Oooo the Picotin is one of the few Hermès bags I actually like thw look of, but the style is quite different for me, so would be good to road-test before jumping in! 🤩

@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle 3 месяца назад

Definitely give it it a try. It’s such a cute bag!

@littleluxuries_435 3 месяца назад

I’ve seen the Tiffany & Fred bags on Gilt and wondered if they are worth it! So glad to hear that their version of the Picotin is worthwhile!!!❤

@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle 3 месяца назад

I had no idea they were on Gilt. Wonder if the pricing is different. Will definitely have to check it out. Thx for the tip babe!

@MsEasyBeautiful 3 месяца назад

I would love the birkin comparison with the Tiffany and Fred one

@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle 3 месяца назад

I’ll take a look at it. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thank you for the review. I was looking at a few bags recently and wondered about the quality

@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle 3 месяца назад

Glad I could help. For me, they’re worth the price.

Great comparison of the two handbags, Lisa. The Tiffany and Fred is definitely my speed as far as cost goes. I’m happy that it is a good quality and doesn’t smell like chemicals. I love your description of the strap that is part of the closure. So technical, lol. Sounds just like what I would call it. You are so funny. I hope that you reach your goal of 4 thousand subscribers really soon. Your channel is awesome and you deserve to celebrate. 🥳🥳🥳

@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle 3 месяца назад

Awwww, thank you so much Patty! And yes, strap thingymabob is a very technical term 😂🤣

Catching up on videos, i am so excited to see this i want to get a tiffany and fred bag

@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle 3 месяца назад

Definitely give them a try Jackie! I think they’re great for the price and such a great way to try a style

@user-tz1zx8br2c Месяц назад

The variety of textures in the H Q D U P S pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.

@AgathaCunningham 3 месяца назад

HEY *yutulux*!! I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day

I went down the rabbit hole with Tiffany and Fred bags after watching this video and other youtubers videos. Not impressed with their bags. I don't know if its because I bought them from Ruelala (and maybe Ruelala gets the bags with minor defects?). Firstly they were all final sale with no returns but nowhere during the purchasing process was that stated. It was only stated on the packing slip, which means I can't return them. I ordered 3 bags: 1. The exact colour "picotin" in this video 2. Bottega small andiamo dupe 3. Chanel dupe 1. Picotin: at first I was happy with it, the lock did have a slight scratch but not significant. But on closer inspection, there were 2 spots of glue or glazing on the front. When I tried to get it off, whatever the finish that they put on it peeled off showing the white underneath. Whatever the coating is, it is very thin and makes me question if this is even a real leather bag. Anyway, I bought the bag to see if I would like a top handle only bag and the answer is no so I'm glad I bought this instead of ordering the real one only to find out it doesn't work for me. 2. Andiamo: the top handle was scratched/abraded, luckily not obvious as the bag was black and the abraded part was still black. 3. Chanel: the flap was obviously uneven, longer on the right than on the left. Lol, maybe they copied a wonky flapped real Chanel. And quality/finish of "leather" and chain were meh quality. The worst finish/quality out of the 3 bags. These bags weren't exactly cheap and I bought them on the basis they were real leather but I have serious doubts. Could probably buy bags the same quality as these on other websites for far cheaper.

I’m sorry to hear your order wasn’t what you’d hoped. I didn’t order mine from Rue la la. As I mentioned in the video, the glazing on mine is not great, but many people have told me theirs was fine. Guess there’s a bit of inconsistency. At least the picotin dupe helped you realized the style isn’t for you. And honestly I think that is one of the big reasons I would buy one of these 💜

@SkinCareGal0303 3 месяца назад

What a great comparison! Thank you! Does the dupe come in a larger size? This size seems a little small for my liking.

@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle 3 месяца назад

From what I see, the bags are all the 18 size. But honestly you can get a lot on this bag. I originally thought about getting the pictotin 22 but then watched a couple of videos and realized the 18 was plenty roomy.

I’m surprised they’re not sued for the IP. 🤣 Fun comparison! 💙

@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle 3 месяца назад

I’m definitely not an IP lawyer, but I’m guessing a bag like this would be difficult to patent. It’s such a simple bag and there aren’t any trademark infringements since it doesn’t say Hermes. But it’s crazy how many look alike bags this store has.

@xeracalm2023 3 месяца назад

Fashion is constantly copied. Basically every single fashion builds on another. It is why in a season you can go and see Steve Madden basically throwing out Hermes Oran sandals - at least in american copyright law it has been an area for a long time that you can copy a fashion style as long as you are not labeling it as say Hermes Oran sandals.

@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle 3 месяца назад

@xeracalm2023 OMG I literally replied to your other comment saying the same thing. They all “inspire” each other

@AgathaCunningham 3 месяца назад

i love you so much! I recently just found your *yutulux* and i’m in love!! Your videos are so fun and you energy is just MWAH! keep living your life

@jessicamiller1780 3 месяца назад

Returned the Amazon one too lol

@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle 3 месяца назад

Glad to know I wasn’t the only one. Honestly I don’t think I’ve returned an item so quickly as that. Took one look and feel at it out of the box and right back in it went. 😂🤣

@ShweMyaukMyauk 3 месяца назад

For those who owned Hermes they will know nothing else can compete, only downside for H is the price and scarcity

@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle 3 месяца назад

I agree and disagree. I own Hermes and love my picotin. But I also really like this. Given my low buy this year, there are other bags that I would rather buy. This is a great look for less and if I want to get another picotin next year from boutique, I can pursue that then.

@user-yj5tt3jx5x 3 месяца назад

The pictures on their website show glazing on top edge

@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle 3 месяца назад

I tried zooming in to see if I could tell but I couldn’t. I’ll have to try to look again.

@jesslyn7032 3 месяца назад

On the Hermes, it is not suede on the inside, but it's actually just the raw side of the hide

@kokleilze7391 3 месяца назад

I looked at the Tiffany and Fred website . This bag was $369 on their website. Not the $160 you have been saying. Still considerably less than Hermes.

@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle 3 месяца назад

Make sure you’re using the link in the description box. I bought mine from the outlet. It’s $199 right now. When I bought mine, they were running an additional 15% off.

@WyeChengChong-ql7lr 3 месяца назад

They don’t ship outside of the US. 😥

@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle 3 месяца назад

I’m sorry! That’s no fun!😞

@jesslyn7032 3 месяца назад

It's because the dude is top grain leather and that's why they put a line on the inside still real leather, but it's not it's the lower of all leather cow

@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle 3 месяца назад

Interesting. Thanks for sharing!

@wendymartin6479 3 месяца назад

@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle 3 месяца назад

Why buying a dupe?

@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle 3 месяца назад

I bought it to compare and also because I love my black one so much I wanted another color. Since I’m only buying 4 luxury handbags this year, this was a good option to get the look for less.

@AmelaMital Месяц назад

I know people who own so many really luxury brands, but they live in their mom's house. I own a house, drive a Lexus, and I do buy stuff *gtdupe* to put money in my pocket.
