Finally found someone who is practical regarding luxury handbags! And who has their own style, it seems like everyone just makes videos about the same handbags, they're walking around like a bunch of clones lol! If I see another Chanel, Never Full video I'm going to scream lol! This was so refreshing and I am so glad you got exactly what you were looking for. Its cuter than the pochette metis. Subbing x
Been binge watching your videos! I agree with you on LV’s epi leather, I have 2 (alma and speedy) that dates back in the 1990’s and they look good as new!!
Nearly all my luxury brand bags are preloved or vintage and I love them. Good for you to expand this topic. It makes things so much more interesting than the usual LV Neverfulls and Chanel flap bags - lovely as they are it's so repetitive & frankly boring :-)
Karena Lowe same here! I counted and more than 75% of my bags are preloved and vintage. My collection simply would not be what is without the preloved market. I simply would not be able to afford all 12-13 bags in collection at full price. I hope these picks help you! Thanks so much for watching!
Qiani Davenport thanks so much! There are a TON of great bags out there, and I think that not enough of them get the credit they deserve. Thank you so much for watching 😊
thanks so much, I'm glad they're helping you! PS the Tango is a great bag. I've seen lately that people are adding the mono strap that I have to it aas well
I just bought my first item from The Real Real (which I looked at thanks to you): a magenta Kate Spade handbag. I'd fallen in love with the color on a less practical Marc Jacobs bag I couldn't afford at the time, but the Kate Spade bag was both in my price range and more practical in size and shape.
Clairelaferret That makes me so happy to hear!!! The Real Real is hand down the place where I shop. I actually just got another package today, haha! I feel like not enough people know about them! I'll be doing a giveaway soon, and I always send out gift cards to TRR, stay tuned! 💗
I love your taste!! This video is great! I found this after turning to the pre-loved market because my recent first time store purchase was a disaster - they mixed up my purchase and gave me someone else’s. 😜 I was so shocked and turned off. What condition category do you typically buy? I’m just so nervous that I can’t see them in person, so I end up looking at Excellent and Like New. My current hunt is for the LV Papillon 30 with the mini. How much do you think is an ideal price to pay for this? The range is so broad.
thank you so much, watching this makes me rethink on buying and saving money for luxury bags, I think its good idea on buying preowned more so that I'm just starting on collecting bags. YOU made me fall in love with saint cloud. new sub here
Yes! I am all about saving money! I always check there first. They have actually rereleased the Saint Cloud, but I don't like the new one. This is literally one of the most practical bags I own! Plus I think it's the only one in my collection that has an outside pocket! And their pricing is great! Thanks so much for watching 💗
This is great! Love the variety here! My first preloved LV was an epi leather speedy 25 in Kenyan fawn and I also scoured until I found a meaningful year date code. Love your channel!
I looooove my vintage St Cloud. My mother let me have hers and it's such a great useful bag. My back pocket has peeling too - one day I'll have to see what I can do about it because it's the perfect size for a phone!
I just noticed that mine has residue now when I put paper into the pocket! Oh well, it's a vintage piece, I suppose it's to be expected Your so lucky you got yours from your mom! My bag and I will be 27 this year =)
That is awesome that you were able to find a bag that was born the same month and date that you were born. Seeing you do that has given me the idea to try and buy an LV for my daughter the same month and year that she was born.She is only 10 now but I will keep it safe for her until she is old enough to take care of it. Thank you so much for this wonderful idea.
+The Luxury Hunt that is such a great idea! Something like the Batignolle (which I think is around 10 years old) would be a great. This bag I love because it's insanely practical.
Thank you again for the great suggestion of the Batignolle. This bag is super cute and very practical. I have managed to find several from 2007, but have yet to find it in March... I am sure it is just a matter of time until I find one. This will be the perfect 16 or 18 birthday present for her. I will keep you posted.
Hi Katherine , loved yr vid as it was just my style , old school lv was esthically more prettier than what they hv today . Hoping to see more vids like yours
My Daily Sweet its my favorite right now! I remember watching your unboxing and modshots, it was super helpful! It has really taken me more than a year and a half to find my year, it was just luck that by the time I did find one, it happened to be my month too! Thanks for watching
Helle there - new subie here. I love your videos...........I've been binge watching for the last couple days. Your content is very realistic, honest and refreshing. I want to purchase the LV Saint Cloud GM however I can't seem to find one in acceptable condition.....any recommendations? I've tried all the sites you listed. Should i be patient on this one? LOL, LOL
Hello :) I am looking for the same St cloud as you are girl !!! We've talked before I don't know if you remember it was at your very beginnings ahah I was wondering, could you please tell me what fits inside because I haven't found anything on that subject.. thanks !
Rebecca hi! I cannot recommend this bag enough, I did a bag spill over on my IG a while back (@mskwshops) but it’s perfect for me for days when I don’t have to carry my iPad. I’ll add this question to my Q&A video coming up. Stay tuned!
Markeysha Perry omg best deal ever!!! Malleries is some where that I always forget bc usually their prices are way high. I will definitely remember them on my next haul! Congrats and thanks so much for watching!!!
I had many YSL Downtown totes since it first came out, in the large and medium size. They were extremely well made and I adored the edgy chic style of them. BUT the Downtown bag is definitely not a practical bag! It does not fit on the shoulder. Only if you are very slim (as you are) and don't need to wear a coat you can carry it on the shoulder, but it is definitely not comfortable that way.
Hi! I'm just not very familiar with the buying process with the Japanese sellers (plus, I'm not familiar with the import and duties process) and not only that, a lot of the time their prices will be lower than anything I've ever seen. Thanks so much for watching!
KWShops hi. Thank you for replying. I recently just came back to Japan and found that the pre-loved market here is so incredible. As you said, the price here is much lower especially LV bags. I also found that the conditions are so great as well. There are so many pre-loved shops here. It is illegal to sell fake brand name stuff in the country so the products can't be fake neither. It was funny for me because people in Japan are skeptical to buy pre-loved bags from oversees and non-Japanese are afraid of buying things from Japan. No complain girl! I get it! We are afraid of the unknown.
Also, the monogram print is not as popular here in Japan. It is considered more for really young people like high school, college kids. I think that's part of why the price here is really low when re-sales.
The StyleSynonym I actually surprised they are so relatively inexpensive. And there are a ton of them out there online, definitely consider them. Also, they come in varying degrees of wear, so be sure and review the photos carefully first! Thank s so much for watching!!
you can prolong the life of the leather so much by caring for it properly. Would even consider bringing it to a leather specialist to make a professional treatment :)
Most likely, we are on different wavelengths! Because I ABSOLUTELY do not understand why women pay hundreds & even thousands of $$$ for these designer bags. I find them so boring and uninteresting, and definitely not worth the price. They are nothing more than snob-appeal hooks, overpriced 100-200 times, for those who allow themselves to be fooled. I would rather spend this kind of money for hi-tech gadgets or for nice vacations.

If you have a bag that is missing the pouchette LV sells it as a replacement part for around $240, much cheaper then buying preloved.
Excellent tip! Thank you
Is this still true?

Hi! I love your channel. I love that you talk about the pre loved market & don't talk about the same bags as everyone else.
Qiani Davenport thanks so much! There are a TON of great bags out there, and I think that not enough of them get the credit they deserve. Thank you so much for watching 😊
Thanks for sharing 💖 I've considered the Chelsea...and might need to add it to my list! 💕 The noe is one of my favorites! 😍
I was able to score a Louis Vuitton Pochette Accessories Vintage for only $175! So awesome! Love japan sellers 👍🏼
I have been looking into this lv st cloud and also the pochette tango:) as always thanks for the tips...love watching your channel

Your St. Cloud LV bag is lovely. It looks fabulous on you! I have been considering this bag and you have made up my mind to buy it. Thank you.

Thank you for all your great tips. What is the bag behind you? The black with tassels and rivets?
Great taste!
My bagintolles is square w short straps vertical. Did you find yours yet?
I love the batingnolle, but I decided to pass. About a year or so after filming this I bought a MacBook and now need something bigger
That is awesome that you were able to find a bag that was born the same month and date that you were born. Seeing you do that has given me the idea to try and buy an LV for my daughter the same month and year that she was born.She is only 10 now but I will keep it safe for her until she is old enough to take care of it.

Hi Katherine , loved yr vid as it was just my style , old school lv was esthically more prettier than what they hv today . Hoping to see more vids like yours
Suria Preba agreed! Lately I've been hating everything they put out! I think my LVs will be vintage for the foreseeable future unfortunately 😓
Hii! Can you tell le where the date code is in the st cloud? I saw one in a vintage shop and could find it inside. Thanks :)
+mnoel9 it should be on the interior front corner. Google this bag fashionphile and it will show you photos of many different bags. How that helps!!
Yay, you got the Saint Cloud! I love it so much, it's such a wonderful piece :)
My Daily Sweet its my favorite right now! I remember watching your unboxing and modshots, it was super helpful! It has really taken me more than a year and a half to find my year, it was just luck that by the time I did find one, it happened to be my month too! Thanks for watching

Mybagoftheday some of my coats don't work with any shoulder bags, I know what you mean!
Thanks for watching!
So awesome for you to do this type of video. Luxury could be vey nice if you you do enough digging.
Hi, I've always loved watching your videos. Could you tell me why you mentioned, not including Japanese sellers on eBay? Thanks!
Hi! I'm just not very familiar with the buying process with the Japanese sellers (plus, I'm not familiar with the import and duties process) and not only that, a lot of the time their prices will be lower than anything I've ever seen. Thanks so much for watching!

Cherry Blossom Interesting to know this. Learn something new everyday!
Love the vintage St. Cloud. Really beautiful! I've never seen it before.

Congrats! I'm petite so I found an MM in great condition on Mercari for $300. Enjoy! 😉
Krista K of the Saint Cloud? I'm so in love with it! I was inches away from buying the MM. thanks for watching!!
KWShops you waited for the right size! I'm only 5'2" 100 lbs so the mm was good for me!
you can prolong the life of the leather so much by caring for it properly. Would even consider bringing it to a leather specialist to make a professional treatment :)
Your real real link takes people to the wrong site
+rmorris910 oh no! I'll fix it, thanks for telling me!
