You were not harsh, it is only your humble opinion. You had me laughing out loud. "Even if they were free, I wouldn't want them". Nice to see your sense of humor even if you were not trying to be funny.
Who here think Eileen has the best advice for her viewers? Most of the items on the list i would not even take for free. I have 3 Balmain tees and that's about it, in fact when ever my best friend want to go off the rail I would recommend her to watch your videos.. thanks so much for keeping me in check with spending.
Thank you for putting this video together! You are one of my favorite UA-camrs! I guess the restrictions in movement due to the pandemic has gotten me to re-think how I spend my money and what I buy in general. I agree with you on most of the items. Although I love watching UA-cam Lux videos, I am learning to enjoy what I have in my wardrobe and not let social media influence my choices and purchases.
Couldn’t agree more! These designer fashion houses are literally producing anything they can to make a profit! It’s getting a bit ridiculous. Who would’ve thought we’d all need a lipstick case in 2020?! We all wear face masks these days so there’s no real need to wear lipstick anyways 😂
Great video. I have the Dior Friendship Bracelets but I paid less than retail. I really like them for everyday wear. Cute designer wear, comfortable, and they don’t hurt my toddler son in any way while we are playing throughout the day.
100% agree with you! I genuinely appreciate the mindset you bring to luxury consumption which is with a calm and purposeful mindset, centering quality and yourself instead of status and outward values
I think the worst luxury purchases are those that sit in your closet without any use. If you spend $400 on a designer necklace or bracelet and you wear it everyday, that sounds like money well spent. However, if you own a closet full of handbags and only use one or two and occasionally a third, the rest are a waste of money and should be replaced with items that will get better use. ☺️
Agreed to all your listed items. Also, can't help but noticed your necklace. I'm glad you finally wore this. Hermes jewelries is something I have on my list for 2021 and that necklace is definitely on the list and so is the bangle.
So many ways to part with your money! I agree, none of these would be on my list to buy. I'd love to see you post another video of luxury pieces worth buying, I really liked the first one you posted.
Anytime a video of yours is recommended I always agree with what you have to say. You’re the only one I’ve watched that can see how much money is wasted on paying for the name on costume jewellery from designer houses when you could buy real gold! I’ve finally subscribed to you :)
Great insightful video. I agree with everything except the key cases . The key cases protect your slg’s from getting scratched, furthermore it’s multipurpose ; I use the LV Cle ( key pouch) as a credit card case, and the six key ring holder has a slot to put drivers license and a debit card as well. You don’t sound harsh. You are rational. That Hermes case for $1500 is absolutely insane. The PVC bags, designer air pod case, Prada hair clips , Jadore t-shirt are also insane . Thx for another great video.
Always love hearing your thoughts, Eileen! When it comes to luxury, I believe in buying for quality and craftsmanship rather than buying for the sake of a designer logo. I also take into account practicality, versatility and cost per wear/use. I tend to stay away from trendy items as a general principle. Wishing you well! Xx
Hi Eilean , I completely agree with you. I just don't understand how they can charge that amount of money ..... when you said about 'I wouldn't even get it if it was free ' that made me smile because I use that saying too depending on the product. Thanks again for sharing alk these things with us. Always a pleasure watching tour clips. :)
This is my first comment. I have a Louis Vuitton phone case and love it for several reasons. One, it brings me joy. Two, I can leave the house with my phone case and keys and can run all my errands. Three, and most importantly it keeps my phone safe. When I first bought my phone I had a basic case on it, dropped it on a night cruise in Shanghai, and cracked only the protective cover (fortunately) but thought I had destroyed my phone. Mine is a plain LV case but the phone is inside. It is very easy for me to hold onto and is comfortable in my hand. I agree with everything else that you suggested and enjoy having found your channel this past October.
100% agree! Now I can not afford many of the items, and some people would possibly say I’m jealous for expressing my opinion on wasteful items. The Jacquemus mini just makes me angry; some many celebrities flaunting these silly “bags” and people thinking it is a Must item 🙄
Love love your videos. Always keeping me grounded. I see all these things in Instagram and then I come see your videos and realize, girl come back down and don’t bother. I agree with all of these. Also I wanted the jadior tshirt since I was a teen. Super glad I’ve let it go. The same with shoes. At the moment I can’t justify the price of shoes. Prefer a bag.
I personally agree with everything except the balmain in t shirt, not exactly the one you showed but the regular t shirts because I think it looks way classier and better than like a Gucci or balenciaga t shirt. Loved your video😊
I watch your videos to bring me down to earth. I almost purchased a Chanel phone case recently because I could afford it now! (I’m saving up for a purse.). You are so right about all these items.
Definitely agree to all your purchases above and all these will never make it to my wish list. All these if i really want, i can get it at Amazon, fast fashion stores or any gadgets outlet that cost so much cheaper.
Thank you so much for the enlightenment. I was contemplating on buying on some items you mentioned, true I’ll just have to save money just in case a “worth buy” comes up. Keep safe!
I feel Uniqlo t-shirt are much softer and friendly to the skin compared to Dior t-shirt fabric. And I find Dior's neck cutting is not that flattering for me.
I agree with you 100%. I don't own any of these items. I only buy classic now. I feel some brands are even trendy. And I don't have AirPods. You're right about, Luxury houses are taking advantage of the consumer. Thank you for making these videos. I highly enjoy them from you.
Yes! oh my goodness.. I can't possibly think of paying so much money for any of those items specially the lipstick leather covers or a plastic handbag (really...) Have a good week Eileen!
I agree with them all except for the key pouch/key rings. I use my key pouches as mini “catch alls” and I have one LV key ring that I use not as a key ring but as a bag charm. 😊
Eagle Creek drawstring SUPER LIGHT pouch with interior little pockets. I can keep things all together and it is light as a feather. I like slouchy, non-structured LV Speedy B 30. Not sure I will like it visually in my LV NF MM.
I'm so glad you asked the question because I think designer straw bags aren't worth the money either. If you're looking for a good quality straw bag, Kayu is a fantastic brand xx
I agree with almost everything, I do have amassed a great collection of designer tshirts, but I have to admit I have bought them all at the outlets. Some of these are very good quality (gucci, valentino) some not so much (YSL are not very good quality, although there are exceptions). I do wear them a lot though, or used to when I had a life outside home ;)
In Eileen we trust. Completely agree with you, I will not be buying any more designer t-shirts. In my experience they are not better quality than tees from Vince, Theory or similar. Instead I could buy multiple of those for the price of one.
In my humble opinion, some of these items (eg the Dior Friendship bracelets) are addressed to those people who want to purchase something luxurious from high fashion brands, but they cannot afford a big piece (as a bag, for example). So this way they can own and “show” something with logos, and authentic, but without spending thousands on it. Just a way to get new clients, most of them young, and keep them entertained until they get their first job and can afford something bigger.
@@ColourfulNoir exactly :). One only has to open Instagram, and see all those influencers attending the shows in Dior, or getting bags for free... They are addressing an audience of people in their 20s, who can’t buy a Lady Dior but will fight to get the friendship bracelets... Marketing for Generation Z is the strategy. Thanks for your videos by the way, I’m a huge fan! 🥰😘
i absolutely agree with Eileen! i admit i own a few designer cellphone cases, they are cute however with elaborate designs they don't fit into some bags nor pockets which was annoying overtime so i stopped using them Also i own a collection of YSL & LV t-shirts, which were all purchased in mid 2000s the quality & price were very different back then. All of them are still in wonderful condition & i enjoy wearing them, however i would never buy 600 Pound t-shirt today.
Hello, totally agree. Purses are supposed to contain one's stuffs so I don't really understand why someone would buy tiiiiny handbags and super expensive at that 😁 Love your hair. You look even more younger. 😊
I need my handbags to fit a small wallet, Sunglasses or reading glasses, lipstick, phone, hand cream,etc. I prefer at least 9-10”. Why carry a bag and then carry everything in my hand? Eileen, you are the best! Other ladies are trying to sell me promotions.
What a great video! I think all those items you mentioned are items I wouldn't even take for free. Isn't there enough rubbish in this world already? The most prestigious fashion houses shouldn't be producing these kind of objects at all!
I have Valentino T-Shirt..with the VLTN in red..and I completely agree with you..the quality isn't that good at all.. I wore it 3-4 times and the logo is already fading off.. I feel now it looks like a fake.. so yea.. not really buying another designer t-shirt in the near future..
I'm laughing out loud and completely agree with you!!!😂 But I have some SLG collection that I should have to let go!!!😝 Not worth buying and I'm not even using them. Just in my closet!☺️ Thanks for your honest opinion!!!😅
I bought an LV case. It’s super cute! It’s a Cat Earphone Holder as described in the website. Certainly a collector’s piece for me. I’m a cat person and found that for $500 was gem. They no longer have that on website
I like the Balmain T-shirts because they actually have a design and you can buy them in many different styles. I have 5 of them, all different colors but one of them has a very good quality with thicker material. I don't know why and how.
Another wonderful video. ❤ I 100% agree with everything item you talked about. I personally don't feel the need to purchase any of these items. I would rather spend my money on high quality luxury pieces that will last me 5,10,15,20yrs.❤
I absolutely love your thoughts on shopping mindfully. After following you, many of my shopping thoughts have changed. Thank you. Also, your necklace is beautiful, where did you get it?
I totally agree with you. I can understand people saving money to invest in a beautiful timeless leather handbag (my goal) but to spend so much money on these items I just can't get my head around.
Really enjoy this video and make a lot of sense. I too find the inserts sell by Hermes, 7 RP very expensive. May I know how you keep the Birkin in its shape ? Thank you and stay safe :)
Do you think the Jacquemus in the medium/large size would be worth the money? It seems to keep resale value and I'm unsure if it'll remain a classic or not :/
One more question: do you have any recommendations for handbag that can be carried in the rain? It rains a lot at where I live. Will Hermès epson leather more rain resistant? Or Luis Vuitton damire ebene is the only choice?
Thank you for the video, I couldn’t agree more! On another note, I would like some advice. I have just bought my first Chanel pieces in caviar leather, a wallet on chain and a card holder. I am wondering if I should spray it with water stop or leather protect? I usually would with calfskin items. The SA advice not to. What are your thoughts? Has anyone sprayed their Chanel caviar pieces before?
It is lovely to own really nice items but I do often wonder about some people's sanity when it comes to spending on such items that you have mentioned. Still, it takes all sorts, as the old adage goes! I too have a black Balmain T Shirt and although I wash it at 30 degrees, the colour started to fade with the first wash. I am not impressed and won't be buying one again anytime soon.
So sorry to hear that JayJay! Mine are OK in terms of colour but the buttons are starting to annoy me no end seeing the shirt can feel rather uneven xx
Although I own a pair of Gucci loafers and sneakers, many of Gucci products look tacky to me. I'm not sure if it's the influence of American rappers or the designs and colors used. Same for Fendi.
No designer label is worth paying ridiculous amounts for!! I’d rather buy a great piece of non designer fine jewelry with that money. Thanks for the video.
I wonder how many obsolete stocks these fashion houses have at the end of the year. I hardly ever see anyone using designer lipstick cases and AirPod cases in real life.
First of all I love your videos and Im not a luxury buyer but Im a buyer nevertheless and take your advise to heart even for very affordable clothing. Second I was browsing Aliexpress and see those of 1 euro lol I don’t copies of brands but I was wondering if those really existed as an authentic accessory… apparently they do. Its a piece of fabric lol.
Eileen great video, so useful for everybody’s pockets. Do you agree with hermes silver jewerly prices, i.e Collier de Chien ring, small model, which cost 405 pounds? Sometimes people want to buy some fine jewelry pieces, however can not afford to spend 6000 pounds for cartier or hermes gold bracelets, and don't have patience to wait and make economy to acquire one. So we rush to well know brands to obtain silver jewerly, e.g. Tiffany, or Hermes. But at the end of the day it might be more reasonable to get gold jewelry pieces from small jewelry shop in neighborhood. What do you think?
Hi Olga, I personally would prefer gold/ precious metal, even if its from a more contemporary brand or local jeweller. However, branded jewellery (including silver) can keep their values better, so if you're sure you're going to wear the piece for a long time, I would say go with what makes your heart sing xx
You were not harsh, it is only your humble opinion. You had me laughing out loud. "Even if they were free, I wouldn't want them". Nice to see your sense of humor even if you were not trying to be funny.
Haha thank you! I spent a lot of time decluttering this year, so Gucci or not, I now refuse to bring any clutter into my home 😄 xx
Who here think Eileen has the best advice for her viewers? Most of the items on the list i would not even take for free. I have 3 Balmain tees and that's about it, in fact when ever my best friend want to go off the rail I would recommend her to watch your videos.. thanks so much for keeping me in check with spending.
I agree! Definitely a voice of reason in the luxury world.
Totally agree. She keeps me grounded. I get tempted and then I look at her videos. Brings me back to reality.
Aww that's so sweet, thank you so much Leah! xx
Completely agree with you. Thank you for encouraging us to shop wisely and enjoy what we buy.
Thanks for watching! Glad you found it helpful xx
Omg I just sold my Jacquemus le chiquito bag! I was so over how little the bag was and couldn’t even fit my lipgloss in it! Definitely not worth it
Thank you for sharing! Would be great if you could share with us why you decided to get the bag xx

Same thoughts, can be much shorter
Couldn’t agree more! These designer fashion houses are literally producing anything they can to make a profit! It’s getting a bit ridiculous. Who would’ve thought we’d all need a lipstick case in 2020?! We all wear face masks these days so there’s no real need to wear lipstick anyways 😂
Hang the lipstick case on the christmas tree instead.. :D
Haha I didn't think of that seeing I don't wear lipsticks! But when you put it like that, there's really minimal need for lipstick shopping xx
Exactly! I guess they made those lipstick cases to flaunt that they are wearing one because it’s hidden by the 😷 really funny 😆

I like your style of luxury minimalist. I agree with your color preferences, practicality and humbleness.
Thank you so much! xx

And I thought a lipstick case for 70€ was expensive... 😇😁

Another wonderful video. ❤ I 100% agree with everything item you talked about. I personally don't feel the need to purchase any of these items. I would rather spend my money on high quality luxury pieces that will last me 5,10,15,20yrs.❤
I totally agree!xx
Completely agree, all things, having mentioned, are rubbish and waste of money. I would rather save money for something substantial.
Glad you liked the video Tasha xx
I absolutely love your thoughts on shopping mindfully. After following you, many of my shopping thoughts have changed. Thank you. Also, your necklace is beautiful, where did you get it?
I'm so glad to hear that! My necklace is the Hermes Gambade in rose gold xx
I love your videos! So informative and your so smart! Thank you for the information! 💕
Thank you so much!xx
You're so right about the cases and PVC bags, their outrageous prices and extremely limited function. Looking cute does become boring in this sense.
I totally agree with you. I can understand people saving money to invest in a beautiful timeless leather handbag (my goal) but to spend so much money on these items I just can't get my head around.
I agree! No Dior pencils or Gucci hair clips for me 🙈
A well thought out video ^^ & I can’t agree more ~
Thank you! xx
Really enjoy this video and make a lot of sense. I too find the inserts sell by Hermes, 7 RP very expensive. May I know how you keep the Birkin in its shape ? Thank you and stay safe :)
What do you think of the dior box bag? The big one with nice prints at the front? Thanks
Excellent video ✅ I agree with everything on the list.
Awesome! Thank you!xx
Do you think the Jacquemus in the medium/large size would be worth the money? It seems to keep resale value and I'm unsure if it'll remain a classic or not :/
I must say I'm not a big fan of the Jacquemus pieces but it might just be me xx
I enjoyed your video. I purchased my designer hair accessories between 2001-2009. Yes, I still have them. The prices were much lower then. 😏
One more question: do you have any recommendations for handbag that can be carried in the rain? It rains a lot at where I live. Will Hermès epson leather more rain resistant? Or Luis Vuitton damire ebene is the only choice?
Epsom is great for that but I think nothing beats LV Damiere Ebene in the rain xx
@@ColourfulNoir will the palm spring mini backpack be good to carry in light rainy days?
Eileen this video is so good not sure why I wasn’t notified when my bell is on ..
Hi Sean, thank you for dropping by xx
Thank you for the video, I couldn’t agree more!
On another note, I would like some advice. I have just bought my first Chanel pieces in caviar leather, a wallet on chain and a card holder. I am wondering if I should spray it with water stop or leather protect? I usually would with calfskin items. The SA advice not to. What are your thoughts? Has anyone sprayed their Chanel caviar pieces before?
Hi Frances, I find caviar leather to be quite durable so I've never sprayed any products on my Chanel pieces. Sorry I couldn't be of much help xx
@@ColourfulNoir thanks for the advice Eileen 😀
It is lovely to own really nice items but I do often wonder about some people's sanity when it comes to spending on such items that you have mentioned. Still, it takes all sorts, as the old adage goes! I too have a black Balmain T Shirt and although I wash it at 30 degrees, the colour started to fade with the first wash. I am not impressed and won't be buying one again anytime soon.
So sorry to hear that JayJay! Mine are OK in terms of colour but the buttons are starting to annoy me no end seeing the shirt can feel rather uneven xx
Agree with you 100% On another note your hair looks amazing! Suits you so well
Oh thank you! xx
Although I own a pair of Gucci loafers and sneakers, many of Gucci products look tacky to me.
I'm not sure if it's the influence of American rappers or the designs and colors used.
Same for Fendi.
I agree! Green and red are just not my kind of combination xx
Your advice is always at point.
Thank you! xx
No designer label is worth paying ridiculous amounts for!! I’d rather buy a great piece of non designer fine jewelry with that money. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for sharing!xx
I wonder how many obsolete stocks these fashion houses have at the end of the year. I hardly ever see anyone using designer lipstick cases and AirPod cases in real life.
It makes me cringe just to think of the number. And to know that many burn the obsolete stock 😴 Fashion really needs to slow downnn.
It will hurt my heart to see those goods getting destroyed and burnt, it's probably best if they were never made just to go to waste xx
Please introduce your necklace. I saw the necklace in the hermes collection video but I would like to hear about more detail of the necklace.
Hi Blair, the necklace is Hermes Gambade in rose gold xx
I agree on everything ... thanks for the advise and being practical.... new subscriber here ..
Thank you for your support! Welcome to my YT family xx
Totally agree with you with all the pieces that you talked about!
Thank you so much xx
First of all I love your videos and Im not a luxury buyer but Im a buyer nevertheless and take your advise to heart even for very affordable clothing.
Second I was browsing Aliexpress and see those of 1 euro lol I don’t copies of brands but I was wondering if those really existed as an authentic accessory… apparently they do. Its a piece of fabric lol.
Eileen great video, so useful for everybody’s pockets. Do you agree with hermes silver jewerly prices, i.e Collier de Chien ring, small model, which cost 405 pounds? Sometimes people want to buy some fine jewelry pieces, however can not afford to spend 6000 pounds for cartier or hermes gold bracelets, and don't have patience to wait and make economy to acquire one. So we rush to well know brands to obtain silver jewerly, e.g. Tiffany, or Hermes. But at the end of the day it might be more reasonable to get gold jewelry pieces from small jewelry shop in neighborhood. What do you think?
Hi Olga, I personally would prefer gold/ precious metal, even if its from a more contemporary brand or local jeweller. However, branded jewellery (including silver) can keep their values better, so if you're sure you're going to wear the piece for a long time, I would say go with what makes your heart sing xx
Great video!Thanks.
Glad you liked it! xx
I love your Channel so much 💗 you are really Inspiring me💗
Thank you so much!! xx
Can you recommend any online site for pre loved handbags apart from Saclab . Thanks x
Hi Chris, I've used Designer Exchange and NPN Handbags too xx
