Monica I loved the video wow what an amazing time you have had. And those bags are beautiful I’m so torn between getting the black or cream coloured kodini bag❤❤ future colours a bright orange and a bright pink would be fantastic for spring summer.🎉
Love your bag designs, both elegant and practical and well priced. I'd love to see the designs in burgundy merlot. Ps Alex was playing one of my favourite Stevie Wonder songs 🎵 Ribbon in the Sky beautiful choice❤
What a great video Monica! The meal for Alex’s birthday looked wonderful and your bags are beautiful! Looking forward to the next vlog! Love your fur jacket too!! You have to treat yourself!! ❤
I love your new bags. They are stunning. I envy you being in Paris apartment sitting. Love the cats. Alex plays beautifully. Love the jewelry. Great vlog. I so enjoyed. Thank you.🥰
Hello Debra! Thank you so much - that so kind of you to say. I must say...watching back I am envious of myself and wish I was back there haha! Glad you enjoyed the vlog and thanks for watching xxx
Lovely handbags, Monica! And thank you for trying so hard to keep them in a price range that is accessible to many. What a great thing for you and your husband to develop this business together.
Hi Sweetie. So lovely to see a new video from you. THE BAGS ARE GORGEOUS!!!! I'm really really impressed. They look 'expensive and designer'. I, like you, have sensitive ears.... so here is a trick so you can wear stainless steel.... paint clear nail polish on to the ear post and allow to dry.... it acts as a barrier so you can wear any earrings you like. Happy New Year. Lots of love xxxxxxx
Hello Lisa! Thanks so so much! I’m so flattered and glad you love them. Wow! Never heard this tip before!!! Definitely will bear this in mind for future!! 😍 thanks for the kind words and tip! Monica xx
Hi Monica, thanks for sharing Paris (so far). Lovely apartment, restaurants and bengal kitties ❤ Loved your Zara coat and fake fur addition ❤. Congratulations on the Mills and Brown Handbags....stylish but versatile the Black is so classic but the Forest Green is stunning. Yourself and Alex should be very proud of your achievements. Look forward to the next vlog and Alex's Birthday. Good to have you back!
Hi Patricia! Thanks soooo much for your lovely comments/words (as always). Really appreciate your kind words about my vlog/coats/bags and have passed this on to Alex too!! Wishing you a fabulous evening! Monica xx
Congratulations ! These bags are just beautiful and a perfect size . Tan would be great for the up and coming season. Where did you study in Paris. My daughter was at University of London in Paris so we came to live it even more . Am dying to tell my corporate clients and followers about your bags ! I love them x x
Thanks so so much, I’m so pleased you love them! I agree on tan! We are working on another design too in tan, I’ll keep you updated on this channel 🥰 …That’s the same uni that I went to!!! 2013-2016 🫶🏼❤️ what a small world! Thanks for watching! Monica xxx
Thanks so much!! Really appreciate the feedback - we have cream - millsandbrown.uk/product/kodini-bag-in-buttermilk/ - Thanks so much for the kind words xx
Such gorgeous bags! Are you able to include photos of video of the interior of the bags? Do they have zip pockets? I love having sectioned pockets in bags. As for colours a gorgeous deep burgundy red wine colour would be lovely. A lovely chic red and a deep navy blue would be great too.
Thanks so much!! Yes - I can certainly take some and upload them to the website in the coming days/week - the Kodini bag is very space-optimised and so only contains a side card holder slot to maximise space for larger items like a small water bottle/perfume etc. I’m currently working on a design for the end of 2025 which is features internal compartments for more organising such as work and day trips ❤️ Monica xx
@@themonicaway. Thank you for your prompt reply Monica! I love your videos and fashion tips. And your bags are stunning too. I have the caviar black one on my birthday wish list, although I know it might be sold out by then. 🤞
Such a beautiful vlog Monica 💕💖💕. Loved every second. Brought back some memories when i was in Paris, wiith College. You and your husband are so beautiful together. Loved the earrings, and a big🎉 Congratulations 🎉 On your beautiful brand New Hand Bags🛍️ Love the colours, i think deep burgundy,💟 and flamingo pink💖 , would be wonderful also. Must of be amazing going through the details, designing your own handbags , very exciting. So Happy for you both. Happy Birthday 🎉to your Husband Monica, such a beautiful present , having precious memories together 💫💝💝💫 Sending you Lots of Love ❤❤
Thank you so much! What lovely feedback and glad it brought back fond memories. I have also passed on your kind words to Alex! Oh yes, Burgundy seems to be a very popular request...Very much noted for future designs! Sending love back and have a fab day! Monica x
I love your bags and such a good price. I have something in that style already in black, perhaps nude next or a pastel pink for summer? I went to Paris for my 50th so good to see it again. A river cruise in the evening when the Eiffel Tower is lit up is well worth it.
Great vlog I Love Paris the last time my Husband and I were there was on my 50th Birthday which was 25 years ago . The meal for you Husbands Birthday looked amazing Also I love you Handbags 👜 . And the pearls hope you enjoy the rest of your week ❤❤
Do you not make the sweet little black and white houndstooth cape? I want one so badly I can taste it. The fit is so nice and the pattern is small. I've wanted a cape for ages, we wore them when I was little but haven't had one since. And they tend to be too voluminous for a petite woman.
Hello! Its so beautiful and by Fairfax and Favor. Its currently on sale here: www.fairfaxandfavor.com/products/the-sienna-wool-cape-monochrome-houndstooth - I hope this helps! Monica xx
Thanks so much! On this occasion, it was a personal connection, however I have used this website before for UK housesitting (they do abroad too) - i had an annual membership which at the time (around 2 years ago) was £89: www.trustedhousesitters.com/?GoogleAds_Direct_Search_Brand+Non-Brand_UK_Acquisitions&HO_HouseSitting&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAs5i8BhDmARIsAGE4xHzolD468denWZGEoB17wen3HW31-VyqxnIZqyxES5oRPuVKAUNK2YYaAhRxEALw_wcB - there are also lots of facebook pages if you search 'housesitters/pet sitters' into the groups section. Hope that helps! xx
Thanks so much! I’m so happy to you like them. Oh yes! I absolutely will be continuing secondhand shopping tips, charity shops and general money saving shopping! I have secondhand 2025 shopping haul coming soon! Monica Xx
I watch your video's all the time Monica, this one is spectacular thank you for sharing your experiences with us, such a beautiful trip, thoroughly enjoyed Alex music, would be really interested in purchasing a cd if available ? beautiful handbags I feel so lucky, I have just ordered your Kodini Bag in Caviar Black and so grateful for the 10% off, I am so excited cant wait for it turn up. Looking forward to sharing Alex birthday with you in your next video. 🙂
Hello Laura! Thank you sooo so much for your kind words and for supporting our small business. We can't wait for you to receive your Kodini bag...they're even better in person! Really appreciate you watching and have passed on your kind words to Alex too! With love, Monica xxx
Wow that's a handsome husband and a beautiful wife❤ but how come there was a leather sofa and the cats? I'm so jealous, my cats would damage it in 1 hour 😅
Thats very kind of you to say, thank you! Hahaha, if you look closely..the leather chairs on the righthand side have been the cats' playground..so they spared the sofas kindly! Monica xx
Thanks so much! We hope to come out with some different materials in future - we will be avoiding 'vegan PU leather' as its plastic, but are looking at plant-based materials and also natural fibres such as raffia. Will keep you in the loop! Monica xx
