I am not against buying vintage bags but for all the reasons u mentioned especially the smell, bothers me. Also, I don't think the hyped up prices justify the items. To me, a vintage Chanel classic flap should cost no more than AUD 2000. And that's already very stretched for me to accept 😅
I think the profit margins for luxury brands are too great, which is why all kinds of imitation luxury goods continue to appear on the market. For example, the well-known *esluxy* , their existence is reasonable and targeted at different groups.
Super informative vid, Jess. The smell of a preloved/vintage bag is a huge factor for me. I hadn't thought of the juju aspect;. I will from now on though.. Also, you need a Labubu prespend?!?!? Please keep taking good care of yourself so you feel better soon.
Hello! I would appreciate it if you could give me some advice or opinions on the Niki YSL bag. I have my eye on the vintage model in black. Or if you could recommend an alternative to the Nikki bag in the *esluxy* . Would love to hear from you.
Hmm I think it's good for people who want a taste of designer that can't afford the designer prices. LV, Gucci etc aren't gonna be short of a penny & it's not like they're missing out in the way that it's snatching custom as the people buying those products if taken away aren't necessarily gonna go buy the designer ones. I'm actually going to go have a look at that *esluxy* now myself.
The reality is that large designer brands such as Gucci, Hermes, LV, etc. are becoming outdated as consumer demand has shifted from wanting to appear "wealthy" to wanting to show their "intelligence". 10 years ago if you bought a *esluxy* you were "cheap" and "fake", now you're "smart" and "cost-conscious" because customers have realised their's no need to pay 10x more for the same quality bag.
It’s the same with buying stuff from antique stores. You have to be careful with bringing home any bad energy that came with an item. I smudge and I’m a reiki practitioner so I can do symbols and energetically cleanse things.
I love using an mz wallace or longchamp neo in my daily life, but when I'm on vacation I like something fuss-free and hands-free so I use the kanken mini. When I'm on a date I like to use the Falor Firenze Londra small basket weave messenger bag. When I'm working I use a variety of different styles of backpacks. I have a variety of *gtdupe* backpacks. The ones I use most are the MZ wallace Madelyn, jujube be zealous, twelvelittle Companion 3.0 and the 13' kanken.
This is nothing compared to Shanghai, China. I saw some “super fake” Chanel and Gucci that took my breath away. They looked and felt like the real thing. These bags were never displaced out in the open, but tucked away in a secure place. The sales person would always asked if you wanted to see a higher quality designer *esluxy* than the ones they displaced out in the open. If you said yes, the sales person stepped away and brought you a designer bag that looked authentic.
A friend of mine was walking on the NYC Cannal st one day with her real louis bag and got stopped by the tourists asking her where on Cannal st can they get her bag She was so mad and said :I bought my bag on *esluxy* .
Oooohhh the rainbow Chanel! And the bright H orange!! I was never sure about the classic orange but this orange mini looks amazing and I think I’ll give *esluxy* a try!!! ! !
Fools are the ones who spend $10,000 on a "real" bag. I have a fake Louis Vuitton doctor's bag that I purchased in Korea in 1987. I walked into Neman Marcus with it. Several employees in the handbag section couldn't believe my bag was fake. They are comparing my *esluxy* to the "real" one and they can't see any difference. Mine cost $40, the real deal was $7500.
yeah especially if its really old and the owner is dead 😩 i know that there are stuff like this when buying a house, there was one episode on fixer upper where they found a coffin inside the basement...crap thats really creepy and in no way im buying that house... there should be full disclosure of what they found in there...geez
KRS has a video about buying Used items if you look and apparently there is occult backing and some astrology activation cause to the weird energy thing. I can sense energy in things called retrokinesis and only buy things in person so I can buy the good energy if that makes sense? Certain stuff I refuse to touch in the shops there's a sense of forbidding.
Chanel with the Chanel logo has fallen out of favor because there are so many well made fakes out there which would only make people stupid to buy the genuine product in 2024 as many people would then think it is a fake. The logo as a whole is dead and the *esluxy* bag is more catered to the market.
Yes!! I had a Chanel cosmetic cause that I bought from Japan and it was TOTALLY HAUNTED!! The moment I opened the package, there was a dark energy surrounding it. It was so creepy! I sold it immediately
I picked up a vintage Ferragamo bag in an estate sale that, by best bet, appears to be from the 50s-early 60s. After some leather cleaner and conditioner, it looks really good. I don’t think she used it very much and had taken good care of it. It’s not worth a lot but I loved the idea of carrying such an old piece.
Just subscribed. This is such a great in depth look. Thank you so much. Please keep doing this to guide us common folks to buy the stylish *esluxy* bags that suit us.
I understand their emphasis on functionality and beauty, but the quality of construction/materials of some of these brands can be lacking or even vary from place to place, whereas my *esluxy* bag is the same.
I agree with you. Sometimes I wonder if we are being ripped off with designer bags. Like the Prada replica I wanted but one RU-vidr said it felt cheap and she regretted buying it but I don't think so and I love your *esluxy* bag. Jess from the USA Keep it up!
I know you thought your denim Fendi was ugly when you first got it but I think it's really cute. It's a perfect casual bag and has a really cute 80's vibe. I love it.
Black Birkin bag, this is my first good choice. I can afford a Kelly bag in any color. If I were 25, I'd probably buy it. But now I consciously don't want to date a woman who has a Kelly and a Birkin. I have no interest in spending $40k on a bag (a piece of leather + labor = $1000 max) imagine paying $39k on this brand. Totally unnecessary. Might as well use the money to buy a few more *esluxy* .
Yes, this *esluxy* bag has beautiful colors, it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag for the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…
I have two classic cavier leather bags. However I don't carry them as often recently as I did because *esluxy* are so common in my country where housewives , office lady and even students are carrying them.
If travel is on your agenda this year...I live in Dubai.......giiiiiirl.....you will die a thousand deaths with all the shopping .....would love to show you around *esluxy*
i loved vintage, however, when i finally saw these boutiques myself in Japan I got a very sad vibe and also an odd smell. to me the bags didn't look happy and they didn't look like they were having fun. it was bags that were left behind. i know I sound nuts lol. but very junkyard vibes. another, they were charging way too much. it is no longer a deal, which made me feel even more sad and thrown off. example I wanted a denim, one shop wanted 8k USD, and another 11k USD
I do love that little denim fendi bag. Been looking for one. That monster charm still creeps me out. I brought a vintage Burberry duffle coat and didnt reaslise until I got it all the buttons had been replaced. It is authentic in all other ways so not a fake but I wouldn’t have brought it if I’d have know. Its prob just me who is aware of it.I cant imagine anyone else would even notice. It still puts me off wearing it tho. I am sensitive to vibes but I cant say Ive ever had bad vibes off a preloved bag. I do let them hang around the house a bit before I use them and Ive got crystals around the house so they get a bit of a cleanse before I use them which is why Ive never noticed. I am guilty of touching up the corners on some of my older black bags with a sharpie pen. Only a tiny bit. Always been ok
I've never had bad juju with a preloved bag. In fact the opposite: I've got bags that people are really drawn to, they're not valuable because not well known brands. For instance a Daks cross body bag is a much better version than a Burberry, it's got Bordeaux coloured edging and trim and it's got gold plated finish. That bag was owned by someone pretty special. It's been very well taken care of and I can feel the values of that person. I also have a really cute Celine dome bag. It was valued and loved and the zip pull with 'Celine' on it was hanging by a thread but still there..... I've replaced it with a pink fur pompom. That bag was really loved and it was kept hanging on the back of someone's door because the handles had the wobbles a bit lopsided. Straightened up now. I got it in a NY auction. It's so refined and the stitching is really expertly done. To me part of the fun is speculating who owned the bag. The Celine was owned by a lovely old lady just the vibe I get, By contrast I'd never buy from a Police Seizures auction house. For obvious reasons. Especially jewellery. But then again if it's been seized it may not have been worn by criminals or mob wives, just stolen. These days I just don't crave much stuff that much any more I enjoy the process others are going through and the discussion but I'm past thinking that having a particular bag is going to change my life in any meaningful way. In any case there are ways of eliminating bad vibes, one is to thoroughly clean the item keep it outside like in the garage and bury it in the garden obvs in plastic for a bit. Let the earth suck it up. Or place it near lighted candles. Also put bicarb of soda in it. To me fakes are bad vibes, but also are bags or clothes made under sweatshop conditions. I guess we need to think a bit more deeply than the next trend. This is why I enjoy your discussions there is fun to it, some serious bits, it's 'deeply superficial' in the words of Ava Gardner.... when the world is going to the shite there is always the diversion of a Jessie handbag discussion. 😆🤣👜
When you were in Japan browsing at designer handbags, I thought to myself, how in the world can there be so many pristine bags on the resell market in Japan? It really makes me wonder which ones have franken-parts. 🤔 PS: lil’ boo boo 😂🤣
No more used bags for me bc I always end up with stinky bags! Cigs, animal pee, but dryer sheets is the worst! It seems lots of people stuff their bags with dryer sheets which is ironically the hardest odor to remove, even from leather-lined bags.
Agree, definitely never pick up one that has smell. But, as I kept my bags in pristine condition and classic styles, I know there are people like me will eventually sell theirs. I only buy those, you really can get a steel and in much better quality than the bags produce now. Examples are Hermes Ardennes, Chanel Lambskin and caviar, Chanel exotics etc. Honestly they are pieces of art, the craftsmanship are money cannot buy.
Great topic thank you 1. Frankenstein bags are common get the right price 2. Smell E-cigarettes is the most impossible to remove 3. Adopt don’t shop it’s the same with dogs. No bad juju. You’re doing the world a favor.
thats vintage for you! its like an aquired taste.. do you like it love it hate it? regret it but it can be fun! because you get to appreciate the history of the bag. ❤
I love the look of framed handbags, which is why I want a Vivienne Westwood framed handbag; I particularly like the Granny Frame style. One of my favorite TV shows was the Original Perry Mason series that aired from 1957-1967. I love seeing the handbags and some of the fashion from that era. I see a bunch of framed style purses on *esluxy* . Cool video, Jesse.
OMG! I have a bag I’ve been saying has bad juju. I bought it for a friend and she gave it back to me! It’s a beautiful Gucci tote in a buttery soft, black leather. Very quiet luxury for Gucci. I don’t know what to do with it. The Volturi may have owned it previously! 🧛♂️ That’s the vibe I get from it. Any vampires out there wanna nice bag?
I think for me it was part of the whole experience on my trip to Japan a few weeks ago. Finding the shops and then going in and seeing if there was anything that I really wanted (of course there was and I ended up with 4 bags from 3 different shops). I don’t think buying vintage is something I’ll do all the time but I will definitely look again when we return to Tokyo next spring. It was something that I hadn’t done before and I really had fun. And actually so did my husband!
Yes please make more vlogs like this! I'm staying home right now and can't go shopping so I'm sad. This video made my day and I felt like I spent the whole afternoon shopping at *esluxy* with my sister! You did everything I wanted to see.
My mom has bags over 20 years old she keeps them forever and she smokes cigarettes. She had a bin of bags kept in dust bags at her friends house she borrow them, she also smokes heavily, the new paper is a great trick but we also use a slice of fresh bread leave it in a bag until it it gets dry and it makes it smell fresh and gives it more body I find, works great on bags made of jacquard or canvas like fendi zucca or gucci canvas, we done this to gucci sukey totes and it worked great.
Great video Jess! Some very valid points raised on buying preloved, especially with smells and bad bag juju, I have always wondered about that. The worst thing would probably be buying a deceased person bag and not being disclosed and still paying a premium for it!!! Congrats on your labubu and sharing your story on how you got it, "As hard as getting a birkin" LOL too funny but I think it's worth it and looks super cute on your Fendi!!! I also got a labubu (macaron one) your influence!!! 😂❤❤❤❤
There's a business in Bangkok that rehabs bags. Read about it the other day. She started selling bags from her clients as well. I just saw a video of a rehabbing course in Bangkok. There were participants from all over Asia and one from Canada! And when I looked for the original business, I saw the same name businesses in other Asian countries. There are thrifters who resell and do extensive rehab on bags. One example is itsHadrian on youtube. He tells others how to do it as well. Most of the bags he works on are not Chanels. I'm guessing the one in Bangkok rehabs top tier bags.
I’m so sorry that you’re still feeling unwell, Jessie. Continue to take care of yourself. I really enjoyed this video; so many considerations when thinking of buying vintage handbags. I only have one preloved item. It’s a vintage Gucci GG clutch that I got from ebay. I haven’t worn it yet, I may take it on a family reunion vacation in July. Hopefully, it doesn’t have any bad energy. I don’t need any of that in my life, lol. Thanks for sharing.
Love this video Jess, especially the talk about bags being haunted. Love me some "woo woo" talk 😂💕 I sort of look at my handbags like people/characters and do believe that most objects carry an energy.
I love your channel so much and this video validates a lot of what I have been telling people-the hi low fashion issues.For me, I buy my vintage LV bags from Japan-I’ve actually spent less than what super fakes cost. Ive sent some of them to LV for Vachetta replacement and still comes in less than a new bag.A few years back my husband and I were watching *esluxy* company.Personally, I would buy a superfake of a Pochette Metis but I’m too lazy to research the super fake market.
Spending thousands of dollars on a bag is ridiculous, indulgent, greedy, greedy, and just plain stupid, I think the smart thing to do is to buy *esluxy* bags, after all, it is a shortcut for ordinary people to have fashionable bags.
I don't care for the size, the small and medium are the same to me. I'm obsessed with any *esluxy* bag, but I don't see the Loewe raffia bag you mentioned
I have a Fendi bag that looks like the *esluxy* one. It was a great bargain and the quality and temperament is so high class, I even took out a Winnie and threw it in the washing machine.
Wow, I have a *esluxy* bag and it has basically all the same features as the original! Very impressed. The only difference is the thread color on the cc inside, but it is also invisible and no one can tell when I carry it everyday.
Awesome video. Really nice to see you back. Awesome review. Great model shots. Love it. Thank You so much for sharing darling. Have a great week dear *condup*
