You spoke it into existence, that's what happened. Beautiful blue bag 💙 and I'm 100% Team Birkin. 😁 Women of color enjoying luxury always brings me joy.... congratulations! 🙌🏾
You know the funny thing is, I used to be team Kelly all the way! But, the more I saw the Birkin the more I fell in love with the ease of the bag! Such a classic, laid back, but easily dressed up bag!!! Thank you so much 💙💙
Wow! It's beautiful! Yes God is good!! :) thanks for sharing your positive experience!
Congratulations! On your new Birkin. It is gorgeous, the royal blue color is so vibrant and beautiful! Love it, l die!! Thanks for sharing.😊💙👜
Hello! I love your story. It gave me chills. Yes be a living testimony to a God’s blessings! 💜
Thank you Beautiful… All the Glory belongs to Him!!! Thank you for listening and watching 🥰🥰🤗
Stunning obg congratulations I’m definitely happy when I see a black girl unboxing a Birkin 💙💙
Thank you 🥰🥰 You and I both! I’m so glad you found my channel!! Just subscribed to yours, and look fwd to watching your videos tomorrow lol 😝
Hello Elaine!! Just found your channel!! Keep up with the good work!! Wow!!! The color is amazing!!! Wow! Congrats!!! 🥳🥳
I’m so glad you found me.. Thank you so much for watching 🥰🥰 and thank you, it really is stunning, even more so in person!!!
this is perfect. and as soon as i saw you planned to be matching..... i subscribed. You have a nice energy.
it will look chic always, and to be honest, i think that colour will make it easier to transition into night. its such a fun night time colour. You will use her lots! give us an update in 6 months!
Lmaoo Thank you Holly 🥰🥰🤗 Such a beautiful blue called for a matching outfit loool I’m glad someone appreciated that!!! I agree with you, the shade is deep enough to look beautiful at night! I’ll be doing an in depth tour/ what fits in the bag etc once my insert/organizer gets here… but for sure I’ll do a 6 month update as well! Thanks for watching and supporting Love 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Congrats! What an amazing score and blessing! I absolutely love this color 😍 💕 ❤️
Beautiful. Enjoy Sis !! 💙💙💙💙💙 We deserve the best and I love to see us get it !!!
You're so great, I'm only at 8:24 but can't wait to see what you got
edit: OMG you got me with the #teamkelly I thought it was a Kelly 32 I was thinking it would be a blue, green, or yellow. Yessss the Bleu Royal is so gorge in the Birkin 30 - amazing
Lmaaoo at least you had the right colors in mind 🥰🥰 I would love to see a Kelly 32 in person… for some reason I feel like such a structured, and professional/elegant bag looks better in smaller sizes. A mini Kelly or Kelly 25 are definitely on my wishlist… although I think the Birkin has stolen my heart!
I love this!!! I heard how hard it Is to get a birkin so I’ve always said, “when you see me with one, I’ve made it.” I’m about to change that statement to manifest sooner. I’ve wanted one since I saw Samantha on Sex and the City carrying one in Dubai. That bag is gorgeous!! I’m so happy for you! Please keep sharing and inspiring us. 💜
My sentiments exactly 😄😄 Thank you so much Hun… Yes, you have to speak it into existence!! Even when we don’t think anyone is listening, we never know how the universe is speaking our names in rooms we can’t even imagine being in! So that Birkin WILL be yours before you know it! Thanks for watching and supporting! 🥰🥰🤗
@@elainemukuhaILLTV Amen to the that!! Already went and picked out the one I want. Purple of course and signed up for their newsletter. 💜
Ooohhhh A Purple Birkin sounds Dreeeaaaammy!!! 😍😍😍 Keep me posted! I’d love to see it when you get it!!
love the colour!!!! matches your outfit!!! 😍
Thank you ☺️ Yes, I’ve been inspired by the color blue since I saw her 🥰
That’s so nice glad you got yours from the store i hope i get one from their one day
I’m sure you will!!! When you least expect it too!!! Have you made a wishlist with an SA?
Thank you for watching 🥰
Yes mam! Perfection! Absolutely love this. The color is divine 💙
Thank You Beautiful 🥰🥰💙 I will definitely be carrying her with pride!!!!
I loved this video! It is what an unboxing should be. Loved it! And followed you on Instagram. Love to see a fellow African woman doing her thing on YT! ❤️
Thank you so much for the love and support!!! Followed you as well on IG… It’s not easy doing content, but yes, we definitely deserve to have a space on this platform as well!! 🥰🥰🙌🏾🙌🏾 sending love to you and your family…
Ma’am open the box!🤪🤣😂 She is stunning! That is an amazing shade of blue. I was team Kelly until I purchased a bag that had similar opening feature. I realized it would drive me nuts, so Birkin would be my option. Please do a review and what fits. I love to see these particular videos from black women in luxury!
🤣🤣🤣 I got it done… 60 hrs later 🤣🤣
Honestly, the Birkin is a beast to get in n’ out of, or I guess I should say specifically to open and close, BUT it definitely looks better when carried open with the flap tucked in compared to the Kelly!! So yeah, it’s Birkin all the way Baby!!! Lol I’m waiting for my insert/organizer from Samorga to come in… then I’ll definitely do that video for you… and anyone else who would like to know what fits etc… Thanks for watching love 🥰🥰🤗
Aaawww Elaine new subbie here! I’m so happy for you and at the same time envious since I’m still waiting for my birkin. I did tell myself a few years ago that I want a Birkin by the time I’m 35 so I have 5 more months to wish it into existence 😝😝
Welcome to the Lainey fam!!! 🥰🥰 Thank You for your support!!! Alright, I’m going to whisper it to the universe for you as well! Let’s just go ahead and cheers to your Birkin 🥂 cuz it’s coming!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
You are adorable!! I received my first B30 in June. Such an incredible feeling!
You should think of getting an organizer for her. It will keep her immaculate. Congrats!!
❤️
Congratulations to you as well 😄👏🏽👏🏽 It truly is an experience and a half!! What Color did you get? 🙃 I’d love to see it!!! Oh, I definitely had to get her an organizer… I refused to wear her without one loool I got one from SAMORGA in the same beautiful cobalt blue color… now I wear her without anxiety 🤣🤣 thank you for watching love 🥰🥰
Congratulations! That bag is simply gorgeous! That color is beautiful and you look so classy and elegant holding it.
Omg thank you 🥰🥰 that was so sweet of you to say!!! Thanks for watching… I appreciate your support 🤗
Stunning! Many congratulations on such a wonderful bag! Go team Birkin 😀🍾
Congratulations 🎉 🎊 i just started hermes journey and working on my profile. Im manifesting mini kelly for my first bag so i guess im team kelly 😊
Welcome to the club lol I hope your journey is as beautiful and stress free as mine has been so far!!! I’ve been eyeing the mini Kelly too!! What’s your dream color/leather?
@@elainemukuhaILLTV it would be either black and gold with epsom leather and definitely gold hardware 🧡
Now THOSE are both classics! You can’t go wrong with either! They will always work regardless of how your style/closet changes… And will always be trendy! Great choice!
Congratulations!! It matches your outfit 💙💙💙
Thank you ☺️ lol yeeees I’ve been in a Blue mood since I saw her lmao
Love the color. Cobalt blue. Enjoy it
It really is a gorgeous color! I got a cobalt blue insert to match… hopefully it’s as vibrant as the bag. Thank you for watching 🤗🤗
Congratulations! What a gorgeous bag and a great journey! 😍
Thank you so much!!! I still can’t believe how quick and smooth the process was lool I was intimidated for nothing lol
I had a feeling it was going to match what you’re wearing! Congrats!! 🎉 (I am team Lindy.)
Hehe.. I couldn’t help myself Lmao it’s just such a pretty blue! I’ve never seen the Lindy in person… how are you enjoying the functionality?
@@elainemukuhaILLTV I don’t have one yet … on my wishlist. I like a more unstructured bag.
@@heatherwhite2788 I hope you get one this year 🙌🏾🤞🏾 See, I’m the opposite… I prefer a structured bag! Lol it makes me feel more organized even when I’m not 🤣
Congratulations on your first Birkin 30, it is absolutely beautiful. Togo is my absolute favorite leather that Hermès makes. I like the slouchiness and Togo is one of the most hard wearing and resistant to scratch leathers even though most people think it’s Epsom, which is definitely not the case from experience. I know how exciting it feels to receive your first Quota bag! I’m truly happy for you. I have been a long time Hermès client, so not to brag, but I have quite a few quota bags in my collection. I do love the Birkin much much more than the Kelley, and I also have experience with almost all their types of leathers hermès offers. The Hermès brand is almost like an addiction lol. Enjoy the bag use it love, it just enjoy the bag. I know it’s a Birkin but do not baby it so much. Once again, congratulations ❤️ Every time a Quota bag is offered to me, I still feel like it’s the first time that excitement never goes away.
Omg thank you for sharing lol you know I totally HAVE been treating Miss B like my baby. I hardly take her anywhere, but I’m getting better at confidently carrying her. I love the Togo… I’ve always dreamt of having Epsom leather… but the buttery feel of the Togo, I loooove! I used to be team Kelley, but I just preferred the easy vibe of the Birkin so much more… I still have a Kelley and a Constance on my wishlist… wouldn’t mind having a Picotin either 🙈… I’d love to see your collectionS
@@elainemukuhaILLTV Thank you so much for your response. I don’t know if you have felt an Epsom Birkin before but I have to tell you, Epsom is beautiful It takes good color saturation however, after feeling a Togo bag, if you touch Epsom you might feel that it’s a bit plasticky feeling, it doesn’t feel like luxurious leather, even though that is definitely not the case. It holds shape very well and a bit lighter than Togo. I love all my bags. I do have 4 Epsom Birkin bags, 2 are in the new Sellier style which I definitely love more than the Retourne Epsom Birkin.
I do have another advice to give you. You should definitely invest in a 7RP bag insert for the birkin. It’s a bit pricey but it’s the best insert you could ever get for a Birkin or Kelly. It also holds the shape of Togo better and it also protects the interior of your bag. I’ve tried a lot of inserts and they’re not good enough, they will leave indents on the leather overtime. So if you want to protect the interior and the shape of your bag, definitely look into their website (7 rue paradise.) By the way, I am not sponsored or affiliated with them however, from using their bag inserts, I can tell you they’re the best on the market. ❤️
@@tounidari I definitely would pick a Sellier over Retourne style…. But, my SA gave me the impression that it’s a bit difficult to get a Sellier bag without special order from the boutique. At least for our local store she said it’s pretty rare… I still think the retourne is beautiful, but I like the structured look of the Sellier. I got my insert from Samorga, but I’ve definitely heard of amazing reviews from 7RP. So far I haven’t noticed any indentations, but I’ll keep an eye on it over time, and when the insert needs replacing, I’ll probably order from 7RP. Thank you for all the advice.
@@elainemukuhaILLTV My Home boutique I’ve been with for about 9 years. So I have been fortunate enough to get whatever my first choice has always been except my first one lol. Once again not to brag, however a sellier Birkin does not only come as a special order, that I could tell you 100%. They do get a smaller inventory of them per year. Perhaps I guess the relationship with your SA,
The Store and Spending history, puts people on a different tier with the brand. Everybody has a different so called “journey” I guess. My store is extremely competitive.
The special order experiences is really awesome but the first time could be overwhelming, because you can’t reply get exactly what you wanted some leathers and colors and stitching are not compatible with each other, or perhaps a color you’ve been eyeing is no longer being made a specific season you get offered your à la carte order. Anyway, enjoy your bag. Have a wonderful evening.
Hey Lainey!!! I love to see black women loving and enjoying luxury! It feels so good to treat yourself with things you love! I like the Birkin. I have it on my retirement wishlist. I want it in purple (my favorite color). You have a Birkin Beauty!!!! I have a Clic Clac bracelet in purple. I love them! I def would collect them! I am looking for the clic clac wide in matte black and gold. I also love the Oran sandals. I plan on getting a pair real soon! I hope you are subscribed to my channel as well💜💜💜. I enjoyed this video!
Omg I put purple on my wishlist as well lol but, I guess blue was meant to be my first! Lol also, I have a new found obsession with the clic clac bracelets lol I have one in a neutral cream color with rose gold hardware and I LOOOOVE it! Thank you so much for celebrating with me 🥰🥰🥰 the girls that get it, GET IT!!! Lol I hope you can make your Birkin dreams come true soon love!!!! I’m definitely subscribed, and can’t wait to watch your unboxing 😉😅 make sure to share those Oran sandals with us too!!! Xoxoxoxo
@@elainemukuhaILLTV I will for sure!!! Did you do a video on your bracelet?? I need to watch!
@@tamziethestylishtraveler No I didn’t… I’ll probably put it in with the next haul video…. Cuz she definitely needs some screen time loool
i just scored the same in paris! however mine is the 25 swift in bleu france! so beautiful!
Omg I would love to see that!! A Birkin from Paris is a dream come true… Congratulations babe 😅😅👏🏽
I can think of some Spelman women that would love that Birkin. Congratulations!
Hermes does the best blue! Perhaps I’m bias because blue is my favorite color.
Loool it’s one of my favorites as well, so I’m right there with you 😜
Congrats ✨.Absolutely adorable💙.How much did you spend before offered this beauty and how long time take it?😊
Thank you! I spent under 5k over multiple transactions… my first purchase was made about 4 months ago… so that’s about how long it’s been…. Hope this helps…
@@elainemukuhaILLTV Thank you so much for your reply.You are so lucky 😊and congrats again 💙✨
Awww congrats!! I am going to pass out when I get the call from my SA! What Texas location do you shop at?
It honestly gets the heart racing lmao as far as I know we only have one location in Dallas 😩😩 it’s at Highland Park Village…
Omg I have a kelly 25 in the same color 😍😍😍and this color is just a little more beautiful in a bikini
Omg a Kelly 25 is such a dream! I can imagine how beautiful it must be! 😍😍
Love your Twilleys. Team B Blue Royal
All the way 🤪😅😅 Thank you 🥰🥰 I thought they were a great compliment to the blue… without taking away from it!
I love your personality so much! Love it❤ I bet your SA loves you too otherwise there’s no way in 2022 you can get a B30 with just two scandals 😊 congratulations 🎉
🤣🤣🤣 This actually made me LOL… Thank you so much, you are too sweet!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Subscribing to watch your future Hermes purchases.
Yaaay! Thanks for coming along on the ride 🥰 you should check out my other Hermes hauls.. I’m crossing my fingers for a gold Birkin too… or a special order 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Such a beautiful color- royal blue. Are you a Zeta?
Isn’t it! I thought it was stunning!!! No, I’m not a Zeta… I’ve never had the sorority experience… I was a get in school, take the class and go home type of girl lmaoooo
Beautiful baby. You guys are so lucky in the states. I have always dreamed of owning an Hermes Birkin but we don't have a store in South Africa and the shoppers that do source them internationally charge us over double the amount😭😭😭😭.
That is the problem with the resale/sourcing market 😫😫 I don’t think I’d ever spend the amounts they ask for either!!! I hope some day you are able to visit, maybe even Paris (you are more likely to get a Birkin even on your first visit to the store) so you can make your Birkin dreams come true!!!
Team Birkin I think it’s a Birkin
You got it!!!! I used to be team Kelly, but I’ve fallen in love with the ease of the Birkin!!! Plus it fits my lifestyle more!!! Still hope to have a Kelly one day lol Thanks for watching 🥰🥰🥰
Who’s your SA?
Hi there! Unfortunately, out of respect for my SA, and to maintain the integrity of my relationship with them, I am not willing or able to share that information. I apologize….
@@elainemukuhaILLTV Don't apologize! I completely respect it, and any sane person would. I literally just bought my first Hermes polo in black from an SA via text in Dallas!
Niiiice!! I love when they make luxury shopping so convenient 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Thank you for understanding 🥰🥰
Omg!!! Stunning stunning stunning! New to your channel and congrats on your new bag! Also fellow Hermes lover and youtuber! 🧡💞🧡💞 I subbed, let's connect!
