Should we make this a tag video? 🏷️ Sometimes it’s the materials, sometimes it’s the way it makes me feel and sometimes…it’s the name ♥️ No one reason is better than the other because ultimately if it’s worth it to you because of x, y & z, that’s all that matters! 🙌
My husband’s coworker showed off her new goyard bag to him. He doesn’t know anything luxury. So he looked at her and said, “why are you carrying a plastic bag?” She got soooo offended and told him that it’s expensive bag. He then said, “you should go get your $ back.” She was even more offended. 😆
😊 thank you for your clear word about Goyard...exactly my thought - even more so after I saw some Goyard bags in person! And thank you for the truth about the Loewe basket bag...every spring/summer, I am tempted to buy one, but I think I will stick to my super cute personalized basket bag from Etsy for a fraction of the price!
Melinda, it's nice to hear from you. These past three years have been very "👁 opening. " My perspective: if it exceeds my monthly expenses, the bag is not worth it. If it doesn't make my heart soar anymore, it has to go.
I may be generalizing, but subscribers, myself included love bags, it's an addiction. There will always be a bag that I want. I have sold so many became there's not enough room or days to wear multiple bags. I am keeping my favorite luxury because the prices aren't justified if I were to replace my favorites 🙂. Thank you for being the unpopular opinion. Goyard looks counterfeit in person to me!😮😮😮😮yep! I said it!!!!
Hehe, I can see why you would think that about Goyard tbh!!♥️ I couldn’t agree more, I love bags too, but this topic definitely gave me food for thought. 🥰🥰🩷
Love this and we don’t talk about the downsides or negatives of some of our luxury purchases. Yes we all have different opinions and jus because you don’t like a certain bag from a brand doesn’t mean you don’t like the brand overall. Very insightful ☺️
Hi Minnie, yes you are right, we all look at things differently. Personally, if I can afford it and love it, it is worth to me and my wardrobe, example: my Chanel classic flaps, minis and other ones I own. They are worth to me because they make my heart sing, and because I love to wear them 😂. Just like many others, that love luxury cars and they buy them because how it makes them feel, others that loves expensive watches or ppl that collect sport paraphernalia and are willing to pay just anything to get some items 😂
Minnie just said the inside parts out loud and I am here for it! No lies told 😂 just straight facts. I love Loewe but cannot for the life of me understand paying what they are asking for any of the raffia or palm bags. I look at them and then just can’t. I agree with everything you said for all the bags. I am also waiting for the day you declare that you will not buy anymore Chanel vanity style bags ⏳
Haha! 😂 Thanks Babe! ♥️ As for the vanity obsession I seem to have, I promised myself no more after the yellow one, I hate that one too and I FINALLY learned! 🤣♥️
I think this is a great video. It’s nice to know if someone who owns these bags, feels like they are worth it. I might have to piggy back on this video and let people know which bags in my collection I don’t feel like are worth it.
I couldn’t agree with you more on the items in this video. The Goyard tote has always looked cheap and plastic to me. You’re paying for the name obviously like you would with the other brands but for that price point I rather go with a LV bag.
Minnie! I just received my Gucci Ophidia in the beige & white color way today and your video helped me bunches! I just bought the Chanel mini lambskin a few months ago and agree, it’s kind of overhyped. I did pay extra for a personal shopper but one is enough in my closet. I feel pretty when wearing but I wouldn’t repurchase *especially* at the current prices.
I purchased my Jumbo 1 week after you. I remember your unboxing you were out of breath with excitement. I agree. I wouldn't buy it new. I love mine too.
One of the most nerve-wracking purchases I have ever made and I wouldn’t change a thing. 🙌 So happy to hear you love yours too, it’s an amazing piece! ♥️🥰
Minnie, I agree with everything you said. I love Chanel, but can’t justify the current prices. I’m definitely pickier about what bags I choose to purchase based on price increases across most or all fashion houses.
I have multiple goyard GM totes and wear them almost daily. Airport. School. Work. Overnight bag. I was actually thinking about purchasing the green in Paris this winter. Funny how what is so functional for one person isnt for another.
You said nothing untrue! Great video. I’m in agreement - no bag is worth 5 figures. A bag can also only be an “investment” if you’re willing to sell it. Most of us aren’t buying bags and locking them away, ready for the moment it’s right to sell. Especially at these price points. Goyard… don’t get me started. 😂
After watching Tanner Leatherstein, my view of certain luxury bags have changed..😮 i kinda knew in the back of my mind, but seeing him tearing them apart and seeing the ACTUAL quality (or lack thereof) has made me a hell of lot more hesitant on giving up my hard earned.. money.
Totally agreed with u. There are many bags out there with much better quality than those high brand yet without breaking a bank. Is functional yet durable n price reasonable for the quality we pay for althgh their brands are not as loud as Chanel.....LV.....etc. Tks for sharing yr thoughts. Love it....😋
Thank you for talking about this topic! So true about the basket bags! I do prefer Chanel vintage flap as the quality is really good but then I am partial to the 90s Chanel era. The most overpriced bag for me was LV Multipochette Accessories as I thought of two badly crafted SLGs thrown together. Ironically, it is my most used bag in variety of ways. Currently, I am using my MPA strap with Neonoe which is my work bag. More than the material, we are paying for the idea of ‘luxury’.
Very well said! I strongly think vintage Chanel bags have way better quality than what’s out right now, especially when you see that many of them are standing the test of time. So interesting that your MPA has been one of your most used bags even though you thought differently about it initially. 😍 Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on this topic! ♥️
I agree with everything you've said. I have given my unpopular opinion about straw bags and people gasp. A straw bag is a casual, throw your vegetables or wet bathing suit in the summer, and go. It is a natural biodegradable fabric that will fall apart the more you use it, that's just a fact, so paying over $20 for one is nonsensical. And don't get me started on Goyard quality, the canvas pattern rubs off, the canvas cracks and rips, the leather cracks and threads start poking out. I don't get why people complain about LV quality and somehow give Goyard a pass. Is it because it's not as popular so people don't see the defects or expect as much from the brand? Who knows.
Re: brands getting a pass, I know exactly what you mean. I could be completely wrong but it seems there are a couple houses that get a “pass”from some people because they’re so prestigious that saying anything against their quality is taboo and the possibility is beyond impossible. 😅♥️ Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on this topic Love!
I bought my LV Carry All in 1990. It is a 45 which is perfect for me to use on wonderful get aways by car for a few days. Enjoyed your video. You are right in saying bags mean a variety things to people who buy them. I love quality and buy a bag to keep because to me, it is attractive.
Watching with hubby, a few minutes in he said "I love Minnie, she's saying all the same things I say." and he's right! A lot of the time it's just the name that carries the price tag. 🙌🏼 Doesn't stop me from buying though! 😉💕
Spot on as usual Minnie! GoYard, nopeeeee, I just never thought it looked better than the $1.99 shopping bags at TJ Maxx…. Chanel is ridiculous at this point and the quality lately is scary…. I have my medium classic flap, black/gold, and absolutely love it! I had wanted a black/silver jumbo, but I can absolutely live without it and at the current prices, I will. Another great video, definitely tag it!
Amen Sistah! I am with you! However, my eyes still brimmed with unmitigated envy, looking at your Chanel Jumbo!-maybe not over $10,000 worth, though! 😉😂❤👜
Totally agree, not every luxury bag or brand is worth it. And the same bag certainly fits everyone differently. Nice to hear your thoughts on these! xoxoxo
Go for it Love! ♥️ I’m officially tagging you! 🥰Just remember tho, while I don’t think they warrant their current price points because of the reasons given, they are still bags I love and enjoy ♥️
I agree w you 100% on the 5 bags. Omg they are so expensive and impractical!! I'm surprised you bought 3 of the Loewe straw bag!! That Goyard bag is a complete waste of $$ - expensive for a beach bag!!. Thanks for being honest!
I am thankful I was able to get both of my Chanel Medium Flaps (ultimate dream bags, one red caviar and one black) I want to say two price increases ago? (I paid less than 9k for each.) I'm with you, I can't imagine paying over 10k for a bag - I have my limits; especially with how infrequently I use them. I don't see them necessarily as an investment but I do see them as a cash equivalent because they do - at bare minimum- hold their value if they are maintained and I could rather quickly dispense with them on any number of resale websites. As wild as it sounds, once I was able to get those bags, I achieved "purse peace" the only other bag I've purchases since then was the Coach Cherry Tabby (which I use wayyyyyy more than the Chanel bags). I'm content with my little collection and am glad I purchased when I did because I definitely would not now! Aside from my other two Chanels (a woc & a mini classic from 2017) I have a handful of LV all purchased for under 2k and then some contemporary bags from Coach & Kate Spade. We all know the contemporary bags become virtually worthless as far as resale goes (you'll be lucky to get 25% of what you paid if you actually paid full price), but the LV should carry their value or be worth far more than I paid.
I've just bought the Chanel Jumbo preloved -- I love the size as a shoulder bag (it's very slimming!). I want this one forever now I have it. I agree financially with you, but who knows the future as Chanel are on the road to more steep increases where only certain customers will be able to afford them.
I agree with you on all points. The Goyard looks like it should be sold for less than half of its retail price. However, the tote looks awesome in ceetain colors such as red and green
Totally agree about the Chanel. I love my bags but I would never pay those prices for a bag. It’s ridiculous and they get away with it because people still pay. If they didn’t the prices would drop. I buy my bags to wear but also so my children can sell them one day when I’m gone ☺️🥰 Twinning with the side trunk ❤️❤️
I had been wanting the Goyard tote for a long time but recently bought a Moreau St. Tropez tote and the quality is beyond that of Goyard for Half the price. Would totally recommend it over the Goyard
I love my chanel jumbo! I purchased it 2/2022 for $9,500. I always wanted one, a new one. I have a WOC, 2.55 224 reissue, and a medium CF all prior to 2014. I wanted a jumbo to complete it and find it soooo useful and I love it as my mom bag to carry my stuff plus hers. Now, that being said I wouldn’t buy another. I also don’t know if I didn’t have it, idk if I would still buy it on the current price. I’m not sure lol. I do love it. I might 😂. I want a goyard artois MM but I’ve been on the fence for a year. I don’t have goyard at all. I want to have it as a mommy/ toddler diaper bag but idk if it’ll hold up. Lol. I have a chanel deauville in beige BUT im so careful with it cos of the color after my daughter got spaghetti sauce on it (I got it out- phew 😂). Since then I’ve been looking for a luxury tote that isn’t too crazy expensive. I was looking at the neverfull too but I had one in 2008 and sold it and now can’t bring myself to buy another at the current price point- but there really isn’t any other bag like it… that hard wearing, long lasting, etc
And I agree with you I don’t think handbags are investments either I mean you can make most of your money back from some handbags. But it’s not investment. It shouldn’t be looked at someone either.
Totally agree with Goyard. With due respect I think the Saint Louis looks flimsy, and has very little aesthetic appeal. But other Goyard bags that are more structured are beautiful!
Couldn’t agree more! I will never forget the moment I went to go look at the La Medusa bag and was told the gold chain was plastic…my jaw hit the floor!
Love love love ❤️ this video, Minnie. You make some excellent points. And I agree 💯 that the Chanel jumbo (or any classic flap) is now ridiculously overpriced. The Jumbo was my dream bag, and I thought I’d be getting it for my 40th birthday, but I changed my mind. I have the Chanel WOC and while I love it, I don’t think Chanel’s quality warrants it’s current prices. On the other hand, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by Gucci recently - their designs and their prices in the past year, so I’ve shifted my focus to them. I do think that Gucci’s leather is phenomenal and I don’t mind paying for that.
Love these kinds of videos! I totally agree with the keepall! The 45 is a mission to carry whn running from one gate to another so I can only imagine the 55 😮
This was a fun video. I have to agree with you on all of your choices. I think for me all though I love this bag to death and it was my 1st LV bag and I’ll never get rid of it the neverfull is not worth 2000. It’s canvas not leather not a lot of organization. It’s a big piece of canvas for 2000 not worth the price point. Just my opinion, but I do love the bag just not for that price.
I may be in the minority but I do travel with my LV luggage. I use them as carry-ons on flights and I put them in the trunk of my car. They’re luggage, so I expect that they will get wear and tear. I’m not rich either and don’t have a ton of luxury bags but I don’t really see the point in buying luxury luggage if you’re not going to use it. But that being said, my LV Keepall bandolier is my least favorite piece of luggage because the opening is not the easiest.
Facts Chanel but you have people that really believe that they’re gonna get what they pay for it now that’s crazy. And I’ve seen cases where people try to get what they pay for it. Why would a person pay you what you paid for it when they could just go buy it out of the store themselves and get it brand new. It makes no sense but they have convinced people of this and that’s why you see a lot of them on the market now because they’re just sitting there they’re not getting purchased because nobody’s going to pay you full price for a used bag I don’t care what the condition is it still used
I agree with everything and I have some of these bags. Designer Straw bags are always been appreciated from afar from me. The Keepall is absolutely not an airport bag. I have the 50 and wouldn’t imagine walking an entire terminal with it. The Goyard! Yes!!! I’ve got many people coming at me because I said this is absolutely not the bag to replace your Neverfull for. It’s NOT as sturdy at all, it will break. Bags over 10k, I’m guilty of it ( Hermès) and I know it’s not rational and I shouldn’t pay that much. Sometimes our love for handbags takes the best out of us.😂 The Chanel CF will remain one of my favorite bag in the world, it’s my only reason to own 2. Ha ha I would buy it again at today’s price. But. Yes it’s too pricey.
Well people can come for me too because I also don’t think the Goyard St. Louis is the bag to replace the Neverfull! ♥️ Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on this issue topic Love! 🥰
I know what you mean about the jumbo. That was my first Chanel and I bought it because of yours videos like 5 years ago or more (not your fault at all!! 🙏🏻) . I realized that was too big for me and and sold it for less . I’m saving to buy the black medium. But yes. I think medium is the best size but probably I will go for a preloved one this time.
Interesting video, I would put that Goyard bag at number one. It looks cheap, isn’t particularly attractive, and doesn’t look like it would be worth more than $20, so the fact that it’s almost $2000 with tax is crazy to me😱
Love your honesty and prospective on this video. I only have one Chanel bag, the Trendy CC, and I still cannot believe I own that bag. Chanel prices are just too much for my lifestyle. I still want to get a Chanel Shopping Tote from the preloved market but no any time soon. I also love the look of straw bags, but refused to pay more than $90 for it 😅😂😊I get my fix from Target it TJMax every other year or so. 😢 to hear your comments about the Goyard tote but completely understand and I think deep down my thoughts are exactly the same and that is way I cannot get myself to get that bag.
Luxury bags are not a practical choice in terms of money spent. It is an indulgence. For sure any bag over 1 K cannot be justified. A basket bag is a great example. Great video. The Chanel and Hermès bags are a perfect example and so are any SLGs
What you said is so true!. Half the time with brands 9x/10 you are paying for the name of the brand. Case in point the Loewe palm bag, you are paying for the name.
I liked your video, and I agree with most of things you said great topic and everything you said about the Chanel bags you were spot on. And that bag was beautiful so don’t sell it.
Omg 2 things. The basket bag, I could never justify that price, I rather get a custom basket bag on etsy. Second, the keepall! I agree, I bought mine pre loved and it was in amazing condition I mean it looked new and let me tell you, after my first trip with it I got a stain on the vecheta. So yes I'm glad I didn't spend the full price!
I just ordered a navy blue for that mini vanity, cost me 3K with tax included, I had to return today because it is not worth it at all, weird trendy shape, definitely a fun bag, not classy so won’t worth it !!!!!
Great video! What are your thoughts on the new monoglam from LV? The blue Métis EW is calling my name but I’m trying to downsize as is so I’m torn. Would love to hear your insight!
You nailed it like always Minnie! I definitely don’t think the Goyard bags are worth the price. It’s definitely a bag that I can enjoy from a far, I love the colors but not the price. I love my Chanel jumbo and I have used it to death but I agree with you, I wouldn’t pay over 10k for it. I bought it like 4 years ago preloved for 4k and I think that’s a reasonable price to pay for such beauty. Like always thank you for sharing your thoughts. ❤
Ok now you know our next question is what other fashion houses has better quality than Chanel. I agree with you on the Chanel. I’d never pay full price it would be preloved. SLG I’m very particular and like Chanel. A good perspective as always.
Great video! This video is very informative. Also, thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts on the quality, functionality, and lackluster look of the St. Louis Goyard tote. I agree that the tote looks cheap and feels flimsy. I’m not very impressed with the products from that brand given the price point. “There is nothing about it that screams a $2k bag.” Also, I complete agree with your assessment of the Chanel jumbo and the Louis Vuitton travel luggage. I agree that no bag is worth $10k, including Hermes, Chanel, or Louis Vuitton bags!
I have had Chanel, LV, Gucci and found that there are so many bags that are well made and beautiful w/0 breaking the bank. It is all about status. What happens when it gets caught in the rain?
Lol...as I own the exact same basket bag from Loewe & I agree with you 100%. In fact, I hesitated for yrs before I finally decided to purchase it for all of the reasons that you mentioned. However, just like you, I absolutely love my basket bag & I still have to stop myself from getting more!!😂
Should we make this a tag video? 🏷️ Sometimes it’s the materials, sometimes it’s the way it makes me feel and sometimes…it’s the name ♥️ No one reason is better than the other because ultimately if it’s worth it to you because of x, y & z, that’s all that matters! 🙌
Yes!!! Make it a tag! 💕☺️
What is the pink bag on the shelf .. I love that bag @minks4All
Yes. Tag it! Curious on the opinions…
My husband’s coworker showed off her new goyard bag to him. He doesn’t know anything luxury. So he looked at her and said, “why are you carrying a plastic bag?” She got soooo offended and told him that it’s expensive bag. He then said, “you should go get your $ back.” She was even more offended. 😆
🤣🤣🤣 Dude, she needs to relax, it’s just a bag and a flimsy one at that!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I must agree with your husband. Never find that brand attractive at all.
Goyard are the ugliest bags……🤷🏽♀️☺️
They do look like plastic bags lol
😊 thank you for your clear word about Goyard...exactly my thought - even more so after I saw some Goyard bags in person! And thank you for the truth about the Loewe basket bag...every spring/summer, I am tempted to buy one, but I think I will stick to my super cute personalized basket bag from Etsy for a fraction of the price!

It needed to be said…and I’m happy you voiced your opinions of the bags.

I think the same about Goyard. They’ve always looked flimsy to
Me. I was surprised when you purchased it.
Just my opinion but Goyard is light weight. Very popular where I live and wear well. Definitely not a beach bag. I buy beach bags at Target
Longchamp Pliage is so much more usable than the Goyard tote at about a 10th of the price!
I purchased my Jumbo 1 week after you. I remember your unboxing you were out of breath with excitement. I agree. I wouldn't buy it new. I love mine too.

Hehe 😄 I told ya, the Loewe definitely isn’t worth it in terms of the materials but I loveeeee them and that makes it worth it ♥️🤣
I just got a beautiful preloved jumbo Chanel in caviar and it’s great for work for a little more than 5,000 USD
I am thankful I was able to get both of my Chanel Medium Flaps (ultimate dream bags, one red caviar and one black) I want to say two price increases ago? (I paid less than 9k for each.) I'm with you, I can't imagine paying over 10k for a bag - I have my limits; especially with how infrequently I use them. I don't see them necessarily as an investment but I do see them as a cash equivalent because they do - at bare minimum- hold their value if they are maintained and I could rather quickly dispense with them on any number of resale websites. As wild as it sounds, once I was able to get those bags, I achieved "purse peace" the only other bag I've purchases since then was the Coach Cherry Tabby (which I use wayyyyyy more than the Chanel bags). I'm content with my little collection and am glad I purchased when I did because I definitely would not now! Aside from my other two Chanels (a woc & a mini classic from 2017) I have a handful of LV all purchased for under 2k and then some contemporary bags from Coach & Kate Spade. We all know the contemporary bags become virtually worthless as far as resale goes (you'll be lucky to get 25% of what you paid if you actually paid full price), but the LV should carry their value or be worth far more than I paid.
The goyard looks like a reusable shopping bag to me.
The LV duffle bag would definitely get damaged at the airport, but it’s beautiful nonetheless. I would use it for road trips as well.
I agree about the goyard. It looks like a plastic bag and looks flimsy. 😅
I've just bought the Chanel Jumbo preloved -- I love the size as a shoulder bag (it's very slimming!). I want this one forever now I have it. I agree financially with you, but who knows the future as Chanel are on the road to more steep increases where only certain customers will be able to afford them.
I agree with you on all points. The Goyard looks like it should be sold for less than half of its retail price. However, the tote looks awesome in ceetain colors such as red and green
Totally agree about the Chanel. I love my bags but I would never pay those prices for a bag. It’s ridiculous and they get away with it because people still pay. If they didn’t the prices would drop. I buy my bags to wear but also so my children can sell them one day when I’m gone ☺️🥰
Twinning with the side trunk ❤️❤️
I had been wanting the Goyard tote for a long time but recently bought a Moreau St. Tropez tote and the quality is beyond that of Goyard for Half the price. Would totally recommend it over the Goyard
You look so good in red! Hair is very nice too ❤
You are so sweet! Thank you so much Babe! 🥰♥️
I love my chanel jumbo! I purchased it 2/2022 for $9,500. I always wanted one, a new one. I have a WOC, 2.55 224 reissue, and a medium CF all prior to 2014. I wanted a jumbo to complete it and find it soooo useful and I love it as my mom bag to carry my stuff plus hers. Now, that being said I wouldn’t buy another. I also don’t know if I didn’t have it, idk if I would still buy it on the current price. I’m not sure lol. I do love it. I might 😂.
I want a goyard artois MM but I’ve been on the fence for a year. I don’t have goyard at all. I want to have it as a mommy/ toddler diaper bag but idk if it’ll hold up. Lol. I have a chanel deauville in beige BUT im so careful with it cos of the color after my daughter got spaghetti sauce on it (I got it out- phew 😂). Since then I’ve been looking for a luxury tote that isn’t too crazy expensive. I was looking at the neverfull too but I had one in 2008 and sold it and now can’t bring myself to buy another at the current price point- but there really isn’t any other bag like it… that hard wearing, long lasting, etc
Love this! Please do more in the future
And I agree with you I don’t think handbags are investments either I mean you can make most of your money back from some handbags. But it’s not investment. It shouldn’t be looked at someone either.
Totally agree with Goyard. With due respect I think the Saint Louis looks flimsy, and has very little aesthetic appeal. But other Goyard bags that are more structured are beautiful!
OMG!! agreed! I also saw a Versace bag that had a plastic gold chain! I was stunned that this caliber of a bag had plastic on it....
Couldn’t agree more! I will never forget the moment I went to go look at the La Medusa bag and was told the gold chain was plastic…my jaw hit the floor!
Terrific video! I agree, even if I could, I wouldn’t pay $10,000 for a bag, either. Thanks for the common sense wisdom, so well done! ♥️
Great topic Minnie. Definitely a tag video.
Thanks, Minnie! So helpful. 🥰
Hi Minnie👋 I always appreciate your enthusiasm, and this video did not disappoint. 🙂
Minnie, I love that you keep it honest!
😂😂❤❤ I love people that are real. I agree that bag doesn’t look like a 2k bag. Great video
Love love love ❤️ this video, Minnie. You make some excellent points. And I agree 💯 that the Chanel jumbo (or any classic flap) is now ridiculously overpriced. The Jumbo was my dream bag, and I thought I’d be getting it for my 40th birthday, but I changed my mind. I have the Chanel WOC and while I love it, I don’t think Chanel’s quality warrants it’s current prices.
On the other hand, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by Gucci recently - their designs and their prices in the past year, so I’ve shifted my focus to them. I do think that Gucci’s leather is phenomenal and I don’t mind paying for that.
Thank you so much Love! ♥️ I appreciate you sharing your thoughts on this topic. 🥰 So happy to hear you love your WOC too!! ♥️♥️
Love these kinds of videos! I totally agree with the keepall! The 45 is a mission to carry whn running from one gate to another so I can only imagine the 55 😮
Thanks May! Love the Keepalls but they are not the most comfortable. 😅♥️
This was a fun video. I have to agree with you on all of your choices. I think for me all though I love this bag to death and it was my 1st LV bag and I’ll never get rid of it the neverfull is not worth 2000. It’s canvas not leather not a lot of organization. It’s a big piece of canvas for 2000 not worth the price point. Just my opinion, but I do love the bag just not for that price.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on this topic and this bag, much appreciated Tasha! ♥️
I may be in the minority but I do travel with my LV luggage. I use them as carry-ons on flights and I put them in the trunk of my car. They’re luggage, so I expect that they will get wear and tear. I’m not rich either and don’t have a ton of luxury bags but I don’t really see the point in buying luxury luggage if you’re not going to use it. But that being said, my LV Keepall bandolier is my least favorite piece of luggage because the opening is not the easiest.
Facts Chanel but you have people that really believe that they’re gonna get what they pay for it now that’s crazy. And I’ve seen cases where people try to get what they pay for it. Why would a person pay you what you paid for it when they could just go buy it out of the store themselves and get it brand new. It makes no sense but they have convinced people of this and that’s why you see a lot of them on the market now because they’re just sitting there they’re not getting purchased because nobody’s going to pay you full price for a used bag I don’t care what the condition is it still used
Very sound advice! Thank you ❤
I agree with everything and I have some of these bags. Designer Straw bags are always been appreciated from afar from me. The Keepall is absolutely not an airport bag. I have the 50 and wouldn’t imagine walking an entire terminal with it. The Goyard! Yes!!! I’ve got many people coming at me because I said this is absolutely not the bag to replace your Neverfull for. It’s NOT as sturdy at all, it will break. Bags over 10k, I’m guilty of it ( Hermès) and I know it’s not rational and I shouldn’t pay that much. Sometimes our love for handbags takes the best out of us.😂 The Chanel CF will remain one of my favorite bag in the world, it’s my only reason to own 2. Ha ha I would buy it again at today’s price. But. Yes it’s too pricey.
Well people can come for me too because I also don’t think the Goyard St. Louis is the bag to replace the Neverfull! ♥️ Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on this issue topic Love! 🥰
Agree on all of these! Unfortunate but hard truths 😫💖
I love that you did this video‼️ I agree with your views and love the way you approached it!!! Thanks for sharing 😍👌🏾👏🏾
Thank you so much Love! ♥️
The small vanity Chanel bag is beautiful and would look great in the background for your videos. But not practical at all.
Excellent video…it’s always good to hear a practical voice.
I know what you mean about the jumbo. That was my first Chanel and I bought it because of yours videos like 5 years ago or more (not your fault at all!! 🙏🏻) . I realized that was too big for me and and sold it for less . I’m saving to buy the black medium. But yes. I think medium is the best size but probably I will go for a preloved one this time.
Great video and analysis Minnie!
I am glad we all agree Chanel has finally lost there ENTIRE mind on the signature "workhorse" at 10 stacks. *ABSOLUTELY NOT*
Interesting video, I would put that Goyard bag at number one. It looks cheap, isn’t particularly attractive, and doesn’t look like it would be worth more than $20, so the fact that it’s almost $2000 with tax is crazy to me😱
Buying it in Europe will cost 30% less
@@KS-zd4ew I still wouldn’t pay 30% less for that purse😬
Love your honesty and prospective on this video. I only have one Chanel bag, the Trendy CC, and I still cannot believe I own that bag. Chanel prices are just too much for my lifestyle. I still want to get a Chanel Shopping Tote from the preloved market but no any time soon. I also love the look of straw bags, but refused to pay more than $90 for it 😅😂😊I get my fix from Target it TJMax every other year or so. 😢 to hear your comments about the Goyard tote but completely understand and I think deep down my thoughts are exactly the same and that is way I cannot get myself to get that bag.
I would buy all these bags in a heartbeat Minnie, but THANK YOU for your honesty! 😅
You look gorgeous in this video. Red is your colour!
Agree on Carryalls: I don’t get it when people use it at the airport. A carry on is so much easier to handle traveling.
Luxury bags are not a practical choice in terms of money spent. It is an indulgence. For sure any bag over 1 K cannot be justified. A basket bag is a great example. Great video. The Chanel and Hermès bags are a perfect example and so are any SLGs
What you said is so true!. Half the time with brands 9x/10 you are paying for the name of the brand. Case in point the Loewe palm bag, you are paying for the name.
I liked your video, and I agree with most of things you said great topic and everything you said about the Chanel bags you were spot on. And that bag was beautiful so don’t sell it.
Omg 2 things. The basket bag, I could never justify that price, I rather get a custom basket bag on etsy. Second, the keepall! I agree, I bought mine pre loved and it was in amazing condition I mean it looked new and let me tell you, after my first trip with it I got a stain on the vecheta. So yes I'm glad I didn't spend the full price!
I totally agree with you. On all points
MCM is great! They never give you warnings about over stuffing it.
Minnie!!! You look great ❤ so glad I got to catch up!
I just ordered a navy blue for that mini vanity, cost me 3K with tax included, I had to return today because it is not worth it at all, weird trendy shape, definitely a fun bag, not classy so won’t worth it !!!!!
Oh snap $3k?! You are so right, this bag is trendy more than anything else. Thanks for sharing Love! ♥️
Minni I love your background setup can you pls do a video of the backdrop and how you store your bags pls
She has a couple of videos on bag storage.
Love this video! Agree on the Goyard tote. Have it in blue and it just doesn’t warrant the price! Thanks minks!
Goyard totes are simply over hyped!
I agree!
Great video! What are your thoughts on the new monoglam from LV? The blue Métis EW is calling my name but I’m trying to downsize as is so I’m torn. Would love to hear your insight!
Wow. You look absolutely amazing
You are far too kind Love, thank you! ♥️
You nailed it like always Minnie! I definitely don’t think the Goyard bags are worth the price. It’s definitely a bag that I can enjoy from a far, I love the colors but not the price. I love my Chanel jumbo and I have used it to death but I agree with you, I wouldn’t pay over 10k for it. I bought it like 4 years ago preloved for 4k and I think that’s a reasonable price to pay for such beauty. Like always thank you for sharing your thoughts. ❤
Am appalled that the goyard bag costs nearly 2k dollars 😱 i have seen shopping bags that look better than that and costs less than 20dollars.
Love this! 🎉
Ok now you know our next question is what other fashion houses has better quality than Chanel. I agree with you on the Chanel. I’d never pay full price it would be preloved. SLG I’m very particular and like Chanel. A good perspective as always.
Great video! This video is very informative. Also, thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts on the quality, functionality, and lackluster look of the St. Louis Goyard tote. I agree that the tote looks cheap and feels flimsy. I’m not very impressed with the products from that brand given the price point. “There is nothing about it that screams a $2k bag.”
Also, I complete agree with your assessment of the Chanel jumbo and the Louis Vuitton travel luggage. I agree that no bag is worth $10k, including Hermes, Chanel, or Louis Vuitton bags!
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on this topic Love, much appreciated! ♥️
I have had Chanel, LV, Gucci and found that there are so many bags that are well made and beautiful w/0 breaking the bank. It is all about status. What happens when it gets caught in the rain?
You are spot on for the Chanel jumbo. Great video & love your honesty!!
Lol...as I own the exact same basket bag from Loewe & I agree with you 100%. In fact, I hesitated for yrs before I finally decided to purchase it for all of the reasons that you mentioned. However, just like you, I absolutely love my basket bag & I still have to stop myself from getting more!!😂
Hahaha! Yessss!! 🙌🤣 So happy to hear you feel the same way!! ♥️
