Okay, officially obsessed with the Kirigami 🤣
I still love my mini pochette and use it daily but I love how you get 3 multi size pouches for the price of one mini pochette. That’s just crazy. I need to get this before LV increases the price.
I am thinking of getting my mom a set before the price increase !
I use my mini pouchette every day as my wallet. I LOVE that it zips closed and I can hang it on my arm by the chain as I check out at stores. I wish it fit my phone 😢 I’m so on the fence about the kirigami set because I want the pouchette accessiore but can’t bring myself to spend $1,300 on it!
I feel the same way😭.
I use all of the kirigami pieces in so many different ways and very often! I can fit an entire first aid kit in the mini one when i use it for travel/ day out- alcohol pads, hydrocortisone creams, burn cream, mini bandage, toilette wipes, Tylenol, sanitizer, chapstick, liquid skin and breath mints. The secret is buying small packaged goods and they really fit in the little pouch. I use the big one to carry my iPad or with an insert to carry a lot of random stuff when I need to carry items for myself and husband. I use the middle pouch for too many uses to describe. I cannot get enough of this set it is hands down the best value ever!
Fun fact, the Kirigami set was my first in store LV purchase years ago (back when it retailed about 660)... I thought it was the best value starter piece: three versatile slgs in one. I still stand by that. If I had to choose between the mini pochette and the kirigami in 2022, I would hands down choose the kirigami.
I have the Kirigami set and love it! Have a couple inserts for both the medium and large. I love the versatility they give me and I find that when I use an insert, it helps my items stay in place and not get so jumbled.
Yes! Great for staying organized! 👌
I got the Kirigami set from the Spring in the City Collection and I didn’t expect to enjoy these pochettes so much. I kept on telling my husband that if I bought them before the Cosmetic Pouch and Porte Monnaie Jour, I wouldn’t need to get those two pieces anymore. ☺️
Great comparison bi have had mini Pochettes for many years and just got the kiragami pouches. They are a great value!
I may need to grab the kirigami this month. I have the mini pouch and I love it 😍.
I sold my mini pouchette and brought the kirigami. I used the small as my cash/card holder and created insert with D ring and attached my car key..medium size is my catch all..and I've created insert for large size and turn it into crossbody. I love it 🥰
I have watched this SEVERAL times and I watched it again this morning, knowing I was going today for an appointment with my CA. I still couldn’t decide so I ended up getting both! But I’m in love with both and they’re both made in France! ❤ Yay! 😂
You did?!! 🤭 Wow, good for you! Enjoy both!! 💕
I recently bought the Kirigami because I wanted a card holder that closed for the rare times I had a bit of cash. I figured for a bit extra I’d then get a clutch and a catch all so it was an easy decision. I LOVE IT. I use the large one as a clutch when I’m popping into the shop or brunch, and the small one as a cardholder. The mid one is a catch all in my large handbags. No regrets and with the price of the mini pochette - there’s no way I could justify it. Very happy with my Kirigami and I’m obsessed with the rose ballerine in the large one. 😍
Yay!! Love that you’re enjoying all 3!
Love your videos❤ Kirigami is the way to go! I love the mini pouchette too! Ugh!
Love the nail colors!
Another great comparison video. Love the mini pochette, but I think the Kirigami set is so much better value, I just love to carry some pieces like a clutch and love how you turned the large one into a bag. Thank you for your video🌸💕
Thank you! Admittedly I’ve not used the large Kirigami pouch - at all 😬 but I love the look of it so much! It’s the smallest pouch though that’s my favorite and I’ve been using it nonstop daily ever since buying the set. 😊
Im so happy you made this comparison video because I use my kiragami mini envelope for my cards and I’m so excited I finally bit the bullet and am getting my insert to use my Kiragami as a purse!!! I actually owned the mini pochette accessoire last year but I ultimately sold it ever since and haven’t looked back, I rarely used it and actually sold for almost twice as much when it was hard to get last year!! I sold it for around $650 on poshmark and it’s crazy how this thing is literally doubled in price in a year! Yeah not worth it in my opinion and I’m so so in love with my Kiragami again 🥰🥰🥰
Aww sounds like the Kirigami is perfect for you!! 👌
Thank you, for the comparison. It's really helpful.
I’m glad you found it to be helpful!
So true babe honestly I thought the same thing it definitely is the detail in the mini Pochette
I bought the mini pochette because of YOU!! 😂 I watched your old video over and over and was sucked in to the LV vortex. 🤪
I have the kirigami set and so far have only used the middle sized pouch as a catch all. I do plan to use the larger as a clutch, and will keep the smaller as a card holder replacement once my other cardholders need replacing. I go back and forth on whether to purchase the mini pochette , I regret not getting one sooner but it’s hard to pay that price. However it is a great piece to have as a catch all, and can also be worn as a mini bag, so I keep that one on my wishlist.
The Kirigami set is gorgeous (definitely good value too), but I still have a huge soft spot for the Ebene Noir print. Also, I wish Goyard would come out with a similar 3-piece set to the Kirigami b/c I love Goyard’s Y print more than LV’s monogram one.
I have the mini pochette in monogram and Damier Ebene. Love them.. one of my fav pieces from LV. I got these when they were $300+ and $400+. I don’t know if I will at $745 though. But if I have to choose between this and the kiragami, paying the same price, I still think I will get the mini pochette.
Still can’t believe how much the mini pochette has gone up in price. Definitely agree the Kiragami is a better deal. Never realized the 2 are now the same price, astonishing. TFS these series of videos. ❤️❤️
Right? It’s pretty crazy they’re priced the same! I wonder what will happen in the next price increase… 🤔
I ABSOLUTELY think the Kirigami set is a better bang for your buck! It’s so nice that you get all three of those bags for the same price as the mini Pochette. 🙌🏽🙌🏽☺️
I love my kirigami pochette set! I used the medium for the first time recently, to hold two passports for our trip to London. Haven’t used the large cos I’m waiting on the conversion kit, but I’m gonna use it as soon as it comes, with the little one as a card holder! I think it’s really good value compared to other LV items. Can’t see myself getting the mini pochette, would rather put it towards a larger item.
This was a great comparison video. I love my mini pochette but I agree that the Kirigami set is a better value. Thank you for sharing!
It’s hard to think of “value” when we think LV 😂 but had to point out that these are the same price! Thank you for watching!
I love my Kirigami. I thought I would use
My large one the most but I was wrong and use the small kirigami the most 😆 I agree with your points between the two. TFS 💕
Yes!! Love love love the small Kirigami so much! It’s my fave.
I love the mini pouchette , and I have 3 of them. I rotate them in different purses. However, the LV nesting set is gorgeous too. I would definitely love one in my collection
The fact that they nest within each other 💕
I ordered the kiragami set after your review. Also have the pochette that I use everyday. Have not yet used the kiragami set yet but love it.
Try using the smallest pouch as a mini wallet. I’ve been using it nonstop every day!!
Kirigami is multifunctional compare to mini pochette, I had just gotten my mini before the price increase so i feel good about it, but now I want to get the kirigami to use for my neverfull bag or my totes as an organizer.
I have the kirigami by the pool set and absolutely love it. I actually use the smaller one everyday, as a wallet, as it can fit my swiss card nicely. But I've never thought of using the size in the middle as a substitute for the mini pochette. Undoubtedly cost benefit. =)
Agree! The smallest one is PERFECT as a mini wallet! Not as bulky as true wallets and not as thin as cardholders! 👏
Team mini pochette here!
Couldn’t deal with how easily the inner leather of the kirigami creases and folds (especially if you try to do the insert and chain) - returned it
I never considered buying the Kirigami set until now. thank you!
You’re so welcome! I think a lot of people pass over the Kirigami set but given all the price increases, it’s quite a good value compared to some of the other LV items!
I love my mini pochette and bought it when it was in the $300s range . It's my unicorn piece that I use on and off depending on which bags I carry . . . It definitely was a piece that took me months to track down and get in the print that I wanted . . . .Definitely the kirigami over the mini pochette in regards to functionality and pricing. My last purchase was the kirigami monogram and moved on to other luxury brands . I walked into LV the other day, was greeted and nobody approached me for 30 minutes while others that came in after me were greeted and helped immediately. My last purchase was ordered online and since then I have stayed away from the brand.
Thanks for always sharing and giving us alternatives to consider . Love your videos .
Oh wow, I don’t like hearing about poor service. How nice would it have been if they greeted you as soon as you walked in. All it takes a smile and a hello. Well, I’m glad you’re able to find what you want online or with other brands!
@@hellocatwalkcity Yes ma'am ! I was happy to wait for help but nobody came up to me . I left and went to YSL instead . BUT BEST PURCHASE from LV is the kirigami !
Love this comparison I purchased the mini pochette for under 400 dollars and I wouldn't pay that today. I would much rather get the kiaragmi set. Thinking of getting it before the next price increase.
The Kirigami set is such a good value relative to other smaller items from LV. I decided to get it before they do annoooother price increase. Cause it's 3 items for
I use my mini pochette every day but I am now a fan of the Kirigami. Very surprised how much fits in the pouches. Not sure if I would purchase because I am taking a step back from LV due to the prices.
Picked up the kirigami set on my trip to paris in june, but still have not used them, maybe on our upcoming trip, takes me a while to start rotating my new pieces 😉
I know what you mean. Sometimes it takes time to rotate new pieces in. I’m happy to report that I’ve been using my smallest size Kirigami pouch every single day since purchasing the set! It’s perfect as a mini wallet. I suggest you try it! 😊
Thanks for sharing
I love the small and medium, but I have no idea what I would do with the larger one. Still definitely a better deal than the mini pouchette.
I understand!!
I have both…but quality for the mini pochette is better as for the kiragami the corner/lining/rubbing outside peels off..
I never knew the kirigami could pack that much!
Me neither!! 😃
Thanks for the video! Still undecided tho. Can I ask why you haven’t used the large piece as a bag? I have a good collection but not in LV. Most of my collection is Hermes, chanel and YSL since I like leather. But going for a tropical trip and would just prefer to bring canvas pieces. So trying to get a few items before hand. Looking for a chanel WOC vibe in LV or Gucci, but I don’t like any of the WOCs in those fashion houses - other than the Gucci horsebit that you just got but still has leather parts so I worry for the humidity. So I also need a new catch all, hence the Kirigami. Bang for the buck. But why didn’t you use it as a bag? Is it difficult or not actually all that functional? Thanks
I hesitated to buy the Kiragami set because I wasn’t sure how the wear and tear would be for daily use. And I am more partial to the Damier print than the monogram, but this is tempting with another price increase looming.
I used small and medium everyday and large at least once a week for a year and there's no sign of wear and tear it's worth the money 🥰
As much as I would like to have a mini Pochette🥺. I was thinking of purchasing a new LV passport holder, due to gifting my husband mine, and the Kirigami set will be perfect for my passport and my daughter, especially while here in Japan. In yen both of these converted to US dollars is $634.24 based on the yen today. The yen rate can either rise or fall depending. I will be purchasing soon a Kirigami set, not sure which one yet.
I love my MP, but I would definitely not buy it at the current price! The Kirigami is definitely the better deal and has not been affected by any of the price increases. I've just never been able to pull the trigger on it because I also wouldn't know what to do with the largest pouch!
Price hike hasn’t happened yet in 2024 I think Il buy the set this week because I love the small card case. Thanks for sharing. Lv holds its value. You can use and love it and resell get most of your money back. Great review 👍
Glad the review helped make your decision! I agree, LV is one of those brands where you can usually make your money back if you ever decide to resell, especially on these classic canvas pieces.
@@hellocatwalkcity did all 3 pieces come in 1 dust bag or 3? Thanks for reply 😊
Kirigami hands down
It is not at all about the craftsmanship of why the mini pochette is the same price. It’s because their prices increase every year and the mini pochette is such a highly coveted item and they do this to drive up even more demand and sales. Great review! 🌺
I use my mini pochette every day and in most of my bags. I remember when I started watching your channel you brought a Mini pochette for your daughter to have when she gets bigger. You mentioned then that these would probably increase in price, and they have. The other set is nice, but I'm team mini pochette!
Oh my gosh! You remember that! I predicted in that video that the price of the mini pochette would hit $1k by the time my daughter is a teenager and it’s looking like that’s exactly what’s about to happen! What in the world… 🤣
Thank you for sharing! If you don't mind me asking, what color is your Clic braclet? I was looking on their site and none of the colors seemed to match. Thank you!
The color is called “makeup” and it has been discontinued. I bought it years ago in Paris and have never seen the same color ever since. 😭
I'd still pick the MPA any day despite the price! The kirigami's edges will curl up with time and look ugly after a few years. Take a look at preloved LV wallets and you will know what I mean...
It’s just that it looks so much like envelope
While the Kirigami wins the value for money contest I doubt that I would use the 3 items, I think the value rests with the pieces you use daily, I have a mini pochette and love it (price now is absurd I know, if I didn't own it I'd still buy it). I wouldn't use the small or medium Kirigami every day and definitely not the large, it's nice but for me it's a tempting piece just because it's convenient in terms of price per item rather than really having a place and use in my collection.
100% agree! Love the way you said that - “value rests with the pieces you use daily.” To each our own! 😉
You covered all bases they should sponsor u doll (ik I don’t think they do that)
I think LV mini pochette is so on hype because of social media. It is obviously that Kirigami set is much more practical! Cardholder, passport holder and cosmetic pouch/clutch- you get all of these for the same price!
I just got the kirigami set (my first LV purchase) and was so disappointed 🙁. I had to return because the large pouch was defective. One side was longer than the other and did not lay flat when closed (bulged a lot). And was poorly stitched at on corner. I was really surprised at the poor quality given how expensive it is. Great video btw.
Oh no 🙈 😣 that’s not good
Hello Hannah. Please help. I’m so upset. I bought the kirigami set like 5 months ago and the glaze is completely peeling on all the pieces. Then I got a key pouch a month ago and the same thing is happening. What do I do?! Should I just let it peel off?? I’m so upset.
What??? Oh no! Take it into LV and show them. That shouldn’t be happening. The glazing on the Pochette Métis bag was peeling and melting for a while so they took those bags back and even did a recall until they fixed the issue. You should definitely show them. I don’t see anything like that happening on my Kirigami set and my key pouch is my most abused SLG and it still looks like new. These pieces should be durable and long-lasting!
Kirigami+1👍
Do you still have the set? Still think it is worth it? Xx
100% the Kirigami is a MUCH better value than the Mini Pochette, such an underrated piece!
The only thing I do not like about the Kirigami, they are so flimsy and thin. I like the Pochette.
They do what they want, is my conclusion.
I still won’t buy. I had no urge before when the MP was lower in price. And now that they’ve hacked up the price and kept the kirigami set the same they are basically manipulating you into thinking it has any value It’s all psychological games they play. First with the withholding inventory. Then increasing price and then making it available so you have a false sense of achievement in “scoring”. I am done with luxury items for a long time now. I still enjoy my croisette but it’s just getting ridiculous
I think that the Kirigami is beautiful but much easier to produce. No sewing just folding. Nevertheless the mini pochette price is simply ridiculous for what it is.
Good point
Well they’re all overpriced, let’s be honest but more isn’t necessarily better, especially if 1 of the 3 pouches remains redundant. Mini Pochette for me because the zip closure and chain mean I can use it as a wristlet and feel more secure when running quick errands. My daughter uses a strap from a bag I already own to make it into a little crossbody bag or threads the chain through a couple of belt loops on her jeans for a quick belt bag. (Sadly, my belt loops are too far apart for me to do this 😆.) The Kirigami is better value if there’s a need for all 3 pouches but like yourself, I too would be hunting for a reason to use the larger one. I wouldn’t use them to run errands with because I couldn’t be hands free, so in reality I’d have paid for 2 small pouches to hold bits and bobs inside my bag - and that’s not good value.
Absolutely! They’re both overpriced 😂 and I agree that the value depends on how you’ll use the item. Sounds like the mini pochette is perfect for you, especially if you use it as a wristlet!
@@hellocatwalkcity So easy for a supermarket smash and grab 😂.
Meh…I ordered the Kirigami. and immediately returned it. The set was very nice but compared to my cosmetic pouch $570, key case and round coin purse it was so flimsy. The Toiletry pouch, in my opinion is also flimsy. You’re better off going to the store and touching the products.
The Kirigami is so expensive and theres absolutely nothing to it, its just folded and easy to produce and Cheap to produce....Too highly priced.
I dislike the set. It’s very ugly to me. I have the accessories which is way more practical and betters
I just treated myself to the kirigami set and I absolutely love it!!!!! 🤎🤎🤎🤎 I just can't bring myself to buy the mini pochette at that price point!!! You definitely get more bang for your buck with the kirigami set.. I'm not even worried about it not having a zipper especially when there are many conversion kits you can use with this set. I'll tell you what...I love this set sooooo much that I purchased another kirigami set for my daughter!!!!
Aw that’s great!! It’s definitely a better value! Hope you and your daughter enjoy!
