I'm so glad you mentioned the coffee table books! That's one that was a big first step purchase for me. And I agree the packaging is a beautiful touch BUT if you are just in it for the book, you can even find those at places like TJMaxx! I picked up a LV book from TJMaxx for $50!
ahhh bags...I wanted the LV Neverful MM until I watched my friends fail, get sent for 6 months to France for repair only to have it returned in the same condition. After that I said No LV. I love my boutique Coach bags as well as some of the outlet versions. They are much easier on my wallet and none have failed to date. Just purchased a Brahmin and camt wait to receive it...I love bags at $500 or less
All great suggestions! I think asking yourself what you plan to do the most with your luxury bag helps determine if you want something more practical or more unusual. Someone who goes to a lot of formal events or social events might get more joy from a bag that is less practical.
Autumn!! Just when I think your videos cannot get any better I am proven wrong! Absolutely knocked it out of the park! Loved this video! the Fendi nano has been on my list for a long time! Love her!
I love Donney and Bourke. I do have several Coach bags as well and they hold up. My Donney and Bourke bags are very affordable ,come in a variety of colors and are on sale a lot. I have two LVs. One new and one preloved. I also have matching wallets. They are very nice. I got burned from The Real Real. The item condition was not as described and I had to contact the Better Business Bureau to get a refund.
Autumn, thank you for sharing such practical advice on starting with luxury goods on a budget! Your video not only provides accessible options for those of us mindful of our spending but also broadens our understanding of what luxury can mean beyond top-tier brands. Your discussion on balancing dreams with reality is especially enlightening-it really helped me reconsider my purchasing decisions. Looking forward to more insightful content like this!
Great information, as always! My first purchase was an LV cle. I still use it! Fabulously versatile. LV books are published by Assouline, so they are really first class! Thank you for the video!
Gosh Autumn! In the photos did it show the base being bent and wonky? That's crazy someone would pack your bag in a box too small. It's like they are too lazy to walk and grab a larger one. Uugh Gosh I JUST bought a LV Empreinte Speedy 25 2013 from TRR marked aa "good" although the pics look VERY good. I went off the pics. It stated moderate splitting at handles however TRR didn't even take pics of the handles showing any issues. I went for it thinking they meant glazing chips or peeling which isn't a huge issue as long as it's not bad or sticky. They mentioned NOTHING about melting or stinkiness . I don't know why they don't take pics of the issues they put in the description. My bag arrives Wed. Hope it's as beautiful as it is in the photos as the leather looks beautiful along with the structure. I didn't buy the insurance either😮
I would suggest save for a bag. I wanted a LV Medium Neverful. Moved on to LV wallet. Then had to have a LV Neverful in the GM size. Then I move on and save.

I love when you switch out your bags in the background so we can see different ones!
Sunglasses are a great entry category aswell 😎
Great point! I didn't think about that. :)
Funny you say that Portland is a luxury to some. I used to be obsessed with LV and Gucci now I’m a Portland leather gal, I have you to thank for that!
Autumn, you are really rocking that green sweater!
Thank you. :)
Ooh that peekaboo is cute

Your advice is so detailed and vivid! I really appreciate it.☺
Thank you. :)
Excellent video. Hugely helpful for those of us who may need to be reminded that a handbag is not the only way to get into luxury items.
I love Donney and Bourke. I do have several Coach bags as well and they hold up. My Donney and Bourke bags are very affordable ,come in a variety of colors and are on sale a lot. I have two LVs.

Great video and information! Love the green sweater
Great tips and love your green sweater 😊💚
Really enjoyed this video 🤗
TY! Good advice. My favorite bags are the ones I tend to wear the least. Just looking at them makes me happy! :)
Thanks!
Thank you. :)
The small zip card case will hold a. Bath and Body hand sanitizer
Great video as always!
Is green your favourite colour? Your filming area is very pretty
Thank you. :) Yes, green is one of my favorite colors.

The cles is a fabulous piece. Assouline is great. We had an Assouline store in a new shopping center (where Hermes was) in Houston. Nifty place.
I have an LV monogram eclipse card case that I love and has been flawless for over 10 years... All the rest is solid advice.
Thanks for sharing that you do like yours. :)
this was the most helpful video i have seen on getting into luxury goods! Thanks so much!
Good to know. Thank you. :)

The Neverfull gm is a great piece. I use it more than my mm's.

I can't figure out how to get to my home page to see your updates? I tried the help menu. I do want to find a mini Fendi!!

My entire Chanel collection is fragrance only.
I’m not a Portland leather fan. It’s unlined and in my opinion better companies do it better.
