    • @cherrytung
      @cherrytung 7 років тому +8

      Personally, I would go for LV cles. It's more affordable in the luxury market and amazingly durable and practical. :)

      Try Furla firstly.. or Kate spade ♠️.

    • @sparklekitty99ify
      @sparklekitty99ify 5 років тому

      Gadis Desa Persoanlly, I wouldn’t recommend Kate Spade bags. They aren’t the best investment, as they tend to go down in price. Furla is a great suggestion though! They are classic and last. I would also say Mulberry bags. Same ballpark price, just as beautiful and timeless.

    Yes Bulgari has precious stones on the serpents head the green stones are malachite! the bag is considered a Tunnel bottom envelope bag if anyone was wondering! Its no easy task to make patterns for this type of bag. Such a lovely purchase!

  • @MuseFanatic95
    @MuseFanatic95 8 років тому +7

    Ooooh this is the first bad thing I've heard about the Chanel Boy! I'm glad you said something as I feel like we are only mostly exposed to all the positives with the highend designer brands which may lead to a bit of disappointment! Loved this video! ☺️

  • @dorotavarga9469
    @dorotavarga9469 8 років тому +33

    I'm still in love with Chanel boy bag and I hope I will get it one day! I just love the design of it! I understand why it is not the best option for you but for me it's still beautiful. You Bvulgari bag is also amazing! Good luck with the next purchases! I can't wait for new videos like this!

    They call that Saint Laurent bag the "Classic Toy Sac De Jour" :) The tiniest version they sell. Then (going up in size) it's Nano, Baby, Small :P

    • @carolynd4404
      @carolynd4404 8 років тому +1

      Caitie Rachar yeah I was wondering why it looked smaller than the nano when I saw the unboxing video

  • @KarrieStanfill
    @KarrieStanfill 8 років тому +2

    I love this video. The very first video I ever watched of yours was the Saint Laurent unboxing. I will admit being shocked at the size of it and couldn't figure out how you could make that bag work. We all have purchases we regret. I have sold most of mind. I really enjoyed this video.

  • @graceaggies97
    @graceaggies97 7 років тому +2

    Thanks for your honest opionion. I almost considered the medium boy but you are right... the small is the better size.

  • @anniewatson4170

  • @Moomookitty-vq3ch
    @Moomookitty-vq3ch 8 років тому +2

    I'm thinking the reason for the indentation on the boy is from wearing it crossbody, bumping against your hip while walking perhaps? I have both the Chanel m/l and a Le Boy in old medium and it's very similar in size. Your such a delight and sweet girl to watch. Positively and kindness flow from your eyes. Big hello from San Francisco.

  • @Dedeecheer
    @Dedeecheer 8 років тому +2

    Hi Lydia, I looooooove your channel ! I believe the larger boy bag will eventually sell for a lot more when the trend of small handbags is over. In the classic flap, the jumbo has been the most popular one for decades. So I wouldn't be surprised if the demand for the bigger Le Boy increase in the next years. That said, if you don't wear it, you better sell it and enjoy another handbag. Big love from Canada ❤️

    You should just sell the YSL a little cheaper than what you purchased for. The size is ridiculous but hopefully you can make get some $$ out of it instead of just sitting in your closet somewhere hahaha

  • @tiffanydunne5257
    @tiffanydunne5257 7 років тому

    Totally agree with the Chanel boy bag! I bought a burgundy one that was the same size as yours over a year ago. I've probably only worn it a couple times and the wear is so terrible. The service I received from the store also put me off from it because the first couple of times I went there, they weren't showing me any boy bags saying they were all 'out of stock' until the last time I went there for one (I returned a previous handbag and got store credit so I had to use it up) and the lady pulled the burgundy one out and surprisingly she told me that this one was sitting in the stock room for a couple of months! I was absolutely furious at how many of my visits went wasted because the store assistants simply didn't want to show me this bag. The wear on the bag is terrible and it is one of my worst purchases - the chain also creates dents on the leather!!however one of my best handbag purchases is also another Chanel bag of mine so I guess the brand is not all that bad! 😛

    Lydia love the video as aways and how honest, I think you should sell the Boy bag now n buy the size you want as a lot of review of this bag say that material is not good , n u should sell it now when it still is in good condition

  • @kristinadeluca3785
    @kristinadeluca3785 8 років тому +2

    With the channel boy, just wish you showed it off on your shoulder, to see how it fit to your frame, actually with all the bags lol.

  • @greenorangeviolet
    @greenorangeviolet 7 років тому

    omg that YSL bag is hilarious!! when you pulled it out, I just died

  • @MartaButkiewicz
    @MartaButkiewicz 8 років тому

    You pulled out the YSL, and I immediately thought of the mini mini Sun bag by Mansur Gavriel that I recently bought. For some reason I thought it was larger? I almost returned it the very next day, BUT I realized that my phone and other essentials DO fit in it, so I was keeping it.
    Mansur Gavriel is probably my favorite contemporary designer (I own 5 of their bags), so returning one didn't feel right. I wear my MG bags to death. I just wore my blush mini bucket bag all summer, every day, since I bought it in May. JUST switched over to my Gucci Dionysus supreme small that I received last week (a wish list bag acquired!).
    I'm definitely going to grab the next size up in the MG Sun bag, the mini size, because the measurements are definitely great for an every day bag. The only decision I need to make is if I want the burgundy color in smooth calfskin (my fave) or pebbled (something about that color with that texture looks so good!).
    Glad to be able to share my bag love with someone! Some people don't get it. I'm finally starting to be able to graduate to some higher end designers. I love your Chanel classic flap. I snagged a jumbo single flap in caviar on consignment, but realized that combo, size, what have you, wasn't for me. It sat on the shelf since I bought it! I was afraid to take it out and use it! Thinking I want to go smaller and lambskin, EVEN though most find it too delicate. I just love that sheen. The mini square is another one I want.
    Love from the Northeast, USA! xoxo

Wow, you really do love handbags :D I could never afford that, I would feel so bad if I bought an item like this for that amnount of money :o But it's totally okay, if you choose to do so! :) (I mean you've worked for several years and can definitely afford it)

    You can use the YSL bag as a belt around your waist. I've seen it done with the Fendi one a lot. Looks really nice on dresses. So you can put in a couple of lipsticks and just wear it as a belt.

    The YSL looks like it made for pixies 😂 I love your classic flap! You look so classy with it. Your style is so inspirational 😍

    Hello! First time watching your vids! I just had to comment because the same thing happen to my boy bag early on. My husband made me aware that I initially kept grabbing the bag from that top part but I didn't realize it.

    Thanks for the advise on the Chanel bags. Will now continue with purchase of the classic flap 😊
