🚨 UPDATE: I’ve been wearing the Dossier Ambery Saffron for the past few days and I cannot tell the difference between this and the Baccarat Rouge 540!! Shocking 😱 in a good way! Promo codes and links provided in my description box above! ✨ Hope you enjoy the video! xx
I use this too as I wasn’t sure if I wanted to take the plunge on Baccarat. I love it! I also have a Dossier for YSL Black Opium that I love! I think I might try their version of Tom Ford Black Orchid next when my actual TF runs out. 🥰🥰 Love this whole video!
It’s nice to see content on alternatives of designer items. Dossier has been my go to for awhile now. I love Baccarat Rouge 40 and only get it on sale or samples. It’s definitely a high price point. Glad more people are exploring Dossier. Thanks for sharing.
Please tell me you’re not representing dupes. I understand they can be wicked great but you’re being a hypocrite. I guess you will never buy anymore luxury authentic items because the dupes are good as well.
Excellent video & useful info. Would love to see more like this. I enjoy luxury channels, but watching someone unbox their 50th Birkin gets a bit tedious. I love my Mini Pochette - thanks for the Coach tip. I'm going to get it in black if it's still available!
I have been watching your videos for a long time! Even more so since I was diagnosed with breast cancer stage 3 in February……… ever since then I have been really sick bcos if all the chemo treatments I was getting, I can hardly get out of bed, so I had to kiss good bye to my favorite pass time shopping. Also bring dice and feeling sick seemed to cure me my impossible shopaholic addiction, I no longer have the urge and desire to want things……. I have been really admiring your ability to self control and in buying choices and purge things that are no longer needed! I have tried but I can not……. Getting to the main point, I have watched you talking about this perfume so many times! Am really intrigued, as I hear so many good reviews! I love perfumes and have a considerable collection. But at the same time I am also allergic to lots of flowers, so choosing the right one can be hard. Since I started chemo I felt it affected my ability to smell and my taste buds too…… so last weekend was the first time since February I felt a little better, we as a family went to Amsterdam had a shopping/ eating day……. I went specially to tried the perfume for the first time. It really was not how I imagined at all! I guess you can smell the sweetness of lychee? That’s the part I really liked.And the rest….. I can not describe…….. but please don’t hate me for saying this, the first smell really reminds me of hospital smell…… it’s the hospital disinfectant and medication smell…… I have to say this part I can not stand…… I am now seriously questioning my sense of smell…… as everyone else seems to love it so much! I really want to love it too…….. really wanting to purchase something for the day, so I ended up buying Le Labo Neoile 31. My 11 years old and 10years old daughters picked for me. Just watched your LV kiragami pouches unboxing. Congratulations on your new purchase! But word of advice the smallest pouch Becareful when you put coins inside, because it will slip out from the gaps…… Have a fabulous day Greetings from Holland xxx
Thank you for your comment dear. I’m so sorry for what you’re going through - sending strength, prayer and positive vibes your way. Your daughters are sweet to go shopping with you. There are plenty of people who don’t like the scent of this perfume - seems like either people love it or hate it. Perhaps it’s not the scent for you and that’s okay! 😉 Thanks also for the caution on the Kirigami small pouch! I’ll use it mostly for cards and cash. Hope my channel brings some light happiness and distraction on your hard days. ❤️
Great video! I purchased a Coach Cassie to ‘try out’ the style when I didn’t understand what the Pochette Métis hype was all about. I quickly learned how functional the bag was. I’ve been so content with the Cassie that I haven’t purchased the PM. I may add one at some point but have been quite happy with the Cassie. 😃
Great video. Useful advice to shop around. Sometimes we get sucked into the 'designer' look when other companies do really good and attractive alternatives. I live in UK and always looking for similar products. Thank you for your great videos. 👍x
I absolutely loved this video.. please please please make others..I ordered the Coach alternative to the mini pochette and pochette accessories, thanks again.. very informative
Your videos are fantastic. Great information from a very smart and sensible person. I tried Baccarat Rouge 540 at your suggestion and just fell in love with it! So thank you for that!! I ordered the Dossier version and found the scents match at first but the Dossier left an unpleasant after-smell, so it’s going back. Unfortunately they don’t refund initial shipping unless you buy three items. Just something to share. I do appreciate your reviews. Thank you!
This was a wonderful video. I love luxury brands but I tend to stick to contemporary designers. I hope you’ll do more in the future!! If anyone is looking for a alternative to the Gucci Soho Disco, I would suggest the Gigi New York Madison. It’s very similar and is a wonderful bag. It’s held up very well for daily use and vacations.
@@hellocatwalkcity Great video, loved all the comparisons! I actually ended up purchasing two wallets, the Nolita 19 in Cherry, and another wristlet because of this video 😂🤦🏻♀️ I can’t believe I’ve actually never heard of the Cassie before, is the one you have still available? I have the LV pochette Metis, but also wanted similar in black, sent you a DM on Insta😁
I am so grateful for the 'dupe' to Fendi peekaboo!! I found out through your channel about coach Cassie (and I have one now), and Fendi peekaboo was my obsession for a while but out of reach, and now I know I can save up for Tory Burch one, that's significantly more realistic!!
I have the reverse pochette matis and the coach cassie 19 (that came with top handle, chain, and crossbody) and those two are my most used bags. Coach leather is beautiful.
I bought the Steve Madden Haydn shoe for the oran Hermès slide I also have the coach Nolita 15 and changed the chain on it and it’s a perfect dupe for the LV. I did splurge for the LV mini pochette in the vernis amarante as my final LV purchase from this boutique. I’m done with high end stores for a while.
When buying Gucci loafers, always buy the MENS option. Firstly, because they are a little bit wider, and second, because on the bottom, there is a silver plate screwed into the sole stamped "GUCCI," which looks really cool 😎 when you put your feet up on your desk.
Love these luxury for less videos! Thank you for the Dossier reference, I'd never heard of them and I'm looking forward to ordering! Can I recommend that you check out Polene and Luisa Spagnoli? Gorgeous high end luxury without the big-name prices (not inexpensive, but a midpoint between quality high street and YSL/Gucci/Vuitton etc. prices). LS has a great heritage history with its founder (it's not just Coco Chanel!)
I love Coach as a. more affordable luxury brand. I have several of their bags and have always been happy with the quality! Thank you for all the information. Love your channel 🖤
I've been following your channel passively (totally based on the RUclips algo) and tbh the alternatives haven't been speaking to me. Coach is a wonderful brand in itself and I would hate to compare it to LV but I think the brand frees itself to explore other directions. For example the last Coach purchases I've made I've considered "art pieces” like a gold leather Rexy keychain and the leather tea rose applique Dinky. I think it's the innovation in the brand that's worth exploring and no point in considering it as in alternative to higher-priced luxury brands.
I agree Coach is a great brand as a stand-alone without having to be compared against luxury brands. You’re preaching to the choir. I’ve been a Coach fan since high school and that’s over two decades ago! 😂 But this video was for those who are looking for high quality alternatives to the high end designer items so that was the perspective I was sharing. Thanks for watching!
Wonderful alternatives and research! Tickled with the shoutout!! ❤️ Also, I can’t believe Coach discontinued both the Cassie and Rambler lines! The one you have there is gorgeous! I’m sure a lucky subbie will make a great home for it.
Happy Thursday! Love the black loafers. I was never a fan of Coach until I got my first Coach bag a couple years ago " Cassie 19" love that bag so much, yours is bigger but pretty much same bag. What a great alternative for the Hermes belt, also a great European brand. Thank you Hannah for this awesome video, as always your videos are always not just fun to watch but so informative.
The dossier is an interesting choice! I'm a big fan of Baccarat Rouge 540. Lately, I discovered that Burberry Her also gives me the same vibe as Rouge 540.
It's so funny you should mention that because I really loved a Burberry fragrance well over a decade ago (might have been Her) and the minute I smelled Baccarat 540 it brought my senses straight back to that Burberry!
Thanks for great tips! I just ordered the Mulberry Darley belt - its 10cm adjustable. I have bags from Hermes, Chanel etc and I love Mulberry - they have great quality. This belt will match my oak zipped Bayswater!🥰
I'm sure this will help out alot of ladies and gents that might not have the funds to splurge on luxury items. But one thing I've learned, you're not going to be happy settling for less or something that's similar to the item you want. You're going to long for that bag or pouch you fell in love with and won't be content until you own it. You'll keep spending to try and fill that gap but you're not going to be satisfied. I say instead of spending that $50.00 on something you don't truly want, put that money aside for what your heart desires even if it takes years to save the amount you need. You'll not only be much happier in the end but you'll feel proud of yourself that you were able to be patient and save the amount you needed.
I agree. I don’t believe in settling for less than what we want. Better to wait until we can get what we have our hearts set on. However, some people are just not interested in the high-end designer brands either because they’re sick and tired of them, or they don’t feel it’s worth the money. So by choosing alternatives, it becomes about spending wisely on what we feel is worth it - versus splurging on something we don’t see the value in. Just wanting to give options!
I’m awaiting my Ambery Saffron in the mail since I’ve been on the fence on the Baccarat Rouge! Can’t wait to try it 💞 These alternatives definitely are just as functional as the luxury brand!
You would use those loafers for different visits, events, trips…. Because one is more expensive than the other? I love watching your vlogs and hearing opinions but I still have to ask questions why you pick one over the other
Really enjoyed the video. I have been looking at the Mulberry bags but trying not to purchase one. I absolutely love the Lee Radziwill bag in a larger size. Thank you for sharing your knowledge on alternative luxury. Look forward to more.❤️
I’ve been eyeing the Mulberry bags too! The only thing is, I hear some are quite heavy. Best to check them out in person!! Same with the Lee Radziwill bags. The larger sizes are quite heavy! That’s why I recommended the petite size here. 😊
@@hellocatwalkcity it's not easy but I can't keep collecting bags , apparently I'm a collector or things that bring me joy. Like coats, shoes, fragrance, wigs, lipgloss, designer scarves and hats 😆
Great alternatives! New subscriber. I came across your chanel when I was looking for reviews on the Iseeu peekaboo and found your excellent review. Very thorough ❤️. Sorry it did not work out. Mulberry’s leather is great from what I’ve seen in person and the small darley quilted is an excellent alternative to Chanel’s woc. Mulberry has also added a leather portion on the strap which looks like it will make the chain strap more comfortable. Thanks for sharing and for the recommendations.
That cassie looks soooooo beautiful and I'm so tempted because it's the color I really want but I already own 3 (in different colors)... I need to control myself LOL. I'm also glad you mentioned those perfume alternatives. I've been wanting to give Baccarat Rouge 540 a try but the price tag really held me back. Thank you for sharing these awesome alternatives!
This video was very informative. I like your perspective on luxury spending. I am a bit late buying luxury handbags, and I’ve been fixated on buying a bag but want to spend my money wisely. Anyway, I picked up the Sam Edelman loafers. I wondered your thoughts on the Teddy Blake Eva (Kelly )dupe and Miirta ( Sara) made by Pelletten Viriani, an Italian maker; this bag is also a Kelly dupe. I would greatly appreciate your opinion. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
Zara Red Temptation is the best BR 540 dupe out there. Last just as long and the scene is identical. I don't know how they've done it but they did it for a modest $20... Makes you wonder why the 540 is so expensive. Perhaps marketing. Zara does a lot of excellent dupes for a fraction of the cost.
I recently discovered your channel and had been binging on your videos 😊. This video is very informative. I have been wanting to get the Gucci loafers but not sure if it will look good on me and this Sam Edelman alternative will be a good one for me to check out . Thank you for sharing this with us.
The best dupe for Gucci loafers that are even better in quality and comfort are Paul Green Daphne Apron Toe Loafer. They are not as cheap but frequently go on sales on Bloomingdale’s site.
I’ve also got my eye on the larger size of the RADZIWILL bag…too many colors to choose from and also, since I will never buy or even waitlist the Hermes Kelly bag there is an alternative to that bag that is gorgeous and just as nice, it’s the teddy Blake Ava 14”. I’ve got my eye on that as well. I like these because they one are less expensive but two they are not hooked in with the names of higher cost brands. They have their own appeal to me.
For the larger Lee Radziwill bags, just be mindful as they get quite heavy. There is so much leather (which is beautiful) but it makes it quite heavy. Just a note.
I like Rioni bags. Canvas is similar to LV, but I think it looks better. The vachetta is treated and some appear to be allergic (not me, though). The prices are pretty good. Most bags are inspired by other brands, but usually with some changes. The Pochette inspired has an extra piece of canvas on the back that fits slim phones. I would say their 55" duffel is better than LV. I think the factory store has been closed quite a bit the last two years, so availability isn't always good.
Amazingly helpful and informative video! I did buy the travel sized Baccarat 540 and I do love it. I noticed that it lasts for a long time, in fact if I don't shower at night it's still very present the following day. One mark of a lousy perfume imo is one that disappears after a couple of hours. It's also very saturated -- one spray is really all I need. These little vials will last forever lol 😀
100%!! I agree completely! And by the way, I was shocked to find that the Dossier version lasts just as long. One spritz on my wrist lasts all day. Quality doesn’t always have to be expensive.
Ok I know I’m late to this video, but I have been looking for the coach Cassie to test drive before going in on the LouisV! If you still have it available I would love to take it off your hands! Thanks for sharing all of your awesome quality alternatives!!! 😃~
Hello I love your channel! This is off topic but I wanted to ask do you have an engagement ring & 2 wedding bands? I love the look & have been meaning to ask for some time :) thank you
Because my weight has fluctuated over the years, I now have 3 reversible Hermes belts (along with several buckles) and all of them are now too big. So, it makes perfect sense to consider an adjustable belt, providing it doesn't add too much bulk. What size (width) is your Kelly belt?
I love Sam Edelman. They really are the best, but their loafers and pump heels are too narrow for someone that have high arch or wide feet. I owned bought LV Pochette Metis and Coach Casey and both I don’t use as much lol. I love them so I am keeping them lol. Awesome video TFS!
I used to love coach, but a very snarky SA ruined the in store experience, and I live on an island and its the only store, I moved on to Tory Burch. Currently using the Cassie this week
Loved this video so much.Thanks for all your hard work The perfume sounds so nice and love coach and Rebecca minkoff have gorgeous high quality bags, always so stylish.All the best wishes x
I hate all the designer bags featured in this video lol. So none of the alternatives work for me lol. Cant wait for your next vid! Time to put our money to work babeh!
I would bet that the coach Cassie weighs a similar amount to the pochette Metis because the lining of the PM is microfiber which weighs more than the cloth interior of the Cassie... I can't test it though because while I have the Cassie, my p.m. is empreinte
That Dossier perfume is sadly not available anymore...I can also recommend VS Midnight Bloom that smells also so similar to BR540! Let me know what you think? Do you have a good "dupe" for Hermes H sandals?
🚨 UPDATE: I’ve been wearing the Dossier Ambery Saffron for the past few days and I cannot tell the difference between this and the Baccarat Rouge 540!! Shocking 😱 in a good way! Promo codes and links provided in my description box above! ✨ Hope you enjoy the video! xx
I’m def going to get it and layer it with other fragrance to see what morphs out of it.
Thank you I will be trying it 🥰
I use this too as I wasn’t sure if I wanted to take the plunge on Baccarat. I love it! I also have a Dossier for YSL Black Opium that I love! I think I might try their version of Tom Ford Black Orchid next when my actual TF runs out. 🥰🥰 Love this whole video!

Please tell me you’re not representing dupes. I understand they can be wicked great but you’re being a hypocrite. I guess you will never buy anymore luxury authentic items because the dupes are good as well.
Also, another note is that the Coach Cassie actually came out before LV's Pochette Metis!!
please do an entire series on alternatives i loved it
I’ll be doing a series of videos like this so please stay tuned!
Excellent video & useful info. Would love to see more like this. I enjoy luxury channels, but watching someone unbox their 50th Birkin gets a bit tedious. I love my Mini Pochette - thanks for the Coach tip. I'm going to get it in black if it's still available!
Do you also use these bags? I always choose @ BAGXGO.COM when it comes to rep bag
I always love hearing your recommendations! You are so thorough in your reviews. Your hard work and research is hands down the best!
Thank you - that means a lot!
I have been watching your videos for a long time! Even more so since I was diagnosed with breast cancer stage 3 in February……… ever since then I have been really sick bcos if all the chemo treatments I was getting, I can hardly get out of bed, so I had to kiss good bye to my favorite pass time shopping. Also bring dice and feeling sick seemed to cure me my impossible shopaholic addiction, I no longer have the urge and desire to want things……. I have been really admiring your ability to self control and in buying choices and purge things that are no longer needed! I have tried but I can not…….

But at the same time I am also allergic to lots of flowers, so choosing the right one can be hard.

I really want to love it too…….. really wanting to purchase something for the day, so I ended up buying Le Labo Neoile 31. My 11 years old and 10years old daughters picked for me.
Just watched your LV kiragami pouches unboxing. Congratulations on your new purchase! But word of advice the smallest pouch Becareful when you put coins inside, because it will slip out from the gaps……
Have a fabulous day

I'm sure this will help out alot of ladies and gents that might not have the funds to splurge on luxury items. But one thing I've learned, you're not going to be happy settling for less or something that's similar to the item you want. You're going to long for that bag or pouch you fell in love with and won't be content until you own it. You'll keep spending to try and fill that gap but you're not going to be satisfied. I say instead of spending that $50.00 on something you don't truly want, put that money aside for what your heart desires even if it takes years to save the amount you need. You'll not only be much happier in the end but you'll feel proud of yourself that you were able to be patient and save the amount you needed.
I agree. I don’t believe in settling for less than what we want. Better to wait until we can get what we have our hearts set on. However, some people are just not interested in the high-end designer brands either because they’re sick and tired of them, or they don’t feel it’s worth the money. So by choosing alternatives, it becomes about spending wisely on what we feel is worth it - versus splurging on something we don’t see the value in. Just wanting to give options!

I just saw this video but do you still have that Coach Cassie available?
It sold a long while ago!
The Coach Haley loafer is also a great alternative to the Gucci loafer.
May I have the link for DUYP pouches?
Dossier is interesting, but as a MFK 540 fan, the Dossier dupe isn't close. It would be nice to find a less-expensive alternative, but I haven't yet.
You would use those loafers for different visits, events, trips…. Because one is more expensive than the other?

Lovely video. Do Coach make the Cassie in smooth black leather?
I haven’t seen any Cassies in smooth leather.
Great alternatives! New subscriber. I came across your chanel when I was looking for reviews on the Iseeu peekaboo and found your excellent review. Very thorough ❤️. Sorry it did not work out. Mulberry’s leather is great from what I’ve seen in person and the small darley quilted is an excellent alternative to Chanel’s woc. Mulberry has also added a leather portion on the strap which looks like it will make the chain strap more comfortable. Thanks for sharing and for the recommendations.
Thank you for subscribing!! I’m definitely growing more interested in Mulberry as I keep hearing such great things! Hope to explore more this year!
The Rebecca minkoff backpacks are so cool looking and very well made. I have 2 of the leather ones & love them
That cassie looks soooooo beautiful and I'm so tempted because it's the color I really want but I already own 3 (in different colors)... I need to control myself LOL. I'm also glad you mentioned those perfume alternatives. I've been wanting to give Baccarat Rouge 540 a try but the price tag really held me back. Thank you for sharing these awesome alternatives!
I’ve really been enjoying the Dossier version of Baccarat Rouge! Love that it comes from a perfumery in France too! Thanks for watching!
Did you sell the Rebecca minkoff and coach cassie?
Yes both have sold, thank you.
This video was very informative. I like your perspective on luxury spending. I am a bit late buying luxury handbags, and I’ve been fixated on buying a bag but want to spend my money wisely. Anyway, I picked up the Sam Edelman loafers. I wondered your thoughts on the Teddy Blake Eva (Kelly )dupe and Miirta ( Sara) made by Pelletten Viriani, an Italian maker; this bag is also a Kelly dupe. I would greatly appreciate your opinion. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
That ysl is my scent !!! My fave
Zara Red Temptation is the best BR 540 dupe out there. Last just as long and the scene is identical. I don't know how they've done it but they did it for a modest $20... Makes you wonder why the 540 is so expensive. Perhaps marketing. Zara does a lot of excellent dupes for a fraction of the cost.
Difference in scents is synthetic ingredients versus use of real flowers, oils, etc
They use bad ingredients
I recently discovered your channel and had been binging on your videos 😊. This video is very informative. I have been wanting to get the Gucci loafers but not sure if it will look good on me and this Sam Edelman alternative will be a good one for me to check out . Thank you for sharing this with us.
Yes, the Sam Edelman loafers are a great way to see if you even like the look!
The best dupe for Gucci loafers that are even better in quality and comfort are Paul Green Daphne Apron Toe Loafer. They are not as cheap but frequently go on sales on Bloomingdale’s site.
This was very helpful ☺️ Thank you ❤️
I’m so happy to hear that.
Honestly I could listen to you everyday if you do Podcast one day! Enjoyed your video as always👍🏼
Thank you so much!
Hi Hannah! Great video ! Thx so much for contents like these. xo
Have you sold the black Coach Cassie yet?
Yes it sold very soon after this video went live
Very nice video, coach pochette is really nice alternative for the LV pochette accessories. Thanks for sharing this video
I love the black.
If the Coach Cassie is still available, how much are you asking for it?
Would you do international shipping?
I’ve also got my eye on the larger size of the RADZIWILL bag…too many colors to choose from and also, since I will never buy or even waitlist the Hermes Kelly bag there is an alternative to that bag that is gorgeous and just as nice, it’s the teddy Blake Ava 14”. I’ve got my eye on that as well. I like these because they one are less expensive but two they are not hooked in with the names of higher cost brands. They have their own appeal to me.
For the larger Lee Radziwill bags, just be mindful as they get quite heavy. There is so much leather (which is beautiful) but it makes it quite heavy. Just a note.
@@hellocatwalkcity I believe it just by looking at the bag with all its layers of leather!! Lol
I like Rioni bags. Canvas is similar to LV, but I think it looks better. The vachetta is treated and some appear to be allergic (not me, though). The prices are pretty good. Most bags are inspired by other brands, but usually with some changes. The Pochette inspired has an extra piece of canvas on the back that fits slim phones. I would say their 55" duffel is better than LV. I think the factory store has been closed quite a bit the last two years, so availability isn't always good.
Amazingly helpful and informative video! I did buy the travel sized Baccarat 540 and I do love it. I noticed that it lasts for a long time, in fact if I don't shower at night it's still very present the following day. One mark of a lousy perfume imo is one that disappears after a couple of hours. It's also very saturated -- one spray is really all I need. These little vials will last forever lol 😀
100%!! I agree completely! And by the way, I was shocked to find that the Dossier version lasts just as long. One spritz on my wrist lasts all day. Quality doesn’t always have to be expensive.
How much are selling the coach bag?
Ok I know I’m late to this video, but I have been looking for the coach Cassie to test drive before going in on the LouisV! If you still have it available I would love to take it off your hands! Thanks for sharing all of your awesome quality alternatives!!! 😃~
Aw the Coach Cassie was sold soon after this video went live.
Hello I love your channel! This is off topic but I wanted to ask do you have an engagement ring & 2 wedding bands? I love the look & have been meaning to ask for some time :) thank you
Aw hi!! I have an engagement ring and wedding band, plus a 15 year anniversary band. I stack them all. ❤️
Because my weight has fluctuated over the years, I now have 3 reversible Hermes belts (along with several buckles) and all of them are now too big. So, it makes perfect sense to consider an adjustable belt, providing it doesn't add too much bulk. What size (width) is your Kelly belt?
According to the Hermès website, the width is 0.71” 😉
I love these kind of videos. Another great alternative/comparison, Hermes Evelyn and Coach Emery. Both have an almost identical silhouette.
Are you still selling your Love too bag?
Thanks for sharing...get alternatives...
I love Sam Edelman. They really are the best, but their loafers and pump heels are too narrow for someone that have high arch or wide feet. I owned bought LV Pochette Metis and Coach Casey and both I don’t use as much lol. I love them so I am keeping them lol. Awesome video TFS!
The cassie is the most amazing alternative to the LV PM ..
I bought 2 the leather is fabulous...I'd still love the LV but the $$$ are just ridiculous
I used to love coach, but a very snarky SA ruined the in store experience, and I live on an island and its the only store, I moved on to Tory Burch. Currently using the Cassie this week
Loved this video so much.Thanks for all your hard work The perfume sounds so nice and love coach and Rebecca minkoff have gorgeous high quality bags, always so stylish.All the best wishes x
Thank you!! I enjoy researching and sharing with all of you!
Is your Coach Cassie still available?
No dear. It sold very soon after this video went live.
Hi- How much are you selling the Cassie for?
It sold already! 😅
Great video! I wish Dossier shipped internationally.
Hi do you still have the coach?
I hate all the designer bags featured in this video lol. So none of the alternatives work for me lol. Cant wait for your next vid! Time to put our money to work babeh!
Haha okay!
Thx for the promote code- I just place my order.
I have the Cassie, I love it, and I have the LV dupe, I use the Cassie more.
Really usefull video, the tory burch bag is a Great tip! Thanks!
I would bet that the coach Cassie weighs a similar amount to the pochette Metis because the lining of the PM is microfiber which weighs more than the cloth interior of the Cassie... I can't test it though because while I have the Cassie, my p.m. is empreinte
How much is it??
Id love to purchase the cassie if you decide to sell, ive been looking for one 🤗
It sold the day the video went live. 😅
@@hellocatwalkcity ahh Im a little too late🤗
That Dossier perfume is sadly not available anymore...I can also recommend VS Midnight Bloom that smells also so similar to BR540! Let me know what you think? Do you have a good "dupe" for Hermes H sandals?
I see the Dossier perfume is still available!
Thank u so much for this vid🥰💖💖
I would like to purchase the Black Cassie Coach LV look alike?? I’m a serious inquiring!!
I’m sorry, someone else bought it already.
Hi. I am interested in purchasing the Cassie 🙋🏻♀️. Love your videos btw!
