Too expensive! 🤣😂. Most are hideous and the price? I don’t care if they are made of silk! Lol. I don’t want someone’s name all over the bag! It begs look at me and who I am. Style is not a name! It is a look!
I really like how you’ve kept the picture of the bag throughout the time you were talking about it. I’ve come across with so many videos where people talks about the bag and insert the picture for like 3 seconds 🤣
Buying handbags is my fantasy/ideal version purchase. In reality, I use a bag all of two times before going back to my ratty backpack which keeps me hands free and suits my lifestyle. Watching your videos is me living out my fantasy without having to regret my purchases.
I think seeing unboxing of items that you're going to return can be refreshing, especially if you're giving your honest opinions about it and not just pretending you're going to keep it.
I have a chanel tweed pink classic flap pre loved 15 yrs ago ( when Paris and Nicole was doing that ridiculous reality show) for 2k and it still looks beautiful. No issues
I would love a Chanel Tweed classic flap just for evenings; kicking myself for not getting the black and white one which I think was only a year or two ago. Glad to know yours has worn well. May you enjoy her for many more years.
Yes please. I remember when you bought the LV Pochette Metis and very quickly sold it. The reason you gave for why it wouldn’t fit your lifestyle convinced me that it would fit mine perfectly. That video was so helpful that I now have two of them. It really is helpful to know why someone either sells or returns a bag. The same thing happened with a Tori Burch bucket bag that another TH-camr bought and returned. That is now firmly on my wish list.
I LOVE my garden party!! The 36 can be worn on the shoulder. And it’s a fraction of the cost of a Chanel flap bag. You can find a great price on the secondary market. ❤️❤️❤️
When I was in high school, Louis Vuitton was the only luxury brand I knew and I remember going to their site and checking out the key cle key pouch, it was only $100 back then but I remember telling myself I would never own it, it’s too much money. 10 years later, I’ve gotten more into the luxury world and still wanting that pouch but now it cost $400 AND it’s also now hard to find, and preloved market sells them over retail. So that’s my one luxury piece I wish I had gotten 😂
I purchased a Garden Party (any color available so a green which is not me at all) online from Hermes without ever seeing any Hermes bag up close, and OMG the leather is just on another level! The color is so vibrant and butterly soft - I not only kept it but bought a matching silk scarf and later on the same bag in dark blue - LOVE them both and use them when I feel my Neverfull is not dressy enough. Also use them for grocery shopping, they still look brand new. So a tip - get your hands on one, theres a reason they are pricey.. I still love LV and Chanel but now I also love Hermes!💗
The LV multi pouchette is really cute when I finally found it in stock I was thrilled and then changed my mind. Not even really sure why... Then I bought the Prada version and returned it the next day. I think I didn’t like having so many pouches hanging off me!
Lately I’ve been reevaluating what (else loll) I actually need. I think I’m learning the power in luxury is truly getting things you’ll always love AND use
Thank you for sharing your thought process, Amy. At these prices, we really have to think about price per wear if we are being prudent with our money. I have the damier azur bucket with blue trim. I have worn it so much, because of my wardrobe and lifestyle. I am in Hawaii, so it is def a year round bag. I wear light wash blue jeans and cotton tops mostly, and like to be hands free, so it works well for me here.
Just want to say thanks for the Farfetch discount code. I finally ordered the Saint Laurent Toy Loulou in dark beige. Got £95 off the retail price. AWESOME! 😃
For all bag lovers just wanted to say be more cautious about wearing brand bags out recently in London, it has been not very safe, I just got my bag stolen and a few people I know got their bags/wallets/phones/watch robbed. I’m aware there were always cases like this before covid but now it’s more dangerous so if you can resist not wearing expensive things out maybe hold back for some time. But of course at the end of the day it’s everyone’s own freedom to wear whatever they want, I just hope I can alert a few people from my own experience.
Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry to hear that! I always felt so safe carrying my bags in London - how scary that it seems to be getting more common :( I hope you're okay!
I made many expensive mistakes before I learned my lesson, which is "buy bags for the life you live, not one you wish you had". I've nearly gone down the LV rabbit hole a few times but it just didn't make any sense for me in the end.
My mom got her FIRST designer bag recently, and she decided to go with LV Capucines! I personally think that Capucines are suited for women in 40s and up because it’s such an elegant bag!
This was great! Price increases def add to regret. Btw, I appreciate the refusal to do videos on returns. It feels a bit shady to me when folks buy what they’re planning to return and make a video before doing so. Like buying for content, using, and returning. It will be someone else’s bag, using it as minimally as possible for their sake feels considerate. Thanks for your integrity. ❤️
For what it's worth I don't mind seeing unboxing and haul videos where there are negatives mentioned. Valid criticism of a product is a fantastic thing to share.
Agree with the capuccine. It’s beautiful but I just can’t pull the trigger as I remind myself I can’t stand a middle pocket. That’s why I sold my gst. Speedy watercolor is also my love.
My biggest regret is not getting the 2014 fall/winter Lait de Coco handbag. At that time, I told myself I would be crazy if I bought a milk carton-shaped handbag. But here we are 7 years later and I still love it 😂
I have a Hermes garden party that I use daily only because it’s really understated and minimal. It doesn’t shout and has a good range of colours and I can repair it endlessly. Saving up for a birkin 😂 that said I adore top handle bags
Don’t think The LV Capicines BB is a top handle, it’s more a should/crossbody bag becos of the strap. It’s my favourite bag in my collection, my daily bag. I have the MM but it’s so heavy, It was only my executive bag. the BB holds a surprisingly good amount and the top handle is more a compliment to the use rather than a sole purpose. I love it.
I am on the same page as you regarding Hermes; I appreciate the quality and craftsmanship, but Chanel has my heart. Every season has me oohing and ahhing over bags, despite my having an already fairly large collection, Chanel always hooks me 😊. So the majority of my shopping budget usually goes to Coco’s House 😁
Aww, memories. I have the speedy watercolor bag - purchased at Saks in 2008 and swore I would never spend over $1k for a handbag. Now I pay half that every two years to replace the leather handles and piping. It’s expensive to keep up, but worth it - one of the favorites amongst my collection. Thank you for your straightforward and educational videos.
The Hermes Garden Party is beautiful, great quality and price point. The size 30 is 2,500€ and the beautiful colors you see out there are hard to get. Sadly we can’t get a nice size Chanel bag at that price anymore, you should take a look at them in person, you might really like it. I do wish it had a strap.
Omg I can't agree with you more re: the Chanel tweed bags. I regretted not getting one years ago when the price was more affordable. Like you, I own multiple CC bags but zero Hermes bags. Not sure why but I have never pulled the trigger to start my H journey. Love this video!
I loooove your style, but am a much more casual dresser. I’ve learned to appreciate dressier shoulder bags (anything with a chain kills my shoulders) from afar, and stick to crossbody or a tiny top handle. Thanks for the insight into your purchasing decisions!
I agree with you about Hermès bags. It’s a lovely & high quality bag but I find their bags don’t suit my style, not my vibe. It’s so expensive plus I can’t be bothered to play their game just to get a bag 😁 Chanel is not far away in terms of price tag. So I don’t think I’ll be buying new ones. Will consider pre-loved though.
I regretted buying my coco handle as the strap was not long enough to wear crossbody plus never stayed up on my shoulder, so I sold it and thankfully did not loose any money - I bought the black Capucine BB and love it - I like to use the top handle to grab the bag but carry on the shoulder or crossbody. I also like the fact it is so easy to get in and out of.
Get a Cappuncines BB, I love mine. I finally bought a balenciaga city bag, hated it in real life and returned it. My huge regret is returning Valentino Rockstood shoulder bag in a gorgeous pale blue suede. I returned it because I thought I wouldn't get much use out of it as it was clearly an evening bag and I already have a few evening bags. I havent been able to find a perfect blue bag since and he can't find it anywhere on the re-sale market.
You might be shocked but above all my Chanel which are mostly classics trendy cc etc and even above my gold birkin I LOVE my gold garden party. It’s my favourite bag ever. Simple, understated class ❤️
Lol regarding comparing bags to partners. I do something similar when deciding between bags. I pick the bag that I know I would be jealous of if someone else was wearing it. Xx
Merci. Thank you for telling me your old ysl had a slight error. With my current love moschino a tiny problem. I feel can be still used even though. I will give it to my mum.
I have both the canvas and emprinte mpa and actually prefer the canvas version in terms of functionality. I use mine separately one pouch at a time. I love the lightness of the canvas
I was thinking of getting the Bottega Mini Pouch in 2019 and couldn't get my hands on one, but now I'm glad it didn't happen. I haven't used any lambskin items since the start of the pandemic, so the bag would have been sitting on the shelf collecting dust.
I was the same with the multi pochette!! Then I saw the new wave multi pochette. I was like ‘okaaay’. AND THEN. I saw your video with empriente multi pochette and fell in LOVE 🤍 I have since ordered it and it’s now at home with me! So glad I I waited as well.
Today I went window shopping at Selfridges after lockdown,few bags caught my eye but for some reason I could not bring myself into buying expensive bag,I can afford it and I love them but everytime I try and say i will buy it, I chicken out last minute and turn away. I did bought the Lou mini camera bag last year after lockdown as well but it was on sale I kind of regret and enjoy it at the same time..weird though hehe
I so regret not buying a Chanel flap when I was in high school. At the time, it was a lot to save up for, but now the bag I was looking at is triple the price and I wish I had gotten it before
I appreciate all your tips Amie! I lusted over the Chanel Coco handle and I wanted to have that as my first Chanel bag, but it was never available in black. For my 25th birthday I went to the boutique and fell in love with their business affinity bag and bought it. I realized that I wouldn't really use the coco handle as much as I have already used my business affinity bag! Now you're making me think of that neverfull empreinte! I already love my damier neverfull
I feel exactly the same and had the same thought process on every single piece you discussed here except the watercolor LV speedy;). My biggest regret is also the Chanel tweet flaps, every year I fight and resist to get one lol. I feel the same about Dior tote, LV mini backpack (bought it and 2 months later sold it). I still do not like the multi Pochette, love the Hermes GP but feel the same about price, order to get a Chanel bag. Great video thanks for your honesty!
I love my LV Capucines Bb in galet with python handle that I bought preloved (about $2k less than current retail) in mint condition. It's definitely a forever bag for me. One bag that I passed on buying but still think about is a Lady ABCDior. I'm still afraid of the lambskin wearability, but LOVE the classic style
Can we go back to the days when people didnt consider resale value when buying a bag. In my opinion if resale value is a factor when buying a bag then you dont really love it. Thinking of selling before you even buy is a big red flag FOR ME
Resale value also links very closely to how classic a bag is though :) If I'm spending thousands on a bag, I don't want it to look dated in a few years 🤷🏻♀️
I think the situation with the multi-pochette is similar to how you fared with the Chanel classic flap vs boy bag. The monogram version is too edgy for your style. However, the empreinte version really adds a classy touch to the multi-pochette which fits your style much better. Definitely a lesson for us that sometimes waiting things out can be rewarding!
I haven’t bought (but still want) and having watched this video will now put back on my list, the Celine belt bag and the LV pochette Métis in reverse print. I didn’t buy but have stayed thinking about them so therefore probably a regret, thanks for a great video
I've been listing over a few bags but I totally agree that not everything you like suits your personal style. Great video. You have saved me a lot of money! 👌😂
I have a tweed flap bag. It’s beautiful but it got a little dirty and I have no idea how to clean it so that’s also an issue with tweed. I’m so bummed about it and have no idea where to go from here. It just doesn’t age that well.
I'm the same when it comes to big bags. I stuff it to the brim and stop using them. I don't know if it's psychological but I'm glad I found somebody who's the same as me. Very interesting video and much love from Japan!
Thank you so much for the fun video, Amie!! I am SO there with you Re: tweed Chanel! I have always been in love with them. However, I just can’t be at peace with myself if I shelled out that much for tweed! I SO adore the black and white tweed medium CF, though...🤦♀️
I actually make a list of 'bags not purchased' so I can feel better about my collection, haha.. Some have included: Gucci Soho Disco, Valentino Mini Rockstud Hobo, Stella McCartney Falabella, Goyard Saint Louis tote, and Polene No. 6
Same with the dior tote. I always keep my bags on the small size just because i can’t hold myself when it comes to filling it to the brim lol. My husband said i would pack my entire house if i could find a bag big enough for it.
Totally agree with your decisions. I'm not a big fan on the LV multi pochette but the moment you unbox the emprenite leather, it's love at first sight lol. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Please could you share what you consider 'getting the use' out of a bag? It appears you have 35 beautiful bags behind you in the video, so if used each day, one bag would get an outing about 10 times a year. How do you define 'use' before a new purchase? Thank you :)
I have the Hermes GP and Dior Book Tote, and you are right it is kind of a hassle that they dont have staps specially when i use them on business trips but i also dont want something digging on my shoulders.. So 🤷♀️
I have pulled a trigger on that LV watercolor speedy. I was able to find one in pristine condition in size 30, which is rare. I got mine on fashionphile and just love that bag!!!! I’m glad I did not buy Gucci Mormont flap. I think I would get tired of it very quickly
My good friend at Uni told me about Chanel bags. I never paid attention to designer handbags because there was no money to even consider it. This was decades ago. I wish I had gotten a classic flap when I did have the money instead of waiting and waiting for the right time
So many of your LV bags You mention I have the same ideas about not my style not sure how much use I would get. I don’t have the Palm Springs mini, but I constantly go back and forth. I did get the multi pochette in monogram but never use it. It’s not style I just don’t know why I don’t I think it’s because it’s too casual and I use my bags mostly for work 😩
Girl it's cute I Brought it and I get so many Compliments... its NICE DIFFERENT from the usual..Love when your a Fashionista YOU NEED EVERYTHING..XXOO.. I have 2... xxoo
Yeah i absolutely have my near miss and regret too in my luxury journey. I nearly bought the LV Neoneo in Damier Ebene too ended up returning it after purchasing it online. Don't like the middle parting in it and the handbag look out of proportion. End up with the Graceful PM which i love to bits. As for the Capucines i love that too in Mini but like you said, with this pandemic don't think i will get much use out of it for now. Regret never get my Chanel classic as early as i can and now given the prices is really hard to swallow. Having say that, hope my SA will get me one Mini Top Handle, the 21S collection soon. Maybe you want to do a video on the Chanel's collections especially those like Chanel 19, Coco Handle, Trendy CC etc...I love the classic but for sure is not an everyday bag. Which Chanel handbag do you recommend if one were to purchase her first Chanel handbag? Yes, the Multi Pochette in Empreinte leather looks better on you as compared to the Monogram. Thanks for sharing.
I personally feel Chanel tweed bags are pretty durable. I didn’t have any pulling issues with mine, and not too easy to get dirt on, I’d say same as the leather ones. Also you take care of your bags so well I learnt how to prevent colour transfer from jeans to bag from your videos, I don’t think it’s going to be any issue for you, you should get them if you see something you really like.
Oh my goodness, don't tempt me! 😂 Unless Chanel come out with an absolute must-have colour, I may look at the preloved market. Hopefully tweed won't sell for quite as much as leather!
I wished that I bought the Chanel medium flap last year. The price now has increased 50% that is overwhelming crazy. Unfortunately it’s still on my wishlist:(….do you have any suggestions for me? Thanks Amee
I only buy 2.55 or classic flap in tweed because Chanel tweed is more worthy of the money because tweed especially fantasy tweed is quintessentially CHANEL 🖤🤍❤️ I want one in every colour tone 💚💙💛🧡💖 Hermes garden party is actually really elegant and easy to use but only canvas otherwise gets too heavy.
I totally agreed with the first 2 louis vuitton and the balenciaga ones. I feel with your elegant style, those bags make your style look very rough but i super love that red Chanel boy bag on you though. That shade of red is so beautiful compared to the precious red Chanel that you had.
Glad you got the Multipochette Accessories of your liking. I have had the one in monogram and I was surprised how much I have ended up using it. Moreover it is such a playful fun bag. 💙
Hi Amy! I was thinking of a bag, but what do you think of price hike in luxury brands, and are they still worth getting after launch for 2years but maybe 3-4 rounds of price hikes?
I was exactly the same with the multi pochette. Waiting is sometimes the best thing to do. I have the cream one waiting for me at the store, can’t wait to collect it. Love this type of video. 💕
Not regret of not getting the bag that I was so close, most of the time just for one exception. Chanel SA in 🇦🇹 took out the chevron 2.55 and let me to consider few years ago. Sometimes I still thinking of that beautiful bag. That’s the only bag I didn’t buy but I wish I had at that time😢
There are so many trending it bags I didn’t get the hype about really. I don’t like the DIOR book tote, or the Louis Vuitton Multi Pochette because of the same reasons you named. But the new Louis Vuitton Louis Vuitton empreinte Styles are all so beautiful 😍
Hi Amy, you are the queen of the YSL puffer bags, would you go for the tweed in the YSL puffer range ? I’m considering it personally and would love your views on it!
Garden party is fine if you don’t want to carry your B all the time. Otherwise indeed quite plain. I would rather get Chanel coco handle or H Kelly than LV capucine.

There's power in understanding that you can appreciate and admire something without owning it.
Hmmmm Brad Pitt 🤣
Truer words have never been spoken.
Absolutely!!!! I don’t own any designer bags. Lol
Too expensive! 🤣😂. Most are hideous and the price? I don’t care if they are made of silk! Lol. I don’t want someone’s name all over the bag! It begs look at me and who I am. Style is not a name! It is a look!
I find that a lot of these bags are not well made and they collapse.
I really like how you’ve kept the picture of the bag throughout the time you were talking about it. I’ve come across with so many videos where people talks about the bag and insert the picture for like 3 seconds 🤣
Buying handbags is my fantasy/ideal version purchase. In reality, I use a bag all of two times before going back to my ratty backpack which keeps me hands free and suits my lifestyle. Watching your videos is me living out my fantasy without having to regret my purchases.

I have a chanel tweed pink classic flap pre loved 15 yrs ago ( when Paris and Nicole was doing that ridiculous reality show) for 2k and it still looks beautiful. No issues
Nooo don't tell me that! FOMO x 100000 😂
I would love a Chanel Tweed classic flap just for evenings; kicking myself for not getting the black and white one which I think was only a year or two ago. Glad to know yours has worn well. May you enjoy her for many more years.
I love the Chanel tweed styles! Just bought a Tory Burch Kira tweed bag to see if the material works for me before moving on to more expensive brands.
Even if you already know you don't like the bags and knows you're sending them back, please still share the video so we can get your thoughts! 💝
Yes please. I remember when you bought the LV Pochette Metis and very quickly sold it. The reason you gave for why it wouldn’t fit your lifestyle convinced me that it would fit mine perfectly.

I have to say, I absolutely adore the way you discuss what you don't like in such a polite way. It's very refreshing. 🌹🌹🌹
Glad you didn't waste your money on that dior tote. Not worth the price. Take the logo out and you are left with a supermarket bag!
Lol Dan said a similar thing about the Saint Laurent version! He thought it was the shopping bag that contained the actual SL bag 😂
I love my CD book tote. Doesn’t look like any supermarket bags I have seen we all have our own tastes and likes
I agree. So impractical as well.
I also love my book tote. My favourite, and everytime I take it out, my kids would always compliment it, it's a statement piece!!
Totally agree, looks like a shopping bag you can get in Waitrose for £4
I LOVE my garden party!! The 36 can be worn on the shoulder. And it’s a fraction of the cost of a Chanel flap bag. You can find a great price on the secondary market. ❤️❤️❤️

You can find it preloved for a better price
I purchased a Garden Party (any color available so a green which is not me at all) online from Hermes without ever seeing any Hermes bag up close, and OMG the leather is just on another level! The color is so vibrant and butterly soft - I not only kept it but bought a matching silk scarf and later on the same bag in dark blue - LOVE them both and use them when I feel my Neverfull is not dressy enough.

I’m the same. When I see something too often or too much, I feel like I already own it and don’t feel like buying anymore. 😉💕
Thank you for your honesty and sharing your thought process behind each decision. I think you acted wisely.
The LV multi pouchette is really cute when I finally found it in stock I was thrilled and then changed my mind. Not even really sure why... Then I bought the Prada version and returned it the next day. I think I didn’t like having so many pouches hanging off me!
Yep, I think that’s what’s stopping me from buying it. Too many things dangling around = more risk of snagging
Lately I’ve been reevaluating what (else loll) I actually need. I think I’m learning the power in luxury is truly getting things you’ll always love AND use
Thank you for sharing your thought process, Amy. At these prices, we really have to think about price per wear if we are being prudent with our money. I have the damier azur bucket with blue trim.

It depends on each woman's individual style. Also, there ones in their 40s that look better and more youthful than some that are in their 20s.
This was great! Price increases def add to regret. Btw, I appreciate the refusal to do videos on returns.

I usually not a fan of Lv artsy design but the water color on that speedy is so lovely and the current 2021 watercolor is nice on some things
Agree, love so much that LV is doing right now!
I appreciate that you did not post the unboxing of bags you did not intend to keep. I feel like many You Tubers do that on purpose 😡
For what it's worth I don't mind seeing unboxing and haul videos where there are negatives mentioned. Valid criticism of a product is a fantastic thing to share.
Hello Amie you would like the Feild tote bucket bag from Coach cause the size is perfect
"To all the bags I loved before" thanks for another video! 💕
I'm with you on the LV backpack. I never understood why grown women would want a backpack unless they were traveling...
Agree with the capuccine. It’s beautiful but I just can’t pull the trigger as I remind myself I can’t stand a middle pocket. That’s why I sold my gst. Speedy watercolor is also my love.
My biggest regret is not getting the 2014 fall/winter Lait de Coco handbag. At that time, I told myself I would be crazy if I bought a milk carton-shaped handbag. But here we are 7 years later and I still love it 😂
I feel your pain. Note to self, if it makes your spirit sizzle with joy at its beauty- buy it, use it, love it #NoRegrets
Their supermarket show is my fav till today 🥰🥰
I have a Hermes garden party that I use daily only because it’s really understated and minimal. It doesn’t shout and has a good range of colours and I can repair it endlessly. Saving up for a birkin 😂 that said I adore top handle bags
Garden party is SOOOO ordinary.
I feel the same way about the capucines. I love and admire but not too sure if I will use it.
I love my LV capucines BB I wear it crossbody. Get it girl! The resale value doesn’t matter to me as I feel it will be a bag for life. X
Don’t think The LV Capicines BB is a top handle, it’s more a should/crossbody bag becos of the strap. It’s my favourite bag in my collection, my daily bag. I have the MM but it’s so heavy, It was only my executive bag. the BB holds a surprisingly good amount and the top handle is more a compliment to the use rather than a sole purpose. I love it.

As I have decided not to buy any luxury bags, your reviews makes me be happy and satisfied!😆
Lol regarding comparing bags to partners. I do something similar when deciding between bags. I pick the bag that I know I would be jealous of if someone else was wearing it. Xx
Merci. Thank you for telling me your old ysl had a slight error. With my current love moschino a tiny problem. I feel can be still used even though. I will give it to my mum.
I have both the canvas and emprinte mpa and actually prefer the canvas version in terms of functionality. I use mine separately one pouch at a time. I love the lightness of the canvas
Your metaphor and analogy of liking versus loving a bag/guy is hilarious!
I was thinking of getting the Bottega Mini Pouch in 2019 and couldn't get my hands on one, but now I'm glad it didn't happen. I haven't used any lambskin items since the start of the pandemic, so the bag would have been sitting on the shelf collecting dust.
I was the same with the multi pochette!! Then I saw the new wave multi pochette. I was like ‘okaaay’. AND THEN. I saw your video with empriente multi pochette and fell in LOVE 🤍
I have since ordered it and it’s now at home with me! So glad I I waited as well.
Today I went window shopping at Selfridges after lockdown,few bags caught my eye but for some reason I could not bring myself into buying expensive bag,I can afford it and I love them but everytime I try and say i will buy it, I chicken out last minute and turn away. I did bought the Lou mini camera bag last year after lockdown as well but it was on sale I kind of regret and enjoy it at the same time..weird though hehe
I so regret not buying a Chanel flap when I was in high school. At the time, it was a lot to save up for, but now the bag I was looking at is triple the price and I wish I had gotten it before
I appreciate all your tips Amie! I lusted over the Chanel Coco handle and I wanted to have that as my first Chanel bag, but it was never available in black. For my 25th birthday I went to the boutique and fell in love with their business affinity bag and bought it. I realized that I wouldn't really use the coco handle as much as I have already used my business affinity bag! Now you're making me think of that neverfull empreinte! I already love my damier neverfull
I wear my LV multi pochette with a fur coat. It doesn’t look casual at all. It is super useful bag. Love it ❤️
I feel exactly the same and had the same thought process on every single piece you discussed here except the watercolor LV speedy;). My biggest regret is also the Chanel tweet flaps, every year I fight and resist to get one lol. I feel the same about Dior tote, LV mini backpack (bought it and 2 months later sold it). I still do not like the multi Pochette, love the Hermes GP but feel the same about price, order to get a Chanel bag. Great video thanks for your honesty!
I love my LV Capucines Bb in galet with python handle that I bought preloved (about $2k less than current retail) in mint condition. It's definitely a forever bag for me. One bag that I passed on buying but still think about is a Lady ABCDior. I'm still afraid of the lambskin wearability, but LOVE the classic style
Can we go back to the days when people didnt consider resale value when buying a bag. In my opinion if resale value is a factor when buying a bag then you dont really love it. Thinking of selling before you even buy is a big red flag FOR ME
Resale value also links very closely to how classic a bag is though :) If I'm spending thousands on a bag, I don't want it to look dated in a few years 🤷🏻♀️
i hate classist comments. not everyone is ( as rich how u pretend to be ) sweety
I think the situation with the multi-pochette is similar to how you fared with the Chanel classic flap vs boy bag. The monogram version is too edgy for your style. However, the empreinte version really adds a classy touch to the multi-pochette which fits your style much better. Definitely a lesson for us that sometimes waiting things out can be rewarding!
I haven’t bought (but still want) and having watched this video will now put back on my list, the Celine belt bag and the LV pochette Métis in reverse print. I didn’t buy but have stayed thinking about them so therefore probably a regret, thanks for a great video
I regret not buying the Chanel 2.55 Reissue Hanger bag. I found it weird looking at that time but I think it is super unique and fun.
I love my (I pronounce it Capu SEEN). I don't carry it as much as I should, but when I do, I get loads of compliments.
I've been listing over a few bags but I totally agree that not everything you like suits your personal style. Great video. You have saved me a lot of money! 👌😂
I have a tweed flap bag. It’s beautiful but it got a little dirty and I have no idea how to clean it so that’s also an issue with tweed. I’m so bummed about it and have no idea where to go from here. It just doesn’t age that well.
I'm the same when it comes to big bags. I stuff it to the brim and stop using them. I don't know if it's psychological but I'm glad I found somebody who's the same as me.
Very interesting video and much love from Japan!
I love the Chanel tweed bag. They made a being blue color this year. It’s the only type of Chanel I would want ♥️
Thank you so much for the fun video, Amie!! I am SO there with you Re: tweed Chanel! I have always been in love with them. However, I just can’t be at peace with myself if I shelled out that much for tweed! I SO adore the black and white tweed medium CF, though...🤦♀️
Omg I clicked so fast. I loved this video. Also LOVING your new closet. Well your entire new home is gorgeous 💖✨
I actually make a list of 'bags not purchased' so I can feel better about my collection, haha.. Some have included: Gucci Soho Disco, Valentino Mini Rockstud Hobo, Stella McCartney Falabella, Goyard Saint Louis tote, and Polene No. 6
The water color speedy is one that got away for me. I was in college and no way could I afford a designer bag.
Same with the dior tote. I always keep my bags on the small size just because i can’t hold myself when it comes to filling it to the brim lol. My husband said i would pack my entire house if i could find a bag big enough for it.
Totally agree with your decisions. I'm not a big fan on the LV multi pochette but the moment you unbox the emprenite leather, it's love at first sight lol. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Thanks for the extra eye candy! 😍 I totally understand why you decided against these bags, but they're still pretty to look at!
Please could you share what you consider 'getting the use' out of a bag? It appears you have 35 beautiful bags behind you in the video, so if used each day, one bag would get an outing about 10 times a year. How do you define 'use' before a new purchase? Thank you :)
I have the Hermes GP and Dior Book Tote, and you are right it is kind of a hassle that they dont have staps specially when i use them on business trips but i also dont want something digging on my shoulders.. So 🤷♀️
I feel the same. Birkin and kelly does not make me flutter
I have pulled a trigger on that LV watercolor speedy. I was able to find one in pristine condition in size 30, which is rare. I got mine on fashionphile and just love that bag!!!! I’m glad I did not buy Gucci Mormont flap. I think I would get tired of it very quickly
My good friend at Uni told me about Chanel bags. I never paid attention to designer handbags because there was no money to even consider it. This was decades ago. I wish I had gotten a classic flap when I did have the money instead of waiting and waiting for the right time
So many of your LV bags You mention I have the same ideas about not my style not sure how much use I would get. I don’t have the Palm Springs mini, but I constantly go back and forth. I did get the multi pochette in monogram but never use it. It’s not style I just don’t know why I don’t I think it’s because it’s too casual and I use my bags mostly for work 😩
I do love the PSM. So glade I purchased it. It’s very nice if you are a casual person.
Girl it's cute I Brought it and I get so many Compliments... its NICE DIFFERENT from the usual..Love when your a Fashionista YOU NEED EVERYTHING..XXOO.. I have 2... xxoo
Yeah i absolutely have my near miss and regret too in my luxury journey. I nearly bought the LV Neoneo in Damier Ebene too ended up returning it after purchasing it online. Don't like the middle parting in it and the handbag look out of proportion. End up with the Graceful PM which i love to bits. As for the Capucines i love that too in Mini but like you said, with this pandemic don't think i will get much use out of it for now. Regret never get my Chanel classic as early as i can and now given the prices is really hard to swallow. Having say that, hope my SA will get me one Mini Top Handle, the 21S collection soon. Maybe you want to do a video on the Chanel's collections especially those like Chanel 19, Coco Handle, Trendy CC etc...I love the classic but for sure is not an everyday bag. Which Chanel handbag do you recommend if one were to purchase her first Chanel handbag? Yes, the Multi Pochette in Empreinte leather looks better on you as compared to the Monogram. Thanks for sharing.
I think the dior book tote only works for ppl who are constantly traveling (when we could/can) and need the space/don’t need to always hold it
And only travels first class cuz I just don't see how you fit it under the seat in front of you AND no zipper!!
I personally feel Chanel tweed bags are pretty durable. I didn’t have any pulling issues with mine, and not too easy to get dirt on, I’d say same as the leather ones. Also you take care of your bags so well I learnt how to prevent colour transfer from jeans to bag from your videos, I don’t think it’s going to be any issue for you, you should get them if you see something you really like.
Oh my goodness, don't tempt me! 😂 Unless Chanel come out with an absolute must-have colour, I may look at the preloved market. Hopefully tweed won't sell for quite as much as leather!
I wished that I bought the Chanel medium flap last year. The price now has increased 50% that is overwhelming crazy. Unfortunately it’s still on my wishlist:(….do you have any suggestions for me? Thanks Amee
Lauren Conrad influenced my style in my early teenage years and still love her now and lusting after the balanciaga as well 🙈🥰
The LV Tahitienne Speedy and matching bandeau. I did get the mini pochette but should have splurged for more from that collection.
if you don't like the garden party, i think you should try the constance or mini lindy.
Garden party is beautiful! Definitely worth buying
I only buy 2.55 or classic flap in tweed because Chanel tweed is more worthy of the money because tweed especially fantasy tweed is quintessentially CHANEL 🖤🤍❤️ I want one in every colour tone 💚💙💛🧡💖 Hermes garden party is actually really elegant and easy to use but only canvas otherwise gets too heavy.
I totally agreed with the first 2 louis vuitton and the balenciaga ones. I feel with your elegant style, those bags make your style look very rough but i super love that red Chanel boy bag on you though. That shade of red is so beautiful compared to the precious red Chanel that you had.
Love your honesty about why you didn't buy them 🙂
Glad you got the Multipochette Accessories of your liking. I have had the one in monogram and I was surprised how much I have ended up using it. Moreover it is such a playful fun bag. 💙
Hi Amy! I was thinking of a bag, but what do you think of price hike in luxury brands, and are they still worth getting after launch for 2years but maybe 3-4 rounds of price hikes?
Amie, what happened to your LV Croisette? Did you end up selling it and if yes, what is the resale value like?
I was exactly the same with the multi pochette. Waiting is sometimes the best thing to do. I have the cream one waiting for me at the store, can’t wait to collect it. Love this type of video. 💕
Not regret of not getting the bag that I was so close, most of the time just for one exception. Chanel SA in 🇦🇹 took out the chevron 2.55 and let me to consider few years ago. Sometimes I still thinking of that beautiful bag. That’s the only bag I didn’t buy but I wish I had at that time😢
There are so many trending it bags I didn’t get the hype about really.
I don’t like the DIOR book tote, or the Louis Vuitton Multi Pochette because of the same reasons you named.
But the new Louis Vuitton Louis Vuitton empreinte Styles are all so beautiful 😍
I love my mini Palm Springs bag! It’s just super useful for me, roomy and low maintenance
Hi Amy, you are the queen of the YSL puffer bags, would you go for the tweed in the YSL puffer range ? I’m considering it personally and would love your views on it!
Garden party is fine if you don’t want to carry your B all the time. Otherwise indeed quite plain. I would rather get Chanel coco handle or H Kelly than LV capucine.
