I hope that you are all doing well and staying safe. Thank you to those of you who have reached out to me, as well as those of you who are supporting Asian communities, whether, locally and/or globally.
I've included some websites that speak to how to stop Anti-Asian violence.

seeing this video a little late but, THANK YOU! I've been looking at this bag for a long time and this video really helped my decision! Also, thank you for mentioning the hate crimes towards the Asian community. I feel like not enough influencers were/are talking about it.
Yay, glad that this video helped you! I truly think my platform (even if I'm a small UA-camr) is a good way to voice my support for the Asian Community 💕.
I watched both your reviews, loved how you described it. So I finally got this bag too!!!
It's amazing! I hope you love it!
Love the Marc Jacobs tote! I absolutely love the patches to customize the tote, I did an unboxing and tutorial on my channel a few weeks ago!
It is such a great tote!
Thanks so much for posting this! Helped so much!
Glad I could help!
Thank you for this. Something told me to come to UA-cam for a review on this bag fitting books . This was quick and to the point. 👍🏽
Glad I could help!
I same here and I.completely agree
So helpful!! Love this bag want to get it for the upcoming semester for college 🖤
It would be a great college bag!
You are so adorable!
I ordered the Cloud Blue! I can’t wait to get it! 💜
Congratulations! Perfect colour for the warmer months! 💕
i'm part of the minority in our hospital. i've been lucky that all of our coworkers are friendly toward us. i feel so heartbroken about hatred towards the asian community. i don't understand why our world is full of hate. i'm a proud filipino and a proud asian.
Yes girl! Filipino pride (I'm half Filipino)! I'm happy to hear that your workplace is safe and supportive 💕. Stay safe!
I just bought the mini one in green. I love it, I'm getting use to not have a LV/Chanel/Prada and it's great for my wallet. Looks great and good for work. I've never seen anyone in my city with one :D
Yes! Definitely great for the wallet and great on the eyes too! It's such a stylish bag. I've only seen one other person with the exact same bag - love that it's not everywhere like some bags.
Informative video as always!❤️ Please make a video on your LV agenda too! Been meaning to get one!
Thank you! I don’t know if my agenda video would be interesting, I’m very basic with it😂. I see people decorate theirs and make them look so nice, mine is so plain with messy writing haha!
Thank you so much for this review!! I was hesitant on buying it this video had me getting up the next morning to purchase it. I just posted the unboxing on my channel thank you again 🤎
I love my mini - the quality is amazing! I can literally fill it with so muchhhh!
Yay! So happy that you are loving yours! The mini is so cute 💕
Can you put a macbook there ?
I wanna get this for my twin sister for our 28th birthday! Thanks for this review. ❤️❤️
Awww that would be such an amazing (and thoughtful) present!☺️
I have the olive and LOVE IT SO MUCH! When ever I see it I get so happy! I left my coach and my Tory Burch for this bag. It fits EVERYTHING! I wanted to get the mesh but wasn’t on the website and just went again and they have the dye one. OmG I wanna buy too. For sure imma my the teddy one first to God in the winter. :)
The olive is such a beautiful colour! And it transitions through all the seasons. I just saw the mesh one on ssense and it’s 15% off right now!
I love your haircut 😍 love the video 🙏🏼
Thank you! 💕
I have this bag and I love it! I don't have problems with lint, I think because I don't wear clothes that can rub off on it, like fluffy fabrics. The side holder I believe is just an extra strap if your grabbing it from the side. Not for a water bottle or umbrella. Thank you for the video! Keep up the good work!
Ahhh got it! I think you're right - the strap is just there for grabbing the bag 😂. Your profile picture is gorgeous btw!
@@LValiquette thank you so much!
@@LValiquette it’s usually for scarfs or sunglasses!
I think these bags are so cute and I love the price. A lot of the other book totes are WAY out of my price range lol When you mentioned the strap shifting throughout the day I immediately had the thought, maybe you can stick a cute lapel pin in place to keep it from moving. Maybe that could solve that problem and be cute while doing so.
Yes! I need some sort of cute clip to keep it in place. I’ll hunt around. Other book bags are way more expensive and the MJ is so cute and functional!
This video was super helpful. Thank you for sharing what it fits
Glad I could help! It’s an amazing bag!
Thank you. This helped so much. A few years ago, I had a black MJ tote from 'The Bay' & returned it due to the lint issue. I am sad that it is still a problem. I wish they could use different material for the black. I love black, too. I will stick to a lighter colour. Thanks for helping me decide to get the Slate Green. :-) (-:
The slate green is gorgeous! The black is quite the lint magnet!
thank you for the review, I would just recommend it'd be better have the camera pointed over the bag so we can see how the bag fits the contents inside
I'm a little late but thank you! your video helped me make my mind :) Thanks! and Great video! I bought an Organizer to add inside :)
sold me. i practically only bring my macbook air and my ipad for college and definitely looks like the prefect size bag for that
Yay! It’s an amazing bag!
The side piece is actually for the hanging piece of the zipper to stick to, it's magnetic!
I just bought the small in black and I’ll b ordering the mini In olive for the fall❤️❤️
Congrats! The mini is so cute too!
That handle on the side of the bag. is for the end of the floppy zipper. Sick the zipper down inside it. It’s supposed to be magnetic to keep the floppy part of the zipper held down. I love the bag can’t wait to get mine. 🥰❤️
It's also for cute accessories, sunglasses, scarfs, earbud totes, and keychains.
Not magnetic on canvas/jacquard. Only leather versions.
OMG...I have the exact black tote and I love it so much, I just added the black teddy and have the caramel leather coming. I found that if the strap keeps adjusting, you can use that loop by sliding it down tight next to the metal on the bottom to hold it in place longer. I don't know if I'm making any sense but good luck.
At my job, I always schedule Asian patients with our Asian doctor and around the same time and my coworkers always thinks it’s funny but I do it so they will feel comfortable and just in case something pops off we got back up. Lol 🤣
LOL! Yes! That’s actually very considerate of you...and smart😂
Hmmmm interesting.
I have the same problem with the strap, however, I was able to stop it from shifting by just placing the leather loop thing right on top of the metal adjuster thing, it acts almost like a door stopper, but for the strap. :) Hope that helps!
Ohhhh, thank you so much for sharing! Gonna go do this now! 💕
I lived in an Asian country for over 2 years. Military dad. I loved the people there! I don't understand Americans being so full of hate for no reason what so ever! Xoxo Be Safe!!
Aww thank you so much for such a kind comment. I hope you are doing well! xo
I just got the bag but black denim cause it was different and is nice for college. The strap thing on the side is to keep the zipper from flopping around everywhere. Useful for that but other than that maybe I can hang on some cute charms to personalise it even more
I got the small white one with sort of golden embroidered "the tote bag", they call it limited edition but it was on sale so ended up paying even less. Using it as my yoga bag since I only carry water bottle, change of inner clothes and a towel to yoga. Love it. Not roomy if I need to carry everything listed above along with keys, card holder, sanitizer, wet wipes, tissues, earphones, sunglasses, and a book, but somehow I always tetris everything in. It's also my car catch all when I want more things with me on the car, but need less things when I head say into a restaurant, and it's actually very cute as a catch all - not too lumpy, while being very structured to hold lots of stuff. Love it. I do recommend it. But if you are a driver and don't find yourself regularly walking 20 minutes to yoga with a full bag, the shoulder strap feature wouldn't matter as much and I would recommend the larger size :)
Ahh yes, I totally get what you say about having to Tetris everything in. I will also do that. I think because it is a bit structured and the fabric doesn't have much give, you can't really throw things in. Glad you have been liking it and got a great deal on it!
Thanks! Loving your videos especially as a fellow Canadian :) Would you consider getting the larger tote?
Hi to a fellow Canadian! I have a few larger totes already, so it’s not on my radar. But, things always change😂!
My husband is Asian (and my daughter is half). We are very lucky in that she has not experienced any discrimination yet, to our knowledge. The kids her age are all very accepting of people, not disturbed by race, sexual orientation, etc. I hope, that at some time on the future, we move past judging people only on their skin color rather than their morals. Stay safe ❤️
So happy to hear that your daughter is growing up in a safe, accepting and supportive environment.☺️ Everyone deserves the same. Thank you and stay safe as well!
The strap is common in backpacks too. And it’s use to carry clothes or shoes.
Ahhh ok. I’m getting so many different answers about it and they all make sense!
Thanks! I love the black and most of my wardrobe is black but my bags like the Kanken backpack still seem to attract lint! 😖 I might go with the khaki version
I have a black kanken backpack too! I’ve just come to terms that I need to carry a lint roller with me 😂.
This one reminds me of the Prada tote bag. Similar size kinda same shape....❤️
It does! Never thought of that!
omgg the polene bag was gorgeous! so cute for summer
Yes! I can't wait for the summer months and to use it more!
I have this in the teddy shearling for winter love it!
The teddy shearling is gorgeous! I love that there are so many options with this bag.
Hi hun , would you recommend an organizer for this bag
Hey The little strap at the side of the bag is so the magnet on the end of the zipper attaches to it. That way the end of the zipper
doesn't flop around. Cheers Great review BTW
Do you think a bigger work laptop will fit? I have a dell laptop and I really want this size bag but I’m afraid it’s not going to a comfortable fit!
Not sure if you found an answer but I would also like to know! I have a 15 inch laptop for work and I don't want to buy the large tote since it seems too extreme.
Love the strap you have on your Pochette Accessoires! Any chance you still have a link to where you got it?
Hi! It’s from next fashion: nextfashion.ca/collections/straps/products/jumbo-curb-light-chain-16mm?variant=32254069047354&aff=7. If you use code lauren20, you can save 20% off!
thank you for this video! i think for the strap problem there are stoppers you can buy to keep the strap from stopping, I was torn between this one and the large tote but I think the large tote would be uncomfortable since I'll be carrying quite a bit of stuff! This video was helpful though it's just choosing the color
Ohh I’ll have to look into some stoppers for the strap! Thank you for the info!💕
do u regret ur choice of getting the small cus I'm stuck too
I used this mj bag too it really nice and practical as well. 😃😃
Yes, very practical! Glad to hear you are loving it!
Hey, great review! The strap on the side holds the zipper with a magnet x
Thank you! I didn’t know it was magnetic!
@@LValiquette just realised the canvas doesn't have a magnet :( but it still fits nicely under! Love your channel xx
Thank you for your review. The side loop is for a scarf. You can tie a scarf on the side loop.
Its just to put the zipper in it but you gave me a good idea i’ll put a scarf on mine too
Tfs nice bag it's a side handle every one thinks it's a water bottle holder 👍
LOL, so many people have let me know it's not for a water bottle 😂. That was my mistake, but I'm so happy to know now!
That loop thing on the side thats useless can be used to tuck in the long zipper that sticks out.
Great video. I’m wanting this bag but thinking leather.
The leather version is beautiful!
Its just a handle. Not meant for a water bottle. I sprayed my bag with scotchgard, helped stop the line build up on the black.
Yep, so many people have let me know it's a handle!
Where did you get your pink see through makeup bag/pouch? So cute?
what size mac do you have, im planning on using for school and want to make sure my laptop will fit?
Can you make a video like this for the Polène Cabás?
I definitely can! Thanks for sharing the idea!
Do you think it fits a macbook 16 inch in the small size?
Love this bag, hate the lint factor
Agreed!💯
Can’t focus on the bag cause all I can see it’s you hair. Wow! What do you do to make and keep them soooo shiny? Beautiful. Love your style. Seems to be very classic and classy.
Awww thank you so much for a sweet compliment! My hair is actually super thick and coarse (which makes me very lazy with the upkeep). I think it looks so shiny because I run a straightening iron over it 😂.
The slot on the side is not for a water bottle it’s to tuck the end of the zipper pull in so it doesn’t stick up!
Ahh, got it!
@@LValiquette also I think it would be good to hang your sunglasses
Actually the little thing u said on the side u said that’s useless serves as a magnetic piece for the end piece is zipper in case it’s too long or bothers u
Can you tell us where you shop? Love your hoodies❤️
Thank you! Most of my hoodies are from Aritzia!
The side is for the end of the zipper which is magnetic to stick to. You can also put sunglasses and scarf there.
Ohhhh thank you! I didn't know it was magnetic!
Hi hun it’s not a water bottle holder it’s just another handle as it is a Traveler bag in case it’s under a seat on an aeroplane you can use that to grab and pull it by or it’s in the back of your car you can grab it by the handle
Yes, I've got so many different replies on what it's used for haha!
That’s for sharing
Thanks for watching!
i like the form factor of this bag but I think one con too is that the text "The Tote Bag" sooo gaudy!
Yes, some people love it and other people don't!
Hi, can I ask what Macbook Air you're using?
Hi is your laptop a 13” ? I have thought about this bag it’s very cool and practical but would need to fit my 13” laptop
It does! Mine is 13”.
@@LValiquette hiii! Thank you so much for the review! I am going to purchase one from the Nordstrom site, since I have a $50 GC. My laptop is 13.5".. would that still fit? I am looking for a tote that will fit my laptop!
I ordered the medium but the emailed receipt says Small Traveler. I’m so confused on what size I’m going to even get.
You are exceptionally pretty today I love your make up. I got this bag in the new ditzy floral and I watched your original on this bag video a hundred times before I bought it LOL
Aww thank you ☺️, such a sweet comment. The ditzy floral is an amazing print!
i notice the strap shifts for the marc jacobs snapshot bag too. its pretty annoying
Ohh! I thought maybe because I fill my tote up and it gets too heavy. But that's strange it does it with the snapshot (such a cute bag btw!).
Do u recommend the small for a diaper bag or to go ahead and just get the large? Thanks!
I only have the small, so I can't say!
I hang my sunglasses or headphones on that part of the bag where the strip is.
I’ve been having my sunglasses there too!
Just wondering if you've seen the new micro tote size? ...any thoughts?
I have! It’s very cute!
the side strap is to hook the dangling zipper end and keep it in place
Could you please tell me where you bought that I've been looking for that bag I live in Ontario thank you for the video
The Bay
Would you add a bag organizer?
I don't think I'd add one in. I keep most of my items in pouches. But if you have a lot of loose items, an organizer would be helpful!
what's your macbook's size? would it fit a 13'' macbook air? thanks!!
It's a 13" macbook
Which do you prefer or which is better? leather or canvas?
I guess leather is heavier because of the material and that thin strap
So would this be considered the medium now? Or mini? Because on the website I don’t see any that say “small”
Yes, the small is now called the medium.
@@LValiquettethank you!
Will the 16 macbook pro fit in this bag? I'd greatly appreciate it if you could answer my aowwnts.
I don’t have a 16 inch MacBook, so I don’t know.
Hey did you ever find out yo it fits? I also have 16 Ian’s il debating on getting this bag
Thank you sm .. I’m ordering mines now! I just needed to know if a MacBook would fit & it does so thanks!
Yay! I hope you love it as much as I do!
That’s what I wanted to know! I want to use it for a school bag.
@@LValiquette but does it fit the MacBook Pro in 15" or is yours 13"? I want to order it as well but I assume my 15" won't fit :/
@@annek1558 I have a MacBook air
Hey gorgeous! How has it held up in wear and tear as far as fading?
No fading so far! It's held up really well!
What size is your MacBook Air?
Do you think a 14 inch laptop will fit in this bag?
The loop on the side is a handle, not for a water bottle. It makes it easy to pull the tote from under an airplane seat.
thanks!
has this color lightened over time? i hear some say it turns into a brown instead of a black?
Nope! Still black!
What is the measurement for this small size?
I think that side strap is to hang your sunglasses or doggy poop bags.
It’s definitely not....it’s to tuck the side of the zipper pull in so that it doesn’t stick up!
@@CassandraReneeXOXO it’s deff for doggy poop bags. Perfect thick strap to hang a doggy poop bag holder. Perfect access for the bags. It was made for the bags.
@@CassandraReneeXOXO That's what someone else mentioned 😂
Is this bag good for college ?
Hi lauren Great video I just want to ask about the loge in the white (the tote bag) one
is it gone with use or clean ?
I have a bad experience with the printed logo like that
the logo is still in perfect condition😊
OMG you have the cutest sneezes
LOL! Thank you! My allergies are crazy.
I don’t think the side piece is for a water bottle or umbrella. It’s for the zipper. Probably to make it stylish.
I have two of these bags I love them!
Do you take your lunch with you to work? Would it fit?
A small lunch bag would fit on top. I usually have another cloth tote I carry in addition with work papers, so if I have a lunch that day, I’ll throw it in there.
That side piece is to hold the zipper down - not to hold anything.
LOL, ok, that makes more sense. I wish they showed it that way on the MJ website!
Do you think this bag could fit a 14in MacBook
What’s the tab on the side for
Some people use the loop hole on the side of the bag for their sunglasses
I think the loop on the side is just a handle! Like if you stow it under your seat on the plane or train, then it’s just a handle to pull the bag out. I saw someone mention this in another review vid of the bag and it made sense to me! :)
Ahhhh that makes sense too! Such a strange little extra price of fabric 😂
In one of the videos someone alsp said that it was to hang your sunglasses.
Please link or let me know what bag you had your Advil etc in?
It's a Stasher bag - bit.ly/2PfIATb 😀
@@LValiquette thank you so much!!! Love your videos!!
The hook is for a scarf or sunglasses...
Thank you!
Being Filipino & Black I have definitely felt treated in a negative way. I wish for more kindness. About the bag.... I have the large and the same size as you and love them both. I too don't understand the side strap--- I wish it was on the back and wide enough to go on your luggage handle (hello -- Traveler Tote!!!).
I love your name! You look very stylish from your pic ☺️. Yes! That would make much more sense to fit over the luggage handle.
I’m torn about what size. Because I want it for travel and neither of these have a luggage strap. They do have one that has the luggage strap but it’s more
Long than wide and I think too small for what I want
It’s not for a bottle, but more for scarves or sunglasses.
