Giiiirrrrllllll. Your allowed to grow and change. I used to love a speedy, then when I had kids I used neverfull. Now ... I'm starting to love smaller bags. I watch your videos because I like you and your reviews . Do you girl!!!
We change our clothes, hair,shoes,what's the big deal about changing brands,I use so many all the time. We have that option for everything, from all brands,yesterday I used a longchamp with LV accessories and a Goyard wallet. Today I used an MCM bag with a hermes coin purse. Tmro I am using a LeSportsac with Vera Bradley wristlet. I love diversity and the fact we can change it up with what we need at all price points. All the best to you and your whole family Xoxo MJ
Bereal I only buy vintage Chanel, the classic flaps that were plated with real gold vs this gold tones hardware they have now. The quality back then was far more superior to what they are putting out now. The recent price increases have just confirmed my stance on buying quality pre-loved.
I completely agree with everything you stated about Louis Vuitton. I felt the EXACT same way in regards to the canvas pieces becoming more limited. I too felt they were trying to be like Hermes by making their canvas limited. It's canvas, not leather. LV needs a reality check. . There is only one Hermes and LV will never be able to compete. LV needs a complete overhaul. Bring back the canvas pieces, take care of all the quality control issues they have and work to make their customer service better. ❤
Absolutely right about LV. Just awful designs now. Where is a simple crossbody in canvas???That's a really simple request to them, a necessity, and they're just stupid about it. I don't want a mini hatbox, or trunk, or a junky looking backpack. I just want a GOOD SiZED canvas crossbody bag!!! Like 10"x 8" or 12" x 9" and with a zipper, thank you very much, not some ridiculous magnet closure that plops open when you stop at a traffic light and your purse flies off the seat next to you, or a creep goes in for your wallet. SIMPLE. And I hate the damn buckets that look like feed bags for a horse.
Love you Jerusha! Nothing but love and support for you! Totally agree about LV, it’s really such a bummer to not be able to get the staples that made them so popular in the first place. Time and time again I’m ready to purchase an item only to find out that it’s impossible to get which has lead me into different fashion houses. Don’t know what they’re trying to accomplish but if they want to steer their clients to other fashion houses then mission accomplished. It’s a bummer though because I love LV but have no choice but to look elsewhere where supply and demand is met :) Love your videos! Keep doing you cuz you’re awesome!
Agree Jerusha’s right, they’re not Hermes, there’s no established set up that you spend enough money with one Hermes SA and you get offered a Birkin or kelly deal, they should produce enough Speedy’s and Métis’ that if you have the money you can buy one, like every other designer brand
I believe that people never stop changing and evolving. It’s just a part of being alive and learning and growing. Like you, my introduction into luxury was Louis Vuitton. I now have items from other brands on my wish list. That isn’t because I don’t like LV anymore, far from it, I have had my LV SLGs and two bags for many years and I love them, they aren’t going anywhere. It’s because I now have all the items I feel I need from them in my collection and it’s time to move on and diversify.
Word for word, I agree with EVERYTHING you said about Louis Vuitton! I could not have said it better---and I am so happy that you publicly said what so many of us are thinking!
True true - if I want a leather bag, I'm going to Chanel and not LV. I don't care much for LV's leather. Their canvas however I love. But when I try to buy a canvas LV and it is so unavailable, I will look to another brand that is more readily available. So they lose business.
We grow and change. I agree. I've changed my views on luxury bags too. I can't justify $5k Canadian or more on a capucines when a chanel classic for same price will always keep its value or more .... Gucci and Louis are going funky and retro that won't stand the test of time. As I'm maturing I see the classics as a better option. 👍
you have zero complaints about the things you love? everything is perfect? or even the people in your life? I don’t think it’s strange for her to have some complaints about something - even if she loves it.
I love LV but have complaints about their lack of consistent quality control. You can definitely have complaints of something you love and still see a downfall.
Well especially if a Brand has quality issues of course you can love the brand (past quality and classics) but complain about its change for the worse.
Jerusha, I agree with you. I will never own a Birkin or Kelly, and I don't even have any Chanel pieces in my collection (yet!), but it's not about a particular brand, it's about LUXURY. This community has educated (and entertained) me so much, and that's why I continue to watch. Keep going!
I have been a loyal LV girl For 23 yrs (started at 17) and I made the switch to YSL and Chanel. I started selling off my LV and just kept the pieces i loved! I am just over Louis Vuitton. You do you baby girl ❤️ sending you love from Texas
I definitely agree that they have lost appeal. I have never had any loyalty to a particular brand, because I am a lover of beautiful, trendy, classic and unique bags. I love colors, prints, some monogram and most of all QUALITY. I love Chanel, but it isn’t in my immediate budget. I love seeing what they’ve been doing with color variety. Purchase what makes your heart sing!
I agree with you 100000% about Louis Vuitton! I couldn’t agree with you more! Every single item I have been trying to get has been so far out of reach for over a year now.. it’s SO aggravating and annoying to keep calling and going into the store to find absolutely nothing! I’ve geared more towards Gucci again!
Oh my internet is so harsh on people. We are allowed to change our taste in everything from dresses to bags and life in general. I bought my first chanel bag (vintage) because of your collection Jerusha! I know i will never be able to sleep again if i buy a brand new. It is very expensive but i want a piece of chanel that’s within my budget. Don’t let anyone influence your decisions. 💖 you!
To be honest I myself can't even afford Louis Vuitton let alone Chanel Dior Hermes Chloe any luxury house brand even coach and I still watch your videos cuz I love luxury bags I watch a lot of luxury videos and I don't understand why people get so offended when influencers are RUclipsrs do Luxury videos but you're the one clicking on to it like and never makes sense to me why get upset about it oh I did someone on it. Like I say I came for not one thing and I still watch luxury videos.! So keep doing you!❤👛👝
Totally agree that we change and evolve! Can’t really get around the fact of all luxury being less of a luxury experience! The quality decrease also stops me from buying so many bags now! For example your stunning Camera Bag why didn’t that make the shoulder strap removable? Not to spend money on adding two claps? That would have made the Bag so much more versatile! Just an example among many...
I totally agree with you Jerusha 🙋🏻♀️ Luxury is luxury 💕 doesn’t matter which house brand we love ❤️We all need to support one another 🥰 We can’t judge people 🥰
Also, about having and not having, and enjoying vicariously. When you go to a museum to see beautiful things...you enjoy them without having to own them. They inspire, they uplift, they enchant even though they're not yours, though one day they may be. That's the take-away.
I agree with your opinion on Louis Vuitton at the moment,. Their canvas bags are the best and I agree that they have made a mistake with that market. I think Gucci , Louis Vuitton and some other brands are just over doing their designs at the moment. I think Chanel bags are just classic so I can see why you love them.
Hi babe! Buy what YOU love!! Honestly I ADORE handbags in general regardless of the brand whether it be a high end store or a thrift store handbags is the first section I go to! I have ride or die pieces from Vuitton, Chanel, Coach, Michael Kors etc. and some from no name at all! My only rule has been I have to LOVE the piece or its a waste of time, money and storage space regardless of whose brand is on it! 🤣 Also I 100% feel you on styles changing and not feeling it. I enjoy Coach a lot but I haven't been feeling their designs the last few years. And 100% on Vuitton too. Not loving a lot of their designs lately except the Babylone....crushing on that one hard!! Lol. One question I have is how do you feel about Vuitton leather...one thing I notice in the lux community is a lot of the time when people compare LV & Chanel it's comparing LV canvas to Chanel leather which I kinda feel is apples to oranges. I would love a comparison of leather vs. leather and hear your thoughts? 😃
That cardholder is the BEST! I have it in black caviar and recently I’ve been wondering why I even have any other wallets anymore because I never ever switch out of it now!
I agreed with LV. It’s frustrating not being able to get these canvas pieces. I’ve recently found my love for luxury and LV’s lack of keeping items available has discourage me from the fashion house. Hope they make some changes soon
I read somewhere last year, that LV was trying to go after another market or demographic. I suspect that with dedicated LV loyalists that they've become older, more sophisticated. Basically, LV really does need to maintain market share by maintaining some of that and in attracting a younger demographic of Millennials who have spending power because, like in the U.S., they can't afford the high cost of apartment rentals on their own. In/around the San Francisco bay area, I know places where people have as many as 5 or 6 roommates in a 2 bedroom apartment. In other cities, some Millennials have returned home to mom and dad. Because of that, they do have money to spend on indulgences. In Asia, many working young professionals also live at home because, well, it seems marriage is no longer in fashion as much. I see many Asian tourists, carrying bags of luxury items. I believe that's why LV is doing what they're doing from a design standpoint but, that's just my opinion as I used to work for one of their subsidiaries, and those are my observations!
I totally agree with you on that Louis Vuitton is trying to make certain bags “exclusive” for instance I’ve been checking in the store basically every week for the past year for a Pochette Métis, however I’ve just given up and have gone an purchase something from Chanel 🙄 also on fashionphile they’ve raised the price for pochette as they consider them hard to get and or exclusive 😑
Totally agree about direction LV has gone - those garish flowers and colors - ugh! Must ask, don’t those tiny bags annoy for a daily bag? I get it for a dinner, or going out bag, but if I can’t get my essentials, I.e., phone, sunnies, wallet, keys, snack bar, lip products, and touch up, etc, what is the use? Cute camera bag though and love the accessories in pink.
I have changed to more vintage Fendi and Gucci. I never thought I could afford it. I still love my LV but have diversified into other brands. We all need to change it up once and a while 💋🧳👜💼👛 💐
I get what you're saying. I don't think you necessarily hate the house, but rather what it's become at the moment. I love the overall heritage, but the last few collections have been subpar. They're churning out leather bags, most of which are hideous, and letting their canvas styles suffer as a result. The trends right now would greatly favor monogram canvas, so there's no reason they should make it inaccessible. The crazy thing is that I get emails advertising the speedy, but you can't actually get one easily. The powers that be at LV are making poor choices for their brand.
I agree. LV Neverfulls, Speedy, etc are very traditionally the gateway drug. They should embrace that instead of allowing Gucci to take over that role. Bad business decision.
LV should pay Marc Jacobs whatever he wants to get him back. I wish they would do more canvas pieces under $1500. With the disappearance of some of the less expensive canvas bags, the only thing left under $1500 seems to be the Neverfull and the Speedy. 😢
I absolutely agree with you about LV. They should let buyers be able to buy the canvas and not hold back. I think the canvas is still a pretty penny to purchase and not everybody wants a leather handbag and to force them to have that is not right. You just keep doing what you do you’re an inspiration and I love your Handbag collection no matter which house it’s from. Thank you for doing awesome videos
I feel you. They are reducing on the canvas and I think that’s why people have ventured into other brands and we see more brands in YT now. Love your camera Chanel! Love all the compartments in it. It’s different. Can you do a video on your top 3 Chanels you would recommend to a first time Chanel buyer? Thinking about jumping into the woc for my first Chanel piece.
Yep your so right on that one Jerusha Louis Vuitton have a few items that doesn’t have the high standards the monogram isn’t the same out of most collections the tiger prints are not bad I even brought a porchette Métis in black I wanted the monograms but after when you had issues with yours I didn’t get it but your correct about lv styles
I completely agree 100% with your assessment of LV. I have no desire to buy or want any of their current collection whatsoever. I crave a canvas pochette Matisse... I crave anything in a canvas. But they tell me don’t bother ordering a canvas one, but they offer you leather which is way too expensive for any budget. I waited seven months for a mini pochette! Who waits that long for such a Small dinky item? I will never be suckered into that again. I will buy pre-loved. I have a Manhattan p.m. and I adore it and got it immediately - almost brand new. As if the exclusivity of it would have made the brand more desirable. It does not... it turns me off and LV and it’s house can go to pot, and I won’t to be sad about it.
Haha. I could never afford what you had with Louis Vuitton, let alone Chanel. But I still love watching you do all your unboxing precisely for that! I love living my life THROUH you! That way I can somewhat experience the luxury good life without paying for the pricetag! Please keep doing what you do! Please never change! It's fun to see what you're getting into next!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I appreciate you so much! Thank you for showing us your cycles, process, and truth. Please don’t let others get under your skin because your other subbies love you deeply
I feel the same about LV. It’s the only brand I have completely moved on twice from. There is a love hate relationship between the brand and myself lol. I started buying a few pieces from this fashion house AGAIN for the 3rd time, because of the Métis pochette. Since then, I have been very meticulous, careful and picky of the items I purchased. The only thing that I feel and strongly agree with you about is the “canvas difficult to get times” makes me detour myself and much rather prefer buying a similar item of whatever I need at the moment from Chanel.
I am about to take my first step into Chanel. Well I guess my second as I have a Chanel card case. I am trying to decide between the Boy bag and a rectangular mini. Do you see one as more versatile than the other? P.S. I love your collection.
Oh you are so right Jerusha! When they started pulling back on the canvas and making it difficult to purchase (especially online) is when I really cracked it with the brand! Ridiculous!
I used to love your videos because I think you are so positive, nice, warm and forthcoming in them. But in this one, I just feel differently, it’s not about Lv or Chanel, it’s just the way you make those comments sounds quite negative and aggressive. Of course, you have every right to say why it doesn’t work out for you, or why you’re not a fan of it, but I just feel the whole vibe of these comments are on the more negative side, and I’m not sure whether your other fans would like this. It’s just my personal opinion.
I don't married with only one brand I like what I like and that's what I buy. I think the beauty of fashion and luxe its following your own style and taste not matter what others said.
Thanks for this. My taste too has changed - now sold almost all my Mulberry and replacing with LV, CHANEL and Hermes. By the way thanks for showing your garden party in pink poupre - inspired me and I was then offered a birkin in that colour!
I just love Louis Vuitton but it is almost out of my price range. Most of the pieces I had, I have had to sell them to make ends meet since I became disabled and retired. I hope they do not stop making the speedy 25 because I am trying to save to get one since I sold the one I did have. I want a vintage but I also like the shoulder strap. Can you give me advice on whether the opening is a bit bigger on the classic than the bandouliere because of the dual zipper pulls? Would welcome any comment you might have.
Jerusha, it's too bad that you have to explain your changing style and tastes. I find it a bit silly that viewers feel they have the right to criticize everyone on YT! What if we all held a mirror to ourselves and every action was scrutinized by virtual strangers?! Anyway I totally support whatever you do/buy/rant about because you are you! It's the reason I subscribed to you, you're always honest and unapologetic about your life choices and I wish I had the ovaries to combat all that negativity! People need to take a chill pill and realize we only see a tiny snippet of your life that you so graciously allow us all to see. I love that you have evolved and we can follow that journey, after all, if you're not evolving, what the hell is the point of life? Love you girl. You do you. Love from Indiana.xxxxx
Well said Jerusha. I totally agree with you about Louis Vuitton. Hate the new stuff. Looks cheap and nasty. They should stick with the classics and what they do best.
People need to realize that we as humans change our minds and then we come back.. I dont get why people have to put influencers in a certain box and feel like they have the right to tell people what they should and shouldn't like.. just keep doing you live... you're an inspiration and a wealth of information and seeing you happy with your unboxing and purchases is what people should focus on.. xoxo from Canada
I completely agree with you Jerusha!!! I too have been gravitating toward Chanel lately and there is nothing wrong with that! Our tastes evolve and change and that’s ok!!
Love your vlogs!! Your kids are adorable. You have s beautiful handbag collection. I agree with you about LV and the availability of canvas pieces and items in general. It seems like every time a new bag comes out, it is hard to obtain. I prefer the older styles more lately, better quality in my opinion. I only have one channel bag, the GST. Love it.
Hey I’m first never happened before. I have loved LV but I’m not a fan of many of the latest designs. I love the canvas pieces more than the leather pieces and they fit more in my budget. I tend to buy mostly pre-owned now as the new range doesn’t interest me. I love the quality of the vintage canvas pieces over anything being manufactured now.
Karen Ellis agree I only buy preowned LV, the quality issues with new items are just too problematic, I think the introduction of empreinte leather was the last time LV had me interested
Your mother's sweater is so nice! Love it... you both are so stylish :) I definitely go through phases in brands as well ... I'm getting into chanel now.. but only reissues.. I don't care for CCs everywhere same with LV and branding in general... it is all trendy 2 me.. but it may change. I am loving LV though.. so 2 each their own!
i dont understand why people would say they cant relate with you anymore because they cant buy chanel. i personally dont have a chanel bag (but it will happen for sure) and shop a lot of saint laurent cause i love the vibe but i still love watching your videos and enjoy your beautiful collection cause it doesnt matter wich label you shop if anything at all right? ;)
Jerusha, I do completely understand what you are saying; because my mother’s LV from the 70’s and 80’s canvas are much stronger and durable. In addition, I’ve watched you for nearly a decade, and we grow, change, and mature. I’m trying to convince hubby to buy me my first Chanel handbag, lets just say, I will buy myself one😆 Thanks for your informative videos about luxury brands
It’s nothing wrong with elevating your taste especially when it comes to luxury brands. You shouldn’t have to define to one brand and if you do that’s a personal choice. You shouldn’t have to apologize or feel bad for being you and for showing the elevated you. I love what ever you put out. You are awesome can cater to many different types of people🥰. Continue to be you unapologetically and if they don’t like it oh well. Maybe in that department your videos don’t serve them any longer. Don’t stop putting out what makes you happy to please someone else.🧡
I dislike Louis Vuitton because the quality has changed. I used to buy their products in undergrad almost 20 years ago and it’s like night and day. I also take umbrage with their lacking customer support! Edit: Who emails you about Louis Vuitton!?! People have too much time on their hands.
Does the seasonal strap squeak? Just curious. I go thru cycles too with what I'm loving and the shapes I'm into. It's weird for someone to be upset about you getting Chanel just because they can't afford it. Like, why? I don't get that. Be here to just admire and celebrate luxury stuff or just go elsewhere. It's OK to be happy for others when they're excited about something...
My "luxury" bags are from Dooney & Bourke, but I still love watching Hermes, Chanel, LV, and lots of other unboxings. It's fun to see others happy about handbags. Any handbags.
You hit on some really good points and you can spend your money on whatever you want- it’s your money, period. Love your channel. A tote comparison video would be great!
I can’t relate to the bags you buy anymore and I don’t watch those hauls or videos! But I have been following you for years and I still love to watch your vlogs! It’s not even that I can’t afford Chanel because I can and could even afford Hermès with a little planning. I just don’t ever see myself spending more than a certain amount on a bag. Regardless I love your videos! ❤️
Just to follow up on my comment as well, I also think that the customer service has gone downhill quite a bit you cannot ever get a hold of anybody in the store when they put in a request to have them call you for a purchase and I think that’s not right. They’ve lost out on multiple sales from me because of that.
Chanel mini twinzies! Although I’m still keeping the clear sticker on the CC...until it gets too dirty lol! Loving your current collection by the way! In regards to LV vs Chanel, I agree 110%! Chanel is currently a better “investment” IMO!
Jerusha, that chanel pink camera bag is so tempting 😋.. My first designer bag is LV too but now im straying towards YSL and slowly building chanel.. Surely, there is nothing wrong with changing your preferences, If i had not had weird attachment with my bags, I would have sell few pieces too😅..love yaa
darling please tell me how much you pay for the postage shipping and tax when you sell your item to fashiophile please please. iam also in sydeny and want to sell my favourite mm to fashionphile.thank you
My last LV buy was the mini pochette in 2016. The hardwares tarnished and it got fixed and it tarnished again and they won't fix it anymore. And I thought I would not buy any of their product. I fell it should not tarnish considering the cost of it. I am still using my pieces though.
Love you Jerusha. I'm glad you loving Chanel. I'm praying for you to get more financially bountiful and start all Hermes journey. Plus, I just bought a LOUIS VUITTON Pochette Metis. Because you inspire me! Love from Singapore. 😍🥰😘
I agree with you about the LV designer; I don't really care for what he has been creating the brand hasn't really vibed with me since he became the lead designer...and it's ridiculous to try to force consumers onto their leather goods when they are known for canvas. Just accept it you are loved for your canvas don't try and force something that isn't going to happen 🤷
Totally agree with u babe! MJ made one of the best collections for LV. I still keep and continue to collect his LV collection. Those graffiti really glows in the dark too!
Babe , loved this video and I think the whole persona of luxe is living just one brand but that’s not the case. We all get older and our tastes change, our lifestyles change, I personally love seeing other luxe enthusiasts change and grow in the luxe world.... I feel the same with LV babe , love love your collection always have 😍❣️😘😘😘😘
I only bought Louis Vuitton for many years and I found as time went on quality decreased, and the price increased, and all their good basic designs like the Eva and the Favourite, or even the Delightful have been discontinued and they added all these fancier leather bags which are almost the price as some Chanels
I have 2 Louis Vuitton bags and a key holder, and those were purchased over the last 10 years and when I can afford another luxury item I will get i. I love your videos I have been watching I feel like the last 10 years or since the very beginning of you making videos and it does not matter to me if you change up brands, I just wish I could afford those, and live vicariously through you until I can. You have great taste in everything I see you with in my opinion.
You are so right about the LV canvas!!! I still have the old canvas and I love it! Can’t handle the new feel. So kinda on hold now, although got a beautiful wallet on the resale market. Waiting for it to arrive:) but I can’t relate to new stuff :(
Giiiirrrrllllll. Your allowed to grow and change. I used to love a speedy, then when I had kids I used neverfull. Now ... I'm starting to love smaller bags. I watch your videos because I like you and your reviews . Do you girl!!!
Your video was titled LV rant but first 16 mins was family..lol
We change our clothes, hair,shoes,what's the big deal about changing brands,I use so many all the time.
We have that option for everything, from all brands,yesterday I used a longchamp with LV accessories and a Goyard wallet.
Today I used an MCM bag with a hermes coin purse.
Tmro I am using a LeSportsac with Vera Bradley wristlet.
I love diversity and the fact we can change it up with what we need at all price points.
All the best to you and your whole family
Xoxo
MJ
I love Louis Vuitton ,but it sucks you can’t get anything you want because it always said call for availability . 🙁
Chanel is equally bad in quality...just more expensive ..just saying
compared to their vintage pieces (I only buy vintage bags, jackets and jewellery) the quality is shocking at the moment.
Bereal I only buy vintage Chanel, the classic flaps that were plated with real gold vs this gold tones hardware they have now. The quality back then was far more superior to what they are putting out now. The recent price increases have just confirmed my stance on buying quality pre-loved.
I completely agree with everything you stated about Louis Vuitton. I felt the EXACT same way in regards to the canvas pieces becoming more limited. I too felt they were trying to be like Hermes by making their canvas limited. It's canvas, not leather. LV needs a reality check. . There is only one Hermes and LV will never be able to compete. LV needs a complete overhaul. Bring back the canvas pieces, take care of all the quality control issues they have and work to make their customer service better. ❤
I agree with you
I have loved LV for 30 years. I don’t love every single new piece but the brand as a whole is my favorite luxury brand.
Rant starts at 17:30 you are welcome !
Absolutely right about LV. Just awful designs now. Where is a simple crossbody in canvas???That's a really simple request to them, a necessity, and they're just stupid about it. I don't want a mini hatbox, or trunk, or a junky looking backpack. I just want a GOOD SiZED canvas crossbody bag!!! Like 10"x 8" or 12" x 9" and with a zipper, thank you very much, not some ridiculous magnet closure that plops open when you stop at a traffic light and your purse flies off the seat next to you, or a creep goes in for your wallet. SIMPLE. And I hate the damn buckets that look like feed bags for a horse.
Love you Jerusha! Nothing but love and support for you! Totally agree about LV, it’s really such a bummer to not be able to get the staples that made them so popular in the first place. Time and time again I’m ready to purchase an item only to find out that it’s impossible to get which has lead me into different fashion houses. Don’t know what they’re trying to accomplish but if they want to steer their clients to other fashion houses then mission accomplished. It’s a bummer though because I love LV but have no choice but to look elsewhere where supply and demand is met :) Love your videos! Keep doing you cuz you’re awesome!
Agree Jerusha’s right, they’re not Hermes, there’s no established set up that you spend enough money with one Hermes SA and you get offered a Birkin or kelly deal, they should produce enough Speedy’s and Métis’ that if you have the money you can buy one, like every other designer brand
I believe that people never stop changing and evolving. It’s just a part of being alive and learning and growing. Like you, my introduction into luxury was Louis Vuitton. I now have items from other brands on my wish list. That isn’t because I don’t like LV anymore, far from it, I have had my LV SLGs and two bags for many years and I love them, they aren’t going anywhere. It’s because I now have all the items I feel I need from them in my collection and it’s time to move on and diversify.
Suzanne Hall agree I think many women are introduced to designer goods from LV and then move on from there
Word for word, I agree with EVERYTHING you said about Louis Vuitton! I could not have said it better---and I am so happy that you publicly said what so many of us are thinking!
True true - if I want a leather bag, I'm going to Chanel and not LV. I don't care much for LV's leather. Their canvas however I love. But when I try to buy a canvas LV and it is so unavailable, I will look to another brand that is more readily available. So they lose business.
We grow and change. I agree. I've changed my views on luxury bags too. I can't justify $5k Canadian or more on a capucines when a chanel classic for same price will always keep its value or more .... Gucci and Louis are going funky and retro that won't stand the test of time. As I'm maturing I see the classics as a better option. 👍
I’m not sure what you’re saying ... you say you still love LV but then start to complain about it???
you have zero complaints about the things you love? everything is perfect? or even the people in your life? I don’t think it’s strange for her to have some complaints about something - even if she loves it.
I love LV but have complaints about their lack of consistent quality control. You can definitely have complaints of something you love and still see a downfall.
Well especially if a
Brand has quality issues of course you can love the brand (past quality and classics) but complain about its change for the worse.
Jerusha, I agree with you. I will never own a Birkin or Kelly, and I don't even have any Chanel pieces in my collection (yet!), but it's not about a particular brand, it's about LUXURY. This community has educated (and entertained) me so much, and that's why I continue to watch. Keep going!
I agree with you.women love good old quality canvas bags from Lois Vuitton.
Could you do a video on your tote bag collection or tote bags you recommend?💕
I have been a loyal LV girl
For 23 yrs (started at 17) and I made the switch to YSL and Chanel. I started selling off my LV and just kept the pieces i loved! I am just over Louis Vuitton. You do you baby girl ❤️ sending you love from Texas
I definitely agree that they have lost appeal. I have never had any loyalty to a particular brand, because I am a lover of beautiful, trendy, classic and unique bags. I love colors, prints, some monogram and most of all QUALITY. I love Chanel, but it isn’t in my immediate budget. I love seeing what they’ve been doing with color variety. Purchase what makes your heart sing!
I agree with you 100000% about Louis Vuitton! I couldn’t agree with you more!

To be honest I myself can't even afford Louis Vuitton let alone Chanel Dior Hermes Chloe any luxury house brand even coach and I still watch your videos cuz I love luxury bags I watch a lot of luxury videos and I don't understand why people get so offended when influencers are RUclipsrs do Luxury videos but you're the one clicking on to it like and never makes sense to me why get upset about it oh I did someone on it. Like I say I came for not one thing and I still watch luxury videos.! So keep doing you!❤👛👝
Totally agree that we change and evolve! Can’t really get around the fact of all luxury being less of a luxury experience! The quality decrease also stops me from buying so many bags now! For example your stunning Camera Bag why didn’t that make the shoulder strap removable? Not to spend money on adding two claps? That would have made the Bag so much more versatile! Just an example among many...
I totally agree with you Jerusha 🙋🏻♀️ Luxury is luxury 💕 doesn’t matter which house brand we love ❤️We all need to support one another 🥰 We can’t judge people 🥰
Also, about having and not having, and enjoying vicariously. When you go to a museum to see beautiful things...you enjoy them without having to own them. They inspire, they uplift, they enchant even though they're not yours, though one day they may be. That's the take-away.
I agree with your opinion on Louis Vuitton at the moment,. Their canvas bags are the best and I agree that they have made a mistake with that market. I think Gucci , Louis Vuitton and some other brands are just over doing their designs at the moment. I think Chanel bags are just classic so I can see why you love them.
Hi babe! Buy what YOU love!! Honestly I ADORE handbags in general regardless of the brand whether it be a high end store or a thrift store handbags is the first section I go to! I have ride or die pieces from Vuitton, Chanel, Coach, Michael Kors etc. and some from no name at all! My only rule has been I have to LOVE the piece or its a waste of time, money and storage space regardless of whose brand is on it! 🤣 Also I 100% feel you on styles changing and not feeling it. I enjoy Coach a lot but I haven't been feeling their designs the last few years. And 100% on Vuitton too. Not loving a lot of their designs lately except the Babylone....crushing on that one hard!! Lol. One question I have is how do you feel about Vuitton leather...one thing I notice in the lux community is a lot of the time when people compare LV & Chanel it's comparing LV canvas to Chanel leather which I kinda feel is apples to oranges. I would love a comparison of leather vs. leather and hear your thoughts? 😃
That cardholder is the BEST! I have it in black caviar and recently I’ve been wondering why I even have any other wallets anymore because I never ever switch out of it now!
You do you girl, I’ll follow you no matter what you buy! It’s started out Lux but now it’s all love for you and your family babe 😘
Well articulated about LV and totally relate babe! ❤️
I agreed with LV. It’s frustrating not being able to get these canvas pieces. I’ve recently found my love for luxury and LV’s lack of keeping items available has discourage me from the fashion house. Hope they make some changes soon
I read somewhere last year, that LV was trying to go after another market or demographic. I suspect that with dedicated LV loyalists that they've become older, more sophisticated. Basically, LV really does need to maintain market share by maintaining some of that and in attracting a younger demographic of Millennials who have spending power because, like in the U.S., they can't afford the high cost of apartment rentals on their own. In/around the San Francisco bay area, I know places where people have as many as 5 or 6 roommates in a 2 bedroom apartment. In other cities, some Millennials have returned home to mom and dad. Because of that, they do have money to spend on indulgences. In Asia, many working young professionals also live at home because, well, it seems marriage is no longer in fashion as much. I see many Asian tourists, carrying bags of luxury items. I believe that's why LV is doing what they're doing from a design standpoint but, that's just my opinion as I used to work for one of their subsidiaries, and those are my observations!
mrvg style in Asia young women often live at home before marriage, so they do have the funds for designer goods
I have been subscribed to you since you were like 20k. congrats on your 100k 😱❤
I totally agree with you on that Louis Vuitton is trying to make certain bags “exclusive” for instance I’ve been checking in the store basically every week for the past year for a Pochette Métis, however I’ve just given up and have gone an purchase something from Chanel 🙄 also on fashionphile they’ve raised the price for pochette as they consider them hard to get and or exclusive 😑
Totally agree about direction LV has gone - those garish flowers and colors - ugh! Must ask, don’t those tiny bags annoy for a daily bag? I get it for a dinner, or going out bag, but if I can’t get my essentials, I.e., phone, sunnies, wallet, keys, snack bar, lip products, and touch up, etc, what is the use? Cute camera bag though and love the accessories in pink.
I have changed to more vintage Fendi and Gucci. I never thought I could afford it. I still love my LV but have diversified into other brands. We all need to change it up once and a while 💋🧳👜💼👛 💐
I get what you're saying. I don't think you necessarily hate the house, but rather what it's become at the moment. I love the overall heritage, but the last few collections have been subpar. They're churning out leather bags, most of which are hideous, and letting their canvas styles suffer as a result. The trends right now would greatly favor monogram canvas, so there's no reason they should make it inaccessible. The crazy thing is that I get emails advertising the speedy, but you can't actually get one easily. The powers that be at LV are making poor choices for their brand.
I agree 100% 💯 Yes Girl! I enjoy designs from multiple fashion houses. Get what you like and what functions for you at different stages of life. 💯
Rant starts at 17:46
I agree. LV Neverfulls, Speedy, etc are very traditionally the gateway drug. They should embrace that instead of allowing Gucci to take over that role. Bad business decision.
I completely understand your bag choices. We all need to chillax n be happy for each other as we evolve and change.
LV should pay Marc Jacobs whatever he wants to get him back. I wish they would do more canvas pieces under $1500. With the disappearance of some of the less expensive canvas bags, the only thing left under $1500 seems to be the Neverfull and the Speedy. 😢
I absolutely agree with you about LV. They should let buyers be able to buy the canvas and not hold back. I think the canvas is still a pretty penny to purchase and not everybody wants a leather handbag and to force them to have that is not right. You just keep doing what you do you’re an inspiration and I love your Handbag collection no matter which house it’s from. Thank you for doing awesome videos
Heyyy, 100k! Congratulations Jerusha! Woohoo!
I feel you. They are reducing on the canvas and I think that’s why people have ventured into other brands and we see more brands in YT now.
Love your camera Chanel! Love all the compartments in it. It’s different. Can you do a video on your top 3 Chanels you would recommend to a first time Chanel buyer? Thinking about jumping into the woc for my first Chanel piece.
FRIDAY NIGHT WITH J!!!
Yep your so right on that one Jerusha Louis Vuitton have a few items that doesn’t have the high standards the monogram isn’t the same out of most collections the tiger prints are not bad I even brought a porchette Métis in black I wanted the monograms but after when you had issues with yours I didn’t get it but your correct about lv styles
I completely agree 100% with your assessment of LV. I have no desire to buy or want any of their current collection whatsoever. I crave a canvas pochette Matisse... I crave anything in a canvas. But they tell me don’t bother ordering a canvas one, but they offer you leather which is way too expensive for any budget. I waited seven months for a mini pochette! Who waits that long for such a Small dinky item? I will never be suckered into that again. I will buy pre-loved. I have a Manhattan p.m. and I adore it and got it immediately - almost brand new. As if the exclusivity of it would have made the brand more desirable. It does not... it turns me off and LV and it’s house can go to pot, and I won’t to be sad about it.
A. Mazzaferro It’s called Pochette Metis.
Haha. I could never afford what you had with Louis Vuitton, let alone Chanel. But I still love watching you do all your unboxing precisely for that! I love living my life THROUH you! That way I can somewhat experience the luxury good life without paying for the pricetag! Please keep doing what you do! Please never change! It's fun to see what you're getting into next!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I appreciate you so much! Thank you for showing us your cycles, process, and truth. Please don’t let others get under your skin because your other subbies love you deeply
I feel the same about LV. It’s the only brand I have completely moved on twice from. There is a love hate relationship between the brand and myself lol. I started buying a few pieces from this fashion house AGAIN for the 3rd time, because of the Métis pochette. Since then, I have been very meticulous, careful and picky of the items I purchased. The only thing that I feel and strongly agree with you about is the “canvas difficult to get times” makes me detour myself and much rather prefer buying a similar item of whatever I need at the moment from Chanel.
I am about to take my first step into Chanel. Well I guess my second as I have a Chanel card case. I am trying to decide between the Boy bag and a rectangular mini. Do you see one as more versatile than the other? P.S. I love your collection.
Oh you are so right Jerusha! When they started pulling back on the canvas and making it difficult to purchase (especially online) is when I really cracked it with the brand! Ridiculous!
Those drones are crazy addictive! And love your chanel mini/camera bags!
I used to love your videos because I think you are so positive, nice, warm and forthcoming in them.
But in this one, I just feel differently, it’s not about Lv or Chanel, it’s just the way you make those comments sounds quite negative and aggressive. Of course, you have every right to say why it doesn’t work out for you, or why you’re not a fan of it, but I just feel the whole vibe of these comments are on the more negative side, and I’m not sure whether your other fans would like this. It’s just my personal opinion.
I don't married with only one brand I like what I like and that's what I buy. I think the beauty of fashion and luxe its following your own style and taste not matter what others said.
i agree with you Jerusha! i do not like when they make it hard to get the canvas bags... i love the monograms vs the leather bags they have.
Thanks for this. My taste too has changed - now sold almost all my Mulberry and replacing with LV, CHANEL and Hermes. By the way thanks for showing your garden party in pink poupre - inspired me and I was then offered a birkin in that colour!
I just love Louis Vuitton but it is almost out of my price range. Most of the pieces I had, I have had to sell them to make ends meet since I became disabled and retired. I hope they do not stop making the speedy 25 because I am trying to save to get one since I sold the one I did have. I want a vintage but I also like the shoulder strap. Can you give me advice on whether the opening is a bit bigger on the classic than the bandouliere because of the dual zipper pulls? Would welcome any comment you might have.
Thanks for sharing such good info about LV..I didn’t know about the call for availability issue lately. Your 2 Chanel bags are DIVINE🥰❣️
Jerusha, it's too bad that you have to explain your changing style and tastes. I find it a bit silly that viewers feel they have the right to criticize everyone on YT! What if we all held a mirror to ourselves and every action was scrutinized by virtual strangers?! Anyway I totally support whatever you do/buy/rant about because you are you! It's the reason I subscribed to you, you're always honest and unapologetic about your life choices and I wish I had the ovaries to combat all that negativity! People need to take a chill pill and realize we only see a tiny snippet of your life that you so graciously allow us all to see. I love that you have evolved and we can follow that journey, after all, if you're not evolving, what the hell is the point of life? Love you girl. You do you. Love from Indiana.xxxxx
Well said Jerusha. I totally agree with you about Louis Vuitton. Hate the new stuff. Looks cheap and nasty. They should stick with the classics and what they do best.
People need to realize that we as humans change our minds and then we come back.. I dont get why people have to put influencers in a certain box and feel like they have the right to tell people what they should and shouldn't like.. just keep doing you live... you're an inspiration and a wealth of information and seeing you happy with your unboxing and purchases is what people should focus on.. xoxo from Canada
Most dairy farms in Queensland have closed as they have become financially unviable,thank you Woolworths, not.
Bob FromBrisbane agree the $1 milk thing was horrific, fellow Australians would’ve been fine with paying $4 for a litre of milk
I completely agree with you Jerusha!!! I too have been gravitating toward Chanel lately and there is nothing wrong with that! Our tastes evolve and change and that’s ok!!
Hey Jerusha !!!! Lots of love from Trinidad ☺️❤️❤️❤️🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
Love your vlogs!! Your kids are adorable. You have s beautiful handbag collection. I agree with you about LV and the availability of canvas pieces and items in general. It seems like every time a new bag comes out, it is hard to obtain. I prefer the older styles more lately, better quality in my opinion. I only have one channel bag, the GST. Love it.
I remember watching your videos when Masai was so little and now he’s growing up into a little man! It’s so cute!
Hey I’m first never happened before. I have loved LV but I’m not a fan of many of the latest designs. I love the canvas pieces more than the leather pieces and they fit more in my budget. I tend to buy mostly pre-owned now as the new range doesn’t interest me. I love the quality of the vintage canvas pieces over anything being manufactured now.
Karen Ellis agree I only buy preowned LV, the quality issues with new items are just too problematic, I think the introduction of empreinte leather was the last time LV had me interested
Your mother's sweater is so nice! Love it... you both are so stylish :) I definitely go through phases in brands as well ... I'm getting into chanel now.. but only reissues.. I don't care for CCs everywhere same with LV and branding in general... it is all trendy 2 me.. but it may change. I am loving LV though.. so 2 each their own!
Can you do a what I sold and why?!? 🤗💜
i dont understand why people would say they cant relate with you anymore because they cant buy chanel. i personally dont have a chanel bag (but it will happen for sure) and shop a lot of saint laurent cause i love the vibe but i still love watching your videos and enjoy your beautiful collection cause it doesnt matter wich label you shop if anything at all right? ;)
Love your Chanel pieces, Jerusha
Jerusha, I do completely understand what you are saying; because my mother’s LV from the 70’s and 80’s canvas are much stronger and durable. In addition, I’ve watched you for nearly a decade, and we grow, change, and mature.
I’m trying to convince hubby to buy me my first Chanel handbag, lets just say, I will buy myself one😆
Thanks for your informative videos about luxury brands
It’s nothing wrong with elevating your taste especially when it comes to luxury brands. You shouldn’t have to define to one brand and if you do that’s a personal choice. You shouldn’t have to apologize or feel bad for being you and for showing the elevated you. I love what ever you put out. You are awesome can cater to many different types of people🥰. Continue to be you unapologetically and if they don’t like it oh well. Maybe in that department your videos don’t serve them any longer. Don’t stop putting out what makes you happy to please someone else.🧡
I dislike Louis Vuitton because the quality has changed. I used to buy their products in undergrad almost 20 years ago and it’s like night and day. I also take umbrage with their lacking customer support!
Edit: Who emails you about Louis Vuitton!?! People have too much time on their hands.
Does the seasonal strap squeak? Just curious. I go thru cycles too with what I'm loving and the shapes I'm into. It's weird for someone to be upset about you getting Chanel just because they can't afford it. Like, why? I don't get that. Be here to just admire and celebrate luxury stuff or just go elsewhere. It's OK to be happy for others when they're excited about something...
My "luxury" bags are from Dooney & Bourke, but I still love watching Hermes, Chanel, LV, and lots of other unboxings. It's fun to see others happy about handbags. Any handbags.
You hit on some really good points and you can spend your money on whatever you want- it’s your money, period. Love your channel. A tote comparison video would be great!
I can’t relate to the bags you buy
anymore and I don’t watch those hauls or videos! But I have been following you for years and I still love to watch your vlogs! It’s not even that I can’t afford Chanel because I can and could even afford Hermès with a little planning. I just don’t ever see myself spending more than a certain amount on a bag. Regardless I love your videos! ❤️
Just to follow up on my comment as well, I also think that the customer service has gone downhill quite a bit you cannot ever get a hold of anybody in the store when they put in a request to have them call you for a purchase and I think that’s not right. They’ve lost out on multiple sales from me because of that.
I agree with you, it’s impossible to find certain items in store or online, it’s so strange
Chanel mini twinzies! Although I’m still keeping the clear sticker on the CC...until it gets too dirty lol! Loving your current collection by the way! In regards to LV vs Chanel, I agree 110%! Chanel is currently a better “investment” IMO!
Jerusha, that chanel pink camera bag is so tempting 😋.. My first designer bag is LV too but now im straying towards YSL and slowly building chanel.. Surely, there is nothing wrong with changing your preferences, If i had not had weird attachment with my bags, I would have sell few pieces too😅..love yaa
Hi. Did you sell you LV Capucines? 😊
darling please tell me how much you pay for the postage shipping and tax when you sell your item to fashiophile please please. iam also in sydeny and want to sell my favourite mm to fashionphile.thank you
Like you said Jerusha, as we walk through life or taste change a evolve. I just love the fashion of it all!
My last LV buy was the mini pochette in 2016. The hardwares tarnished and it got fixed and it tarnished again and they won't fix it anymore. And I thought I would not buy any of their product. I fell it should not tarnish considering the cost of it. I am still using my pieces though.
Just for info fresh milk freezes really well. I always freeze milk, buy it in bulk and that way we never run out x
Love you Jerusha. I'm glad you loving Chanel. I'm praying for you to get more financially bountiful and start all Hermes journey. Plus, I just bought a LOUIS VUITTON Pochette Metis. Because you inspire me! Love from Singapore. 😍🥰😘
I agree with you about the LV designer; I don't really care for what he has been creating the brand hasn't really vibed with me since he became the lead designer...and it's ridiculous to try to force consumers onto their leather goods when they are known for canvas. Just accept it you are loved for your canvas don't try and force something that isn't going to happen 🤷
Totally agree with u babe! MJ made one of the best collections for LV. I still keep and continue to collect his LV collection. Those graffiti really glows in the dark too!
Babe , loved this video and I think the whole persona of luxe is living just one brand but that’s not the case. We all get older and our tastes change, our lifestyles change, I personally love seeing other luxe enthusiasts change and grow in the luxe world.... I feel the same with LV babe , love love your collection always have 😍❣️😘😘😘😘
I agree I luv MJ he can do no wrong in my book and LV def needs him back
I only bought Louis Vuitton for many years and I found as time went on quality decreased, and the price increased, and all their good basic designs like the Eva and the Favourite, or even the Delightful have been discontinued and they added all these fancier leather bags which are almost the price as some Chanels
whats is the name/style/leather/colour is your black boy bag??
I have 2 Louis Vuitton bags and a key holder, and those were purchased over the last 10 years and when I can afford another luxury item I will get i. I love your videos I have been watching I feel like the last 10 years or since the very beginning of you making videos and it does not matter to me if you change up brands, I just wish I could afford those, and live vicariously through you until I can. You have great taste in everything I see you with in my opinion.
The nude camera bag looks lovely
You are so right about the LV canvas!!! I still have the old canvas and I love it! Can’t handle the new feel. So kinda on hold now, although got a beautiful wallet on the resale market. Waiting for it to arrive:) but I can’t relate to new stuff :(
