I couldn’t handle the superiority complex of the message: I’ve replaced by bags with children. And nothing will compare to my motherhood status, so I’m superior now. I hate these women who play that card. I couldn’t have kids sadly so does that mean I have to remain a loser with labels?!

She preaches "you will own nothing and be happy" from a luxurious multi-million dollar home while wearing Cartier jewellery and driving a Tesla.

My first thoughts were shut up, followed by no one cares, and finished with unsubscribed

She is literally jumping from one "herd" to another, branded luxury to quiet luxury, probably releasing her own brand soon😂

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who rolled my eyes. She was basically shifting bags from one shelf to the next and I cackled. She will be refilling her closet in 321. Anna Bey's video was equally laughable because she went onto to say she wasn’t getting rid of her luxury closet all while complaining about people getting luxury closets.

A true bag lover does not buy bags to resell them.

As a mother who loves luxury, I felt it was shaming.

She's acting like she sold that stuff and gave the money to orphans.

I watched it in complete bewilderment. It felt like a cult video. I will continue to enjoy luxury and not give a shit what anyone else does or thinks. I love your reactions.

So well articulated! I couldn't even finnish that video because it was so preachy.

My only quibble: the lux community is directing too much traffic to that silly video. The "enlightened" folks are...well, not. They discovered thoughts beyond luxury! They discovered pursuits beyond shopping! They READ A BOOK, they discovered actual life content!. Honestly, that's the bottom line with these youtubers, women most of them, I must add. They became adults at 30-35, most of us realized life was way deeper at...15. Sorry for the rant.

My first thought? She is broke!!! Needs the money and this is the best way to end the business! She is selling couple of her shit only. She doesn’t have to show were is her things. Its BS!!!

Reminds me of anna bey, saying no over consumption sell everything, ..... while ads for her own clothes line pop up during her video 🙄

I get so tired of the status symbol argument because it's just not true at all. People buy LV with Afterpay 🤣😂 we just buy the brands because we love the brand, it's not that deep. ❤

She is a hypocrite. Currently her "best" accessories are her cute babies. Later on wheb her kids grow up a bit, she'll go back into buying luxury again. She just wants to stay relevant. She took a bit of a hiatus on YT.

She had all of that to say with Love bracelet on one wrist, and an Alhambra on the other. 🙄

I had no idea who Niki Sky was before the flood of reaction videos from my favorite KZfaqrs. I watched it and read the comments. The most interesting part of the video was her reference to women being in competition. I've never felt competition as a motivation for style or purchases. If she did, it must have been exhausting. I think very extreme life transformations can be dangerous. There has to be a middle ground between consumer gluttony and minimalism. I hope she doesn't regret this purge later.

The whole video sounded like Nicki has had expensive therapy and she's passing on what the therapist told her, word for word. It doesn't have the ring of authenticity put it that way. Love the hoodie Connor! ♥

I lost a friend and she owned many beautiful bags. She passed down her bags to her close family and they will always have the memories from her. Some are more expensive than others but they hold emotional value ❤

Recently her best performing video called: “I got rid of everything”- 162K views. It explains everything. 😅 She made money on KZfaq and grew her channel by buying expensive luxury things that she didn't like and just to show off, now she thinks no one is interested in it anymore and she has changed direction. I feel false and impunity, a person does not bear any responsibility for manipulating the audience, and then calls it “growth” and encourages the audience to do the same. It was unpleasant for me to watch her video.

The dramatics of her holding the microphone had already turned me off. I couldn’t finish the video but did not find it genuine. The thumbnail alone screamed “scam.” I wish more people would just look to their own validation rather than think influencers are the end all be all. They need to look within and grow up. Great video Conner. 💕

You can tell that narcissist was full of it because she still has all her haul and unboxing vids up. If she really feels that way about luxury stuff she would have taken down all those vids rather than keep them up for monetization lol😂💰

Good on you, Connor. These KZfaqrs are just following the latest trend. It is all a load of rubbish. Handbags are just handbags, it’s just some are ludicrously over priced.

Totally agree Connor. I wished I hadn’t watched it as I eye rolled all the way through. Even though she said she wasn’t judging others etc it felt judgmental to me. There’s nothing worse when someone makes a change and has seen the light and patronises everyone around them as if they are better somehow. I think it’s the underlying issue that person has that needed addressing. Throwing away all your bags won’t change that. Having said that it made me giggle that she’s happy to sell her bags to her audience who she is telling these bags are evil! I think it’s so extreme to get rid of everything. I understand curbing spending going forward etc but to get rid of everything! 🤔 hope it’s worth the views as she might be regretting it! Also I didn’t understand the issue re logo bags and non logo. She talks of spending and overconsumption but happy to keep non logo bags? So it’s ok to consume as long as nobody knows what it is?!?

That quote destroyed 98% of my brain cells

I relate to Niki Shy. I am proud of her epiphany to change. I didn't interpret the video like you. She is changing for herself and not to persuade others to follow her.

I think people who have to purge everything material in their life need therapy. Handbags aren’t at the root of their issues.

Yeah I think I commented on her video and said I’m not getting rid of anything.I love my dressing room. I am being more intentional with my purchases, of course, but I’m not selling!!! I have enough guilt being a woman and a mother…I don’t need more guilt for liking my brands.😊I’m all for self reflection.she can do what she wants but I’m not following 😂😂😂😂😂

That quote is from an American sociologist from the early 1900s about identity formation in society called the “looking glass self” ☺

LMAO! And in the first one she was pushing her jewelry sponsor.

These luxury items built their you tube channels. That's why they kept buying stuff so we would watch their channel.n

I find it bizarre that people are responding this video like she personally attacked them. The woman spoke about her experience and her thoughts and feelings alone and passed no judgement on anyone else.

Almost every single SA in LA says the “it’s the only one in the country” I can’t stand it bc I know they’re fronting so hard to make the sale. I respect the SAs that just tell you it’s popular and let you decide what you want to do. None of this false pressure. But anyways loved your input, I haven’t watched her video nor will I plan to, only bc I’ve seen some other people’s off switch from luxury videos & idk they always come across exactly what you said “judgmental but tied up in a bow” and that’s gonna be a no from me too lolol

I have 140 cans of Diet Coke in my linen cupboard…….just in case they do actually discontinue it.

I think her video is intended for gen z fashion girls & guys who just want to follow trends. Not genuine handbag enthusiasts. I consume loads of youtube fashion content and the stuff she was saying is spat out loads in videos investment, timeless etc so to the audience I think its intended for I think are likely to resonate with her list of ‘lies’. I think people who buy a bag to ‘keep up/ status symbol’ are more likely the people who buy fakes anyway. Less consumerism is never a bad thing, but I just think she’s not aware she’s clearly just following a current trend here herself by doing this kind of luxury purge. Maybe she’s not as awake to influence as she thinks she is.

I haven’t watched Niki’s video but I’m well aware of who she is and the amount of luxury she owned. She would buy bags, ready to wear, shoes and numerous other luxury pieces. I’m sure those that watch can see the magnificent home she lives in. I remember when she was having her home built with all the specifications they wanted. If she’s getting rid of her luxury items because of all the “LIES” is she still going to be living in her mansion? I believe she lives in a very expensive area just outside of Toronto.

I am only 4 minutes in, but LOVE your reaction! THANK YOU! I do not appreciate the preachy lectures from “influencers” like Niki. I DO love the fun atmosphere of smaller channels like yours, Dayle’s, Melinda’s, Amelia’s and others that discuss their love of bags. I remember my fist job working in a coffee shop; several senior citizens were regular customers, and one in particular had some great advice and observations on life. She used to say “There are two things I can’t stand; reformed drinkers and reformed smokers” (because they became holier-than-thou and lectured those who still smoke or drank). And she was so right! We don’t want to hear about your newfound love of abstaining! We want to enjoy our hobby (some may even say a vice, but who cares?!) without condescending lectures! 😊

I love a good reaction video as well! Enjoyed your take on this, love when you pull no punches!

Great video - well articulated. Also, you are *so* saucy, and I'm literally living for it.

One of the best videos on internet. PERIOD. Thnq for making this one. Sending love. ❤❤❤❤❤

OMG you are soooo wonderful in every sarcastic way possible!! I could listen to you talk FOREVER!! 👏🏼👏🏼

It’s basically just a reset. Watch out for all the future "minimalist hauls”.

Here in a US is a common thing for SAs to say its only 2 in the country or its the last one. Its in every store, Saks, Chanel, Naimans all of the luxury stores!!!!

I learnt of this Niki's existence yesterday, from Amelia Rose. Seems she's taken a big ol' dose of the 'enlightenment bandwagon' Koolaid. For clicks. 😏

first time to watch you, love your hoodie!

I watched her video, and my eyes rolled so much that they ended the back of my head 🙄. I'm totally agree with you.

Buying luxury teaches us all important lessons in life. The lessons it has taught me I will take with me for the rest of my life and those lessons are that I love LV and I love Chanel. Another important lesson is that I love the boutique experience and I LOVE my SA! These lessons I will cherish forever. 🤣

This was So funny and true. The comment about ending the video with the church was exactly the vibe I got too. It was a judgmental video wrapped up in a bow.

Her video screams fake and forced tbh… but then again, most of her videos seem forced and clickbait-y or hopping on trends. I noticed it when she did her Birkin unboxing and she titled it “unboxing the rarest handbag in the world” and it was only a Birkin 35 etoupe lol. That’s actually an easy bag to get. I’ve been offered it a few times simply as a walk-in. Then I watched more of her videos and she just seems to do clickbait and forced videos to get more views. There’s also something condescending about her saying she “woke up” or feels more enlightened by getting rid of the few clothes and handbags she has… when there are world leaders and mothers who have done more in their life than her but they still have a large collection of luxury bags, shoes, clothes, etc. What does she even actually do other than being a momfluencer?

Niki sounds like she’s been talking to a therapist! Telling her followers how gullible they are and then to Buy her handbags anyway? Fake AF

So cheeky. Your response is spot on. I could not make it through the videos +Beys... My stomach was starting to churn.

So she was collecting handbags for all the wrong reasons (mainly to show off) it seems 😅 its just funny that now she calls us a herd

Her video was an absolute load of 💩 I couldn’t finish it but again I don’t know that I’ve ever finished any of her videos 🙄 I absolutely agree with everything that you’ve mentioned 💯

When I saw the Anna Bey video couple weeks ago where she criticized luxury closets and then declared she’s moving on I thought it was a one off. Now this Niki Sky that I’ve never heard of.

OMG I loved this! Thank you for saying what I was thinking and for being so funny and entertaining while doing it.

Lol I’m guilty of hoarding discontinued items. I bought out every Maybelline 015 Born with it lipstick on the internet that I could find a couple of years ago🤭

She still has a ton of "stuff". Maybe one day she woke up and realized she's a luxury hoarder who can't possibly wear, or use all that "luuxuuuurrrry" but she won't stop hoarding, it's who she is. Maybe not hoarding stilettos anymore, just hoarding flats now😂

I lost interest the minute I saw expensive stone cladding inside a shoe cabinet. A SHOE cabinet!!!!!!!!

Yes, so tired of those types of videos myself! And they are projecting! I started losing it when you said coming to Jesus moment and church of latter-day Saints lol you had me rolling😂😂😂😂😂! 😂😂

I’m going to need to write that quote down on a whiteboard and draw arrows to try to follow it.

Always love your reaction videos !!

I totally agree with all the points you made. I haven’t watched Niki Sky’s whole video - the clip you showed was enough for me! But I’m heartily sick of these influencers who were prolific over-consumers a week ago, suddenly lecturing about materialism. It won’t surprise me, if in 18 months time, all the stuff they supposedly got rid of starts to re-emerge from storage and they start wearing it all again. Good luck to them all with her epiphanies, but it’s a personal journey, not one they should be preaching to others about.

I agree with everything you’ve said, especially the part about these videos having the potential to be destructive to other people’s self esteem if you’re impressionable. Super random but her video reminded me of a Family Guy episode where Lois jumps on the minimalism trend, throws everything out and then goes crazy as she’s still unhappy but can’t understand why, despite discarding her home and family. I feel that Niki is just replacing one fad for another and soon she’ll be telling us all about the next awakening she’s having.

I just watched her video last night. Nearly asked her in the comments if she was also selling her Cartier love bracelet she was wearing. Chickened out 😂😉

So happy I came across your channel (new sub 😉) Can’t wait to binge your videos haha And I actually have never heard of this person we’re discussing nor have I watched any of her videos lol (maybe bc I’m relatively new to the YT luxury fashion world) but I am so happy that it led to your reaction video showing up on my feed!

What about the house? The cars? Unsubscribed

It’s my issue but also know 1/2 million people are watching so…..

Poor woman is so tiresome and contrived. But you are fabulous!

Great reaction video!!!! I agree with EVERYTHING you said! 👍👍👍 She wanted to be socially accepted through her bags because she is insecure. Now she wants to be socially accepted because of her anti-logo-ism, again, because she still is insecure. And she never loved those pieces to begin with. She just bought what she thought would make her part of a "club" (that actually doesn't exist in real life, but that's the irony). The fact that she said, don't pass on bags, pass on lovely memories to your kids made me roll my eyes. Why not both if one can? Is it either or? Her video was a facepalm marathon for me. In my opinion, she has problems. And it's not the bags.

Yes I watched her video and feel so sick about, I immediately labelled her channel as ‘not interested’ 😂 It seems she kinds of earned enough money from the YT unboxing video from past years, now want to earn from the other ‘Topic’ 😂😂

It’s so weird. I’m a mom, i was never able to afford chanel bags before but recently, i finally was able to splurge on a couple chanel bags for myself for the first time. Felt shameful that i shouldn’t own luxury things cause i’m a mom? I feel like because i’m a mom, i should deserve nice things in life.

The "latter day saints" comment TOOK ME OUT!!!!!!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 and your face after you read that quote at the end 😂😂😂😂😂 i cant stop laughing!

Omg, thank you for saving me time and from a view from her!! Soooo agree!! Love the honesty!

Thank you, Connor! I couldn’t agree more with you. I don’t subscribe to her channel and I rolled my eyes when I saw it come up in my recommended list. These types of videos from KZfaqrs come off to me as heavy on virtue signaling, and at times, subtly scolding people for not making the same life choices as they are. I think you made a point that her doing this is based on her own insecurity and that’s the position she’s giving this “advice” from. Not everyone who buys luxury is like her or has these hang-ups, and that’s definitely where I’m at!

What in the hell is she going to fill her massive closet with now 🤷‍♀️ its bigger than my house!

lol omg that quote! My yoga teacher uses that one! How embarrassing 😂

Thank you! My exact thoughts! I don´t know her and haven´t watched her videos before this was suggested to me, but she came out so self righteous. And the only thing I'm left with (besides the quote that I can´t wrap my head around bc neither the sentence construction nor the surposed meaning makes any sence), is that if you've found your truth, how about you just live it? As in silence. As in actions speak louder than words? Why do you need the world to know - unless you´re looking for validation once more. Which shows me that you´re not where you claim to be.

I couldn’t even get through a few seconds of her video because it totally felt like a cult video.

Ha! I love this reaction. I completely agree. My close friends and family think I’m crazy with my handbag obsession, so my purchases are certainly not to impress them. It’s for me!! And yes, I plan to pass all my bags onto my daughter, but she’s 21 and loves bags also and it’s never been a justification for me to buy a bag.

A year from now she will have rebought everything she has sold.

Great responses and I knew you would be doing a video on this 😊💙!

I agree with the shut up! I felt that when I watched it.

OMGGGGGGG IM LITERALLY ON THE FLOOR 😂😂😂😂 There are too many things I wanna reiterate that you said quote wise!!! But you’ll have to excuse me because I wet my pants laughing!!! So I’m gonna leave and eat my steak eye fillet in peace😂😂😂😂 You nailed it babe 💋

Aww I actually agree with you Connor, you know we don’t have the best past, but I seen this video and just clicked on it and I’ve been letting it play in the background as I’m doing things around the house and I’ve been listening and this is a great video. glad you made it and you have changed my mind about you. Sorry for any problems in the past. Have a great weekend. Wish you well. And I’m subscribing to your channel now! ❤

Thank you for speaking up and reacting to all that nonsense talk 😘

Even tho my closet is 90% thrifted i wouldn't jump on getting rid of it coz i love them. I appreciate all of them

Conner’s Sunday roast (let’s ignore the time difference for the purpose of my metaphor). You need a carvery themed poster for these 😂

I am so glad someone is addressing this BS video... I never liked her video because she is one of those influencers saying--certain things are do over-done and you shouldn't wear this or that anymore... That video made me cringe... Have this moment in silence. I don't want to attack her but I can never get through her videos for that reason. She's like Lydia Millen. I enjoyed her videos when I first started to watch--then she turned into this perfect little english countryside girl... Kate Middleton wannabe. Trying way too hard...

So much respect to you for saying out loud the things we are thinking. 👏👏👏

This was the best reaction video on point in general when you don’t curse ur videos are enjoyable

Absolutely agree just going from one extreme to another.

Very well said. My eye rolling has been the most exercise I have gotten in a while.

Subscribed ! Because I totally agree with you on the de-luxing fiasco & because you also have a mom-monogram/ LV my heritage ❤.

Yes, I remember watching a movie about a young nun and then all of a sudden I wanted to become a nun fast forward to high school as wild as hell now eight kids later and marriage of 30 years anyhow I did buy a few things from her closet, which everything was priced super low, which is crazy because when I buy things from the Kardashians closet, it's like prices can be doubled of retail

I make a shopping splurge once in a while especially during sales. The joy of feeling the sense of abundance as a result of of ample research and discipline lasts me a decade till my next splurge… if my means permits 😌

Hahahaha! Chess geek offspring! Another really great video, and such good points ❤😂

I adore you and your laugh! Thanks for the reaction video. 😂

In other words she's simply "re-branding" or re-vamping her channel. I don't want to doubt that she has less superficial desires now that she has kids---- BUT there is something oddly sus about her move..... Glad you did this video to put into question Sky's motives.

What's even stranger is all of her followers, followers of a channel that promotes luxury bags, clothes and jewellery, cheering her on. Isn't luxury what they were there for from the beginning? Truely a cult if they just follow in whever direction the wind blows her. What's the reason for this? Are they happy that she got rid of everything and is now one of them? Twisted.

Thanks for this VDO. This is make me feel! Yes! I just love the design I’m happy I buy it. It doesn’t make me look labels have logo or not logo! Well it showed that what is “shallow” means!
