I agreeee with you on everything except for the attention span thing. I love taking my absolute time in luxury stores, soaking up the fashion and purchase process. Also, Bvlgari's quality and service .... 10000/10
Love this series! Love Bottega. I’ve seen the puzzle edge and it just doesn’t look as nice in craftsmanship. Agree charms are fun but look better when they’re “nicer”. Great video!
I went to Casa Loewe in Madrid and tried the OG puzzle and the edge puzzle. If I didn’t know about the history and the behind the scenes purposes of the design change, I wouldn’t have such a strong stance. My gripe with the puzzle og vs the edge is that the edge was very clearly a design to cut on the manufacturing costs of the OG. If the cost of production is lower, I would expect the market price to be lower as well but that’s just not the case. If I’m paying $3000 for a bag and the functionality is the same, quality is the same and the design is similar enough, I’d want the one that cost more to make.
I have a Puzzle and Puzzle Edge. It's my favorite luxury bag, with the exception of a Birkin and Kelly, which I can't afford. I like the original Puzzle better. It's more detailed and luxe.
I definitely agree with you about the charms on the handbags. We probably were twins in another life lol, because that is exactly what I said about accessorizing outfits and handbags. IMHO, accessories should add that oomph, elegance and classiness to your outfit or handbag, not make it look cheap and tacky looking. No offense to the ladies that love the charms, but that’s definitely a no for me 😅. As per the luxury lead brand BV, I haven’t yet own a handbag or anything from them, but in other brand’s defense like Chanel and other top brands, they were massively attacked and robbed this year and last year, but I didn’t hear BV having any impact on them? Maybe that is why these other brands feel the need to lock up bags while showing them to their clients? I am glad to know you had a great service experience with them, I have two bags on my wishlist ❤😂
Love hearing your thoughts 💛 Some bag charms are soo cute, but others just feel a bit distracting/tacky, IMO. And very interesting point on the robberies-so sad that any of the brands have had to deal with that!
I have an original puzzle and love it but also like the look of the edge. I want to get another puzzle (because I love mine and use it so much) and I am so fine with it being an edge. I actually like it more that they will be same-same but different. I don’t necessarily want two identical bags. I think I am in the minority though.

Aww I love that you take your time to really savor the shopping experience! i need to do that more 😊 And YES to Bvlgari service/quality!!
I agree with your take on bag charms. It's getting crazy.
Crazyyyy 😅!
So happy to be back with this series! Please share your other unpopular luxury opinions down below! I can't wait to hear them!🙃
I agree with a lot of your opinions! And your feedback about bottega makes me want to shop there! The andiamo is high up there on my list!
Do it! You will loooove it! 🥰

😊🥰 Aww thanks so much!
💯on the bag charms. I’m all for people doing what makes them feel happy, but for me they look childish and take away from the beauty of a nice bag😬.
Totally agree! Some are super cute, but others, I just don’t know… 🙈 lol!
I agree totally - many bag charms are not doing anything good for the expensive bags.
1000% 🫠🫠

That’s a very fair point! If they’re saving $, the cost should definitely go down!

Ooh that’s good to know! 😊
agreed!
Amazing 🥰💛!

“Same same but different” is the perfect way of putting it! Glad to hear you’re liking the edge too 😊
I agree with all of this ❤
Omg yay 🥳 I’m so glad we’re on the same page 🙌🏽
I hate the Jane birkinifying trend! It’s tacky lol
I totally get that! It’s definitely not for everyone (but I do think * some * people pull it off really well)!
Puzzle or puzzle edge it feels like a brick to me 😅 not flattering on most ppl
Well, at least it’s a fancy brick 🙃 lol!
@LilyShops Hahaha not complaining! I save some money lmao
💯!! In fact, my girl math calculations are showing that we’re saving thousands by not getting it 😂😂
@LilyShops Hahaha i like that 😁❤️
Chanel is truly the worst, like what is good about it anymore. Its embarrassing seeing influencers unbox new items from the store
Chanel is definitely falling off 😢 I find myself stopping in there less and less frequently these days 🙈
