I MADE A MISTAKE | LOUIS VUITTON UNBOXING 2024

- I traded one of my favorite bags, the YSL College bag for this Louis Vuitton bag. Was it a huge mistake? Did I rush the process? Unfortunately, I believe I did. I should have thought through this a bit more before making such a rash decision. Luckily, I’m starting to like the bag more and more everyday. 🌸

I have decided to keep both for a while to see which style works out best for me. Which one do I use more? Which one is easier? Which one do I love?
I don’t think you made a mistake. I think the pink bb is perfect for spring/summer weddings, brunch/lunch, nicer events. It’s a really pretty, neutral pink. You may not use it often but it’s a lifetime bag that will serve you well and never be dated.
The mulberry, to me, looks like a more casual everyday bag.
That’s a great perspective. It is a timeless bag and would be great for all of those occasions. I love to carry my Alma BB’s top handle and the mulberry is more of a cross body bag. 🌸
@@MelissaAdams-Wadeno mistake at all the Alma is more dressy and the mulberry is more everyday bag❤
Keep both, Mulberry is a casual bag and LV is more dressy. If it came down to actually having to choose I would definitely pick the LV.
Ok, so I think you should keep both for a while and use them both before making a decision to let one go. You can always let one go later, but if you let it go too soon, you don’t want to regret that decision too! (And that said, I love the pink Alma and would totally be open to a trade. 😅)
🤣😂 send me a DM on instagram Lula.
It’s a completely different bag! Keep it!!! I literally have 20 black bags and they are all different and easy to rationalize🖤🖤🖤
Thank you 😊
Bummer Melissa! They’re both beautiful. Pick the one that makes your heart sing the most! 🥰
Thank you Lisa 🌸
I think they are both beautiful and have different hardware....I love matching the hardware on my bags to my jewelry when possible❤
The majority of my jewelry is silver. I don’t typically change my jewelry out. I’m too lazy for all that 😂
It’s really pretty. I feel that shade works great with sage or soft green colors. Might be gorgeous paired with spring outfits. 🌸
Thank you 😊
I agree - my favorite color is lavender and I ALWAYS fall for it when it comes to handbags … but the same is true when it comes to clothing, so I’m finding that accessorizing my outfit with a contrasting color that pops can be more complimentary than being so monochrome or trying to match the shades.
I think the bags are both beautiful, but they serve different purposes. The Mulberry is more sporty, and the Alma BB is more dressy. You can put scarves or charms on it and give it different looks. I would trade the Mulberry for a green one and keep the Alma. Also, pink is kind of neutral to me. You can mix a scarf that is ping and green, or wear closes that are also pink and green and match it. Charms look really nice on the Alma ❤
Ohh, a green twilly on the Alma would be so pretty 🤩
I would keep the mulberry Alexa because you already have the Alma. I vote for only 1 pink bag. The Alexa looks comfy n soft. TFS
Thank you Kim. I think we are the only ones who think one is enough 🤣
That Alma bb is so pretty. You can dress it up so nicely , will also last a long time. But if it doesn’t make your heart sing…
Ya, I hear ya 🤔
Both are beautiful. But the Alma is such a classic. And will surely hold its value better, as well.
This is true 🌸
LOVE the Alma bb in pink! 😍😍
Thank you, it is so pretty.
What a pretty bag in a pretty color. Sometimes I do this if I have 2 bags that could usually be used in the same situations. I just decide in advance that one bag I'll wear in x circumstances and the other I'll wear in y circumstances, so making a distinction where there wasn't an obvious one before. For example, though they are both pink and of a similar size, the Alma is a bit more structured and a kind of fancier, while the Alexa is a little more casual. You could then, for example, wear the Alma for fancier outfits and the Alexa for more billowy outfits. But I understand. I recently got a bag in black, which is my 2nd black bag, and it directly competes with my other black bag. :(
I think if it were a color I reached for often then I could justify having both. They are both beautiful bags and structured differently. The Alma BB is Moore of a top handle bag for me and The Mulberry is more Crossbody bag for me.
Oh no what a bummer!! It’s so similar to the Alma bb and the mulberry. I’d sell the pink Alma. Plus the mulberry adds some variety to your collection.
Thank you 🌸
Both are beautiful but if you really don’t want them both then Alma BB is such a timeless classic 🎉🎉
🌸 thank you
The Alma is very sleek and classic. But if it’s not singing to you, let it go and make room for something else! Both are lovely bags!
Thank you Heather
Alma is a CLASSIC but I really love your Mulberry🩷
Thank you, I agree. If the Alma was in maybe a light blue it would be perfect 😆
I only have one LV left to trade. Good luck 🍀 on finding exactly what you want. It’s an adorable bag. 👛👛👛
Thank you 😊
I think they are different bags. One is more casual. The other is more elegant. It’s perfect for your colour palate❤
Thank you Dani 🌸
Other than the color being close, I don’t see them as being that similar. The Alma is classier and refined with clean lines. You have a casual bag and a dressier bag now in a beautiful shade of pink. Pink is basically a neutral!
Keep them both!
Thank you 🌸
I think just keep both! There is no guarantee that you will not like it in the future! Speaking from experience
Very true 😊🌸
Keep the one you truly love Melissa! I will say the possibility of the mulberry getting dirty reminds me of your white balenciaga and your orange bottega 😢
I’m going to think on it for a while. Keep both in my collection and see if I love them both. If not, move on from the one I don’t love. 🌸
The Arco and Balenciaga 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ I’m so glad I’ve learned what style and color bags work for me.
Bravo! The Alma is the winner! So classic . Epi leather long lasting.
Thank you 😊
I love the alma it's so beautiful, and that epi is going to be gorgeous for 20 years, same color but different uses, epi jeans rain all weather
I agree 🌸😄
I’m probably the wrong person to answer this question because I absolutely love pink and my favourite silhouette is the Alma style!
I say keep them both ,take her out for a spin and think about it for a while longer
Hugs Frances 💓💕💓
🤣😂 you are the wrong person to ask. I’m the same way with green 💚.
Beautiful bags! I would say sell the Alma and keep the Mulberry Alexa.
Thank you 🌸
Hi Melissa, the bags are similar but very different... Imo...I see the Mulberry as more of a casual everyday bag and the Alma as more of a dress up special event bag, the Mulberry is a better for cross body or shoulder bag style as the Alma only looks good as a handheld bag... again in my opinion. I'm team Mulberry on this one and yes please do get another YSL College one of my favorite all time bags : )
I agree with you, the Alma is more of a top handle bag for me.
This is a tough one! I think this color is so beautiful for you. They are different bags. Alexa can be worn casually & crossbody. Alma is so ladylike & elegant. Keep them both for now & see how it goes!
That is what I’m learning towards. See if I gravitate towards one more than the other or if both fit into my collection. I love the top handles on the Alma.
Melissa the Alma is so gorgeous!!!!! Keep both, it's absolutely gorgeous and I love the silver hardware!!!! Omg I love the Alma
😁🌸 it is really pretty and I love the Alma BB style.
That bag is gorgeous! I love rose ballerine; it’s such a pretty color.
Thank you 😊
I think the colors are close, but I think the Alma is more classy. The Mulberry is more casual. I would keep the Alma.
Thank you 🌸
They are both beautiful bags. I would keep both….but I love pink bags
Thank you Dawn 🌸
I'm sorry you're missing your tradeaway but I understand if the color wasn't quite right. I don't think it's excessive to have 2 beautiful pink bags (maybe because I do😂) I think the Alma is finding her way into your heart.💗🌻
Hi Linda 🩵🩵. I’m not missing my trade away bag. She went to a good home 😉. The color wasn’t right for me and I got 3 years of good use out of it. I am warming up to the Alma. It’s one of my favorite styles and is so easy to use.
I love both and it’s spring so have fun with both
Thank you 😊
Omg I would totally trade one of mine for that Alma if I had something you wanted. Let me look at what I have 😂
Sounds good. Send me a DM on instagram
KEEP THAT ALMA! It's stunning. So beautiful. I'd keep the Alma and get rid of the Mulberry. Nothing against Mulberry, but that Alma is stunning.
Thank you 🌸
Both beautiful 💕 Alma bb is a keeper!
Thank you
H Mel, I would just keep one. They are very similar in size and color. I thing you are right about not needing two pink bags in your collection. I follow you on IG and I don't see you wearing a lot of pink.
Thank you 🌸
I wouldn’t rush into anything and just keep for a while then make a decision ❤
That’s the plan 😉
I would keep the Alma. It's a classic and durable bag with good capacity. If you must move one on, my vote goes to Mulberry.
Thank you 😊
Feel like the Alma is more versatile than the Mulberry. The Mulberry looks more interesting though..
It’s a hard decision 🤣. I’m going to think on it for a while.
both are two diff vibe. LV BB is time piece will go taste of time. and mulberry is def a every day for run errands. Just my humble opinion, but at the end of day, is your call.
I agree. If the Alma was a light blue I’d definitely be keeping both 🤣
This is a tough one, they’re both so good! I know you’ll make the best decision for your collection.
Thank you Ebony. I’m going to think on it for a while before making any decisions.
Ok that organizer is so cute !
Thank you 😊
Yes! Where is it from?
Both bags are stunning! I do have an epi alma MM. i would keep them and add a green bandeau. Plus the Alma Epi has silver hardware vs the rest if your bags have gold.
Thank you 🌸
LOVE the bag!!! SO pretty!!! I actually prefer the Alma BB over the Mulberry. I think they're very different styles.
Thank you 🌸
They are similar colours but they are very different looks. I would keep both. I think it was a great trade.
Thank you 😊
I like the LV bag more than the mulberry bag. I’m not a fan of mulberry. I think the Alma in pink is beautiful.
Thank you. Mulberry isn’t a popular brand.
Both are so pretty!! Now I know what you meant when you said similar color in previous video. I’d definitely wait a little and see which one you reach for more especially with spring and summer coming. I know you said Arizona is always warm so you would prob use them year around. I’m sure you’ll figure it out once you start styling your outfits and which one you reach for more. Enjoy 🌸
That’s the plan. I want to see which one I gravitate towards more. Which one is easiest to use, which one works best with my closet, ect. Hopefully they will both work for me. 🌸
Omg that pink Alma 😍😍😍😍😍definitely keep both!!!
It is really pretty. I love the sheen it has to it also 🌸
I love both bags.beautiful soft neutral pinks.keep both
Thank you 🌸
I prefer the Alma bb but it sounds like you prefer the Mulberry. Loved the insert that you put into the alma, so pretty!
Thank you so much. I do prefer the Mulberry because I just bought it and it’s a style I don’t have. I did trade this Alma for a different Alma. I have a video on it.
I’m a new subscriber and I absolutely LOVE the pink Alma bag. That is one of my dream bags that I just cannot find. I’d love to have it someday.
I see them on FASHIONPHILE quite often. It really is a beautiful bag. Thank you so much for subscribing 🌸.
Keep both! I love them both. They are different enough in design , but ultimately you have to be happy with your decision 🩷
Thank you 😁 they are different in design. 🌸
Lol you're welcome 😊
Lol you're welcome 😊
Hey girlie I love both bags the mulberry is so pretty but the Alma bb is such a classic and will hold its value better I know this doesn’t help but they are both so pretty as well as your beautiful organizer 🌸🌸🌸
Thank you Cherise 🌸
I would keep the Alma.🥰
Thank you 🌸
I think while both pink, they are Different and the Alma leans more to dressier occassions and more durable ❤
🌸 thank you
Keep both. They are lovely.
@@adeleevans210 thank you 😊
I think they’re different but I see how the color is similar. But personally they are different to me. I regret not buying that alma bb when it was available. I’ve been on the hunt for it. Let me know if you’re interested in selling it. But personally I think they are different styles unique in their own way.
Thank you, send me a DM with how much you’re willing to buy it for and I’ll consider it 🤗.
Where did you get your organizer? Is it floral?
Keep both bags. The Alma can be dressed down. Mink4all always says “I wear the bag the bag does not wear me.” Just enjoy it as a “for now piece” in your collection. 😊
Hi 👋🏼, thank you. I’ve linked the organizer in my description box.
it's linked in the description box
I would swap out the mulberry for a different colour! I love the Louis and the pink. The mulberry comes in so many options. I think the alma pink goes with more clothing too 😮 Goodluck. I love my college bag too 😂
Thank you. The college bag is so good
I think they’re different, even though the color is the same. I think the Alma is more dressy and the Alexa is more casual. Keep both for a while and see which one you go for more. Also, where is your dress from if you don’t mind me asking? I absolutely love it!
Thank you, it’s from Abercrombie. They have some of the most beautiful prints.
I’d keep both❤❤
Thank you 😊
Melissa I love 💕 both bags. They are fantastic bags. I think the style of the bags are different for different occasions so keeping both would be beneficial. I’m curious to learn what you decided tfs 🛍️👛🚢🙏🦆
Thank you so much. I decided to keep both for now
I’m facing the same issue with my college bag! I love the style but I have the rose beige colour (same as Erin HBH) and it’s too cool-toned for my wardrobe. Not a UA-camr but totally would have traded for that red one you had.
Dang, we should have done a swap 😆
Similar color,both bags are beautiful..both give a different vibe but in this video the Alma bb looks good with your outfit..you should put together different outfits to see which bag goes best with your wardrobe…
Great idea 🌸 thank you
I love them both I would keep the LV is super durable leather and the color is gorgeous plus you love the Alma BB style 🫶
I do love the Alma BB style 😄
I’m torn!! Luv them both! 💖💖
Me too 😄 I’m keeping them both for now.
Both are stunning! Even though the colors are similar I think they are very different bags and serve different functions. I say keep them both unless you find something you love move. I’d keep them both!! 🙂 Ps where did you get that organizer from?
Thank you, 🤔 I’ll try to find a link for the organizer.
You rushed one decision, I would recommend not rushing again! 😘 #1 the Alma will hold it’s value so much better. #2 you haven’t had the Mulberry long enough to know wear & tear etc….
I agree, that’s why I said at the end of the video I’ll probably just hang onto both and see how I feel.
the alma hands down is the best bag
Thank you 🌸
The Alma BB ❤
🩵
I really like the Alma! You should keep it.
Thank you 😊
Yes, very similar.
🌸 I agree
I like the Mulberry, what is the weight difference? is it much heavier than the alma?
They are both light weight
i would forgo the Mulberry i like the alma bb shape more
I do love my Parisian street sign Alma 😄
LOVE the LV…. ❤❤
Thank you 🌸
Melissa firstly cut yourself some slack and don’t expect yourself to be perfect. You are doing great! I’m loving that you’re Shari g this with us and I think it makes others reflect on what they are do I g as well. It does me. And we only learn more as we regret some of the decisions we make. Because sometimes we don’t realize it’s a mistake until it’s happened. I dont think they are the same bag because they are just different. Yes they are a similar size and color but They look very different to me in all other ways. The Alma CAn be dressed up where the Alexa is quite casual. The color for both are very pretty. But if you’re not a lover of a particular color you probably shouldn’t have multiple bags in that color. I don’t love red so I have only one dark red bag (which I love as a winter pop of color). I have the rose ballerine Alma and a Chanel pink mini with top handle and a pink ysl large woc. And I’m sire I’ll get another pink bag some time. Love them all but I do love pink. Don’t rush to make a decision on these but if the Alma in this color doesn’t make your heart sing, think about another color that does and ask for a trade in that. Can’t wait to see what happens.
I do love pink but I don’t see myself reaching for pink as often as let’s say a green bag or white. I’ll probably hang onto both for a while before I make a decision. The Alma BB is one of my favorite styles so I may surprise myself with how much I use it.
@@MelissaAdams-Wade you’re right no rush on deciding. Color for me is a big factor in the bag I choose with an outfit. Most of my bags are either flap or top handle with a strap as those are the styles I like. So color is a major distinguishing factor for me. Light and colorful pieces in the summer and mostly black with some darker colors in winter. If I’m not drawn to the color of a bag I won’t use it. But if I love the color I find excuses to use it. Have fun deciding!

I love your dress or blouse. Could you please share where it’s from? Thank you.
Thank you, it’s from Abercrombie
I like the alma better and I think they look totally different especially the shape and hardware.
Thank you 🌸
I love Alma. The other bag looks dated, like something from 2010.
🌸
Those are two completely different bags. The Mulberry is far more casual and has a different vibe than the Alma. The pink Alma just looks classy. This is coming from a bag person that is not a fan of Louis Vuitton. I’d rather have bags from other design houses.
My concern is more with the color. I don’t wear pink often. I gravitate towards greens, blues, and whites most. So I’m worried one will just be left sitting on my shelf. Now if they were different colors it would be a no brainer, I’d keep both.
Trade the Alma. You don’t need 2 pink bags.
🩷🩷
No they are not the same different vibe altogether Louis Vuitton more structured keep
🌸🩵
The ALMA is such a gorgeous classic. The mulberry is not....I would sell the Mulberry.... I also feel like there's no comparison between the 2 of them its like comparing an audi vs a kia....sorry mulberry to me is not a luxury brand like LV.
🤣😂 everyone has their opinion about what luxury is or isn’t. I was comparing the color, size, and what I would use the two bags for. Not the brands themselves.
Agree but to me they are just not comparable...btw mulberry Alexa's are mostly made in china so I would keep that in mind :) @@MelissaAdams-Wade
Keep the Alexa.
Thank you 🌸

Hi
Sorry. The LV is far superior!! All my LV API bags are so special amd.no.one.else.has them. The mulberry is cute but not sophisticated.
🌸😁
Love the YSL and also de Alma BB… the only thing I don’t like much is the silver hardware but I think even though it’s pink like the other bag it’s a total different style, the Alma is more dressy and chic, the other is more casual-edgy in my opinion 🩷 give it a thought for a while before you make any decision
Thank you 😊. I agree, they have different styles to them.
@@MelissaAdams-Wade love your channel 🤍
@@Chicandstylishbylena awe thank you so much 😊
