What’s so beautiful about the hacker one is the close up of the canvas! Both bags are stunning and it was great seeing how you place items in and what exactly fits. Always shouting out to Zane too, the tennis pro!! Woot! 🎾❤️🌸
Great review and comparison Caleb! Both are so beautiful 😍😍😍 I’m salivating over the Ophidia - the suede is so luxurious….BUT you know me and suede! 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for sharing and hope you have a great weekend ahead!
Thank you, Flo! They're both such great bags! Haha, and I know how you feel about suede, it freaks me out a little too! 😂 😆 I hope you have a great weekend as well!
I bought the original mini Ophidia bag in 2019. I absolutely love it. I may have mentioned it before but it’s perfect for what I need. I love that it’s small but still fits what I need and it’s so lightweight.🥰
I do love this style from Gucci. I had the Ophidia Flora version, but I sold it to Fashionphile and got the Chanel O case. It was a bit too small for me, but I think you carry less so it’s perfect. I love the Hacker version. It’s so creative and will be a collector’s item. It’s great that you snagged it!
The Ophidia Flora version sounds lovely, but if you carry a lot, I can see why it didn't work. AND you got a Chanel out of the deal! I'm glad I snagged it too! I hope you have a great week, Dawn!
Great review and I love how you made the comparison. I bought the Hacker tote from Balenciaga and zippy card holder from Gucci. I added a D ring to the card holder and attached it to the Hacker tote as a key charm. Perfect match! I have asked the Gucci SA whether the Hacker tote was made from Gucci and visa versa. They confirmed no 😬. So I really appreciate both houses do pay attention to details 😃. Love this collab. New subbie 🤗
Hi there, welcome!! Thank you for the kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed the review. The tote was such a good choice, and I love that you hung the cardholder from it- awesome idea!!
obsessed with the hacker version, it looks so functional and hardwearing. I also love that its like same same but different to the GG supreme canvas. I also love the mixture of the suede and the black shiny leather, it's quite interesting but suede bags omg it would FALL apart in Vancouver ahaha
Omg me too!! And I love suede, it’s my favorite material, but makes me nervous to use. Chicago also isn’t a great place for it, especially with wind and snow right now. 😅😅🤣
I love that you have both of them to compare in detail. The only con: it will be so hard to get hands on the Balenciaga hacker project version 😁 It‘s neither crazy, nor excessive 😏 if the shape works for you, it‘s very reasonable to go for it again and again 😁
Me too! I’m glad I didn’t pass on the Ophidia bag! You’re right, the Hacker bag will be harder to get, but I think some of the pieces can still be found! And I might use your justification for another Ophidia bag too!! 😄😄
The suede bag gives me vintage vibes because of the patent leather, i love the hacker version because it stays true to their house so much even down to the strap with all the holes in it. Kinda reminds me of my hourglass bag - the strap on it is so long that when I wear it on the longest setting it touches just below my knee.
You're so right! They're both great bags, I'm so happy that I didn't second-guess myself when buying the Gucci one. And I lol'ed at the thought of the Hourglass strap being so long- I love it!! How do you like your Hourglass bag? I've had one on my wishlist for quite a while now!
@@CalebSnell it’s bold structure makes it feel so professional & put together. The gold B compliments the black leather perfectly. I often wrap the strap around my body twice for an exaggerated look like they did on the runway.
I enjoyed the video and have been watching your channel recently. Not sure why my comment was deleted. I was just commenting that I own the version from the Gucci Men’s line that had the cotton linen lining and it also has the leather in the front pouch. I believe Gucci just doesn’t use the leather in the pouch when using the the microfiber lining. The hackers project uses the Men’s version for most of the design except the horizontal shape. The Men’s has zipper without border and the Marmont logo on bottom and the tonal stitching and it also has the different shape hardware for the strap.
Hi Grant! I hope you don't think I deleted the comment, I genuinely appreciate each comment and only remove the occasional mean comment or the comments peddling fake bags (I get those daily, so annoying! lol). But anyway, thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! You're absolutely right in your comment though! I hadn't compared it to the men's Ophidia line, and that's really interesting to learn! 😊
@@CalebSnell it might have been because I put the url to the bag I own from the Gucci website, I’m not sure what happened. Thanks for the response, I actually learned that mine had the leather in the front pouch because I check after your video. Don’t use it so never noticed. It’s really interesting tho because it looks like they combined two of the Gucci bags to create the hacker one. Taking bits from each.
Hahaha Eileen!! You’re killing me! 🤣🤣 We’re just going to make the rules up as we go, it’s going to be iconic! 😆😆 but I’m glad you enjoyed the review!!
Which do you like more? The Hacker Project or the Ophidia?
Hacker obviously 🙄 😆
Ophidia!! I feel like it more timeless than the Hacker Project.
Ophidia 😍
A very fun bag with such ease when carrying them. Might have to borrow 💁♂️😘
We'll see about that... lol!

Thank you so much Julie!! They're such easy bags to carry, and hold all the essentials! Zane says hi!! 🎾 😃
This was an excellent presentation and very informative. Loved it!!!! I like both bags. Thanks for sharing 🤗👜🛍️👛.
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it!! 😊
You playing in the background love it every time
Haha shameless self-promotion 😄🤣

Great comparison Caleb! The lining is such a nice detail! I love both versions. The hacker project is a cool collaboration! 🥰
Thank you, Jamie!! I love both bags, they're so classic in their own right, and the Hacker is so much fun! 🤩
Very nice! I actually have the denim one and love ❤️ it. Omg! I’ve had mine flip over! 😬 great comparison. I like both as well.
I love the denim! Have you had any issues with the denim transferring to your clothing? Haha the dreaded flip- I'm glad I'm not alone in that!!
I prefer the hacker project one just cos I am worried about managing suede.
Zane is too funny with the editing. Keep it up💕💕💕🤣🤣
Omg me too!! I love the idea of suede, but it gives me anxiety 😅 and I was dying watching Zane’s edit- so funny! 🤣😂🤣🤣
I’m glad you liked the editing! 😆
Ohhhh yes i asked for this, thank you babe - i am certainly team Orphidia🔥great video as always hun♥️
Thank you, Tlaki! I’m glad you enjoyed it, and great idea for a video! I love the Ophidia too 😍😍
It's so adorable I love this one!! Thanks for doing this comparison and review!! 😎🥰
Thank you Jane!! It's such a great bag... well they both are... but I'm glad you enjoyed the review!
Love the Hacker Project bag, but also the regular Gucci print version as well! Great video ❤️
Both are such great prints! It's hard to choose a favorite! Thank you so much!!
This is such a cute bag!! I hadn't seen this one from the collection. I love camera bags - they're so easy to wear. Great review Caleb! 🥰
Thank you Jas! I love camera bags too, they’re low-fuss and so easy to use! I’m glad you enjoyed the review! 😄😄

You're so right! Even though it's small, it's the perfect bag!! The weight is the best part, it's so light!

Have to get some hacker stuff before it runs out! Great content! Will subscribe!
Definitely!! And thank you for subscribing!
Both are so pretty! Hacker Project is more fun, and the Ophidia is more sophisticated! 🙌🏼
Thank you!! I agree, and that what I love about them. Virtually the same bag but totally different vibes!!
subscribed!!! :) could you PLEASEEEEE do a review on jacquemus bags 🥺 le baneto or le bambino to be exact
Hey!! Thank you!! I don’t have a Jacquemus bag (…yet 😉) but I’ll see what I can do!
Hey Caleb. I was curious if you have tried Gucci’s lip balm? I use Chanel as well, and was going to pick up the Gucci and give it a try.
I've been curious to try it! If you get the Gucci lip balm, let me know what you think!
obsessed with the hacker version, it looks so functional and hardwearing. I also love that its like same same but different to the GG supreme canvas. I also love the mixture of the suede and the black shiny leather, it's quite interesting but suede bags omg it would FALL apart in Vancouver ahaha

They’re both gorgeous! I’m loving the Ophidia line though. (May have bought Too many pieces….)
You’re right! I love how the Ophidia line embodies classic vintage Gucci. I’m here for that vibe!

Hi Arli, for some reason UA-cam flagged your comment, but I just got it! The Hourglass sounds so fabulous, I def need to get one!
I prefer the balenciaga hacker project one as it is a special commemoration collection
You’re absolutely right! Such a fun and important piece of fashion history!

That could have been it! Haha, it's funny that they took bits and pieces from several bags to create the one. I love that!
My type of purse I love it . ❤️👌
Yassss Mimi, me too!!
No shade but the bag just looks Gucci. Is the style of bag a shape balenciaga product? Its cute just thought all the pieces were a logo switch etc.
Haha, no shade taken! You're pretty much right, they just made the other house's bags and wallet and switched logos. 😆
@@CalebSnell friggin wizards they are! Haha nice collection bb! Xo
Iconic 😉
Hahahaha omg 🤦♂️ Is it too late to trademark "iconic"? 😆
Please publish the rules regarding the usage of the word “iconic”. Just keeping you honest…🤣 Kidding, great informative video. Thanks!
Hahaha Eileen!! You’re killing me! 🤣🤣 We’re just going to make the rules up as we go, it’s going to be iconic! 😆😆 but I’m glad you enjoyed the review!!
