Here's where we talk about all things luxury shopping! Unboxings, shopping vlogs, reviews, tips and tricks, the business models behind running brands like Hermes/Chanel/Gucci, etc, my general thoughts, and more!
THE REAL REASON LUXURY SALES ARE DOWN: LUXURY BRANDS HAVE RUINED THE LUXURY SHOPPING EXPERIENCE
Let’s talk about the REAL reasons why luxury sales are down and luxury sales have been steadily declining over the past year or so. Luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci, Fendi, Hermes, and Saint Laurent need to take accountability for how they’ve honestly kind of ruined the luxury shopping experience in several different aspects that’s made it almost impossible shop. There’s the overall exclusivity, lack of online shopping availability, intimidating shopping sales associates, scarce showrooms with low inventory stock levels, and terrible logistics/delivery timing, and more. I think these reasons have made it so difficult for us to spend our money with luxury brands, and that’s why luxury sales keep declining quarter over quarter. (Not the economy, not the political climate). So let’s talk (er, rant) about it.
What do you think about my thoughts behind what’s wrong with luxury shopping at the moment? Whether you agree or disagre, I want to hear your thoughts, so please drop them in a comment below. Thanks so much for watching 💚

Lv website canceled my order. Customer support could not place an order on the phone. In store no problem.
Very helpful! Thank you!
💯
If I order from LV sometime it’s takes over a week for delivery ❤
If Amazon can do 1 or 2 day (and same day!) shipping, I think LV could speed that up a bit 🙃 Right?
There are ebbs and flows in the luxury sector. Some of these fashion houses date back to the 19th century. They’ll likely figure it out, so all the handwringing and super reactionary videos claiming ‘LUXURY IS DEAD!1!1!!’ is kinda silly.
That’s fair. Buttt, the numbers don’t lie. I do think these luxury brands need to evolve and keep up with the great customer experience that more contemporary brands are providing, otherwise they might be left behind.
Omg you have this down 100% all these things I have experienced it’s super annoying to be stuck with an SA. Sometimes they are just talking talking talking way tooooooo much sharing personal crap I don’t want to hear !
Aww I hate to say it but this is true-some do overshare a bit 🙈🙈! Glad you enjoyed the vid ☺️
I find it interesting on how different luxury boutioperate so differently. For example, if I see something on the website and want my local SA to have the commission and text her to order it for me, I am charged shipping. If I order it from another SA I've started working with in another part of the country, it is shipped to me free of charge. I started shopping at this other boutique in my frustration with the constant lack of merchandise in my local boutique. I miss going in just to look around. Now I feel I must have a specific item in mind to purchase when I make my appointment with my local SA or I'm wasting her time if I just want to browse and see items in person. While I was on vacation, I fel
Omg I feeeel this. Make it make sense 🫠🫠🫠
A very good video!! 💕💖 Thank you! I agree with you on so many levels! I believe that many of the brands are lying. I don’t believe that they don’t have inventory. Many ex Sale Associates have turned into whistle blowers and have admitted that for example, at Hermès stores, the basements are full with Birkins, Kellys etc, in different colors and sizes. I guess that they all just want to create this illusion of scarcity and exclusivity. 🤷♀️
I’m so glad you enjoyed it ☺️! Oh I have no doubt that Hermes has some bags in stock 🙃 but it’s so interesting that others brands are trying to follow suit-almost to their detriment 😅
@ Totally! I (kinda) understand the approach of Hermès, but it is kinda ridiculous that other brands which are not in the same level, are doing it aswell… Especially when it comes to footwear or clothing… 🫠🤦♀️
Totally agree!! Like, I’m not willing to stress over a sweater 😂
I’m a last minute shopper! 😂 I hate making appointments with my SA’s. Personally the fun was to just wake up and decide to go shopping, I also ended up finding my best pieces that way. Now, it’s not fun, the perks don’t even make it for me, I’m still stuck in a system that doesn’t work for my shopping style. And quite frankly the rtw is the most frustrating part, no wonder I barely buy it. I prefer to shop online now, I don’t need the non experience that luxury boutiques are offering now. I have more fun with the contemporary brands for my clothes.
I know exactly what you mean! I’d much rather just go shopping without having to deal with appointments and scheduling and all that extra admin work 😔
Luxury brands are for broke people. I agree with the annoying sales associate concept but luxury brands are a scam. It’s also not safe to carry a Chanel or Birkin anymore. Robberies are running rampant. I’d rather have my 10k in investments than on a bag. I’ve sold almost all my luxury designer bags with the exception of 2 classic flaps.
Interesting take!
I appreciate your perspective as a customer. Luxury fashion companies prefer to cut spendng on operations. The budget is more flexible for marketing, merchandising, and shows, but they are always looking to save on operations. The understaffing and limited resources and options available to operations personnel is a problem and contracting/outsourcing usually creates larger issues (the explanation would be an essay haha). Unfortunately, as essential as supply chain is to any luxury fashion company, it is not a source of revenue but one of the largest costs and they want to spend as little as possible. Also sustainability initiatives are an ever increasing factor as many companies are reorganizing to do their part.
💯 Yes you are absolutely spot on with all of this! And it’s crazy because once upon a time, I worked for an off-price company, so of course our standard shipping was a bit slower bc we wanted to save money. It’s wild to me that these luxury brands do the same. Gotta make those profits somehow I guess 🙃
this is on point. how are you not working in fashion marketing???
Why thank you 😊 I’ve actually been recruited to work for a number of fashion brands (including some mentioned on this channel 🙃), and in my heart I’d love to get back to fashion. But sadly, their pay is quite low vs the market rate. I’ll stick with my tech money 🤑
Hey Lily! I’ve been a follower for a few months now, and I would love to see videos on that air, mask, stolen experience, and something about your experience as a shoe buyer I had no idea how awesome!
Hi Riley! You’re always such a sweetie 🥰 Here’s a video on the stolen item: ua-cam.com/video/5JiRYZyHeWE/v-deo.html and I’ve thought about doing a video talking about my old job as a shoe buyer, but just wasn’t sure if anyone would want to see since it was a little over 10 years ago 🙃 So good to know!! 💙
@@LilyShops Well I certainly do! Regardless of how long ago, I’m sure a lot of it is still very relevant today
Do you have any recommendations on where to buy a used Kelly wallet that is reduced in price?
Yes! Fashionphile is one of my fave pre-loved sites bc they have 1- constantly new assortment, 2- very fair pricing (and discounts/sales), and 3- a great return policy 🙌🏽 You can also reach out if you want a more in-depth video of something to help you decide if you want to buy or not. I’ve purchased from them at least 10 times over the years-definitely recommend.
@ thanks so much for the recommendation I will do some research and check them out : )
Totally agree! Love the rant!! Such a different experience now and for the worst :( I miss the spontaneity of a luxury "drop in" day. Now my luxury purchases are more planned and not as fun. I think most luxury houses make it much harder to purchase and inventory is bad. I love my luxury shopping but it's not the same!
I’m so glad I’m not alone! I so miss my spontaneous luxury shopping days too 🥲 It’s just such a PROCESS now 🫠🫠 Le sigh!
This was a very informative video. I can relate to trying on clothes and they want you to buy what you tried on instead of getting a new item from the back. Also, don’t get me started about shoes - I do not buy what I tried on, that’s always a no for me.
💯 I totally agree!! I seriously miss the days of “getting a fresh one from the back” 🥲
I am not ever going to prioritize purchasing luxury (although I love watching videos of those who do), and what I do purchase tends to mostly be preloved. I do agree that as an infrequent buyer, I feel intimidated going in store. I am very much a browse, go home and think about it, then go back and buy later person so it is not an ideal shopping experience for me. Having said that, I do occasionally buy. Having someone assigned doesn't feel luxurious to me. It just feels like a sales tactic to get me to buy more than I want. I get that some people love the personal attention, but as a fellow introvert, I like to do my own thing but have sales associates available when I do want to ask questions.
I wish I could like this a thousand times over 🙌🏽 yes yes yes!
You are such a good observer and literally took the words of out my mouth. I lament my SAs do not know my 'style' well. I still prefer shopping in person so that I know what I take home and not have to reject imperfections. If SAs can't understand the basics by knowing their clients' preference, their income can only rise and fall with the economy.
Exactly! The ones who really understand my style and preferences are so hard to come by, so when I find them, I hang on tight 🙃
It's too dangerous to wear it. Now that Trump has been elected, we may be able to return to what it used to be.
true!
Interesting take!
Trump is the biggest liar in history! I don't understand how anyone would support a convicted criminal, rapist, crook, con, racist, narcist, bigot, bully, deranged lunatic, sinner, narcist, arrogance, conceitedness, pride, entitlement, pathelogical liar, inciting violence, hate, division, chaos, fear mongering, destruction, misogynist, chouvanist, antagonist, supremacist, white nationalist, demigod, extremist, authoritarian, derangement lunatic, dictator, facist, Anti-Christ!
Thanks for watching 🩷🩷 What do you think about the luxury shopping experience these days--still worth it?
Since you laid out the reasons to like this video, I will like it (and subscribe).
You’re a real one, Doug 🥰 Welcome to the fam 💃🏽
Things people will waste money on is crazy. Bags, jewelry, house I get but this stuff is nuts. I remember years ago seeing a chair in a kids room that just looked like a bunch of stuffed animal on it come to find out it was a $75000.00 chair. What!!!!!
That chair better FLY ✈️😂☠️
Thank you for your transparency. You are lucky that Kelly to go is counted for prespend 🎉.
You are so welcome 🥰! And yess feeling very fortunate all-around 🙌🏽!
Hi I know what you mean , the prices are so getting higher and more and more expensive, 😮I’m going to save this year , and see how much I can save this year , 😅😅😅😅 but thanks for the vlog very interesting
These prices never stop going up 😅😅 So glad you enjoyed it though 🩵
Kelly pochette? ❤
So I haven’t been able to find a confirmed 2025 Kelly pochette number (I looked extensively bc it’s one of my faves too), but since a swift KP was $6,400 in 2024, assuming a 6% lift to keep in line with other quota bags, my forecast is that it’ll be around $6,700-$6,800 now 🥲 Sounds like we have similar tastes though!! Lets keep our fingers crossed we can both snag a KP or KC🤞🏽
@@LilyShops Yes, fingers crossed <3 for us both!
Any idea regarding Kelly Cut? ❤
It’s funny you ask, bc just a few days ago I was researching to see if KCut is still in production, (after all of the discontinuation rumors a while back). Apparently it’s “unofficially discontinued”, and most stores are saying they don’t have any on order, but one could randomly appear from time to time. Long story short-very rare, so the information isn’t shared when Hermes does their pricing updates. I’m sorry 😔
Oh no 😢I would love to add one to my collection 🙏🏽hope it comes back ❤thank you for replying so fast.
You are so welcome! I’d love one too-let’s keep our fingers crossed, we may get lucky one day 🙃
@@LilyShops yes, 100% :)
Wait!! I thought hermes said they dont have a pre spend requirement?? Its a wish list.. or is that just what say
Well you can technically get one without spending, but instances of that happening are fewer and fewer lately. So not impossible, but also not very likely, you know?
I want a Kelly 32 but I haven't had the guts to mention it to my SA. I just keep buying my little scarves, haha.
Omg Anna! You should def mention it to them! Since a lot of people are after smaller sizes, I bet your SA will be so happy to keep you top of mind for the 32 🤗🤗!
She got the receipts 🧾
🧾🧾🧾🤓🤓🤓!
You’re so entertaining to watch. “Trolling this vid”. Lol. Those viewers should not watch it if they find the Hermes game is stupid (my sister included). All your suggestions are on point. Another great video on Hermes discussion. Enjoy the rest of your week ❤
Aww you’re the best 🥰 Thank you! And omg yes-the trollage is so strong with Hermes. Like… nobody makes them watch these videos 😂 why do they do it then?? Have a lovely week!!
I agree with you 💯!!! I can’t wait to watch the series. I’m also San Fran local but I only shop online or in Paris.
Love a local friend!! And yesss I can’t wait to do the series too! Have already gotten some super detailed emails from you all with your quota bag info and I am so excited to share 🤗!
I got my 1st Birkin in 2010 as a walk in with no pre-spend, I got my 2nd in 2019 also as a walkin, I had purchased things at this point but not with a a specific SA. Now I have been spending with one SA (dishes, scarves, ready to wear, shoes, etc) and it seems like I won’t be getting another. Lol Unfortunately there is no store where I live so I’m tasked with just trying to ask for one when I travel to a place. If anyone wants to share their SA please do with me. 😅
Omg but, those first two-you were chosen not once but twiiice 🙌🏽! How amazing!!! 😍😍
@@LilyShops yes! The culture of the brand was ALOT DIFFERENT back then. ❤️
I can only imagine!! I wish I had started sooner!
Very helpful video. Thank you. I would love it if you had a series you going.
So so glad you enjoyed it 😊! And omg yes I can’t wait for the new series-I’ve already gotten a few SUPER detailed emails with quota bag prespend histories, and I am so excited to share 🤗🤗!
Do you know if non-quota bags provide the SAs with commissions? Or how does accepting a non-quota bag impact receiving a quota bag?
Good questions! Based on my research over the years, I’ve seen that their SAs make about 1.5% commission on non-quota bags (but obviously I can’t confirm for suree since I don’t work there hehe). I’ve also heard quite a few people say accepting non-quota bags can delay receiving a quota bag, but I can’t say that for certain since I haven’t experienced it myself. Hope this is helpful 🧡
@@LilyShopsin my home boutique (at least) non quotas would delay quotas in a sense that it decreases your built up prespend (if you don’t post spend when you buy the non quotas)
I’m interested in a path that doesn’t involve working w the same SA over a long amount of time. I just don’t click well w most of them maybe because I take it personally when they don’t have the bag I want (not quotas so far but I did mention I wanted a birkin eventually and my assigned SA said she “didn’t know about that” without even hearing out the kind, only to never even allocate a mini evie for me). Never met one who I felt liked me and would go out of their way to make the visit fun and fruitful. I met one on vacation out of town and She was lovely (surprised me a a Pegase to go with my non quota bag in the colors I asked for) but I can’t imagine traveling just to hopefully maybe buy a bag. I’d be so bummed for it not to work out. Thanks for being honest about the last point, people online who get birkins act like bought a $700 pair of sandals or a scarf or something and they didn’t have to visit over and over again to prove themselves. well yeah I’d feel loved too if I didn’t have to troll a boutique to get the bags I want. I just get the vibe they don’t really care about my business except the gal in Vegas. my h says I should make Vegas my home store but we aren’t going to go 4 times a year to shop lol
Aww, I’m so sorry to hear this-it sounds like a really frustrating set of experiences that would upset anyone 😔 it sounds like the preloved market could be a great option for you-have you considered that?
Honestly I’ve got 5 offers from the boutique plus non quota bags and I will honestly tell you that I’m DONE! My last bags were from resellers and I will never go back to wait for offers in the boutique. Even if you end up finding an SA that you vibe with, they can still let you down at some point and you end up with money spent with no more offers. The thing is that right now they have nothing to do really to get clients. They are waiting at the door eager to buy everything. As soon as they get better spenders than you, you stop existing. Knowing what I know now and looking at the money I dropped at Hermès, I would NOT play that game again. I know how we want an offer from the boutique but it changes nothing about the bag and how we use it at the end of the day.
I totally hear this! If I didn’t like Hermes stuff (or stop wanting other things from there at some point in the future), I would 100% go all preloved market too. Luckily I do like their other stuff too, so for now I’m happy shopping both in-store and preloved 😊 Who knows if that will change though! You’re right-the bag is still the bag, no matter where we buy it 🙃
@ I too like many things but after few years, I don’t feel the need to constantly add. It’s just pure overconsumption at one point.
Honestly honey, I like you but i think that birkins are over rated. Do i want one? sure. Can i afford one? not in this economy :(
That’s a totally valid perspective to have! They certainly are a lot of time, effort, and money to get 😅
This is interesting thanks for sharing ❤
You are so welcome 🥰🥰!
Thanks for watching 🧡🧡 Have any other tips to share for scoring a quota bag from the Hermes boutique? Comment below!!
Do i hear your neighbor walking around throughout the video ?
😖 Sadly yess. They moved in recently, and they must have shoes made out of concrete, bc they are sooo loud 🫠 I even stopped the video to apologize for the noise, but then cut it out. Ugh, so sorry about that!!
I would say “the lady Dior” is hideous 😂 I like it in raffia but besides that one I think the lady Dior is not my type of bag. Also the Dior saddle bag (I think I don’t like Dior) 😂 Great video !!!!
Okay it’s so funny you say that about the Lady Dior. Years ago, I used to be in the same boat as you… but then I tried it on… and fell in love?! It’s so weird how trying on a bag can totally change your mind? 😂 Bur regardless-thank you! So glad you enjoyed it 🥰
Would you be able to share the price for the Evelyn TPM, please? Thank you so much
Of course! From what I’ve been able to find, as is 1/16 it looks like in Clemence it’s currently $2,300 USD. I think it was $2,200 last year, so doesn’t seem to have had a huge increase (yet lol!) 🧡
I really thought the flamenco was ugly until I saw it on Zendaya in challengers which led me to try it on instore. I was absolutely shocked how much I loved it. The leather speaks for itself especially if you try a yummy color. The mini is the absolute perfect easy reach. I highly recommend you try it before making a final decision! 💖
Okay that is so valid bc I remember I didn’t used to love the lady Dior, until I tried it on, and then I fell in love! I need to go give it a shot 😊 And any brand is so lucky when Zendaya wears their things, bc she eats every 👏🏽 single 👏🏽 time! Their sales must go through the roof after she wears something from them ☺️!
I think we have an identical list of bags “I don’t get”. Although I did consider the half moon bag for a hot minute but you are right, it does look like it could be from Zara 😂
Hehee okay I’m glad I’m not alone 🙃 And yes-super cute in theory, but, there’s just something a tiny bit off in terms of execution 🙈
I agree with most of these except I do like the mini Chanel 22 ❤
A lot of others do too, so you’re in very good company 😊😊!
The flamenco isn’t pretty but I guess just functional.. lol! I use it as a catch all for my things (both medium and mini). Just a bag I can grab and go. Lol!
Hehee okay so it’s the function! Honestly, respect, bc function is super important 🙌🏽
@@LilyShops yeah, it’s really a prettier catch all bag. At least for me. Though I can also style the mini a bit using their donut chains.
I don’t own any of the bags mentioned cos I also don’t desire them, but the Chanel 22 mini with the chain/pearl details I love. 😊
A lottt of people love it too, so you’re in good company 🥰🤗
Hey Lily, love this video. It’s so unique and different from everything else that you see on UA-cam. Just wanted to ask if you had any recommendations for a good quality, durable, classic, and timeless, full cashmere coat given that I am allergic to wall and wool blends, flexible price point?
Aww thank you so much 🥰 You’re always so kind! Hmm-let me find some that have no wool in them and I’ll report back. Two questions: 1- budget range? 2- boxy/baggier or belted/more fitted shape?
this kind of transparency is so so refreshing, thank you!
You're so welcome! I'm happy to share the process and am so glad you found it helpful 😊😊
My Chanel 22 is my absolute favorite from Chanel, and I have a big collection. 🙊That bag holds up so well, I throw it around and there’s not a sign of wear and tear on it! It’s unbelievable. But I’m the type that doesn’t like very structured bags. I would never get a Birkin in sellier, heck I don’t even like the Kelly in sellier. My most used is my Kelly25 retourne. I’m in peace with my preferences now, I made my mistakes ( many of them😂) now I go for the slouchy, smoochy bags! 🩷
I love this!!! You’ve learned what works for you, and what makes you happiest 🥰 That’s the best feeling!!
Hope we can have meet ups to all H lovers in SF
Aww I’d love that one day too 😊!
