Could you please do a jewellery collection video 🙂
Jenny MATHEW yes!
Second that 😍😍😍
Yes please!!!!
Yes please
I make a ‘mock up’ of the bag in paper exact to measurements so I can physically see how big the bag is and what fits in. It’s saved me from making some expensive mistakes and helped in my decision-making. ♥️
LadySusan Jane what a great idea!!
LadySusan Jane I do the same thing
I love your videos about quality designer or vintage purchases. This kind of content is hard to find from someone who uses these items with class and purpose! Well done!
It's always fun to go for things that people don't usually look for. About 6 or 7 years ago I bought two 90s Chanel coats really cheap on eBay, no-one else was bidding at all, but the vintage little black jackets get into huge bidding wars. I've since had to invest a few hundred pounds taking the amazing camel wool coat to have the black plastic fabric panels (thanks 90s Karl) replaced by Chanel, with a nice wool, but it was worth it for a coat I will have forever!
It was helpful to have a friend who was from a rather wealthy family who knew his grandmothers Chanel clothes like the back of his hand, it was at his recommendation that I bought the coats, and trained my eye for the genuine!
Best video! I love vintage bags. I wanted a black lamb skin Chanel Waller on a chain,but the prices kept going up and up. I went randomly,one day to a nearby village to meet my husband, who rode his bike there, for coffee. I was a bit early so I thought I'll look round a few shops. I went to a little vintage shop. They had a beautiful biege patent lady Dior bag. On the counter, without a price tag was the bag....the black Chanel lamb skin wallet on a chain....I was so excited and prepared to pay up to £800 for it....I asked how much and it was £400!! I'm so happy with it and wear it quite a lot. The other bag wasn't for sale, but I found a similar one on Designer exchange website for a really good price too. I also go a Dior wallet. It had little d rings inside so I bought a little chain and wear that like a WOC too.
Ooooooooooh! Lucky you! Nice story. Thanks for sharing. X
✨Thank you for this! It was very informative & thorough. I appreciate all of the work you put into this 🌟✨
Perfect timing! I've been agonizing the past two weeks looking to purchase my first pre-loved designer bags so I was so excited to watch this. And my GOODNESS those bags are GORGEOUS!
Your vintage pieces are gorgeous and you gave great tips-research is definitely key. I agree with you about those two online sites. I wouldn’t patronize Vesteaire; they’re just ridiculously expensive. The preloved market is so huge. I’ve only been interested in it in recent years, but I’ve found some wonderful people who also sell luxury items on line. Julia Rose Boston is one and she sells luxury handbags and other amazing items at affordable prices; her Chanel pieces are amazing and more modern than vintage. She is London and Boston based. My tip for anyone is no matter where you purchase, authenticate and make sure your purchase is protected no matter what.
La sakoj ene de *preluxz* estas perfektaj kiel donacoj por amikoj. La prezo ne estas alta kaj la kvalito estas bona.
Do you have any tips on how to care for/clean Chanel bags? I have a well loved one and could use a good cleaning.
EDIT: or any other luxury bags! Thanks
I can in no way afford a Chanel bag and probably never will but I adore looking at and admiring them from afar and I loved watching this new video format. It’s the kind of questions you always have but never know who to ask. If I ever am in the position to buy a bag like the vintage chanels then I will definitely come back to this for reference! Xx
I adore that vanity case! It's beautiful!
I would love to know have you ever bought a fake bag by accident or totally overpaid for a bag? Xxxx
Loved this video. A whole bag collection video would be amazing to watch including all your bags bought brand new. Thanks x
I noticed the second black vintage Chanel bag on your Instagram account, when you where in Dubai with Nars. I hope you still have the vintage Chanel bag, since your suitcase got stolen.
It's such a lovely bag/clutch.
Miryam Haveman if I recon correctly, Fleur always carries her designer items and valuables in her carry on precisely in case her suitcase gets lost or stolen. Hope this was the case!
Me too, I thought immediately about the stolen suitcase, I would be HEARTBROKEN if that happened to me because I tend to bring all my most favourite, top prized possessions on a trip. I find myself wondering about poor Fleur in the aftermath of having bet suitcase stolen. It occurred to be that poor Fleur got targeted by someone who knew her during the Dubai trip, or flew on same flight and knew her stuff is amazing to die for. Or it could have been a random employee who stole it, who knows.either way, it’s hugely upsetting, I’d be broken hearted. My heart goes out to Fleur
Her suitcase was stolen out of her vehicle I think not at the airport, while
she was on her run with Mike back in England.
Fleur would you plz share with us how you organise your time , 😊😊
YESS I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THE VINTAGE VIDEOS!! I'm so excited, please keep them coming
Hi Fleur- I've been wanting to buy from Fashionphile but how much is the tax when it's shipped to the UK.
are you wearing a st christopher necklace? if so, what size?
Chanel is my favourite brand, so classic, chic and timeless! I was gifted my first vintage Chanel bag 9 years ago when I was 26 and with practically daily use, it’s worn incredibly well. You really can feel the difference in quality by the weight, the feel of the leather and robustness of the bag. Fakes are much more plastic and flimsy. It’s my dream to gift my little baby niece my collection of vintage Chanel handbags when she’s older so I’ve been on the look out for places to purchase - I will be exploring all your recommendations - thank you, Fleur! By far one of the best & most informative vlogs I’ve seen in a while. So dreamy to see your collection, thanks for sharing! Xx
I use my *preluxz* as a work bag and have had no issues at all. It’s a comfortable bag, fits a good amount and hadn’t lost its shape. With that being said, I also take care of all my bags and don’t carry a water bottle, pens, keys or anything that can damage the interior.
Thanks for making this video Fleur! It's what I've been waiting for 😍
I wish I could afford all these bags. They are beautiful
loving your collection so much❤️❤️
I just want your watch. So gorgeous! Can you show us your watch collection?
Do you know the style name of the bag from the 80s? I’m so into it and need to buy.
Thanks! I'm on a hunt for a vintage jumbo so all the tips are superuseful!
GOALS!!!
One day, I hope to buy a Chanel bag. They are so beautiful. Lucky Fleur! 😘
I love that jumper on you Fleur! You style is always amazing 😍
This was very interesting to watch even though I don’t have much interest in purses and bags! I do love buying antiques and vintage home goods 💕
Great video! Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and information about it! It was very helpful for me 👍
Love the design of the early 80's tiny bag! I'm not a collector of vintage designer bags, but it is so stunning! Maybe I'll have to get started ;)! Lovely video!
So happy your bag wasn’t in your suitcase when it was stolen. It is such a unique beautiful bag and was so sad when I thought it had been stolen xxx
Lilypops I totally thought it was part of the stolen luggage after to talked about it earlier in that video, too. Phew.
What lens and camera are you using here?
So chique! Love this one you usually wear like a clutch. Thank you for sharing!
When I was in LA we drove past The Real Real boutique store . It was at night so they were closed but just looking in the window was enough to make me swoon
Love that jumper! Where is it from please?
Loved this video Fleur. So interesting! I bought an Alexander McQueen bag from Vestiaire and got such a good discount!
Fleur, what do you use to clean your Chanel bags?
Hi Fleur! Could you please tell me if a phone fit in your vintage cc tassel bag? Thanks so much!
Such good tips, and many no one else really covers. I too appreciate a vintage bag. The quality and history are refreshing compared to an “it” bag. Though not discriminating here 😊 a good bag always catches my eye, old or new.
Wow love these!
Beautiful bags 😍 when you buy the bags in America do you get them delivered to your hotel?
The bags are lovely Fleur, way out of my price point but great heirlooms for River.......Donna in Toronto
Lov your vanity! Have a smaller version myself. 💕 looked like a "luxe" buy at the time but use it so much!!!
Thank you for the video. Could you do an indepth review of the Chanel beauty case? It looks amazing!
Hi Fleur, What is the watch you are wearing in this video please? xx Gorgeous bags by the way
Hi there! I’m thinking of purchasing a mini camera bag like the tassel you have. Looking for advice. In your opinion is $2500 too much and second mightbit fit an iPhone X? Thanks!
Great vid. I'd also rec Fashionphile and the RealReal. I've bought and sold through both and have never had a problem.
I enjoyed this so much!
Love this type of video!! Xo
Such a lovely bags! Love, love,love...🤩😍 Also love your jumper, where is it from?😊
That vanity case is such a good deal!! Beautiful!
I’m trying to learn more as I’ve gotten my first vintage. Around 3:50 the mini black flap - the “CHANEL” heat stamp doesn’t match Chanel’s original font and I’ve been told it’s never changed. My bag is like that too… but I can’t find any information on it. Do you know anything?
So, so helpful!! Thank you Fleur
Ooh this was very interesting, love it.
May i know what's ur lipstick u r wearing pls?
All of your vintage bags are gorgeous!
i wanted to see inside the vanity case!
If you are in the LA area, the actual store for REAL REAL is there. They have a lot of fun items.
Heather J yeah there’s one in New York as well ;)
@@Skyebright1 Does the NYC location have furniture?
Heather J I don’t know, I haven’t been yet ;)
eBay is actually a great way to shop for vintage designer! Especially shopping from a trusted Japanese seller, as the laws on buying/selling counterfeit goods in Japan are VERY strict. You will save a tonne of money going this route rather than over paying from Vestiare/TRR etc.
I fell in love with the square mini when I saw Chase Amie’s. They’re beautiful
carrie c agree ;)
The first one is absolute classic!😍😍😍
I love the vintage Chanel’s !
Love the beige bag. X
I love this different kind of video 😊😊 so interesting!
Damn I use to be a huge fan of this channel. Taking a trip down memory lane
I still love my LV reverse monogram LYXBAG clutch! It's versatile, fits a variety of items, and is definitely a workhorse! I think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof that it's
So helpful Fleur, thank you x
Such GREAT comparisons! Allllll soooo lovely! Especially the *preluxz*
That vintage Chanel vanity is being sold at 3k+ on farfetch so you got a bloody steal!
Where is your watch from Fleur? Would love to see a jewellery collection video😍💕
NEED THIS SWEATER in my life 😍 details please!
Fleur, you are truly unique and this video is amazing, well done. Executed perfectly. My heart truly goes out to you regarding the suitcase. I’d be absolutely heart broken if that happened to me, I’d lose it. Condolences my dear.
That vanity case tho😍😍😍😍😍 I mean ❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Great investment Fleur 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 Lucky woman and River will have Great hand me downs in The future 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love this!!!!!!!!
I really loved this video. Can you make a video about how to go about buying luxury goods and chanel bags. i have wanted the classic flap for years, not only is it a cars worth of money but also seems intimidating to buy, send help! :) ;)
I agree with Fleur. I collect vintage Armani and have found The Real Real a great source. Everything is authenticated, everything is in top notch quality, and everything is carefully packaged for shipment. I, also, do the two day shipment option, even though I live in the US. I have found perfectly preserved pieces from the early 1980s as well as pieces from a year ago, still with the original tag on them. I can’t recommend this company highly enough.
Wayne Porter agree I like the real real
Amazing bags love your vintage collections
Fleur, please can you comment on the lawsuit Chanel filed against the RealReal in recent months and whether you think this will impact the long-term resale of Chanel items?
Whats the name of the small cute double c tassel bag?
The little CC camera bag, do you still have it?
Pleeeasse could you do a video about your watch? How you decided o it, was it a gift, tips for buying watches etc? Ps love your videos
I’d love to see your full Chanel collection! Also I want to know your input in Burberry bags because Im thinking on getting one but I much rather use the money for a trip 🙃
Fernanda Gracida save it for the trip personally, Burberry bags don’t have great resale value
great video! i also have to agree! vestiaire collective is a great shop if you are on the hunt for a vintage piece or if you are looking for a piece from a past collection you cant get anymore, i bought a lot there but i would never sell anything there cause i think they charge waaaaay to much for that!!! i dont see the point to sell a chanel bag there for 1300 and i would just get 975. thats a bit extreme for me cause the only thing they do is just giving a plattform to sell and authenticate, i dont think its fair to charge that much
however-i bought a vintage chanel belt bag in nightblue with gold hardwear today 😍
cant wait to receive it 😍
The Chanel black and beige square minis are lovely better than the new version , thanks for the Real Real recommendation amazing prices 🌹❤️🌹❤️
Nail Wizz Tech agree
Absolutely loved this video! Would actually love more of these kind of videos talking any and everything about luxury items! Also as always would love more vlogs!
Love ur bags and jewelry
I feel like i'd like to start collecting bags too when I finish my degree & hopefully get a good job! You have a lovely collection! x
It would be really interesting to see a maintenance video of your vintage bags. =) Do you take care of them your self or do you have to turn them in to a specialist for cleaning the leather and so on.
New subbie! I enjoyed this video❤️
Don't forget about the potential massive import charges when purchasing a bag from abroad - I believe UK import tax is around 40% for clothing, bags, etc. Not such a great deal when you have a bill for a few hundred £ arrive on top of the purchase.
Please do a watch and jewelry collection video 😘
I have one vintage Chanel bag. Cost me an arm and a leg ;) i live it though. N i love this video!
Great video!!!
where do you buy vintage ?
The Real Real is great. I purchased gorgeous designer shoes from there, probably way too many lol. I have two prized pairs of Brian Atwood heels that were about $100 a piece and in mint condition. I broke two feet last year so I can't wear them anymore but they make a nice accent to my vanity lol. Overall though, great site, great customer service.
Jennifer Rinaldi agree it’s a great site
You are WONDERFUL!!!! XOX
I have the same cream bag undyed. The color transfers easily.
great video!!!
Have u got any hand me down bags from your mom? Or is she more into antique furniture etc more than bags Maybe? Has she got any gems? ❤️❤️❤️
Great fleur thank u x❤
