- In the world of social media, content creators and influencers are always telling you here is the next best thing to buy. I am first a consumer and I was influenced to buy two bags at great deals but I should not have. I regret my purchases and I'm here to tell you why. Don't always trust content creators because everything comes down to preferences and standards. It might work for them but it might not work for you. JW Anderson Corner Bag

You're so right on not buying 'final sale' items unless you've tried them in person. I've made that mistake too many times. 😵💫
Urgh. I figured it would've been on since these reviews I watched were YTers that have a lot of high end bags. I trusted their judgement since I figured oh, they have the same standards as I do. Nope. Clearly not. How foolish of me 😭
I bought JW Anderson The Corner bag, partly because of the influencers and partly because I found it on sales. While it doesn’t feel luxurious, I like it and it has become my go to everyday bag. It’s lightweight, for now cannot complain about quality and moreover it’s more spacious than it looks like. But I wouldn’t pay for it the full price of around 1000 USD for sure.
Glad you love yours! Thanks for sharing!
Why are there so many mean, judgey comments? If you want to totally SlMP for influencers then why are you here watching this video? She was completely upfront about it.
Aw so sweet of you. All good! I welcome the hate 😂
A few years ago I purchased a Jimmy Choo bag based on a Tamara Kalinik video. Big mistake..it was so heavy must have weighed 10Lbs empty lol😮
The bigger influencers aren’t reviewing the items they show and most are gifted! Love her videos but lesson learned!
I hope you were able to return it!
I try not to buy any bags online nowadays. No matter how great the reviews are, some things are very personal. For example I thought Polene would be great, I wanted to get 2-3 from the Paris boutique. But I left in disappointment bc the leather is so stiff and plastic, glazing not straight etc. Glad I waited to go in person to buy one. Great video!! Thank you for your honesty xxx
You're right, everything is super personal. I think its ok to buy online as long as the site/platform is super easy to work with and have a return policy. Polene has been great in years past. Quality has declined as of late.
@@Somehowadulting Oh yes I agree return policy is important with online purchase! I am also looking at Parisa Wang madison micro. Will see how it goes ☺️
I so agree. You can't always trust influencers on social media. I'm looking at that candle like, what type of toxins are in it? And the bags are Super cute... It almost sounds as if, someone is testing out new materials and it was a Total Fail. Thanks for sharing your
First Impression Review.💚
I was shocked in regards to the candle and incredibly annoyed with they pushed back about it. Thanks for your input!
omg I was considering the first one but that leather is not even worth it at half off. And the noise on the 2nd one is a no go. thank you so much for these honest reviews!!!!
Absolutely! Glad you found me and not have to make the same mistake as I did.
Thank you for being honest! I corner bag at the store & didn’t like it, but then i saw several people talking about it so i started wondering if i was wrong.. Now i know i wasn’t
Girl, I was so disappointed! Always trust your own instincts.
I love your direct honesty, no nonsense, no games! New subscriber here!👍🏻
Thanks girl! 😊😊
Final sale always gives me pause. It’s crazy the tote bag is so noisy! Great video!
Yea. I am definitely learning from my mistakes. Sigh...
Thank you for talking about the corner bag! I was thinking about getting it, and now you've de-influenced me :)
I tell it how it is. I don't want anyone to be disappointed like I was.
I was between Toteme T-lock and the JWA corner bag. A friend of mine told me to get the Jacquemus Le Calino, instead of the JWA Corner, or go ahead and buy the T-lock. I was lucky I could feel the leather of the corner bag and the le calino in person before buying it, I thought this must be a joke. Corner is soooooo bad, compared to the buttery soft Le Calino (but it also seemed too soft and precious).
All in all I bought the Toteme T-Lock and I’m very happy with it, it looks very luxurious but slouchy/casual at the same time.
Ohh yes ive covered toteme a few times and I still haven't got one myself. They are also a very sustainable brand. Now I'm on the hunt. Glad to hear you really enjoy your toteme!
Crossaints are my kryptonite. Who am I kidding all breads too. I’m sorry the bags were a fail. But thank you so much for the review you saved me from wasting money on the JW corner bag. I live near Nashville too and it’s hard to sample all brands. I’m loving your channel!
Carbs in general are my kryptonite 😂 I'm in Nashville too!!! Glad my money waste activities helped 😆
I purchased the exact same pink small corner bag and returned. For me it was getting in and out of the bag-ugh too much trouble. I did purchase the small corner leather bucket bag and love it. Leather is really nice, bag is super lightweight and it works perfect for me.
Yes I realized that after I filmed this video. I'm like WOW. I should have tried putting all my stuff in there. Yea, at this point I don't even plan on keeping either. Thanks for sharing!
That tote bag is the adult equivalent on the toddler shoes that squeak when the kid walks in them so the parents know where their kid is. Yeah, I don't think the sound will go away. Both JW bags would look cute with a corgi charm though!
Hahaha omg yes! That is annoying. And stop it. I’m not spending 400 bucks on a Loewe corgi bag charm 🤣
Thank you for your honest review of the Small Corner bag. I was tempted to buy it as someone said that it is nice. :) I am glad now that I havent bought it yet.
Yes. Always do your own research and don't do what I did...
Omg!! That noise/squeaks that tote makes would def drive me insane!!! 😮😅 reminds me of nails being scratched on a blackboard or something!!! So annoying you can't return it 😢
Nails on chalkboard 😂 yes I'm not happy about it
Oh wow. I have two JW Anderson bags and the quality and leather are rather good. They were part of the Run Hany limited collection (Korean anime). I've always thought about buying more from this brand but now I better think about it!
I'm glad you are happy with yours! I certainly wasn't. I mean don't stop based on my review of these two bags. Just make sure there is a return policy if you do 😅
Wow I saw a TH-camr from Australia say she loves the shoulder bag but now I have second thoughts nice to see someone honest
Yes, we both know exactly who that is. 😒
I am starting to wonder if some of these luxury TH-camrs are responding to the financial times by only reviewing bags that are sent to them. I have seen the same mid range bags reviewed by everyone Demeiller, that sogmont, and this other French one. You are the only person with unique ones
@MsEasyBeautiful I don't think so? There has been a lot of luxury fatigue. How many reviews can you do on the same bags right? At some point, you need to diversify and cater to what your viewers are asking for. I'm a small content creator hence I don't get too many brands reaching out to me so I do have to spend more money to review these indie brands. But I'm happy to do so because this is truly a passion of mine! Thanks for your support 😍
Ah! How disappointing but thank you for sharing! The pink bag looks so cute from far away but appreciate your honest review!
Always!! It does look cute. I also found another annoying thing about it. The opening. Definitely not using this bag.
That squeaking of tote bag would drive me crazy! The bag is attractive, but definitely a no go. I’m sorry your bags didn’t work, it’s happened to me and it’s very disappointing.
It was an expensive learning experience. Definitely don't do what I did! 😭
Dang! Your JW Anderson pink bag is so pretty. It's sad it's lacking in quality. Oh well, NOBODY looks at our bags as closely as we do.😂And I love the look of your tote. I think the squeak will go away, but sell if you must. We handbag lovers revel in getting a new bag, so unboxing fails are a major bummer.😟🤗🌻
I found a new annoyance with this bag. The opening of the corner bag is impossible to get in and out of. I hate it.
Can you do a jewelry collection video?
Hi! I plan on it at some point as I’ve gotten a few requests. I don’t have the most extensive collection however.
The more realistic it will be then!
I felt the same way when I received my Polene bag that I was influenced to buy when they were first all the rave on TH-cam.
Disappointed and I think I’ve used the bag twice. I’ve never been tempted to buy another.
Which polene bag did you get? I actually love my Polene bags but it seems like nowadays, it's crap shoot in terms of quality.
@@Somehowadultingit’s the numero nuef I believe? The one that’s shaped like the dumpling. I bought it probably 4 or 5 years ago before the quality issues. I got the chestnut color and I just think it looks plastic-y. I also hate the thin little shoulder strap. I just think it looks cheap. I know that many love Polene and I just don’t like this particular bag.
You have the best bag review videos!
Thanks for letting me know Alice!
Hi, just wanted to know something. About the JW Anderson cornet tote bag( the one at min 11 aprox) how do you feel about the stitching on the bottom? I got mine as a present, it’s very heavy and the stitching on the bottom seems to actually break into the leather! Has anyone been encountering this or is my bag a fake?:(. Once again, i got it as a present, i did not ask the buyer where they got it from but i am guessing they did not buy fake, or did not try as we are talking about really close friends.
If anyone has noticed that flaw, of the bottom stitching cutting into the leather, please let me know. I would like to try and sell it but i would not sell a fake!
Hi! I don't have the bag with me so I can't check for you however I dont think it would be fake as this was not a super popular bag. Try Google lens it and see if any effy sites come out with it. That should be a good indicator if yours could be fake.
JW Anderson versus Loewe is like Karl Lagerfeld as brand versus Chanel…. Always thought it was a copy brand actually (KL, not JWA ) 😊
For the material description of the small corner bag in black it says 90% calf leather, 8% Nylon and 2% polymer… that is for the outside, that will tell you how heavy the coating is… real heavy, which gives you the plastic feeling, if you’s is the same… some of them say 100% full grain calf leather, so maybe different… but the inside is 60% nylon/40% polymer… so not really high quality for 1000$
That is super true. I should have known better. Foolish me, I figured for the other YTers that have a vast range of high quality bags said nice things about the corner bag. I'm like ok cool let's do it. It must be nice. I should have done more due diligence on my own. I also bought it from shopbob which I don't think have the full description.
the best bag on sale that i got this week was self portrait.
Is it my phone?, why is your head cut off in this video?😮
Watch this video for context on why I don't show my face th-cam.com/video/uI5JjytpN5c/w-d-xo.html
I'm not trying to be miss know it all. My saddle squeaks at times. I use a little powder or saddle conditioner. If you don't want to do it yourself maybe find a cobbler? They should fix it right up. Yes squeaks are annoying. 😊
No no, you’re just making a suggestion. Yea it’s definitely worth looking into…or just sell the bag lol
Oh no that’s unfortunate. Your situation reminds me of the same thing with Karl Lagerfeld where he had his own line and the leather is not that great.
Oh there is a long list of the same situation. You are putting your name on it. Don't you think you should check for quality before letting it go out into the world? I mean, I would.
There are 4 brands popular with influencers whose quality I've been dubious about: Senreve, Parisa Wang, DeMellier and Mansur Gavriel. The fact that so many influencers have gotten Senreve & Parisa Wang bags for free makes me doubtful whether their endorsements of these brands are genuine. I haven't seen any Senreve or Parisa Wang bags in person, but from the videos and photos I have seen, both brands' leather looks plasticky. As for DeMellier and Mansur Gavriel, I've touched bags from both brands in a department store and I did *not* like the feel of the leather.
Have you checked out my video of all the popular IG bags that I won’t spend money on? You might find it interesting which is aligned to much of what you mentioned. I will say Senreve is quite high quality however I only own one of their bags. I can’t speak to Masnur Gavriel and I don’t think they’ve gifted their bags to influencers? Not that I’ve seen before. I did buy one for my mom but I haven’t heard her say any faults with it. I do get gifted bags but I will always be honest about it even if I’m gifted them.
@@Somehowadulting I haven't seen any influencers be gifted Mansur Gavriel bags either: I've specifically seen Senreve and Parisa Wang gifted a lot. There's also Teddy Blake: almost every review of a Teddy Blake bag I've seen the bag was gifted by the brand. But the few non-sponsored/gifted reviews I've seen of their bags have been less positive.
@@crystallewis5902 here is my video th-cam.com/video/Xpn7Q5fLdeI/w-d-xo.html
I bought Senreve myself and I have nothing but good things to say about them! I poo poo Teddy Blake pretty hard in that video 😂
I have a suede and leather Demellier, bought maybe four years ago now, still looks fab and leather is wearing well so wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them
On the description did the pink jw Anderson not state leather/vegan leather? Also I second the final sale….i need to see and touch a bag if it’s going to be final sale!
Also the squeak of the tote would so annoy me 🙈🙈🙈
It said cow leather. That’s usually the first thing I look at before purchasing. Ultimate regret with the whole final sale thing. Sigh
dude idk. Is the pink JW bag truly even real leather though? are either of them actually leather, tbh? something seems off. ETA, okay i see the tan bag is supposedly suede on the inside so maybe it is all leather...
It definitely is real leather. It just isn't great high quality leather..
@@Somehowadultingsuch a bummer. his bags were definitely intriguing.
Ooo i really like the tote, i don't have this brand at all
This is my first. And definitely last.
Such a bummer
I was upset 😭
I’d buy the tote, where are you listing it?
Hi! Shoot me a DM on IG or Email!
That JWA pink corner bag looks like it has too much coating to its leather, making it wrinkly and less feel luxurious
I wonder what tanner leatherstein would say 😂
Wait sis you can’t be expecting to get Loewe leather at JW Anderson prices. Esp when it goes into sale that’s when one buys JWA.
Well, the loewe puzzle tote retails for 1850 and this JW tote retails for 1150. That 700 dollar difference is not astronomical so you would think that quality would be similar. I didn't expect it to be the same but as least close.
"WaiT SiS, YoU CaN't Be ExPeCtiNg..." any bag to actually be worth more than $250 in material and labor costs, right? Go watch a Tanner Leatherstein video before you make judgey, snotty comments that show you don't know what you're talking about.
Never buy what ever these influencers peddle, they get them gifted becos we pay full price😢, it s disgusting 🤮. They are just salesman for the big names.
I hope you don't feel the same way about me. 🥲
@@Somehowadulting what I said was a general rule you are buying what you like and what u want to wear, there is a difference, these influencers they get inundated with pr packages and it s unbelievable to say the least, perks.... Normal people who work in an industry get perks as well, for example when u work for an airline you do a free ticket but it has to qualify all the rules and that is once a year depending on which airline you work for, it s not everyday any day
Grt advice to not believe influencers including you? 😂
Hey I did say, take everything I say with a grain of salt and do your own due diligence. What works for me might not work for you
