Hi Jennifer from Melbourne Australia!! Found your channel only yesterday. I have this exact Estrela as my everyday bag for 3 years and still love it so much. Don't have to worry about the rain and wears really well. Great choice!!
That is a lovely bag Jennifer! Congrats! Not something I’ve missed out on but I would love a Neverfull PM size bag with a functional Strap Drop Length!
Thank you so much for sharing and congrats 🥳 I definitely think you should keep the Estrela as it‘s a classic bag same as the Retiro. Really sad LV don’t make these bags anymore. I always eyed the Petillante Clutch in empreinte leather and two years ago I was finally able to find it pre-loved in the color combination I wanted (aurore) 🥰. Really happy about that. Even though I prefer to buy my bags new too, sometimes second hand is the way to go. Have a great weekend my dear and take care 💕😘
Thank you, Nastasia. I am definitely keeping the Estrela and have been enjoying it very much! I agree with you on the Petillante clutch, and am so happy you were able to find one in aurore. Empreinte leather is my favorite! I had the Lumineuse MM in ombre and wanted the Petillante to match, but was never able to find it. Take care and be well 💖
I wish I would have gotten the zippy compact wallet older version that opens all the way up! Such a great piece. Hope you and your family are doing well these days, take care!
Such a beautiful bag and I love the black leather trim! The first bag I really wanted was a Speedy, but the sales associate talked me out of it and into a Stresa PM. I still have that bag, but hardly ever used it. I know it was 2012 because I carried my bag within a duffel bag and over my head, out my kitchen widow during Hurricane Sandy. Had to save my Louie! BTW, love your sweater!
Oh my goodness, I can totally imagine saving my Louis's in a hurricane, too! That is quite an event you made it through. What a very scary time! The Stresa is a gorgeous bag, though, and I have often thought about getting one! :)
Congratulations. I purchased this new when it came out and it’s such a great bag. I’ve thought of parting ways over the years but, could never bring myself to do it. When I purchased it in SF, my SA told me the author Danielle Steele had recently purchased for travel. I was asked not to mention this but since my SA has long since retired, what the heck...lol. Enjoy!
When I purchased my Iena MM in the monogram I searched UA-cam videos for reviews and found yours (and subscribed :) )Your first review made me keep my bag but then your subsequent review about the tab curling made me second guess. So happy I didn’t return it as my tab has never curled and it’s my everyday bag. When I’m home I do rest the bag on a shelf where I can keep the tab pressed against the side so perhaps that’s why it’s never curled. It has really held up so well and I continue to get compliments on it. The front pocket with the zip is a game changer!
Hi Julie! I'm glad you didn't return your bag, too. I wish I would have kept mine...since the design is wonderful and I would have been able to live with a bit of curling, I suppose.
I am not a fan of LV canvas bags but I do like this one. I like it so much better than the Neverfull. At the moment the one that got away for me is a medium Diorever in beige. The are lots of Diorevers out there in the preloved market but I have been looking for about two years now and still haven’t seen a medium in beige. I know it’s only a matter of time because I have stalked a few hard to find bags in the past and I have always found them, although sometimes it has taken years. But that’s part of the fun. The thrill of the chase.
Is this the shade of beige you are looking for?www.vestiairecollective.com/women-bags/handbags/dior/beige-leather-diorever-dior-handbag-13956664.shtml?setLocale=6.en.USD&forceNoRedirect=1&authfee=false&gclid=Cj0KCQiA3smABhCjARIsAKtrg6LCfs44re1Z9JiV0OXA6LIUYPpepUovHzhbQW6Dvb_-yeXxY4noRZAaAtQHEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds Such a beautiful bag! I hope you find your perfect one soon!
Yes, that’s the colour but not the right size.. It’s so beautiful. I hadn’t looked at Vestiaire recently. I will have to do so. more often. Thanks for your help.
Gorgeous bag! Congratulations!! I actually had been looking for the LV Atlantis PM. A runway piece from 2016. Apparently only 250 made. Finally found one on Fashionphile too!!! Just received today. Love it.
Congratulations!!! I love it and completely remember that bag b/c I wanted it as a work bag back in 2015ish. Still as beautiful as I remember. ENOY IT!!! :-)
I am so sad that I never got an Iena! I could never snag one and I think that it must be discontinued because I can't find it anywhere! 😱 Do you know if the Iena is gone for good? Your bag is beautiful Jennifer, I'm so happy that you were able to find one. It looks like it is in pristine condition. Enjoy using it, even though we don't go anywhere! I am the same with all of my glasses. Take care, Cathy xo
At this point, I only see the Azur Iena pictured on the US LV website. I have seen a few Iena's on the preloved market in excellent condition in the ebene print. I really don't know for sure if it will be gone for good, or coming back...but if you see one, grab it! :)
Hello! What a beautiful bag! My bag that I let get away was the Louis Vuitton Stressa. I loved that bag but unfortunately I never got it. So happy you got your bag!
Its a beautiful bag! I love mine, also purchased on Fashionphile, in excellent condition. I searched for it for about 18 months & have had it for about 18 months now. One of my favorites. I wear mine with a monogram adjustable noir bandolier.
I have purchased from Fashionphile since 2014 and even though they have a great collection and are very reputable they have changed a lot. They used to have great deals on SLGs and and bags and now they are ridiculous with some of their pricing. They ask more than retail for less than perfect bags and if you are just patient you can get it brand new for less than what they want for it. I will still buy from them but only when the price is right. I love your bag, thanks for sharing and sorry about the rant.
Congrats on your new bag. Hoping you could sell your Lena MM, let me know? Was planning to buy from LV store than it was discontinued. I saw could bags on fashionphile, but it's missing lock & keys or some don't come w/ dust bag.
Yay! Congrats on finding this bag. It’s great when items we are looking for like this, come along 💞 - also, my daughter loves the phrase on the fashionphile file lol. She’s 9. 😅
Thank you, Elaine. I missed making videos...just got incredibly busy with lots of things. Callan, my daughter, is still having complications and not back to normal. She seems to have a few more better days lately, so we have lots of hope she will bounce back in time. Thank you for asking. It has been very rough. XO
I had it in the vachetta n sold it. It was an armpit hazard....and I thought it was heavy. Very pretty but I just couldn’t keep it. It’s way better in the black!
My favorite was always the Tivoli GM, but the more I see your Iena videos, the more I want that one instead!! LOL The Neverfull has never been quite right for my taste, but the Iena looks perfect.
Are you keeping your iena mm? The dimensions of this are exactly the same as the Iena 😃 I own an Iena and it’s a perfect everyday bag but not great as a work bag. Straps too short for me.
Lovely and super practical bag-- Congratulations!!! I'm on the look out for a Mulberry at this point...Do you own one Jen? If so, could you do a review? Thanks!
Very nice bag! Happy for you 🤗 💕I’m always scared to get from consignment stores in line as they may be fake because I don’t know how to get it authenticated here.
Beautiful bag. Congratulations Jennifer!!! Crazy question; what lipstick are you wearing here? (I’m thinking MAC Modesty?) It really brightens up your beautiful face🥰🥰 Speaking of lippies, I purchased NARS Roseland, and I love it! I could only find it on eBay though. Edit: should have watched further, before commenting. The lipstick is your Pat McGrath. It looks amazing on you!
Me too! I tried calling 2 LV stores that had the Neverfull in stock around Christmas time a couple years ago but they would not ship it to Hawaii. So I got the last Speedy Karakoram in Hawaii instead.
@@theresa8083 it was actually the first time I started shopping luxury and didn’t understand how it worked. It was available online but I didn’t get it then. Of course, now I am hooked! I have all 3 Neverfulls and if I ever find a Karakoram in good condition for a good price, I may get it! I did see a Speedy in excellent condition on Fashionphile but it was still too much!!
Best for the environment to get preloved❗️ thanks 🙏🏻 (What that meant- in case someone doesn’t understand what I mean- Big companies don’t have to WRECK THE EARTH MORE GETTING Sources TO MAKE THEIR PRODUCTS.)
Hi Jennifer from Melbourne Australia!! Found your channel only yesterday.

Wonderful! I'm so glad to hear that you love yours. Thank you!
Would love to see an updated LV handbag collection:)👜
Good to see you again. The Iena & Neverfull are my favorite bags. I purchased the Iena (azure) after watching your video. Thanks for the great videos.
A very beautiful bag Jennifer.......good seeing a vlog from you today....enjoy your beautiful new bag!!! Hooray!!
Beautiful bag Jennifer. 😃 I hope Callan just feels better and better every day!! Recovery time always feels so much slower than it actually is!! 🙏😃❤️
Congratulations Jen, what a lovely find x
It’s a gem! Love the black trim. It obviously brings you joy. Congrats!
Hope your daughter has recovered.
Happy New Year.
Gorgeous bag🤩 Glad you finally found it and it's perfect. Enjoy 💕
It’s so pretty!! Congratulations!
Beautiful bag! Enjoy your new purchase. 🤩🤩
Love your plum sweater, very pretty on you! And that new handbag is 😍🙌🏼 I love the look of monogram with black!
That is a great bag! Looks good on you.
Love it! Congratulations. FASHIONPHILE is awesome
That is a lovely bag Jennifer! Congrats! Not something I’ve missed out on but I would love a Neverfull PM size bag with a functional Strap Drop Length!
Oh, interesting.... a Neverful PM with a functional strap drop! I had trouble with the Neverful PM, too. Just didn't work well for me.
Nice bag 💼 🤩 I do like the color combo even though the ebene is my favorite design pattern. So happy for you 🤩
awesome find!! congratulations 🎉 love the black too 😊

It’s beautiful! What a great find! I’m so happy for you! I love Fashionphile too🥰❤️🤩
I’m still curios about fashionfile a bit worried because I heard some weird stuff going on how was your shopping experience?
@@ZonnaLoves My experience with Fashionphile has been positive. However I mostly sell authentic handbags to them, and have purchased a few.
Oh my gosh this is that bag for me, too! My superintendent at my old school had it and I'd always look at it and wish I had it! It's beautiful!
I love your new bag! It looks great on you and I see why you will love it!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful bag. Enjoy!
Beautiful bag, enjoy using her!🌸
Thank you, I will
I wish I would have gotten the zippy compact wallet older version that opens all the way up! Such a great piece. Hope you and your family are doing well these days, take care!
Love the bag. Looks great on you. Enjoy!
You did good! It’s a stunning bag! Congratulations 🎉
Thank you! I"m loving it :)
I wish they would bring back the LV zippy compact wallet the one that opens up like a book 😩🙏🏼
I do too!!!! I love that wallet. :)
Same!
Same here!
Yesss I agree! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Oh yes...that was awesome...I still have mine..it's resting in my drawer but I love love loved it....
Congrats on your new bag, it’s gorgeous!
Thank you so much!!
Love that bag!

Beautiful Jennifer, I really miss old school LV! I love the mono with black. I just purchased the Odeon MM (noir).
Thank you! The Odeon MM noir is adorable! Looks like such a useful bag!
@@JustJennifer it is very functional. I do love it!
I have the Tournelle MM in Noir very similar to the Estrella. Congratulations on your new beauty! 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you! Yes, the Tournelle MM does remind me of the Estrela MM!
I own this bag in the same color. You wont be disappointed. It is one of my favs
That's great to know!! :)
So good to see you again.. Miss your DITL and Gracie ...
I love the black on monogram. Very classy. TFS
Gorgeous bag! Congratulations!! I actually had been looking for the LV Atlantis PM. A runway piece from 2016. Apparently only 250 made. Finally found one on Fashionphile too!!! Just received today. Love it.
I am amazed you were able to find an Atlantis PM! Such a stunner! Congratulations and enjoy!!
Glad to see you today. I hope your daughter is feeling well.
The Graceful PM would be my LV dream bag!!! 💜💜❤️❤️
I love this in black and love that it has a crossbody strap
I am loving the crossbody strap on this bag! And I'm happy that I can use it on other bags, as well!
So glad you got the one you want.
Beautiful bag!
Congratulations!!! I love it and completely remember that bag b/c I wanted it as a work bag back in 2015ish. Still as beautiful as I remember. ENOY IT!!! :-)

Hello! What a beautiful bag! My bag that I let get away was the Louis Vuitton Stressa. I loved that bag but unfortunately I never got it. So happy you got your bag!
It'd be really cool to see you compare this bag and your other older ones against new Louis Vuitton ones for quality!
Its a beautiful bag! I love mine, also purchased on Fashionphile, in excellent condition. I searched for it for about 18 months & have had it for about 18 months now. One of my favorites. I wear mine with a monogram adjustable noir bandolier.

That's a beautiful bag! What a great find. I love that it has feet.
I love it, too. It just "speaks to me".

I bought mine from fashionphile a couple of years ago and I love it. I use it all the time and the perfect alternative to a neverful
I'm happy to hear you love yours! Yay!!
❤️your sweater color❤️
Congrats on your new bag. Hoping you could sell your Lena MM, let me know? Was planning to buy from LV store than it was discontinued. I saw could bags on fashionphile, but it's missing lock & keys or some don't come w/ dust bag.
That bag would be great for travel, when we're able to travel again!
I totally agree I miss traveling 😱
Yay! Congrats on finding this bag. It’s great when items we are looking for like this, come along 💞
- also, my daughter loves the phrase on the fashionphile file lol. She’s 9. 😅
Love the bag,congrats for finding it.Glad you are on,l missed you and how is your daughter doing?
Thank you, Elaine. I missed making videos...just got incredibly busy with lots of things. Callan, my daughter, is still having complications and not back to normal. She seems to have a few more better days lately, so we have lots of hope she will bounce back in time. Thank you for asking. It has been very rough. XO
I love it! ❤️
Congrats it's a beautiful 🛍️ bag
Hi, how do you sanitize your pre loved bags, especially during covid?
I remember that bag! Love it! It's a Totally/Iena perfection type bag. lol Enjoy!
Gorgeous bag! Can you share where your sweater is from?
Thank you! It is from LOFT.
Hi! How is this bag working out for you?
I had it in the vachetta n sold it. It was an armpit hazard....and I thought it was heavy. Very pretty but I just couldn’t keep it.
It’s way better in the black!
An armpit hazard?? Oh dear, we can't have that! I hope my armpits can manage. :)
Love your new Estrela. The LV bag that 'got away' for me was the Galliera..
My favorite was always the Tivoli GM, but the more I see your Iena videos, the more I want that one instead!! LOL The Neverfull has never been quite right for my taste, but the Iena looks perfect.
Good choice!
Great bag love the strap you can use on the Pouchette bags to wear crossbody. I like the Brea bag.
Oh wow YES! I didn't even think about using the strap on other bags....!!! Brilliant.
Are you keeping your iena mm? The dimensions of this are exactly the same as the Iena 😃 I own an Iena and it’s a perfect everyday bag but not great as a work bag. Straps too short for me.
Yes. I find this to be the perfect tote size and plan to keep both.
Lovely and super practical bag-- Congratulations!!! I'm on the look out for a Mulberry at this point...Do you own one Jen? If so, could you do a review? Thanks!
that is a beautiful ❤️ bag
That is really nice.
Very nice bag! Happy for you 🤗 💕I’m always scared to get from consignment stores in line as they may be fake because I don’t know how to get it authenticated here.
What’s not to love😃👍🏻. Has this bag ever been carried?
Nice bag. I would still use my organizer tho. By the way you look very rejuvenated and healthy
Beautiful bag. Congratulations Jennifer!!! Crazy question; what lipstick are you wearing here? (I’m thinking MAC Modesty?) It really brightens up your beautiful face🥰🥰 Speaking of lippies, I purchased NARS Roseland, and I love it! I could only find it on eBay though.

I'd love to know how much the bag weighs all stocked up. I have a shoulder issue and have such a problem with heavy bags
I always like your reviews! It looks like it’s in excellent condition can you share what it cost ? Looking at the one with red trim.
Thank you! I paid $1550 for this one and am very pleased with it! I hope you are able to find a wonderful one in red 😍
LV ❤❤❤
Love it!
It’s like when you can’t get your hands on it; you start seeing it the most.
I wanted the Karakoram Neverfull. Now it’s just too expensive in resale market.
Me too! I tried calling 2 LV stores that had the Neverfull in stock around Christmas time a couple years ago but they would not ship it to Hawaii. So I got the last Speedy Karakoram in Hawaii instead.

Congratulations jennifer! beautiful bag! I love that it has feet!
