You’re absolutely right and anyone who thinks otherwise either isn’t willing to face the truth or is too foolish to realize the truth. It’s all a ploy to get us to spend more and more money. It’s important for us to step back from time to time and really analyze what’s going on. I know I’ve been thinking about a few of these things lately and it’s allowed me to change not only my spending habits but also my thought patterns surrounding my current collection. I don’t know if I’ll ever stop babying my bags but I sure hope I can get to that point. I personally hate stressing over my bags.
You are 100% right Viv!! It is refreshing to watch a video that is so sensible regarding handbag collections. It is fun to acquire what we love to collect, but smart to have a limit. Some content creator videos are continual new purchases, unboxing and hauls. I wonder if some end up in the debt rabbit hole? Please keep sharing the common sense approach to loving our collections!
No truer words have been spoken! The mental gymnastics of being a luxury handbag consumer is exhausting! I’ve only recently began collecting and it’s 100% draining and I can relate to everything here! Thank you for making this video! 🙌 Don’t get me started on having to deal with sales associates and wait lists at certain brands…. 😂
Love this video- thanks Viv! 100% agree. It is such a slippery slope once you get your first high end designer bag. Designer jewelry can be just as slippery.
100% agreed with you!!! I have a healthy collection of luxury bags and I have stopped buying as much as I have in prior years due to all of these reasons. You are spot on!
100% Totally Agree ! I Have Four "Off The Charts" Expensive Louis Vuitton Handbags Sitting On My Shelf Right Now That I "Had To Have" But NEVER Carry Because I Am Too Cautious To Use Them !
Hi Viv, First of all, thank you for tuning down the music background, it's now feels like listening to you with an afternoon tea 🥰 Secondly, I personally don't buy a crazy amount of bags, simply because I don't see the value in it. I do have two designer bags and designer scarfs but that's it. I often prefer treating myself to a nice holiday, nice diner, or treating my family. But that is what suits me 😇 I love to look at other people bag collection but it doesn't make me want to buy it, especially not for the selling price tag attached to it. At the end of the day it is a bag.. for a price of 4K the bag should be made with hard gold hardware, rain proof, and other traits to justify the asking price. At least that's my view on it.
Aw you’re welcome Clementine, I always appreciate the feedback, you are dead right with your approach, art lady with your priorities in the right place 😘🥰😍
I don't have any luxury bag. I have been using the same crossbody for the past 6 years. Of course I would love to have one nice one (I love that red Chanel behind you) but I just can't afford it. I have learn to train myself to admire it on others and just appreciate my small collection of only 3 purses. I am not scared to use my purse because it is cheap lol. I love your honesty!
Since I don't spend over 600$ on a bag I am free of many of these concerns ;-D And preloved is pre-worn in so stress reducing LOL! You crack me up Viv. And every point is spot on.
Great video. You are spot on. Especially the part about what happens if you pass. My son would probably have a garage sale, , not understanding the value of my of my bags. Something I’m working to document for him right now.
This is such a great video--your points rang true to me. I have started my lux collection around 2-3 years ago and have to stop myself from thinking "oh I need one from each brand" or "one more and my collection will be complete" because that's just not my reality!
LOL I just luv you!! I have been thinking the exact same things. LOL I started my collection as a way to minimalize my insane contemp. collection. 🤣🧐 I now have an astonishing & growing high end on top of the insane contemp. I have an ebay store I am a Top Seller long history I do well when I do but yes selling them is a PAIN. Ya gatta have a bag to go with this ya gatta have a bag to go with that & with our open door policy I have to keep them locked away not bc of theft but bc of accidental damage issues not to mention storage issues for all of the bags & boxes bc you know the value of the packaging is almost as much as the bags themselves. And yes then the maintenance on the bags. Then you have ppl's attitudes about the bags. Then you have where you can & can't wear the bags. Dealing with fear the bag will get snatched from you on the street or even cost you your life as some desperate soul may cross your path. I mean really!! LOL Thank you!!
I have been struggling with the same thoughts for some time now. I think it occurred the same time as when my taste in fashion changed. Whenever I see something online and the complete look flashes in my mind, I obsess over it. I hate that feeling you get when your latest purchase arrives and as soon as you open the box you realize you just spent money on something that you don’t really need. Now I’m looking into curating a capsule wardrobe and keen to know your thoughts on which bags are wearable for every season. Do you have tips on clothes that look good with these bags as well? Thank you Viv, more blessings 😊
I should have slowed down and bought 1 lux bag a year. I fell into the too many bags syndrome, you are correct, it is an addiction. I sold 99% and feel so liberated. I even sold my Coach, MK, RRL collection. I asked myself, if a tornado warning goes off, what would I grab? Answer is: not much. I recommend selling to Fashionphile, less money than selling yourself, but simple and easy. Less stress.
This is so true. Your spending habits snow ball. I started collecting last year, bought 2 bags, this year 6 bags, wish list has another 10 on it…and that’s not including future releases. Every time I buy a bag I see another one I want 🙈
I love this video. I discovered the recipe for success - sell everything that is a burden, wear only bags that look good but you don’t think of as precious. Much happier now, and I definitely do not shop as much as during the lockdown, and in a funny way seeing these bags online makes me not want to buy them.
Hello Viv! Your black medium classic flap looks gorgeous Viv! Can I ask what you use to get it so shiny? Mine is looking a bit dull :( I was thinking of sending it to the spa...but trying to avoid that. Thanks ❤
Hi Cheryl, of course, mine is just a Celtic leather cleaner, any leather cleaner should do the same job, Cadillac on Amazon is supposed to be excellent 😘🥰
I enjoyed so much this honest video, thank you, you're the best! Last year I bought my first designer bag and I haven't used it so much because that bag was not really a daily bag. Last month I happened to discover an understated designer bag and I fell in love with it instantly (oh, like with my super cute ex crush!). I took a picture of myself with that bag at the shop and since then the idea of owning it has been consuming me 😅 (like with that ex crush too). I've spent a lot of time to watch reviews, alternatives, pre-loved options, how to style it, etc. This weekend I will discover whether that bag is still available or not, although.. honestly I'm still thinking whether it's worth the Euros (should I calm down my logic?). We will see... 🙃
Hello Viv, thanks for the shoutout 🙌🏽🤩I just adore ya ❤ this topics is so on point. You’re right I bought my first lux bag and thought that was it and now I too feel it’s a never ending because I still want more. I had no clue how much effort I’d have to take to protect my bag and dust them and condition them etc …. You crack me up and yes it’s honest and valuable info that’s a pain in all our asses even if we admit it or not 😂 I got my trendy cc and was bumped by a lady and was soooo worried it was scratched and I gave a 👀 like I’m one of those bag ladies 🤦🏽♀️ 😂 but my bag was unharmed! Then I moved onto to perfumes recently 🤦🏽♀️ I blame the pandemic because I want to smell outstanding when working at home and every time I go out, the $ I’ve spent I should have put towards the next bag 😆😉
Aww your welcome gorgeous 🥰😘, 😂😂😂😂isn’t it so true, you made me laugh about becoming the bag lady 😂😂👏🏻👏🏻, I agree I totally got more into fragrances during pandemic, anything for a pick me up 😂🥰😘
Hilarious but true. Been through all of this. As I'm hitting a big 50 next year, I've started revaluating my shopping choices. I'm more selective now, buy less but the best I can afford.
You are very right Vivienne. I am one of those who just watch these bag collectors and how I wish I can afford to buy even just one. But because of limited budget, I can’t. The insurance is really costly. Thank you for coming up with this vlog.
I have only purchased contemporary luxury bags and honestly I have the same thought about having them sit in my closet and not using them. As I get older I’m realizing less is definitely more. I have a bag I bought last year that I still haven’t used yet. This video was definitely great food for thought. Tfs!!
This is so true. I'm glad along with moving to a brand new home with minimalist design, I'm gearing towards paring down on everything. I'm about to let go of 7lux bags that I accumulated real fast. I will leave 4 canvas and 2 leather bags in my collection( I did a lot of thinking and soul-searching on this🤣).We were travelling and owning too many lux items is stressful I always worry when we are away.
Wow, firstly Congratulations on your move Gina, and secondly we’ll done you, 7 that is a great number, I am exactly the same, I love to travel and worry when I’m away, no thankyou, not anymore 😂😂🥰😘
I 💯 agree 😂 in my case I started collecting designer handbags since 2013 when I suddenly came into a large sum of Money I enjoyed the experience at first, but now honestly all my designer bags are just sitting collecting dust, I don’t get any sort of joy from buying designer stuff or using them anymore. 😅
Love this video! Speaking the truth that no one talks about!! Very well thought out and practical! I have to remind myself to watch this video when I get itchy and want to buy another bag. #11 for me would be that I feel bad for the bags that just sit there because we are now used to always wanting the next best thing instead of enjoins what we have purchased. 😢
I agree 100% Viv! Love this kind of content such an eye opener for me as I just have started loving designer handbags and just the excitement you feel that dies down so quickly.. Now I get very cautious and getting a new one only as a reward when i have achieved something maybe financially, career, travel, etc. Focusing on other goals and get the reward for myself next which makes it much more fulfilling in getting that bag after ❤ Less is definitely more!! Thanks so much Viv.. always love watching you from Australia ❤
I am sending this video to my husband. Haha I still remember the scene from Germany (and he is one of those people who trash all their possessions). Anyhow, his bag was on the floor, on the street!!! We were sitting in a cafe and a lady came running over thinking it fell on the floor. 😂 And there is mine sitting in a char of it’s own.
I work for an insurance company- we pay for all those contents. As long as you have proof of purchase, it is covered. Just make sure your contents coverage is high enough to cover your stuff. Contents is regularly covered at 10% of your house coverage limit. So if your house is worth 200g, you have a 20g contents coverage. If you have 5 chanel bags @5g each- that’s about your contents limit so please increase this amount because your personal property such as furniture and clothes are not even factored in as yet- and probably won’t be covered at that limit. Jewelry has to be added individually to your policy as well- we refer to these as scheduled items.
Ha ha so true , I’m saving this video if I want to buy a new bag or anything luxury if I get to the end stilling wanting it I’ll be surprised.I backed off big time and this video is great I hope a lot of young people watch this.🙌🏼🙌🏼Thank You
Hello Viv! I absolutely love the topic of thisvideo!! Personally, I dont own any luxury bags yet but I really want to. That being said, what annoys me is that luxury fashion almost feels like fast fashion these days. Theres SS, FW, pre fall, cruise collections and so on. Its like we can never catch up anymore! There is a new "it" bag released what feels like every other week and all the influencers that get them gifted promote them like it is a life necessity and for the people who need months to save for such an expensive item it is like a race we cannot win
Oh I completely agree. I have never had the money to buy expensive bags, but my husband bought me one on my birthday. I have some Dooney Bourke purses which I consider expensive. I think I only own 10 bags. Every time I look at a new bag and say oh I like that, my husband says another bag?? I laugh…
😜😝🤪 I LOVE YOU!! I told myself stop buying makeup and you can buy handbags but didn't admit, it's so much more expensive and I'm too scared to use them! High maintenance 😂
So true Viv…..couldn’t agree with you more all on your points excellently made….only consolation for me on those bags I’ve purchased and haven’t worked out for one reason or another is that the preloved market is booming so at least I can recoup some of my cash and hopefully someone else will love those bags. ❤
Lol, I felt the anxiety here. We're all hamsters and we wanna get off! 😆 I think there's a new movement to do just that. Thanks for keeping it real Viv.
I do put my bag on a nearest chair whenever I’m in a restaurant. I don’t put my handbags on the floor… no way!!! and even if I don’t say anything (because I don’t want to create a scene)… I am very nervous when the waiter comes back with scorching water for tea or coffee or with glasses of wine…. I hold my breath until my bag is “safe”. It might be crazy for some, but I invested a lot of time and money in my belongings for them to just get ruined by someone else. They’ll just say “ sorry, I’m so sorry”, your friend might even add, “you can still buy it again”…😡😡😡😤😤😤 not knowing how many months of saving and sacrifices it took you to buy it in the first place! Just sayin’
Viv this was fabulous!!! Everyone at UPS knows me by name lol and will ask what bag are you selling now? Lately it's all been returns thank goodness. Selling is so stressful but needs to be done sometimes. Very good points you made! Xoxo
You are so funny, Viv! Hahaha I love your carefree attitude and how animated you are. I agree on all this. I look at my collection and think how easily this chunk of money could be stolen or damaged. Its just a little bag. I also obssess over what to buy next bc theyre so expensive and then once I have them I baby them! Lol. This is a weird kind of "happiness" innit?
😂😂😂 Loving this, Vivienne! I, personally, don’t have too many of these problems…except for storage! I live in a small condo in Toronto. It is sooo small! I want to have all of my beautiful bags out in a lovely display, but, there’s NO way that THAT is going to happen any time soon! 😉 First world problems, eh? ❤👜❤🇨🇦
Lol so so true I am ridiculous about my bags in a restaurant for fear of something spilling on them so much so that I will book a table for 4 when it’s only 2 of us……. I agree I hate myself for that, 🙈🙈😂 but at the same time I DONT want to ruin them they’re sooooo expensive and gorgeous 😖 we can’t win ! Cheers Viv that was fun!
I considered it a reward because after I finished my contract I paid off my car, my credit card debt, and then bought the dream bag that I've been wanting for about 3 years
Now this is classic! I absolutely loved this! 100% agree and thanks for delivering this with humor! Well done! Gotta go…. need to buy another handbag. 😂
Thank you so much for this Ms. Viv! You nailed it! Hahaha just in time for me to watch this video for me to control myself hahaha thanks for the “mental help” 😅😂 stay gorgeous! ❤
Oh my gosh!!! I thought I was the only one.. look for bag find bag buy bag open bag shelf bag repeat… it’s exhausting!!! It is an addiction..I’m working on stopping this craziness .. have a purse on the way and always have one in the back of my mind that I think I need..I’m slowing down but Ned to stop.. seriously.. Be praying for a sister in need of stopping an addiction.. ty
I think it’s called, Death Swiss Cleaning. 50 is a bit young. That need to minimize hit me during the pandemic in 2020-2021, 2 years of selling and donating. Now in 2022, still working on it 😂.
They say you spend the first have of your life collecting things and the second half of your life getting rid of them. I’m definitely in the second half of my life! xoxo P.S. The book is called “The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning” by Margaret Magnusson
I agree with a lot of what you said. The difficult part is prices are so insane now that you feel like you have to “research” the bag so much to make sure it’s not a bag regret in a few weeks, which takes time, stress, etc etc. So trying to make sure it’s a good fit is infuriating … I’m looking for a Palm Springs mm to use as my diaper bag. I use a chanel deauville but need a backpack cos things keep toppling out while trying to chase my toddler … I got a chanel business affinity but after using it for a bit , it’s a tad too small 😬. It’s beautiful and good for short trips but didn’t fit as much as I thought it would, so here I am researching the LV one for months… then freaking out to decide before the next price increase. It’s just too expensive it becomes stressful, at least for me haha
*💯💯💯TOTALLY AGREE💯💯💯* You Already know how I feel about this. I just Thank YOUUUUUU for sharing the TRUTH! *WE ARE BEING CONTROLLED!!!* All it take is for one to sit back and watch YT videos and it will become very clear. WE Control the Prices(high and low) ...WE Control the Quality(good & bad) and WE have NO ONE TO BLAME BUT US for any of it. I have said it several times and will again.... *I REFUSE TO BE CONTROLLED*.💯🧡 p.s. Please don't get me wrong, I Love a Good Bag, but when it was made clear to me how sinister this world is with Our Health, it became clear to me what games are played concerning a bag. Buy Freely NOT by Control.💯🤷🏾♀️
I wish I knew that you can’t store LV canvas bags in plastic containers after having one store for three years I take it out and it’s ruined the leather strap turned black and in layers ! A bag that I purchased new for $1600 is now worthless . I think the plastic created humidity
You’re absolutely right and anyone who thinks otherwise either isn’t willing to face the truth or is too foolish to realize the truth. It’s all a ploy to get us to spend more and more money. It’s important for us to step back from time to time and really analyze what’s going on.

I don’t know if I’ll ever stop babying my bags but I sure hope I can get to that point. I personally hate stressing over my bags.
I know hon, totally agree with you , after spending do much money, we can’t help babying them 😂😘🥰🙈
@raymond rajina which country are they based in and how to purchase them?
You are 100% right Viv!! It is refreshing to watch a video that is so sensible regarding handbag collections. It is fun to acquire what we love to collect, but smart to have a limit. Some content creator videos are continual new purchases, unboxing and hauls. I wonder if some end up in the debt rabbit hole? Please keep sharing the common sense approach to loving our collections!
Aww thankyou so much Donna, we are a crazy bunch 😂😂🥰😘
All of your valid point made me think luxury addiction and turnover of stuff has much in common with MLM activities
Good point honey 🥰😘👏🏻
No truer words have been spoken! The mental gymnastics of being a luxury handbag consumer is exhausting! I’ve only recently began collecting and it’s 100% draining and I can relate to everything here! Thank you for making this video! 🙌
Don’t get me started on having to deal with sales associates and wait lists at certain brands…. 😂
😂😂😂😂😂🙈🥰😘
Love this video- thanks Viv! 100% agree. It is such a slippery slope once you get your first high end designer bag. Designer jewelry can be just as slippery.
Thanks a mill Karen, that’s for sure 😳😂🥰😘
100% agreed with you!!! I have a healthy collection of luxury bags and I have stopped buying as much as I have in prior years due to all of these reasons. You are spot on!
Thankyou so much hon, soo much work 😂😂😂😂, of course all in perspective 🥰😘
100% Totally Agree ! I Have Four "Off The Charts" Expensive Louis Vuitton Handbags Sitting On My Shelf Right Now That I "Had To Have" But NEVER Carry Because I Am Too Cautious To Use Them !
It’s a fact Marie, happens us all and we don’t want to admit it, thankyou for your honesty 😘🥰

Oh I really luv ur sense of humour...I see myself in those situations which you have mentioned...ur big fan ❤️
Aww thanks so much honey 😂🙈😘
I agree with you, Viv. I’m just halfway into the video and I’m finding myself saying yes, you are absolutely right!
Aw thanks Sobe, lovely to hear from you, 😂😂😂😂brill 🥰😘

I can so relate to this unfortunately!! Thanks for being so honest!

This is so true. I'm glad along with moving to a brand new home with minimalist design, I'm gearing towards paring down on everything. I'm about to let go of 7lux bags that I accumulated real fast.

So true Viv!!! Everything you said but my biggest is the always buying and storage problems. I’ve run out of room in my house. 😂😂😂
First world problems we have 🙈🥰😘😂
I 💯 agree 😂 in my case I started collecting designer handbags since 2013 when I suddenly came into a large sum of Money I enjoyed the experience at first, but now honestly all my designer bags are just sitting collecting dust, I don’t get any sort of joy from buying designer stuff or using them anymore. 😅

Aww love this Val, and thankyou so much, totally agree, they sit there waiting to be used 🙈😘🥰
Everything you said is spot on and kinda makes me wanna reflect on this handbag obsession I have! 😅
It’s a difficult habit to break, there are so many beauties out there 🙈🥰😘
I agree 100% Viv! Love this kind of content such an eye opener for me as I just have started loving designer handbags and just the excitement you feel that dies down so quickly.. Now I get very cautious and getting a new one only as a reward when i have achieved something maybe financially, career, travel, etc. Focusing on other goals and get the reward for myself next which makes it much more fulfilling in getting that bag after ❤ Less is definitely more!!

Aww thankyou so much ViAL , you have the right approach, well done you , we all fall for it sometimes 🥰😘😍

We were sitting in a cafe and a lady came running over thinking it fell on the floor. 😂 And there is mine sitting in a char of it’s own.
😂😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻brilliant, love this 💃🏼😂🥰😘
That’s hilarious!😂😂😂
Love your video! It is absolutely true.
You should do this bit on a comedy stage! You're right! You're a riot!
😂😂😂😂🙈aw thanks honey, funny coz it’s true 🥰😘
Thank you for your video, Vivienne! Been so helpful. Great awakening! I was wasting so much time on reviews. Keep up the good job!
Aww thanks so much honey 🥰😘
I work for an insurance company- we pay for all those contents. As long as you have proof of purchase, it is covered. Just make sure your contents coverage is high enough to cover your stuff. Contents is regularly covered at 10% of your house coverage limit. So if your house is worth 200g, you have a 20g contents coverage. If you have 5 chanel bags @5g each- that’s about your contents limit so please increase this amount because your personal property such as furniture and clothes are not even factored in as yet- and probably won’t be covered at that limit. Jewelry has to be added individually to your policy as well- we refer to these as scheduled items.
Thankyou so much Lignum, that’s very helpful 😘🥰
😂😂😂 I love it!! Someone smash some cake at a Xmas party on one of my bags and I was out of my body
Oooooh nooooooo 🙈🥰😘
Beautiful collection, funny video. I'll happily take them over if you don't want them anymore. LOL.
😂😂😂😂thankyou so much Paris 🥰😘💃🏼💃🏼
Ha ha so true , I’m saving this video if I want to buy a new bag or anything luxury if I get to the end stilling wanting it I’ll be surprised.I backed off big time and this video is great I hope a lot of young people watch this.🙌🏼🙌🏼Thank You
😂😂😂😂thankyou so much Michelle, Stay Strong 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻😘🥰
Hello Viv! I absolutely love the topic of thisvideo!! Personally, I dont own any luxury bags yet but I really want to. That being said, what annoys me is that luxury fashion almost feels like fast fashion these days. Theres SS, FW, pre fall, cruise collections and so on. Its like we can never catch up anymore! There is a new "it" bag released what feels like every other week and all the influencers that get them gifted promote them like it is a life necessity and for the people who need months to save for such an expensive item it is like a race we cannot win
That is 100% true honey, just crazy 🥰😘🙈
Totally agree Viv you are so wise…..however I would so happily store your stunning Chanel bags 😉
😂😂😂😂love it Denise 😘🥰😍
I’m very lucky I’m so unbelievably picky! It may just be saving me money 😂
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😂😘
Oh I completely agree. I have never had the money to buy expensive bags, but my husband bought me one on my birthday. I have some Dooney Bourke purses which I consider expensive. I think I only own 10 bags. Every time I look at a new bag and say oh I like that, my husband says another bag?? I laugh…
😂😂😂😂brilliant 🥰😘
I just love your videos😂😂 you help me to have a great day at work❤❤❤❤
Aww so nice to hear, thankyou so much 🥰😘
😜😝🤪 I LOVE YOU!! I told myself stop buying makeup and you can buy handbags but didn't admit, it's so much more expensive and I'm too scared to use them! High maintenance 😂
Awww hi Kaitlin 😘😘😘, 😂😂😂😂I know craaaaazy right? 🙈😂😘
So true Viv…..couldn’t agree with you more all on your points excellently made….only consolation for me on those bags I’ve purchased and haven’t worked out for one reason or another is that the preloved market is booming so at least I can recoup some of my cash and hopefully someone else will love those bags. ❤
Thanks so much Honey, it is, I hope you can get your money back if you need to 🥰😘
You are absolutely right and good reminder for all these reason !!!!
Thankyou so much Stuart 🥰
Lol, I felt the anxiety here. We're all hamsters and we wanna get off! 😆 I think there's a new movement to do just that. Thanks for keeping it real Viv.
😂😂😂😂thanks so much lovely 🥰 😘
This was brilliant…so true, and your take on minding ours bags in restaurants was priceless 😂
😂😂😂😂🙈thankyou Elizabeth 😘🥰
OMG Luxury problems!!! I totally understand you. 😆
😂😂😂😂we all have them Vanda 🙈💕😘🥰
100% spot on. Great video. 👍😊
Thankyou so much hon 🥰😘
I do put my bag on a nearest chair whenever I’m in a restaurant. I don’t put my handbags on the floor… no way!!! and even if I don’t say anything (because I don’t want to create a scene)… I am very nervous when the waiter comes back with scorching water for tea or coffee or with glasses of wine….
I hold my breath until my bag is “safe”.
It might be crazy for some, but I invested a lot of time and money in my belongings for them to just get ruined by someone else. They’ll just say “ sorry, I’m so sorry”, your friend might even add, “you can still buy it again”…😡😡😡😤😤😤 not knowing how many months of saving and sacrifices it took you to buy it in the first place! Just sayin’
Very true hon 🥰😘
Absolutely agree! I love bags, but enough already! Right?!
Exactly Debbie, where does it stop 🥰😘
@@VivienneConnolly11 it stops when we stop it. It’s just hard to jump off that wagon. 🙄🙁
I don't buy luxury bags but this video was pure fun to watch 😁
Aww thankyou Zenia 🥰😘💃🏼
Great video no one talks about the disadvantages of owning a luxury handbags.
Aw thanks Judy 🥰😘😍
@@VivienneConnolly11 You're Welcome
Viv this was fabulous!!! Everyone at UPS knows me by name lol and will ask what bag are you selling now? Lately it's all been returns thank goodness. Selling is so stressful but needs to be done sometimes. Very good points you made! Xoxo
😂😂😂😂it’s hilarious, thanks so much Melinda, I know me too, snap, loved your new bag today 😍😍😍😍
I’ve really been loving your cinematography lately!
Aww thankyou so much for that feedback, I really appreciate it 🥰😘
You are so funny, Viv! Hahaha I love your carefree attitude and how animated you are. I agree on all this. I look at my collection and think how easily this chunk of money could be stolen or damaged. Its just a little bag. I also obssess over what to buy next bc theyre so expensive and then once I have them I baby them! Lol. This is a weird kind of "happiness" innit?
😂😂😂😂it sure is hon, us humans are Straaaange creatures 😂😂and thankyou so much , thrilled you are enjoying them 😘🥰💃🏼
your so right Vivienne. but it sure is nice to enjoy the things we love. ♥️👜👛🛍♥️
Thankyou honey, and that’s a fact also 😘🥰😍

Enjoyed it all 😂love to see more like that. Hope you have a great week 💕💕
😂😂😂😂thankyou so much Margaret, bit of fun 😂😘🥰
😂😂😂 Loving this, Vivienne! I, personally, don’t have too many of these problems…except for storage! I live in a small condo in Toronto. It is sooo small! I want to have all of my beautiful bags out in a lovely display, but, there’s NO way that THAT is going to happen any time soon! 😉 First world problems, eh? ❤👜❤🇨🇦
😂😂😂thanks so much honey , you know what, you are better off , exactly 😂😂💃🏼🥰😘
Yes, completely agree with you .
Thanks for being soo honest. 👍
Aww thankyou Maria 🥰😘😍
So truth. Thanks for being 100% real. 👏🏼👌🏻
Aww thankyou so much Marialis 🥰😘
Love your video. I can totally relate.
Thankyou honey 😘
Lol so so true I am ridiculous about my bags in a restaurant for fear of something spilling on them so much so that I will book a table for 4 when it’s only 2 of us……. I agree I hate myself for that, 🙈🙈😂 but at the same time I DONT want to ruin them they’re sooooo expensive and gorgeous 😖 we can’t win ! Cheers Viv that was fun!
😂😂😂😂totally get you hon, crazy bag ladies 😂😂😂🙈🥰😘
You could do this for jewelry maybe ?
Sure, great idea 🥰😘❤️
Why is this the most accurate thing I’ve ever heard in my entire life
Aww thankyou so much honey 🥰😘
Nobody could say it better than you Viv, 😂. Everything you said is the Truth👏🏻
Aww thankyou so much Elisabeth 🥰😘😍
All very valid points yess!
Thankyou Connie 😘🥰
I never bought insurance for my bags, but did for my furs. Until, I stopped myself from spending so much money year after year.
What are we like hon, isn’t it crazy and wonderful and the same time 😂🥰😘
I considered it a reward because after I finished my contract I paid off my car, my credit card debt, and then bought the dream bag that I've been wanting for about 3 years
Huge congrats hon, fabulous 🥰😘
Fab video, my luxury collection has worn me out too X
😂😂😂🙈🥰😂, thanks honey 😘🥰

I think it’s called, Death Swiss Cleaning. 50 is a bit young. That need to minimize hit me during the pandemic in 2020-2021, 2 years of selling and donating. Now in 2022, still working on it 😂.
That’s exactly it hon, thankyou, me too, but it does make life so much easier 😂🥰😘
They say you spend the first have of your life collecting things and the second half of your life getting rid of them. I’m definitely in the second half of my life! xoxo
P.S. The book is called “The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning” by Margaret Magnusson
So true 👍.. And so hilarious 😂
😂😂😂thankyou :)
This video does make me think ! I want a new bag in December and that will be my last because it’s 20 !!! (Famous last words) 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
😂😂😂😂love it, let me know how you get on 🥰😍😘
I agree with a lot of what you said. The difficult part is prices are so insane now that you feel like you have to “research” the bag so much to make sure it’s not a bag regret in a few weeks, which takes time, stress, etc etc. So trying to make sure it’s a good fit is infuriating … I’m looking for a Palm Springs mm to use as my diaper bag. I use a chanel deauville but need a backpack cos things keep toppling out while trying to chase my toddler … I got a chanel business affinity but after using it for a bit , it’s a tad too small 😬. It’s beautiful and good for short trips but didn’t fit as much as I thought it would, so here I am researching the LV one for months… then freaking out to decide before the next price increase. It’s just too expensive it becomes stressful, at least for me haha
Totally agree honey, we are all insane 😂😂😂😂🥰😘
“Eejit on the internet” 😂 💕
😂😂😂😂🥰😘
*💯💯💯TOTALLY AGREE💯💯💯*
You Already know how I feel about this. I just Thank YOUUUUUU for sharing the TRUTH! *WE ARE BEING CONTROLLED!!!* All it take is for one to sit back and watch YT videos and it will become very clear. WE Control the Prices(high and low) ...WE Control the Quality(good & bad) and WE have NO ONE TO BLAME BUT US for any of it. I have said it several times and will again.... *I REFUSE TO BE CONTROLLED*.💯🧡
p.s. Please don't get me wrong, I Love a Good Bag, but when it was made clear to me how sinister this world is with Our Health, it became clear to me what games are played concerning a bag. Buy Freely NOT by Control.💯🤷🏾♀️
People are waking up to the Truth. Please Don't stop sharing the TRUTH! Soon, you'll Clearly See Why! 🥰
So True honey, it’s a very strange and scary world we live in right now , but it’s a fact 😘😘😘😘
Priceless!
😂😂😂🥰😘thanks honey 🥰😘
Yes you nailed it😂.
Aww thanks Vanessa 🥰😘
Yes yes I so agree with everything you stated!
😂😂💃🏼🥰😘
I wish I knew that you can’t store LV canvas bags in plastic containers after having one store for three years I take it out and it’s ruined the leather strap turned black and in layers ! A bag that I purchased new for $1600 is now worthless . I think the plastic created humidity
Aw no way Magda, that’s awful, they should nearly come with storage instructions 🥰😘
You should never store any leather items in plastic. That's why they come with canvas protective pouches.
You are spot on Viv big thumbs up 👆
Aww thankyou so much lovely 😂🥰😘
