Hello, my name is Gill, and my channel is about all things beautiful that I come across in my daily life. I'm currently based in New York after having lived in Paris for 5 years. I still travel between Paris and New York quite often so I film in both cities as often as I can.
You will find contents about luxury, lifestyle and a bit of travel. I also like discovering independent / lesser-known brands that have great products. I hope to send a little “feel good vibes” to you through my contents.
Home is Toronto, Canada, though I also feel at home in Paris, New York and Hong Kong.

The reality is: if you're rich and famous, your HIDUPZ bags are seen as a sign of success. If you are just an ordinary worker working a 9-to-5 job, your real bag is likely to be
For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I'll be happy that I have the kislux as my travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
No your bag was definitely not properly packed. I buy in San Diego & Las Vegas & my bags have always been properly packed. Congratulations your bag is beautiful. I’m looking to add a tweed bag to my collection as well.❤
It’s stunning. Agree with you about how she packaged this for you and how she didn’t ship it to you when she should’ve. Unacceptable IMO. So glad you found one you can feel good about. She’s beautiful.
It is definitely one of the most beautiful tweed I have ever seen . How can I know if my tweed bag is lesage or not ? I bought recently the 20 C tweed mini with rainbow hardware . I have always admired that multicolor purple tweed but not sure about the type.
Yea Chanel makes it hard to tell for sure sometimes because they don’t want to de-emphasize their other tweeds, but usually the Lesage ones have more texture and a higher number of different types of threads. I watch videos of Loïc Prigent who has a lot of inside access to fashion houses and in his 24A runway show episode he spoke to the people at Lesage and they chatted about the tweeds they made this season. On the Chanel app there was also a page displaying this tweed specifically calling it Lesage, but otherwise it’s hard to tell. You may want to check out if Loic Prigent made a video for 20C, his videos are always very informative!
I heard that LV no longer conducts appraisals because the quality of fakes is so good. I actually don't mind if someone buys a fake, I'm their money, and to be honest, *gtdupe* it's probably more financially sensible.
The colors are gorgeous!!!! Itself is so beautiful bag and the tweed has a special touch, thanks for sharing where the inspiration was taken. Also you pointed out something that I didn’t notice: when the bags are on display and stock is limited some AS mention but I feel is more for putting pressure for you to buy it , or some of them don’t even care to mention it.
Okay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the kislux book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations
I'm very happy with the LYXBAG package. Beautiful storage compartments. Looks and feels like leather. The shoulder straps and zipper are of high quality. Very happy with the purchase.
Excellent, very details and informative reviews, and plus your tips for how to wear them. One thing, I would like to check with you about the bag, you did mentioned if you could only own one bag, you will pick the small one. However, are you still will to pick lambskin or caviar?
Yes! In fact, lambskin has grown on me a lot. The caviar does feel a lot more sturdy but I find that I enjoy the feel and touch of the lambskin a lot more and get a lot more enjoyment out of it. The caviar just doesn’t feel nearly as luxurious. I think I will only buy lambskin from now on when it comes to Chanel leather bags.
I currently have the Jumbo classic flap with GHW in caviar, and I'm planning to purchase a medium classic flap. I've been torn between the lambskin with GHW and caviar with SHW, but I believe I'm going to go with the lambskin because your comment about the caviar not feeling as luxurious reflects my sentiments exactly. Do you think the lambskin can also be worn for casual daywear?
@@user-qe4zj6iu4s lambskin GHW is the ultimate classic! You can’t go wrong with that, although it’s definitely not as casual looking.. but hey who says you can’t rock it with a casual outfit? I would just wear whatever you feel like!
There's nothing wrong with counterfeit fashion products, as long as they're not fragrances, and as long as they sell for significantly less than the actual product from the manufacturer in question. *hidupz* bags are awesome. Prices are all around $150.
Thanks for the video. I am trying to find out how the strap is attached to the bag but their site n this video doesnt show it.... i thought how the strap is attached to the bag is also a must to check/go through as the strap will hold significant amt of weight???
@ *LVGUCI* The canvas tote actually reminds me of the Hermes Garden Party too. Thanks for making this video to suggest more budget friendly alternatives. love it!
Well done! ❤ GREAT video! Fantastic content. As you know, I sold my entire CHANEL collection and am investing in quieter and better-quality items at a better price. I was in Paris last Friday and booked an appointment at JM Weston and bought two loafers and one Mary Jane. Chef’s kiss! Amazing hand-made quality x
@@TeaTimeinParis Yes! I agree! Well-constructed clothes and accessories speak and Oozes quality. I do not need a flashy logo to confirm that my x piece is quality and “expensive” Also, I am not a waking billboard for brands x; they should pay me and not the other way around. Like you, I like to honour smaller family holdings who have worked generations with passion to maintain and grow their family heirloom. My shoes from J.M. Weston are hand-sewn in Limoges. They are welted!! Not glued like the chanels, diors, etc., made by a third party at hiked prices, as you beautifully illustrated in your video. Wow! Now, that is luxury to me. Again, well done for your video; it hit home to me 🙏🏻
Thanks! I know exactly what you mean. My husband gets his shoes from a Parisian family owned / generational shoemaker who crafts exquisite shoes made to measure. They take months to make and cost more than any of the designer brands because of how long it takes to craft the shoes to measure. No one knows what brand he’s wearing but they ooze quality and craftsmanship. I still like my Chanel shoes but I know I’m not exactly buying craftsmanship there and I have to baby those a lot more than the real quality shoes 😆
@@TeaTimeinParis Respect and nurture your beautiful journey. Your fashion reflects who you are right now and we evolve 🌺 I look forward to watching your life chapters. Merci beaucoup!
Without wishing to offend anyone, I cannot see the value of spending astronomical amounts of money to get this bag. It just isn't that remarkable looking, at least, not so much more so than a Chanel of the equivalent size. If it is just for the prestige or showing off, I am not willing to get on that wheel. We cannot fake who we are. I am not a billionaire and wearing a Birkin would be fooling no one. But, if people have the budget, or adore this bag, I am fine with them doing whatever they can afford to get it. Life is short. I like to indulge my preferences and am happy for others to do the same.
