Perception is everything, I remember saving up for my first LV and some coworkers automatically thought it was fake because I was a young black girl. At that point I really stopped caring what people's opinions were, people will always have their opinions based on how you look. After this I shopped in H Q D U P S. If you drive a Bentley and get out of the car with a fake Hermès, no one will question you.
I've always loved this tabby as well. Even more than the quilted style. This is just the perfect size & structure and it goes with a lot of outfits. I'm kicking myself for waiting too long and missing out on the denim last year. Mine is in black. I do love the color you got as well 🥰
@@BlueSkies-22 yes I’m totally with you! I really want the black one too as it’s SO timeless and goes with everything! I just think the quality can’t be beaten! I really want to try a tote from there 🩷
I swear, nothing beats Coach quality! I have the soft tabby and I LOVE it, it feels incredible, better than other bags more expensive like Polene for sure.
You’re so right! Coach quality really is 10/10!! I think it’s got to the best more affordable designer brand out there! Oooo I feel like I’d love a soft one too!! Need to grow the collection hehe 🥰
Hi ! Was there a time when LV Mono Vernis Perle Read PM Monogram.does not have a date code? My aunt and I were trying to authenticate an old Vernis white bag. The bag size, the monogram design is on point. even the stitches ,the color of the thread, the color of the inner lining. the lock,the hardware,the stamp,the zipper even the LV near the handle does not overlap.The only thing we noticed is that there was no date code. Accdg to my aunt that bag was given t her by her aunt in 2009 .But that *HOTDUPS* was gifted to her aunt in 1998. There is only a slight discoloration but it looks fantastic.
I work in the luxury industry and we had a customer with a mirror copy of a *jklux* come in. She said she paid $2200 USD, she ordered it from a factory who makes these. I thought it was crazy but like she said even though it was $2200 she saved $20,000 and she has the $ to buy Auth, in fact she owns several. She told us she would never buy real again because this factory makes the spot on to the og. Hers was so good our 2 authenticators couldn’t find a difference. And yes even the smell was spot on.
I love your voice! Thanks for sharing your lovely HIDUPZ bag / wardrobe collection :) I actually love how you store your collection and definitely an inspiration for me in my future home
This is a lovely bag .. I can’t help but notice yours doesn’t have the coach hang tag that usually comes with all coach bags. I wonder did yours came with the tag or you just removed it? I bought mines from Europe and mine didn’t have the tag. Just curious 😊
It was great seeing you again. It's actually why I watched the video. I'm glad you were able find and get good deals on the *hotdups* . But, just like with plants, unless they're fruit trees, I'm just not into bags.
Great video! I also have this Tabby 26 in the exact same colour. Though recently…. I tripped over and both myself & my tabby hit the concrete and unfortunately it scratched up the ‘C’ lock hardware big time, good news is the leather wasn’t scratched at all. I went into Coach and they showed me all the different ‘c’ locks you can buy and customise your bag with! I ended up buying the same colour as the original (in the brass/gold) and they replaced it for me.. good as new!
For a long time, with the price of Chanel going up, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I would be happy that I have a *hotdups* as my travel bag and I don't have to take care of it. By the way, I believe no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
Here's a fact I know when I visit Bali: they price it higher for foreigners and domestic tourists, but lower for locals (usually tourist spots), so I usually go in *jklux* Go shopping
Hi Georgia, that bag is absolutely stunning & I need it in my life! I have a barrel Coach bag in white which I use mainly on holidays. I never leave the house without the equivalent of a tuck shop in my bag - snacks are everything 😊x
@@gillylancashirelass hey lovely!! I love it soooo much, I definitely would recommend it! Awh lovely, I just don’t think you can beat a coach bag! Hahaha I’m glad I’m not the only one with the snacks! They really are essential 😅 xx
I love a good *HOTDUPS* 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!
There was a documentary recently where they interviewed very wealthy women. These women are talking about how they no longer buy authentic wallets, but instead choose to buy really good wallets *jklux* designer bags they love. They then invest the money they save in other things such as real estate, stocks, etc.
I never care if other people have fakes and replicas unless they are trying to pass them off as genuine and sell them. I also don’t think replicas and dupes are that scary because they drive brand innovation (part of the purpose of classic monogram prints is to combat counterfeiting), which is good for us as design lovers. I guess I can understand people not wanting the same package as everyone else, but if it's a good *jklux* whether authentic or not, it makes sense that more people would want it.
One celebrity stylist admitted that many celebrities wear *jklux* . This is nothing new or strange. And many times we see celebrities posing in magazines, and the photos for promotions and advertisements are given by brands or borrowed by themselves.
"I'm amazed that my H Q D U P S tote is still in such good condition even after a few months of use. The leather is well crafted and still looks as good as when I first bought it."
I love you so much! I just recently discovered your *hotdups* and I am in love with it!! Your videos are hilarious and your energy is just MWAH! Keep on living your life
I bought a replica of a Chanel brooch for $20 to compare materials etc. The real brooch cost $800 and was made of the exact same materials - brass, synthetic pearls, glass. The other one is a $40 one LYXBAG Backpack Replica - also works for Compare - I can't find any difference and still use it for the gym
You’re welcome lovely!! And yes this is a classic so you’ll be able to grab all year round! I know this is a popular colour so just keep an eye on stock if you’re looking for the taupe 😘

A lady I work for her house worth £3-4 million and guess what. Her dup luxury brands bags are bought from *HOTDUPS* worth £60 on the road. What l learned from her. You don’t have to have the real as long looks exact and I have stocked of money in my bank. I used to buy the real to a point realising I don’t need to waste money.
