Capucine gives me Kate Spade vibes. I like Kate Spade but not for 7K lol

I love my neverfull but you’re right it’s not a $2000 bag. I got mine before the price increase and paid $1690. The last price increase was huge and I think that’s why so much canvas is in stock now. When I bought my neverfull, I had to stalk the site for weeks to get the exact print and interior color I wanted. Now the neverfull is in stock online in every color combination all the time.

I couldn’t agree with you more! The quality of LV is not what it used to be. I bought my first Neverfull GM and speedy 35 10 years ago when it was less than $1000. And then I purchased a few SLG pieces and speedy 30s in both mono and damier in 2017 for less than $800 each of course because I purchased it when I traveled to Paris. The quality does not match the price today. I would never purchase a neverfull for $2000 today. They have lost their minds! It is crazy that people are saying that some of these mirror replicas are better in quality than the authentic ones. They don’t have to do better either because people will continue to purchase. Sad. I’m good with my collection, and I am done until they get it together.

Thank you for the update. The reason why the vintage market has become popular due to the quality of several luxury designer brands.

Love these honest reviews. We are in a hyper inflation/recession and ain't nobody got time for quality issues on a bag the price of a used car...

I’m so thankful for your videos. I had a Neo Noe (online purchase) that was experiencing glazing issues after just a few months. I ran across one of your older videos about LV bags that you shouldn’t buy. Thanks to you I learned that I could likely exchange that particular bag by taking it to the store prior to one year of purchase. Neo Noe has known quality issues. I exchanged it in-store with no issues and paid a few extra dollars for the LV GM Loop (which I LOVE). If it wouldn’t have been for your video, I’d still be stuck with my stripped & glazed Neonoe. 😩💗

Spot on about the TWIST, my strap disconnected as the rivet broke and I had the bag less than a year with hardly anything in it. Because it was less than a year and clearly a quality issue, LV gave me a new one.

I was never into LV, but your videos just confirm my reasons why!!

Love your opinions and you’ve taught me so much about this brand. A big thank you for the heads up on the pochette Métis in canvas as this was going to be my purchase but I decided on the black empreinte leather and it’s just beautiful.

This! This is the content we need. Greatly appreciated :)

I have the Neverfull and I use the daylights out of it for traveling. I bought it in HI last year before the price increase so I felt good about the price. I wouldn’t do so now, though. I would buy it preloved. I had the Pochette Métis but in regular monogram - loved it but sold it to purchase another bag. It was a great cross body bag and I regret selling it.

I actually had the pochette Métis in leather like the one you have and within six months it completely lost the impressions on the back and was extremely flat on the bottom front. I was so disappointed however Louis Vuitton did let me pick a new bag that had a much better impression and it’s been goin strong for over 3 years now.

I bought my NF back in ‘08 for like 800 or so. I was sooo in love. It never really was used until I started traveling. It’s been my travel workhorse ever since

You killed all popular LV bags🤣 I do not have quality issues with any of my bags, using them regularly, but was fun to watch

You’re right about the Never Full Tote. My husband bought it for me when it was @ $900. I rarely use it anymore. The strap digs into my skin. I could but see myself spending $2k on that bag. As for the Pochette Métis Reverse, it’s one of my favorite bags. I’ve had mine for 3 years and I love it! I don’t use it all the time so maybe that’s why I haven’t had any issues with it. My Palm Springs Mini backpack is my go-to bag. 12:28

I purchased the Never full years ago. I think it was almost 1800. LV increase in price over time. The Never full has to be my fave as far as comfort out of all my LV’s. It’s a perfect travel and on the go bag. My most recent is the Neonoe in all black embossed. Haven’t had any issues with it so far. It’s a year old now. I love it.

I’ve had my canvas neonoe for nearly 5 years now and I’ve had no issues with freaying or it losing it shape. That being said it’s not my everyday bag it’s kept in its dustbag in the box when I’m not using it.

I have the neo noe in black empreinte and i love it! So far no issues with the shape and I have had it about a year and half. I had the Neverfull in turtledove and had to exchange due to yellowing. I exchanged for pm in navy/red!

I’ve never had an issue with my Neverfull GM, but then again, I bought it 10+ years ago when the quality was better and the price was half of what it is now. And yes, it’s NOT worth $2K.

Love bellefinery 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.

It’s always nice to get advice from you and hear your thoughts great video 💖💕💕

Teach ’em! I agree about the Neo Noe. I had to exchange it 3 times when the first came out bc the glazing a long the top was coming off or the bottom stitching was crooked. The last time I exchanged it, I got the black epi version and 4 years later, it still looks new!

I almost bought a capucines this summer. I did not like the glazing, and I questioned if they had had any problems with it. For whatever reason, I just didn’t do it. I am so glad. It was 7500. Also, I have a neo noe for over a year, and for me no issues with it. It’s in damier ebene with saffron interior. Now the pochette metis…I have bought and sold that bag so many times, it’s ridiculous. So many issues with it. For the price point now, absolutely not worth it. It’s a bag I want to love, I love the look. But there’s so many things about it that are so fussy… The biggest issue for me with the glazing. Now I just don’t like bags that have a lot of glazing. I look for stitched edges instead. Also the S-lock had so many issues. Thanks for sharing!

Pretty earrings my friend! Me and my friends were at LV Bloomingdale’s South Coast yesterday and we were looking at Capucines coz my friend wanted to see it. $7k plus for a beige with exotic handle…I talked her out of it and instead told her to consider Christian Dior, more beautiful!

I bought my Monogram noe noe with black lining back in 2015 and the stitching and glazing of the bag fell apart badly. Even the SA at LV was surprised at how bad it looked when I wore it in one day.

I got my neverfull when they were 1690. I thought that was too much. I do like the pouch that comes with it.

Current advisor here. 🙋🏻‍♂️Day and night I always suggest to clients empreinte is the way to go compared to canvas especially for the Metis no matter how many updates it's received over the years, and with canvas prices creeping up close to leather prices, it's a no brainer. I don't even discuss Neverfull unless someone is looking for a work bag and OTG isn't their cup of tea. Don't come for my Capucines, though. 😭 💀

I love my speedys and my neverful but I bought mine for about $1200 years ago. They are all in perfect condition. But they’re all 5-10 years old so possibly were made with better quality. I have heard the Métis in monogram was having issues so I bought the leather one as well. I really want a Coussin but don’t think it’s worth it. Great video!

I have had my speedy 30 since 1988. Yes, that's correct 1988. It's been through the snow, rain, heat, and wind. I was 19 yrs old at the time. Now, 53 yrs old and my work horse bag is doing well. It's my work bag now. So my suggestion is go vintage. I have had the vachetta replace only twice by LV. And it was decades in between. The canvas has never ever been a problem on this bag. Go vintage.

Thanks for your honesty. I would not carry the Capucine because I think that it looks like an "old lady bag"...I can say that because I am an old lady, and I'm too young to carry that bag.

I bought 3 NV before prices increase. I don’t know why I went back to buy again. I love that it come with the small bag.

Excellent video. My wife wanted the Neverfull and I bought her the Gucci Ophidia Tote in Navy instead.

I bought a never full in 2013,I had it maybe 6 months and sold it,it was just not for me,I paid I think 1,000.So long story short,I have let go of all my Louis,except my Speedy 35 Damier.Just not feeling them anymore.Not to say I would not buy another Louis again.Subscribed as soon as you said you were a Louis SA,credibility,thankyou!

I got back from Italy in November and picked up the Twist in the solid color Taupe and you are correct WE ARE GETTING ROBBED in the USA!! I get it it’s because of all the taxes. After getting my VAT back I spent about $3200 compared to $4700+your state tax. It would be about $5000 where I live. I have actually bought three other LVs last year when I traveled through Europe. I also get way better service there compared to my mall. They are very generous in perfume samples too.

So happy I got my NV over a decade ago for well under 1K! It has held up, looks great and I love traveling with it! I would not spend 2K on it.

I recently sold my Coussin. The gold strap was sooooo uncomfortable on my shoulder. The strap was what really attracted me to it initially. Love this video! Thank you

Enjoyed the video! I concur as an American living in Germany we as Americans are being ripped off!! LV is so much cheaper in Europe! The import taxes we pay in America increases purse prices by 35%! Plus taxes. You are much better off buying a plane ticket enjoy a nice European vacation and purchase a bag!❤

I have the Neo in black leather and I love her! Much better than the canvas imo

I got my neverfull bag in Vegas 6 years ago. I'm going to pass it down to my daughter, it was way cheaper back then.

Oh the neverfull! I paid about $1000 3 years ago when I got my GM in Europe. I wouldn’t pay current US prices. She isn’t an everyday bag for me. Also, my first ever LV bag was a Damier Azure neverfull MM. Got it back in 2001 and it was $820 😫 my only regret is not getting it in the GM.

I got the Métis reverse 2 yrs ago and I’ve had no issues so far . I don’t wear it much in the summer so maybe that’s why I’ve had no issues .

The neverfull Gm was my very first bag. I sold it last week and got all my money back after 3 years of having it. It was in like new condition. The money is better in my account.

Great video! Thanks so much for sharing this information with us! Will you be doing the video that you mentioned where you share the bags that you do recommend from LV?

I love your channel for LV and coffee content! Can you give a quick tutorial on how to tie a scarf on your handle? I see you PM in the background and love they way you have the scarf tied.

I have one my daughter gifted to me for my birthday. She only buy LV for herself she said quality not like it was twenty five years ago, the price not worth it anymore to her.

I have been stalking the Malle Fleur for over a year, but recently I saw it in store and the hardware was tarnished. Why they left it on display evades me, but I’m glad. Not paying all that money for something that will be gross so fast in the hardware.

I love your eyeshadow, ❤ it is a beautiful color. 👍🏼

I have the never full gm in damier ebenne it’s 6 years old now and I have put it through hell it still looks almost new absolutely love it .I also purchased the keychain pouch same print which has come apart at least 4 x within a year with light use They fixed it each time and it would happen again within 2 months not happy with that purchase at all ! I got rid of the pouch and bought the 6 ring key holder which has given me no problems

Louis Vuitton's prices are, quite frankly, ridiculous. 🙄 I would never pay face value for any of them here or abroad. I have eleven LV bags/bumbags and I purchased eight of them from either consignment shops or estate sales in Palm Beach/Boca Raton, Florida. I got my bags for at least 45% off of their original purchase prices. The other three were gifts and two of them are now considered vintage (large Bucket Bag (2000) and Papillon 30 (2006). Fortunately, all of my bags still look very nice and I've only had to make minimal repairs to them. I started hearing about the quality issues for various bags back in 2014.

Thank you for the tea 🫖😁. No LV this Christmas and that’s ok LOL

No fraying on my neonoe and I have had it for a couple of years. However my hairdressers frayed and they gave her a brand new one immediately which was great customer service.

I have 2 NF and Pochette Metis in emperiente monogram leather. I love them 💗

That’s why I love pre-loved because it’s a better quality and really pretty love. Isn’t that cheap anymore?

Yup i returned my org pochette metis 3 yrs after purchasing because it started melting, i got it all over my hands and clothes 😢 good thing LV was willing to replace/refund/exchange it for its current value!

I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be *luxdups* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.

My Neo Noe in canvas is coming up to 4 yrs old now and it’s been one - still is - of my favourite bags. It’s my version of a tote bag. If I’m not using it for a while I do open it up and stuff with air papers. Maybe that has helped but looks as good as the day it was purchased. I have a couple of SLGs in Empriente but finding the leather rather dry so I’m not sure about buying a bag in it. It does look lovely though. My Epi Alma is also going great!

omgggg thank YOU for this video, great info to know 💚💚 happy new year 🥂

I have the black empreinte Pochette Métis like you do. My absolute fave!

The Neverfull strap is also so short! Such a struggle to get in over my shoulder with my winter coat on:( LV needs to make longer straps as everyone in not the same size…my gf had to buy a strap from elsewhere to wear her bag crossbody.

I have the same Metis as you. Two neverfull mm in mono & DE, also a neo noe. I have way more LV than these so they don’t get used often but no problems so far 🙏🏼

I was looking at the denim Neverfull from the recent Cruise Collection. While I liked the look of it I realized I’m still not really a tote person. More so, I’m not a luxury tote person. I love my denim Marc Jacobs The Tote in denim. I have that same Hermès twilly. I use it on one of my Speedys.

I have Epi Neverfull don't regret buying it. Purchased it in London works well and understated.

I just discovered your channel today and glad I did. Can you give me your opinion on the LV Graceful PM in monogram? I love that bag and thinking about getting it.

The prices are very high, the quality lacking. Thank you for confirming my my love of Vintage Louis Vuitton. There are some new styles I do like such as the Odion Tote with black leather. I do not wish to purchase defective material. I appreciated your video.

I own two Capucines and love mine. The Neverfull in canvas is way overpriced! I love them tho! Thank you for the video!

I paid 1200 for my never full over 5 yrs ago and I would never spend 2000+ on it ! It’s not worth that price for sure

I like to purchase vintage LV bags. I bought my Neverfull for $700 pre-owned. I still get offers for it. The bag was made in 2007. My speedy 35 I paid $700. I will never buy brand new.

We looked at the Neverfull 3 years ago in Verona on our honeymoon. My husband got it for me this year at Christmas as a surprise anniversary gift. MY GOD THE PRICE INCREASE 😳

Oh No I got this exact bag the Reverse PM I got it over the summer and it still seems fine🤞🤞🤞

My dear, thank you for this video. I bought Neverfull MM Damier Azur, BIG MISTAKE ! I returned it and I changed for POCHETTE MÉTIS REVERSE MONOGRAM, failure big. Finally I could negotiate with my SA and changed for Speedy B 20 black

I agree specially with Never Full. I hate that style. Made of canvass, thin handles and not something you can wear to formal occasions. For me it’s a bag when u go to grocery or gym.

Great video! I agree with regarding all of the handbags on your list.

I recently purchased the NF and Neo Noe 😮 I hope nothing will happen to it. I love the Neo Noe more though and I always trust my SA she very good if I have any problems with my bags.

I have metallic monogram flower Capucine mm. My bag has never been folded. I like the bag cause it looks like Kelly. I am waiting to receive my new gold Togo Birkin to compare how the leather feels between LV and Hermès.

I bought the neverfull four years ago and paid $1000 for it. I used it everyday for my work tote and absolutely love it but the price increase is crazy high. What other tote bags do you recommend?

I LOVE all of your handbag content. If you could recommend 2 all leather black bags from any fashion house other than the PM which ones would you recommend please?

Thanks for these suggestions. Can you discuss LV exotics and the process for custom exotics?

I bought the Neverfull for $750.00 when it first came out.

I have the Neo noe for 5 years and the pochette Métis for 2 years (it’s after the new release of the current PM that have the canvas extend all the way down the back of the bag) but no such issues with what you have mentioned.

So glad I stumble upon this video. Was thinking about getting a monogram Métis, but I think I’ll pass now. 😂

Great video. Thanks for sharing

ahhh so obsessed with LV bags recently! I have that bag that doesn't keep it's structure and I also feel like it's hard to fit a lot in it

Another chain that actually shattered was the one on my LV Favorite Empriente. It happened right in front of the SA when I went in about having trouble with getting the chain off . They replaced it and I turned around and sold the bag a few weeks later. I just couldn’t!

I HATE the new chain on the newer twists. 😅 I much prefer the older models.

I have a Neo Noe and I love it. Hopefully it doesn’t have those issues down the line

I ALMOST bought the pochette metis in reverse monogram. I was legit at the store already but for some reason I was like eeehhh, probably not hahaha I have the Pochette metis in black empreinte and I am soooo glad I got that one and not the reverse monogram.

I got mine for $2300 tax incl.😞 Last September 2022. I really wanted to get it for cheaper bec people were saying they got theirs way less yeeeeears ago🤣 but when I scout the second hand market, people are selling it bet 1000-1500 and not in a condition I was willing to pay for and not enough guarantee that it's authentic so yeah since I was late to the lux game, I have it on my record at LV so in case if future repairs I don't have to worry. Happy owner though😄.

Yes, all true. My neo noe had the fraying issue and LV, returned my money; however, I selected the pouchette Métis in the reverse monogram. If a glazing issue occur, I will return it. Question, why is the glazing issue different on the pouchette Métis leather vs canvas?

Looking at the price!! It just crazy how expensive it now. The twist used to be around 3K now it 5k?!!that just crazy

I had no idea the glazing on the reverse pochette Métis was a real thing! I thought it was just mine!!

I got my neverfull way back when the price was still decent under $1000 at the Louis Vuitton store. I will never sell it prices now are getting ridiculous 😅

I love neverfull bag and on the go I do not like speddy bag .

I adore my black Epi neverful. Love love love it. My capuccines I bought less than a year ago, used once, kept in my closet, the back is sagging slightly. So so so sad. $7k. I love my dauphine mini. Thinking about getting a Métis again. 😂

I love my Neverfull mm…however it tends to feel very heavy and make your shoulders hurt because the straps are too thin. So I will use it for a day or 2 then switch it up

I stopped buying brand new LV because canvas def isn’t worth the price increase. I mean the quality for what it is WORTH….only USED. For half or less than is when I’ll buy it. From Japanese sellers typically. I just won’t buy a new LV anymore. I’ve purchased the speedy 30, rivoli (bc I couldn’t get the turenne at the time) and a lot of SLGs. Now it’s used or not at all especially with the recent quality. Yeh, 10-15 years ago it was great and worth the lower price tag. Now, the increase and shitty lower quality? Nahhhh When I bought my speedy 30, it was $625….so yeah! It’s been a long time.

I bought my neverfull 11 years ago, I paid $900!!! $900!!! Along with the cosmetic bag, it came to $1300.

Im a New Subbie! Thank you so much for this video. I was just about to purchase the pochette metis in the reverse canvas. The leather version, for some reason, it doesn't WOW me.

my neverfull i had a month had issues that you mentioned and then some. its been at lv repair for 3 months already. disgraceful since with tax it cost me $2.300 ripp off!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I have my neverfull from about 9 years ago now. I’d never buy one today.

The Capucine has a great look new, but I do not think that it stacks up with wear and tear like other bags at that price point. I also think they should make it seem a bit more exclusive/special. One of the large boutiques by me has so many Capucines including exotics all through out the store and it just does not feel special compared to H and C approach of only putting a few on display.
