I have to say, I have been dreaming of that bag for years. However, after this video, not so much. £750 and the logo rubs off in a few years? Yeah, not worth it.

Especially when it won’t go up in value. It’s not a bloody Birkin bag! It’s a splurge/treat, not an investment. Evidently they don’t stand the test of time either.
If that’s what you’re looking for, there are plenty of other YouTubers who do look for bargains and are more focused on budget.
Personally, I’m not interested in that, but I do call it like it is when I buy something expensive. It’s simply spending money.
i have a couple of black plain bags like that, but can't believe she's spend so much on something quite plain!
To be fair, she actually sounded like she regrets it. She did say she wouldn't buy many of her bags again and she recommended the Madewell and Everlane totes over this one as better value for money.
yeah fair point!!
Why does she always say “fun fact” when it’s never even remotely fun.
Off topic does anyone know how tall is she? Her legs look so long
Thanks I actually thought she would be taller I'm 5'7 too and consider myself a dwarf
she might really work out her legs then
I think she has a shorter torso and also she’ll pose in certain ways to make her legs look longer, like walking etcThanks I actually thought she would be taller I'm 5'7 too and consider myself a dwarf
^ agreed! She looks normal here, and the way she pose and she has quite slim legs hence why she looks taller i think?
TBF Chanel and Hermes bags do increase in value. If you’d bought a Chanel for, say, a grand in 2010, it would be worth more now even if it had been used although no idea if it would be more than inflation.
I have this bag and love it. It’s a workhorse and great for work commutes. BUT. My logo rubbed off in a few months and the corners are showing wear. I used it everyday for 3 years and wasn’t precious with it, but it’s definitely not worth the price tag. Would recommend Cuyana or Madewell.
The thing with Chanel and Hermes is that, yes, a lot of the styles can be sold for more than you purchased it, especially specific color ways, seasons or leathers. But unless you buy a bag, use it once and then sell it after one season, most of us intend to keep our designer bags for a long time and wear them. I guess it’s also the difference between something “keeping its value” vs appreciating in value; a similar return to what you initially paid (handbag) vs making more money (art, property).

I don’t think something needs to be extravagant just because it’s expensive. I don’t mind spending a lot on a plain bag, that’s just a matter of taste.
Anyone remember the Sophie Hulme bags she used to have? Then she got rid of them all.
But that’s years ago. I don’t have everything I bought in 2011 either. I get tired of things too. Especially things I bought in my 20s.
I bet she called those an investment piece too.

They were very expensive "investment pieces". I still have and love my Mulberry Bayswater I bought 8 years ago. That was an investment in my wardrobe. It was a huge outlay, but I still love it and always feel great when I use it.
She bought the Loewe bag because she was idolising Lizzy at that point, think she is still now with the latest purchase of Celine. God knows which idol of hers bought the YsL bag.
