Love these!!! Wish you would do one on how heavy they are.. even crossbody can get heavy, but want something to hold my essentials and sunnies! You are gorgeous, and make me smile every time I check in. Thanks so much!
I was laughing every time you slipped and started talking about what you love each bag... 😂
haha - it was so hard not to because I love these bags so much!
Great video idea! About the Alma, I attach the strap straight to the handles hardware, not the one meant for the strap, so it’s shorter on me (I’m quite petite). Also I wear my lock hanging from the colchete like in a Birkin, it dresses up the bag and it makes no noise!
great idea - I will have to try that - thanks!
I LOVE that you spoke about all three of the LV bags I’m debating on in this video. I’m leaning towards the Locky, but the Alma and Pochette are still really on my mind. Thanks for your thoughts
thank you so much for watching!
I own the ysl camera bag and mine actually had an extra piece to where you can secure the excess strap! Not sure if it’s something they added to the newer bags since I did recently purchase it.
Same, mine has it too. I think i bought it around the same time as Amber
My bag has it too. It looks like Amber has it too she just didn’t pull it through.
first roll the strap in the opposite direction (that it's curling ) then move the leather "loop" which it looks like you have to close to the buckle down towards the end of the strap. that's what it's for.
With the Pochette Metis, if you hold/use the little front tab to close it, it clicks in everytime. No fighting with the latch whatsoever! Hope this helps.
So thankful for videos like these ! Thanks for being so honest, its so helpful xo
This is something I was hoping to watch. Its definitely helpful to know what people don't like about their bags instead of why they like them. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I wholeheartedly agree w/ treating vachetta w Apple guarde. I did that w my brand new pochette Métis 4 years ago and it has held up beautifully. Light even patina w/no imperfections. It shocked me! Would definitely do that in the future w/ bags I acquire that have a fair amount of vachetta. Loved this video, I find this super helpful!
Thanks for sharing!! I will definitely have to try that next time!
How is your YSL lou bag not bent??? I have one and there’s a constant bump from me wearing it as a crossbody☹️ Is there anything else you do to keep it’s shape???
Hello, I’m thinking of purchasing a new LV bag but debating between the alma bb and lock bb. Which one do you like better ?
I had the same concerns with the leather on the Pochette Métis. I was lucky enough to score a limited edition bag with the braided handle and treated leather.
Thanks for pointing that out with the medium Chanel classic Flap! That’s on the top of my wish list! I’ll probably go with the caviar leather hopefully one day!
thanks so much for watching!
Instead of using tape, I use tiny hair bands to tie down by bag straps. You can looped them a couple times so they become another strap loop. It's easy and doesn't leave a sticky residue on your straps.
Great idea - thanks so much!
Bags & Bunnies Me too! I use a transparent tiny hair band on mine. 👍
I loved this type of video! New subscriber! I love the locky BB but that handle would bother me so much!
aw thank you so much! xoxo
Such a good point about the envelope bag being more dressy. I have a more casual style so that’s definitely something to keep in mind. TFS
thank you so much for watching!
Thanks for this very informative video Amber. I have the YSL camera bag, but I don’t have this problem because I’m tall and always use the last hole to make the strap as long as possible. I guess you could fix yours: ask your cobbler to tailor an extra leather buckle to secure the extra part of your strap 😊
thanks so much!! XOXO
Great video! I 100% agree about Lady Dior, it's super delicate.
thanks for watching!
Tip for the pochette Métis, when closing it use the tab and it’ll gently guide you to the closure. Should work every time!
thank you so much for the tip!
A very helpful video, Amber! So interesting 😊! 💕
Glad it was helpful!
I have the bag organizer for the Gucci camera bag and the Pochette Metis, that solve the problems, and a small black rubber band for the YSL camera bag, it fixed my problem too.
I got my Large Lady Dior ((beige) preloved, and I love the look and feel of it, but yes the strap doesn't seem sturdy enough. I still LOVE my bag, but I carry it top handle way more than I do cross body
thanks so much for watching!
I got a scratch on the lock of my Locky BB the day I finally took off the protective plastic 😭😂 but I agree it’s such a solid bag but it frustrates me that the handle flops like that and that it also doesn’t stand well on its own.
thank you for watching!!
Same problem with my pochette metis. It’s hard to close the s lock. I wish it’s a magnetic closure. Great video again 💕💕
Thank you 🤗
My only complaint on my PM is that it falls over when I set it down, most of the time. So annoying. My coach Cassie stands sturdy and I LOVE that. Great video !
Hi im really trying to decide whether should I go with either Alma bb or Locky bb. Can you please advice me which one you think its worth it more? Thx!
OOH that is a tough one - I love both bags so much! I think the Alma is more practical, but I love both!
I LOVED this video topic Amber!! I own or have owned most of the bags you talked about and I had the same feelings you expressed...I guess great minds think alike 😂😂 Sometimes even when we love our favourites, it doesn’t mean they are perfect:) Also, this video will help others looking to purchase these bags as we all have different things that bug us so it can help them see if it will be a dealbreaker for them 😬
This is such a great video idea, thank you for sharing!
thank you so much for watching!
This is such a good topic! Its quite surprising chanel woc flips up like that 😅
thank you so much for watching! Have a wonderful day!
Amber Ashleigh you too amber!
Very good topic!! Thanks for sharing dear!!
Thanks for watching
Super mon amie intéressante video belle présentation 🥰😁🌈👍👍
Hey Amber! Love this video so much!!! Please do a hair tutorial and favorite shoes! 😍
Great idea!! Thanks so much!
Great video and I agree with all your points mentioned. What bothers me the most are straps that aren’t adjustable and straps that don’t have a tab to hold the end down especially since they are all so expensive. But I still love my Alma bb but carry her top handle most of the time. My Classic Medium Chanel flap, I have in caviar, PM I sold and got it in Reverse Mono instead. I still don’t own either of the 2 Camera bags because of the strap tails but considering the Mini Lou Camera bag.
Good point! Thanks for watching!
I completely enjoyed this video! I think we can allrelate to really loving a bag, and still wish there was something that could be slightly "tweaked"!💙
PS...Look really closely at your YSL Camera Bag...In your prior video "5 Top Crossbody Bags" (about 8 months ago) at the 2:47 mark, you can see there was an additional leather wrap...but it was pushed all the way down toward the square hardware on the side of the bag ...below the detachable tassel!!! Hope this helps!!! 💙💙💙
I have never found the perfect bag
Apple guard is a blessing. I treat all my LV vachetta items with it! ❤️
thank you - I will have to try that!
You’re welcome! Love your videos!
If you could only choose one... Would you get the YSL camera bag or the Gucci soho disco? I'm going back and forth. Watched your comparison and I'm still undecided lol! Love your videos 🙌🏼
Since you love your large Lady Dior so much but don't care for the weight, have you thought about getting a newer version in a smaller size? I have a medium one with a flap opening and don't feel like it's heavy at all. Plus, the medium size can hold all your essentials and then some! Thanks for your video Amber! It's very helpful!
great idea - I would love to get another one! Thanks for watching!
definitely helpful.. thank you..nice review
I love this video so much! I clicked so fast! I have designer bags and I always find things I don’t like about it
aw thank you so much for watching!
Hi amber it’s been a while 😉ok love this video so informative ! I sold my ysl s never used them ! No regrets on the lou Lou but missing my camera bag I got the latte color I think that’s why I never used it! Lol I want it in black with silver hardware I think I’ll use it 🤪. I also really want a balenciaga that’s my next beauty I want! Take care love yas
aw I hope you are well - thanks for watching!
Very informative! Great video and I appreciate you for making this video.. often times when I do research for a brand new bag, they’re only talking about what’s good.I have the alma and I love it to death and it’s the cutest but I do not like the way it lays on my body when I wear it crossbody.. and the strap! Like how you mentioned, its not adjustable 🤦🏻♀️ lol
aw thank you so much for watching!
I would like to know what designer handbag would you suggest that is not logo heavy? That isn't obvious?
Have you done a comparison on the Métis and the soho, if not can you do one. I’m interested to see if they will hold the same or close ?
I haven't done a comparison between those two videos, but that is a great idea!
One thing I don’t like about the Disco bag is it flips over when you grab the strap to put it on. Always make sure it’s zipped lol🙈
yes good point - thanks for watching!
Love all your info!
Thanks so much!
My soho disco is dirty on the inside too, I usually keep my bags super clean on the inside but for some reason that bag just collects lint and dirt.
thank you so much for watching!
Great video Amber! I have the same issues with my YSL camera bag.
For your gorgeous YSL camera bag...check out mini rubber bands at the drug store in the hair accessories isle, I use them on my soho disco so the strap end doesn't wing out. They come in all kinds of colors including black. If not at the drug store try a craft store where they sell kits for kids to make rubber band jewelry, there is literally a rainbow of colors which will match every bag!
great idea - thanks so much!
I completely removed the clochette and just wear my Alma bb top handle only without the strap. It’s an amazing roomy bag and so so cute but the crossbody diagonal strap situation with the clochette all in the way was just infuriating sometimes lol. Handheld I think it’s perfect !
I love this video topic! I've got the givenchy antigona mini, I don't like how the opening is so small but I still love the bag 😊
Thanks for watching!
thanks so much for sharing. This is really helpful!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing !😊
Thanks for watching!
Amber you can just wash the inside of the Gucci soho disco or just stick amd organizer in it and that will take care of the dirt and the structure loss.
great idea - thanks so much!
Awesome video Amber, it is nice to hear the negatives so we can decide better what to buy or not to buy
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!
Thank you for this video! Question...I just purchased the YSL camera bag with the black hardware. Have you heard any negatives in regards to that? I love the classy look with the low key hardware. This is my first designer bag purchase and I’m so nervous! Lol
I think you made a good choice and I have not heard any negatives. Enjoy your bag. XOXO
Amber Ashleigh Thank you!
I own the YSL camerabag and don’t recognize that issue at al. What did you do to it Amber😱
haha - I guess I used it too much - LOL. Have a good evening!
So funny I was just asking you about the Alma bb and Pochette Métis on IG and then I see you posted this video 😂
New subbie here. Thanks for sharing. Your lambskin cf is how old?
aw thanks for watching! It is 10 years old!
@Amber Ashleigh You can easily fix the strap end on your YSL camera bag with a silicone hair tie, one of those tiny see-through ones. I've used them on several bags that don't have that very necessary holder for the strap. Just thread the hair tie on the strap and tuck the end of the strap in. It doesn't really show and it's very secure. Using tape isn't a good idea because it stains the leather and loses its grip fast.
This was a great video concept btw!
thanks so much for the advice and for watching!
I love the YSL camera bag but that loose curly piece of leather sticking out on the strap is a big no no for me. 🤦🏻♀️ That’s why I only buy bags that have at least two leather tabs that hold down all the strap nice and tidy. I talk about this in my “handbag dealbreakers” video! 😂
You are right! I do agree with you 100% because I had the same issue, 👍
thank you so much for watching!
Amber maybe one day you can create your own bag! That would be so awesome!
Maybe one day! That would be amazing!
@@AmberAshleigh35 it really would!
For the strap on the YSL camera bag, if you go to a shoe or leather repair, they can probably make a little black band to fit around the strap to hold the runaway part flat.
thank you so much! I might have to do that!
I need to do that w my speedy !
On the YsL camera, or any like that really, I will detached the strap at the buckle and roll each end inward before tucking into the bag for storage. That will help train the end piece of the strap to turn in the right way!
This was a great idea for a video!
Thank you!!
Hmm, I have the same Chanel WOC and my flaps lay perfectly flat. I’ve never seen the flaps stick up like that. 🤔
It's from over stuffing the bag most likely. The bag is stuffed and the snap clasp is only in the center so the force on the button pushed the sides of the bag out like that.
Have you noticed any cracking on the corners of the locky bb’s canvas? Love it but worried if I get it that may be an issue!
nope - so far so good.
great video, thank you, super informative xx
Glad it was helpful! XOXO
I have the YSL bag...there is a small leather bans to hold down the strap. Yours appears to be too high. Pull it down and insert the extra strap length. Should fix the only negative you have!!
On my soho i put bag organizer so the interior will not get dirty also the shape☺️
yep - just got one. Thanks for watching!
For the camera bag I’ll bet you could find a leather wrap with a snap closure so that it’s not permanently attached, but snug enough to keep the strap down. Etsy maybe? I have that bag but mine doesn’t do that. Maybe it will with time.
great idea - thanks so much!
Maybe you can iron the YSL strap down? Of course put a cloth over the strap before ironing
thanks for the tip - XOXO
This was very interesting! I totally agree with you on the Chanel lamb. My medium got scratched day one, and I cannot buff the marks out with my fingers either. Their lamb is so beautiful but too fragile. Xoxo
aw thanks so much for watching! xoxo
Do you prefer your Locky bb or alma bb??!
alma bb for sure
Good video idea xx I did a video about some things I don't like about luxury... it's a more general type. 🙂
Can try by take the bag given cloth from Chanel and go over the surface scratch rub it
Have you ever moisturize the bags? You should do that, at least twice a year. Leather is a living material, and if not taken care properly, will struggle with time. I know that some people like to display their bags in the rooms, but that's not the best way to keep them in good conditions. Direct light can altere leather and hardware.
I think you should create a TAG with this video and tag other youtubers. That would be interesting 😉 It's a very usefull video.
Thanks for the idea!
Hey I have the YSL medium envelope bag and it’s a great cross body bag defo more casual I think too because it’s smaller! Also for your channel lamb skin look up thehandbag haven on IG their balm they sell is the one!!!
Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for your honesty
My pleasure
I love my Croisette but its top handle bothers me when I am trying to open the bag while wearing it.
thanks so much - I agree! XOXO
TFS!! Love all your bags!!
Thanks so much!
Great tips!!!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the info👍🏾
great video idea!
Thank you! xoxo
I want to buy the Locky BB. With luxury items, I’m always thinking about how I can wear it long term. I’m 35 so, you just can’t wear every bag.
Very helpful - thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Put some double sided fashion tape- transparent to your YSL.
thanks - I might have to try that!
Most of these are from improper storage to be honest with you. If you expect these to bags to be perfect you have to store them stuffed, with dustbags, straps not improperly thrown on the inside, handles up etc.
Wow!!!! Fantastic video!!! Loved it! Thank you Amber 💖💖💖
Something I’ve learn before I buy some luxury purse. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Amber as always I enjoyed your video. You can use wax paper on your zipper and it will work better.
Great idea!!
Im glad you share this video. I feel so much honesty from you. Made me decide better on my future decision of getting a new bag as i dont have huge collection. Take care 👜💖
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Very informative!

For some reason...you look like SJP...love your videos

Don’t ruin your camera bag with tape, fasten the floppy bit with a black hair elastic instead! 😊
I will have to try that - thanks!
