Hello Mary, I agree with your decision to return the heart bag in the end. I much prefer your other two pink bags anyway....and in fact I much prefer the pink of the pochette Metis. if you find that the heart bag is hard to get into ...it is likely you won't fell 100% happy when using it and therefore will not reach for it as often.
Thank you, I think it was the right decision to send the bag back: at that price point, it should be perfect, easy to use and not already make be doubt the purchase in the very first moments 💕
This is so funny! I've had this on my 24s Love List for AGES and almost went for it instead of my Papillon Trunk. My concern was that it was too pale pink and too girly for me. I'm happy with the choice I made.
Hi Mary, Congrats on 3k 🥰! Personally I wouldn’t keep it as the strap would definitely annoy me, also the shape of the heart isn’t my favorite. Maybe you can consider the mini speedy in pink patent, i think it’s also cheaper?
I think you're 💯 right - I didn't fall head over heels: and at that price point I SHOULD (and yes: I'm already very well off with my current collection 🩷). Happy Valentine's Day!
Hi Mary!! Funny, how today I just ordered a preloved LV for myself, also out of FOMO, amazing deal, and thinking that I can return it anyway. So I fully felt with you when you said you hope you don't love it so you can return it. Considering the price and your reaction (not being love at first sight), I think it's best to return it. There are bags out there (also limited Editions) that hold up their value way better in my opinion. I think this Valentine's day LV Edition is nothing so sought after, compared to other special/limited editions out there. I would "save" that money for another investment. But I think it's a great opportunity nowadays to be able to order something and return it without any issue if we are not convinced. 😊
So true: I‘m glad we can order, look at an item life in person and then decide. The next LV boutique is definitely too far away for me, to check out every item I might be interested in (eventhough my interest in general cooled down quite a bit anyways 😅). Thank you for sharing your thoughts 💕
Congratulations on your 3K, Mary! Love your channel! So, I don’t blame you for falling in love with such a cute bag … it is pretty adorable! If it were me, the struggle to use it would cause it to sit on a shelf. I doubt I’d use it. I think you made a good decision, as difficult as I’m sure it was! Reminding ourselves of what we already have at our disposal is invaluable. I’m trying to do this more myself because I’ve been buying a lot of bags in the past few years! I really do want to focus on enjoying what I have rather than chasing the next thing. Plus, I’m running out of space, haha! 😂❤
Thank you 🥰 - I was kinda shocked, when I realized I didn’t even have my pink Pochette Metis on my radar 🙈 one of my favorite bag shapes ever…. Uuuuh 😅🙈💕
I guess it would get super annoying the long run 🙈 - I‘ve seen a Coach heart-bag that had a piece of leather on the sides, to expand when opening the zipper: would be the better option here aswell 🤔
Though I completely support your decision my mom got this bag and I did a video on it and I completely fell in love with it 😂 I guess that’s why it’s called the fall in love collection 💛💛
I think you seem like you are in like but not in love. I totally agree that if it’s not giving all the feels it’s better to choose something else. It’s really cute though! Happy Valentine’s Day ❤ and congratulations on 3k! 🎉🎉🎉
I think you made the right decision to return it! Although it's cute alright :) Btw, I think we are seeing the Alayia heart shaped bag everywhere now :DD
Ooohh i was obsessed about that collection and i remember your videos from all those years ago reviewing the collection. She's stunning but not that functional 😅
Hi Mary! I think she’s a cutie, but….between the very small opening and the strap that hangs oddly…maybe she needs to be returned. I LOVE your pink alma and I think she is a much more elegant option! ❤
Altho it is cute, you don’t seem to love it to the point of excitement. If you haven’t returned it, you should. You will grab other bags that is much more functional. Unless you plan to leave it as a decoration.
I have not returned it - yet (but mainly, because I didn’t have time to arrange the return and shipment). Guess you’re right: it didn’t get me excited to the point it would be worth spending the price. Thank you for your advice 💕
I don’t think it matters what LV is doing on IG like taking down photos of people’s LV bag posts. You shouldn’t buy bags for posts. It makes more sense to buy bags because you like them and it is functional. Don’t ever buy bags for views and posts.
Hmm, maybe I didn’t find the right words: I didn’t mean to just keep it for content, but the fact that LV is taking down our pictures, is just so unpleasant from them, that I do not really want to keep supporting them with my money. If they disrespect their customers in that way, there’s no reason for me to keep buying that brand (if they think we’re not good enough to post pictures, that show their products, my money definitely is too good for them). Not sure if I‘m able to explain it 😅🙈
@@LuMiLevelUpGotcha. I can see why you wouldn’t want to support them in that sense. Chanel has been doing that before LV. I think LV is following Chanel’s lead. Of course it is within your right to buy or not buy from them anymore. They know that people will continue to buy from them because of their established brand and exclusivity making us feel of worth. It is all a marketing ploy to make people lust after their products even at outrageous prices with low quality control.
Hahaha, that would be a nice profit 😁 but tax laws in Germany are quite strict: I would have to open up a resell business, to even be allowed to list an item with such a high profit margin
It easily can hold my phone and some small necessities - but the small opening probably would annoy me the long run. Thank you for sharing your thoughts 💕
I just don’t like the strap flapping around, that keeps me from buying many bags. Could they not added a flat loop to hold that flap to the bag? It’s the small design details like that can make or break my decision.
Very good point! If a bag at this price point can’t hold a phone, it‘s a definite NO for me aswell. I forgot to mention it in the video, but my iPhone 14 easily fits 👌
Hmmm, I think LV has not done very well. It is more a triangle with a dent than a heart 💔 I would rather prefer a more rounded heart shaped bag like from Coach for a fraction of the price 😉
I have to admit: I myself had that tought aswell - the Coach heart bag seems to have the better construction (shapewise aswell as the way the opening works). Thank you for sharing your thoughts 💕
Mary! Kompletnie niepraktyczne jest to, jak ta torebka sie otwiera. Mysle, ze jak slodka by nie byla, to za ta cene nie warto jej zatrzymywac, ja bym odeslala. Usciski! 🌸
For the price you paid, and the lack of excitement, I would say return it. You want to be giddy over it for that price. It’s pretty yes, but I think you know deep down you won’t use it.
I think you might be absolutely right: this is probably not a bag, that I would end up using a lot (not just is the opening unpractical, but aswell I already do have some pinkt bags that could do the job) - thank you for sharing your opinion 💕
@@LuMiLevelUp That´s easy! More reasons for not feeling bad for returning: the strap looked annoying, the dent at the point of the heart was a nuissance, the colour looked fairly boring (too pale) and the small opening would have kept ruining your nails and slgs and driven you crazy all the time.... I was thinking couldn´t you paint the lipstick heart you loved so much on your small pink Alma? Or onto a plain back charm?
Cute bag but I don’t like it, too impractical.😂 As for what luxury houses do with their brand, it’s their prerogative. As content creators, the content should be for people like us, not the luxury house. If creators do not like the brand, then do not buy anything from them. I don’t buy Chanel as I find their marketing strategies arrogant and obnoxious. If I really want anything Chanel, I buy resale, so the brand does earn anything from me. Even though it may get some eyeballs but the main point is that I like it. So hopefully you will continue to create content that you enjoy and those who follow you enjoy too. 🎉🎉🎉
Louis Vuitton used to be my favorite luxury brand, but in recent years I bought several items from them with quality issues - and now the „luxury purge“, that is going on on Instagram, is a huge upturn for me. Guess I‘ll stick to preloved - or not even going for that brand anymore at all. This bag is a return for me. Thank you for sharing your opinion 💕
You are wearing the PERFECT outfit for this bag 😍💕🌸 so gorgeous
Aaawww, thanks a lot 🥰💕

the strap hanging off the side of the bag is a return for me! I like your other two pink LV bags more :)
Thank you 🥰 you‘re right: I‘m good with the pink bags I already do own 💕
Big congratulations on 3k Mary! ❤❤❤
Thank you 🥰🥳
This is so funny! I've had this on my 24s Love List for AGES and almost went for it instead of my Papillon Trunk. My concern was that it was too pale pink and too girly for me. I'm happy with the choice I made.
Uuuuh, I had no idea, that you had an eye on that bag aswell Gwenny 💕 - but I agree: the Papillon Trunk is the perfect fit for you 💜
Hi Mary, it's pretty and suits you. You can't have enough pink bags 😊. Do keep it.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts Nina 💕
Hi Mary, Congrats on 3k 🥰!
Personally I wouldn’t keep it as the strap would definitely annoy me, also the shape of the heart isn’t my favorite.
Maybe you can consider the mini speedy in pink patent, i think it’s also cheaper?
Thank you 🥰 and thanks for sharing your thoughts aswell!
I think Mary,that you should send it back because getting in the bag was too hard…and you already have pink bags.😉💖
I think you're 💯 right - I didn't fall head over heels: and at that price point I SHOULD (and yes: I'm already very well off with my current collection 🩷). Happy Valentine's Day!
It does look like a smudged lipstick! Love the pink and the heart shape!
The lipsticks detail is so cute 💋 but worth the price?
@@LuMiLevelUp I wouldn't pay extra for the lipstick mark no. Id say same price as the usual style bag it should be
@@AdamRidgway1 no idea how much a heart-shaped bag without the lipstick would be - but 2k seems like a normal LV leather bag price to me 😅

Oh I got one too from 24s!! Luv mine & I know you will luv urs too!!
Congratulations Steph, enjoy your cutie! I was so surprised, when I saw that bag pop up on 24s 💕
Good decision to return. The small opening would be a deal breaker for me.
I guess it would get super annoying the long run 🙈 - I‘ve seen a Coach heart-bag that had a piece of leather on the sides, to expand when opening the zipper: would be the better option here aswell 🤔

I absoluty see the potential to fall in love with that bag 💕 hope your Mom enjoys it!
@@LuMiLevelUp thank you!!
I think you seem like you are in like but not in love. I totally agree that if it’s not giving all the feels it’s better to choose something else. It’s really cute though!
Happy Valentine’s Day ❤ and congratulations on 3k! 🎉🎉🎉
Happy Valentine’s & Galentine’s Day Dawn 💕🥰! Thank you ❤️
I think you made the right decision to return it! Although it's cute alright :) Btw, I think we are seeing the Alayia heart shaped bag everywhere now :DD
I think you’re right: the Alayia is the heart-bag of the season. The LV one is already past seasons 😁
Personally, I am not keen on heart shaped bags, but I feel that that is a 'man' thing! Thank you for the video! Congratulations on the 3000!
Thank you Daniel 🥰 - I see, a heart-shaped bag indeed has quite a feminine touch 😁
Ooohh i was obsessed about that collection and i remember your videos from all those years ago reviewing the collection. She's stunning but not that functional 😅
I still don’t know, if the „Asia only“ information my SA gave me back then, is true 🤔
Hi Mary! I think she’s a cutie, but….between the very small opening and the strap that hangs oddly…maybe she needs to be returned. I LOVE your pink alma and I think she is a much more elegant option! ❤
Thank you 🥰 you're right: by now the decision was made and the bag got returned 💕 I'm better off with the pink bags I already do have in my collection

I think you should sell it for 9,000 Euros. :)
Hahaha, that would be a nice profit 😁 but tax laws in Germany are quite strict: I would have to open up a resell business, to even be allowed to list an item with such a high profit margin
It is certainly cute, but I can’t imagine it fits very much due to the shape.
It easily can hold my phone and some small necessities - but the small opening probably would annoy me the long run. Thank you for sharing your thoughts 💕
3K!!!
Thank you 🥰🥳 - my recent VC video made me jump form 3k to 3.1k in no time 😅🙈
Oh or is 3k the price for that bag in the US? 😂
I just don’t like the strap flapping around, that keeps me from buying many bags. Could they not added a flat loop to hold that flap to the bag? It’s the small design details like that can make or break my decision.
I aswell didn’t like that flappy strap - not sure, if it would bother me more, than the small opening though . Thank you for sharing your thoughts 💕
💕😇
❤️💕
But does it fit a phone? That’s always the question I want to ask with smaller and unusually shaped bags.
Very good point! If a bag at this price point can’t hold a phone, it‘s a definite NO for me aswell. I forgot to mention it in the video, but my iPhone 14 easily fits 👌

A bit too girly i think... thankfully the returns with 24s are not that fussy as with LV 😉
Truuuue - I felt way better to order on 24s to take a look live in person, to then decide, than I ever felt ordering directly on the LV website 🙈
Mary! Kompletnie niepraktyczne jest to, jak ta torebka sie otwiera. Mysle, ze jak slodka by nie byla, to za ta cene nie warto jej zatrzymywac, ja bym odeslala. Usciski! 🌸

Absolutely no need to be sorry! Actually: give me more reasons to not feel bad for returning 😂💕
@@LuMiLevelUp That´s easy!

i def would return. don't like it.
