Welcome to another video! I really hope you enjoy my mini shopping vlog, let me know which bag you're saving for in the comments below! For regular content, follow my instagram page: themonicawa... Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for being so open about how long you were saving for this bag! I 100% agree with you that social media makes it seem like it’s the norm to just go out and purchase a bag that costs thousands of dollars and that it’s so easily accessible. There’s nothing better than saving up for something you’ve been wanting for such a long time! Congrats and enjoy your lovely bag!!
What a kind message! 💓💘 absolutely agree! Of course, it’s wonderful for those that can readily buy luxury without having to even check the price tag 🤣👀💓 , but I do think for the majority of us luxury lovers, it’s about being realistic and spending what we can afford to - and if that means saving for 9-20 (or longer) months for our dream piece , then so be it 😍✨ lots of love and thank you! xx
ThT is gorgous, my first luxury bag and my all time favorites are Fendi's. I use it by top handle that's always my preference. Also wear it as much as you can, my new pouchette goes to grocery store with me. I have loved and used them so much. And Fendi, holds up! Congrats!!
OOOH! I love that one too...a great choice! Yes, its soooo sexy and cute isn't it - but also glam and wearable for any occasion! Enjoy yours my darling xxxx
Congrats and happy birthday!! Gorgeous bag!! I’ve been loving Fendi lately..and eyeing the smaller baguette..🥰.. Love that this bag has a top handle too!
Thank you so much! yes, the smaller one is absolutely adorable and I would like the mini too at some point 🤪🤪 it’s also almost half the price of the standard sized one! Comes with a chain cross body and a little too handle 💓💓 Added to my never ending list 🤪🤪 have a fab day xx
Hi Monica I love this video ❤ congratulations on getting your dream bag and I love the fact you normalize the saving up process as it’s so important and not everyone can afford to buy a designer bag without saving up! My dream bag is a Stella maccartney frayme bucket bag in cream, I haven’t started saving up but I intend too. Loved your earrings gorgeous ❤
Oh love congratulations 🎉 I loooooove this bag! I got the same size in white few months ago and it’s perfect! I wish for a longer strap to wear crossbody but still such a fabulous and wearable bag! Enjoy it… I am also saving for a Chanel so good luck to that too!!!!
Hey!! oh thank you so much!!! ✨✨ oh wow I love the white one too 😍😍😍 Yes, chanel is the next on the cards, keep me updated on yours, would love to see what you go for 😍💓💓💓 xx
The "store" experience is nice but I will buy the bag wherever I can find the best deal. I do not buy pre loved so I always wait to see the department store sales. In the US, Neiman Marcus, Saks, Bloomingdales and Bergdorf Goodman always have good sales. Also, I have bought a few bags on TJmaxx for $300-$400 less than retail.
Finally someone who is honest about what it takes to obtain a ridiculously expensive handbag. Of course I would never imagine having a any item costing that at 27 years old. I didnt have my first luxury bag until I was 45. Now of course at 54 I'm in a better position to buy luxury but still not a bag a week like some influencers.
Thanks for the comment! Yes, totally agree, I think there should be more transparency about this ☺️ during lockdown I didn’t take any holidays or go to many lavish places at all and thus, managed to save this money to purchase myself a very bouji treat. I also work three jobs so have been lucky to have the freedom to save for it. I think it’s certainly a sacrifice and of course, a luxury to own anything costing this much. x
The only issue with saving for months for a bag is if it's a trendy bag and not a classic it may become discontinued or sold out. It may be a limited edition.
Thanks so much! Yes I have - I find its perfect as a day bag, but also can be dressed up so easily for an evening top handle bag! I have lots of pics on my IG if you're looking for some examples xxxxx
