What prompted you to buy the black caviar and lambskin bags? Also, do you think they are different enough? I ask this question because I have the caviar bag, but always want to buy the black lambskin bag. I try to explain that because I also have the black lambskin square mini bag. Recently I was going to buy this one a *gtdupe* because it is very cheap.
I like the design but I don't have the budget. So I bought a *hotdups* bag. Made of high quality legal snakeskin made by local artists in Indonesia. I never want to buy any luxury goods again since then.
A celebrity stylist admitted that many celebrities wear *hotdups* . It's not new or strange. And many times, we see celebrities posing in magazines, promotions and advertisements. The photos are provided by the brand or borrowed by themselves.
Yes, the color of the *hotdups* is beautiful, it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag in the colder months when we have things to store, such as gloves, beanies, scarves, etc...
I love this bag, Mariana!! I’ve been seeing it everywhere and was SO curious to know more about it. It’s gorgeous, I love how minimal it is! Thank you so much for sharing 🤎 really great video xx
@@milainnewyork Thank you dear Mila for the comment! Indeed, the bag is absolutely gorgeous and of such high quality! I believe it’s fit your classic chic style like a glove ♥️
Hi Mariana! Great video! I hadn’t heard of this brand before, but the bag is gorgeous and looks really spacious. I totally relate to your issue with shoulder bags, they never stay on my shoulders either 😂 that’s why I usually go for crossbody bags instead
I stick with my Prada nylon fanny pack, or I prefer the vintage fanny pack. But you are the first one who made me really fall in love with this awesome travel bag. It fits inside like a small bag *hotdups*
I just received mine in black with gold hardware. I think it’s lovely. I wish the top handle was just a bit long so you wouldn’t have to fiddle with the top when getting into the bag but I will deal with it. The strap is really nice as well. Comfortable to wear.
How exciting, the gold hardware was definitely a great feature for most people. I feel you about the top handle but I’ve got used to it and I do think it adds a little extra “protection” to the bag.
Thanks for the vlog. I ordered the Olive version on Sept 18 (not shipped yet). The pre-order window was open for maybe a few hours if that long. I only got it in time because another UA-camr posted on their community page pre-orders were open and I just happened to see it on my feed within an hour of that post. I was checking The Horse website every morning. Definitely would have missed it had I not been doom scrolling so late at night.
Oh, the olive green is gorgeous! I heard how quickly the presales sold out, great you got in! I think it's great for the brand, like I said, I'm happy to support small/medium family businesses - I just hope the bag doesn't become too mainstream and there are tons of dupes everywhere like what happened with Polene.
Hi Mari, I also saw this bag through Shannon and it reminds me of a Valentino bag I bought for my mom years ago for the shape. It looks more qualitative though and I now see the appeal of such a shape. I'd be interested in the green one, if only they added a zipper. When I'm on the subway and public transport in general, I don't feel safe with this type of magnetic closure. But the leather looks so luuuuxe! Nice purchase. PS: I have the same problem with shoulder bags lol
Oh, I haven't seen the Valentino bag! And yes, I understand your concern, I wouldn't carry it in Brazil either... nice to know I'm not the only one with shoulder bags!
@@marianapereirae 😉 I think I bought it back in 2004 as a gift for my mom. Those shapes were very popular back then. I wish brands thought about the safety aspect in their designs. Nowadays, it’s not just people with cars who’d want to carry around more elevated bags
This video is a refreshing look at their unconventional approach to sustainability and longevity. When you break down *hotdups* , you'll see that the craftsmanship and appreciation of each artisan is heart and soul
As an Aussie I don’t see anyone wearing this (which I like!). They have used clever marketing sending them to influencers. They are certainly not a heritage brand like Oroton (which is the Aussie equivalent of Coach) No, it’s not a puzzle equivalent but it’s also only $250 AUD compared to $5300 for a Loewe puzzle. $5000 😮😅 is literally my electricity, gas, water, rates, internet, home and car insurance for a year! I like that it’s a crossbody with a handle on top and like you, I wear white gold/silver so I like the hardware. I only have one leather bag at the moment (a Marc Jacobs) so I may have to order one! Thanks for sharing Mariana ❤
Great to know that they're still not as mainstream as I thought. Your comparison makes sense as the brand was launched around 2009, which isn't that long ago compared to the more established ones. I also don't think it's a puzzle bag dupe, it does have a similar shape which I thought would be helpful to try before knowing if I would pull the trigger on the Loewe bag, but as you said, it becomes unjustifiable when you can have such a great quality bag for a fraction of the original puzzle bag price. Ultimately, our love for fashion should never exceed our budget and lead to unsustainable and unjustified purchases. Thanks for always leaving a comment on you my videos 🥰
Did you like the bag? I'm curious, what's your favourite mid-range/indie bag brand?

I just ordered the mini in tan! They are having a 30% site wide sale and most colors are re-stocked. I can't wait to receive mine. 😊
@@bagit90 Amazing, you’re gonna love it!! 😍
Beautiful bag. I love this brand, I now have this bag in 4 colors.
I love it too! Better than their quality is the price tag 😍

Glad you got yours and my video helped ❤ someone was nice enough to let me know you gave me a nice shout out!
What a honor to have you here!! I love your channel and your honest expert reviews are always very helpful ♥️
I ordered one last week and I'm so excited to receive it ! Great video. Thank you for sharing .
How exciting! I hope you’ll love yours too 🥰

It’s a beautiful bag! I am loving the style… similar to the puzzle bag
Isn’t it?! I also find them similar but Clementine definitely has personality and great quality to not be considered a dupe-dupe ☺️

@@shelleyzoe8254 How nice - I visited the city a couple of times and is a true gem!
I live in Denmark and have bought from america and from japan and china and i had to pay customs.
Good to know! Something to keep in mind when ordering outside the EU next time - thanks for the comment!
When buying from outside the EU you usually have to pay both import fees AND taxes. 😢
