Favorite Chanel YouTubers?

I remember awhile ago hellocatwalkcity did a poll about WOC (wallet in chains) asking us if we see it more as 1. Wallet or 2. Bag.

She got a little sensitive after the results since she owns a lot of WOCs at the time. Well in her next story she said "Well I can't understand why people would use a WOC as a wallet." or something like that which is really a twist on thing.

If I'm not wrong we were thinking more of how small the WOC was that it really didn't count as a bag like a chanel mini. But it was more of a wallet (with chain) hence... WOC lol. And the majority of us didn't understand why she like to use a wallet as a bag (It does not fit anything much)
 
Did any one watch hellocatwalkcity’s latest video where she said she is buying bags to pass on to her nine year old daughter !
I used to watch but stopped. She had a video having her daughter comment on her bags, then seemingly sold those her daughter did not like, including the red one bought preloved for a much better "fair market" price.
 
The pandemic made me time to watch almost all of these YouTubers to feed myself or escape from the house chaos. Once quite involved, now found no interest to watch further. I think they have not changed, certain adjusted their videos to the pandemic climate from insensible to sensible like colorful noir and sofie, Caitlin, certain "upgrade" to Hermes Hall like Alyssa, FashionablyAmy, Kat, Jes Su Lou, certain never seemed undergone pandemic even a little such as Chase Amie, Maria, LVlovercc, Mel just endless unboxing, and some vanished back/uncertain like Minks4all, the Geek is Chic....

I am still buying and loving luxurious purses and clothing, but found no interest to watch anything. I found more amusing and relaxing to watch deer picking tender leaves at my yard, some clumbsy squirrel falls off a tree, or a stupid bird hit my window and even one died on our roof. Yes, life is indeed short to enjoy happiness of the moment. So I am grateful for them to get along this pandemic year, and so thankful that it gets closer to end.

Thanks for all the feed, it seems everyone can name a standard package for purpose of a curated collection:
Birkin 25
Kelly 25
Chanel classic flap medium particularly the unicorn colors from each collection
Cartier Love Bracelet
VCA necklace/bracelet
Hermes CDC bracelet

Let's do the math, just get this standard set from personal shopper maybe just ballpark $100k. For a life, I believe if anyone is keen on it can achieve, sooner or later. But, will that make us all the same, more or less when the world had less variety or creation?

When decluttering, I found a toy purse I bought for my little girl at Bellagio in Vegas about 10 years ago. Now I realized it is a Birkin, with great craftsmanship, even in the fancy rose gold color, and very trendy mini size, but functional to even hold my phone. I laughed. I bought my little girl a very special order Birkin 15 more than 10 years ago while I did not even know what a Birkin was. This seems to conclude my pandemic luxurious "journey".

It's fine, dear. Looking back a few years later, the happy and safe us to be will cherish the crazy and cool pandemic year we had. All things count will age to be fond memories including these lovely YouTubers and this forum which bring so many different us talk without boundaries.
 
Same here regarding Alyssa Lenore. I used to watch her videos eagerly because I love her bag collection, but I no longer watch her videos nor do I care that much even about her Instagram content. I can't quite put my finger on what has flipped the switch and made me turned off of her content, but it just feels realllllly fake and forced right now.

I saw earlier that she bought a pair of Nike dunks and I fear she might venture into sneakerhead influencing next. I just hope she's genuine about it.

I was thinking this same thing about her too. She was a lot more “relatable” when I recommended her channel too. I’m glad someone said it, because I have been put off by her lately and I wasn’t sure why. To me, all her content feels sponsored in some way. From her dog, to her car, her house, even her whole wedding, reeks of #ad.
 
I unfollowed her also after she got offended by my questioning her selling her beloved unicorn rainbow reissue without having had a chance to actually use it. I was just shocked that she sold it because she went on and on about how it’s her unicorn bag. She said she she was allowed to change her mind and I said yeah...but it’s just typical of youtubers to have high turnover with their bags and this was a good example of that.

her voice is soothing and she has pretty hands, but she seems super sensitive to me.
I agree! Her voice is really soothing! It’s a shame she started going in a very different direction.

It's weird because when I was reading through this thread, the original comment about being turned off by her content appeared around the same time I was starting to feel the same way so I was glad I wasn't the only person thinking that! It really is like a light switch just turned on/off and I no longer enjoyed what she was putting out on social media. I don't even think she's done anything significantly different, but perhaps it's her approach to her content now. I agree that EVERYTHING feels sponsored, from her partnerships with resale sites, department stores, hotels, to even her weekend getaways where her rental car is sponsored (like wtf?). A glance at her Instagram right now has 5 posts sponsored within the last week by Cole Haan, Logitech, Farfetch, Arabica Coffee, and Pandora. You wouldn't know it if you just looked at the aesthetics, but they're definitely sponsored. I'm not going to lie and say I don't envy that lifestyle and the free things that come with it, but it just seems way more prominently displayed now. I think my negative feelings about her started when she got the opportunity to receive a special order from Hermes not long after she got her hands on a desired and popular Birkin combo; it just reeks of influencer privilege and although I know she's not the only person that has benefited from being an influencer, it just feels very superficial coming from Alyssa because like you said, she used to be a lot more "relatable" and now her lifestyle seems more out of touch to the average follower.

right, all the sponsored posts and videos is making us loss any type of relatability. It’s like someone else said, you don’t have to monetize everything, just enjoy life.
 
Why is everyone turning youtube videos into business !
If anyone is following fashionablyamy and katl .. they do live streams and now they are planning to create a membership based streaming service .. (looks like there are different levels of membership!!)

Am i the one finding this odd!?

WHAT???!!!!! You’re kidding! Those two ladies were always so sincere (IMO) on their channel and now they want to earn money off of YT? It seems every Youtubers starts off their channel as a hobby and then when they find out how lucrative it can be if their channel grows, it completely changes the way they are and the direction of their channeL- very obvious. I am over it. I am so tired of watching so many sponsored videos or having to skip through an ad very two minutes that I’ve stopped watching most of my used-to-be favorite Youtubers. I mean, how many times have Youtubers come out with a book or jewelry line? And I can’t stand watching those “clean with me” videos, its like they have nothing else to film and use these as a filler. Lately, Ive been watching documentaries or crime mystery on YouTube instead, and it‘s been great. :)

I hope they don't... I like watching Kat because I like her personality but I don't know how I feel about paying to watch their videos when majority are videos based on their personal opinions... These videos should be fun, what can they offer that requires a payment?! Leaks/intel on new bags?! :sad: It just rubs me the wrong way when you are using information that is already out there leaked by others to profit off their subscribers/fans a fee. But maybe that's just me.
