EXPENSIVE LUXURY SLGs ARE STOPPING YOU FROM GETTING WHAT YOU REALLY WANT

- How to get the most out of your luxury budget and save on SLGs - you can very often buy BETTER items for the price you’ll pay for a Chanel card holder or wallet. Wallets and card holders wear super fast, simply as we are using and handling them more than other items in our handbag. So instead, save on the wallet and upgrade to something better!

Hey friends, happy mid-week to you all!!
Erm, minor I guess but just wanted to say that “yes” I’m aware I have mascara down my face (I didn’t realise it at the time lol!) The worst mascara ever, I’ve only had it a week and it’s a mess to wear! Anyway, enjoy watching xx
I thought you did the mascara thing on purpose since it was symmetrical on both eyes :)
Sadly not Meray! It’s the Huda Beauty mascara and it’s terrible! It flakes and smudges all over the place!!xx
Nobody is perfectly put together all the time.😉Idk why some subscribers jump if someone has something going on like running mascare or a bra strap kind of showing. Like who you are these perfect people pointing things out 🙄😂.
I thought you were just trying to look like mod 60s Twiggy (okay, I'm showing my age here). I rather liked it! ♥
Thanks for the mascara "warning". Since March, I have actually gone back to a couple of drugstore brands. At first it was out of necessity, but now I actually like them better. Also, I don't mind tossing them more often.
Sophie is like the price-is-right.
"You could have a wallet or this bag!"
Thank you for the tips.
So true! HAHAHAHAHA! I know I need to step away from RUclips when I'm sounding more like 'Bargain Hunt' and less Price is Right lol xxx
A lipstick case seems even sillier now that we are wearing masks that hide our lovely red lips
Very true!xx
I can’t remember the last time I wore lipstick 😕
I was at my sister in laws wedding this past weekend and was so excited to do a full face, including lipstick, as I was to be in the family pictures.
I wear long lasting lipstick from maybelline. last all day and I can wear it underneath a mask
They always seemed silly to me!
Basically SLGs are for people who have “eff you” money and don’t care about cost vs value.
Haha, yes I can see that now lol! Thanks for watching my friend!xx
I feel like people who buy SLGs are people who reallllly just want a luxury item but cant justify a whole bag, so they get an SLG. Then later realize a bag was a better idea.
Sarah Chaudhari Yes, Or like Sophie has said before, they can’t wait to save more and really want to purchase SOMETHING so they purchase the cheapest thing the brand produces. But some items are so similarly priced that a potential buyer might as well wait.
Hmm.. I bought two slgs last year b/c of the series for elements that Dior came out with. I practice astrology and so Dior is kinda an obsession for me. But by no means was it fu money. 🌞
The Cosmic Soup By FU money, I meant people who are so rich that they can buy without caring about the cost; Two thousand dollars or pounds is like five bucks for the average person.
With expensive wallets and card holders I’d only get black because they won’t show as much dirt. I got one of those ysl card holder with zipper what, 3 years ago now? Still looks brand new. I don’t even want to get something else because it holds up so well and is so convenient.
so true I have an YSL cardholder and it still looks new I think it is about 5+ years now. Great quality.
People who are buying those slg like lipstick holder, have already so much money that they don’t care how they spend it. A normal person saving to buy a designer bag will never do that mistake for sure
Personally, I love my Chanel cardholder. It’s caviar and black- so it shows no wear despite me not being very careful. I was considering selling it for extra money during these times and was getting quoted above retail for it.
I agree about other SLGs, especially phone cases. I’m always amazed at people thinking they’re a good deal!
I really want a Chanel cardholder. I can't afford a classic quilted bag so the cardholder is more affordable for me and I get something from Chanel. And it's useful.
I was staring at your necklace the whole time, it's so stunning! Can't believe you made it, you have such an eye for style.
She looks good in rose colors
In terms of SLGs, I only have 1 card case from Tory Burch, 1 compact wallet from LV, and 1 clutch from YSL. That's it. I save the money to buy a proper luxury bag. The money you spend on 3 SLGs can be spent on 1 bag. My friends always ask me how I afford luxury bags - that's the reason!!
Lesson of the day: Chanel is stupid expensive lol
I totally agree! That’s why I don’t even fool with them! I have only 3 wallets, 1 cardholder, 2 makeup pouches, and 1 keychain. That’s it! Not buying anymore! They’re overly expensive and that money can go towards a purse.
Yes I'm with you there! Whilst I agree that it is beautiful to peer into your handbag and have lots of cute SLGs all organised, I just find they get wrecked so quick!xx
“I’ve got cardholders fit for the dustbin” 😂 thanks for a new video Sophie! Such a great topic to carefully comparing the value for your money across a spectrum of luxury goods. Pricing is so nonsensical across the board! Loved this topic!
So easy to fall into the "little treat" of an SLG instead of saving for the full handbag. By the way Sophie, love your necklace! I love that you have the beautiful high end pieces, but that you still make your own pieces too 🤩
I don't look to sell my stuff; I love when the SLG matches the bag and I don't mind if my belongings look worn or faded.
Id love for your take on "the worst of" or tacky things designer brands have released this year. I think you did a similar video last year. x
One of the things I love about the LV Neverful is that it does serve several purposes. Now that it comes with the pouch as well it’s very functional.
I’ve used my Neverful for an overnight away and in the evening just taken the pouch out and used it as a wristlet with cards, cash, phone, etc.
Also I can run to the stores and not have to take the whole bag. It’s nice and light and as it has the strap it’s a perfect sized wristlet. You can
also attach it to the inside of your bag. A little off topic but I love it for it’s multi function purpose and still not at a bad price.
I love my Chanel wallet and card holder. I use them every day so they are definitely worth the price I paid for them. I won’t buy anymore because I feel like these are going to last me a long time. Now I’m saving for my matching classic flap.
Honestly, I have had a Coach card holder for over a year and it still looks incredible. And I got it on sale for $25!
Hear! Hear!
I own a leather Nudie Jeans card holder, similar price, been using it for 8 years probably and it only looks beter as it ages.
Coach has amazing quality and free life time leather treatment, so definitely worth the money!
I’m totally agree with you! I stopped buying SLGs unless it’s very special! They don’t last, or you end up never use them. That’s really waste of money! I thought I have like 15 or sth, but turned out I have 27 SLGs, that’s crazy! 🤦🏼♀️ I could use the money to buy a bags ! I sold a lot of colour ones, kept mostly black! It’s more useful! Thanks for the video
PS: I remember when I was purchasing my last card holder from Chanel, a older lady came to me said YSL card holder have more reasonable price, I didn’t care back then! Now I think she is totally right! 😳
Really great points. Thanks for your comments, aokiQ.
Yay I get so excited when I see the notification come up that you posted a new video love you Sophie! Hope you and David are doing well 💕
That necklace is magnificent! I immediately scrolled to your description box to find where it's from only to realize you made it. WOW you have such a talent for this
Great video Sophie! I love makeup pouches, great for travelling with skincare as well as organizing larger bags and suitcases
My first designer item was the Louis Vuitton key pouch that I use everyday as a wallet with my cards and house key (& it was 'only' €140) and I don't need any more SLGs (besides a makeup pouch maybe) so I'm saving for a bag now 😊
Love the Dior pouch on a belt. Hadn’t seen it until now, but it will be mine for sure. ❤️
I bought it last week, it’s lovely!
It's beautiful 😍
Always a pleasure to watch a new video from you! Some of these SLGs (and even costume jewellery!) eat quite a large chunk out of a potential handbag budget (sometimes like a third of a bag). There have been some that have been worth it (i.e. a key holder that prevents keys from damaging the inside of my bag). I think buying one cardholder and key holder is enough - YSL has a key holder with a zipper for coins and a slot for cards - which is genius! There is no need to buy multiples and collect them, lol. AND WHAAAAT - a Chanel LIPSTICK HOLDER??? LOL
I just picked up a Chanel trendy cc in a rather loud colour (emerald green for Prefall 2020). I'm curious to know your experience with the wear and tear on your beige one.
Sophie, I think your channel is the most helpful of all! I’ve just ordered the little Prada bucket bag you showed us and I’m so excited! Such a bargain and I think you are right, it’s going to be a great grab bag that I can clean after using it x thanks for your vids! Xx
I love these kinds of videos! X
Hi, very true I have been using my Le Pliage make up case to run to the shops. It has a good carry handle and is a perfect size x
Sophie, you’re one the few who look better over the years. I love your hair and make up!
I am literally getting distracted by the insanely beautiful necklace OMG! Reminds me so much of Beauty and the Beast and you're Belle
Yes, so pretty! I was hoping she'd say where it was from.
Ahhhh, you are both so sweet! I made it! xx
Indeed, she's beautiful inside and out.
@@SophieShohetOfficial please show us how you do it ❤ maybe in a vlog?
Thank you Sophie for giving us a different perspective on purchasing luxury goods! It’s apparent that you put a lot of thought into what you purchase from high end brands. I enjoyed your video, as always😀
Loved all the price comparisons and side by side matching of the different products. That LV trio seems like a good buy!
Great video Sophie! This is very helpful and makes lots of sense. Thank you!
Thank you Sophie, that was very helpful information.
I bought a grey leather cardholder from a Gucci outlet, and it’d literally one of my best luxury purchases. I have been using it for 2 years now, and it doesn’t have any spots, scratches or discoulouring!
Omg Sophie you are soooo right!!!! I love how classy you are. I just bought the Chanel Trendy CC and I LOVE IT.
This is a great video! You bring up some excellent points and I think I am going to rethink my next purchase.😘💕
Thanks for your new video Sophie! And a great topic. /Marie from Sweden
Love this video! I have wasted money on small luxury wallets and makeup bags in the past, not anymore! Now I get the best for my money and I don’t even use the wallets I do have. I use a cheaper Victoria secret wallet inside my luxury bags and I also use a Victoria secret makeup bag! I now have started investing in property w the extra money. Yes we love luxury! But I want the best for my money now.
Couldn’t agree more, I’ve never really been interested in SLG’s much, I’ll worry about them after I’ve collected all of the types/styles of bags on my “definitely” list. I have 1 medium size wallet, 1 small wallet (pink Bvlgari serpenti just like yours) & 1 small makeup pouch. I’m sure I can more than just make do with those while I’m saving for a few more bags.
Having said that, SLG’s can be a good way to test out a particular leather you may not be completely sure about before investing in a very expensive bag. There are a few pairs of shoes I’m grateful for purchasing in patent leather for instance, because now I know that it’s definitely not for me in any way & will never purchase anything in patent leather from any brand ever again. Using an SLG could have also taught me the same lesson.
Edit* I can also see the value in SLG’s if you absolutely fall in love with a particular seasonal collection & want something from it without buying a whole bag that you might not get much use out of.
I totally agree! Also we have to search for durable materials. For instance I avoid vernis leather or light colors because they wear faster. I rather buy coated canvas or dark color leather slgs so I know they would last longer. Thanks for all your advices😊☺️ stay safe!
Another problem with vernis leather in luxury is that they use low quality leather as it'll be " color-dyed " and then covered with a vernis layer to get this " shiny- plastic-y " effect and .... insanely overprice an item in the end .
Gosh Sophie, I just love you. (as much as a 30 yr old weirdo obsessed with YT luxury videos can love a total stranger). Thank you for always speaking such great points!! I have maybe 5 SLGs, but they are DAILY USE items, and I never need more than one of each because they are a huge waste of $$$, but for their uses, I love them.
As soon as I saw your necklace I scrolled the description to find where it's from. It's beautiful!!
Your necklace looks great! First thing I noticed when the video started. So cool that you made that!
Hi Sophie, I love this video 🥰🥰 It is so informative and helpful. Thanks Sophie 😊😘
Love love your videos. So informative and helpful! Thanks you!
I just read what you said about your mascara. I was going to write and tell you how lovely you look! LOL!
This is actually a very useful informative price comparison for individuals who are thinking of buying their first piece of luxury. On what is practical use for every dollar spent vs what is assumed as entry level but not practical for use. Thumbs up!
Well said! Couldn’t agree more!! I have a Coach leather card holder and the quality is superb, I’ve owned it for years yet the condition is remarkable. One certainly doesn’t need that much slg and make informed choices with money spending. Never understand why some youtubers own so many slg🤷🏻♀️
Totally agree with you Sophie! I love Chanel but the prices these days 🤦🏻♀️ I purchased the Dior pouch you showed with the images of the oblique Saddle bag and have used it so much during this time! Similar to your Gucci pouch I either use it inside a big bag or more frequently as a catch all errand bag for going to the shop! 🤍
At some point ... when I'm out of debt, I'll buy a designer handbag. I also find SLG's a little crazy about the price. On the other hand, I think that a beautiful logo belt can super upgrade a simple high street outfit. Thanks for the wonderful video. I rarely comment, but watch every video! : - *Big hug from germany
Hello :) Great video!! I recently purchased kirigami and I love it! I purchased for the exact same reasons you stated. Did alot of research prior to purchase wish i would've seen your video before doing that! You took all the work out of it! Thank you for this very informative piece!!!! Please give us many more like these!!!!!
This is a really great video… I’m glad you touched on the phone cases another thing is that a lot of the times we change out our phones so if we buy an expensive phone case and don’t stick with the same model or if manufacturers make the same model but a little bit bigger than we’ve just wasted money on the phone case…
I've got the LV kirigami set. Like you said, great value for that price.
Love your honesty and breakdowns.
Hey Sophie! I managed to score a Chanel mini flap but I'm hesitant on keeping it as it's lambskin and super pricey for what it is... I would love to hear your thoughts! ☺️
i love these comparison videos. This is how I analyze items i'm interested in purchasing. It's all about getting the biggest bang out of my buck.
The kirigami is wonderful. I love my set and I’m actually using it right now. It’s been so nice to carry around instead of a bag when I only need a few items. I use the smallest as a card holder, the medium as a catchall, and the large is big enough to hold a Wallet, a key holder, hand sanitizer, lipstick, and more.
I just started watching this video but I have to write and tell you how much I LOVE your blouse!❤️🧡💚
You are so sweet! Thank you for the love Adrienne and for watching!xx
Great video, thank you! Very creative video, in that you are comparing practicality and what you actually get for your money- genius!
I am in agreement. I have learned to save my money and keep my eyes on the prize.
Thanks for sharing these! Fresh perspective
Thanks for this analysis. These prices are horrendous and the alternatives you provided are great!
Always love your honest opinion, very useful!!!
I appreciate that! Thank you so much for watching my friend!xx
So happy youtube recommended your channel to me!
I actually found this bundle from dior... I think it’s called “Diortravel travel kit” - it comes with a large zip pouch/clutch, a seperate zip pouch, a passport cover, card holder and a luggage tag. 5 seperate items all in one kit and the price is less than $1400.. sure a luggage tag is kind of pointless but it’s such a great buy (I feel) for your money!
Most of the smaller luxury items such as these reminds me of the dough hole in a doughnut. They look like they're made of excess materials (they probably are, I'm not sure) but the prices are unreasonable. I didn't even notice your mascara until you mentioned it in the comments, it's like you teared up from the overly wallets and card holders prices - you still look ten times better than you think. Have a great day ahead, Sophie!
I never understood the purpose or need fora card holder. I always thought they were good first purchases from luxury brands because you might not have the money yet to buy a wallet or a bag. Otherwise, it's good for people who are REALLY minimalistic. But wouldn't you just want to save a few more hundreds and get an actual wallet or bag? Just my opinion
Thanks for the tips Sophie. Helps to identify where we should spend our hard earned cash should we want to buy any SLGs. 🙌
Very entertaining and so lovely I adore this concept of videos !!
I think you can read my mind Sophie! Ive been so tempted to buy another SLG but I'm saving up for another bag.Totes agree with the points you made here.
Hello my friend! I'd definitely skip the wallets/card holders too. They're so pretty but they can look trashed very quickly! Aim for your bag :) xx
Sophie Shohet | Fashion Beauty Lifestyle ahhh! You replied! Im so happy! My night is made! ❤️❤️ I definitely will save up for the bag I’ve been wanting to get for the longest time! ❤️
I agree but I don’t find any use for pouches, maybe because I don’t own any lol. I use card holder & key holder every day but I buy ONE and use it until I’m done and buy another. I say save your money for the bags you want!!
Puts things in perspective....
thank you💕✨
I bought a Coach card holder for $100. It is beautiful, durable and stylish👌. I think I could have gotten it on sale, but I needed it fast. So, I bought it full-price. Well worth it. SLGs are super expensive for all the wear and tear they suffer🤔great video!
Me too! Coach has the best SLGs... great quality, great style and you won't be sick when it wears out
I bought a cute Coach one with a bee on it for 35 bucks brand new in box!
@@rhiana7166 wow! Great price!
What a great video. I’ve never seen anyone so this. Very smart and you’re totally right.
And the LV Kirimgami set. I thought the same thing. I am actually looking for a catch all and a little card case. I’m just going to think about it for a while. Xoxo
Omg sophie😍your necklace is gorgeous! I can't keep my eyes off it😍😍😍😍💗
I can’t agree more on phone cases. 😅 Sophie, you re so inspiring. Thanks for your amazing video. 😘
OMG Sophie! That necklace is gorgeous ❤️😍🥰
I have the Dior belt bag and love it! It’s worth every penny!
Thanks for your precious advised 😘
Ohh now I want that Gucci case!! 💖 I’m a sucker for any monogram prints!
Such great points. I purchased the Louis Vuitton Kirigami 3 in 1 set and it has so many functions clutch/wallet/passport holder/catchall. I've had such great cost per wear with that.
Very informative video. You have amazing advice for people who are new to luxury brands such as myself. I have learnt so much from you. Thank you
This was suuuuuuper helpful! Thanks 😍
U r so right but I’m a sucker for lux knick knacks. 😊😆 thanks for sharing my lady! ❤️😘😘😘Sandy
I want to get the Louis Vuitton 6 key holder - but I went to an outlet and found a Kate Spade key holder for just 30 usd. Works just the same, and I’m happy that I have saved a lot for something that works just the same and without the glazing issue.
I enjoyed watching this so much that i had to watch it twice🤔👏🏻🥰
Great suggestions and tips 😍👏🏾👌🏾
I never knew the Dior Saddle Belt Pouch existed until now, I have to go get one in Blush immediately, so thank you for sharing! On another note, I've been wanting to purchase a nice pair of lace-up leather boots, and I've been rather fixated on the Chanel Lace-ups in Iridescent Calfskin, do you have any experience with the quality of these boots, or whether or not Chanel boots are worth a purchase in general? The nearest boutique is an entire flight away, so I can't justify a trip just to try on a pair of shoes, and there seems to be no reviews or opinions anywhere on them. Any boot suggestions otherwise? Much love x
You give great advice!
I agree, Michelle Joy. This video was FULL of really great advice.
I really enjoy your advices. Thank you so much
Thank you! Very informative!
This is a fabulous comparison video Sophie, you talk sense girl. Hope you’re both fit and well x x x
Just got my Dior saddle wallet today and totally agree that some of the Chanel SLGs are so overpriced that I might as well move to Dior more. Thanks for sharing the video Xxx
I got the Louis Vuitton Kirigami set last year and have gotten so much use for it! The smallest one is my cardholder, the middle one is great for going to the bar or a restaurant, just phone and cards, the largest one I’ve used as both a clutch and popped a chain in to use as a small crossbody bag.
Hi Sophie wanted to say hello just joined your channel and love watching have been on lockdown for what seems like forever as my husband is vulnerable . Please take care and stay safe xxx
Hello Carol! That's so kind of you to join me here - I hope you continue to enjoy it! :)
I'm so sorry to hear about your husband, this situation is concerning enough I can imagine that must add extra worries. A very tough time, you and your husband are in my thoughts. I'm sure we'll be through this soon xx
Completely agree with what you said about cardholders! My very first designer purchase ever was a YSL cardholder that I'd wanted for years and couldn't afford to buy because of debt. Was finally able to afford it and 4 years later it's worn horribly. Scratches, scuffs, all sorts. Same with a Mulberry purse, despite it being grained leather. I don't regret the purchases at all because it was all I could afford and they were really special to me at the time, I never would've been able to save for a bag in the financial position I was in back then. But now I have more disposable income, I'll never buy a luxury SLG again, even though I get tempted to all the time because of how beautiful they are! x
Love this video Sophie! Could you make another with highly priced/trendy bags vs classics?
I purchased the LV Kirigami set then bought clear plastic fitted case for it that had attachments for a chain for the large pouch, instant cross body. Then I made liners for the medium and small with rivets on them so I can attach a small necklace to wear.
I have been buying a couple of SLGs from watching YT. My best purchase is the Lv trio pouch. You can use it all together or use it separately.
