You know...at first I GASPED at the newsprint saddle bag reissue but now that I've sat with that information for a bit, I'm kind of "meh" about it? I can't really explain why. All of the brands are pulling stuff out of the archives but this one isn't landing quite like other pieces. Always enjoy hearing your talk on things, Connor!
Have a titanium hip joint which doesn’t have a luxury logo but it does have a serial number. Always thought serial number would help identify my body if I was found dead in a ditch but now thinking if titanium becomes a trend it would be good for authentication purpose if I wanted to sell it on the preloved market. So glad you’ve managed to eliminate the red truck.
Sorry, as a POC---don't know if that matters or not---but this collection reminds me of slave chains, specifically the heavy iron spike slave chokers. I've taken part of a dig at the Levi Jordan Plantation in Texas, so I've seen a real one in person. I find most of the collection disturbing for this reason, especially since Tiffany has black models online for this collection. Is Pharrell being played? Did he even design this and are they're laughing behind his back?
That’s interesting - surely he has creative direction or input in this collab? A few people has messaged me saying this same thing about the collaboration being insensitive and reminding them of slave chokers. Thank you for your comment though - definitely something that’s opened my eyes
Could be completely wrong (in which case ignore me haha) but I actually think it's the fact that new Gucci is trying to be more quiet luxury that's causing the drop of sales in China. Along with the weird price thing you mentioned (just pick a lane guys), I think there's a large group of the younger Chinese money crowd that LOVES a bold print/logo/OTT moment that Gucci used to provide along with brands like LV. Since the creative change, they've lost that customer and unfortunately for them, the older money quiet luxury customer is already loyal elsewhere... Anyway just a thought, but happy Sunday night! 😊
Well that’s what I thought too! The the article says “the move and demand for quiet luxury” so who knows but I feel like what you’re saying would make more sense!
China has also been cracking down on overt/“loud” luxury and moving towards “quiet” luxury as a whole. So Gucci’s bombastic, flamboyant style (even though they are changing it) is out of style
Watching your video has started my week in the best way possible lovely Connor. OMG. I can't stop laughing and smiling. Your description of everything is just classic Connor. Perfection. Thank you for always giving me joy in my day. Much love. Jenni. XX💙
@@carrino15still not worth the price tag. I guess Pharrell has been rich so long that he has forgotten what it’s like to be working class and pitch projects aimed at that price point
At this point in time I think Gucci can do with having even a boring engineer like me as their creative director. What you said about them is exactly how I feel. Spot on !!
Nostalgia note: Jane Birkin whom the bag was named after, put bag charms and did the boho thing on her bag. There is no chest tattoo for this trend that says "do not resuscitate" . It is out and it is alive. I personally despise the Hermés rodeo charms, they are juvenile-looking and rudimentary in terms of execution. They're like something that fell off a CWA market stall at the Easter show. Also they can overwhelm the bag, if the bag is bigger it's ok but on smaller is just ridiculous. But I do use pompom charms for my keys....and I do like a heart charm....so what am I saying? I think there is a market for hand made well executed charms. So shoot me for my contradictions. Dayle is ahead of me on death row.
Tiffany Collab with LVMH...and the jewellery cost a bomb, certainly not for me too. I understand those silver jewellery does tarnish, and it is already not cheap for that range. Frankly even if i have money tree, i would not buy. Hermes, i love the pastel yellow too. Misty grey that is a bit better than a black in my opinion but yeah they can do better. Love your roasting video 🤣
I agree with you on everything. The over the top charm trend looks very "bag lady" (not PC, I know) to me. And I just can't with all the Pharrell collabs. He's NOT a good designer, he's not a designer period. It's like LVMH decided they needed a POC to fill Virgil Abloh's shoes and compete with Kanye. The difference being that, mental health issues aside, Kanye is actually creative and innovative; Pharrell, not so much.

I agree! It would drive me bonkers having a bunch of literal junk dangling from my bag.
Same 😅😅😅
Chats with Connor- should be Cooking with Connor given the trend of roasting! Can you have a chat about your least fave types of YT Vids?
Added it to the list! I already have some responses 😂😂
Chats with Connor hmmm maybe

I feel like limoncello is more you
@@THECLOSETbyConnor it’s definitely in my list. All comes down to what I can get

Honestly, the fact that Gucci isn't taking on board our two random observer Australian opinions just baffles me 😂 Help us, help you Gucci! 💕
China has also been cracking down on overt/“loud” luxury and moving towards “quiet” luxury as a whole. So Gucci’s bombastic, flamboyant style (even though they are changing it) is out of style
China's economy has shrunk since the pandemic. They're not buying luxury the way they used to, regardless of the volume level.

Aww thank you Jenni ❤❤❤❤
Conor and his hilarious 😂 descriptions 😊💙💙!
❤❤ thanks lovely
@@THECLOSETbyConnor your welcome
Love this video concept. Pls call it something typically Australian.
Hahahaha ok ok I’ll have a think!! ❤❤
You always make me laugh. ❤
Aw thank you!!! ❤
Firm pass on the Tiffany collab. Waaaaayyyyy too expensive for something that is just a trend.
Big ole cash grab!!
Its very little precious metals compared to titanium
@@carrino15still not worth the price tag. I guess Pharrell has been rich so long that he has forgotten what it’s like to be working class and pitch projects aimed at that price point

Thank you!!! You’re hired!!! 😂😂😂
Im a boring engineering student and i loved their metallic irredescent super mini marmont.
Fine jewelry and trend driven celebrity cash grabs are crazy. I mean does anyone like Pharrell THAT much?
Apparently!
Good video! I do like the yellow bag 😊
Thank you ❤❤
You and me watching Ghostbusters on VHS!
Omg yes!!! I bet you still have a VHS 😂
@@THECLOSETbyConnor I have the tapes….not the machine lol
Pretty Sure Meredith has a machine!
“The dog saved the town”….😂😂😂😂. Great video !
Ahahahaha! Thank you 🩵🩵
A craft store...hilarious! Unhinged
😂😂😂
I have to admit I’m one of the victims of charms 😭 but I do keep them minimal lol
😂😂😂😂 UNHINGED.. ok ok this is your yellow light
Hehe me too! My faves are the vintage Gucci animal charms!🤩

I adore bag charms but OTT unhinged definitely not a style I’ll emulate🤪😆
Thank god 😂😂😂
Gucci has lost its luster 😢it went from Starter/Luxury brand to down in the dumps
So sad 😢
The handbag charms by Miu miu is just tacky!
Right?!
keep the Shade coming all shit haha
😂😂😂
All those charms remind me of the Hippie's bags. Not my cup of tea at all 😂
Right?! 😂😂
When you said it an entire craft store hanging off your Birkin lol very unkept.
😂😂😂😂

im sorry but pharrell is such an eyeroll
He’s either loved or loathed!
This bag charm I’m not for me.. not cute at all.. waste of money if you ask me.. it’s like who puts bumper sticker on a Maserati.🤷🏽♀️
Hahahahaha exactly!
VHS?! You look too young.
@@heysaras nearly 30 😫
I hate the Pharrell collab
😢😢😢
