♡ About me
Hi everyone! I'm Jane. I do videos on fashion (pairings, lookbooks, reviews, hauls), luxury and shopping mindfulness. I love creating looks that are feminine and classic (with a twist). Fashion is art that you can wear. Often, what you wear and how you present yourself to the world can give you the confidence to be your best self. That is what fashion helps me achieve, and I hope it can achieve the same for you.

This is the first time I saw your video and I love watching it. No frills, straight to the point, and no ounce of drama. Thank you. Keep making videos like this. 🙌
Thank you!! ❤
None of my friends and family could tell if it was genuine or fake. It ended up saving me a ton of money! But I am very satisfied with the high quality and great service I purchased *preluxs* .
Grateful for another Hermès videos! Your demonstration and comparison is really clear and easy for understanding! Gain a lot from your soothing voice!
Yay!! Happy to help! 😘 Thanks for watching! 💕
I really enjoyed this comparison review, especially with the added category of practicality! Thank you
Yay! Happy you found it helpful! ☺️
The best review/comparison for these bags IMO. Thank you so much 😘
Yay!!! 🧡🧡☺️
Thank you so much for including the weight of the bags as well as the top handle measurements!!! Those were extremely helpful! 😊
🙌🏻🙌🏻 glad it helped!! 💛
Great comparison and review for these timeless bags💕The colour of your Kelly is absolutely beautiful!
Hehe thank you!!
Thanks for your review! Love them both… I finally got them❤❤
Your comparison analysis is spot on, very detailed. 💖✨Thanks for sharing
Thank you!! 💛☺️
Slightly obsessed with that Bleu Nuit color. It’s gorgeous!!! 💙 Thank you for the video, I’ve been going between these two and I think I’ve final come to a decision.
Thank you! Glad the video was helpful 💛
Wow I really enjoyed this video! Great comparison 😊 I never thought I’d like an orange bag but your orange Kelly is stunning !
Thanks Maria!! 😘😘
Your videos are so informative and short and pleasant to watch!
Yay! Thank you! 🥰
I’m so glad you started your preference! The amount of RUclipsrs who don’t decide is mind boggling.
😂
I’ve always thought Birkin is slightly more flashy than Kelly, not only because it’s well known but also the way we carry it on the crook of our arms in front of our bodies makes it even more in your face. I always thought it’s just me but glad to hear it from you too. ❤️❤️
YESS that is a great point about the way you hold the bag too! I feel the same! 🙌🏻
The Kelly is more classic
Just came across your videos and love all of them! Very honest and helpful content, thank you. Already subscribed ;)
Aw thanks love! Happy you’re here!! 💕💕💕😍
Great review !! I love your voice it’s so soothing
Thank you!! 🥺💕
The color of the Kelly is really beautiful 😍
Thank you!! 🥰
Yay great video. I am lucky enough to own a B30, K 25 and C18. Hands down kelly girl for me too! Also agree C18 is such a practical bag, it’s probably my most used.
Your blue nuit with GHW is simply stunning!!
Thanks Sarah! 😄💕 What a lovely collection! I was debating between B30 and B25 :). Yesss love my C18 too 🙌🏻🙌🏻 I think I would use it even more if it wasn’t white 😅
Amazing video thank you so much and you even put the soundtrack you are awesome xx
Thanks for watching!!💕💕
Gosh ! Your Kelly gets me every time !! I love it 😻😻 my dream color !!
Hehe yay apricot! 😄🙌🏻🙌🏻🧡
“Togo is amazeballs” literally killed me 😂😂. This is a fantastic video, I so enjoyed it!
Hahah thanks girl!! 😉
Wow, that blue nuit with GHW is stunning!!! Defninitely a combination that I'd keep in mind when purchasing another Hermès bag in the future!
I don't own a Birkin and not planning on buying one so def TeamKelly here! The mini Kelly II in chèvre Mysore leather has been on my wish list for a while now but, because of your video, I'll have to add the K25 sellier in box leather (I have a vintage K32 retourne in box leather)!
Thank you for such a great comparison video! Just subscribed to your channel!
Woot! #teamkelly 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙃 mini Kelly in chevre sounds dreamy 😍
she's so proud of the bags
Thank You for the comparisons. Very helpful.
☺️
Tqvm for this very interesting and honest review of 2 very sought after bags. As you say, both bags are not very practical. With such high price points Hermes has indeed done a very good job of marketing these bags...!!
Thank you. I am petite and you gave valuable information. 😊 I have subscribed.
Excellent comparison video!
Thank you! ☺️
Your video is easy to listen to and informative. Love your top, btw. I love sellier bags in epsom (Birkin or Kelly) because of their structured look, and that epsom is lighter than other leathers. As far as togo, I like the slight vertical veining and this feature is difficult to replicate by copiers.
Thanks Heidi! ☺️ Yas love structured bags! 🙌🏻 Good point about the veining being harder to replicate 😮 I never thought of it that way!
Thanks for your informative video. I love your bags on you! I always thought that I would own either a Birkin or a Kelly one day too in size 25. I do feel this size is too big for me after watching your video. I am a retired teacher so don't need to carry much around now. I think the mini Kelly is cute but not sure how practical it is because you have to leave it open. I much prefer the Picotin Lock 18, Mini Lindy and Mini Bolide.
I love the color of the Kelly 🧡
Great video!
Oh no... what do i do? I actually love both now... 😆😅 TFS jane! Excellent video
Hahahaha Lokie 😂
Love the reviews! On the hunt for my first Hermes bag and it's so hard to decide for such a big investment! Thanks
Really really helpful. Thanks a lot!
Glad you found it helpful!! 😄
Hi! Thank you for posting this comparative video. I don't own a Hermes bag yet but my heart is very much leaning towards the Kelly 25 retourné, possibly in a bright color (nata, jaune poussin or gold). I'll attempt to get one in Paris soon x
Oooo those are dreamy combos!! Good luck! 😍
great video ❤ thank you
Helpful!!! I chose Kelly
I keep coming back to your Kelly lol Where is your top from ??
I have a grey B25, even I m over 5'7 but it still look good on me. So probably the whole look with the bag may be affected on the width of each individual rather than the hight. Especially for the width of shoulder.
Yup agreed, width will definitely affect the proportions of the bag as well. Good point on the shoulder 🙂
Wonderful! ♥️
Great video - best comparison I've seen. Which make me want your opinion on another combo - K25 retourne togo? What do you think, maybe best of both worlds?
Haha perhaps!! 😄 I think it may be the most functional but maybe lacking that structure :)
Really good review
Thanks! 🧡☺️
Great review! I personally prefer the Togo leather (and also tend to shy away from attention)...that would be my con with any Hermes bags...I suppose I must first get one (if I can put in the require effort)!
Hahaha can’t go wrong with Togo :)
kelly 25 i love so much
team Kelly. great video
😃🙌🏻
I really like the top that you’re wearing in this video! Where did you get it? Thanks!
It’s from 3.1 Phillip Lim! :)
I really like the way you talk ☺️
Thank you! 🥰
Great video! Do the sangles scratch the bag when you leave them hanging?
Nope they shouldn’t! :)
Hi Jane I would love to see your jewelry collection ? Thank you
Noted! :)
Thanks 👍
Thanks for putting together this video! It is very helpful! I had a question…what kind of bag hook is the one in the video and where can I find it? Thanks!
The bag hook is from Carrie Atelier! I linked it in the description box below :)
@@janeshappyplace3687 Thank you!!
Amazing bag colors and hardware!!! 💗 Love your honest Pro's and Con's; Music and lighting are great. I have been wanting to get a Kelly 25 vs 28(?) but hesitated because of the opening of the bag. The Birkin is amazing. I own a 42 JPG in Gold with GHW. Love it, BUT I get a lot of attention and I hate having to carry it on my forearm. It gets HEAVY! I don't like the attention and often feel I am a target. 😣 The black spots are strange. I do know Epsom can attract and hold particles more easily than the other leathers. I haven't looked closely at the Constance but will check out your other videos. I have a few Evelyne bags that work great but I like more soft, though structured bags these days. New to your channel, but love your work!
Haha thank you! 😀 Agree with the soft but structured bags 😊
What is the brand of the table bag holder ? It’s nice :)
It is Carrie Atelier! :)
I want the exact opposite of your bags. I want a Kelley 25 in Togo Retourne and a Birkin 25 in Epsom Sellier 😍👜✨
Great video. None of these Cons apply to me thankfully cause I have the K32 (vintage box sellier) and the B35, Clemence so it seems if you get a bigger bag of each many issues wont exist
Your bags sound yummy 😍, good point!
@@janeshappyplace3687 :) and lastly, thanks for diving right in to the points. It drives me crazy when ppl just ramble on and on about silly details no one cares about. 😆
@@jennifers-w2590 🤣 I feel you girl. Unfortunately even if I wanted to ramble I do not know how to 😅
Omg I love ur kelly 😍
:D thank you!! 💛
So classy
The bag hook is a perfect gift. How can I buy this?
Check out Carrie Atelier! It’s linked in the description :)
Hi there! Loved your video. Thanks for sharing. :) Do you by chance use an insert in either of your bags?
Thank you! :) I use the 7rp for my birkin ☺️
@@janeshappyplace3687 Good to know! I just got my first B25 in Paris and want to make sure it's properly protected. lol. ;) Thanks again!
Sorry but can I ask you one more question about the Carrie bag hook? It looks gorgeous, but is it heavy? After seeing your video, I totally want to get it but don't want to add too much weight to my bag. Thanks!
@@HJ60123 congrats on your B!! :) The Carrie is heavy enough to feel substantial and good quality but doesn’t weigh like a brick or anything haha
@@janeshappyplace3687 Omg! Hilarious. Love how you said weigh like a brick. Thanks for the reply! :)
Hi! Can I know what is the colour of your Birkin? It is stunning!
It’s Blue Nuit! :)
Both are beautiful
😃🙌🏻
Very helpful video! Do you have an IG to follow as well with these recommendations/daily fashion? Also do you make recommendations for men's fashion as well?
Hey Matt! Thank you! 😄 I do have a personal Instagram but don’t update it too much. Maybe later on! 🙂 Haha I don’t think I’m qualified to talk about men’s fashion unfortunately 😅, if it were up to me all men would just wear suits and dress shirts 🤣 I am very biased hahahah
Even if you can opine on men’s wear from Hermes as an example would be helpful. I’m actually trying to work towards a Birkin for the SO, so accumulating stuff on the way there.
@@myw002 noted!
Thanks for the video! I decided that I’ll buy Chanel not Hermes :) it’s awful: one bag is heavy when even empty, the other u can hardly put your arm inside. So uncomfortable, how can they cost so much. Thanks for sharing!
Haha yeah they’re not the most practical bags 😅 but I guess the heart wants what it wants 🙈
@@janeshappyplace3687 😀
Lol, i agree that neither are practical. They are our extra babies. I have a k32 in clemence and the soft leather is really easy to use. I previously considered a k25 but i do feel that it will be way too small now.
I'm looking for a b25 next. I intend on attaching a strap to the sangles and only using it by the strap when I'm desperate 💕💕
“Extra” babies indeed 😅. Yum K32 in clemence 💕 sounds functional and nice and smooshy :). Oo the strap on the sangles is a good idea but I worry about the sangles getting deformed :/
@@janeshappyplace3687 yeah I plan to use the strap only when I need it but to carry mostly with top handles still.
I was also thinking that worse case scenario, Hermes could replace the sangles right?
@@DaniOchannel Yeah that could work 😀
Where is your sweater from?
It’s from Phillip lim! :)
Birkin
hi where did you buy the hook?
Carrie atelier! :)
@@janeshappyplace3687 thanks. yout video is really helpful. im thinking to buy a birkin 25 but not sure how much i have to spend to be offered a birkin
love kelly 25 more...
😄🙌🏻🙌🏻
Do you have a picotin? My concern about gettibg a picotin is that I'll like it more than the Birkin 😂
Hahahaha that is an interesting dilemma 😂. I don’t have a picotin but they’re cute! Hey, if you end up liking it more than the birkin then I don’t think your wallet will be mad about that 😉😏
@@janeshappyplace3687 true, wait a few years, then resell the birkin.
K25 is better to choose slouchy leather, k28 is better with rigid leather
What’s your height for reference? Xx
I’m 5’4!
Team Birkin anytime. Biggest reason, closing a Kelly bag is a hassle, but in Birkin u just have to put the things in and that's it
Agreed! Birkin are definitely a lot easier to get into 🙂
well, i mean, if i had the money, i would probably buy it too, but i dont have the money 😭
Definitively team k, but I won't say no if Someone gives me a Birkin 😂
I think they're both impractical and I will save my dollars for something better.
Haha I agree with you. That’s probably smart, but they’re so beautifully impractical 🥲
Great review. Not really sure why anyone pays 10K or more for a bag with cons. No shoulder strap/ strap not adjustable, heavy, hard to get into etc. Also these days a security risk. The more I watch Hermes reviews, the more sure I am, that I'll never buy these particular bags. There's a lot of quality bags out there, that are actually functional. I do get that these are good quality and classics, but no. They are pretty, though :)
What would you buy?
@@xyz-pg3zd As it is now, I think I have enough bags for the rest of my life lol. Just one vintage high end, the rest are Coach, Minkoff and Ralph Lauren. All great quality, and no need to baby them :)
@@kateanette9398 what’s the vintage high end that you have?
@@xyz-pg3zd Vuitton Alston shoulder bag, from 2002 :)
People keep saying they buy luxury for quality, originality and tradition. But really, isn't 90% for the hype and prestige and ego? Not as good as the $200 premium knockoffs H Q D U P S Great quality and price
I know people personally who have so much genuine luxury brands yet they live in their mama house. I own my own home, drive a lexus and i do buy real mid luxury bags but anything over $1000 im getting a
H Q D U P S replica and keeping money in my pocket.
You must be really rich.
Ridiculous for that price they can’t do adjustable strap???!!! Definitely daylight robbery but I’ll leave it to you rich people my intelligence doesn’t agree with this girl math 😅
Why have you stopped posting videos I love your reviews 🥲
Thank you! 🥺❤ Life is kinda hectic right now but maybe in the future!
