Hi Dawn! Great stories. You’re right. The rain is a luxury bag lovers worst enemy. I was caught in the rain wearing Oran sandals. I had to take them off and run to the car. I wasn’t going to ruin them with what I paid for them! The things we do to keep our luxury items safe. Haha. Your Chanel handbag is beautiful!
Hi Daniela! 🥰. I don’t blame you! I would have taken my sandals off and ran, but I can’t run! I was so happy that I put the plastic bag in my hobo, it saved me!
Oh nooo!! The LV bag is a true horror. I hate that it happened more than once! 😢 “I was feeling a little extra sassy” - sounds like something my daughter would say 😅 The color is to die for on your Chanel!
You are so funny, I laughed and laughed! Love the chain wrap. I wrap mine in dust bags when stored so the chain doesn’t damage the leather on the bag. These are better!! Thanks, Dawn!
@@dawnlovescouture2644 I will check out the wraps, I didn’t know such a thing existed! Great idea! I’m going to go back in your video and look at those again!
Oh how sad about your LV bag 😢 That would be scary it breaking when you least expect it! 😮 Thank goodness for Target and Wasa, saved your Hermes and Chanel! ☔️ What is nice about those Zoomoni handle chain covers is it also helps from the chain making indents in the leather while keeping them organized.🥰
Hi Laurie! 🥰. Wawa saved the day! It was a nightmare! The chain wraps do a great job. I don’t have to worry about marks on my bag. I was able to situate the chain so that nothing touches the leather. I am always aware of the condition of my straps now and check to see if they are secure, but you never know what can happen.
I've had a lipstick open in my bag. I got lucky the lipstick was inside it's case. That is so weird that your bag strap has broken a few times.. I love your stories. You did a great job making it dramatic. Cool chain protectores!! What a great idea.
Great video :-) Dawn bring it to your local shoemaker and see if he can fix it. If you’re not thinking of reselling it he would probably do a perfectly good job.
Hi, I live in Portugal, just saying because you mentioned you've been here and I was so happy to know. About your bag repair, I don't have any experience with repairs what-so-ever, but I follow an American youtuber who was very excited with the quality and price for reparing her items in a local store called Rago Brothers. I think this store is located in New Jersey. If you want to look up yourself, her channel is "The Blessed One". She doesn't make videos anymore but she has there her old video "Goyard and Gucci modifications done by Rago Brothers", for example, and I know she has repaired LV bags there also. Your bag is a vintage one and you can buy another bag like that for 350 dollars so I think reparing that one in the LV store is a complete waste of money in my opinion and you even can't get a guarantee it would last. Love your videos, take care
Hi! 🥰. Yes, I spent a week in Lisbon in 2008 and I loved it! I also went to Sintra for just a day, and it was amazing! I want to visit again in the future and see Porto and maybe more of the coast. Portugal is beautiful and a very friendly place to visit. ❤️. I know of Rago Bros. And they have an excellent reputation. I would go to them for a quote and see what it would cost to repair the bag before anyone else. They are about 1.5 hours from me, so I could even take the bag in person. Thanks for the reminder, I didn’t think about it until you mentioned it, they slipped my mind totally! I was even thinking at one point that I would see what it would cost to replace the vachetta with black leather. I’ve seen that done before and it looks great!
Wow what a nightmare!!!!! RAIN!!!!! I’m cracking up you went and bought rubber slides lol You’re right Chanel should be ashamed of themselves. They should put raincoats in every bag for the prices they charge. Hold uppppp did you say “Go watch Yoda”!!!??? 😮😮😮😮 all right if you do that again I’m gonna have to break up with you lol ha ha ha ha that was a fun Collab and definitely frightening to be caught out in the rain. I can’t think of anything worse.
Thank you for doing this with me!!! 🥰. You know it’s just my accent that makes you sound like someone from Star Wars! 🤣. That day was a total nightmare! Good thing I was at Target and had access to shoes! 😂
Have you tried Art Bag on Manhattan’s UES? They are amazing at bag repairs. They fixed a vintage LV bag and wallet for me. And, don’t laugh, but some local shoemakers can do a pretty good job, too.
@@dawnlovescouture2644 LV has attitude. They wouldn’t fix the zipper of my wallet because it had some minor wear on the corners. So that journey led me to Art Bag. They’re well respected.
My Chanel is a keeper! 🩵. They change the strap on both sides. You can’t just get the one that’s broken fixed. I think they reuse the hardware. They also match the patina on the rest of the bag so it doesn’t look strange if you’re not getting all of the vachetta replaced, which I appreciate. On something like the Looping bags, where the only vachetta is the handle, they will use a strap with pale vachetta. I had one repaired and it looked brand new when it was finished.

Wawa and Target to the rescue😂 loving your shirt too❤️
If all Wawas stop giving out plastic bags, it’s time to stock the trunk with some small garbage bags! 🥰

P.S. Horrifyingly frightening stories! Love love love your blue Chanel! Good idea re carrying plastic bags!!!!
@@Diane574 It saved me! 💕
Great, interesting stories Dawn!! The Chanel bag is gorgeous!!♥ Great idea to protect the chain and bag!! Thanks for sharing!!🥰🥰🥰
Thank you! 🥰. I love this bag so much! The chain protector is a great solution.
That is unacceptable. LV should stand by their product and fix your bag for free.
Hi Lux! 🥰. They will fix your bag but once they do, they will say that you are responsible afterwards.
Wow your Pearl Crush hobo bag is stunning! Wawa to the rescue!! These are nightmare stories for sure.
Thank you! 🥰. Oh, when I saw those clouds, I panicked!!! Yes Wawa came through!
You’re a terrific story teller! I have to say your horror stories beat mine!
This is my birthday weekend and I’m enjoying your video.💜
Happy Birthday, Maryann!!! 🎂🎉🥳😘. I hope you are having a fabulous weekend! Love from the boys! 😻😻
So much fun this collab🥰 Beautiful Chanel bag, protect at all costs lol🙂
Thanks Denise! 🥰. We do what we gotta do!
Oh nooo!! The LV bag is a true horror. I hate that it happened more than once! 😢
“I was feeling a little extra sassy” - sounds like something my daughter would say 😅 The color is to die for on your Chanel!
Hi Jorgelina! 🥰. Believe me, these are both nightmares! I could have told more, but people would never go to sleep! 🤣
You are so funny, I laughed and laughed! Love the chain wrap. I wrap mine in dust bags when stored so the chain doesn’t damage the leather on the bag. These are better!! Thanks, Dawn!
That’s a great idea, Diane! 🥰. My blue bag is small and this works better because it’s not as bulky. But dust bags are a great solution!
@@dawnlovescouture2644 I will check out the wraps, I didn’t know such a thing existed! Great idea! I’m going to go back in your video and look at those again!
You are such a great storyteller Dawn 😆 truly scary bag stories🦇
Thanks Mary! 🥰. We all have scary bag stories!!!

Eerie words of wisdom. 🎃
Hi Regina! 🥰. Definitely!
So spooky 👻
Yes! 🥰. It sure was!

Thanks Deleen! 🥰. You were lucky the cap stayed on! Ugh, that poor bag has been through the wringer!
So sorry about your strap breaking 2x!!! And yea, that'd scare me too!!!!!
It’s horrible! 😱 Eslecially being out and about and watching it fall!
Great video :-) Dawn bring it to your local shoemaker and see if he can fix it. If you’re not thinking of reselling it he would probably do a perfectly good job.
Thanks Lisa! 🥰. I’m going to look into a few places. I’m not using LV again, they didn’t do a good job, obviously!
almost got coach one in grey. quilted one
Beautiful! 🥰

@@dawnlovescouture2644 That was your saving grace!!! Haha Man I would run barefoot to my car before ruining Hermes sandals 😵💫😳😆🤦🏻♀️
@YotaStyle I can’t run!!! And they would have had my wet feet inside which would have really made me upset! It was bad!
@@dawnlovescouture2644 I remember you telling me about it!!!

@@accessorygirlnyc I’ll look into them. 🥰There are some other options as well. I am not taking it to LV again, clearly it won’t be fixed!

@@accessorygirlnyc I will check them out!
Do they just change the strap or the hardware too? I love your Chanel bag 🥰

That's terrible 😕!!
@@kaylheecarroll3186 It was a mess with both bags, but luckily the Chanel was saved! 💕
Yeah, I'd been so angry 😠 😡 👿!!
