
💕💕
Price is now over 6k for the small size 🥺
Crazy, right?!? Omg 😱
The mm for me is more practical.
