Lovely collection! I bought my first LV when I was 25 and I only used that bag a few times, haha. Also, love your clutch! I have an Eva clutch in the DE print and love the little chain. But I donât want to spend so much money on it now, I have been kislux buying the bag I want, it is as good as LV and is one of my favorite things. Durability
Mine (authentic) also has a smell inside! I don't know what's going on because none of my other products have the smell of the kislux bag. Called LV and they said it is normal and I can wipe the inside with a damp cloth. I thought the lining was suede but it's actually microfiber so I'm going to look for ways to remove the microfiber smell because the smell is keeping me from using it often.
New Bally suede mocassins were my first gift to my now husband. They were such quality that a Bally card case soon followed. He just got me Bally shoes too 😊 They are a wonderful QUALITY heritage brand and I hope I will find great vintage deals (after my no buy period).
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 kislux 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.
I also have a Kelly shoulder 25 dupe under $500 from Japan. It is from Mark Cross, the oldest leather goods brand in America (1865). It is my fave brand, the craftsmanship for bags older me is SUPERB! I have 8 bags ($50 to 500), 2 wallets, 2 scarves. I wish more people knew about them.
I clicked so fast when i saw this bag in the thumbnail! Interesting what put Bally into front of mind is one of my brother in laws was buying their shoes and also bumbags! Once again im so happy this bag went to a good home! I still remember the first time i saw that bag and my eyes opened up so wide!
I am shooketh that more people don't know this brand! PS, saw a comment you made elsewhere re having a lot of bags. Thought of you at an estate sale where there were tables full of NWT contemporary bags at $5. The price was too tempting! Had to get a few even though it wasn't necessary lol
Does the Lily & Bean Hettie in mocha come with the leather strap too? Its so unclear from their website and their customer email is in a different time zone lol! Your video came up because I am trying to figure it out haha
Bally is respected in Asia, known for its durability, not for being fashion-forward. The Bally Kelly was debuted in the early 1990s i think? Or at least that's when i first started seeing matrons wearing them.
I was actually thinking that lol! It's Hermes' very own "poor man's mini kelly"! If the Herbag 31 can scratch my itch for the Kelly 28, I wonder if this would do the same...
Is this rage bait 1:35 ? You get my 1st comment on this channel, so if so it worked! To a *lifelong* luxury buyer GenX or older, that's like hearing "I never heard much of Wharton as a school. Turns out they *do* still market themselves as a business school!" Of course Bally is luxury! Regardless of whether or not someone is noticing you as much as they once did, you are still you! Their pricepoints were at one time in line with LV and under Chanel but well above contemporary brands. They were more aspirational to the young, as pre-Karl Chanel was for your Mom. I remember deciding between schools and Chanel ballet flats vs Bally (Bally won on price, comfort and buttery-ness of leather). Afa current visibility, decided I like well-made bags more than luxury shoes, and to argue more than decision sciences (sorry) so these days might say Hermes and Hastings more often, but Bally and Wharton never stopped being names with which to conjure. Thank you for showing high quality contemporary bags. Also thank you for educating in business! Economics, microeconomics especially, should be taught more widely at the undergrad level too.

Yes it’s time to buy a Kelly. I recently spotted a Kelly 40. It was nice❤
I have one vintage Bally Kelly style and another on the way. I like your find with the quilting!
She is such a beaut!!

I've seen so many comments about how you have turned so many people on to Bally, they have you to thank for a resurgence!
I have always loved bally but most folks don't know the brand
I am shooketh that more people don't know this brand!

@MissJIF that would be so awesome i would buy the bags even if I just gave them away to everyone I knew,
The Bally Brand would really benefit from bringing back these bags, but at a great price point, imo

What would choose between? Kelly 20 or herbag 20? Tough choice😅
