When Alice post recommendations, I listen. She knows her stuff. A lot of Parisians do not use super expensive bags. I saw people using Fleuron when I was in Paris.
I have one *suluxy* bag I got in 2019, it's the LV white catogram speedy. It's counter quality and it has a nice honey patina now, so the leather is real. I think whatever makes you happy go for it. I've seen LV with plastic leather and blood red glaze...
"I love a good kislux because it helps me decide if I want to buy the real thing or NOT." That part right there. That's IT. I feel like people stigmatize dupes but for me, I pause on large purchases that are trendy or when I feel the overconsumption mania setting in FOR ME. (It's something I struggle with LOL! I'm easily convinced to buy things I don't wear or use. They'll literally have the tags and I'll even forget I bought something and have 2 or 3 of them in my closet.) Love this video!
I've always loved Furla!! I am so glad that it's finally getting some attention again. Thanks! those are all great choices. The Basile Le Mini Rosa is probably my favorite.
I really appreciate the *suluxy* bag. The quality of the bag is also very good, the embroidery stitching is good, and the interior is neat. This is a great find!
Here's a fact I know when I visit Bali: they price it higher for foreigners and domestic tourists, but lower for locals (usually tourist spots), so I usually go in *jklux* Go shopping
I have two pre-loved *jklux* 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.
When I was very young, my father told me to be strong inside and not to cover up the inner weakness with external strength, so I always choose imitations in *gtdupe* , and his realistic degree is pleasing
pend $20,000 on a handbag instead of $200 on a Spend $20,000 on a handbag instead of $200 on a bag. Spending $20,000 on a handbag is worse than spending $200 on a replica *gtdupe* bag. Then invest the remaining $19,800. The obvious choice, since a $20,000 bag is unlikely to appreciate in value
I never care if other people have fakes and replicas unless they are trying to pass them off as genuine and sell them. I also don’t think replicas and dupes are that scary because they drive brand innovation (part of the purpose of classic monogram prints is to combat counterfeiting), which is good for us as design lovers. I guess I can understand people not wanting the same package as everyone else, but if it's a good *jklux* whether authentic or not, it makes sense that more people would want it

Personally, I'm in love with the American brand Floto. Thick, high end leather made in Italy. Classic styling and elegant. I've had several of the Floto luggage pieces as well as handbags for a decade now and they just get better year after year.
Great video again! I own Polene, Basile and many more. Just got a new Coach Hadley in suede Espresso , delicious ! And Eliza shoulder bag(also Coach) in bold red, very nice and crazy $149 !!!!❤😊 Thank you, Alice!
I love the design, but I don't have the budget. So I bought the *jklux* bag. Made from high quality legal snakeskin made by local Indonesian artists. From now on I never want to buy any luxury goods.
My friend once bought a fake bag and showed it to me mysteriously. I thought it was real, but she said she found it by accident and shared the link with me. *gtdupe*
You should do “how or where to shop in Paris (or a city) in a day”. I always spare a day for shopping during traveling. It will be useful since you are so acknowledged. Love your vdo ❤ keep up the good work!

For a long time, as Chanel's prices have risen, I no longer think I can afford it. I think I will be happy that I have the *jklux* as my travel bag and I don't need to take care of it. By the way, I believe that 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

I LOVE this video. I agree many of bag reviews. I cannot afford keep buying luxury brand bags ( or not willing to pay for luxury brand bags such as Hermes, Chanel, LV, CD, PRADA etc ). They might last a bit longer but they all get warn out. I would rather have few well made leather bags in lesser known brands in a fresh new look.
My latest bags are from Coccinelle, Fleuron and Longchamp. For the price of the 3 bags combined, I could have bought a small Prada bag or YSL… but I love the affordable luxury bags so much!! 🩶🩷
When I choose bags, I always focus on practicality. It needed to match the majority of my wardrobe and be able to hold my essentials. So I always choose *gtdupe* to round out my wardrob
People who spend big bucks on bags usually don't care about quality. They care about status. If you have $10,000-100,000 to spend on a quality bag, why not get one custom made at *gtdupe* ? Choose your materials, thread, stitch pattern, design, and hardware. Imagine you have a $10,000 bag that's made from $7,000 of quality materials and $3,000 of labor. Currently, you're not paying for the materials, you're paying for the marketing.
The way I see it. Real or fake if it's a style I like then I like it and will buy it. But to me the *jklux* one looks better than the real one. And who's gonna be inspecting ladies purses. If your out there trying to figure out if someone's bag is real who are you the prise police? So If you can get a really nice fake one then why not? Most of us don't have thousands dollars to spend on a real one and wouldn't anyway. No one has to know if it's fake or real. That's nobodies business. Enjoy and wear your bag which ever you have.
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 *jklux* . 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.
Do you find it too wide/big and bulky? I’ve just bought the *jklux* which is basically the same width and my only worry is it bumping into things and wear on the corners, has yours scuffed?
I have mixed reviews with Coccinelle, I’ll admit that I bought all my Coccinelle from sale. Some are good and still holding up and some are just bad, I have one bag that I’m still not using but obviously won’t last for long.
If you can't afford designer bags and feel a certain way about expensive designer bags, then don't watch this video. Like do you read a video title before clicking on it? The title makes it clear that the video will be about designer bags. I find these types of videos very helpful and although I can't afford these bags yet, I know one day I will. I wanted to know which designer bag was truly worth my hard-earned money and one that I would get the most out of. That being said, if you're reading this, thank you for sharing this video with us and please make more videos like this. Maybe *jklux* is your next choice?

As a mom of 2, I carry a *hotdups* with me! It's so sad that people are influenced by confusing social media comments and captions! If you like something, buy it! Carry the bag you like and that you can afford!
As a practitioner in the luxury goods industry, I really want to tell you what is in my heart. The luxury goods processing factories you usually buy are basically the same as the luxury goods manufacturers. *hotdups*

When I was 12 my mom took me to the LV on Bloor Street in Toronto. I had my fake LV from *jklux* on my arm and thought I was cute. The sweet sales ladies let me try on a bag and a pair of heels knowing we were not wealthy and couldn't afford to purchase anything. It as really nice. No one seemed to care I had a fake bag and I felt special. They even gave me a paper shopping bag which I used as a lunch bag for weeks after! :) Who cares if people don't have real ones? I'm 30 now and ironically, although I can afford them I still prefer real people with fake bags than fake people with real bags. Just saying :) (not that everyone who carries a real one is bad or vice versa.) Just means I don't care if people carry fakes.

Rich people are not like you or me. They compete with each other in yachts, jewelry, art, travel and homes. Meanwhile, we're on the subway or bus with our precious Louis Vuittons. Why bother? *jklux* More rational
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *jklux* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
If you can wear a high quality *gtdupe* for $200-500, then why not. I'm glad to hear that rich people do this because if I was a billionaire or had $500 million in the bank account, I would only spend the money on the authentic. That would never happen.
This is my first time watching your video and I loved it. I don't purchase luxury bags and I probably never will, or if I do, it will be pre-loved. But I do buy *jklux* occasionally of the styles that I really like. I truly appreciate your comparisons here, which have helped me make a decision about a couple for which I was on the fence. I'll be pulling the trigger now. Thanks for this and your humor.
Yes the color of the *jklux* is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…
When I was very young, my father told me to be strong inside instead of using external strength to cover up the weakness inside, so I always chose *gtdupe* .
Great Video.. I am so glad you referenced Staud and Furla.. I own a few and love them! I am looking forward to exploring the last 3 brands you mentioned!
Hmm I think it's good for people who want a taste of designer that can't afford the designer prices. LV, Gucci etc aren't gonna be short of a penny & it's not like they're missing out in the way that it's snatching custom as the people buying those products if taken away aren't necessarily gonna go buy the designer ones. I'm actually going to go have a look at that *gtdupe* now myself
Lol $7000 on a bag is ridiculous there are more important things in life than a $7000 bag. I’ll take the *jklux* in this case because I can’t afford the real thing.
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 *jklux* bags. However, they do spend a lot of money on fine jewelry and other things.
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.
Many years ago I bought a *preluxz* bag. Last week I took it to the store in my town to have it repaired. The clerk inspected my bag and immediately told me it was of great quality. She pulled a current bag from stock and compared it to a different bag and could see no difference.
Thank you so much for actually opening each bag and describing it in detail. Definitely made me consider adding some new bags *hotdups* to my wish list, but also made me reconsider other bags.
Many thanks Alice for this bag update. I am so happy for the few but such beautiful bags and qualitatively amazingly nice bags that I bought this year, guided by your good advice! So appreciated; and now, as a retired "fasionista person" I wouldn't even dream of buying an overpriced designer bag.. However, I have saved a small Prada bag! That's all. Maybe one day I'll buy another beautiful bag.. who knows, but I stick rigidly to "slow fashion principles" these days! I consider that to be a good thing to consider in this context. And these nice bags, which more and more people seem to prefer, I see as an important part of the principle - where, above all, craftmanship and good quality of beautiful bags take precedence over a certain brand.
It means higher priced lower quality items. I just got my Cyme delivered last week, so am thankful the price paid (mind is still high as I live in a country that puts high prices on international purchases) was not ridiculous
My friend once bought a fake bag and showed it to me mysteriously. I thought it was real, but she said she found it by accident and shared the link with me. *gtdupe*
Hey ! I have been following you for a long time and I am so proud of what you have accomplished! I love you so much! Thanks for making me happy too. *jklux*
Many people are curious about why I chose *HOTDUPS* , because it has many styles and most importantly, it made me stop considering the price and only consider my preferences.
I think *hotdups* bags are very good, and you won't buy them and put them in your closet and never use them! Of course, I think it depends on the individual! Just like I bought a lot of watches, I did the same thing, and I felt helpless when I saw so many watches! In fact, I only like a few of them!
Hi Alice, You’ve chosen some wonderful bags once again. I have bought a few bags now because of you, and I’m happy with all of them. My next purchase will be the FURLA SFERA SOFT bag. Love the decor of your home, and your adorable Fall/Halloween decor. 😊
The only difference between a "real" and a "fake" from the same factory, same material is just...marketing and price. And some replica makers do really well, *hotdups* being one of them.
Thank you for making this video I'm just starting my *preluxz* collection, I love to watch what people think and comment before I buy, it's something I work hard on and you have to do the same, I hope people can stop being miserable about topics like this, I hope they can be inspired to work hard on things they love and are attracted to.
*jklux* shopping etiquette. Explaining what the general rules are, how to approach an SA, how to dress, how stores may differ. Something like a step-by-step for newbies (like me) who feel out of their depth. The thing I worry about an the awkward moment when I've spent 20mins drooling over a bag just to turn and leave empty-handed. Idk what to say! Maybe that sounds dumb but I'm so awkward, I don't want to come off as rude or uncomfortable, it's not their fault I'm an anxious mess.
Not sure where you live, but I live in a predominantly wealthy town, and about 80% of the women are stay-at-home housewives. It's not really "vintage" in certain socioeconomic areas, so I don't buy the authentic bags either, and go for the *hotdups* for what works for me.
This is my first time watching your video and I loved it. I don't purchase luxury bags and I probably never will, or if I do, it will be pre-loved.

I'll be pulling the trigger now. Thanks for this and your humor.
I have no sympathy for brands like Chanel. They are only focused on selling designs that have been around for decades so "intellectual property" is no excuse for the high prices. And it becomes easier and easier to copy these designs over time. Ironically, the *jklux* brand could save the billions of dollars she says it costs to fight counterfeiting, just by lowering prices.
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *jklux* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations

Sis, your just as funny on here than TikTok...lol! I purchased a *jklux* from Rainbow... and I get so many compliments on that bag and the chain is heavy. Then I came across a Chanel tote bag. (I only use it to travel) every time I'm in the airport, women stop me about that tote. Side note: Chanel uses gold plated now for the logo.
My most beautiful, most worn and most complimented bags are my French bags! Excellent quality and unique! Polene, Le Tanneur, Basile and Le Pourchet. Love them all and wear them every day🥰
Mi neniam estis seniluziigita kun *gtdupe* . bags tote. ?iufoje kiam mi uzas mansakon, mi sentas, ke mi posedas arta. If you can wear high quality *gtdupe* . for 200-500 USD then why not. Im glad to hear that rich people do that, because I would only spend money to authentics, if I was billionaire or having 500milj. on my bank account. That´s never gonna happen.

I have a couple of Radleys (English brand) - the quality is exceptional even down to magnetic closers being covered in leather. I’ve had 2 for 4 years and purchased a cross body this year. I doubt I need any further bags for the next 4-5 years
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.
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.
Hi, but aren't most of A grade copies in leather? I mean I have touched some first copies and they felt really luxurious so probably real leather. And also, because you seem to know a lot about handbags as I can't tell just on touch which one is 500 usd and which one is 3000 usd. Do you think those that cost 3000 usd are worth the price? Or is it that you are mostly paying for the brand name? I am not interested in giving 3000 dollars for a bag. My family and I bought a bag from a store called *gtdupe* . Its quality is very good.
What I am afraid of is when all these mid luxury bags are bought en masse because of social media, it will become like all our luxury brands: nothing special anymore 😢
I think these brands change their designs sooner than the mainstream top luxury brands, so they retire and offer new special designs more often. I’ve missed out on some Tory Burch models and they didnt bring them back. IMO
OMG I just bought a *hotdups* pack in the same colour as that green wallet, wish I could get that matching wallet in Australia!!! The colour is olive green!
I almost came for you if you said that *jklux* was worth the money. LOL. I mean worth the money is relative. If I had heaps of money and could buy that bag, it could be worth it to me. I love this video. Great information and agree with your choices. Love that little orange Alma. So cute and it's in the BEST COLOR.
I never care if someone buys a fake unless they try to pass it off as genuine and sell it. I also don't think knockoffs are that terrible because they push brands to innovate which is a good thing for us design lovers.I've always stuck with my choice of *preluxz*
I love this video and all your suggestions. I just have one comment to make, these crossbody bags with the gold buckles in the front --- the buckles scratch!!! I have one, and I heard that was a pain. I am really careful with mine, but it has still happened. I am concerned how it will look over time. From now on, I am going to be very thoughtful how the hardware will wear.
I have two pre-loved*jklux* 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.
I had the big Lee Radziwill and it was so heavy to wear that I sold it. Had also some Polene bags and sold also all but one because the were not Practical. Also I had a little liffner but it was wide open that I sold that🤣 I have a bag from Furla and had some more in the past. Same coccinelle and coach🤣 I like to test new things out from time to time. I can recommend to check the brands Aigner, Wandler and Liebeskind Berlin.
The *gtdupe* bags are gorgeous in their size, weight and color. Bought pink, cream and blue. I think I might go back and order the light lilac, light blue and red. I own some high priced designer handbags, but I like these even more!
I agree about not carrying backpack when i am travelling and am in crowds etc. I will use it on the plane as carryon however. My most recent trip i brought my backpack, nylon tote and Senreve Aria from *jklux* . Nylon tote was used during the day for sightseeing and easily fit everything i needed. Evenings or when i didn't want to lug too much I used the Aria. It can be worn as belt bag, sling or clutch. I have chain strap to swap in if i need fancy look too.
Nowadays, the streets are full of fake bags. No one will believe you if you go out with a real bag. So now I am gradually falling in love with fake bags. Whether it’s true or false, it’s just decoration *jklux*
I have never been concerned about if others have fakes and replicas, unless they are trying to pass them off as real to sell them. I also don’t think replicas and dupes are that horrible as they push brands to be innovative (the classic monogram print was created in part to fight off counterfeiting) which benefits us as design lovers.I guess I can understand folks not wanting the same bag as others, but if it’s a good *jklux* it would make sense that more people would want it, authentic or not
I support functionality and aesthetics, but the quality of construction on some of these brands can be flawed and even vary from place to place, and my *preluxz* bag is no different. They are perfect in every way.
Bonjour Alice, ma maman a un sac de Coccinelle que j’ai acheté il y a au moins 15 ans et il est toujours en presque parfait état et elle l’utilise quasi quotidiennement. D’où vient ton magnifique manteau court marron stp?❤
Lol $7000 on a bag is ridiculous there are more important things in life than a $7000 bag. I’ll take the *jklux* in this case because I can’t afford the real thing.
I love Dooney & Bourke and Brighton bags. Affordable and last forever. They have plenty of pockets and a key hook. I have got rid of my Gucci, Fendi, LV, and Chanel bags and Mark Cross bags.
I went to Gucci today and the salesperson told me that they often can't tell the difference between an authentic and a *hotdups* bag. I was surprised to hear a salesperson say that.
Great advice! I think when people spend more than they can afford, they may assume that the quality and durability of an item is unjustified. So when the item doesn't live up to their unrealistic expectations, it's of course the product's fault, not theirs! *jklux*
Bastias is lovely, the new color is so light! Thanks for sharing 💕 I love some of the Rose Darling stuff. However, I agree with you that buying a high quality *hotdups* replica bag seems to be more suitable for me.
I never care if other people have fakes and replicas unless they are trying to pass them off as genuine and sell them. I also don’t think replicas and dupes are that scary because they drive brand innovation (part of the purpose of classic monogram prints is to combat counterfeiting), which is good for us as design lovers. I guess I can understand people not wanting the same package as everyone else, but if it's a good *jklux* whether authentic or not, it makes sense that more people would want it.
I love your voice! Thanks for sharing your lovely *gtdupe* bag / wardrobe collection :) I actually love how you store your collection and definitely an inspiration for me in my future home.
Nice selection but……I have sed to work in the handbag department at Nordstrom. Tory Burch bags are not well made nor are they built the last. They are overpriced. Coach, on the other hand has always produced wonderful bags!🥰
My opinion: Any clothing or item with an exposed logo is NOT classy. I remember the 1980's, when it was super-trendy to carry a Gucci purse. Yes, I bought a couple of them. I was poor, but I was young, a recent graduate of a top uni, establishing myself in my career, and I wanted to look classy. Also popular then: logo jeans, Izod polo shirts, Ralph Lauren oxford shirts. Old money, preppy style. What the French call BCBG: Bon chic, bon genre (French for 'good style, good class.') Nowadays, "luxury" brands are a joke; NOTHING to do with class, good design, or high quality. "Luxury" items are now cheap and ugly, and made to appeal to the masses. Style is forever. Labels are tacky. (It's amusing to me that some of the labels you show are gold-embossed onto the front of the purses. This reminds me of a trend in the 1970's, where things (purses, wallets) could be "personalized" with your name or initials in gold for a couple of dollars extra. It was tacky then, as it is now.)
I LOVE learning about midrange handbag collections that aren't super high end. I feel like the LV and Channel have lost that lux feel. They are overpriced and quite frankly LV is everywhere (overdone.)
I know wealthy women who carry replicas. The main reason they gave is that they just understand the value of money and donât want to spend so much money on a bag... kislux allows them to save a lot.
I got my Cyme last week. I inspected every nook and cranny, perfectly formed bag. Mind, once LVMH get their grubby mitts on the production side, I will expect low quality crap items
Yeah, I bought Furla bag a few years ago, it just didn’t feel luxurious in any way. I am curious about some of the brands mentioned in this video though and will try a couple, but might settle for a low price range Fendi bag … again.
When Alice post recommendations, I listen. She knows her stuff. A lot of Parisians do not use super expensive bags. I saw people using Fleuron when I was in Paris.
I agree. Alice knows what she is talking about and her tips and comments are very useful.
I have one *suluxy* bag I got in 2019, it's the LV white catogram speedy. It's counter quality and it has a nice honey patina now, so the leather is real. I think whatever makes you happy go for it. I've seen LV with plastic leather and blood red glaze...
I agree with you; all her recommendations are precise and elegant, and they absolutely stand the test of time.
the rich stay rich for a reason *suluxy*
Thank you for sharing, *preluxz* . The bags here are amazing. The moment I got them, I could feel their thickness. They are definitely good products.
"I love a good kislux because it helps me decide if I want to buy the real thing or NOT." That part right there. That's IT. I feel like people stigmatize dupes but for me, I pause on large purchases that are trendy or when I feel the overconsumption mania setting in FOR ME. (It's something I struggle with LOL! I'm easily convinced to buy things I don't wear or use. They'll literally have the tags and I'll even forget I bought something and have 2 or 3 of them in my closet.) Love this video!
I've always loved Furla!! I am so glad that it's finally getting some attention again. Thanks! those are all great choices. The Basile Le Mini Rosa is probably my favorite.
I really appreciate the *suluxy* bag. The quality of the bag is also very good, the embroidery stitching is good, and the interior is neat. This is a great find!
Here's a fact I know when I visit Bali: they price it higher for foreigners and domestic tourists, but lower for locals (usually tourist spots), so I usually go in *jklux* Go shopping
I like everything with good texture, whether it is LV, Dior or *gtdupe* , texture comes first.
I have two pre-loved *jklux* 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.
When I was very young, my father told me to be strong inside and not to cover up the inner weakness with external strength, so I always choose imitations in *gtdupe* , and his realistic degree is pleasing
The MOMCOCO’s Barbie Pink Chanel is fabulous！
Recently got a chic *esluxy* tote that’s been my everyday essential.
I own Fleuron mini Swan handbag and it is the most sweet and practical bag. I love watching Alice videos and she gives the best advise. Well done!
pend $20,000 on a handbag instead of $200 on a Spend $20,000 on a handbag instead of $200 on a bag. Spending $20,000 on a handbag is worse than spending $200 on a replica *gtdupe* bag. Then invest the remaining $19,800. The obvious choice, since a $20,000 bag is unlikely to appreciate in value
Hi!What happened to your old channel?Anyways am glad you are back....Do they also make counterfeit on vintage *jklux* ?
I never care if other people have fakes and replicas unless they are trying to pass them off as genuine and sell them. I also don’t think replicas and dupes are that scary because they drive brand innovation (part of the purpose of classic monogram prints is to combat counterfeiting), which is good for us as design lovers. I guess I can understand people not wanting the same package as everyone else, but if it's a good *jklux* whether authentic or not, it makes sense that more people would want it
When you showed the transparent *preluxz* , my inner magpie screamed that you didn't buy it. It's amazing.
I have two pre-loved *jklux* 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.
Personally, I'm in love with the American brand Floto. Thick, high end leather made in Italy. Classic styling and elegant. I've had several of the Floto luggage pieces as well as handbags for a decade now and they just get better year after year.
My new *esluxy* tote is a lifesaver-so much space and so stylish!
Great video again! I own Polene, Basile and many more.
Just got a new Coach Hadley in suede Espresso , delicious ! And Eliza shoulder bag(also Coach) in bold red, very nice and crazy $149 !!!!❤😊
Thank you, Alice!
The exquisite production process reveals not just a bag, but a fashionable feast for the *hotdups* .
I love the design, but I don't have the budget. So I bought the *jklux* bag. Made from high quality legal snakeskin made by local Indonesian artists. From now on I never want to buy any luxury goods.
My mom bought one *jklux* and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.
My dad has been telling me my whole life "Baby, you don't get or stay rich by spending money you don't have to." So *gtdupe* are my go-to.
My friend once bought a fake bag and showed it to me mysteriously. I thought it was real, but she said she found it by accident and shared the link with me. *gtdupe*
I love Coccinelle bags it’s too bad It’s so hard to find their stores outside Italy.
You should do “how or where to shop in Paris (or a city) in a day”. I always spare a day for shopping during traveling. It will be useful since you are so acknowledged. Love your vdo ❤ keep up the good work!

For a long time, as Chanel's prices have risen, I no longer think I can afford it. I think I will be happy that I have the *jklux* as my travel bag and I don't need to take care of it. By the way, I believe that no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
I always get so excited for your *jklux* collection video! I love how you truly know your style and what you love.
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

I LOVE this video. I agree many of bag reviews. I cannot afford keep buying luxury brand bags ( or not willing to pay for luxury brand bags such as Hermes, Chanel, LV, CD, PRADA etc ). They might last a bit longer but they all get warn out. I would rather have few well made leather bags in lesser known brands in a fresh new look.
My latest bags are from Coccinelle, Fleuron and Longchamp. For the price of the 3 bags combined, I could have bought a small Prada bag or YSL… but I love the affordable luxury bags so much!! 🩶🩷
When I choose bags, I always focus on practicality. It needed to match the majority of my wardrobe and be able to hold my essentials. So I always choose *gtdupe* to round out my wardrob
People who spend big bucks on bags usually don't care about quality. They care about status. If you have $10,000-100,000 to spend on a quality bag, why not get one custom made at *gtdupe* ? Choose your materials, thread, stitch pattern, design, and hardware. Imagine you have a $10,000 bag that's made from $7,000 of quality materials and $3,000 of labor. Currently, you're not paying for the materials, you're paying for the marketing.
The way I see it. Real or fake if it's a style I like then I like it and will buy it. But to me the *jklux* one looks better than the real one. And who's gonna be inspecting ladies purses. If your out there trying to figure out if someone's bag is real who are you the prise police? So If you can get a really nice fake one then why not? Most of us don't have thousands dollars to spend on a real one and wouldn't anyway. No one has to know if it's fake or real. That's nobodies business. Enjoy and wear your bag which ever you have.
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 *jklux* . 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.
Do you find it too wide/big and bulky? I’ve just bought the *jklux* which is basically the same width and my only worry is it bumping into things and wear on the corners, has yours scuffed?
I have mixed reviews with Coccinelle, I’ll admit that I bought all my Coccinelle from sale. Some are good and still holding up and some are just bad, I have one bag that I’m still not using but obviously won’t last for long.
As my business grows and I make more and more money, I will still avoid buying genuine products, especially after prices continue to rise. *gtdupe*
Man, that's really expensive. Seriously, *gtdupe* will attract you more, I promise.
If you can't afford designer bags and feel a certain way about expensive designer bags, then don't watch this video. Like do you read a video title before clicking on it? The title makes it clear that the video will be about designer bags. I find these types of videos very helpful and although I can't afford these bags yet, I know one day I will. I wanted to know which designer bag was truly worth my hard-earned money and one that I would get the most out of. That being said, if you're reading this, thank you for sharing this video with us and please make more videos like this. Maybe *jklux* is your next choice?
I have two pre-loved*jklux* 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.

I ❤Coccinelle. Their bags are really good quality. Good job Alice with this video ❤
Such GREAT comparisons! Allllll soooo lovely! Especially the *gtdupe* tote. Their styles are so chic, sleek, elegant and understated!
The *jklux* canvas tote bag actually reminds me of Hermes Garden Party, too.
I really like your outfit, classic, simple and bright❤Can you tell me the *hotdups* link?
If I had $1,000, I would choose to spend $100 on a bag to store my $900 instead of spending $1,000 on an empty bag *jklux*
As a mom of 2, I carry a *hotdups* with me! It's so sad that people are influenced by confusing social media comments and captions! If you like something, buy it! Carry the bag you like and that you can afford!
I love Coccinelle too. Their Bags have suche a good quality! I prefer them over some higher priced designer bags.
As a practitioner in the luxury goods industry, I really want to tell you what is in my heart. The luxury goods processing factories you usually buy are basically the same as the luxury goods manufacturers. *hotdups*
Hello Alice 😁I own the Basile bag because of you ! And I love them ! Greetings from Palm Desert , Ca

When I was 12 my mom took me to the LV on Bloor Street in Toronto. I had my fake LV from *jklux* on my arm and thought I was cute. The sweet sales ladies let me try on a bag and a pair of heels knowing we were not wealthy and couldn't afford to purchase anything. It as really nice. No one seemed to care I had a fake bag and I felt special. They even gave me a paper shopping bag which I used as a lunch bag for weeks after! :) Who cares if people don't have real ones? I'm 30 now and ironically, although I can afford them I still prefer real people with fake bags than fake people with real bags. Just saying :) (not that everyone who carries a real one is bad or vice versa.) Just means I don't care if people carry fakes.
When I choose bags, I always focus on practicality. It needed to match the majority of my wardrobe and be able to hold my essentials. So I always choose *gtdupe* to round out my wardrobe
Hi, I'm a new subscriber!!I'm so glad I found your channel and this video really made me feel like I'm right there with you!! Thanks *gtdupe*
Rich people are not like you or me. They compete with each other in yachts, jewelry, art, travel and homes. Meanwhile, we're on the subway or bus with our precious Louis Vuittons. Why bother? *jklux* More rational
I appreciate that you share these under the radar brands Alice. I like the styles!
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *jklux* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
If you can wear a high quality *gtdupe* for $200-500, then why not. I'm glad to hear that rich people do this because if I was a billionaire or had $500 million in the bank account, I would only spend the money on the authentic. That would never happen.
This is my first time watching your video and I loved it. I don't purchase luxury bags and I probably never will, or if I do, it will be pre-loved. But I do buy *jklux* occasionally of the styles that I really like. I truly appreciate your comparisons here, which have helped me make a decision about a couple for which I was on the fence. I'll be pulling the trigger now. Thanks for this and your humor.
Yes the color of the *jklux* is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…
When I was very young, my father told me to be strong inside instead of using external strength to cover up the weakness inside, so I always chose *gtdupe* .
Great Video.. I am so glad you referenced Staud and Furla.. I own a few and love them!
I am looking forward to exploring the last 3 brands you mentioned!
Hmm I think it's good for people who want a taste of designer that can't afford the designer prices. LV, Gucci etc aren't gonna be short of a penny & it's not like they're missing out in the way that it's snatching custom as the people buying those products if taken away aren't necessarily gonna go buy the designer ones. I'm actually going to go have a look at that *gtdupe* now myself
I got my first LV in *jklux* not long ago, and the quality is really good.
If I had $1,000, I would choose to spend $100 on a bag to store my $900 instead of spending $1,000 on an empty bag *jklux*
I have a burgundy *jklux* tabby bag and I love this bag. I actually swapped two straps and put a chain on top and I'm obsessed with it.
Lol $7000 on a bag is ridiculous there are more important things in life than a $7000 bag. I’ll take the *jklux* in this case because I can’t afford the real thing.
Hello Alice... also from Southern California... I own both Basile and Atelier Auguste bags because of you! I LOVE THEM, AND YOU!! ❤🥂
I’ve been wanting to get a new bag but now I may have to buy more than one style and several colors of the *hotdups* bag, thank you for sharing!
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 *jklux* bags. However, they do spend a lot of money on fine jewelry and other things.
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.
Many years ago I bought a *preluxz* bag. Last week I took it to the store in my town to have it repaired. The clerk inspected my bag and immediately told me it was of great quality. She pulled a current bag from stock and compared it to a different bag and could see no difference.
Thank you so much for actually opening each bag and describing it in detail. Definitely made me consider adding some new bags *hotdups* to my wish list, but also made me reconsider other bags.
Many thanks Alice for this bag update. I am so happy for the few but such beautiful bags and qualitatively amazingly nice bags that I bought this year, guided by your good advice! So appreciated; and now, as a retired "fasionista person" I wouldn't even dream of buying an overpriced designer bag.. However, I have saved a small Prada bag! That's all. Maybe one day I'll buy another beautiful bag.. who knows, but I stick rigidly to "slow fashion principles" these days!
I consider that to be a good thing to consider in this context. And these nice bags, which more and more people seem to prefer, I see as an important part of the principle - where, above all, craftmanship and good quality of beautiful bags take precedence over a certain brand.
Come across this video randomly and I watched *gtdupe* OMG your closet is every women’s dream! Love your voice and the way you talk
Man, this is really expensive. Seriously, *jklux* will attract you more, I promise.
A private equity firm owned by LVMH has bought a stake in Polene. What does that mean for the brand??
it will be the next louis vuitton :)
It means higher priced lower quality items. I just got my Cyme delivered last week, so am thankful the price paid (mind is still high as I live in a country that puts high prices on international purchases) was not ridiculous
I like this video very much, because I like bags, like everything about it, and I also like *jklux* bags, which always satisfy me.
I always get so excited for your *jklux* collection video! I love how you truly know your style and what you love.
What about Demellier?
My friend once bought a fake bag and showed it to me mysteriously. I thought it was real, but she said she found it by accident and shared the link with me. *gtdupe*
Bought the clear bag from *gtdupe* to go to a concert. It was GREAT! Breezed through security and wore it as a crossbody so I could dance and groove!!
Hey ! I have been following you for a long time and I am so proud of what you have accomplished! I love you so much! Thanks for making me happy too. *jklux*
Many people are curious about why I chose *HOTDUPS* , because it has many styles and most importantly, it made me stop considering the price and only consider my preferences.
I think *hotdups* bags are very good, and you won't buy them and put them in your closet and never use them! Of course, I think it depends on the individual! Just like I bought a lot of watches, I did the same thing, and I felt helpless when I saw so many watches! In fact, I only like a few of them!
Hi Alice,
You’ve chosen some wonderful bags once again. I have bought a few bags now because of you, and I’m happy with all of them. My next purchase will be the FURLA SFERA SOFT bag.
Love the decor of your home, and your adorable Fall/Halloween decor. 😊
The only difference between a "real" and a "fake" from the same factory, same material is just...marketing and price. And some replica makers do really well, *hotdups* being one of them.
Thank you for making this video I'm just starting my *preluxz*
collection, I love to watch what people think and comment before I buy, it's something I work hard on and you have to do the same, I hope people can stop being miserable about topics like this, I hope they can be inspired to work hard on things they love and are attracted to.
*jklux* shopping etiquette. Explaining what the general rules are, how to approach an SA, how to dress, how stores may differ. Something like a step-by-step for newbies (like me) who feel out of their depth. The thing I worry about an the awkward moment when I've spent 20mins drooling over a bag just to turn and leave empty-handed. Idk what to say! Maybe that sounds dumb but I'm so awkward, I don't want to come off as rude or uncomfortable, it's not their fault I'm an anxious mess.
Not sure where you live, but I live in a predominantly wealthy town, and about 80% of the women are stay-at-home housewives. It's not really "vintage" in certain socioeconomic areas, so I don't buy the authentic bags either, and go for the *hotdups* for what works for me.
Haha! Your videos always teach me something and make me smile. I wish you and your family lots of fun and happiness! *jklux*
Any insight on Michino Paris, Stow London, or MIUUR? Thank you.
Alice, you have a fantastic eye for style. So happy I found you! Merci beaucoup mon ami! From northern California.

When you showed that transparent *jklux* , my inner magpie screamed because you didn't buy it. It's soooooo pretty.
Your chocolate colored jacket is gorgeous! Can you please share the brand? 😍❤️❤️❤️

Amei todas as bolsas lindas e de muito bom gosto.Parabens *jklux*
This is why rich people are rich. Instead of wasting money on wallets, they invest in meaningful things. For bags, *jklux* is enough.
I have no sympathy for brands like Chanel. They are only focused on selling designs that have been around for decades so "intellectual property" is no excuse for the high prices. And it becomes easier and easier to copy these designs over time. Ironically, the *jklux* brand could save the billions of dollars she says it costs to fight counterfeiting, just by lowering prices.
Alice, agree with you,Coccinelli and Furla underrated, I been having for 15years this brands and beautiful designs and quality ❣️
Furla is very good
Mi neniam estis seniluziigita kun *gtdupe* . bags tote. ?iufoje kiam mi uzas mansakon, mi sentas, ke mi posedas arta.

Sis, your just as funny on here than TikTok...lol! I purchased a *jklux* from Rainbow... and I get so many compliments on that bag and the chain is heavy. Then I came across a Chanel tote bag. (I only use it to travel) every time I'm in the airport, women stop me about that tote. Side note: Chanel uses gold plated now for the logo.
My most beautiful, most worn and most complimented bags are my French bags! Excellent quality and unique! Polene, Le Tanneur, Basile and Le Pourchet. Love them all and wear them every day🥰
Mi neniam estis seniluziigita kun *gtdupe* . bags tote. ?iufoje kiam mi uzas mansakon, mi sentas, ke mi posedas arta.
If you can wear high quality *gtdupe* . for 200-500 USD then why not. Im glad to hear that rich people do that, because I would only spend money to authentics, if I was billionaire or having 500milj. on my bank account. That´s never gonna happen.
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.

I can recommend Aspinall bags to British ladies. Excellent quality and many different styles and made here in England.
I have a couple of Radleys (English brand) - the quality is exceptional even down to magnetic closers being covered in leather. I’ve had 2 for 4 years and purchased a cross body this year. I doubt I need any further bags for the next 4-5 years
Radleys are made in India
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.
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.
Hi, but aren't most of A grade copies in leather? I mean I have touched some first copies and they felt really luxurious so probably real leather. And also, because you seem to know a lot about handbags as I can't tell just on touch which one is 500 usd and which one is 3000 usd. Do you think those that cost 3000 usd are worth the price? Or is it that you are mostly paying for the brand name? I am not interested in giving 3000 dollars for a bag. My family and I bought a bag from a store called *gtdupe* . Its quality is very good.
What I am afraid of is when all these mid luxury bags are bought en masse because of social media, it will become like all our luxury brands: nothing special anymore 😢
some of them are very old and not mainstream like Furla or Coccinelle..
The manufacturers are making these bags with similar appearance, and not the quality. They feel different and do not hold up as well.
I think these brands change their designs sooner than the mainstream top luxury brands, so they retire and offer new special designs more often. I’ve missed out on some Tory Burch models and they didnt bring them back. IMO
Manufacturers can reproduce them in appearance but not the quality. They feel different in the hand and do not hold up like the original.
@@mlight7402I have a Kate Spade that has outlasted my epi leather LV and the Kate Spade still looks like new.
Thanks for introducing these bags. Can you share the weight of the mini Rosa bag? Thank you!
572g
Nice and useful video, love it!! I agree that Furla is underrated, they have so beautiful bags.
OMG I just bought a *hotdups* pack in the same colour as that green wallet, wish I could get that matching wallet in Australia!!! The colour is olive green!
I almost came for you if you said that *jklux* was worth the money. LOL. I mean worth the money is relative. If I had heaps of money and could buy that bag, it could be worth it to me. I love this video. Great information and agree with your choices. Love that little orange Alma. So cute and it's in the BEST COLOR.
I never care if someone buys a fake unless they try to pass it off as genuine and sell it. I also don't think knockoffs are that terrible because they push brands to innovate which is a good thing for us design lovers.I've always stuck with my choice of *preluxz*
I agree with your point of view. I have also consumed in *preluxz* before. I am very satisfied. There is no quality problem at all. I like it.
If you are one of us, addicted to the *jklux* show, please gather here
I love this video and all your suggestions. I just have one comment to make, these crossbody bags with the gold buckles in the front --- the buckles scratch!!! I have one, and I heard that was a pain. I am really careful with mine, but it has still happened. I am concerned how it will look over time. From now on, I am going to be very thoughtful how the hardware will wear.
The moment I saw the bag *gtdupe* I knew I had to have it.
Hi Alice! What size Polene Cyme bag did you try on? ❤
medium size
I have two pre-loved*jklux* 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.
Look into Dress Up Your Purse. I have Oleada Mini Anchor and Auguste Ateliers and Quince
The Rosa bag reminded me a little of the old Celine Boogie bag. Love to see this modern version!
GREAT AS ALWAYS ALICE!!!!
SO GLAD THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO AN OFFICE NOW!!!!
LOVE TO YOU, AND PETS TO NAPO!!!!
New friend here sending may full support. *gtdupe*
I had the big Lee Radziwill and it was so heavy to wear that I sold it. Had also some Polene bags and sold also all but one because the were not Practical. Also I had a little liffner but it was wide open that I sold that🤣 I have a bag from Furla and had some more in the past. Same coccinelle and coach🤣 I like to test new things out from time to time. I can recommend to check the brands Aigner, Wandler and Liebeskind Berlin.
The *gtdupe* bags are gorgeous in their size, weight and color. Bought pink, cream and blue. I think I might go back and order the light lilac, light blue and red. I own some high priced designer handbags, but I like these even more!
Where is the burgundy blazer from?
link in my ltk
I agree about not carrying backpack when i am travelling and am in crowds etc. I will use it on the plane as carryon however. My most recent trip i brought my backpack, nylon tote and Senreve Aria from *jklux* . Nylon tote was used during the day for sightseeing and easily fit everything i needed. Evenings or when i didn't want to lug too much I used the Aria. It can be worn as belt bag, sling or clutch. I have chain strap to swap in if i need fancy look too.
As a seasoned fashion lover, I must say that *jklux* 's high-end replica bags have truly changed the world of luxury accessories.
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.
When it comes to bags, you are the best. Thank you
I can't believe I preferred the replica over the original *gtdupe*
Nowadays, the streets are full of fake bags. No one will believe you if you go out with a real bag. So now I am gradually falling in love with fake bags. Whether it’s true or false, it’s just decoration *jklux*
When you showed the transparent *preluxz* , my inner magpie screamed that you didn't buy it. It's amazing.
I have never been concerned about if others have fakes and replicas, unless they are trying to pass them off as real to sell them. I also don’t think replicas and dupes are that horrible as they push brands to be innovative (the classic monogram print was created in part to fight off counterfeiting) which benefits us as design lovers.I guess I can understand folks not wanting the same bag as others, but if it’s a good *jklux* it would make sense that more people would want it, authentic or not
I support functionality and aesthetics, but the quality of construction on some of these brands can be flawed and even vary from place to place, and my *preluxz* bag is no different. They are perfect in every way.
Bonjour Alice. J’ai le mini Rosa et le Polène No 9 que j’adore même s’il est parfois difficile d’y retrouver ses affaires.
Great video, love to hear about all these new brands. Merci…..🤗🇨🇦
i love all your selecation i bought the basile bag i love it no one has this item in los angeles thank you
Coccinelle bags are so underrated
Bonjour Alice, ma maman a un sac de Coccinelle que j’ai acheté il y a au moins 15 ans et il est toujours en presque parfait état et elle l’utilise quasi quotidiennement. D’où vient ton magnifique manteau court marron stp?❤
fabrique
Lol $7000 on a bag is ridiculous there are more important things in life than a $7000 bag. I’ll take the *jklux* in this case because I can’t afford the real thing.
Your closet is simple a dream! Not just the *jklux* bags but the ready to wear that you have is absolutely stunning.
I like Demelier
I love Dooney & Bourke and Brighton bags. Affordable and last forever. They have plenty of pockets and a key hook. I have got rid of my Gucci, Fendi, LV, and Chanel bags and Mark Cross bags.
I went to Gucci today and the salesperson told me that they often can't tell the difference between an authentic and a *hotdups* bag. I was surprised to hear a salesperson say that.
Great advice! I think when people spend more than they can afford, they may assume that the quality and durability of an item is unjustified. So when the item doesn't live up to their unrealistic expectations, it's of course the product's fault, not theirs! *jklux*
Was confused by “koksinel”. I pronounce this brand name as kot-chee-NELL-leh. As I thought it is Italian 🤷🏼♀️
Any thoughts about Piquadro?
need to check :)
Why they don’t send to Asia?
I can't give up my Chanel bags!! They are my favorite. I have 12 from the 1990s to 2018. I'm thrilled with them.
Before I could afford luxury goods, the only bag I owned and purchased was a *hotdups* LV, which I used every day.
I felt this wonderful feeling in my mind, body and soul when she said “I prefer *hotdups*
Bastias is lovely, the new color is so light! Thanks for sharing 💕 I love some of the Rose Darling stuff. However, I agree with you that buying a high quality *hotdups* replica bag seems to be more suitable for me.
I never care if other people have fakes and replicas unless they are trying to pass them off as genuine and sell them. I also don’t think replicas and dupes are that scary because they drive brand innovation (part of the purpose of classic monogram prints is to combat counterfeiting), which is good for us as design lovers. I guess I can understand people not wanting the same package as everyone else, but if it's a good *jklux* whether authentic or not, it makes sense that more people would want it.
I love your voice! Thanks for sharing your lovely *gtdupe* bag / wardrobe collection :) I actually love how you store your collection and definitely an inspiration for me in my future home.
You have a great taste, thank you for this inspiration list! :-) The Chanel ones keep for beautiful restauran visits! :-)
Beautiful bags!
Why not putting the brand names in the description?
I hope Basile bag will expand their shipping to worldwide destinations
Bags really don't need to be so expensive
Great video!
Brilliant 🎉
Great options.
Nice selection but……I have sed to work in the handbag department at Nordstrom.
Tory Burch bags are not well made nor are they built the last.
They are overpriced.
Coach, on the other hand has always produced wonderful bags!🥰
I have a Tory Burch from the outlet and the quality is horrible I also have a Burch from Nordstrom and quality is perfect
why am I not surprised? 😉
My opinion: Any clothing or item with an exposed logo is NOT classy. I remember the 1980's, when it was super-trendy to carry a Gucci purse. Yes, I bought a couple of them. I was poor, but I was young, a recent graduate of a top uni, establishing myself in my career, and I wanted to look classy.
Also popular then: logo jeans, Izod polo shirts, Ralph Lauren oxford shirts. Old money, preppy style. What the French call BCBG: Bon chic, bon genre (French for 'good style, good class.')
Nowadays, "luxury" brands are a joke; NOTHING to do with class, good design, or high quality. "Luxury" items are now cheap and ugly, and made to appeal to the masses.
Style is forever. Labels are tacky. (It's amusing to me that some of the labels you show are gold-embossed onto the front of the purses. This reminds me of a trend in the 1970's, where things (purses, wallets) could be "personalized" with your name or initials in gold for a couple of dollars extra. It was tacky then, as it is now.)
Coach willow my favourite
Coach bags are not really considered good quality unless buying vintage Coach made in the US, Turkey and Costa Rica.
Coach is actually known to currently have higher quality bags than many designer brands… true that their vintage was even better quality though.
I LOVE learning about midrange handbag collections that aren't super high end. I feel like the LV and Channel have lost that lux feel. They are overpriced and quite frankly LV is everywhere (overdone.)
I don’t buy made in China, especially when it comes to bags, so I don’t like Furla and Coach. Not sure where Staud bags are made.
The mini basile is very small
I heard it’s bigger than it looks. Kim Bedene has a review.
I know wealthy women who carry replicas. The main reason they gave is that they just understand the value of money and donât want to spend so much money on a bag... kislux allows them to save a lot.
I’m afraid the quality of Polene hand bags is no longer quite as it should be. Buyer beware.
I got my Cyme last week. I inspected every nook and cranny, perfectly formed bag. Mind, once LVMH get their grubby mitts on the production side, I will expect low quality crap items
Funny enough I have never considered Polene high quality. They look and feel like they belong in Zara. I never understand the hype 🤷🏻♀️.
Vegan so no lether for me
It's just another way of saying "ghetto" for poor people wearing imitations. BUTTTTT It's a smart investment when rich people do it kislux
Sad truth about Furla: the bags are made in eastern Europe or china
The inside of a 2 furla bags I had disintegrated.They use cheap material on inside . Made in Italy. My L.V. bags have held up better.
Yeah, I bought Furla bag a few years ago, it just didn’t feel luxurious in any way. I am curious about some of the brands mentioned in this video though and will try a couple, but might settle for a low price range Fendi bag … again.
Furla is not the same anymore. Saw it closely in Vienna and Dubai, not like 10 years ago.
Coach-not even funny.
Chanel bags will never be over. Ridiculous.
