What kind of collection would you have if you sold all of your logo bags??? What do you think about influencers like Niki who do such a 180 degree switch?
I think she can no longer afford them. Gotten in over her head for a YT channel
@@kayleigh3310that's a real possibility 🤔🤔🤔
I would still have my Loewe bags so I would be just fine. I could let go of Chanels, Guccis, fendis, and even goyard.
@@654ujalaI've head Loewe is amazing - I need to check them out the next time I go to a big city for sure❤❤❤
@@thehandbaghousewife yup, unfortunately the demand has increased and their prices are reflecting the growing popularity. The flamenco style is my favorite. I love it so much I may buy a fourth this summer when in Portugal!
Most of my bags would still pass. My loudest bags are my LVs. Am not getting rid of those anytime soon. All of those represent milestones in my life i hope i can pass on to my kids when i pass away. I’m considering putting how/ when/why i got each bag in their pockets, to keep a diary of each purchase. I’m super proud of my collection. I don’t feel bad when i add new ones. Never heard of Niki Sky before the reaction videos came out, don’t believe i’m her audience. Love you, Aaryn!
thank you so much for sharing :-). What a fabulous idea to put a note in each pocket! I need to do that but it seems like an overwhelming task :-). Maybe each time I carry one I can think to do it? Thx so much for watching & for the wonderful comment - love ya too🥰
How interesting that Mulberry is so low key! I never thought of it that way until you just showed your beauties ❤
I hadn't either!!!♥️
I watched her video since it popped up on my recommended and I didn’t get that impression from her. I don’t think she’s trying to push her viewpoint onto others and what she said is all based on where she is in her life and what she regards as more important. I think we’ve all been in a place of our life where we really love or is into something but than move past it at some point. It’s kind of odd how many people have reacted to her video. I think if you love bags and logos and that makes you happy than keep buying and collecting but I don’t understand why everyone seem so put off by how she feels about bags at this point in her life 🤷🏽♀️
I don't think I came across as "put off"… the only thing I pointed out that could be construed as negative is that I think she may be trying to push her new views on others a little bit… and that I didn't "love" that. I really don't have strong views on the video either way. I just thought it would be fun to do a video where I showed what I would have left if I did what she did and I think/hope that I accomplished that! Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts :-).
I agree..I still love bags but I’m happy for her to be evolving on her journey while I continue to evolve on mine!
@@654ujala❤❤❤
You are right. She was not pushing her agenda on anyone. I’d say her video definitely provoked those who are struggling with spending addiction.
Well said Jala.
I went through a similar thing as Niki a couple years ago. I have never looked back. I was at a point that we had to turn a room into a bag closet, at one point my collection was over 200 luxury bags, as well as a lot of ready to wear. One day I asked myself why do I keep buying so many things? I started soul searching and really understanding why. I was definitely trying to validate something within by having these extremely expensive items, just because I was financially able to. They never made me happy. I’m so much happier now with my capsule wardrobe and 30 luxury bags. I only own 2 bags with monogram and thinking of selling those. I do understand where Niki is coming from. What are we trying to prove by flashing LV monogram? It’s not even good quality anymore. I did keep my Hermes pieces, but they are minimal imo.
I could see myself downsizing one day to around 30 - it is overwhelming to consider the amount spent on these things, but it wouldn't be because I'm embarrassed or uncomfortable wearing these things - I really do enjoy my collection and it's kind of a hobby at this point:). Thanks so much for sharing your story! I am loving hearing different perspectives 💜
I understand your POV. But want to add that it's a misconception that all those that love and wear LV monogram do so for the "flashing" of logos aspect. I can genuinely say, I do love the fleur de lis and earth tones in the LV monogram and always have. I saw it growing up and didn't even know what a luxury bag was and it just spoke to me. I won't be parting with my LVs because it's something I truly love for personal reasons. I buy vintage bags and have inherited a few LV and they mean so much to me.
Apart from that, LV canvas is lightweight and if you pretreat the vachetta, very carefree. The fact the bags are not heavy is a reason I use it for travel. I have a vintage Damier canvas bucket bag that I can remember vividly my mom using. That is priceless to me. She also loved it because it was so carefree even with with kids in tow. I can say honestly I am not trying to prove anything when I wear LV or anything I own; it makes me happy and it's practical. That being said, I am rehoming my Chanel. There I can relate. They no longer serve any purpose for me. Just wanted to add a different perspective. Not all of us wear LV for attention. I am truly happy you found your sweet spot. Best.
I totally agree, I know there are people who truly love it. Just in the circles I run in at one time it was just to be a flex. That’s including myself. I have 2 monogram pieces, one is a vintage LV Amazon bag and I truly like that one, I just don’t reach for it. I think the vintage LV are beautiful, that’s actually what started my love of luxury. I just acknowledge that we can, and do change our tastes, and maybe that’s what Niki did, but really we’ll never know🤷
@@saabguy9774 Thanks for the reply. Try to hold on to he vintage LV if you can. They are releasing new styles from the archives lately and as you point out, won't be made with the same quality as yesteryear. But if you decide to part with it, that's good too. It's all up to the individual. Best.
Beautiful read. I am happy for Niki. She was not pushing her agenda on anyone. I’d say her video definitely provoked those who are struggling with spending addiction
I am so proud of Niki. This excessive shopping and spending is not healthy at all. I too have been selling lots of my luxury items as well. I am feeling more lighter than before.
It's quite a feat she has taken on! I completely agree that excessive shopping and spending isn't healthy, and it's something I'm trying to work on myself. Congrats to you as well - ty for watching and commenting🥰
I am aligned with your perspective! Thank you for sharing 🩷
ty for watching!!♥️
it’s sort of interesting because I’ve found myself recently selling some bags, not for any other reason than I bought them, I tried to use them and they’re just not me. 😢 I held onto them for a couple years to be sure (and I hope I don’t regret it because I go through phases and prices keep going up), but it sort of stresses me out to have pieces I can’t use realistically on a regular basis because I simply have so many. i’m thinking maybe I want to buy more day to day pieces I can enjoy more often (like cosmetic bags, agendas/desk items, ready to wear, stuff like that), although I do love handbags!
It can be overwhelming sometimes to have too many of anything - if I am thinking of selling something, I usually do and don't regret it. I say go with your initial gut feeling ♥️♥️♥️
I just watched her video after watching yours. At first I saw that she was probably “burnt out” by luxury and wanted a reset since she was purging other items in her closet based on her previous videos. Which is totally valid. As she elaborated with her reasoning, one thing she said that I thought was interesting was the whole female competition thing, which makes be think that perhaps she got into luxury for the superficial/wrong reasons. I think a lot of us here in the handbag space just love bags and appreciate luxury pieces, and she may have gotten caught up with all the YT/content creating hype.
The comments in her video are a little savage but I kind of agree that there is some disingenuous intentions. The end of her video seemed very scripted. I really wanted to root for her but it could be an attempt for views by riding the other side of the pendulum.
Thanks for making this video! I might do a reaction video myself 😅
The female competition thing is an interesting perspective… I don't think about that at all to be frank… I am more into the love of each piece, or as much as you can love an inanimate object anyway :-). Elaine pointed out that it could be regret, even though she said that she did not regret...i don't regret the having but do sometimes regret the spending! Pls lmk if u do a video 🌸🩷
@@thehandbaghousewife I just published my video. I linked yours as a reference!
I think a lot of us are in the majority that we just love bags and it’s not about status, competition etc.
@@mjthegrayawesome I'll go watch now!
The majority of my bags are LV monogram. I love the ones I have and I’ll never sell them. If for some reason they were gone, my collection would consist of Mulberry, Givency and a few odds and ends of contemporary, Ralph Lauren and Cole Haan. My LVs are my favorites.
it sounds like you have a great collection! I am glad the world offers us so many fabulous selections so we can all have our own personal special style♥️♥️♥️
I didn’t watch her video but I’ve seen a lot on my feed about it. To each their own. One thing I’ve realized is how cyclical fashion trends are, and even my feelings towards them as I age. Some things I wish I had not gotten rid of, etc. I have mostly not- flashy bags but I do have several monogram pieces and I admit I feel a little uncomfortable wearing them these days with mile high inflation and people struggling to buy necessities, and I don’t go anywhere fancy but maybe 3x per year. I have a lot of “money” sitting in my closet and am considering selling some. Idk!
I regret very little of what I have sold… and I have moved away from wanting all monogram at least🤣. I try to be aware of my surroundings and pick the bag & jewelry accordingly - all of my clothing is inexpensive, so I don't have to be as choosy for what I sport on my body:)...Thanks so much for watching my video and for this very thoughtful comment💜💜💜
I always enjoy your take. If I got rid of all my logo bags, I would have a decent collection surprisingly. I discovered that it seems I already went through a "quiet luxury" phase that lasted over a decade and ended last year when I bought new LV bags.
All my Chanel and logo items prior to these bags, are 10+ years old. So it seems these 180 degree shifts come in waves. I have some really nice artisan made leather bags from Etsy and from travels to Europe that are so well made and beautiful. I'm talking handmade, some are woven leather that smell amazing. I love LV, always will and really gravitate towards the monogram pattern. I don't care if someone else thinks it's tacky or not. The moral of the story is to be certain you are doing what is best for you.
Awe thank u and thx for sharing! I would have a lot of bags left if monogram print was all I had to eliminate...but if I have to get rid of lettered turnlocks, Gucci Marmont GGs, YSL plaques, and single metal LVs off my bags I wouldn't have a lot left - around 80% gone...😆
I don’t know. Maybe she has been influenced herself suddenly and wants to look “old money.” You know what I mean? Like the ultra rich don’t wear logos.
I don’t have a lot of logo bags because I wear a lot of Dooney, Mulberry, Coach, and Longchamp. I don’t have a problem with logos. ☺️💕
Good point! I am good with both as well♥️♥️♥️
I think maybe 1/3 of my collection would be considered low key.
Sounds like we are kinda the same 🥰🤣♥️
Beautiful collection. Love the Dior Caro bag and you leather Longchamp. I would hate to have to get rid of my logo bags. I love them and enjoy wearing them too much.
Ty so much!!! I agree - thank goodness this is just an exercise ♥️♥️♥️
@@thehandbaghousewife no kidding
Great reaction to her video! I love that you showed us what would be left if you followed the same path 💜 such a different take than most UA-camrs and so interesting!!
I realized watching your video that I would still have ALL of my bags left 😊 I already prefer low key branding so most of my bags are vintage coach and Longchamp.
I REALLY want the Pochette Métis but know I would be uncomfortable carrying a logo bag. (I live in a smallish town in the Midwest - not far from you I think :)
I would be self conscious that people would either be questioning the amount of money I spent OR thinking that it’s fake … and I don’t want to feel that way.
thank you so much! Vintage Coach and longchamp are amazing bags to have :-). You have to check out the Paris 15 if you haven't already! It is better/as good as than the pochette métis 1000% in my opinion. I am getting the black with silver next, but there are also other colors, including navy and burgundy with antique gold hardware, the purple gray color with silver hardware, and pink with darker pink trim with gold hardware in the works!
Oh THANK you for sharing the colors in the works! I already ordered the buttercream color (and used your code - thank you :) And I’ve been heavily debating on the caramel color too but just can’t decide if it’s too orange/brown for me.
The pink sounds like something I would like…
I don’t know if you noticed but some of the bags have the vachetta trim and some colors have the same leather as the trim (like the buttercream and caramel) That has me wondering if they will be as nice as the one you have.
Do you think she might do a version with natural Vachetta?
Maybe too close to LV 😊 but would be amazing!
I don't think that any of the 15 bags are going to have untreated leather… It is all going to be dyed...only mine is like damier ebene - the other bags all seem to have either vachetta or togo - both are very nice:)
Only my Coach quilted Willis 18, once you removed the hangtag, would have no branding at all. I have some others with small logos, like a Polene, and my Brahmins too if you remove the charms have only a small nameplate you can't read unless you get really close. Oh, and my Coach Swagger 27, once you remove the hangtags, has only the tiniest logo (horse and carriage). I don't have a ton of bags, so actually about half would get to stay! But I like logos sometimes, flashy is fun! When you were showing your Pochette Metis in bicolor next to DUYP brown, I was showing the side-by-side to my husband. He was much more impressed with the LV, it's just so much flashier has you " stuntin' ", as we would say.
Flashy is fun! That's why 60
of my bags have gotta stick around:). Ty so much for sharing! Hubby sounds great 🥰🥰🥰🤣
I haven’t done a count but I’m fairly certain the majority of my handbags have some recognizable logo that would eliminate them from being considered quiet luxury! I do like having a few low key bags but I’m not afraid of the logos
Sounds like we are much the same:). I think logos are pretty but sometimes it's nice when they aren't there♥️
I totally agree with you that it would be a little boring! Quiet luxury is a trend and it will swing in a different direction, just like how Nikki might change her mind as her kids age. I have some thoughts that I’ll be sharing in my video on this topic too-stay tuned! 😊 Great video as always!
Awe thank you! I look forward to hearing your thoughts as well🥰🥰🥰
@@thehandbaghousewife thank you so much!! 😉
I have 6 lv logo bags and 2 small ones and a bunch of slg’s I want to sell, I haven’t used any of them in like 2 years at least! I feel some time of way now and only using all my mid price bags! I take care of all my bags but I don’t seem to care about them anymore! Going through some depression for a while now! Can you still get a good price for them if I sold them? I wouldn’t even know how to do that I’ve never sold anything before Lol
It depends on the style but usually LV logo bag hold some real value - maybe not what you paid but it would be worth looking into. Maybe request a quote from fashionphile...? I would also recommend trying ebay for selling:). Depression is tough - my dad always said you need 3 things to be happy - someone to love, something to do, and something to look forward to. Are you missing any of those three? Best wishes to you and feel free to reach out on email or dm. I also found out recently that you can call "988" and there are licensed counselors available to anyone in need♥️♥️♥️
@thehandbaghousewife thank you so much Aaryn for the kind words I hope am spelling your name right lol I searched my specific bags and it said that they hold their value pretty good especially the neverfull gm I’ll look into it some more! I’ll be ok and thank you again for reaching out and trying to help, I appreciate it ♥️
@lizflores-ortiz2197 Of course I wish you all the best and yes that's a great one!!! I love eBay because they protect you from scammers but fashionphile is probably the easiest route… They just don't give you a lot of money most of the time.
I still love the puff Longchamp bag of yours. ❤ I wonder if Nikki have postpartum.. which might explain how she feels right now.
Ty so much. That's a great point, she totally could - but I hope not as I've heard can be quite horrible😢♥️
She was not pushing her agenda on anyone. I’d say her video definitely provoked those who are struggling with spending addiction
I thing this is a trend and people don't want to admit they are going broke over luxury items or no longer can afford them so they are selling them to make some money!
Very good observation! This is partially why I am on my lower buy year (well not because I'm broke, but it just gets ridiculous at a certain point)! It just doesn't make sense to spend as much as UA-cam tends to drive influencers to do. ♥️♥️♥️
Wow if you were to do this it’s a good thing you were on a mulberry kick lately because that would be the majority of what you’d have left. I had never watched her before but I’ve seen so many people doing videos about her video that I did watch that one. She just seems to be over all the stuff she had but I do wonder how many of the big collectors look around and realize the amount of money they have in those items and start regretting.
no kidding! I HAVE had that feeling you mentioned - regret, but not so much because I regret or don't love what I have, but bc I regret what I've spent...ty so much for sharing!♥️
I've only watched that one video of Nikki's where she's getting rid of her logo bags and I didn't feel like she was imposing her views on others or judging others but just saying what she's doing and why. I knew her use of the word "herd" and about girls competing with each other would offend some people. I interpreted it as what she experienced.....maybe she felt like she had to buy whatever bag was in trend without actually liking it in order to create content. There are youtubers out there who do that but I don't follow them.
Some people (not you) seemed to take it as a personal attack but I think if they didn't like what she had to say then the best thing would be to not follow her, not to watch her video.
I love my logo and non logo bags and certainly won't be influenced by what she is doing. So short answer is no, I won't be getting rid of my logo bags, but it was fun to see what you would have left if you got rid of all your logo bags. I liked your fun take on a reaction to her video.
I do feel that its just a phase in her life (having young kids) and maybe she might regret selling her Chanel bags in the future.
Wow, what a thoughtful observation and reflection - thank you so much for your thoughts and feedback :-). I won't be getting rid of my logo bags either! thank you for watching and supporting my channel :-).
I watched her video but because I don't really follow or pay attention to luxury goods, I don't have an opinion on her specifically. I do know that the minimalist trend is happening though. Perhaps she's realized that all the $$$$$$ spent on those luxury goods are needed now that she has little kids? Kids are expensive! Most of my collection is Coach and haven't delved into luxury brands, other than 2 Mulberrys, because I can't spend that kind of $ on bags. I didn't get the feel that she was being judge-y though.
I only got the judgey feeling just slightly... that's why I only mentioned it once :-). I just tried to show what I would keep if I did what she did. That is a great point about having more money for the kids. Those little boogers are expensive :-). Thank you so much for watching and commenting.🥰🥰🥰
@@thehandbaghousewife oh no worries Aaryn!
it so high school mean girls as girl bye I love my coach men Briefcase and hope Get LV one
not sure what you mean?
@@thehandbaghousewife just because she thought it good for her get rid of her bags docent mean we all wasting our money so high school girl stuff like you are better now because you got rid of bags so I better then you
@@Restless318I agree with you ❤❤❤
In almost all the reactions to her video, people are so touchy because they see themselves in her criticisms of herself. People are just projecting when they get mad over things like this.
Basically the lesson is, If you are reading yourself into someone else's self reflection, maybe that means you should do some self reflection yourself?! Especially before you start bashing others for a different opinion or life stage. You don't need to come to the same conclusions as the other person but you should at least figure out why youre offended over nothing.😅
Please tell me how you think I am bashing anyone in the video - that was not my intent. I was just showing what my collection would be like if I did what she did...
I am a logo person bag true love logo ❤
I love it all😆😆😆
she is prob just bored. who needs 15 chanel bags, waste of money. i mean she had a ton.
I think she just doesn't wear them right now with two kids under the age of 5, but that's just my opinion;)🩷
