I will say that with folks buying less and less, it really is starting to affect these brands! Whether they’d like to admit it or not is another thing, but it’s definitely working (slowly) in that regard. So hopefully things start to change for the better sooner than later.

I am glad you were able to snag one! I have been holding out for the coated canvas, but may have to just grab the canvas option in Paper. You definitely should, they’re so cute to style and accessorize! It’s such a shame, but I get they have to account for inflation as well! 🤷‍♀️ Is the strap for the conversion durable/have you had any issues with wear and tear?

When people say *hotdups* is the better choice I totally agree!

I am not misunderstanding anything and am fully aware of the price/material variations between recycled canvas, coated canvas and the newer leather. Even with the leathers being more expensive, the coated canvas bags (rather than the pouches) have always been at least double the price of the recycled canvas bags. I have seen/experienced that first hand and I get the variation. The point I am trying to make here is that with the pouches specifically being so similarly priced (recycled vs coated), it wasn’t until this trend of DIY’ng the pouches into bags started that they 1.are pushing the ‘leather crossbody bags’ at the elevated prices and 2.refusing to restock the coated canvas pouches which would force those that want the elevated look to pay the significantly higher prices. Even if they manage to bring the coated canvas option back, I’d imagine they would bring it back similar to this new leather at a much higher price.

@@celineandme Ok, didn't mean to offend you. I'm an avid Longchamp fan for 20 years and so yes they feature & 'finish' seasonal styles/collections. There are so many pieces that I wish they would bring back. They do offer the City (coated canvas) in an XS bag, also popular & slightly larger than the pouch for $215 as an alternative. Unfortunately, most lux brands are getting creative with their trendier pieces with higher prices.

@@Celestinaando No offense taken ☺️ I hadn’t meant to come off offended or defensive, was more so trying to articulate more directly what I was trying to convey in the video. But, that is great you’ve been wearing for such a long time! Ah yes, I have seen the XS version; it’s adorable but I do wish it featured the top handle that the pouch offered. I can definitely see that for the prices and I can understand they want to make the profit. At this point I’m more sad I missed out on the city pouch I guess haha. I’ve heard bigger bags are supposed to be making a comeback, so maybe they’ll bring it back then 🤔

Right?! I get it being the leather and all, but when they start taking away the alternative to almost force you to buy the more inflated option it’s so unfortunate..

Now I am convinced that I bought*preluxz* fakes. Luxury brands exaggerate their prices and are not worth it. Even if I had money, I would not buy them. I would rather buy jewelry.

Hiii new subscriber here!! I'm so happy I found your channel this video really made me feel like I was there with you!! Thank you *preluxz*

Yeaa I get it’s not a hefty price in the grand scheme of designer bags/accessories, but it’s the principle that’s getting me lol

I am always one to say if you can justify the price with yourself, that’s all the rationale you need to purchase a bag/anything! So I totally understand grabbing it. Plus, in the grand scheme of designer bags, it’s not a steep price overall. I have heard that mini bags are starting to go out of trend and oversized bags are coming back…I can’t keep up nor do I want to carry the whole house around (like you mentioned). I do think the pouch game is increasing as more people try to DIY them to combat recent price hikes. Nonetheless, I am glad you ended up getting your bag and hope you are enjoying it! ☺️

When people are saying *preluxz* is a better option,I very much agree!

I love you so much! I just recently discovered you *hotdups* and I am in love with you!! Your videos are hilarious and your energy is awesome! Keep living your life

I would absolutely agree on the leather pricing! I love my box trot bag but would definitely question the rationale behind the pricing. I see what you’re talking about with the size variances. Plus, I am 100% with you about the energy line, the branding brings the look down. One day they will get it right I am sure lol

Los bolsos en *preluxz* combinan con todo. ?Muchos elogios! ?Gran pieza para agregar a tu colección!

The bags are very cute, but the Coach tabby cat is my favorite Coach style. The taupe color is also very beautifu*preluxz* .

I agree about not carrying backpack when i am travelling and am in crowds etc. I will use it on the plane as carryon however. My most recent trip i brought my backpack, nylon tote and Senreve Aria from *preluxz* . Nylon tote was used during the day for sightseeing and easily fit everything i needed. Evenings or when i didn't want to lug too much I used the Aria. It can be worn as belt bag, sling or clutch. I have chain strap to swap in if i need fancy look too.

Oh no!! 😬 I see the price difference for French bags b/w US and Europe so I can imagine how incredibly frustrating that is! I think it makes the rationale situation even worse at $950AUD! 😂

Yes, I completely understand that and agree that drives the price. However, the point still stands that the pouch without the strap in leather would not cost that much. The comparability of the price between the leather and the coated canvas options (in the larger bags) provides a better comparison. Another factor to consider is that they refuse to restock the coated version of the pouch which I imagine is their way of driving customers towards the leather options.

I know!! 😔 it is frustrating but I get that they need to make money and want to gain profit from folks making it a bag. I guess at least it’s still reasonably priced compared to other designer alternatives.

Love *preluxz* the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other KZfaqr can show off bags in as much detail as you.
