Leather surgeons in the US does brilliant work as does Purse Rehab. They have replated 24k gold, gotten smoke smell entirely out of a vintage Chanel mini, and generally refreshed tired bags.
Sheesh 😢 I hate it here why has everything gone up so much in price! These fashion houses are raking in cash. Imagine if everyone’s businesses saw this type of profit margin year to year. What a world it would be. I wish I had the money I have now back then.
I haven’t watched Steph’s video, but I have to say that usually when other RUclipsrs talk about “this is what I paid way back when…” it comes off as kind of braggy and annoying to be honest but YOU made it really fun and entertaining. I was trying to figure out as I watched your video what the difference is and I can’t quite put my finger on it but THANK YOU for making such a light and fun video. Loved it!
Great video!😊 Lesson is…. Don’t sell.😉 every bag I bought was a big deal at that time…so I just couldn’t ever bring myself to sell any. If I don’t like it anymore it just sits there as a reminder to be more mindful. BUT, every now and then I’ll still use them. 😉💕
I tell myself I will sell but never do: just end up gifting. Every now and again I bring a bag out and make myself wear it. So the clothes fit around the bag rather than the reverse but start with the weather and occasion first. This way I'm rotating my bags more effectively. Sometimes I just put a bag on a small table and have it like a centrepiece to admire. Not sure it would work in a home with small children but it works for me...
Hi Amelia!Great video. Personally, I don’t pay attention to increases anymore, but watching your video hurts my stomach lol. You are correct, Chanel does not make caviar mini rectangular or square anymore since 2018 that was the last year they did. I have a mini caviar from 2018 and if I remember correctly, it was around 2,900 plus tax. I would have to check my receipts but I think that was the price. Now the bag goes for 6k + depending on condition and color and even more now the ones in caviar with top handle 😅 crazy but we love them don’t we?😂
Hi Amelia ! I saw some time ago a documentary ( a French channel " Arte" ) on Coco Chanel . When the Chanel 2.55 ( 2 for February and 55 for the year ) was released in 1955 it costed about 200 € ... happy 50's. Nowadays you can almost say : " last year this handbag was cheaper ".
Great video BUT lots of these increased priced bags ( lady dior etc ) can be bought for up to 50% off retail anyway) hence we have to choose carefully with our hearts and if they dont work sell on whilst they are still “the in thing “. Not saying your ones are but just saying some hold and increase what you paid and some drop. Thank you for the videos ❤
These prices and changes are just😳🙄I bought my Neverfull GM in Paris 12 yrs ago and it was between $600-700 USD (after VAT). Now, it’s over $2100 USD and you have to get on a waitlist (from what I read). Glad I bought it when I did, if I wanted spend that kind of money, I’d still have to wait on it.
Sometimes I just want to go back to the old prices and also the reasoning we had with that! I think a lot of us went crazy with buying bags because of the price increases!
If Louis Vuitton won't repair it there's a guy on the west coast of the US, Bedos Leatherworks he does those repairs and would trim the canvas down and replace and repair it all for you. He's such a craftsman and a great guy ruclips.net/video/QZQ7kZIWx5M/видео.html This one is a repair of a bag like yours but he doesn't trim down the bottom canvas, which he would if you asked him to. ruclips.net/video/qt7AzkxB5os/видео.html It's relaxing and fascinating to watch him work. There is also a repairer in NYC but I can't find the link. Will post it if I find it.
@@ameliarosescloset You're welcome! As your bag is sentimental I thought you may want to go the extra distance...cheers PS the second one goes into a bit of a diversion to promote tattoo artist ...he's doing a favour for his tenants. Not my thing so just fast fwd...he is a lovely person though.
That's mad as I also bought my Neverful MM In 2011 in BT's for about 495 euro! The first LV bag I got was the Papillon bag in 2004 for my 18th birthday for 425 euro! Absolute steals back then compared to now! 💚 🤍 💛
That pink Dior bag is stunning! The latest price increases are crazy. I bought an ABC Lady Dior in Nov 2021 for £3.3k and now they are £5k
that Is crazy
I purchased a Neverfull GM in 2013.I paid $975 USD. The bag is now priced at $2100 USD
Isn't it crazy!

I sent my classic flap to them to get the chain extended to wear cross body, they did a fabulous job

same, but I still thought they were so expensive back then!
My oldest lux bag was a celine from the mid 90s it was 400 dollars in Florence Italy
I love Florence

I'm def trying to make more considered purchases so i don't want to sell

This is a topic that really makes me think.
they attract a lot more judgement than an art statue

wow! imagine those prices!
Chanel prices are just crazy ..I bought my flap in April 2019 on impulse …also so glad I did it.
imagine trying to buy it now!
I got my 2012 gm neverfull DE for $800 Cdn in 2017 from consignment shop. Love love love it to bits
it's such a good bag

Very true!
Off topic but for the life of me I can’t find the shop you went through to lengthen the chain on your Chanels! Could you remind me? Thanks a ton!!
leather surgeons in New York x
@@ameliarosescloset THANK YOU!! I was like, leather doctors. Leather medicine. Leather… nurse? 🤣🤣🤣🖤🖤🖤

I'm not sure the waitlist is that accurate
The Capucine with the blue inlay -- is the top of the “L,” plain silver, no inlay???
yes I think it is a mix
WOW!!! Unbelievable how much luxury handbags have gone up in price!
Right?!
I paid £320 for my Speedy 25 back in 2007. It’s around £1200 now!!
crazy!
Amelia, could you explain what pound sterling means? How is that different from pounds ?
it is gap, same as pounds x
Wow! Where is the tap out going to be for these price increases?!
it has to be approaching!
This was a great video
Thank you!
Have you done a video on how many bags you actually have?
not in a while! I will do an updated bag collection when I do the other unboxings
❤❤❤❤❤ what brand your wearing ?
dior x
Sometimes I just want to go back to the old prices and also the reasoning we had with that! I think a lot of us went crazy with buying bags because of the price increases!
before it went up again, yes I think so
And FOMO.
@@deborahcurtis1385 that as well!!
Wait, I thought you just bought that pink lady Dior literally like three months ago lol boy how time flies
I know!!
Interesting video, Chanel really is crazy and it’s crazier how we just all take it as normal lol
We've become institutionalised!
$500 for a Neverfull then is almost like how it is now. It was a lot of money but now, its A LOT of money.
definitely A LOT in capital letters!
Watching 👀
Thanks for watching

me too
The increases are crazy ! You wonder when they will slow down else they’ll price everyone out ! ❤
it has to be approaching
I just realize this video is about your oldest bags. Why did you show the pink one if it’s only been a year? Lol
because I hadn't realised how much they had gone up in prize in one year!
