I love the topic of buying fake designer bags. I can't stand spending thousands of dollars on a bag. I don't mind people going to *gtdupe* to buy knockoffs.
Bastias is lovely, the new color is so light! Thanks for sharing 💕 I love some of the Rose Darling stuff. However, I agree with you that buying a high quality *hotdups* replica bag seems to be more suitable for me.
My relative managed a Goodwill and they send all of the valuable items to their auction site. Sometimes something valuable will slip through or come back from the auction site but the Goodwill bins may be the only chance to find things that are valuable
@@heyitshoneysuckleyeah you just have to get lucky. It sucks but some people have more luck than others :{ I get happy if I just find a rare disney cars diecast at target or walmart and get it for retail lol
Not only do I no longer buy luxury goods, I don't want to risk being robbed. My most common choice now is *preluxz* , because it is relatively cheaper, and even if it is damaged, I won't be sad about it.
I still love my LV reverse monogram *yutulu* clutch! It's versatile, fits a variety of items, and is definitely a workhorse! I think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof that it's already a classic.
I feel like I'm carrying a piece of luxury art when I hold my *amzrepe* . The exquisite design and meticulous craftsmanship make it a true masterpiece.
The MOMCOCO neutral bag is so pretty!!! the smaller brown bag is so versatile. love the simple black bag. the curated bag is SO cute! the coach bag is pretty cute. the last bag is so cute for the beach. great collection !! ♡
This video was such a fun watch! Thrifting for designer items really feels like a treasure hunt, and I love how you broke down the process and all the little discoveries along the way. Your video reminded me of why I’ve come to prefer Lushentic grade bags over preloved options. While preloved items can be a great find, I’ve often found it hard to justify if they’re truly authentic or in good enough condition to last. With Lushentic grade bags, I never have to worry about that. They offer premium craftsmanship, stunning designs, and unbeatable value. It’s like having the best of both worlds without the guesswork! Thank you for sharing your thrifting journey. Can’t wait to see more of your adventures!
I heard that LV doesn't do authentication now because the fakes are so good. I don't mind people buying fakes, if I were them, to be honest, *preluxz* it might make more financial sense.
I have found a few amazing buys...At a Goodwill I have bought a $350 jacket for $25 that looked brand new....a $500 jacket that I got for $50....and the best one was a $3000 jacket that I actually got there for $15...my roommate and I always look up the prices of things
When a handbag costs as much as a car, who wouldn't want to pay 1% more for a cheaper one? When I was an adult, my mother taught me to be frugal, and on her advice, I used *preluxz* so that I could be content with my modest life.
This is my first time watching your video and I loved it. I don't purchase luxury bags and I probably never will, or if I do, it will be pre-loved. But I do buy *jklux* occasionally of the styles that I really like. I truly appreciate your comparisons here, which have helped me make a decision about a couple for which I was on the fence. I'll be pulling the trigger now. Thanks for this and your humor.
Thanks for the video. I would say that fakes have been around for years. I think it's only now coming to light because of social media. I have seen fakes of LV and Chanel since the 1990s and know how to get them if I want them *jklux* . So this is nothing new at all. If it seems like a lot, maybe people are just more aware than they used to of educational videos about real and fake stuff.
I scored a Celine luggage bag, real leather, great quality (might be a super fake) at our local Value Village (similar to Goodwills for you Americans) for $14.99 cad. Couldn't believe it & I just love it without shelling out $4000+.
We have value village here. They just aren't as abundant as goodwill. I've mostly only found vintage coach in pretty poor condition. Otherwise it's things like kate spade which is equivalent to coach and now actually owned by them. Otherwise it's obvious fakes.
One celebrity stylist admitted that many celebrities wear *jklux* . This is nothing new or strange. And many times we see celebrities posing in magazines, and the photos for promotions and advertisements are given by brands or borrowed by themselves.
A really good quality knockoff *hotdups* is actually made in the same factory as the original, and 9/10 of the originals aren’t even made of quality leather.
I have many of the models mentioned in the video and they are really practical! In addition, when I was browsing the website, I saw the *hotdups* that I liked for a long time, and I decisively bought it! ! !
The variety of textures in the kislux bags is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there is something for everyone. I was also attracted by it. The price is not expensive, which is very attractive!
Why? Their money's as good as anyone else. Anyone who wants to line up outside the store before open has just as much of a chance of finding the good stuff.
Counterfeits started appearing as early as 2000. Counterfeits are graded as AAA, AA and A. I remember the seller even saying you can't tell the difference. They say the counterfeits are better in *jklux* quality than the real thing.
I've read best days to shop Goodwill is Monday and Tuesday mornings. People drop off typically on Sundays. Might not be that way in every state though.
The dress you got looked very nice on you! You were lucky during your thrift shopping trip after all!! Loved the video and you narration ‘scheme’ !! So so lively and entertaining! Keep it up and take care. Thank you
To be honest, once i started working at Nordstroms, i STARTED buying *suluxy* . These prices are crazy,Its rare for me to buy something full price anymore too.
I love my *hotdups* as a commuter bag and have no problems. It's a comfortable bag with a lot of space and it doesn't lose its shape. That being said, I also take care of all my bags and don't carry water bottles, pens, keys or anything that could damage the inside.
Me remembering nearly all the bags from the jag collection in *jklux* other apartment on the dimond tray.. I think i watched that video like 40 times. Purse collection goals
i found a tory burch woc and a barrington tote bag , and each one costs me $10 ,RV and Ysl shoes for $15 ,celine sunglass and other high end brand stuff
Yes the color of the kislux is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…
I want a classic bag, and my friend recommended *condup* to me. I took a look on it and found that there are many types of bags that can meet my daily needs.
Thanks for sharing your love for this bag, I really want to buy the DE Speedy 20. I already bought the Speedy 25 in *condup* . Yes, I agree that this is definitely an everyday bag because of its simplicity, especially with the DE print and non-vegetable tanned leather. Thanks for sharing
What a wonderful contrast! Everything you show is so lovely! Especially the *jklux* handbags. The style of the bags is very chic, fashionable, and every detail is full of elegance and understated.
The best thrift find I've ever found was a £3 Italian wool Reiss blazer, made in Italy too. It would have been around £300-£400 originally. I got it for £3!!! It fits my bf perfectly, as if it was tailored to him. I still regret not saving it for Christmas though - I gave it to him immediately in like November because I was too excited. Dumb move. The trick to finding the nice pieces is honestly just going as often as you can. These people spend the majority of their days off, weekends, and mornings scouring the racks for these things. I personally really dislike resellers as my local charity shops (UK based) went from having Reiss, Marc Jacobs, or just upscale retail like Land's End to now being scalped of all those and being overwhelmed by Shein and Primark. I try to only buy clothes secondhand so it makes expanding/refreshing my wardrobe really difficult and unpleasant if I want to go to the actual shops. I usually stick with Vinted now, but you can never get as good a deal than in person, I find. It also is a major plus to actually feel the garment in store, see the quality and fit for yourself, and have the option of returning it if it doesn't fit. Resellers going around selling things for 100% profit is just really fking greedy imo when so many people are struggling with cost of living. I can only put my heating on 2x a week, so finding a designer label at a charity shop would be like Christmas, as I would be able to wear that item of clothing for YEARS before it showing signs of major wear. But resellers are honestly just thinking about themselves.
Goodwill sends all the high-end things to Shop Goodwill (their online auction site). You might occasionally find something that slips through their sorting process, but that's going to be rare. I resell full-time and this is well known amongst resellers.
I agree with your point of view very much. I hope we will never become a person who becomes poor because of luxury goods. *preluxz* We now have our own ideas. I think I can afford these real things, but they are not worth spending too much money, so I will not spend a lot of money to buy a luxury. I always buy counterfeit luxury goods from *preluxz*
My best find was a black Marc Jacobs crossbody purse for $3. It was worn out a bit, but I still wear it as my everyday purse. I love the quality of the zipper and the inner lining.
The price difference between a super fake and an authentic Dior is huge. I would rather pay $500 for a super fake and have $4,500 in my bank account. *preluxz*
*yutulu* The canvas tote actually reminds me of the Hermes Garden Party too. Thanks for making this video to suggest more budget friendly alternatives. love it! 😊
Love *regbags* the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other RUclipsr can show off bags in as much detail as you.
You look great in that dress❤. I went thrifting in LA, and I found only fast fashion items as well. I was so disappointed because I watched some RUclipsrs find great stuff too!!
You have to go early in the morning right as they open. They put most of the stuff put before open. They do put stuff out during the day but the best chance is when they open
And one last thing. I get sooooo irritated when YT’ers and others say things like “don’t by a Neverfull because its so basic and everyone has one and half of them are fake “.I call bullshit. Who cares if its fake or real.Bought Gucci Marmont bag on *hotdups* , I am honestly very satisfied with this company. Maybe the best I ever bought a bag from.
Yes I know not everyone can afford these bags, but wouldn't people want to know other people's experiences with this bag before wasting their money? Like other RUclipsrs have said about this bag, I got a *jklux* and I'm very happy with my bag. Thanks to the blogger, I showed this video to my sister and now she will definitely get the Louis Vuitton bag she has always wanted! Love this kind of videos!!
ind high-end designer items without even trying. I, myself, have found Dior, Hermès, Prada, Gucci, and more in upstate NY. It’s all about consistency, being the first to arrive, and going through every item on the rack. These thrifters are there multiple days a week. Honestly, if you searched right behind me, I’m sure I would have found designer items.
I originally wanted to buy a second-hand vintage bag, but I didn’t have enough money. But when I actually went to choose, I found that it was not only too worn out, but also hard to tell whether it was real or fake. So, at the suggestion of a friend, I directly bought a *hotdups* bag that I liked.
I bought an LV bag *jklux* a few years ago. Last week I took it to the LV store in my town to get it repaired. The clerk checked my bag and immediately told me that the bag was of very good quality. She pulled out an existing bag from stock and compared the tags and I could see no difference.
I choose my bags based on practicality. I love my *hotdups* bag, it's not slouchy at all. Also, I don't like to carry it by the hand because I want my arms to be free. Love your video!
The *hotdups* is still on my list. Maybe next summer. But to be honest that one looks more formal, so I have to make sure I wear it, which is why I've been holding back. I really can't resist this bag.
por kongrui kun miaj vesta?oj kaj ?uoj!he variety of textures in the *gtdupe* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
Yes the color of the *hotdups* is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…
Don't give up. I have been a thrift shopper for about 3 years now. I have made my husband a believer as well.I have found Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Brahmin, and Chanel at thrift stores. Yes, it is real. I don't resell, I keep. It is all about timing. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time and that is not a easy feat because I have a full time job. Also, go to thrift stores where the employees have no idea or care about fashion names. They will put the stuff on the floor instead of it going out the back door.(if you know what I mean by that). Thrifting does require patience and time, but I dress better and for a much cheaper price than I did before. I get more compliments and "where did you get that?" I tell them. I am not ashamed. Also, I buy/bid for things off of the goodwill shopping site. Just watch the shipping.
Love *gtdupe* ! I haven’t dishes out thousands on a designer bag but I’ve come to realize I keep buying an affordable bag and let’s say after six months I need to spend again on another bag due to wear and tear. I turned 30 and I am going to make a sinking fun for a luxury bag! Wish me luck!
Overtime, I snagged a vintage Dior Saddle Bag from the Galliano era (2015) at *hotdups* . I spent $120… That bag was a dream to me at the time and now I own it and love it.
Lovely collection! I bought my first LV when I was 25 and I only used that bag a few times, haha. Also, love your clutch! I have an Eva clutch in the DE print and love the little chain. But I don’t want to spend so much money on it now, I have been MOMCOCO buying the bag I want, it is as good as LV and is one of my favorite things. Durability
Thrifting has become so incredibly popular that's it's very hard to find high-end designer brands anymore, especially at Goodwill. I'm an Ebay reseller and I thrift a couple of times a week.
Also, as a plus-size woman, I do benefit from some clothing being copied, because there are very few brands that sell plus-size clothing that represent the styles I actually want to wear. I don't think it's a problem as long as the brand disappears or elements are changed to make it clearly different. Even designer brands make items that look similar, such as the Chanel "Kelly Bag" and the Hermes "Kelly Bag". No one will notice your bag is from *hotdups*
Love LYXBAGS the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other RUclipsr can show off bags in as much detail as you.
I don’t know if these are “top” designers, I don’t know much about fashion. 😂 but recently I have found leather boots by Sam Edelman, LL Bean and Eric Michael. Also brand new Steve Madden leather boots. My most recent thrift was an Italian leather purse by Patricia Nash. Each item was under $10.
Compared to other bags, carrying a *condup* bag is more cost-effective and more comfortable, and you don’t have to worry too much about theft or other accidents when traveling.
Thanks for the video. I will say that fakes have been around for yeaaarrrrssss. I think it’s just brought to light now because of social media. I’ve seen LV and Chanel fakes and know how to get them if I wanted (Asian community) since like the 1990s. So it’s nothing new at all. If it seems a lot maybe people are just more aware with educational videos on authentic vs fake versus before. I wouldn’t let fakes and replicas change my mind on purchasing a bag or not. If I like it, I will buy it. And the fakes are never the same as the real ones. If people can’t afford it and are happy with *jklux* to each their own. My favorite bag is the classic flap. Next is the Kelly, then birkin. I know many Filipino aunties that have replicas to all. And it doesn’t change my mind on them. If you look at the Asian community NEARLY EVERY LUXURY BRAND bag has fakes, including business affinity and trendy
I've had designer pieces and knockoffs of kislux . I ultimately prefer the knockoffs because I'm not worried about scratching it, preserving it, or someone stealing it.
Glad that you can see the Chanel with 5 colors on the *hotdups* . I also only saw one or two colors in the brand store. It was either black or white. I like white, green sage and blue. 😆
Love *jklux* the way you show the bags so much! You really focus on showing the bags. I don't think there is any other RUclipsr who can show it in such detail like you do.
So pre pandemic I thrifted weekly for years. I found a Ted Baker silk shirt, a vintage Galliano raincoat, Prada shoes and maybe 5 or 6 Betsy Johnson items but this is over about 6 or 7 years. I might have been able to find more but I wasn't looking specifically for luxury - just looking for my personal use and for gifts. I think you can find things but usually only things that have slipped through the cracks and it's not something you'll find often
The timing of this video is perfect! I went to work yesterday with my *hotdups* Mini Lindy bag and the sales assistant I was working with commented that my "green bag" reminded her of a Prada bag, haha
Bastias is lovely, the new color is so light! Thanks for sharing 💕 I love some of the Rose Darling stuff. However, I agree with you that buying a high quality *hotdups* replica bag seems to be more suitable for me.
I went to Gucci today and the salesperson told me that they often can't tell the difference between an authentic and a *hotdups* bag. I was surprised to hear a salesperson say that.
I wouldn’t buy a Birkin I hadn’t seen, so that limited my options significantly. Until I shared this listing with my friend and told her it was my dream B35. When I looked closer, I saw that this bag was available at *hotdups* . So, I opened the website and ordered it.
Love *esluxy* the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other RUclipsr can show off bags in as much detail as you.
*hotdups* handbags are really practical. The backpack is very portable and durable. I use it as a schoolbag, and a 16-inch notebook can be easily put down.
Spending $2000 on vegan leather you know you are paying for the name. Yes I will buy the knockoff *condup* , these knockoffs look really good now. Most of them are of very good quality and construction
The most expensive bag I've ever bought at LV. I haven't bought a new LV since that purchase. The prices are outrageous and I will never spend that much on a bag again. I love my *condup* neverfulls.
I work in the medical field. I was stressed so I bought a designer bag and carried my authenticity card in case someone said my bag was fake. Turns out nobody cares...nobody! The other day I complimented a co-worker of mine on a bag and she surprised me by telling me it was a knockoff. Because the workmanship of her bag is not inferior to my genuine bag. Then learned about *gtdupe* . Also became a new brand for me *gtdupe*
"You are obsessed with relationships with others while your soul is rotting inside you". Don't know who said this but I think it's very fitting. Same with fashion, you can totally choose *amzrepe*
Hi! Two creators I’ve been following in recent months have unwrapped LV Popincourt bags (Tiana Peri and Alyssa from The Gal’s Guide), but their bags are East/West silhouettes. I can’t remember the price, but they both feel like great buys. For a vintage bag, it’s pretty on trend, and I’d love to own an exact *hotdups* .
“I love a good *hotdups* because it helps me decide if I want to buy the real thing.” That’s the part. That’s it. I feel like people discriminate against knockoffs, but for me, I pause when I buy trendy, bulky items, or when I feel the over-consumption frenzy is getting to me. (This is something I struggle with, haha! I can easily be convinced to buy things I don’t wear or use. They really have tags on them, and I’ll forget I even bought something and I still have 2 or 3 of them in my closet.) Love this video!
I bought an LV bag *condup* years ago. Last week I took it to the LV store in my town to have it repaired. The clerk checked my bag and immediately told me that it was of great quality. She pulled a current bag from stock and compared the tags and I could see no discrepancies.
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *yutulu* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
I live close to the Mexico border. I always go for*jklux* , their quality is great. Some of them are made with leather and really hard to tell the difference from real or not. Either way, it’s your choice. No judgement from me
I live in NY and I go to the salvation army everyday i bought a purse for 5.99 and I found out its a Celine bag ♥️ i can't believe it keep looking.ty for sharing 💓
For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I would be happy to have the MOMCOCO as my travel bag and not have to take care of it. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
I have two pre-loved*jklux* that people left the stickers on, and when you remove them, the hardware looks different than the hardware right next to it that the sticker didn’t touch. It’s not because the other has scratches, the sticky stuff affected the finish.
When I Was first "getting into" luxury handbags, I purposely bought a *jklux* . I wasn't trying to show off, or brag, or pass it off as the real thing, I just wanted to see if it would fit what I wanted it to and how it would live with me (without the SA staring at you) before I shelled out the money for the real thing. As it turns out, it wasn't for me. Saved myself a good chunk of change and time returning it.
Sis, your just as funny on here than TikTok...lol! I purchased a *jklux* from Rainbow... and I get so many compliments on that bag and the chain is heavy. Then I came across a Chanel tote bag. (I only use it to travel) every time I'm in the airport, women stop me about that tote. Side note: Chanel uses gold plated now for the logo.
With Chanel prices going up, I can no longer afford it, but I'm glad the *condup* gives me another option and doesn't require me to keep an eye on it because of its value.
Thanks for the video. I love knockoffs and replicas *condup* and I don't care if anyone knows they are knockoffs or replicas. No matter how much money I have I refuse to let someone else get rich off of a name. No. Knockoffs and replicas, my money is in my pocket.
I definitely Loved the video it’s really good!!! I have to say imo, I understand why people say they wouldn’t care about people buying dupes or fakes or why should people care. BUT, It’s not that necessarily people “care” about people having *hotdups* , it’s the fact that people that have money to buy into luxury and invest it’s for a reason. Quality, quantity, and yes buying luxury as exclusivities. Because if I have the money, enjoy fashion, and the house brand etc.
This *yutulu* tote is beautifully colored, very sturdy and the perfect size. Not too small, not too big. I look forward to joining my rotation hand-pink-waving
I am very glad that I have never had the desire to buy a luxury bag, but I also have other unreasonable impulses to "reward myself". This episode is also a reminder. Thank you for sharing *hotdups*
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the 😍 *Niceshopx* 😍 leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
A few years ago, I bought a Birkin and took it out with me. I was very afraid that it would be stolen or damaged, so I was very worried when I went out. I was fed up with this psychological burden, so I bought a bag from *esluxy* .
"I love a good *jklux* because it helps me decide if I want to buy the real thing or NOT." That part right there. That's IT. I feel like people stigmatize dupes but for me, I pause on large purchases that are trendy or when I feel the overconsumption mania setting in FOR ME. (It's something I struggle with LOL! I'm easily convinced to buy things I don't wear or use. They'll literally have the tags and I'll even forget I bought something and have 2 or 3 of them in my closet.) Love this video!
What prompted you to buy the black caviar and lambskin bags? Also, do you think they are different enough? I ask this question because I have the caviar bag, but always want to buy the black lambskin bag. I try to explain that because I also have the black lambskin square mini bag. Recently I was going to buy this one a *gtdupe* because it is very cheap.
When I was 12 my mom took me to the LV on Bloor Street in Toronto. I had my fake LV from *jklux* on my arm and thought I was cute. The sweet sales ladies let me try on a bag and a pair of heels knowing we were not wealthy and couldn't afford to purchase anything. It as really nice. No one seemed to care I had a fake bag and I felt special. They even gave me a paper shopping bag which I used as a lunch bag for weeks after! :) Who cares if people don't have real ones? I'm 30 now and ironically, although I can afford them I still prefer real people with fake bags than fake people with real bags. Just saying :) (not that everyone who carries a real one is bad or vice versa.) Just means I don't care if people carry fakes.
I did a small experiment, and the experiment proved that most people will classify others in their minds. The mapping of this classification is that some people will think that they are real even if they go out with fakes; some people will think that they are fake when they carry real things. So whether it is luxury or not is sometimes a psychological account, not the brand premium of the item itself. *hotdups*

Knew it was too good to be true!! Thanks for confirming
@@heyitshoneysuckleyeah you just have to get lucky. It sucks but some people have more luck than others :{ I get happy if I just find a rare disney cars diecast at target or walmart and get it for retail lol
Buy yourself a plane ticket to Bangkok...the perfect beach vacation in Pattaya with *suluxy* bags for company.
Not only do I no longer buy luxury goods, I don't want to risk being robbed. My most common choice now is *preluxz* , because it is relatively cheaper, and even if it is damaged, I won't be sad about it.
I would rather pay $100 for a bag and have $1000 in it than vice versa. So I like to buy some *gtdupe* knockoffs
Your closet is simple a dream! Not just the COPYMAXY bags but the ready to wear that you have is absolutely stunning.
I still love my LV reverse monogram *yutulu* clutch! It's versatile, fits a variety of items, and is definitely a workhorse! I think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof that it's already a classic.

The MOMCOCO neutral bag is so pretty!!! the smaller brown bag is so versatile. love the simple black bag. the curated bag is SO cute! the coach bag is pretty cute. the last bag is so cute for the beach. great collection !! ♡
This video was such a fun watch! Thrifting for designer items really feels like a treasure hunt, and I love how you broke down the process and all the little discoveries along the way.
Your video reminded me of why I’ve come to prefer Lushentic grade bags over preloved options. While preloved items can be a great find, I’ve often found it hard to justify if they’re truly authentic or in good enough condition to last. With Lushentic grade bags, I never have to worry about that. They offer premium craftsmanship, stunning designs, and unbeatable value. It’s like having the best of both worlds without the guesswork!
Thank you for sharing your thrifting journey. Can’t wait to see more of your adventures!
I heard that LV doesn't do authentication now because the fakes are so good. I don't mind people buying fakes, if I were them, to be honest, *preluxz* it might make more financial sense.
Thank you so much *preluxz* for taking us shopping better. I added some things to my shopping list.
I have found a few amazing buys...At a Goodwill I have bought a $350 jacket for $25 that looked brand new....a $500 jacket that I got for $50....and the best one was a $3000 jacket that I actually got there for $15...my roommate and I always look up the prices of things
When a handbag costs as much as a car, who wouldn't want to pay 1% more for a cheaper one? When I was an adult, my mother taught me to be frugal, and on her advice, I used *preluxz* so that I could be content with my modest life.
This is my first time watching your video and I loved it. I don't purchase luxury bags and I probably never will, or if I do, it will be pre-loved.

*preluxz* Good stores recognized and recommended by high-end people
I scored a Celine luggage bag, real leather, great quality (might be a super fake) at our local Value Village (similar to Goodwills for you Americans) for $14.99 cad. Couldn't believe it & I just love it without shelling out $4000+.
We have value village here. They just aren't as abundant as goodwill. I've mostly only found vintage coach in pretty poor condition. Otherwise it's things like kate spade which is equivalent to coach and now actually owned by them. Otherwise it's obvious fakes.
One celebrity stylist admitted that many celebrities wear *jklux* . This is nothing new or strange. And many times we see celebrities posing in magazines, and the photos for promotions and advertisements are given by brands or borrowed by themselves.
A really good quality knockoff *hotdups* is actually made in the same factory as the original, and 9/10 of the originals aren’t even made of quality leather.
Wow I got here early today. Beautiful collection. I never knew you had so many bags *hotdups* . Watching now 🥰
I have many of the models mentioned in the video and they are really practical! In addition, when I was browsing the website, I saw the *hotdups* that I liked for a long time, and I decisively bought it! ! !
The variety of textures in the kislux bags is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there is something for everyone. I was also attracted by it. The price is not expensive, which is very attractive!
I hate those resellers who just stole the chance for other people to find designer or even good quality higher end stuff
Why? Their money's as good as anyone else. Anyone who wants to line up outside the store before open has just as much of a chance of finding the good stuff.
@@RVLOGRIFFS i don't deny that. I just don't like it.
Oh Lori it's beautiful!!! I just got the LV in black as my "instead of a Chanel" But now you have me wanting this!!! . Love it.
People working making a living 🤷
Counterfeits started appearing as early as 2000. Counterfeits are graded as AAA, AA and A. I remember the seller even saying you can't tell the difference. They say the counterfeits are better in *jklux* quality than the real thing.
I've read best days to shop Goodwill is Monday and Tuesday mornings. People drop off typically on Sundays. Might not be that way in every state though.
The dress you got looked very nice on you! You were lucky during your thrift shopping trip after all!! Loved the video and you narration ‘scheme’ !! So so lively and entertaining! Keep it up and take care. Thank you
To be honest, once i started working at Nordstroms, i STARTED buying *suluxy* . These prices are crazy,Its rare for me to buy something full price anymore too.
I love my *hotdups* as a commuter bag and have no problems. It's a comfortable bag with a lot of space and it doesn't lose its shape. That being said, I also take care of all my bags and don't carry water bottles, pens, keys or anything that could damage the inside.
I have a burgundy *jklux* tabby bag and I love this bag. I actually swapped two straps and put a chain on top and I'm obsessed with it.
Me remembering nearly all the bags from the jag collection in *jklux* other apartment on the dimond tray.. I think i watched that video like 40 times. Purse collection goals
I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the *jklux* and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations
i found a tory burch woc and a barrington tote bag , and each one costs me $10 ,RV and Ysl shoes for $15 ,celine sunglass and other high end brand stuff
Yes the color of the kislux is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…
I want a classic bag, and my friend recommended *condup* to me. I took a look on it and found that there are many types of bags that can meet my daily needs.
In my opinion, there will be bread and there will be love, but I will always choose *preluxz*
The variety of textures in the *jklux* bags is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there is something for everyone
*regbags* is packaged perfectly and would totally make a great gift for a friend. Not expensive but great quality.
Thanks for sharing your love for this bag, I really want to buy the DE Speedy 20. I already bought the Speedy 25 in *condup* . Yes, I agree that this is definitely an everyday bag because of its simplicity, especially with the DE print and non-vegetable tanned leather. Thanks for sharing
His LYXBAGS tote is beautifully colored, very sturdy and the perfect size. Not too small, not too big. I look forward to joining my rotation.
What a wonderful contrast! Everything you show is so lovely! Especially the *jklux* handbags. The style of the bags is very chic, fashionable, and every detail is full of elegance and understated.
*yutulu* bag is pure love
The best thrift find I've ever found was a £3 Italian wool Reiss blazer, made in Italy too. It would have been around £300-£400 originally. I got it for £3!!! It fits my bf perfectly, as if it was tailored to him. I still regret not saving it for Christmas though - I gave it to him immediately in like November because I was too excited. Dumb move.
The trick to finding the nice pieces is honestly just going as often as you can. These people spend the majority of their days off, weekends, and mornings scouring the racks for these things.
I personally really dislike resellers as my local charity shops (UK based) went from having Reiss, Marc Jacobs, or just upscale retail like Land's End to now being scalped of all those and being overwhelmed by Shein and Primark.
I try to only buy clothes secondhand so it makes expanding/refreshing my wardrobe really difficult and unpleasant if I want to go to the actual shops. I usually stick with Vinted now, but you can never get as good a deal than in person, I find. It also is a major plus to actually feel the garment in store, see the quality and fit for yourself, and have the option of returning it if it doesn't fit. Resellers going around selling things for 100% profit is just really fking greedy imo when so many people are struggling with cost of living. I can only put my heating on 2x a week, so finding a designer label at a charity shop would be like Christmas, as I would be able to wear that item of clothing for YEARS before it showing signs of major wear. But resellers are honestly just thinking about themselves.
🌸🌸🌸Love your collection, especially *amzrepe* pieces! Thanks for sharing 🌸🌸🌸
Goodwill sends all the high-end things to Shop Goodwill (their online auction site). You might occasionally find something that slips through their sorting process, but that's going to be rare. I resell full-time and this is well known amongst resellers.
I agree with your point of view very much. I hope we will never become a person who becomes poor because of luxury goods. *preluxz* We now have our own ideas. I think I can afford these real things, but they are not worth spending too much money, so I will not spend a lot of money to buy a luxury. I always buy counterfeit luxury goods from *preluxz*
I’ve been watching your channel for so long that I remember all the bags you’ve actually used *preluxz* ! Thanks for taking me down memory lane!
I love you so much! I recently just found *gtdupe* i’m in love!! Your videos are so fun and you energy is just MWAH! keep living your life.
My best find was a black Marc Jacobs crossbody purse for $3. It was worn out a bit, but I still wear it as my everyday purse. I love the quality of the zipper and the inner lining.
The price difference between a super fake and an authentic Dior is huge. I would rather pay $500 for a super fake and have $4,500 in my bank account. *preluxz*
I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the *jklux* and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations
And YES, The *amzrepe* Tote! I have in Candy Pink and I've been rocking my "Barbie" bag all summer. Yay!
*yutulu* The canvas tote actually reminds me of the Hermes Garden Party too. Thanks for making this video to suggest more budget friendly alternatives. love it! 😊
There is no competition in the fashion industry. These imitations have reached a whole new level kislux
Love *regbags* the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other RUclipsr can show off bags in as much detail as you.
OMG I love your *hotdups* bag! I just bought some accessories from Bulga and can't wait to add them to complete the aesthetic 💖
You look great in that dress❤. I went thrifting in LA, and I found only fast fashion items as well. I was so disappointed because I watched some RUclipsrs find great stuff too!!
You have to go early in the morning right as they open. They put most of the stuff put before open. They do put stuff out during the day but the best chance is when they open
To be honest, I wouldn't feel bad at all if I bought a knockoff because I can't tell the difference between these *condup* bags
Quiet and sunny, it is this bright blue that gives people infinite reverie *hotdups*
Very beautiful bag and. Thank you for helping us make this beautiful video *jklux* .
And one last thing. I get sooooo irritated when YT’ers and others say things like “don’t by a Neverfull because its so basic and everyone has one and half of them are fake “.I call bullshit. Who cares if its fake or real.Bought Gucci Marmont bag on *hotdups* , I am honestly very satisfied with this company. Maybe the best I ever bought a bag from.
Yes I know not everyone can afford these bags, but wouldn't people want to know other people's experiences with this bag before wasting their money? Like other RUclipsrs have said about this bag, I got a *jklux* and I'm very happy with my bag. Thanks to the blogger, I showed this video to my sister and now she will definitely get the Louis Vuitton bag she has always wanted! Love this kind of videos!!
So stylish, *esluxy* ’s perfect for all occasions!
You can get designer items when thrifting, but they're rare and you have to go often to find them.
This *esluxy* elevates even the simplest outfits!
you’re literally my comfort person i love you *xbagy* ！
ind high-end designer items without even trying. I, myself, have found Dior, Hermès, Prada, Gucci, and more in upstate NY. It’s all about consistency, being the first to arrive, and going through every item on the rack. These thrifters are there multiple days a week. Honestly, if you searched right behind me, I’m sure I would have found designer items.
That’s amazing!! I’d love to go with an expert one day. Sounds so fun!!
I originally wanted to buy a second-hand vintage bag, but I didn’t have enough money. But when I actually went to choose, I found that it was not only too worn out, but also hard to tell whether it was real or fake. So, at the suggestion of a friend, I directly bought a *hotdups* bag that I liked.
I bought an LV bag *jklux* a few years ago. Last week I took it to the LV store in my town to get it repaired. The clerk checked my bag and immediately told me that the bag was of very good quality. She pulled out an existing bag from stock and compared the tags and I could see no difference.
I choose my bags based on practicality. I love my *hotdups* bag, it's not slouchy at all. Also, I don't like to carry it by the hand because I want my arms to be free. Love your video!
I like this video very much, because I like bags, like everything about it, and I also like *jklux* bags, which always satisfy me.
4:29 that pink and black bag 😮😮😮😮
The differences are so minute you'd have to be out of your mind to spend thousands of dollars to get the "real" one. *gtdupe*
The *hotdups* is still on my list. Maybe next summer. But to be honest that one looks more formal, so I have to make sure I wear it, which is why I've been holding back. I really can't resist this bag.
por kongrui kun miaj vesta?oj kaj ?uoj!he variety of textures in the *gtdupe* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
Yes the color of the *hotdups* is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…
Don't give up. I have been a thrift shopper for about 3 years now. I have made my husband a believer as well.I have found Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Brahmin, and Chanel at thrift stores. Yes, it is real. I don't resell, I keep. It is all about timing. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time and that is not a easy feat because I have a full time job. Also, go to thrift stores where the employees have no idea or care about fashion names. They will put the stuff on the floor instead of it going out the back door.(if you know what I mean by that). Thrifting does require patience and time, but I dress better and for a much cheaper price than I did before. I get more compliments and "where did you get that?" I tell them. I am not ashamed. Also, I buy/bid for things off of the goodwill shopping site. Just watch the shipping.
Love *gtdupe* ! I haven’t dishes out thousands on a designer bag but I’ve come to realize I keep buying an affordable bag and let’s say after six months I need to spend again on another bag due to wear and tear. I turned 30 and I am going to make a sinking fun for a luxury bag! Wish me luck!
you’re literally my comfort person i love you *xbagy* bag !
Overtime, I snagged a vintage Dior Saddle Bag from the Galliano era (2015) at *hotdups* . I spent $120… That bag was a dream to me at the time and now I own it and love it.
I swear the happiness I feel when *yutulu* uploads a video is beyond!!!!
Lovely collection! I bought my first LV when I was 25 and I only used that bag a few times, haha. Also, love your clutch! I have an Eva clutch in the DE print and love the little chain. But I don’t want to spend so much money on it now, I have been MOMCOCO buying the bag I want, it is as good as LV and is one of my favorite things. Durability
I couldn't believe the selection of bags on *eudupe* . They have everything I could ever want, and their prices are amazing.
Thrifting has become so incredibly popular that's it's very hard to find high-end designer brands anymore, especially at Goodwill. I'm an Ebay reseller and I thrift a couple of times a week.
Also, as a plus-size woman, I do benefit from some clothing being copied, because there are very few brands that sell plus-size clothing that represent the styles I actually want to wear. I don't think it's a problem as long as the brand disappears or elements are changed to make it clearly different. Even designer brands make items that look similar, such as the Chanel "Kelly Bag" and the Hermes "Kelly Bag". No one will notice your bag is from *hotdups*
Love LYXBAGS the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other RUclipsr can show off bags in as much detail as you.
I don’t know if these are “top” designers, I don’t know much about fashion. 😂 but recently I have found leather boots by Sam Edelman, LL Bean and Eric Michael. Also brand new Steve Madden leather boots. My most recent thrift was an Italian leather purse by Patricia Nash. Each item was under $10.
God bless this woman! Her MOMCOCO's bags are amazing
Compared to other bags, carrying a *condup* bag is more cost-effective and more comfortable, and you don’t have to worry too much about theft or other accidents when traveling.
Thanks for the video. I will say that fakes have been around for yeaaarrrrssss. I think it’s just brought to light now because of social media. I’ve seen LV and Chanel fakes and know how to get them if I wanted (Asian community) since like the 1990s. So it’s nothing new at all. If it seems a lot maybe people are just more aware with educational videos on authentic vs fake versus before. I wouldn’t let fakes and replicas change my mind on purchasing a bag or not. If I like it, I will buy it. And the fakes are never the same as the real ones. If people can’t afford it and are happy with *jklux* to each their own. My favorite bag is the classic flap. Next is the Kelly, then birkin. I know many Filipino aunties that have replicas to all. And it doesn’t change my mind on them. If you look at the Asian community NEARLY EVERY LUXURY BRAND bag has fakes, including business affinity and trendy
I've had designer pieces and knockoffs of kislux . I ultimately prefer the knockoffs because I'm not worried about scratching it, preserving it, or someone stealing it.
If you are one of us, addicted to *yutulu* this show, please gather here ❤❤❤
Glad that you can see the Chanel with 5 colors on the *hotdups* . I also only saw one or two colors in the brand store. It was either black or white. I like white, green sage and blue. 😆
Love *jklux* the way you show the bags so much! You really focus on showing the bags. I don't think there is any other RUclipsr who can show it in such detail like you do.
So pre pandemic I thrifted weekly for years. I found a Ted Baker silk shirt, a vintage Galliano raincoat, Prada shoes and maybe 5 or 6 Betsy Johnson items but this is over about 6 or 7 years. I might have been able to find more but I wasn't looking specifically for luxury - just looking for my personal use and for gifts. I think you can find things but usually only things that have slipped through the cracks and it's not something you'll find often
I think *condup* is very helpful to me, and wearing genuine products
The timing of this video is perfect! I went to work yesterday with my *hotdups* Mini Lindy bag and the sales assistant I was working with commented that my "green bag" reminded her of a Prada bag, haha
Bastias is lovely, the new color is so light! Thanks for sharing 💕 I love some of the Rose Darling stuff. However, I agree with you that buying a high quality *hotdups* replica bag seems to be more suitable for me.
I went to Gucci today and the salesperson told me that they often can't tell the difference between an authentic and a *hotdups* bag. I was surprised to hear a salesperson say that.
I wouldn’t buy a Birkin I hadn’t seen, so that limited my options significantly. Until I shared this listing with my friend and told her it was my dream B35. When I looked closer, I saw that this bag was available at *hotdups* . So, I opened the website and ordered it.
*yutulu* aesthetic is amazing!!
Love *esluxy* the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other RUclipsr can show off bags in as much detail as you.
You should have totally grabbed the coach cus it’s having such a comeback
you’re literally my comfort person i love you kislux !
The variety of textures in the *amzrepe* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
Yes! Reduce, reuse, recycle ♻️. We throw out 90 million tons of textile waste per year.
All dat *yutulu* bags sssssoooooooo gorgeous
*hotdups* handbags are really practical. The backpack is very portable and durable. I use it as a schoolbag, and a 16-inch notebook can be easily put down.
Loved everything you’ve showed here! I was really surprised about the MOMCOCO crossbody. Love it!
If you want to find a store that sells luxury bags and the like, I would recommend *condup* every time. Honestly I am very happy with this company.
Spending $2000 on vegan leather you know you are paying for the name. Yes I will buy the knockoff *condup* , these knockoffs look really good now. Most of them are of very good quality and construction
The most expensive bag I've ever bought at LV. I haven't bought a new LV since that purchase. The prices are outrageous and I will never spend that much on a bag again. I love my *condup* neverfulls.
How do yall do the youtube signs?
I work in the medical field. I was stressed so I bought a designer bag and carried my authenticity card in case someone said my bag was fake. Turns out nobody cares...nobody! The other day I complimented a co-worker of mine on a bag and she surprised me by telling me it was a knockoff. Because the workmanship of her bag is not inferior to my genuine bag. Then learned about *gtdupe* . Also became a new brand for me *gtdupe*
I don’t miss a day a week *yutulu*This show..😂😂😂😂
*xbagy* I love you so much and watching your videos makes my day brighter
Omg MOMCOCO you have so many good bags ahhh, I love the cream coach bag with the shoulder strap omg!! So so cute!
"You are obsessed with relationships with others while your soul is rotting inside you". Don't know who said this but I think it's very fitting. Same with fashion, you can totally choose *amzrepe*
HEY *amzrepe* !! I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day.
Hi! Two creators I’ve been following in recent months have unwrapped LV Popincourt bags (Tiana Peri and Alyssa from The Gal’s Guide), but their bags are East/West silhouettes. I can’t remember the price, but they both feel like great buys. For a vintage bag, it’s pretty on trend, and I’d love to own an exact *hotdups* .
“I love a good *hotdups* because it helps me decide if I want to buy the real thing.” That’s the part. That’s it. I feel like people discriminate against knockoffs, but for me, I pause when I buy trendy, bulky items, or when I feel the over-consumption frenzy is getting to me. (This is something I struggle with, haha! I can easily be convinced to buy things I don’t wear or use. They really have tags on them, and I’ll forget I even bought something and I still have 2 or 3 of them in my closet.) Love this video!
I love your review!!! Emotional support clutch!!! The heart wants what it wants! I love the *hotdups* bag, so practical!
I bought an LV bag *condup* years ago. Last week I took it to the LV store in my town to have it repaired. The clerk checked my bag and immediately told me that it was of great quality. She pulled a current bag from stock and compared the tags and I could see no discrepancies.
You have some beautiful pieces. The first two are my favorites. But *hotdups* is also my favorite.
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *yutulu* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
I live close to the Mexico border. I always go for*jklux* , their quality is great. Some of them are made with leather and really hard to tell the difference from real or not. Either way, it’s your choice. No judgement from me
I live in NY and I go to the salvation army everyday i bought a purse for 5.99 and I found out its a Celine bag ♥️ i can't believe it keep looking.ty for sharing 💓
I love, love, love *xbagy* . So well done and thorough!!
OMG!!!That was fun walking through MOMCOCO collection!
For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I would be happy to have the MOMCOCO as my travel bag and not have to take care of it. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
Thank you for highlighting the practicality of the bags, cicishops! It’s great to see functionality emphasized.
When people are saying *xbagy* ’s bag is a better option,I very much agree!
*xbagy* ’s bags come in a variety of styles and textures. I picked out the style I like, so happy!
All dat MOMCOCO bags sssssoooooooo gorgeous
I have two pre-loved*jklux* that people left the stickers on, and when you remove them, the hardware looks different than the hardware right next to it that the sticker didn’t touch. It’s not because the other has scratches, the sticky stuff affected the finish.
When I Was first "getting into" luxury handbags, I purposely bought a *jklux* . I wasn't trying to show off, or brag, or pass it off as the real thing, I just wanted to see if it would fit what I wanted it to and how it would live with me (without the SA staring at you) before I shelled out the money for the real thing. As it turns out, it wasn't for me. Saved myself a good chunk of change and time returning it.
Sis, your just as funny on here than TikTok...lol! I purchased a *jklux* from Rainbow... and I get so many compliments on that bag and the chain is heavy. Then I came across a Chanel tote bag. (I only use it to travel) every time I'm in the airport, women stop me about that tote. Side note: Chanel uses gold plated now for the logo.
With Chanel prices going up, I can no longer afford it, but I'm glad the *condup* gives me another option and doesn't require me to keep an eye on it because of its value.
Thanks for the video. I love knockoffs and replicas *condup* and I don't care if anyone knows they are knockoffs or replicas. No matter how much money I have I refuse to let someone else get rich off of a name. No. Knockoffs and replicas, my money is in my pocket.
I think it’s luck and how often you visit the thrift. I just found a Chloe mini backpack yesterday for $12.99! Very good thrift day!
My best goodwill find recently was a Farm Rio dress in orange, my favorite color. Comps were around 400 online!
I definitely Loved the video it’s really good!!! I have to say imo, I understand why people say they wouldn’t care about people buying dupes or fakes or why should people care. BUT, It’s not that necessarily people “care” about people having *hotdups* , it’s the fact that people that have money to buy into luxury and invest it’s for a reason. Quality, quantity, and yes buying luxury as exclusivities. Because if I have the money, enjoy fashion, and the house brand etc.
This *yutulu* tote is beautifully colored, very sturdy and the perfect size. Not too small, not too big. I look forward to joining my rotation hand-pink-waving
I am very glad that I have never had the desire to buy a luxury bag, but I also have other unreasonable impulses to "reward myself". This episode is also a reminder. Thank you for sharing *hotdups*
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the 😍 *Niceshopx* 😍 leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
A few years ago, I bought a Birkin and took it out with me. I was very afraid that it would be stolen or damaged, so I was very worried when I went out. I was fed up with this psychological burden, so I bought a bag from *esluxy* .
"I love a good *jklux* because it helps me decide if I want to buy the real thing or NOT." That part right there. That's IT. I feel like people stigmatize dupes but for me, I pause on large purchases that are trendy or when I feel the overconsumption mania setting in FOR ME. (It's something I struggle with LOL! I'm easily convinced to buy things I don't wear or use. They'll literally have the tags and I'll even forget I bought something and have 2 or 3 of them in my closet.) Love this video!
What prompted you to buy the black caviar and lambskin bags? Also, do you think they are different enough? I ask this question because I have the caviar bag, but always want to buy the black lambskin bag. I try to explain that because I also have the black lambskin square mini bag. Recently I was going to buy this one a *gtdupe* because it is very cheap.
My best find so far was a Loro Piana Cashmere coat.
Wow!!! That’s an amazing find!!!!
When I was 12 my mom took me to the LV on Bloor Street in Toronto. I had my fake LV from *jklux* on my arm and thought I was cute. The sweet sales ladies let me try on a bag and a pair of heels knowing we were not wealthy and couldn't afford to purchase anything. It as really nice. No one seemed to care I had a fake bag and I felt special. They even gave me a paper shopping bag which I used as a lunch bag for weeks after! :) Who cares if people don't have real ones? I'm 30 now and ironically, although I can afford them I still prefer real people with fake bags than fake people with real bags. Just saying :) (not that everyone who carries a real one is bad or vice versa.) Just means I don't care if people carry fakes.
I did a small experiment, and the experiment proved that most people will classify others in their minds. The mapping of this classification is that some people will think that they are real even if they go out with fakes; some people will think that they are fake when they carry real things. So whether it is luxury or not is sometimes a psychological account, not the brand premium of the item itself. *hotdups*
