I couldn’t handle the superiority complex of the message: I’ve replaced by bags with children. And nothing will compare to my motherhood status, so I’m superior now. I hate these women who play that card. I couldn’t have kids sadly so does that mean I have to remain a loser with labels?!
@@THECLOSETbyConnor thanks hun for removing that troll of a comment saying I had an inferiority complex as I don't have kids. 2024 social media be like ooouuch, narc fest. 👹
Just the echo of her closet lol. My place is a ome bedroom 400 sqft rental and it's me, my husband and toddler. Her closet is probably bigger than our place hahaha ...we live in canada and make what is considered higher middle class and yet can't afford a bigger rental, definitely not a home or any of the shiz she has and or getting rid of hahahahah Such fake BS.

I unsubbed from her years ago when she was clickbaiting videos and making the first 2/3 about something totally different, only to yap on about her kid. Lady, plenty of people breed. You're not the virgin Mary.
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who rolled my eyes. She was basically shifting bags from one shelf to the next and I cackled. She will be refilling her closet in 321. Anna Bey's video was equally laughable because she went onto to say she wasn’t getting rid of her luxury closet all while complaining about people getting luxury closets.
Anna Bey didn’t even try 😂 “like why do we need bags, it’s nothing” and also “I won’t be getting rid of my Hermes”. She was so half hearted with it. The pivoting is real.
"I love a good *esluxs* because it helps me decide if I want to buy the real thing or NOT." That part right there. That's IT. I feel like people stigmatize dupes but for me, I pause on large purchases that are trendy or when I feel the overconsumption mania setting in FOR ME. (It's something I struggle with LOL! I'm easily convinced to buy things I don't wear or use. They'll literally have the tags and I'll even forget I bought something and have 2 or 3 of them in my closet.) Love this video!
New to your channel- great video. I wasn’t familiar with Niki until these videos came out. I thought some of her views which she intended to be universal revealed more about her than she intended. There’s the 5 lies you touched upon, her comments about competition ( ummm what?), the herd (insulting/ judgmental). I think it’s telling going from one extreme to the other. Really let’s think about this: you sell ALL your belongings that are worth thousands of dollars?! Ya, something else is up. Now, she moves on to the next herd… already stampeding away in a cloud of minimalist beige 😂
I watched it in complete bewilderment. It felt like a cult video. I will continue to enjoy luxury and not give a shit what anyone else does or thinks. I love your reactions.
My first thought? She is broke!!! Needs the money and this is the best way to end the business! She is selling couple of her shit only. She doesn’t have to show were is her things. Its BS!!!
My only quibble: the lux community is directing too much traffic to that silly video. The "enlightened" folks are...well, not. They discovered thoughts beyond luxury! They discovered pursuits beyond shopping! They READ A BOOK, they discovered actual life content!. Honestly, that's the bottom line with these youtubers, women most of them, I must add. They became adults at 30-35, most of us realized life was way deeper at...15. Sorry for the rant.
I get so tired of the status symbol argument because it's just not true at all. People buy LV with Afterpay 🤣😂 we just buy the brands because we love the brand, it's not that deep. ❤
The whole video sounded like Nicki has had expensive therapy and she's passing on what the therapist told her, word for word. It doesn't have the ring of authenticity put it that way. Love the hoodie Connor! ♥
Exactly. There was nothing I heard that sounded authentic to me. Also, it was just very melodramatic, where the camera would do a close up of a pained look on her face. It really was a bit of an eye-roll moment.
She is a hypocrite. Currently her "best" accessories are her cute babies. Later on wheb her kids grow up a bit, she'll go back into buying luxury again. She just wants to stay relevant. She took a bit of a hiatus on YT.
I had no idea who Niki Sky was before the flood of reaction videos from my favorite UA-camrs. I watched it and read the comments. The most interesting part of the video was her reference to women being in competition. I've never felt competition as a motivation for style or purchases. If she did, it must have been exhausting. I think very extreme life transformations can be dangerous. There has to be a middle ground between consumer gluttony and minimalism. I hope she doesn't regret this purge later.
She’ll be fine. She has over half a million subs. She makes a ton of money doing videos. She’ll review toothpaste and make just as much. She already has a following. 😊
I lost a friend and she owned many beautiful bags. She passed down her bags to her close family and they will always have the memories from her. Some are more expensive than others but they hold emotional value ❤
Recently her best performing video called: “I got rid of everything”- 162K views. It explains everything. 😅 She made money on UA-cam and grew her channel by buying expensive luxury things that she didn't like and just to show off, now she thinks no one is interested in it anymore and she has changed direction. I feel false and impunity, a person does not bear any responsibility for manipulating the audience, and then calls it “growth” and encourages the audience to do the same. It was unpleasant for me to watch her video.
You can tell that narcissist was full of it because she still has all her haul and unboxing vids up. If she really feels that way about luxury stuff she would have taken down all those vids rather than keep them up for monetization lol😂💰
I guess "awakening - authentic self" cleanse is the new euphemism for "spring cleaning, bitch needs to make space for new shit$$$" 😂😂💩. New unboxing haul next stop; 50 shades of beige edition 😂
The dramatics of her holding the microphone had already turned me off. I couldn’t finish the video but did not find it genuine. The thumbnail alone screamed “scam.” I wish more people would just look to their own validation rather than think influencers are the end all be all. They need to look within and grow up. Great video Conner. 💕
Good on you, Connor. These UA-camrs are just following the latest trend. It is all a load of rubbish. Handbags are just handbags, it’s just some are ludicrously over priced.
Totally agree Connor. I wished I hadn’t watched it as I eye rolled all the way through. Even though she said she wasn’t judging others etc it felt judgmental to me. There’s nothing worse when someone makes a change and has seen the light and patronises everyone around them as if they are better somehow. I think it’s the underlying issue that person has that needed addressing. Throwing away all your bags won’t change that. Having said that it made me giggle that she’s happy to sell her bags to her audience who she is telling these bags are evil! I think it’s so extreme to get rid of everything. I understand curbing spending going forward etc but to get rid of everything! 🤔 hope it’s worth the views as she might be regretting it! Also I didn’t understand the issue re logo bags and non logo. She talks of spending and overconsumption but happy to keep non logo bags? So it’s ok to consume as long as nobody knows what it is?!?
I actually think she doesn’t know why’s she means either haha. Yes I’m all for a gentle cull and to reassess your priorities at certain times in life - but this extreme culling is madness!
I relate to Niki Shy. I am proud of her epiphany to change. I didn't interpret the video like you. She is changing for herself and not to persuade others to follow her.
@@dapperlygrungy3189 comments are always welcome, but each to their own as I disagree :) whilst she is changing ultimately for herself, the tone of her comments implies bigger. Each person will have their own take on it
I find it bizarre that people are responding this video like she personally attacked them. The woman spoke about her experience and her thoughts and feelings alone and passed no judgement on anyone else.
Yeah I think I commented on her video and said I’m not getting rid of anything.I love my dressing room. I am being more intentional with my purchases, of course, but I’m not selling!!! I have enough guilt being a woman and a mother…I don’t need more guilt for liking my brands.😊I’m all for self reflection.she can do what she wants but I’m not following 😂😂😂😂😂
Same but it’s Pepsi with real sugar. They call it Pepsi Throwback in Canada. It only comes out once every couple of years & I stock up in case of the Apocalypse🤣
I haven’t watched Niki’s video but I’m well aware of who she is and the amount of luxury she owned. She would buy bags, ready to wear, shoes and numerous other luxury pieces. I’m sure those that watch can see the magnificent home she lives in. I remember when she was having her home built with all the specifications they wanted. If she’s getting rid of her luxury items because of all the “LIES” is she still going to be living in her mansion? I believe she lives in a very expensive area just outside of Toronto.
Only needed to watch y'all to be glad that I didn't ever follow her or watch the ridiculously sounding video. The whole thing sounds so odd. Buy what you love, keep what you love and enjoy your life.
I think her video is intended for gen z fashion girls & guys who just want to follow trends. Not genuine handbag enthusiasts. I consume loads of youtube fashion content and the stuff she was saying is spat out loads in videos investment, timeless etc so to the audience I think its intended for I think are likely to resonate with her list of ‘lies’. I think people who buy a bag to ‘keep up/ status symbol’ are more likely the people who buy fakes anyway. Less consumerism is never a bad thing, but I just think she’s not aware she’s clearly just following a current trend here herself by doing this kind of luxury purge. Maybe she’s not as awake to influence as she thinks she is.
Yeah you make a good point and maybe I missed the mark on her target audience. I few people in the comments has mentioned though she’s built up her channel through the aid of luxury bags along the way
Almost every single SA in LA says the “it’s the only one in the country” I can’t stand it bc I know they’re fronting so hard to make the sale. I respect the SAs that just tell you it’s popular and let you decide what you want to do. None of this false pressure. But anyways loved your input, I haven’t watched her video nor will I plan to, only bc I’ve seen some other people’s off switch from luxury videos & idk they always come across exactly what you said “judgmental but tied up in a bow” and that’s gonna be a no from me too lolol
Hey lovely! I’ve had a few comments now from some Americans saying the exact same thing from their SA’s so I’m assuming it happens quite a bit over there which isn’t good!! We don’t get it much here thankfully! (Or I’m not listening 😂) Oh save yourself a watch, it’s nothing great 😂
Her video screams fake and forced tbh… but then again, most of her videos seem forced and clickbait-y or hopping on trends. I noticed it when she did her Birkin unboxing and she titled it “unboxing the rarest handbag in the world” and it was only a Birkin 35 etoupe lol. That’s actually an easy bag to get. I’ve been offered it a few times simply as a walk-in. Then I watched more of her videos and she just seems to do clickbait and forced videos to get more views. There’s also something condescending about her saying she “woke up” or feels more enlightened by getting rid of the few clothes and handbags she has… when there are world leaders and mothers who have done more in their life than her but they still have a large collection of luxury bags, shoes, clothes, etc. What does she even actually do other than being a momfluencer?
I am only 4 minutes in, but LOVE your reaction! THANK YOU! I do not appreciate the preachy lectures from “influencers” like Niki. I DO love the fun atmosphere of smaller channels like yours, Dayle’s, Melinda’s, Amelia’s and others that discuss their love of bags. I remember my fist job working in a coffee shop; several senior citizens were regular customers, and one in particular had some great advice and observations on life. She used to say “There are two things I can’t stand; reformed drinkers and reformed smokers” (because they became holier-than-thou and lectured those who still smoke or drank). And she was so right! We don’t want to hear about your newfound love of abstaining! We want to enjoy our hobby (some may even say a vice, but who cares?!) without condescending lectures! 😊
I learnt of this Niki's existence yesterday, from Amelia Rose. Seems she's taken a big ol' dose of the 'enlightenment bandwagon' Koolaid. For clicks. 😏
Her video was an absolute load of 💩 I couldn’t finish it but again I don’t know that I’ve ever finished any of her videos 🙄 I absolutely agree with everything that you’ve mentioned 💯
I totally agree with all the points you made. I haven’t watched Niki Sky’s whole video - the clip you showed was enough for me! But I’m heartily sick of these influencers who were prolific over-consumers a week ago, suddenly lecturing about materialism. It won’t surprise me, if in 18 months time, all the stuff they supposedly got rid of starts to re-emerge from storage and they start wearing it all again. Good luck to them all with her epiphanies, but it’s a personal journey, not one they should be preaching to others about.
Here in a US is a common thing for SAs to say its only 2 in the country or its the last one. Its in every store, Saks, Chanel, Naimans all of the luxury stores!!!!
I agree with everything you’ve said, especially the part about these videos having the potential to be destructive to other people’s self esteem if you’re impressionable. Super random but her video reminded me of a Family Guy episode where Lois jumps on the minimalism trend, throws everything out and then goes crazy as she’s still unhappy but can’t understand why, despite discarding her home and family. I feel that Niki is just replacing one fad for another and soon she’ll be telling us all about the next awakening she’s having.
Buying luxury teaches us all important lessons in life. The lessons it has taught me I will take with me for the rest of my life and those lessons are that I love LV and I love Chanel. Another important lesson is that I love the boutique experience and I LOVE my SA! These lessons I will cherish forever. 🤣
When I saw the Anna Bey video couple weeks ago where she criticized luxury closets and then declared she’s moving on I thought it was a one off. Now this Niki Sky that I’ve never heard of.
@@b.abouttowwn Anna Bey isn't getting rid of/selling all her bags and clothes just some things that no longer fit this phase of being done with "luxury and high society". I can kinda of relate to that b/c there are bags that no longer fit my life anymore that I've sold. However this whole thing just feels like another influencer move to keep eyeballs on their videos.
@@emerybayblues We all sell or donate things that no longer work for us. However, AB's niche is appealing to and appearing as if you belong to affluence. So, forgive me if I don’t buy it.
Thank you! My exact thoughts! I don´t know her and haven´t watched her videos before this was suggested to me, but she came out so self righteous. And the only thing I'm left with (besides the quote that I can´t wrap my head around bc neither the sentence construction nor the surposed meaning makes any sence), is that if you've found your truth, how about you just live it? As in silence. As in actions speak louder than words? Why do you need the world to know - unless you´re looking for validation once more. Which shows me that you´re not where you claim to be.
Thank you, Connor! I couldn’t agree more with you. I don’t subscribe to her channel and I rolled my eyes when I saw it come up in my recommended list. These types of videos from UA-camrs come off to me as heavy on virtue signaling, and at times, subtly scolding people for not making the same life choices as they are. I think you made a point that her doing this is based on her own insecurity and that’s the position she’s giving this “advice” from. Not everyone who buys luxury is like her or has these hang-ups, and that’s definitely where I’m at!
Yeah spot on - that’s exactly you the point I was making so I’m glad it came across that way. The ole deflection holier than thou video we’ve seen before 😆😆
Lol I’m guilty of hoarding discontinued items. I bought out every Maybelline 015 Born with it lipstick on the internet that I could find a couple of years ago🤭
Ha! I love this reaction. I completely agree. My close friends and family think I’m crazy with my handbag obsession, so my purchases are certainly not to impress them. It’s for me!! And yes, I plan to pass all my bags onto my daughter, but she’s 21 and loves bags also and it’s never been a justification for me to buy a bag.
She still has a ton of "stuff". Maybe one day she woke up and realized she's a luxury hoarder who can't possibly wear, or use all that "luuxuuuurrrry" but she won't stop hoarding, it's who she is. Maybe not hoarding stilettos anymore, just hoarding flats now😂
I just watched her video last night. Nearly asked her in the comments if she was also selling her Cartier love bracelet she was wearing. Chickened out 😂😉
Thanks for this VDO. This is make me feel! Yes! I just love the design I’m happy I buy it. It doesn’t make me look labels have logo or not logo! Well it showed that what is “shallow” means!
Yes I watched her video and feel so sick about, I immediately labelled her channel as ‘not interested’ 😂 It seems she kinds of earned enough money from the YT unboxing video from past years, now want to earn from the other ‘Topic’ 😂😂
Great reaction video!!!! I agree with EVERYTHING you said! 👍👍👍 She wanted to be socially accepted through her bags because she is insecure. Now she wants to be socially accepted because of her anti-logo-ism, again, because she still is insecure. And she never loved those pieces to begin with. She just bought what she thought would make her part of a "club" (that actually doesn't exist in real life, but that's the irony). The fact that she said, don't pass on bags, pass on lovely memories to your kids made me roll my eyes. Why not both if one can? Is it either or? Her video was a facepalm marathon for me. In my opinion, she has problems. And it's not the bags.
This 👆👆👆. Why can't you have nice vacations that create good memories, eat at delicious restaurants, and all the other experiences that these content creators want to tell us about, ALONG with luxury clothes, bags, and shoes? It all feels like new age wellness psychobabble where people who have no clue preach to you about their most recent "enlightening" experience. 🤮
This was So funny and true. The comment about ending the video with the church was exactly the vibe I got too. It was a judgmental video wrapped up in a bow.
Oh lovely Connor I just love you. My day has been made watching your video. I have never watched this video or any of her videos and to tell you the truth on hearing every one's thoughts on their videos, I don't want to. you just have a way of saying it how it is. Much love. Jenni. XX💙
Yes, so tired of those types of videos myself! And they are projecting! I started losing it when you said coming to Jesus moment and church of latter-day Saints lol you had me rolling😂😂😂😂😂! 😂😂
So happy I came across your channel (new sub 😉) Can’t wait to binge your videos haha And I actually have never heard of this person we’re discussing nor have I watched any of her videos lol (maybe bc I’m relatively new to the YT luxury fashion world) but I am so happy that it led to your reaction video showing up on my feed!
Aww I actually agree with you Connor, you know we don’t have the best past, but I seen this video and just clicked on it and I’ve been letting it play in the background as I’m doing things around the house and I’ve been listening and this is a great video. glad you made it and you have changed my mind about you. Sorry for any problems in the past. Have a great weekend. Wish you well. And I’m subscribing to your channel now! ❤
Yes, I remember watching a movie about a young nun and then all of a sudden I wanted to become a nun fast forward to high school as wild as hell now eight kids later and marriage of 30 years anyhow I did buy a few things from her closet, which everything was priced super low, which is crazy because when I buy things from the Kardashians closet, it's like prices can be doubled of retail
What a load of drivel!! This in not an airport, she doesn’t need to make announcements. Have you seen the clothes she’s selling? H&M, Zara and Top Shop and some pieces that wouldn’t want anybody to know I owned. If she’s about empowering women, why didn’t she donate to a women’s shelter, breast cancer research. etc? Some pieces are selling for under $10.00 - not much profit there, thinking the tax write off for charitable contribution could be more. Also, why did she need help emptying her clothes closet? Given the quality of many pieces - rolled/folded into three large garden trash bags. Last, but not least, the shoes, e.g., Steve Madden dupes - really now people?
I completely agree! I've only seen her take due to reaction videos like yours. I unsubscribed to her ever since she posted videos about what "classy women" wear or what's out of style. She's always had a judgey air to her. Always going with what is the trend or what is most popular. Seems like I was right about her all along! I'll stick to the real luxury lovers who aren't here to judge each others purchases but are here to geek out about luxury brands...it's not that serious people!
You said it SO well!! It was weird. I don’t know why one would feel the need to sell everything they own to prove their self worth. She must have been getting all these things for all the wrong reasons. I just get them cuz I love them! And if I need the money I’ll sell them. What is the big deal? 🤷♀️
Exactly!!!! Like I said in luxpurse channel. UA-cam is Niki’s job. You have to ask yourself why the dramatic change? Did her views decline? Did she lose sponsorships? Is this a rebrand? Is she going to turn her channel into a mommy channel? People don’t post anything without thinking of all the consequences/opportunities first. Just saying.
I couldn’t handle the superiority complex of the message: I’ve replaced by bags with children. And nothing will compare to my motherhood status, so I’m superior now. I hate these women who play that card. I couldn’t have kids sadly so does that mean I have to remain a loser with labels?!

The thumbnail alone screamed “scam.” I wish more people would just look to their own validation rather than think influencers are the end all be all. They need to look within and grow up. Great video Conner. 💕
Thank you lovely ❤❤❤
Good on you, Connor. These UA-camrs are just following the latest trend. It is all a load of rubbish. Handbags are just handbags, it’s just some are ludicrously over priced.
Thank you!! Oh it’s absolute crap isn’t it! ❤
Totally agree Connor. I wished I hadn’t watched it as I eye rolled all the way through. Even though she said she wasn’t judging others etc it felt judgmental to me. There’s nothing worse when someone makes a change and has seen the light and patronises everyone around them as if they are better somehow. I think it’s the underlying issue that person has that needed addressing. Throwing away all your bags won’t change that. Having said that it made me giggle that she’s happy to sell her bags to her audience who she is telling these bags are evil! I think it’s so extreme to get rid of everything. I understand curbing spending going forward etc but to get rid of everything! 🤔 hope it’s worth the views as she might be regretting it! Also I didn’t understand the issue re logo bags and non logo. She talks of spending and overconsumption but happy to keep non logo bags? So it’s ok to consume as long as nobody knows what it is?!?
I actually think she doesn’t know why’s she means either haha. Yes I’m all for a gentle cull and to reassess your priorities at certain times in life - but this extreme culling is madness!
I relate to Niki Shy. I am proud of her epiphany to change. I didn't interpret the video like you. She is changing for herself and not to persuade others to follow her.
Each to their own!
@@THECLOSETbyConnor You did request comments to your video. I was simply responding.
@@dapperlygrungy3189 comments are always welcome, but each to their own as I disagree :) whilst she is changing ultimately for herself, the tone of her comments implies bigger. Each person will have their own take on it
I think people who have to purge everything material in their life need therapy. Handbags aren’t at the root of their issues.
Always something deeper isn’t there xx
I find it bizarre that people are responding this video like she personally attacked them. The woman spoke about her experience and her thoughts and feelings alone and passed no judgement on anyone else.
That part is true, but the language that is used goes beyond her personal experience and is disrespectful to her following
That quote destroyed 98% of my brain cells
It was like a maths formula 😂😂😂 when I was writing down from her video, it took me 5 attempts
@@THECLOSETbyConnor 🤣😂☠
Yeah I think I commented on her video and said I’m not getting rid of anything.I love my dressing room. I am being more intentional with my purchases, of course, but I’m not selling!!! I have enough guilt being a woman and a mother…I don’t need more guilt for liking my brands.😊I’m all for self reflection.she can do what she wants but I’m not following 😂😂😂😂😂
It sounds like she's on a guilt trip so she's spreading the guilt around.
Exactly!!!
100%!!!
This! 👏👏👏
Oh yes, she invited us to join her on her journey! What a crock!
These luxury items built their you tube channels. That's why they kept buying stuff so we would watch their channel.n
Exactly
LMAO! And in the first one she was pushing her jewelry sponsor.
😂😂😂
I have 140 cans of Diet Coke in my linen cupboard…….just in case they do actually discontinue it.
This I can support 😂😂
Same but it’s Pepsi with real sugar. They call it Pepsi Throwback in Canada. It only comes out once every couple of years & I stock up in case of the Apocalypse🤣
🤣
Awesome Meredith - a woman after my own heart!
We could be besties. I'm not into this coke zero.
That quote is from an American sociologist from the early 1900s about identity formation in society called the “looking glass self” ☺
It was a tongue and Brain twister for me 🥲
Yes! I remember learning about that concept in my first year psych
One of the best videos on internet. PERIOD. Thnq for making this one. Sending love. ❤❤❤❤❤
Aw thank you so much ❤
I haven’t watched Niki’s video but I’m well aware of who she is and the amount of luxury she owned. She would buy bags, ready to wear, shoes and numerous other luxury pieces. I’m sure those that watch can see the magnificent home she lives in. I remember when she was having her home built with all the specifications they wanted. If she’s getting rid of her luxury items because of all the “LIES” is she still going to be living in her mansion? I believe she lives in a very expensive area just outside of Toronto.
Oh wow that’s crazy! She’s going to need to fill that closet with something!
Great video - well articulated. Also, you are *so* saucy, and I'm literally living for it.
Haha thank you ❤❤ how I roll 😅
OMG you are soooo wonderful in every sarcastic way possible!! I could listen to you talk FOREVER!! 👏🏼👏🏼
Haha thank you lovely ❤❤
I lost interest the minute I saw expensive stone cladding inside a shoe cabinet. A SHOE cabinet!!!!!!!!
I noticed that too her whole life is luxury seriously!
😂😂😂😂😂
I love a good reaction video as well! Enjoyed your take on this, love when you pull no punches!
Thanks lovely - you know me haha
Loved yours too, Amelia. You articulated your view extremely well!
Only needed to watch y'all to be glad that I didn't ever follow her or watch the ridiculously sounding video. The whole thing sounds so odd. Buy what you love, keep what you love and enjoy your life.
I think her video is intended for gen z fashion girls & guys who just want to follow trends. Not genuine handbag enthusiasts. I consume loads of youtube fashion content and the stuff she was saying is spat out loads in videos investment, timeless etc so to the audience I think its intended for I think are likely to resonate with her list of ‘lies’.
I think people who buy a bag to ‘keep up/ status symbol’ are more likely the people who buy fakes anyway.
Less consumerism is never a bad thing, but I just think she’s not aware she’s clearly just following a current trend here herself by doing this kind of luxury purge. Maybe she’s not as awake to influence as she thinks she is.
Yeah you make a good point and maybe I missed the mark on her target audience. I few people in the comments has mentioned though she’s built up her channel through the aid of luxury bags along the way
Almost every single SA in LA says the “it’s the only one in the country” I can’t stand it bc I know they’re fronting so hard to make the sale. I respect the SAs that just tell you it’s popular and let you decide what you want to do. None of this false pressure.
But anyways loved your input, I haven’t watched her video nor will I plan to, only bc I’ve seen some other people’s off switch from luxury videos & idk they always come across exactly what you said “judgmental but tied up in a bow” and that’s gonna be a no from me too lolol
Hey lovely! I’ve had a few comments now from some Americans saying the exact same thing from their SA’s so I’m assuming it happens quite a bit over there which isn’t good!! We don’t get it much here thankfully! (Or I’m not listening 😂)
Oh save yourself a watch, it’s nothing great 😂
So cheeky. Your response is spot on. I could not make it through the videos +Beys... My stomach was starting to churn.
Her video screams fake and forced tbh… but then again, most of her videos seem forced and clickbait-y or hopping on trends.
I noticed it when she did her Birkin unboxing and she titled it “unboxing the rarest handbag in the world” and it was only a Birkin 35 etoupe lol. That’s actually an easy bag to get. I’ve been offered it a few times simply as a walk-in.
Then I watched more of her videos and she just seems to do clickbait and forced videos to get more views.
There’s also something condescending about her saying she “woke up” or feels more enlightened by getting rid of the few clothes and handbags she has… when there are world leaders and mothers who have done more in their life than her but they still have a large collection of luxury bags, shoes, clothes, etc.
What does she even actually do other than being a momfluencer?
I think you’ve nailed it!! Having more or less of something defines nothing about you - she’ll realise that soon and will be back buying again lol
It’s basically just a reset. Watch out for all the future "minimalist hauls”.
They’re coming 😢😢
I am only 4 minutes in, but LOVE your reaction! THANK YOU! I do not appreciate the preachy lectures from “influencers” like Niki.
I DO love the fun atmosphere of smaller channels like yours, Dayle’s, Melinda’s, Amelia’s and others that discuss their love of bags.
I remember my fist job working in a coffee shop; several senior citizens were regular customers, and one in particular had some great advice and observations on life. She used to say “There are two things I can’t stand; reformed drinkers and reformed smokers” (because they became holier-than-thou and lectured those who still smoke or drank). And she was so right! We don’t want to hear about your newfound love of abstaining! We want to enjoy our hobby (some may even say a vice, but who cares?!) without condescending lectures! 😊
Oh I love that!! The oldies always have those great quotes - I’ll remember that. It’s so true though x
So she was collecting handbags for all the wrong reasons (mainly to show off) it seems 😅 its just funny that now she calls us a herd
Oh exactly right! Says everything about her
I learnt of this Niki's existence yesterday, from Amelia Rose. Seems she's taken a big ol' dose of the 'enlightenment bandwagon' Koolaid. For clicks. 😏
I think so too! Eh oldest trick in the book
Her video was an absolute load of 💩 I couldn’t finish it but again I don’t know that I’ve ever finished any of her videos 🙄 I absolutely agree with everything that you’ve mentioned 💯
Thanks lovely ❤❤❤
same
I totally agree with all the points you made. I haven’t watched Niki Sky’s whole video - the clip you showed was enough for me! But I’m heartily sick of these influencers who were prolific over-consumers a week ago, suddenly lecturing about materialism. It won’t surprise me, if in 18 months time, all the stuff they supposedly got rid of starts to re-emerge from storage and they start wearing it all again. Good luck to them all with her epiphanies, but it’s a personal journey, not one they should be preaching to others about.
Niki sounds like she’s been talking to a therapist! Telling her followers how gullible they are and then to Buy her handbags anyway? Fake AF
She should ask for a refund from the therapist lol
More like she real some BS self help book and thought she had a profound awakening or she is just jumping on the quiet luxury trend.
Here in a US is a common thing for SAs to say its only 2 in the country or its the last one. Its in every store, Saks, Chanel, Naimans all of the luxury stores!!!!
I had a feeling it was more a US comment as we don’t really get it here, unless you genuinely asked
What about the house? The cars?
Unsubscribed
They all go hand in hand right! Time to get a Toyota haha
Always love your reaction videos !!
Thanks Nick ❤❤❤
I watched her video, and my eyes rolled so much that they ended the back of my head 🙄. I'm totally agree with you.
Thank you ❤❤
I agree with everything you’ve said, especially the part about these videos having the potential to be destructive to other people’s self esteem if you’re impressionable.
Super random but her video reminded me of a Family Guy episode where Lois jumps on the minimalism trend, throws everything out and then goes crazy as she’s still unhappy but can’t understand why, despite discarding her home and family.
I feel that Niki is just replacing one fad for another and soon she’ll be telling us all about the next awakening she’s having.
Bwhahaha I know the episode you’re referring to that’s gold
first time to watch you, love your hoodie!
Thank you so much 🩵🩵
Buying luxury teaches us all important lessons in life. The lessons it has taught me I will take with me for the rest of my life and those lessons are that I love LV and I love Chanel. Another important lesson is that I love the boutique experience and I LOVE my SA! These lessons I will cherish forever. 🤣
All apart of the journey hehe ❤❤
Valuable lessons
When I saw the Anna Bey video couple weeks ago where she criticized luxury closets and then declared she’s moving on I thought it was a one off. Now this Niki Sky that I’ve never heard of.
😂😂😂
Yeah, and actually says she isn’t getting rid of hers. What in the fcuk? What’s the point of the video!
@@b.abouttowwn Anna Bey isn't getting rid of/selling all her bags and clothes just some things that no longer fit this phase of being done with "luxury and high society". I can kinda of relate to that b/c there are bags that no longer fit my life anymore that I've sold. However this whole thing just feels like another influencer move to keep eyeballs on their videos.
@@emerybayblues We all sell or donate things that no longer work for us. However, AB's niche is appealing to and appearing as if you belong to affluence. So, forgive me if I don’t buy it.
OMG I loved this! Thank you for saying what I was thinking and for being so funny and entertaining while doing it.
Aw thank you xx
What in the hell is she going to fill her massive closet with now 🤷♀️ its bigger than my house!
She’s going to fill it with memories and empowerment 😂
@@THECLOSETbyConnor 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well it won’t be Kmart clothes
@@ladysusanjane2682 hahaha exactly
Thank you! My exact thoughts! I don´t know her and haven´t watched her videos before this was suggested to me, but she came out so self righteous. And the only thing I'm left with (besides the quote that I can´t wrap my head around bc neither the sentence construction nor the surposed meaning makes any sence), is that if you've found your truth, how about you just live it? As in silence. As in actions speak louder than words? Why do you need the world to know - unless you´re looking for validation once more. Which shows me that you´re not where you claim to be.
Great responses and I knew you would be doing a video on this 😊💙!
Thank you ❤❤
@@THECLOSETbyConnor your welcome
A year from now she will have rebought everything she has sold.
Oh 100%%
Thank you, Connor! I couldn’t agree more with you. I don’t subscribe to her channel and I rolled my eyes when I saw it come up in my recommended list. These types of videos from UA-camrs come off to me as heavy on virtue signaling, and at times, subtly scolding people for not making the same life choices as they are. I think you made a point that her doing this is based on her own insecurity and that’s the position she’s giving this “advice” from. Not everyone who buys luxury is like her or has these hang-ups, and that’s definitely where I’m at!
Yeah spot on - that’s exactly you the point I was making so I’m glad it came across that way. The ole deflection holier than thou video we’ve seen before 😆😆
Lol I’m guilty of hoarding discontinued items. I bought out every Maybelline 015 Born with it lipstick on the internet that I could find a couple of years ago🤭
Hahahaha this is a safe space for you 😂
Ha! I love this reaction. I completely agree. My close friends and family think I’m crazy with my handbag obsession, so my purchases are certainly not to impress them. It’s for me!! And yes, I plan to pass all my bags onto my daughter, but she’s 21 and loves bags also and it’s never been a justification for me to buy a bag.
❤❤❤❤❤
Omg, thank you for saving me time and from a view from her!! Soooo agree!! Love the honesty!
She still has a ton of "stuff". Maybe one day she woke up and realized she's a luxury hoarder who can't possibly wear, or use all that "luuxuuuurrrry" but she won't stop hoarding, it's who she is. Maybe not hoarding stilettos anymore, just hoarding flats now😂
Exactly 😂😂
I just watched her video last night. Nearly asked her in the comments if she was also selling her Cartier love bracelet she was wearing. Chickened out 😂😉
Hahahahaha you’re hilarious ❤😂
Poor woman is so tiresome and contrived. But you are fabulous!
Aww thank you lovely x
Thanks for this VDO.
This is make me feel! Yes! I just love the design I’m happy I buy it. It doesn’t make me look labels have logo or not logo! Well it showed that what is “shallow” means!
Yes very true!
Yes I watched her video and feel so sick about, I immediately labelled her channel as ‘not interested’ 😂 It seems she kinds of earned enough money from the YT unboxing video from past years, now want to earn from the other ‘Topic’ 😂😂
She’ll do a 180 soon and be back. Always the way 😂
Great analysis and response!
Thank you ❤❤❤
Great reaction video!!!! I agree with EVERYTHING you said! 👍👍👍 She wanted to be socially accepted through her bags because she is insecure. Now she wants to be socially accepted because of her anti-logo-ism, again, because she still is insecure. And she never loved those pieces to begin with. She just bought what she thought would make her part of a "club" (that actually doesn't exist in real life, but that's the irony). The fact that she said, don't pass on bags, pass on lovely memories to your kids made me roll my eyes. Why not both if one can? Is it either or? Her video was a facepalm marathon for me. In my opinion, she has problems. And it's not the bags.
This 👆👆👆. Why can't you have nice vacations that create good memories, eat at delicious restaurants, and all the other experiences that these content creators want to tell us about, ALONG with luxury clothes, bags, and shoes? It all feels like new age wellness psychobabble where people who have no clue preach to you about their most recent "enlightening" experience. 🤮
Hahaha nailed it!!! Exactly why not both! They say money can’t buy happiness but I’d rather be crying in a Ferrari 🚗🚗🚗
Very well said. My eye rolling has been the most exercise I have gotten in a while.
lol omg that quote!
My yoga teacher uses that one! How embarrassing 😂
It’s so confusing hahauaha
@@THECLOSETbyConnor yes haha I still don't understand what it means tbh 🤣😂
So much respect to you for saying out loud the things we are thinking. 👏👏👏
This was So funny and true. The comment about ending the video with the church was exactly the vibe I got too. It was a judgmental video wrapped up in a bow.
Big church vibes 😂😂😂
Even tho my closet is 90% thrifted i wouldn't jump on getting rid of it coz i love them. I appreciate all of them
Oh lovely Connor I just love you. My day has been made watching your video. I have never watched this video or any of her videos and to tell you the truth on hearing every one's thoughts on their videos, I don't want to. you just have a way of saying it how it is. Much love. Jenni. XX💙
Thank you lovely ❤❤❤
Absolutely agree just going from one extreme to another.

So happy I came across your channel (new sub 😉) Can’t wait to binge your videos haha
And I actually have never heard of this person we’re discussing nor have I watched any of her videos lol (maybe bc I’m relatively new to the YT luxury fashion world) but I am so happy that it led to your reaction video showing up on my feed!
Aww I actually agree with you Connor, you know we don’t have the best past, but I seen this video and just clicked on it and I’ve been letting it play in the background as I’m doing things around the house and I’ve been listening and this is a great video. glad you made it and you have changed my mind about you. Sorry for any problems in the past. Have a great weekend. Wish you well. And I’m subscribing to your channel now! ❤
Thanks Jason - no more nasty comments to me and my friends and it’ll be water under the bridge x
Spot on! I couldn’t agree with you more on this! 😎👍🏻
Thank you ❤❤❤
This was the best reaction video on point in general when you don’t curse ur videos are enjoyable
Aw thank you ❤❤
Yes, I remember watching a movie about a young nun and then all of a sudden I wanted to become a nun fast forward to high school as wild as hell now eight kids later and marriage of 30 years anyhow
I did buy a few things from her closet, which everything was priced super low, which is crazy because when I buy things from the Kardashians closet, it's like prices can be doubled of retail
Hahahaha! Chess geek offspring! Another really great video, and such good points ❤😂
Thank you Stella ❤❤❤
I couldn’t even get through a few seconds of her video because it totally felt like a cult video.
Big cult vibes
Subscribed ! Because I totally agree with you on the de-luxing fiasco & because you also have a mom-monogram/ LV my heritage ❤.
Twins!!! I love that bag 🥹😘
What a load of drivel!! This in not an airport, she doesn’t need to make announcements. Have you seen the clothes she’s selling? H&M, Zara and Top Shop and some pieces that wouldn’t want anybody to know I owned. If she’s about empowering women, why didn’t she donate to a women’s shelter, breast cancer research. etc? Some pieces are selling for under $10.00 - not much profit there, thinking the tax write off for charitable contribution could be more. Also, why did she need help emptying her clothes closet? Given the quality of many pieces - rolled/folded into three large garden trash bags. Last, but not least, the shoes, e.g., Steve Madden dupes - really now people?
You make some great points, who could be assed selling something for $10?
I completely agree! I've only seen her take due to reaction videos like yours. I unsubscribed to her ever since she posted videos about what "classy women" wear or what's out of style. She's always had a judgey air to her. Always going with what is the trend or what is most popular. Seems like I was right about her all along! I'll stick to the real luxury lovers who aren't here to judge each others purchases but are here to geek out about luxury brands...it's not that serious people!
You said it SO well!! It was weird. I don’t know why one would feel the need to sell everything they own to prove their self worth. She must have been getting all these things for all the wrong reasons. I just get them cuz I love them! And if I need the money I’ll sell them. What is the big deal? 🤷♀️
Yeah exactly! Maybe they were all gifted 😂😂

It’s my issue but also know 1/2 million people are watching so…..
That part
Exactly!!!! Like I said in luxpurse channel. UA-cam is Niki’s job. You have to ask yourself why the dramatic change? Did her views decline? Did she lose sponsorships? Is this a rebrand?
Is she going to turn her channel into a mommy channel?
People don’t post anything without thinking of all the consequences/opportunities first. Just saying.
I would not watch her video. It would bore me to tears. I love having my luxury bags . I will never be a minimalist. Loved hearing your point of view.
No to minimalism!!! 😂
Great video Connor; I agree with your points!! 😂🙌🏻
