      That makes a lot of sense! I imagine after spending good money on a luxury piece that you definitely don't want to ruin it. That's actually a good idea to preserve your authentic piece, especially with the prices of these bags always increasing. Thanks for watching 🙏🏾

    The counterfeit business has become very sophisticated. Replicas are looking better and better so please don’t beat yourself up or feel bad. It doesn’t sound like you are but just in case. I would recommend buying direct from Louis. There are bags that are reasonable. May not be your unicorn bag. But it would be authentic. And if you DO want a bag from the collection that is authentic there are people who can source something for you and help ensure it’s authentic. I believe you WILL have your unicorn bag one day. ❤❤❤❤

To be honest, I should have done that long ago because these prices are so high now, lol. Maybe one day. Thank you for taking the time to watch my video and show love ❤️

    Your humbleness is refreshing ❤ thank you for sharing. I have a small LV collection. I just started dabbling in the pre-loved market & have found, that it’s not for me. While I have gotten some awesome deals, I have also been burned with the quality of items that have been advertised otherwise. Unfortunately you cannot return because they are sold as is & final sales. It’s hard to know, like you said, what you don’t know. The discount is not worth the stress & anxiety of whatever bargain I think I’m getting! 👎🏽
