DO NOT BUY THESE BAGS | LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES & REGRETS ❌ *WHY THEY DIDN'T WORK OUT FOR ME*
Hey guys! happy Thursday! Today we have a video of impulsive purchases and mistakes I have made when buying luxury handbags, this does not mean that ANY of these bags are bad, they just didn't work out specifically for me 🤍 I am open to try them out perhaps in different sizes or leather vs canvas down the road tho! Please let me know if you have any bags that have not worked out for you!

"Life is too short to be so scared of handbags." Well said! Forget FOMO; it's all about what works for you. I love my Pochette Metis. It's one of my favorite and most used bags, and I've had no issues with it.

I’d really have to disagree. My medium Coco Handle is one of my favorite bags ever! ❣️ It’s in white caviar with champagne gold hardware and I have no problems with it at all. It’s a great day bag but works so well for night events too (depending on the color of my outfit LOL). I’m also pretty tall so it works well with my frame in that size. Imo if your CCH was in a different color, it probably would’ve been a much more different experience 😂

I have the pouchette Métis in empriente black, red, and Turtledove…I love them all. So simple and functional. But,I recently got a Dior Bobby in Carmel and I love!!!! It’s so classic. I now want the Bobby in the white like you have…such a versatile bag. Waiting on a Fendi Peekaboo Mini right now in black…hope it lives up to the hype. Love your videos and advice! Keep it up!

Thanks for sharing your experience, Lou. My mistake was in buying the LV Alma PM in the vernis leather. I talked about it in my recent video on the bags I sold. I was so afraid to use it for fear of colour transfer. It also started becoming sticky and the colour started changing. Finally, I sold it and made a huge loss ☹️

@desmon6781 Жыл бұрын

I wanted the Pochette Métis so bad. But I decided to get the Coach Cassie because it has better back pocket, leather, inside the bag is sooo much better than the PM. Never regret since!!

@jolux570 Жыл бұрын

I actually owned a pochette Métis and bought the Coach Cassie in Oxblood a few months later. Loved the craftsmanship and the rich leather on the Coach Cassie that I wore it more than the pochette Métis. I finally just sold my pochette metis. Coach wins 1000% on that design and it is a fraction of the price.

I have definitely been there a few times. I just recently sold my Speedy 20 in the navy Empreinte leather that I thought that I was going to love. But I only worn it once and every time that I thought about wearing the bag, I ended up picking another bag instead. Also, I had the GG marmont small flap in the pink color that was an impulse. I don’t really wear pink but I took the chance and got it and wore it once just to have at least put it on and I never touched it again, so I sold the bag.

I've got that Urban Spirit coral color. I'm not so comfortable wearing it, always too worry to stain or scratch it. But I love it, the Medium size is perfect on my back and I can carry many things inside. The fact I have only light colors on my wardrobe is good, so I have a bit of color with the bag to match maybe a lipstick or polish nail.

Great video! You made some really great points. I've done the same in the past, "settling" for something and ending up not happy. That happened recently with me. In Barcelona, I saw a Loewe small Flamenco bag in white. It was so lovely but I was scared of the white. My sister bought the bag and was using it recently during a visit. I couldn't stop admiring the bag so I ended up buying it here in the US...at a higher price! I should have just followed my heart.

Thank you for this very helpful video and for sharing your experiences! Luckily for me, I tend to be a very cautious person and I usually don't make big "mistakes" when buying bags, but it still happened to me once and I'm still regretting it to this day. It was my first Louis Vuitton handbag. Many years ago, I bought the Alma BB in Epi leather, in a color that was somewhere between fuchsia and raspberry. For some reason that color was very fashionable back then. I loved it at first, but after a while I started realizing that the color was too bright for my style. 90 percent of my wardrobe consists of black, grey, and navy. I found the fuchsia color beautiful but it looked too flashy for me. I still own this bag because it has sentimental value, as it was my first luxury handbag, but I almost never use it anymore. I wish I had bought it in black leather instead, or even in Monogram or Damier Ebène. I've definitely learned my lesson and now I only purchase my bags in neutral colors.

I had the same dilemma with the caviar versus lambskin. When I bought my Chanel Jumbo, they put both in front of me and the caviar just looked so waxy and dull and the lambskin was so beautiful and luxurious so I went with the lamb skin. No regrets.

Hi Lou, very well said. You should buy a bag that works for you not because its on trend.I think we all make mistakes when we start buying luxury handbags because we go in awwww. Soon enough we get more comfortable entering these boutique and make more conscious decision of what we are buying instead of being so impulses.

i have a caviar beige claire the only classic flap i bought brand new, i used to own a 30year old classic flap in black i sold its hard to spend on something thats exorbitantly expensive and have to worry about it all the time so i just got the caviar and just bought a saint laurent puffer bag, i feel like the lambskin from saint laurent is much more durable than the chanel, i did splurge on the chanel 22 in white though but man its a pain i literally clean it every after use and i dont use it when i know im gona be eating or drinking something, i don't use it when i know i will be in a crowded area i don't use it when there are alot of kids or dogs around cause they just bump into you and not care, dogs just jump over you and sniff your bag so yeah... i only use it to the gym and before putting it in the locker i clean the locker its a pain...maybe il get another one in black and silver hardware cause the gold hardware the colour fades but it chips off it doesn't fade like the louis vuitton hardware, the LV hardware fades beautifully this one chips off...

I bought a pochette Métis in monogram and use it everyday because it’s a very casual handbag and looks great with jeans. However the top handle is delicate and it wears down fast so I don’t like grabbing it by the handle. I also bought a Chanel medium lambskin blue handbag impulsively at the boutique and really regret it because that royal blue is so bright for my wardrobe that it didn’t suit me. I felt like I impulsively spent so much money at once when I went to Chanel only because I wanted something from Chanel. I should have done more research.

It depends.

But as I said, I was older, and I guess that could make a difference.
