I have the fendi peekaboo in the mini and it’s literally my all time favorite bag! (Have all the others as well minus the Gucci. Chanel is my least favorite because it’s heavy and straps are not the most comfortable even though it is beautiful!) xo
Louis Vuitton ones are OBVIOUSLY my favorite and so glad your channel is more LV based. What a fantastic brand. also your videos are addicting! love watching them SO much!
I like the Gucci Marmont. Your love of it has put it at the top of my list! I have both Louis Vuitton’s and the Chanel jumbo, and agree with your ratings all the way around!
My favorite is the Chanel. It is my unicorn and on the 2018 list of the must haves I’d like to add to my collection. I really only want one Chanel (well a wallet on a chain too, but it’s not a must like the flap). My favorite handbag that I own is my LV Neverfull in DE. It is worry free, holds a ton and it’s the first (of many) LV my fiancé purchased for me. Thanks for tye information on the single vs double flap as well as I am totally torn. I think I will get the double now tho; it’s what I was leaning more towards and this is kinda confirmation. Another great video. Thanks for sharing.
If you guys wanna get your hands on the LV pochette metis, I suggest going on their webstore at about 12midnight gmt. I managed to get mine 2 months back through the webstore (by luck!!) and every day after then, i pop by at 12ish to check if the PM is available and on most occasions, YESSS!!! hope this helps!
Great advice. I got mine in Australia by following the advice from Minnie, miks4all, and stalking the LV website. I checked it morning and night for 7 months, and finally one night the button had changed from "call to purchase" to "add to shopping cart" and I pounced on it. You do really have to want one to go through all that, but I actually enjoyed it. The thrill of the chase I guess.
I plan on saving up to get myself one, and am realizing it’s a hard one to get. I’m thrilled I saw this suggestion. It’s 100% safe to order online tho? I’d be horrified of someone opening the box and stealing.
Because of your video I purchased the Apple guard. I’m so happy & used it on a bag I bought my daughter. (The delightful mm in mono) It has remained beautiful. She is in college & loves her bag, but may not be as cautious as I am, so I’m happy I protected it.
Love this video, Shea! One thing you didn't mention was the weight of each bag. I find I love the way a bag looks but then once I put things in it, it gets heavy fast, especially leather! Can you tell us how heavy the bag are? Thanks!x
You were talking about those Facebook groups and I’m actually a part of the David Yurman addict pages and I LOVE it. I bought my first Yurman piece last year on that group and saved almost $200 dollars. You’re right they are great groups. I’m a jewelry addict. Lol
LOVE your collection! But you had me nervous for a second, the Gucci actually does come in a Large - then Med/Small/Mini ... You’ve just helped me get off the fence about it 😊💕 Great reviews!
I couldn't agree with you more on all of your assessments! The speedy b 30 in DE has been SUCH a great bag - I just don't take it out anymore because I find it too big to wear crossbody so I just use it as a shoulder bag which I don't find as flattering on my petite frame. Now - a speedy b in 25 DE? I've got my 👀 on that! LOL - For now, though, the Pochette Metis was my favorite bag of 2017! Even over my 🍊Kelly!
I just got the SpeedyB 25 last week and it's the PERFECT size for crossbody. You might be able to trade your 30 with someone on the LV Addicted Facebook page who has a 25 and thinks it's too small. Just a thought :)
I totally would have traded it years ago! But I got it in 2013 and it was my first designer bag gifted by my husband so for sentimental reasons I will never part with it :)))) Just have to save up!!
Our LV store (Ross Park) still has a wait list on the Pochette Metis mono. I just walked in there one afternoon & they had just put a Reverse in the case! 😍 I snatched that puppy up! My SA said that they just caught up on that wait list. Score! I love it!
Loved this! Such beautiful bags. I just recently got the Favorite MM and it is SO good! I go back and forth between the favorite and my neverfull :) I stalked the LV website everyday and it finally came back in stock for a few hours around Christmas time. Xo
Love this. I have the Pochette Metis and love it but currently its my only luxury bag. By the way I sprayed it with the Apple Garde and so far so good. But, if I were to choose I'd go with the Chanel Jumbo as my favorite its timeless and as you pointed out only goes up in value.
Can you please do a video on bag care, pros and cons for different types of leather and wear and tear? I would like to buy a higher end designer bag eventually but there is so many different types of leather and I don’t want to ruin a bag that I’ve spent thousands of dollars on. It’s a little overwhelming.
Love all of them! Wich is the "apple guard/garde" spray you mention? The strap on my never full looks dirty and I have no idea how to clean it. You should do a video on how to clean your bags :)
For everyday use without having to style or worry about where I’m taking the bag (like on public transit) I would prefer the fendi peekaboo, I have loved that bag since it first came out with the monster eyes, but your combo choice is what I would want for work and play. I really regret my Chloe mini Marcie bag and my LV Felicia (I think that’s the name) I really should never buy on impulse
I recently discovered your channel and binged a bunch of your videos before bed. I dreamed that I bought a Chanel bag I've been eyeing in real life, and woke up panicked that I actually bought it without my husband knowing :)
I don’t have it anymore, I treat like hell. My favorite all time bag is my Boston bag All Weather leather Dooney bag I bought in 1976. It was between a speedy 25 LV that cost less or the Leather Dooney. I bought the Dooney. I have a 30 Speedy check bag now. I have to baby it. LV can not take a beating like a Dooney bag. I grab my new Dooney’s, MCM, couch bags. I do not have to worry about them being stolen, or their tuffness.
My top 4 fav hand bags are 4. Givenchy Antigona in black smooth leather.. I like to wear it with combat boots in the winter and I scored it on Fashionphile for $1800 (STEAL) 3. LV Metist hobo . the original which the Pochette was made after , it is now discontinued (sad face) 2. Gucci Marmont in the bubble gum pink from 2016... LOVE that. purse she is SO pretty sometimes I just stare at her and serenade her with my guitar. 1. My Christian Dior diorever is the metallic silver crackle with he white handles. I had to buy her preloved because by the time I saved up enough money for her she was no longer available. I have yet to wear her but when I do ALL BETS ARE OFF. OF COURSE I LOVE YOUR CHANEL AND THE CROSS BODY BAGS.. I die
I have to say the Chanel is my favorite I think because it’s my holy grail bag. I can’t wait to finally be able to add it to my collection. Since I don’t have one it’s really a tie for me between the speedy b 25 and Neverfull. But I think Speedy is #1👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I TOLD you the motion of opening the double flap becomes second nature!!! So glad you have that classic in your collection now. Ps! I’m sure plenty of people will start using the “Shea Rating” from now on 😂😂😘😘❤️
Loved the video! The Pochette Metis is my favorite - because mine I got in Paris on a surprise weekend trip with my husband last spring! It was a fantastic trip and a wonderful memory. Plus it’s a fantastic bag. 😊
Gucci actually has some pop up outlets launching for a limited time throughout the US. I just did a video on it. Feel free to check it out on my channel!
Coming here from Alex Garza’s video and now you have me debating between a speedy and neverfull 😅😩 I used to think without a doubt my first Louie purchase would be a neverfull in ebene but now seeing your speedy with the strap I am in love 😍
Hi: my favorite bag is the Speedy 25 Monogram- I use a vintage monogram strap while gives me freedom while shopping. I love your Speedy too but might look for a shoulder bag👜 what do you recommend on the preloved market?
Your content is out of this world. Don't know how you do it all but you're my FAVE luxury RU-vid gal! I'm lusting after the peekaboo after seeing yours 🙈
Great comparison video on your favorites. My favorite bag would have to be the Speedy 30b. I’m saving to buy one and hopefully I’ll have enough money the next few months. Chanel is way out of my price range. Have a great day. 😍
Hello Shea! Thank you so much for the shout out! I truly appreciate it and love your videos! You do such a fabulous job! This was so helpful and informative! Thanks to all those who joined my groups because of Shea! I hope you’re all enjoying yourselves and finding some incredible bags/deals! Admin Ky
Love them all, great choice. I do love the Speedy B 30 only because I have it and it’s just so easy. But my favourite from your collection is the Fendi Peekaboo, I do want it but I just can’t justify the price right now. Love your videos! 😊
You have such an amazingly good taste for bags! They're ALL beautiful, but I'd say my favorite is the Gucci Marmont. I think it's the perfect bag! Sooo beautiful, versatile and classy. The only down side of it for me, actually of designer handbags in general, is that they're only made of genuine leather and they don't have options made of vegan "leather" for who is a vegan like me... I know some designers are investing in making vegan bags, but until now, the styles which are vegan are not my favorite ones... I hope Gucci makes a vegan Gucci Marmont in the future ;) Always love your videos, Shea!
Love this video! Would love to see a video about more off-beat designer bags that are cool but not as mainstream and maybe more affordable. There are brands like Kooba, Botkier, and Mulberry that are great alternatives for people who want designer but something not everyone has or knows about. I got an angled trigger Botkier bag that I love and use more than my Chanel, LV and Celine bags.
Great video, Shea. Your rating system gave us an excellent way to compare apples to apples. Nice job. My all-time favorite handbag is my Lady Dior in the beige patent leather with gold hardware, in the large size. This bag wins for me on appearance because it's a stunner, and also for value because I bought it pre-loved in like new condition from Fashionphile at a "steal" price -- 1/3 of the current retail. My favorite among your top bags: My head tells me that the jewel of your collection is your Chanel Jumbo from an all-around and investment perspective. But my heart goes hands down to the Peekaboo. I'm a sucker for bags that are not so ubiquitous. Your Peekaboo -- well that's a stand-out.
i bought the apple guard spray as well, I want to know how often should you spray the guard? Mine has been sprayed going on 7 months. Do you need to re spray after a certain amount of time?
Tania N- I have been saving for a Chanel M/L Classic Flap. But they all changed when I saw Shea unbox the Fendi Peekaboo. Now that’s gonna be my next bag 😍
Love the idea of the rating system! I'm biased so my favorite bag of yours is definitely the Chanel Jumbo, closely followed by the Pochette Metis (which I cannot believe I don't own yet). I also this year would love to get a Chanel Trendy CC at some point even though the price makes me cry!
You can build it with some amazing deals from Gucci. Gucci actually has some pop up outlets launching for a limited time throughout the US. I just did a video on it. Feel free to check it out on my channel!
Looovvved this video. Your choices are awesome. For some reason I thought you had a mini Palm Springs also. But you were the reason I bought my Neverfull and Speedy 30 so I love your advice.
Facebook market place in my area has Chanel bags for sale what would you suggest in regards to buying a bag off there? What should I look for as far as buying an authentic bag.
Hey Shea! Quick question about the Gucci Marmont ! Do you wear it mostly crossbody? Have you noticed the top of the bag starts to get like pointy or creased from wearing it crossbody? I l really want this bag but That is the one thing stopping me . Thanks for a great video!
Hello Shea, how are you? I pray all is super Spectacular for you today... can you let me know where I can get some of the Apple Garden Spray from? I have several Louis Vuittons bags, a Chanel Petit Tote, & several other designer handbags. I really need to treat my LV handles & trim. Thank you so much.
Amazon sells the appleguard spray. Gucci actually has some pop up outlets launching for a limited time throughout the US. I just did a video on it. Feel free to check it out on my channel!
Hi Shea, I just want to comment on one thing, the Gucci Marmont medium that you have is actually not the largest size. There is another size above that which is the large size. Love your channel!
Shea, Im looking into getting the Gucci one but I'm torn between the medium or the small nude Gucci (wondering which I will use more) this being my very first designer bag I want to get the most use out of it. In your opinion is the larger Gucci marmot a tad bit too big to wear as a crossbody? I KNOW I would love the size as an everyday bag but I wa looking at this particular marmot bcz of its versatility. I'm wondering if (although much smaller than I would like) If I would get more use out the smaller one???
You should go for the medium! Small bags are trendy right now! Medium is timeless! Gucci has a few pop up outlets across the US so be sure to check them first before buying! Just did a video on it. Feel free to check it out! Xo Brooke Alexandra
I have the speedy B in the size 25 as well as the favorite and they are at the top of my list too! Love your videos and all your bag choices! The scoring system is such a good idea!
Hi Shea, your videos are so much fun to watch! You’re really putting up great content. I’ve got a question. I know the Pochette Metis and your Gucci Marmont are different but do you feel they hold the same amount of items? Which one would you choose to take to work if you could? I’m saving for one of them for my birthday this summer, so I’m doing my research. Thanks a bunch! 😊
Love love all your bags but I love your Gucci Marmont the best! I actually came across your channel from the addicted group as well! ❤️ So proud to have been your subie and addicted member for quite a while 😘 Thanks for such an informative video!!!
Loved this video the speedy 30 is a classic for good reason, and I would like to thank you for 2 of your recommendations 1) Vincera Collective watch beautiful 2) Ardency inn liner the best better than my urban decay 24/7 liner. Thank you
All bags are beautiful! I have the speedy b 30 in ebene as well & I love it... wearing it today! In Canada they do have a larger size than the medium in the marmont nude... it’s called the “large”, but I do believe Gucci’s sizes vary in different countries because in Mexico they don’t carry the large either. Great vid as always!
i have been trying to decide whether i want to buy the Gucci Marmont matlasse and you have definitely have convinced me! Dark hair looks amazing on you btw.
