  • AVOID THESE BASIC LOOKING LUXURY ITEMS | Don't Waste Your Money On These OVERHYPED Luxury Items
    Hi Friends, Today, I'm sharing with you my review of some of the most popular luxury items to avoid 2024 because they'll make you look basic. Some people would consider these a luxury summer wardrobe staple, but I find that they're quite overdone and lost their exclusivity. Let's talk about what not to buy at Hermes and Louis Vuitton, and what no one's telling you about the Hermes Mini Kelly.

    I was in Amsterdam recently and I was carrying my mini Kelly . I only saw one person carrying one . I even saw people staring at my mini Kelly like they have never seen one before . I watch all of your videos and listen to all your opinions but I would say that having Hermes pieces is not basic to the general population . It might be basic to the elite which is 5 percent or less of the population but not the general public . We as a community are very privileged to own these pieces that the general public could not even dare to think of buying one . Just a tiny reminder about perspective I should say . Love your videos still !!

      @@IamGPSI was just there for a few days but I was in Italy for more than a week and had the same observation . By no means I am trying to contradict your statement . I was just reflecting on the state of the world . Lots of wars , poverty and death . I feel so grateful to afford these Hermes things with hard work . I wish everyone has that opportunity. I have watched all your videos and enjoyed every video. I think what captured my attention to this video is the word basic . Basic to me means basic ( like a basic need that everyone should have ). We were in Italy and they broke into our car and took our luggage . The thieves only stole my Hermes clothes and shoes and didn't care about the other brands . It sort of made me realize how much people want it and know how valuable they are . Keep doing your videos ! I applaud you for the time you take making them .

      Even if I did have a lot of money, I couldn't justify spending it on handbags, and this is coming from a girl who loves bags. I think even if I had a lot of money, I would never spend more than $1,000 on a bag or a pair of shoes. Just my thoughts. Love your videos, your collection is beautiful *hotdups*

    Orans are holiday shoes for the beach or just wandering around casually. They aren't for long walks. Someone was complaining about them because they wore them shopping on hard concrete, and how they don't offer any support. But they simply aren't made for this! I pointed this out but it's an unpopular thing to say. I really like the Oz mules, however they would be too hot in peak Australian summer.
    Epi leather duffles are so heavy! No, just no! It defeats the purpose...lightweight always for travel IMO.

    I’ve had the Oran sandals for more than 10 years and have worn them regularly. The leather still looks great and there’re no issues at all. The sound issue is only with the Oasis sandals with the block heels. The Oran sandals don’t make that sound at all. I think they’re worth the price given how well made and hard wearing they are. I know there’re great dupes out there but I doubt they’ll last 10 years and still look the same.

    Hi G, I really appreciate you speaking about the imperfect things about the mini Kelly to look out for. Not that I plan to own one and I do respect people who do and can understand the excitement being able to, but Hermes doesn’t mean always perfect (these days at least) and we should not let the defects slide if we feel it doesn’t warrant the price tag. it’s just refreshing to hear honest thoughts. 🤍

I really like the LV Pharrell Speedy P9 50 or the Speedy P9 25; however I would not spend $9,300 or $12,400 on a travel bag, if I was ever able to locate one, so I’m probably going to look for a bag in the Damier Pop series, in the pre loved market!

    I really want Hermes to come out with an “H” wedge similar to the legend, slightly higher, with NO strap… that strap is uncomfortable and chops off your legs making them look shorter. But the Oran and Oasis, meh… oasis looks “old lady” to me lol 🫣
    Also as a very petite person who has small wrists and cannot wear most non-adjustable, I’m really happy Hermes makes the clic-H in a small size. I love them. I have them in multiple colors, wear them all the time, and have very little wear on them at all.
    Respectfully I feel like your statements are rather… condescending and elitist, even small minded in some ways. And I say that as someone who can basically go out and buy whatever I want. The idea that you see something a lot therefore you don’t like it?? Well did you really like it to begin with or did you just buy it because it was supposedly exclusive and now it’s not? Keep in mind that for some people the ability to own even one thing from Hermes feels like a life goal, much less a bag.
    Regardless still enjoy your channel I will just have to agree to disagree with some of these opinions.
