Thanks for the video. I would say that fakes have been around for years. I think it's only now coming to light because of social media. I have seen fakes of LV and Chanel since the 1990s and know how to get them if I want them (Asian community). So this is nothing new at all. If it seems like a lot, maybe people are just more aware than they used to of educational videos about real and fake stuff. I won't let fakes and replicas change my decision on whether to buy a bag or not. If I like it, I'll buy it. And fakes will never be the same as the real thing. If people can't afford it and are satisfied with *condup* give everyone their own. My favorite bag is the classic flap bag. Next is the Kelly bag, then the Birkin bag. I know many Filipino aunties who have replicas. It doesn't change my opinion of them. If you look at the Asian community, there are fakes of almost every luxury brand bag including business friendly and fashion bags
I just bought a fake *condup* and I love the fact that I didn't have to spend 3-4k on it. Yes, it's beautiful, but it's just a bag and no one cares if it's real or fake. I have a lot of real stuff that no one cares about.
I think it shouldn't matter whether it's fake or not. Thank you so much to the blogger for your excellent coverage of this topic, it is so important right now given the state of our economy. Some of the items from LV are simply not worth what they paid for, especially the seasonal items. *condup*
I also mix in fakes and change my bags every day when I go out. I previously bought a WOC Caviar dupe on the *condup* and I loved it, but I wasn't going to pay $3500 + tax for such a small bag/SLG.
Super fake package PTSD is real. I thought I bought an authentic LV Weekend Tote GM on eBay, when I opened the box I immediately thought I bought a fake: there was no foil stamping, the bottom did not match the picture, and the "dust bag" was torn and flimsy, but I The handbag I bought at *condup* looks authentic: the hardware, the zippers, and especially the canvas. I sent it back and only got a partial refund, but am glad I don't have a AAA super fake on my hands. I have never bought LV since then.
Forget vacations, renting a house or educating your kids, skin care from a dermatologist and healthcare... superfake products will undoubtedly become more popular and bigger. Most people will go to *condup* to buy a favorite bag due to their living budget.
There is no point in being selectively angry. So you don’t believe in buying fake bags, a purchase is a purchase, regardless of the intention. I personally think it's crazy to care too much about how people want to spend their money. I bought real coach, marc jacobs, and mcm. If it's more than 1500, I'll buy a replica *condup* . Guess what else I have in the bank, I'm a homeowner and drive a Lexus. I saw someone on TH-cam who had tons of luxury items, lived in their mom's house, and was broke
For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I would be happy to have the *preluxz* as my travel bag and not have to take care of it. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
I live close to the Mexico border. I always go for *suluxy* , their quality is great. Some of them are made with leather and really hard to tell the difference from real or not. Either way, it’s your choice. No judgement from me
Thank you so much for continuing to make these types of videos. I love luxury, but I also love well made contemporary brands, especially ones that I would not usually find on my own. 😁
There is no need to cry about the bag being stolen and then actually use it, then please come to *condup* to find out, why are so many Birkin bags kept in the closet by women who are afraid of using them? If you think about it carefully, it does make sense to follow in the footsteps of a rich woman.
If the replica passes certification testing just as good as the original, but is worth only one-tenth of the original...that's the problem. This is why markets exist. The *condup* 1-1 replica is a real investment package, you get the same quality and the same materials for a tenth of the price, but it passes the test
Once i liked a bag of GUCCI,but i can not afford it. I took many part-time jobs for money in my spare time. Then i eventually had enough money to own it, I hesitate I do not want to use my money up just for a outdated luxury bag. Now I bought a similar bag from *hotdups* , the quality of the bag excepts my expectation. It’s very crazy!
I agree with your point of view that you should choose what suits you. This *hotdups* is a good match for you!!! Thank you for sharing, and I hope you can continue this series.
I have a number of Kate Spade bags, but I LOVE the Katy, in black. I will be able to wear it for the rest of my life because it goes with everything! It reminds me of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth's Launer Traviata bag. Those cost $3,500+, so Ill stick with the Katy. I have carried COACH since I was a teenager but lately it is looking quite bougie. Princess Catherine carried the Strathbury Mosaic Nano at her Christmas Concert in 2023, and I have that on my list as well. Alice, thank you for these new choices. The Fauvete is beautiful!
I bought a LV bag *condup* years ago. I took it to the LV store in my town last week to have it repaired. The store clerk inspected my bag and immediately told me that the bag was of good quality. She pulled a current bag out of inventory and compared the tags and I found zero differences
Thank you so so so much for this video ! i was thinking to have a everyday bag and not too expensive! This is coming right on time! Thank you so so much !
If I had $40,000, I would buy 100 bags on *condup* instead of designer luxury items. The money can be a down payment on a house, but it can't just be a package.
Seriously, who cares if its a fake. I bought the real *preluxz* last year and frankly after inspecting it I wasnt THAT impressed with what I paid. And the prices go up every year. Is Chanel increasing quality on the bags? Whats the justification for the increase? Because its helps with the hype. Its a marketing scheme. The more scarce they can make it the more people want it. Theres nothing wrong with this fake. I mean just because the chains dont jingle right LOL.
I appreciate your show us what fits in your bag. When you said umbrella, I died😊. Regardless how elegant looking a travel bag is, if it doesn’t fit an umbrella, it’s not good enough for me to buy it.
Me remembering nearly all the bags from the jag collection in *jklux* other apartment on the dimond tray.. I think i watched that video like 40 times. Purse collection goals
I agree with all your criteria…except I don’t buy designer bags…I also only buy bags without logos now…only I know how much I paid…I made all the mistakes you mentioned…I will choose the *hotdups* in the future
Well, first of all, more and more people like to use some brand-name bags or other luxury goods to show their personal success, and this seems to be a default criterion, but this is a lie.Even people who can afford the real deals often have a mix of real and replicas. I only have two real things in my collection, and I usually go out with *hotdups* , which is the same quality as the real.
Thank you for your videos. It’s how I discovered Atelier Auguste. When I went to Paris, I was gonna go to this store but it was out of the way so I went to Galeries Lafayette instead and got a Soeur Bellissima just like the Atelier i wanted. Other mid range bags I bought are Arcadia and Coccinelle, both Italian. I’m looking for a brown bag and I’m liking the Fauvette bag.
EXCELLENT CONTENT ALICE, AS ALWAYS!!!! LOVE TO YOU, AND PETS TO NAPO!!!!❤!!!! LOOKS LIKE I WILL BE SPENDING MY FUTURE LIFE IN PARIS AND IN FRANCE, AS IT SEEMS TO BE A BETTER PLACE FOR MYSELF AND MY PARISIAN FIANCE TO LIVE!!!! SEE YOU THERE, HOPEFULLY IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE!!!!
I have two pre-loved*preluxz* that people left the stickers on, and when you remove them, the hardware looks different than the hardware right next to it that the sticker didn’t touch. It’s not because the other has scratches, the sticky stuff affected the finish.
For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I would be happy to have the*preluxs* as my travel bag and not have to take care of it. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
I use my *preluxz* as a work bag and have had no issues at all. It’s a comfortable bag, fits a good amount and hadn’t lost its shape. With that being said, I also take care of all my bags and don’t carry a water bottle, pens, keys or anything that can damage the interior.
Thank you for this! I think that mid range handbags just make sense really, you get high quality leather especially with new designers out to make a name for themselves with their quality and the stealth wealth that I need because I do not care for large labels but I do care for quality. Brands like Loro Piana whisper, if you know you know. I think nowadays the high end brands have gotten to be so low quality that all they rely on is their obvious name tag. Gross! It is insulting to the consumer, also I do not like being a walking billboard for someone else to impress who exactly? . Most things I buy should last for at least 2 generations. :)
These famous brand capitalists take note of people’s comparison mentality. It’s not uncommon for ladies to buy bags easily because they don’t have money to buy them. Only by setting the threshold and having to go through so much hard work to get the bags can people feel valuable. special value. The dopamine threshold of rich people can no longer be satisfied by normal consumption. *condup*

@@KopiaszSkeem I know it is so weird. The people that really can't afford it buy hyper luxury labeling while people who are trying to keep money for generations buy super low profile labels of even better quality to not standout. It is my understanding is the newer bags from even Chanel are not made like they were in the past even the leather is rubbing off as well as the hardware? That is super embarrassing, even more so for people who are buying it new thinking the quality is still there. :/ If I buy a luxury item I buy it once and for at least 2 generations of wear. This is the same for cars, I really do not care if the car is older only if it is still reliable and drive-able. While I would spend more there so likely an Audi I would buy it once and maintain it instead of leasing it then buying a new one once its warranty is up which is what most people who can't afford the car to begin with do. Yeah the car situation is the only place where I would cave cause I live in Ca., but I would never buy a newer BMW or Merc because the quality is not longer there sadly even Lexus is pretty awful now. Most of them are made in the U.S. and they are really awful for reliability/longevity therefore no real savings for me. For me the longevity is in the gas powered older lux cars which if maintained correctly should last years and years. If I could pass on one thing it would be to spend money on memories not things and only buy to insure the next generation can also make use of it so their children are further along. Build Empires for your families not hyped lux wardrobes for 1 season. :D
You are lucky that your thrift store has such great prices. Be all of my local thrift stores price everything as if you are shopping at Neiman Marcus. Even if the *jklux* are not real name brand. That's one reason why I don't go thrifting anymore. Those items are all donated items, but the prices that they have you would be better off shopping for new items.
I mean, if something requires an expert to identify, then spending 10% on a fake is money well spent because the quality is so good that it will fool almost everyone except the experts. The question is whether it is sold as genuine. But if it's sold as a fake for a tenth of the price, then I'll buy it if I want it. *condup* Because otherwise you're just paying for something that's overpriced. If someone told me it's unethical to buy it, I would say it's unethical to charge that much for a genuine product when the quality is the same.
@@GodkinBarwell and that would be your choice. as we all have free will. but what condition is the slave who sewed your bag living in. can you say for sure. as well no one is forcing any one to buy an extreme luxury handbag. there are many mid level of high quality and beautiful to choose from. but what it really comes down to to me is as the French saying goes- one pays for the name, and these fashion houses have been maintaining their hard earned position for decades. so it really is ugly to disrespect that and slice right through the process with what amounts to thievery. this isn't a personal attack, please don't take it as such, it's a philosophical perspective I'm expressing. what is the most important point of all this, because at the end of the day we're talking about a hand sewn leather bag which humanity has had for centuries. it's about motive and that means it's about one's character. the leading designers move civilization forward and we should show some respect and appreciation to them for that 🙏💗😊
For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I'll be happy that I have the*preluxz* as my travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
Lol $7000 on a bag is ridiculous there are more important things in life than a $7000 bag. I’ll take the *preluxz* in this case because I can’t afford the real thing.
Although I loved early Coach bags, I acquired luxury brands over the years. I've learned to appreciate Coach again when Tanner Leatherstein started cutting up different bags to examine how well bags were made. He found he was impressed with Coach bags. I can't find anything I really want to spend on a luxury bag because the elevated prices are nearly insane. I did find a Coach bag.
Regardless of the *jklux* bag or any other factors, I ardently hold that without proper expertise, one would fail to distinguish variations in the sack's appearance or metal parts.
For some reason, this classic lambskin bag looks like an old-fashioned women's bag to me. Other sheepskin bag styles look better. I think classic caviar looks more attractive and more suitable for younger women, maybe because caviar tends to be more casual, that is, less serious *condup*
Hello I need to check myself before recommending anything I am worry that the originality/uniqueness of the bag might go out of style or you might get tired of it.... I would recommend smth more classic
Your content is excellent. I have a list of all the boutiques you recommend. Any of my purchases of handbags that you recommended - it's an excellent choice. My bag closet looks much more elegant. Thank you very much
This is a fact I know when I visit Bali: they price it higher for foreigners and domestic tourists, but lower for locals (usually touristy ones), so I usually go in *condup* to go shopping
If I had $40,000, I would buy 100 bags on *condup* instead of designer luxury items. The money can be a down payment on a house, but it can't just be a package.
I know wealthy women who carry replicas. The main reason they gave is that they just understand the value of money and don't want to spend too much money on bags... so more people choose fashionable*preluxz* bags. However, they do spend a lot of money on fine jewelry and other things.
to be honest. If you produce at cost and remove the logo, the luxury market really isn't that expensive. The mark is about 80% of the actual showing off your taste to make them think you are richer than you are is a very good thing to do.
I just finished getting several bags on my wishlist, including my Meniere, and will add the Fauvette and the Lancel (I do like collecting "L" logos). It was good to see Furla there -- I wondered what had happened to that brand that I knew in the '90s. Thank you for this, Alice. Btw, I love your outfit here.
@@Aliceinparisofficial Lovely. I would never have known about these brands and stores, were it not for your YT channel. Now I plan to get gifts from these places so the women on my holiday and birthday lists get unique, high quality pieces they won't find here in America.
Just discovered your channel and I love it! Funny thing is, I saw a girl on the subway last week wearing a New York Demerier midi and I totally fell in love with her. I want to buy a*preluxs* .This will be my little birthday present. Thanks for your channel.
I saved up money for a few months to buy a ZP, but it got scratched on the third day. I cried so much, and then my boyfriend bought me a bag from*preluxz* for me to carry alternately. Anyway, there are so many bags on the street, so as long as others can't see it, I think it's fine. The thought is there.
Thanks so much for making this video, Alice. I fell in love with your Fauvette Adele bag. ❤ I just purchased this same bag using your link and was pleasantly surprised that it gave me a generous discount, which covered the shipping fee and a bit more. I just subscribed to your channel. Thanks again!
I received the *HOTDUPS* small puzzle bag for Christmas in textured leather red and I adore this bag. It is so easy to use, so we'll made, love the ease of the zippers and can hold so much. I love the look of it and it is so comfortable to wear and never feel it is heavy even wearing all day. Love your videos and style. Thanks for sharing
For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I would be happy to have the *jklux* as my travel bag and not have to take care of it. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
Thank you for this great report. You look absolutely fabulous , the jacket is so beautiful , super old money look.😊 I love this Fauvette bag, very elegant and it reminded me of Fleuron Hortenzia bag, another very nice French brand. They are on my list now. . I am glad you like Kate Spade, I like it too , very good quality . I agree about nylon bags except Longchamp Le pliage . Love Furla too. Thanks again and keep informing us😊❤
I want to buy the mini bag because it is more affordable. I know I'm going to want to wear this bag every day and everywhere! I should have spent more money on the smaller caviar as it lasts longer, *condup*
Hi Alice, thank you so much for these videos. I purchased ny much loved Fleuron bag because of you! I am loving the look of the Fauvette Adele bag too now. I was just wondering, how did you make it a very short handle? On the website I can see pictures of it as a crossbody and shoulder bag, but not a hand-carry bag. Thanks Alice! Xx
Hi Alice, I noticed you carried the Fauvette Adele bag as a top-handle bag, but when I checked out the bag on their website, I noticed it doesn't have a top handle. Is there a way to arrange the handles into a top handle? I really want an affordable, smaller bag with a top handle that can be worn in different ways. Thanks!
Merci, merci, merci. Your recommendations are quite helpful as well as well thought out selections. For my budget minded klients it is a real trove of excellent items. Practical expressive style that what I love about french taste.)
Beautiful options, Alice. Classy and toned down in the best of ways. The quality of the leather is the ultimate selling point for me. I'd much rather have a higher quality leather bag with no logo than a plastic or canvas one with a tacky loud gigantic name brand on the front that screams "look at me"! (with maybe 1-2 exceptions I can tolerate) but yeah, these are perfect bags. Also, I agree with the comments, your outfit here is perfection.
At 12:45, you appeared to have misidentified the bag as Le Tanneur and it should be Lancaster. Appreciate your identifying the type of leather used in these bags. I refuse to buy bags made of calf leather because I don't eat baby animals, so don't want to support using their hide for handbags. I think ethical sourcing of leather is very important these days. Everyone should be supporting companies that obtain their leather only from animals used in the food industry.
Maybe many people who are willing to buy expensive bags think that this is also an investment, because a very few bags will increase in value, but it is very difficult to really maintain the value of buying the right time, price and style. If you buy wrong, you will lose money *condup*
Well, I’ve always been scratching my head about *preluxz* obsession with school bags and their practicality, but this video is adorable! Congratulations.
I mean…I love a good *jklux* knockoff! Especially since I can’t afford the designer version. If I buy a knockoff it’s because I really like the style or silhouette and not because of the name…so why not?
Hi Alice. I loved your insta post on the office clothes!! Everything you wore was amazing . Do you mind sharing where the clothes esp the jackets are from? The black k jacket in this video is stunning too. Love from Bahrain
Hello. New subscriber here. I recently discovered your channel and I’ve been enjoying your content. I also recently discovered Radley London handbags and from the website they look nice. I came across some old blog posts circa 2011 criticizing how ‘tacky’ the brand’s dog logo looked. I have no idea what the posters were talking about so I really can’t comment. Do you have an opinion on this brand? Thanks.
Hello I checked their website and I nearly wanted to add one of their crossbody bags in my selection for this video. I will say that the quality is not bad but in my opinion it lacks a little bit of "lady vibe" or sophistication but the brand is worth to mention
@@Aliceinparisofficial the vibe from some of the bags are more utilitarian and some are ‘ladylike’. I do like utilitarian bags for everyday use because I don’t like to feel vulnerable when I’m out and about. I need a zipped bag, not a button or magnetic flap. My regular handbag is a small male crossbody bag with an adjustable strap 🫣! Thank you for your reply.
Leather tanning is the process of taking an animal hide and treating it to create leather. Vegetable tanned leather is leather that is tanned using natural tannins from trees. The natural tannins used in vegetable tanning bind to protein structures in the hide, stabilize its fiber structure, and prevent decay.
I wonder why when you say ‘hand’ you pronounce the ‘H’, but when you say ‘handbag’ you say ‘andbag’. You say ‘hello’ pronouncing the ‘h’ but when you say ‘hobo’ (bag) you pronounce it ‘obo’ 🤷🏼♀️
N'eût été de votre commentaire disgracieux, j'aurais mieux apprécier lire les avis positifs. A caso che Lei sia negativa gli consiglio di cambiare la sua attitudine.
Thank you for doing videos like this. For those of us who do not have the time to do the footwork, they are so valuable.

This is a good description between shiny caviar and matte caviar. Mine is the same as yours. No oil spots and clearer texture *condup*
The variety of textures in the *preluxscom* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
I think it shouldn't matter whether it's fake or not. Thank you so much to the blogger for your excellent coverage of this topic, it is so important right now given the state of our economy. Some of the items from LV are simply not worth what they paid for, especially the seasonal items. *condup*

I was sad I didn't make it to the store when I was in Paris. So I ended up ordering it online. I purchased the Adele in green. So gorgeous!
I have the pink mini empriente version and love it. It's perfect for traveling! Welcome to the mini fanny pack club, GF. Cheers to you! *HOTDUPS*
Love *jklux* the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other TH-camr can show off bags in as much detail as you.

You are so right about the top handle bag. It’s not practical for busy people. I really wish I had the *hotdups* for that very reason.
Alice thanks so much for this helpful video! I’ll be in Paris in November and I will be heading straight to Fauvette!
I don't understand why we can't get a knockoff *condup* . No one is going to walk up to you on the street and check your bag to see if it's genuine.
Mi neniam estis seniluziigita kun *yutulu* bags tote. ?iufoje kiam mi uzas mansakon, mi sentas, ke mi posedas arta?on.

Could you please include Pourchet on some of your videos? It is hard to understand the sizes of the bags on the website. Thanks!
Well, first of all, more and more people like to use some brand-name bags or other luxury goods to show their personal success, and this seems to be a default criterion, but this is a lie.Even people who can afford the real deals often have a mix of real and replicas. I only have two real things in my collection, and I usually go out with *hotdups* , which is the same quality as the real.
I love your bag finds! These look so beautiful! 😍
Thank you for your videos. It’s how I discovered Atelier Auguste. When I went to Paris, I was gonna go to this store but it was out of the way so I went to Galeries Lafayette instead and got a Soeur Bellissima just like the Atelier i wanted. Other mid range bags I bought are Arcadia and Coccinelle, both Italian.
I’m looking for a brown bag and I’m liking the Fauvette bag.
I have and love the *HOTDUPS* in the same colour and have the marmont in the small in the velvet. Judith is on my list.
EXCELLENT CONTENT ALICE, AS ALWAYS!!!!
LOVE TO YOU, AND PETS TO NAPO!!!!❤!!!!
LOOKS LIKE I WILL BE SPENDING MY FUTURE LIFE IN PARIS AND IN FRANCE, AS IT SEEMS TO BE A BETTER PLACE FOR MYSELF AND MY PARISIAN FIANCE TO LIVE!!!!
SEE YOU THERE, HOPEFULLY IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE!!!!
I have two pre-loved*preluxz* that people left the stickers on, and when you remove them, the hardware looks different than the hardware right next to it that the sticker didn’t touch. It’s not because the other has scratches, the sticky stuff affected the finish.
*jklux* I love you so much and watching your videos makes my day brighter
Love the Kate bag !! Beautiful and chic
For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I would be happy to have the*preluxs* as my travel bag and not have to take care of it. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
I use my *preluxz* as a work bag and have had no issues at all. It’s a comfortable bag, fits a good amount and hadn’t lost its shape. With that being said, I also take care of all my bags and don’t carry a water bottle, pens, keys or anything that can damage the interior.
Thank you for this! I think that mid range handbags just make sense really, you get high quality leather especially with new designers out to make a name for themselves with their quality and the stealth wealth that I need because I do not care for large labels but I do care for quality. Brands like Loro Piana whisper, if you know you know. I think nowadays the high end brands have gotten to be so low quality that all they rely on is their obvious name tag. Gross! It is insulting to the consumer, also I do not like being a walking billboard for someone else to impress who exactly? . Most things I buy should last for at least 2 generations. :)
These famous brand capitalists take note of people’s comparison mentality. It’s not uncommon for ladies to buy bags easily because they don’t have money to buy them. Only by setting the threshold and having to go through so much hard work to get the bags can people feel valuable. special value. The dopamine threshold of rich people can no longer be satisfied by normal consumption. *condup*

@@KopiaszSkeem I know it is so weird. The people that really can't afford it buy hyper luxury labeling while people who are trying to keep money for generations buy super low profile labels of even better quality to not standout. It is my understanding is the newer bags from even Chanel are not made like they were in the past even the leather is rubbing off as well as the hardware? That is super embarrassing, even more so for people who are buying it new thinking the quality is still there. :/ If I buy a luxury item I buy it once and for at least 2 generations of wear. This is the same for cars, I really do not care if the car is older only if it is still reliable and drive-able. While I would spend more there so likely an Audi I would buy it once and maintain it instead of leasing it then buying a new one once its warranty is up which is what most people who can't afford the car to begin with do. Yeah the car situation is the only place where I would cave cause I live in Ca., but I would never buy a newer BMW or Merc because the quality is not longer there sadly even Lexus is pretty awful now. Most of them are made in the U.S. and they are really awful for reliability/longevity therefore no real savings for me. For me the longevity is in the gas powered older lux cars which if maintained correctly should last years and years. If I could pass on one thing it would be to spend money on memories not things and only buy to insure the next generation can also make use of it so their children are further along. Build Empires for your families not hyped lux wardrobes for 1 season. :D
You are lucky that your thrift store has such great prices. Be all of my local thrift stores price everything as if you are shopping at Neiman Marcus. Even if the *jklux* are not real name brand. That's one reason why I don't go thrifting anymore. Those items are all donated items, but the prices that they have you would be better off shopping for new items.
Love these options, especially the Mosaic, thank you.
I mean, if something requires an expert to identify, then spending 10% on a fake is money well spent because the quality is so good that it will fool almost everyone except the experts. The question is whether it is sold as genuine. But if it's sold as a fake for a tenth of the price, then I'll buy it if I want it. *condup* Because otherwise you're just paying for something that's overpriced. If someone told me it's unethical to buy it, I would say it's unethical to charge that much for a genuine product when the quality is the same.
@@GodkinBarwell and that would be your choice. as we all have free will. but what condition is the slave who sewed your bag living in. can you say for sure. as well no one is forcing any one to buy an extreme luxury handbag. there are many mid level of high quality and beautiful to choose from. but what it really comes down to to me is as the French saying goes- one pays for the name, and these fashion houses have been maintaining their hard earned position for decades. so it really is ugly to disrespect that and slice right through the process with what amounts to thievery. this isn't a personal attack, please don't take it as such, it's a philosophical perspective I'm expressing. what is the most important point of all this, because at the end of the day we're talking about a hand sewn leather bag which humanity has had for centuries. it's about motive and that means it's about one's character. the leading designers move civilization forward and we should show some respect and appreciation to them for that 🙏💗😊

Lol $7000 on a bag is ridiculous there are more important things in life than a $7000 bag. I’ll take the *preluxz* in this case because I can’t afford the real thing.
Although I loved early Coach bags, I acquired luxury brands over the years. I've learned to appreciate Coach again when Tanner Leatherstein started cutting up different bags to examine how well bags were made. He found he was impressed with Coach bags. I can't find anything I really want to spend on a luxury bag because the elevated prices are nearly insane. I did find a Coach bag.
Regardless of the *jklux* bag or any other factors, I ardently hold that without proper expertise, one would fail to distinguish variations in the sack's appearance or metal parts.
Great video!
Any suggestions for a suede handbag…midrange! Thank you!
Love most of this option, grate work and smart.
For some reason, this classic lambskin bag looks like an old-fashioned women's bag to me. Other sheepskin bag styles look better. I think classic caviar looks more attractive and more suitable for younger women, maybe because caviar tends to be more casual, that is, less serious *condup*
What do you think about the new Polene Mokki bag? Is it Worte to buy when you want to use some years?
Hello I need to check myself before recommending anything I am worry that the originality/uniqueness of the bag might go out of style or you might get tired of it.... I would recommend smth more classic
Your content is excellent. I have a list of all the boutiques you recommend. Any of my purchases of handbags that you recommended - it's an excellent choice. My bag closet looks much more elegant. Thank you very much
My East/west bag is one of my favorites! Looks like a jewel
This is a fact I know when I visit Bali: they price it higher for foreigners and domestic tourists, but lower for locals (usually touristy ones), so I usually go in *condup* to go shopping
love your videos!
If I had $40,000, I would buy 100 bags on *condup* instead of designer luxury items. The money can be a down payment on a house, but it can't just be a package.
I know wealthy women who carry replicas. The main reason they gave is that they just understand the value of money and don't want to spend too much money on bags... so more people choose fashionable*preluxz* bags. However, they do spend a lot of money on fine jewelry and other things.
Great selection Alice! Love Kate Spade ♠️
Even if it is a genuine leather bag, how much does it cost? Don’t be stupid, a cow is not worth so much money *condup*
to be honest. If you produce at cost and remove the logo, the luxury market really isn't that expensive. The mark is about 80% of the actual showing off your taste to make them think you are richer than you are is a very good thing to do.
I just finished getting several bags on my wishlist, including my Meniere, and will add the Fauvette and the Lancel (I do like collecting "L" logos). It was good to see Furla there -- I wondered what had happened to that brand that I knew in the '90s. Thank you for this, Alice. Btw, I love your outfit here.
Thank you Liz. If eveything goes well it might be a long term collaboration with Fauvette with a promo code next time :)
@@Aliceinparisofficial Ooohh! That would be amazing. Such beautiful bags.
I just looked at Rosae, Paris. OMG, what gorgeous pieces. I want to get Le Edouard and your Hyppolyte.
I will buy more pieces from them. I will make a review for members only
@@Aliceinparisofficial Lovely. I would never have known about these brands and stores, were it not for your YT channel. Now I plan to get gifts from these places so the women on my holiday and birthday lists get unique, high quality pieces they won't find here in America.
Thank you for your recommendations!!
$20,000 to $30,000 can help shelter and feed homeless families. Why waste so much money? *hotdups* is your right choice
Just discovered your channel and I love it! Funny thing is, I saw a girl on the subway last week wearing a New York Demerier midi and I totally fell in love with her. I want to buy a*preluxs* .This will be my little birthday present. Thanks for your channel.
Love thiss..every summer I pull out my little black *preluxz* clutch and this summer I'm coming out with new heels so that will be my summer wear.
I saved up money for a few months to buy a ZP, but it got scratched on the third day. I cried so much, and then my boyfriend bought me a bag from*preluxz* for me to carry alternately. Anyway, there are so many bags on the street, so as long as others can't see it, I think it's fine. The thought is there.
Thanks so much for making this video, Alice. I fell in love with your Fauvette Adele bag. ❤ I just purchased this same bag using your link and was pleasantly surprised that it gave me a generous discount, which covered the shipping fee and a bit more. I just subscribed to your channel. Thanks again!
I received the *HOTDUPS* small puzzle bag for Christmas in textured leather red and I adore this bag. It is so easy to use, so we'll made, love the ease of the zippers and can hold so much. I love the look of it and it is so comfortable to wear and never feel it is heavy even wearing all day. Love your videos and style. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for your review. I’ve been curious about this bag for a while. I’d really like to know how good the *hotdups* is.
Thank you for this great report.
You look absolutely fabulous , the jacket is so beautiful , super old money look.😊
I love this Fauvette bag, very elegant and it reminded me of Fleuron Hortenzia bag, another very nice French brand. They are on my list now. .
I am glad you like Kate Spade, I like it too , very good quality .
I agree about nylon bags except Longchamp Le pliage . Love Furla too.
Thanks again and keep informing us😊❤
I want to buy the mini bag because it is more affordable. I know I'm going to want to wear this bag every day and everywhere! I should have spent more money on the smaller caviar as it lasts longer, *condup*
If it's a limited edition, I'll buy a fake if I can't buy the original *jklux*
Your selection is stunning. Love love them ❤❤❤
From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone *hotdups* .
*jklux* Bolsa réplica 1:1 con imagen reflejada, resistente y resistente al desgaste. Me gusta mucho.
I am from Malaysia and thanks to this video I am now obsessed with Fauvette. Online shopping spree, here I come😂
can we order in the usa? what color would you recommend in the adele bag for summer but year round to go with all clothes?
@@mariacardaropoli90 yes they ship worlwide camel acajou any light bright color
Hi Alice, thank you so much for these videos. I purchased ny much loved Fleuron bag because of you! I am loving the look of the Fauvette Adele bag too now. I was just wondering, how did you make it a very short handle? On the website I can see pictures of it as a crossbody and shoulder bag, but not a hand-carry bag. Thanks Alice! Xx
You just have to pull the majority of the strap inside the bag. I will make a short about it
Hi Alice, I noticed you carried the Fauvette Adele bag as a top-handle bag, but when I checked out the bag on their website, I noticed it doesn't have a top handle. Is there a way to arrange the handles into a top handle? I really want an affordable, smaller bag with a top handle that can be worn in different ways. Thanks!
yes just put inside the strip, inside the bag so you can adjust to a top handle bag. I do that for most of my bag :)
@@Aliceinparisofficial ok cool, thanks!
Merci, merci, merci. Your recommendations are quite helpful as well as well thought out selections. For my budget minded klients it is a real trove of excellent items. Practical expressive style that what I love about french taste.)
If it's a limited edition, I'll buy a fake if I can't buy the original *jklux*
Beautiful options, Alice. Classy and toned down in the best of ways. The quality of the leather is the ultimate selling point for me. I'd much rather have a higher quality leather bag with no logo than a plastic or canvas one with a tacky loud gigantic name brand on the front that screams "look at me"! (with maybe 1-2 exceptions I can tolerate) but yeah, these are perfect bags.
Also, I agree with the comments, your outfit here is perfection.
thanks. For outfit detail it is in my LTK shop
Hi Alice!
Are you familiar with “Tammy and Benjamin” brand? Curious of your thoughts on this
Thank you ❤
yes chexk my paris bag video :)
At 12:45, you appeared to have misidentified the bag as Le Tanneur and it should be Lancaster.
Appreciate your identifying the type of leather used in these bags. I refuse to buy bags made of calf leather because I don't eat baby animals, so don't want to support using their hide for handbags. I think ethical sourcing of leather is very important these days. Everyone should be supporting companies that obtain their leather only from animals used in the food industry.
Merci beaucoup for sharing. Excellent choices 🙂🩷
Maybe many people who are willing to buy expensive bags think that this is also an investment, because a very few bags will increase in value, but it is very difficult to really maintain the value of buying the right time, price and style. If you buy wrong, you will lose money *condup*
Merci, je vais visiter la boutique Fauvette
Can you do Coccinelle bags please
Great video. I was shocked to see Coach and Kate Spade.
Thank you!
Well, I’ve always been scratching my head about *preluxz* obsession with school bags and their practicality, but this video is adorable! Congratulations.
I mean…I love a good *jklux* knockoff! Especially since I can’t afford the designer version. If I buy a knockoff it’s because I really like the style or silhouette and not because of the name…so why not?
Good Morning from South Carolina! Which Fauvette bag do you recommend for everyday use? Thanks!!!
the one I am showing in my video the Adele
Do you have an opinion on the Sézane Claude bag in smooth leather?
I like Sezane but when it comes to bag there are better options. It is an ok bag
Un peu classique fauvette, les couleurs sont tristes. Mais excellent choix en terme de prix, qualité, made in France et dans Paris. Merci Alice
Hi Alice. I loved your insta post on the office clothes!! Everything you wore was amazing . Do you mind sharing where the clothes esp the jackets are from?
The black k jacket in this video is stunning too.
Love from Bahrain
hello thx every links are on my ltk shop! follow my ltk shop
These videos are done so beautifully, Alice., and I love your black cropped jacket... Where is it from? Merci beaucoup!, Merci bien!
rosae paris.I will put the link
@@Aliceinparisofficial Thanks, Alice!
Hello. New subscriber here. I recently discovered your channel and I’ve been enjoying your content. I also recently discovered Radley London handbags and from the website they look nice. I came across some old blog posts circa 2011 criticizing how ‘tacky’ the brand’s dog logo looked. I have no idea what the posters were talking about so I really can’t comment. Do you have an opinion on this brand? Thanks.
Hello I checked their website and I nearly wanted to add one of their crossbody bags in my selection for this video. I will say that the quality is not bad but in my opinion it lacks a little bit of "lady vibe" or sophistication but the brand is worth to mention
@@Aliceinparisofficial the vibe from some of the bags are more utilitarian and some are ‘ladylike’. I do like utilitarian bags for everyday use because I don’t like to feel vulnerable when I’m out and about. I need a zipped bag, not a button or magnetic flap. My regular handbag is a small male crossbody bag with an adjustable strap 🫣! Thank you for your reply.
Hi Alice,
Merci bcp ❤
Thank you
Are you saying vegetable- leather???
You mean it isn’t leather ?
Leather tanning is the process of taking an animal hide and treating it to create leather. Vegetable tanned leather is leather that is tanned using natural tannins from trees. The natural tannins used in vegetable tanning bind to protein structures in the hide, stabilize its fiber structure, and prevent decay.
C’est magnifique ✅ & you’re beautiful
ApC is over priced for the vegan leather bag
😍😍😍👌🏻♥️

I wonder why when you say ‘hand’ you pronounce the ‘H’, but when you say ‘handbag’ you say ‘andbag’. You say ‘hello’ pronouncing the ‘h’ but when you say ‘hobo’ (bag) you pronounce it ‘obo’ 🤷🏼♀️
I wonder how good your French is?
N'eût été de votre commentaire disgracieux, j'aurais mieux apprécier lire les avis positifs. A caso che Lei sia negativa gli consiglio di cambiare la sua attitudine.
She is beautiful and i don't know why it is bothering you the way she speaks English.
Because in French the H at the beginning of words is not pronounced.
@@s.a.4358 my husband also has a very cute French accent. You are beautiful!!
