LOL!!! It isn't abnormal for us handbag addicts to think about getting new bags constantly...Sometimes I catch myself thinking about bags a majority of my day...lol...I really think I need help! hahahhahahaha
mizzmolly 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Last year I became Gucci addicted and bought a Marmont Camera Bag, which I used a lot last year. However, last month I went to grab it and noticed some damage on the leather on the sides. I immediately took it to the store and they took it to have it repaired. Last week they call me to pick it up a new one, due to the fact that they couldn't fix it. I remembered your Pochette Metis story and was very satisfied with their service. It's goos to know that Gucci is offering a service as goos as LV (in some cases at least). I think that Gucci is going on a good direction. 🥰😘
I chose the Neverfull for my first LV & am so glad I did! But I am a shoulder bag kind of girl. I find it very versatile & great for travel. (Clearly since I now have 3) I really think it’s all about personal preference. I agree about the “hunt”, same here! Lol
Yes!!! The hunt is the best part!!! I almost feel bad after unboxing and wearing. The next week I am broke and have nothing that I am searching for.
I know most people choose between the Speedy and Neverfull when looking to buy their first LV bag. I was doing the same just a few weeks ago. However, once I went into the store, I needed up hating the way the Speedy B looked on me! I purchased the Turenne MM and loved it at first sight when I finally got it in my hands. I say to look at other ones as well
Hi Bubby B! How has your Turenne held up? I am debating between a preloved of this bag or a Speedy B 25. TIA ❤️
I don't match my wallet to my handbag. I have many more handbags in many more colors than small leather goods and prefer spending my money on the handbags. I also prefer to change my handbags daily and don't want to change my SLGs any more than necessary. I love that I can quickly transfer my SLGs from one handbag to another and jaunt off for the day. xoxo
Going for Speedy B 25 because of the extra security. And Im at the stage of my life where Im doing my best to just carry my essentials. Love your inputs, as always
A speedy b 30 will be my first brand new louis. There are amazing totes out there from every brand within every price range but you can't beat the classic luggage look of a speedy. Plus Audrey Hepburn carried speedy.
The Speedy is one of my faves...a true classic and it's so versatile...can dress up and dress down. Love it!
I'm definitely a handbag addict. I'm always looking for the next bag.
Love you girl! When you spoke about the “hunt” for some reason it reminded me of Pokemon.. “Gotta catch em all” lol
As always, I really enjoyed your video. Do you feel people in the luxury community get desensitized to prices for these goods? I remember when not that long ago, I had to think really hard if I wanted to spend $300 on a Coach bag. Now, it's like "Oh, it is less than $2000, they are practically giving it away".
MilaN BIG FACTS!!! 🤣
Same!! 🙋🏻♀️
MilaN hahaha I recognize that. In 2004-2007 I was almost afraid to pay $200 for a Guess bag and since then purchased alot of Chanel and a few Hermes bags which are ofcourse far above the 200. I think it's a combination of me being a student back then and having less spending options and also honestly through the years influence from celebrities/social media (instagram and youtube especially) where it almost seems "normal" to purchase and own such expensice designer bags. Where in reality it is not really normal as the salaries of most people has not increased that much. But I really feel social media has an enormous impact on the way we see things nowadays. I know for me it has influenced me (I'm honest about it) but I also realize now that I don't want to be too influenced anymore and want to be more at peace with what I have instead of continuously wanting more and more expensive items. Don't get me wrong ofcourse it doesn't hurt to purchase sth now and then 😉. But I just try to be more mindful and realistic towards myself.
I just LOVE looking at handbags online! Never get tired of it! It's an addiction for sure!!
Minnie: If you want to skip ahead to question two...
Me: Um, no I want to hear everything you have to say 😂😂😂
You are so sweet!! Xoxoxo
My first LV was the Saumur 30. Today I got my classic Speedy 30 in DE. In love
I am always looking to see what bags other women are carrying. Do you notice other's bags, and does it ever influence what you buy?
Years ago I interviewed a young lady who we were looking to employ as my assistant. I immediately clocked her LV Speedy 35 in Damien Ebene that she was carrying. Me being a LV addict we immediately clicked and I offered her the job almost immediately 😂 she was also very qualified for job but the fact that we shared the same love for LV definitely worked in her favour! I didn’t even bother to interview anybody else, she was the one 🙈
I love the way you talk .. straight to the point , fast and clear enough... no nonsense which really bugs me whenever i watch unboxing videos
Thank you so much! You are so sweet :)) xoxoxo
“The hunt” is real. I think I do the same thing to. I think I purposely pick things that are “hard to get” just to search 😂
You are not crazy, you are honest and transparent 💕another great video!
I love ALL of your videos!! As a Chicago girl, I’m over here cracking up at your Little Mermaid moment in this video! “If you live somewhere with.....what’s it called?......snow” 😂😂 True Cali girl! Keep the vids coming! You have wealth of information.
That was hilarious! What’s that white stuff that falls from the sky? 😂 Freaking adorable!!!!
Hahaha!! Thank you so much Babe! Xoxoxo
That made me laugh out loud! I live in Michigan and winter never ends. 😂
Minnie! I'm planning to get my first DE NF MM this summer!! I'm so excitedddd!! and I cant wait to rock it non stop
This is the EXACT topic I've been thinking about this week. Thank you!
The original Vans shoe store was located on the corner of Walnut and Glassell near downtown Orange, CA. My mother used to make my dresses ... and you could go there and give then 1/4 yard of fabric and they would make you a pair of tennis shoes to match your outfit .. all for $1.75! They used to trace your foot and the shoes would fit you exactly right ... oh, those were the days!
Speedy 30 B. 5'6" and I think the bag looks great on taller women.
As far as interviews, I never take Monogram LV. I have take a Damier Ebene Speedy, an Antigona inspired dupe, and a TJMAXX bag. I also don't want people focusing on my bags or worse thinking I'm stuck up or super rich and thus not in need of the job.
I am just a handbag addict. I have often said I’m trying to get into purse peace but it doesn’t happen! I just love the feeling of a new bag I love the feeling of looking for a new bag I love bags! It’s a disease!
Jennifer Blue I feel the same way 😆
We should go to rehab lol 😂
Hi Minnie! The ultimate battle! As a self-proclaimed speedy queen it is hard to believe that my first LV bag was actually the neverfull! I Purchased it preowned And knew immediately that I wanted a speedy too! And now loads and loads of bags later those two bags in any print are my go to’s!
Here before the kids woke up, it’s going to be a great day! Thanks, Minnie 😘😂🥰💃
Thank you so much for watching Love!! Xoxoxo
🤣 I completely understand you about the bag hunt! Haha made me LOL! Hope you have a good week!! xxx
So excited to watch another Minks Monday! I just have to say before I even start that your hair is looking so great! I love that it's a bit lighter, it really freshens you up
Thank you so much Babe! You are so sweet! Xoxoxo
Another great MMQA! I feel like we have some of the same thought processes about purchasing handbags!
My first Louis Vuitton was the Speedy B 35 in Demier Ebene and I used it as a travel and shoulder bag. Now I'm purchasing in a few weeks the Speedy B 25 in the same canvas and the Nerverfull GM in Monogram in Paris! Fabulous video as always!
Aloha, I’m 5’2, I bought a Speedy 30 in DE as my first purchase, the DE Neverfull MM was my 2nd. You can’t go wrong with either! Great video Minnie and thanks for Mono Monday eye candy...Mahalo 🌺
Love all your videos and always look forward to Minks Mondays! I thought about the "gimmes" and I realized that for me, when thinking about adding a new handbag to my collection, the research, contemplation, decision-making exercises (pro-con lists, etc.) and everything else leading up to the actual purchase is really like a hobby! So when I've bitten the bullet and made the purchase, the idea of looking into another new handbag is just a continuation of the hobby. If you are a crafter and you finish a project, the very next thing you do is start planning your next project, right? I'm honestly happy that I live hours away from purveyors of luxury goods because I consider the in-store experience a big part of the process, and the distance allows me to extend the "hobby" portion of the process without over-extending my wallet!
Oh the Hunt! I know all about that. For years, and years. I think mine started when I was a manager of a dept store's fashion accessories dept. There are so many draws, and pinks, you know exactly what I'm saying I am sure. And we haven't even begun with the LV Monogram bags. I am still thinking there is one special one. I sold my last monogram bag to help pay for the summer move. Plus, don't need all this stuff anymore. Loved this! 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷💕
First time MM LV here !!! And I love love love it !!!
I got my first lux bag, LV NF in DE last year & have loved it so much! I wanted a Speedy B next, but I’ve loved the NF so much I’m going for it in the Azure canvas with the pink interior!💕 Can’t wait.
I own the Speedy B 25 in Damier Ebene and it is perfect. I absolutely love it. I mainly use it on the weekends to run errands and it does not disappoint. I have a bag organizer which I recommend because it is very spacious and items can get lost in it. The strap was uncomfortable in the beginning but now it is all good. It stands up in the rain and I don't even stress it when it rains.
Hi Minnie, great video! About the Graceful...I'd been searching the market for a spring/summer print handbag for the past year in white and it didn't even have to be from a luxury brand. BUT my hubby saw the Graceful MM in DA & pink lining and decided to purchase it for me. Now usually, I go for more of a structured handbag but I gotta tell ya, I really like this bag w/matching wallet. YES, I'm a matching SLG's girl! He did good but I'm searching for a purse organizer as we speak. Lol Have a wonderful blessed week lady🙏
Oh I had the exact dilemma!! What to buy as my first piece. I bought the Neverfull on my birthday last month but couldn't bring myself to use it because it was a shoulder carry and I'm a handsfree type of girl. Once I swapped it out for the speedy, I changed into it without hesitation ❣
I used to do the same thing. Always buy matching wallet etc, but now I like mixing and matching different colors/prints.
Ahhhh the question we all have! 😀 I love the speedy but for practical reasons... neverfull
I couldn’t help laughing and totally agreed to what you said about hunting and the urge to buy another one. Last Friday, I finally got the Pochette Métis monogram after waiting for so long and now I’m hunting for the Ysl Lou camera bag which is sold out in Selfridges. I’ve already put my name on the waiting list for a black either in black hardware or gold hw. Then, I quite like the navy color too as most of my handbags are in black but not sure whether the navy maybe too blue for my liking. Sorry for my rambling on.....lol and love watching all your videos.
My first LV was a Siena MM, that I got a few weeks ago. I love it! But just like you said right after I got it I started looking for the next one, and I’m thinking the neverfull MM in DA.
I own 12 pre-owned LVs, so far I haven't bought a new one. My favourites would be any of my Speedys. I have a 30 in monogram, a 30 in DE, an epi red 35 and a epi orange 25. Now that I come to think of it I LOVE the Orange epi 25. It always makes me smile.
Agreed on the hunt!! I got the Pochette Métis in monogram this weekend, finally...and now I want it in black 😬
So can relate about the excitement on getting another bag.
„What‘s it called? Snow!“ 😂 I love this!! You are such a gem✨ 😊
Haha! So much for snow here in So Cal, LOL! :))
Yes I totally agree the hunt is awesome 👏 I research the bag a lot and when I finally got it it was amazing 😊💗💗💗
When I began my collection, I also wanted to match the bag to the wallet but now I totally don’t do that anymore, in stead I want to have all different color ( especially pop up color) or different fashion house mixed. Awesome video ❤️
My first was the Eva in DE and I still love it! Of the 2 here I have the Speedy B 30. I’m 5’5 also. I usually use it as a shoulder bag carry, not cross body. Strap adjusts nicely. The opening on the 30 is MUCH better than on the 25. Wrestling things in and out of the 25 would have bugged me too much. I actually went into the store intending to purchase the 25 but as I was trying the bag out and putting my stuff in and out of it I realized how much it would bug me. I hope they re-design so that they extend the zipper on that bag the same as they have on the Speedy 25 in the empriente leather.
As for the Neverfull - I love totes - they’re my favorite style bags BUT consider whether you’re ok with no zipper or any kind of top closure. I realized I’m not. It’s not so much that I worry about theft in my day to day life, but I worry about things spilling out all over the car etc. There are so many great totes out there to choose from.
Finally, some psychology behind “the hunt” for the next bag! You put it into words so well n I felt crazy haha because I recently got rid of my givenchy mini bc the shape and look wasn’t a good fit for me, and I was OBSESSED with finding its replacement aka a black leather satchel lol. No one else understands except this lovely luxe community 😆
Oh my! I have so many preowned LV bags. Gotta say my neverfull gm in monogram and my turenne gm are my favorites. I still have them and I got great deals on both!
I like all my small leather goods to match. I have two sets consisting of a wallet, cosmetic case, sunglass case, small leather pouch for incidentals and agenda/calendar, one in aqua and one in pink. I like the look of everything inside my bag matching although they don't match the bag itself. Currently I'm using the aqua set but will probably change to the pink for summer.
I totally agree on you with the hunt! I've bought three bags this year, and I totally bought the third one because I thought I would never find it (it being the Lady Dior Medium Supple with grained calfskin and champagne gold hardware 😍).
I live in the Australian desert I wear my Damier ebene neverfull all year around . Most of the year it’s 40 degrees Celsius or 106 degree Fahrenheit. I just wear the print I love the most
Yes Vans! They are the best! Even my three year old granddaughter loves her Vans!
I always thought I wanted a speedy as my first bag and then fell in love with my Cousin’s Neverfull GM. I ended up getting the Neverfull in Monogram and honestly, I don’t get much use out of it. It’s a big bag, but I’m 5’10” as well and the size suits me more than the MM. Now I’m looking to get a Speedy B but I’m stuck between my favorite print, Monogram and the Ebene. Like you said, the Ebene is a bag you can wear without worrying about the weather, but man the Monogram is so classy. The struggle
For an interview I will carry Damier Ebene print if the folder with my resume fits on it. Regarding preloved LV I got my Classic Speedy 30 in DE from a local shop a few years ago and I love it to pieces.
I once unintentionally using my palm spring mini, 6 key rings holder, Helene wallet, toiletry15 altogether ( they are all in monogram print)at same time. When I opened my bag I feel dizzy 😵 and so overwhelmed. I was so afraid someone will see what’s in the my bag when I open it. so i tried not to be too matchy matchy ever since! 😂 thanks for another great video 💕
Hi Minnie, I've noticed you have not been rocking the pink Gucci bag for a while. Is it still a good addition to the collection or are you not as interested in it now?
Thanks for a great start to the day!!
Ive done quite a bit of interviewing and agree applicants should try to avoid luxury goods.
I felt the same way when I got my hands on the Girolata lol...Gotcha!🤣🤣🤣🤣
The handbag hunt thing is so true!
Agree! I’m 100% a tote girl, have all 3 NF’s & Speedy’s in all 3 prints, although the DE NF hurts my arm, & is also my rarely used NF mostly because I live in a very sunny & warm place & don’t get to use the DE NF as much & also the fact that it really digs into my arm & that limits my use because I can only use when I have a jacket or thick material top( which is almost never) in this hot climate!!♥️
I have a Gucci Dionysus and that is my ‘all weather’ bag, the canvas is holding up immaculate
I know what you mean about being afraid about losing out on the opportunity to own a great bag. When I decided to finally go for my Multicolore Blanc Speedy, there were only 3 or 4 available on Fashionphile and I literally just freaked! I thought, oh no! We're coming to the end of finding them! Lol! But, in the end I got one and am very satisfied with it. Now, on the topic of "the gimmies" I think sometimes it can be a matter of how you're using the next great bag. It may be for a completely different purpose than the one just purchased. For example, the Pochette Metis vs. a Neverfull. Completely different purposes for each. As far as body size/shape vs. bag size/shape...I have a completely different philosophy on that one. For me it's about how much drama do you want going on within your outfit. Do you want to juxtapose your look? Big coat and a tiny bag? Slender maxi dress and a Neverfull? Just depends on whether you want balance or drama. Great video as always. Yay for Vans! Old Skool is my favorite!
I agree with your comments on the DE straps. I can only use my DE in the winter for the same reason. LV could definitely design a more comfortable strap for the DE bags.
Absolutely! Even my treated leather on my neonoe isn’t as bad as the DE Neverfull straps. Maybe the DE Neverfull straps need to be wider?
Hi Minnie..I love the neverfull for the convenience of being able to use it on your shoulder.. but if you have the speedy bandolier then I would go for either..
My wallets and card holders ALWAYS match the bag!!!
Gm Minnie, love my neverfull! Great video, value your opinion, my favorite Louis Vuitton bag is the Trevi PM very chic, purchased preloved from FASHIONPHILE in excellent condition enjoy your day!❤️
I really get the constantly looking for the next bag. The research and the thrill of the chase is a major part of the fun of owning a luxury bag. I spent 3 years chasing an Oroton Odeion clutch in pink, just like the bright blue one that the Duchess of Cambridge, and I, have. The blue seems to be everywhere but the pink is as scarce as hen’s teeth. I stalked resale sites every morning and night for 3 years until finally one appeared and I got it. I love it to pieces and it’s the perfect summer holiday travelling clutch, but after I finally achieved the seemingly impossible I felt a bit of a hole in my life because I wasn’t focused on that intense hunt anymore. So believe me, I get it.
I own both!!! I bought my NF first in monogram and bought a Speedy 35 in DE! I love both! I do prefer DE!
I have a recall on one of my LV bags and now not sure what to get for replacement. Do you think the Clapton will hold it is resale value as good as the pochette meties? I am looking for something in the DE but nothing it getting my attention, what should I get please help
I have the azur croisette and I get sooooo many compliments on it every time I wear it. It’s my favorite LV so far!!! Highly recommend it. Has a ton of room for the size.
Ashleigh Strimback Hows the patina done over the time.. I just feel if patina gets really dark then would it look good against DA?
pooja gupta I put apple garde on it. It hasn’t patinated yet as I just got it in August.
Thanks 🙏
I tried on the LV Croisette in the Azur this weekend and LOVED it. That will be my next bag for sure, but the strap isn’t adjustable. I’m 5’1” and it was perfect on me but if you’re much taller, it may be too short to be worn crossbody.
Stephanie Marshall that was my first! I am 5’2” and love it!! In azur 😉
which lv top handle has the longest vs shortest drop length? ty
Thanks, Minnie! Love MMQ&A😘
Happy Monday Minnie! 😘
For the interview ?.... unless it is for a job in the fashion industry, I agree with Minnie.
Happy Friday Love!! Yes!!! Couldn't agree more!! :))
I really enjoyed watching your video, love how bubbly and funny you are 😊 sure laughed when you were looking for the word for that white stuff given up here where I am in 🇨🇦 i can’t see through my front window because there’s still so much of it...I’m trying to forget that word too! Loved the comments about the addiction, bang on. I just bought my first designer bag (Gucci Soho) 1 month ago and now it’s like I am possessed! I am on the hunt for my first Louis bag. I did buy a Louis SLG to go with my Gucci and I would definitely mix wallets vs bag..I am torn between LV Speedy B and NF....will keep on searching and see how long I can keep hunting before I go for the kill😂 Look forward to your next video and will watch your past episodes in the meantime 👍😉
I have love hate relationship with Gucci Marmont. I hate the heart! Hate it! But I love the camera bag and wallet on Chain. Both just have the GG stitched in back. That looks more classic to me and the leather wears well.
Love your videos! What do you think about wearing damier ebene with black outfits? I'm hoping to buy a damier ebene speedy b 25, but I mostly wear black and grey. Let me know what you think!!
Loving this Q&A 😙
I am buying a prelove Chanel small classic flap in Lambskin I have done so much looking around and found one a decent price it is a vintage one has the authentication card the box and duster and is in amazing shape but the price is out of my range when looking for this specific bag but all the ones that are in my price range have nun of the things or just the box am I being too picky or should I go for the one I found even tho it’s only a few more hundred dollars. Or keep looking and wait
I carry a black Kate Spade bag to interviews. It’s a nice professional contemporary bag, that holds everything I need.
I agree with you I love totes and the Damier ebene
What color organizer did you choose for your neverfull? Thanks!!
I'd 500% get the Speedy b over the Neverfull. My Neverfull is really useful, but I definitely don't feel it's really worth the money. It wears so badly on the corners and handles, whereas the speedy holds up really well, esp. in Damier Ebene.
I’m 5’8” and never carried my 25B because it sat too short on the longest setting Crossbody and it looked like I was carrying a toddlers bag. I ended up getting the 35B and even though the strap is the same length, because the bag is bigger it sits at the right length for Crossbody and looks proportionate to my frame. Even the 30 was too small. I thought it would look like luggage but it looks a normal sized bag on us taller gals.
I love your videos. Will you sale your Palm Springs. I just bought the neverfull mm and am in love with Louie now.
I literally just listed my speedy b 25 DE on eBay a second ago. That opening is just way too small for me! Going back to my Siena MM!
My first LV was the Neverfull GM in azur and I‘ve never regretted it. It’s just so practical and I wear it a lot. I got a Speedy B 30 in DE recently which I love as well. So tough decision 😅 My heart is still set on the Neverfull though amd onbthe azur in particular. I’m also 5‘10 and I find the GM and the 30 are perfect for my frame but the best thing to do is to try them on in store.
I am thinking of getting a LV azur for my first bag. I live in a warm climate. Is there a color transfer issue?
Minnie, I don’t want to skip ahead! lol I love your insight... and I already own both the NF and speedy 😂
You are too kind!! Thanks Babe :))
Interviews are tough! Unfortunately in my collection I really don’t have any bags that are either designer or luxury. So I carry what I have to the interviews. I remember once I carried a Prada tote to an interview and it was pretty large. It was large enough to fit my padfolio a couple of folders and the rest of my personal items. And a gentleman who was walking into the building alongside me made a comment and said “wow that’s a pretty big expensive bag”. He made me so self-conscious that it threw me off for the rest of the interview
Quick comment about the Graceful PM - I actually had one in Damier Ebene print, and I sold it quickly. The bag is quite soft and I was afraid I was going to see so much wear in the corners. The handle also wrinkled after I carried it for about two months. I’m personally not a fan. If you want to know more about it, I did feature it in one of my videos on why I sold some of my LV items.. for those of you thinking about buying this bag, I hope this helps!!
I used to match my slg’s to my bag, but trying to find a black slg in a black bag is not fun. Now I use slg’s to explore fun prints and colors!
Thank you for answering my question ❤️
my first lv was an Eva clutch in Damier azur! And lucky me.. it was discontinued a year later
Hey hey, neverfull 100% . I to this day use the neverfull everyday and in 4 seasons as I'm in Canada the DE all year round, I was hesitant to use DE in summer but screw it practicality all the way
That LV Croisette is a fabulous looking bag. So classic. Just my opinion, but that would be my choice over the Marmont.
