Fashion Critic Reacts to $100,000 Chanel Bag Collection (World's Biggest Closet)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лип 2024
- Chanel is one of the most in-demand brands in the world, and their handbags are a huge part of the brand's appeal. They are a best seller, constantly reinvented, & their prices rise in a way that aligns with investments like art and other collectibles. Teresa Roemer has become quite famous for having one of, if not, the world's largest closets. She showed her Chanel handbag collection that is easily worth upwards of 6 figures, and I'm sure the collection will only grow in the future. Let's take a peek inside Teresa collection and discuss some of the best and worst acquisitions!

Chanel is expensive. But taste is priceless. Choices...
🤣
LMAOO
LMFAOOooooo
PERIOD
Chanel is outdated af! No one even wants to buy their cosmetics anymore but their bags? Ych.... there's better stuff out there.
the people demand YOUR closet tour
oh you wanna see my landfill!?! i'll def consider but maybe i'll just start showing some pieces from the archive instead :)

@@hautelemode the people DEMAND the landfill plzzz
It's always weirdly comforting to see how many items in these astronomically expensive designer hordes are in fact ugly.
Designer doesn't always equal cute. Unfortunately alot of celebrities and socialites don't seem to understand that.
ouch! but oh well ua-cam.com/video/78ukm4yL5wQ/v-deo.html
I have to agree with you on that one there are some really ugly designer bags and I have alot of designer dupes and have done a haul on my channel where I went to the markets here where I am and I got some great dupes I have a couple of real designer bags got them for a bargain but even if I had millions of dollars I wouldn't buy them for the label I would buy them if I love the style of the bag also people need to check out therealreal.com they have alot of items on there cheap and check out Amber Scholl channel to
@@LisaFrank39 FOR REAAAL LIKE YOU HAVE THE MONEEEY WHERE IS THE TASTEEE
Ugly? To YOU. It’s your subjective opinion sweetie.
When I found out that pretty much all the pearls on Chanel "haute jewelry" are "faux pearls" & still had the audacity to price them the way they were I was done with the brand. Girl bye.
Whaaaaaaaat. This is surreal, oh my God I didn't know it 😳😳
Right?! When I learned CC was all costume jewelry, I was out 😎✌🏻
It's interesting when the founder started the affordable faux jewelry trend to keep up with changing fashions but now brand marketing tries to trick the consumer into thinking the jewelry has any kind of value and charges more than if it was the real thing. Why do people fall for cheap marketing like that?
chanel sells fine jewelry (gold,white gold,diamonds,pearls) and costume jewelry (resin,faux pearls, crystals) the price points are so far apart but still overpriced
@@rosewatersaffron8430 Great point. I don't think it's consumers' fault to fall for their marketing, since their entire persona is elegance and high quality & they're priced high enough for people to think they're real pearls (similar to Mikimoto for example) . Their concept of fine jewelry is intentionally misleading.
Theresa Roemer was robbed (her closet) a few years back and the robber was so pissed at her because they turned out to be fakes (allegedly). I laughed so hard when I found that out
I remember that story lol. I think she even said in the interview on the robbery she didn't care if they bought the bags back. She just wanted a ring from mom back and a lock of her son's hair that they also stole apparently. Now I see why she didnt care lol.
@@LisaFrank39 aw man I didn't know about the ring and the hair. Gosh I hope she got those back at least.
I think he even went to the press 😂
Poor robber ☹️
@@hellothisislilac yea me too.
Teresa: "Isn't it cute?"
Luke: *quietly* "...not really, but you do you..."
Theresa Roemer is a typical nouveau riche Texan. She knows very little about fashion other than what her commission Neiman’s Saks, etc. associates tell her. (I grew up in the biz). For a person who spends 98% of her time in A/C she doesn’t have to worry about how hot black can be in Texas. Btw, she is NOT an heiress she had a string of gyms that made money then she married very well. She gets invites because she likes to spend money, not due to her taste and appreciation.
It's a shame, eith her resources she could put together an incredible curated collection in that closet
Commission salesperson 🤣🤣🤣 the shadee, but TRUE!!
This is a good description of her. I’ve watched a few of her videos and none of them were stylish. Just big closet, big closet, these bodysuits she got on sale, some guy not her husband, big closet, big closet. I was hoping for haute couture but no. It was a strange UA-cam moment for me.
ua-cam.com/video/78ukm4yL5wQ/v-deo.html
I’m not rich so I just have a couple of classic pieces and a few vintage pieces that are more on the classic side.
I am questioning her collection a little, a lot of the reference photos do not match the actual bag. Even the rocket bag was off.
adaismad Yes!! It was too shiny and the cc on the Window wasnt nearly as visible
She was actually in a scandal about this after her closet was robbed. The thief reached out to news reporters saying that the closet was full of fakes and sent them pieces confirmed to be hers. So, who knows 🤷🏻♀️
Katrina Esguerra this shouldn’t be funny at all, but it is... what thief is mad because they robbed a house full of fakes. The audacity! Jokes on him! 😂😂😂
So clean
ua-cam.com/video/iSovW8O5yo4/v-deo.html
@@ok-xd3tp I saw that too! Her bag looks like a knockoff and that was before I read that person who commented about knock offs bags.
sorry but most of the time rhinestones (or whatever those are) on bags look cheap, fake and tacky
i already commented this but she lives in my town her house got robbed and it turned out most of the stuff WAS fake
@@katiem74 :O
Katie M WHAT 👀
I need sourcessss
you can see in the rocket bag photo, that the round window is a completely different size from the one in the pic
@tkjspeaks She's well known for having a lot of counterfeit items. ua-cam.com/video/-7I6mbTF47I/v-deo.html
She specifically said in a past video that the rocket bag is fake.
Only you can make me watch a whole video about BAGS from brand I dislike by an unknown lady and still think "that's a great video" congratulations
I was just thinking the same thing.
How many of those are real? She already had to come out and admit she has several fake Birkins. I don't even care when people have fake bags, I just hate when people try to floss.
She has plenty of fakes.....
Why would someone so rich by fakes? I don't get it.
Chloe for the reason why rich people stay rich, it’s cheaper and plus insurance wise, the real stuff can stay somewhere safe
@@MsTaz98 or maybe that "closet" is just for show.. she may have the genuine stuffs but most of them may not be really in that place
Chloe You can be rich and not have accesible income to spend that much money on purses
Isn’t this the woman who got a lot of her “designer” clothes and accessories robbed, and then the robbers called her back to say everything stolen was fake??!!
yes its her
I remember that, yes.
So much of her stuff is fake.
@@eclipse8482 no way, really????
for real???
She’s an Hermès girl? Well, I’m a whatever’s at tjmaxx and doesn’t have the sensors
😂😂
Me but at whatever is off season at Macy's Backstage lmao
Nordstrom rack girl over here!
Michelle Frost Her Birkins are fake
@@rosaunolalintino I macys backstage lol. That's luxury to me
I'm noticing a lot of her bags are "off" compared to the channel pics of what's supposed to be those bags. Does that mean they're fake? I know people claim a lot of her stuff is fake
Yeah, her bags look off all the time. Even her clothes. She’s notorious for buying fake designer garb and trying to pass it off as the real deal.
@@eclipse8482 I wonder why she does this? To me it just doesn't make sense. I mean she's got money, that's obvious. You'd figure she'd just buy what she really wanted, that's actually real, idk lol.
@@boogiemonstermom677 Actualy she doesn't have that much money. She is rich, but not super rich. Her net worth was estimated at 1 million. That includes her house, cars, etc. Which means she might not have that much disposable money to buy that quantity of real designer pieces.
@@rbguerreiro2466 I see. That's still a lot more then most have though. I think personally if I was in her position though, I'd still just buy a few pieces I really liked, instead of trying to create a collection of fakes to pass off as real. Even with just a few pieces, you'd still end up having a lot more than the average person.
@@boogiemonstermom677 yeah but it doesn't look like she has the taste for that.
"a little cozy intimate evening with Teresa.."
Luke: "pffft"
I remember when Theresa got robbed and the robber called the police to report the stolen items were counterfeit.
looool
I don’t trust anything in her closet. After I clocked a fake pair of louboutins in her closet her collection is very questionable now smh.
How can you tell if loubs are fake?
THIS!! A lot of those CCs and Birkins are soooo fake
@@diorlver do you think the one on 29:38 is fake? lol
Also because she didn't know the names of stuff. Thought her beach ball bag was a basketball
omg time stamp pleasseee i wanna see
not even gonna lie, i thought she was trisha patyas for a hot minute
Haha I commented that on her closet tour last year. 😂 fr.
More like her grandmom!
If your closet is 3 floors and has a bar, you don’t have a huge closet you have a house with all your stuff on the walls.
Please Luke, give us your reaction of Jamie Chua’s closet, is gonna be 2021 soon and we still haven’t got that reaction! I beg you, queen!
YES
I bet he’s gonna do it in December as a Christmas present to us
we been asking him to do one for ages... smh
I’ve been waiting so long tooo
I don’t think he could handle it yet.
*"Tacky, in your face"* your comments are killing me every time!! We need more honest, real people like you!
Luke, PLEASE BE AWARE most of her bags are FAKE!! the first fake is the Chanel rocket clutch as you can see from the one she has hanging, its missing crystals and the opening is different. Be Careful with what she says.
I agree about the fakes but real Chanel can have missing crystals. All their studs/stones are almost all fake costume gems - even on the real bags & accessories.
Nadia my real CC earrings kept loosing gems (they replace them for free at Chanel you just mail them. But why mention “don’t wear perfume on them!” Now I buy real gold only...)
@@hungfu2422 The bags are fake, yes, I'm talking about something general and separate with Chanel products as a whole
She mentioned that bag in a previous video 😂 She said it was $100 and said it wasn’t Chanel. Lol
"To each their own...oh, that's hideous."
"No! I'm not a big fan of these studded bags...I think it just looks tacky and sad and gross."
"Oh, I hate that...no...bench her, put her away, throw her out, she's done."
"Do I like it? No, but it's there."
I feel like you were holding back in this video, Luke. I wish you had told us what you really thought. 😂😂
BTW, I love your chain bracelet!! ❤️
I dunno if maybe I just don't have taste, but I didn't like a single bag aside from the little rocket ship bc it's kinda fun. And even then I couldn't even DREAM of ever owning one. Also I started to feel almost physically sick listening to her talk about her bags. She just holds it up and says: "Isn't that cute?" and then throws it on the ground??? And then she considers them investments which like, you're spending so much money on this thing that's meant to be used for fashion and fashion is always fluctuating? So? Just buy what you enjoy! I dunno, sometimes it seems like rich people don't do things for their own enjoyment, they do things to either flaunt their wealth, seem wealthier than they are, or one day become wealthier than they are.
Either way, I enjoyed the video!! ♥ As someone who's intrigued at what the fashion world is doing without really participating in it, these videos are always so interesting!!
Oh my god sameee, reminded me of Jeffrey star closet tour. So much money, no real taste
I agree with you, people are like expensive expensive and expensive but when I see I don't even like one .
Don’t worry that means you have taste and a brain. Brand/designer doesn’t mean it’s good. Most ready to wear stuff for example is just vile. Think Gucci: there collections look good but what people wear are those ugly monogram shirts bc they think it’s fashion.
That's just the "new money", they tend to flaunt their wealth. Old Money families are mostly into curating and archiving fashion as art pieces. And tbh, it might be just New Money in the West, bc New Money from the East (like Middle East, Singapore, Korea, etc.) are into fashion as an art collection. Go watch Heart Evangelista's closet tour, or watch the video done by Harper's Bazaar called "These are the REAL Crazy Rich Asians"....
ua-cam.com/video/g01YnqH-2ek/v-deo.html
Lego’s creator’s motivation for making Lego was so that kids would want to keep creating new stuff with them over and over and not throw them away, like how all the other toys he was seeing kids would quickly get bored with. The whole goal was really sustainability.
Ah-ha! That makes sense. I couldn’t quite see how plastic toys were sustainable. That kinda makes me like the bag a little more actually. (Not sure it makes sense for this lady to own it though lol, not very sustainable to have a house-closet)
She’s been trying to sell her house (and closet) for years and had to reduce the price as nobody would buy it. I guess some people in Texas have taste
Good one lol
I feel like anything tastefully interesting she has acquired was accidental
This really makes me wonder 🤔. With most Chanel bags costing $5-10,000 a piece, how
Does she have so many ? You'd really only get between 10-20 bags for 100,000
“To each their own....oh that’s hideous” 🤣 great pronunciation of minaudiere 😙👌
Money really cant buy Taste. Some of these bags are CHOICES... but also at the same time, i love her individuality and the selfish conviction of "i bought it because I like it, not because I want to impress or please others". Love that.
From what I've gathered from the comments she has apparently been robbed and most of what was robbed was fake (allegedly). Now if I were her I would use this video to show all my fakes so the next time I get robbed they take all the bags in this video. As I assume the robbers wanna do their research on such a rich lady like her. (And videos like these kinda scream pls rob me)
@@hungfu2422 everything about this creature is fake! She actually moved to a RANCH now LMAO
Another awesome video king! ❤️ I have a mini request for a new video. A Dream Closet, basically you would explain and show what pieces from high end designers (or any designer) that you would have in your closet. Without money or availability restrictions!
I got this idea because I always see you saying what pieces you would never buy, so I got interested in what pieces you would purchase and own. Thanks for all the amazing content and I’m glad to see your channel growing. Been here since 100k! ❤️
Her voice reminds me of Caitlyn Jenner
Was looking for this comment
two of those bags in this vid ua-cam.com/video/78ukm4yL5wQ/v-deo.html
Yes I thought so too lol.
I have an extremely bitchy auntie and this woman reminds me of her lol
I love how unbelievably knowledgeable and thoughtful you are. Please keep doing what you’re doing. ❤️
lego bricks are sustainable toys in that you can build a helicopter.toy or a car toy or truck toy instead of buying separate toys when u get tired of them
I was looking for that comment. The actual idea begin Lego is to have a sustainable toy, instead of having several different toys.
Okay I'm sorry but now I'm in love with the "Chanel scarab minaudière"... No seriously I really want to create a new OC based on this piece, it's so peculiar and beautiful. Thank you very much for showing me, a fashion ignorant, your knowledge and passion
Im the only one that after reading the coments about her having fake bags, started to notice that a lot of the ones that she showed were really different at the picture?👀
Teresa: I don’t care about the name or the price tag, I want it! It’s cute!
Also Teresa: I started being more selective and I pick the most valuable bags that won’t depreciate.
the biggest flex in this video was luke being able to name every collection from memory
Heiress? LOL 😂
Not at all, she is self made.
Not that I like her or am defending her, but she does not come from a family of distinguished history. 👌🏽
How did she make all this money
I thought she married rich?
Screaming Banshee health clubs.
LisaFrank39 well, she did that too, but she did ok for herself before she married. 👌🏽
@@TheCOnassis is that a gym
As someone who lives in Texas (specifically South Texas) and also likes wearing black quite a bit, I can confirm that it (literally) gets hot and sweaty when wearing black. (For reference, today the high was 95°F and yesterday was 100°F.)
minaudière is litteraly the french translation to "clutch", it's a small bag made of a rigid material
I was having a horrible day but you always make me smile!
Bought "in intimate detail" thanks to your video, it's absolutely amazing, thank you so much !! love you
omg so happy you enjoyed it!!! xxx
2020 and Luke STILL has wired headphones we love a queen
rich people don't buy as "investments" as in high roi--they mean they retain their value. as you know, wealth can be volatile, and should one come into financial crisis, these bags can/will be sold for liquid capital.

Its called reaearch
Thank you this is what i've been waiting for
happy i could oblige!!!

As usual the best part of the video is your commentary. Like your shirt. These bags though....waste of space on all fronts?
This is what people mean when they say eat the rich
so right
Exactly. No one would starve.
No thanks, I don’t like the taste of silicone
she might be a bit gamey
LisaFrank39 people would still starve
You just gave us a moment of culture, I'm soooooo impressed by your knowledge of Chanel Bags !
yeah you did researches but i'm still really impressed
The two tote bags she showed are called "deuville" bags and reference that Chanel had her first(?) shop in Deauville which is a beach side town. They are beach bags, made out of canvas. Nothing relating to tweed. I wish I had an entire collection of them that I could use up,and buy more because I love them as a modern day briefcase.They are totally my taste and function. Thanks for teaching me to say "reference". Iove learning about fashion. Thanks for sharing.
Early today!!! Love your videos!! It always makes my day!! I cant wait for the August roast!!
You have been killing it with the outfits lately
Need a closet tour
She is self made and is very down to earth. She gives a lot of inspirational talks to those wanting to make their own way in life.

Yayyyyy! Can’t wait for this vid!
Also at 15:17 the “Lego” bag is actully just que big brick inspired by the Chanel Boy bag’s closure
One thing I don't get is when rich people, with millions of dollars, say they've chosen to buy a luxury good as an investment. Are you saving them to sell when you go bankrupt? Otherwise, why else would they ever need to sell them? It's an excuse for not having any taste, as if appearing to have a curated selection of expensive bags suddenly gives you a personality.
Lots of rich people buy luxury goods and art in order to avoid paying taxes. You buy an item that's sure to increase in value and send it to a tax haven. Then sell it when it's worth more. Also, sometimes money can actually depreciate in non investment bank accounts if the inflation rate is too high. So occasionally it makes sense to invest in material goods. There's also the whole diversifying your invests thing. But in this case I think she just wants to show off her wealth and is speaking nonsense. 😂
The thing is that these luxury brands have price increases every year. This is why it is an investment. Especially Chanel, they have up to 2 price increases a year sometimes. Although not all brands hold there value for resale. One is Dolce & Gabbana.
But luxury goods can be an investment. More times than not they increase in value instead of decrease. I can only imagine what a vintage designer bag would cost 👀
You've clearly never been to an auction before. Authentic fashion pieces (especially vintage) go for big bucks. They're no different than any other art piece or collector's item. There's obviously a huge market for bags, bc they are simultaneously an art piece, a status symbol, and a fashion accessory. They have both artistic and functional use. HOWEVER, this is how Old Money curates and archives fashion. But New Money like her only does it to flaunt. She's superficial & delusional, since she's clueless about what is authentic, especially bc it was discovered that most of her closet is full of knock-offs and fakes.
Some of those Chanels are more than $20,000 so...im almost positive her Chanel collection is well over $100,000. Plus i believe she gets bags especially made for her (like how Hermés does)
Love how Luke is showing us more of his personal style recently in the newer videos! Apron? Yes.
True
ua-cam.com/video/iSovW8O5yo4/v-deo.html
Correct me if I'm wrong but i believe the boy bag at 11:40 is a limited edition bag from the Pre-Fall 2015 collection. It's hard to tell from Teresa's video but it's actually khaki, burgundy and blue and it was re-released in the Fall Winter 2017 collection 😊
Hope she didn't get scammed by someone for the vanity case at 29:42, it's a counterfeit 👀 (edit: turned my 1080 on and spotted many more fakes. nvm it's definitely intentional at this point 😂)
How can you tell?
Maybe she doesn't buy her own stuff.
I'll be curious to have examples maybe ? And how can you tell ? I think it's quite interesting.
@@x0xmadix0x I used to collect Chanel extensively up until 2018. Had the same bag at one point.

in the process of watching this video i went and bought a 90's chanel clueless inspired tweed set. thanks.
Hahahaha "Tu oui chez on" is brilliant it should be on a tshirt 😂😂
She can't stop showing off that collection,I have seen it at least 5 times....... YAWN! Elegance can be understated and quite too.
And in the end it's just stuff. Most Chanel bags look like cheap knockoffs.
I actually cut up a Chanel bag to see if it was real. It was. No great loss. It was just a bag but certainly beautifully made inside.
@@dellplummer5173 that sucks lol
@@dellplummer5173 dang poor bag
It's because Chanel is faked so much, I automatically think a Chanel bag is fake when I see one.
Fun and informative upload! 🌺
The bag shown at 11:37 is from the collection Métiers D’Art Paris - Salzburg. If I am not mistaken it’s called a Top Handle Boy Bag
Honestly the ones that were most interesting to me and that I was most glad to see were the ones I would NEVER buy, the cute kitschy ones. LEGO, suitcase, beach ball, tweed jacket, spaceship, perfume bottle, scarab etc
14:40 It’s not a Lego reference. It’s the shape of the Boy Chanel bag lock.
TTYL cant wait for the next one ❤️👛🎒
Love the outfit and glasses today.
Mee-no-dee-air. Adding extra french sounds that don't correspond to letters, it's actually easy to pronounce
I watched this because i’d rather watch luke than teresa roemer. Lol. I hope you react to one of Jaime Xie’s thousand dollar unboxings. Xos from the Philippines!
You’re the perfect person to visit her closet!!!!
I wanted to see more of those limited edition bags, and maybe more metiers d'art bags as well
Hermès bags do retain value, and often have a great ROI, but I do agree that most bags and brands are not the greatest investment. I’m sure that she has people that can guide her in what will retain most of its value when she goes shopping though.
How awesome would it have been for her to do a “Bag of the day” look. Show you what outfit you could pair the bag with, which ones went with what season, different ways to wear/carry the bag, etc. She could have had so many people tuned in to her videos daily. I would have, because it’s interesting to see the whole outfit be put together. So many times were shown the shoes, shown the clothes, shown the bags & accessories, but aren’t shown what goes with what, why you bought this piece to go with this other piece.
I just think it be fabulous & interesting to see a different spin on the whole “Closet Tour” thing being shown in more detail, putting pieces together, shown being worn. Especially since everyone was stuck at home mostly bored with nothing to do. She could have given us Clueless every single day!
I agree with what you’re saying about designer items not really being the best way to investment your money; I sorta view my designer items as a savings account since I can sell items whenever I’d like to down the line.
I love design across the board, whether it’s architecture, handbags, jewelry, etc. I really appreciate the thought process that went behind the sketches for the final result. If I want to place my money somewhere, it’s simply a more fun experience to be able to wear a token that holds a certain range of value, rather than just letting it sit in a savings account. Typically a savings account has really low interest rates, on top of general inflation that we can’t avoid, and because of that in my eyes it’s not really a smart move to keep *large* amounts of money in a savings account
Tldr; I love design and I love finances. Designer items can be a fun and immersive way to set aside money while at the same time using someone’s art
(Please don’t use designer items as a substitute for investing into something like the stock market or real estate. Im not counting on my closet to carry me through my retirement down the line)
I love these videos
