@@jwilliams3731 thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate you!!! Yes, my bags make me smile too!! For me I used to feel that way about luxury bags too!! But Coach is KILLING the game right now if you haven’t looked at their site. 😉
I have the small Loewe Puzzle and I love it so much! It's such a great everyday bag and it's great for travel as well due to the secure closer. I was almost templed to buy this "dupe" then realized it was PU and I said no ma'am, can't do. LOL
I have a replica piece in damier ebene its 6 ring key clay that looks really good after 4 years canvas look perfect and I also have a authentic mini pouchette that after 6 months of sitting in my purse the corners began to fade turned black sent pics to my sales associate he sent them for review they said that it was just normal wear and tear . After a Year that piece is fading everywhere and the chain is fading also after having it 3 year and it looks worse then any fake piece. So now I prefer my small leather good to be *esluxs* because I’ll never purchased a small leather good from Louis Vuitton again and pay that much for them to tell you that it’s just regular wear and tear.
Luxury bags are overpriced , you have to be stupid to pay that amount for bag. nowadays no one can distinguish a original from a *esluxy* so whats the point overpaying for the same product ?
Well, I’ve always been scratching my head about *esluxy* obsession with school bags and their practicality, but this video is adorable! Congratulations.
I loved watching this thorough comparison! I get mad at luxury prices daily but you’re right about the reason why we pay them - the quality. As long as it’s there, I can’t stay mad for too long 😂 I’m happy there are so many alternatives available though. TFS!
There are definitely alternatives. This one was a fail. 🤭 BUT, I’m glad I tried it. And you’re right, having a well made beautiful handbag is definitely worth it in the end for me. Thank YOU for watching. I appreciate you.
Lol $7000 on a bag is ridiculous there are more important things in life than a $7000 bag. I’ll take the *esluxs* in this case because I can’t afford the real thing.
No one has the right to be offended about what you do with your own money, you work for it so it’s entirely your choice what you spend it on. Enjoy your *esluxy* , don’t feel guilty xxx
There's a psychological side to it. I can confirm the feeling just isn't the same when you're unpacking a dupe, compared to an authentic, handcrafted piece. For me, its like a journey; opening the package, then the box, taking off the paper, layer by layer, smelling the leather... Ahh, you just CAN'T beat that! The only problem is your wallet is a lot thinner afterwardsEven though i've experienced both scenarios, i still end up buying a *esluxy* .
Thank you for putting in effort. I found out the *esluxs* I'm having which I was considering for real .Somebody gifted me and made me feel that the gift was so expensive. i found out the stitching thing on the side straps, dropping of canvas, quality of leather on the straps helpful keep the good work going on ...Thank you so much
I received the *esluxs* small puzzle bag for Christmas in textured leather red and I adore this bag. It is so easy to use, so we'll made, love the ease of the zippers and can hold so much. I love the look of it and it is so comfortable to wear and never feel it is heavy even wearing all day. Love your videos and style. Thanks for sharing
I would go to the *esluxy* to buy a purse. I wouldn't buy it over the store. I would be too afraid of getting cheated. Great video . Thank you for the knowledge. Congratulations on your expanding family
Fake ones have come a long way...I have an "NF" and it passes all your tests, stitching the package, lettering, etc. I don't think your old fake is a good example. Besides, there are *esluxs* that are very cost-effective and they deserve to be seen.
Hi Funmi , I found your channel today and I am so happy I did. I am a *esluxs* 8 years old eccentric Dutch grandmother of 4. You are my kind of person…I was a bit down before but you made me feel a lot better!
The fact that the counterfeits are just as well made as the "real" ones, which is the case with the *esluxy* I know of, should make you wonder why you should pay the ridiculously high price tag.
Hahaha I love that sign in the background, and that pretty candle holder - curious what you were burning (is my 'candle addict' showing lol?!) Such a helpful video, I'm awful at knowing the differences and go thrifting a lot, so I'm always nervous to pick up *esluxy* , jackets, so many others things - ugh! You are always so knowledgeable about these luxury brands. You can definitely notice the high quality stitching.
One celebrity stylist admitted that many celebrities wear *esluxy* . This is nothing new or strange. And many times we see celebrities posing in magazines, and the photos for promotions and advertisements are given by brands or borrowed by themselves.
I love the clip you inserted where you embellished the red patent leather double flap of the *esluxy* because you can really see the red when you discuss it and it looks a bit orange. So pretty!! I’ve been looking for a blue gradient color
Funny, this is my first time coming to your channel. I've been waffling about the puzzle bag for years, but not wanting to deal with the $$$$. I've seen the bag on Amazon and was like hmmmmm. Thanks for the comparison.
@@kkyles605 you’re very welcome. Take a look at The Horse bag as well. It’s a more cost effective option. And real leather as well. Very similar silhouette. Thank you for watching. I appreciate you!!! 💕💕💕💕
I have the smaller LV *esluxy* on the go tote from Walmart and I love it. I also have the larger in black but it is soft that it doesnt hold structurly like I prefer. I dont use those long straps.
I have a Chanel lambskin square pearl bag and a Chanel handbag but my lambskin square petal bag I have worn 2 times and I am very careful but somehow still has small scratches on the leather and the gold on the clasp. I don’t know what happened but I paid over $3,000 for it a few years ago and I am upset that it already has scratches. No one notices now but I notice the price I paid for it. I’m saving up to buy another *esluxy* bag now that I won’t be paying full price anymore.
Sis, your just as funny on here than TikTok...lol! I purchased a *esluxs* 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.
Omg yes mine(authentic) has a odor inside too! Idk what it is bcus none of my other *esluxy* bags have an odor. Called lv and they said it was normal and that I could wipe the inside with a damp cloth.I also thought the lining was suede but it is actually microfiber so I'm going to look up ways to remove odors out of microfiber cus the smell stops me from using it as much.
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 *esluxy* 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
For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I'll be happy that I have the *jklux* as my travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
I need to come back and watch this end to end later but I was REALLY curious about the dupe so I went to look on Amazon. I LOVE the black one. As usual, THANK YOU for actually trying them on so we can see what it looks like. I think I'm about your height so it's really helpful (I think you said you're 5'8" in a prior video?). That bag opening might bug me but for the price (and what the quality looks like), I think I could ignore it. Great video!
Yup, 5’8 and 200lbs. It helps to see the bags on someone’s frame. That’s my LEAST favorite part of the video cuz I’m self conscious BUT I do it for my friends who are making decisions about how handbags will fit them. 😉 Thank you so much for watching and letting me know you enjoyed it!!!!
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 *esluxs* now myself.
I have ordered from this *esluxy* store several times, a total of 6 bags. The average quality is very high. Moreover, they stand behind their sales and have issued refunds on some products that did not meet the stated quality. I recommend being specific about the standards you expect from them. It's always a balance between cost and standards.
Thank you for the breakdown between dupes, alternatives and replicas/ counterfeit items. Not many know the difference. I still like my dupe to be made of good quality and with leather so I would recommend Tiffany and Fred Paris. ⚠️ Warning you it can get addicting because of the price. I bought 4 bags in span of 1 week almost. But I love them. I did video on my channel about them too. Great video!
I’m gonna run right over to your channel to check that video out. You are ABSOLUTELY right. You can buy 4 Coach bags for one low end LV or YSL. It becomes hard to stop yourself. 🤭
Most people who say it's an investment piece have never actually sold their bag. Fashion enthusiasts or other companies take huge commissions from it. By the way, if I had to choose between investing in stocks and Chanel bags, I'd bet that S&P stocks would do better. Bags may also be damaged or lost, so it is better to buy bags for daily use from *esluxy* with a normal mind.
Hi, I have a dilemma. If the dupe is not as good, but the luxury bag is 100 times price of the dupe, and if we prefer brand new, how do justify whether the luxury bag is worth the price? I mean, is it really 100 times nicer than the dupe? Would love to hear everyone's thoughts on this.
I don’t think the authentic is 100 times better. The price has quality, name recognition, brand and a lot more baked into the price. Definitely not just quality. We know this cuz Chanel removed the gold plating. LV has had lots of issues with design, front pockets askew on the bumbag for example.
I agree with you, I'm not paying thousands for a small bag because of the name brand. Getting the brown Amazon bag and the reviews are excellent. I rather pay less and still look cute instead of paying thousands. I'm trying to get out of debt.
@@yvetteshokere7818 yeah, just that sometimes we feel underwhelmed, because then texture n quality of the real thing is really nicer than the dupe, maybe I feel paying 10 times more is worth it, but 100times the price of dupe is too much
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.
I’m not sure. I’ve only seen the one size in my video when I looked on Amazon. You might wanna look at Songmont the Drippy. It’s got all the puzzle bag feels and a much softer design so easier to access. Let me know if you’ve considered that bag as an option.
I love your purple bag. Where did you get the purple one. I wish I could find a *esluxs* in the purple... Any suggestions where I could get a lilac or lavender color chanel?
The other factor is if you are vegan like myself and you want something cruelty free. I think the puzzle bag is so desirable. I bought the dupe by mistake and haven’t unpacked it yet. I have low expectations tbh lol. Love from UK 🇬🇧👏🙌💐xx Maybe you could rate vegan luxury items in future? Just sayin”..🥰
I can definitely do that!!!! I never even thought about that and don’t know why!!! Cuz I like Tabitha Brown & she’s vegan and carries vegan handbags!!! Thanks for the suggestion. And I appreciate you watching. Especially all the way in the UK! 🥰
OMG! You need to absolutely keep it! Whether it's true or not, this is special to you. People create packages, packages do not create people. Rock it girl, salute H Q L U X Y !
