    How pretty is this shade of Pink!? It's called "light rose"

      I think the so-called authentic products cannot explain anything. The real authentic products are what you have in your heart. The bags bought on *regbags* have the same quality as the authentic products, and the prices are cheap and the after-sales service is guaranteed. When you start to become confident, you will care about these external authentic products.

    I love your luxury bag "rehabs". I could watch them all day long. You could one day start a business in repairing luxury bags, which is quite lucrative. This was another great result!

      Before watching your video, I was discussing handbags with a friend. I was criticizing BV's design, saying it was bad and expensive. But I like *hotdups* . I bought the same one. Everyone said it was not good. Actually, I think it is OK. I am used to it. I am very happy with your explanation. It is the first time I heard someone criticize their design. It is a very real thought.

    Hi Rachel, I’ve watched a couple of your videos and I you’ve shared that you film the POV with Meta glasses - do you just straight crop the portrait footage to landscape? I bought some Meta glasses for UA-cam and I just find the image pretty grainy when I crop it, even if I try and upscale it. Would love to know what you do with your footage as it looks great! Thanks 🙏 😊

      I do just crop the image. I use wondershare filmora to edit. I edit the project in 29 fps and the glasses record in 50fps so I've yet to have grainy images. Remember while you're recording that you'll be cropping so focus on just that one spot and pull your hair back

    So...aren't there cases where distressed leather makes a statement? Like what about updating hardware piping and Monogram leather but leaving distressed pink? I just paid (sale) retail for a distressed leather jacket at Nordstrom that looks just like that but in black. I guess it would just be a personal preference to leave it or not. I'm just wondering if it could be a cool aesthetic. Or if leaving it distressed doesn't pull off a look.
