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?! 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.

Am not sure about what they are going to offer, looks like they will discuss some private topics with membership group and even answer their questions first . They will reveal More informatiom in upcoming video
..
Please watch first few minutes of this video

It doesn't seem like they really know what they are going to offer. I agree with you though, I don't get why youtubers are trying to turn it into a business... I stopped watching a lot of youtubers for this reason.

Do you have any Chanel youtubers that you like to watch?

I follow sophie shohet, maria draganova, Romina Rose May (she vlogs new collection) , sasa zoe, mel in melbourne - previous posts might have few more recommendations

I agree with you. I watch a lot of live streamers and they sometimes solicit donations, but they are going to different locations and countries and touring locations and actually working for several hours to show you stuff in various cities and events. They make a lot of money through Patreon and subscriptions and private streams, but that makes more sense than charging to hear personal opinions. Super strange. And these two women don't even have that many subscribers to be charging for anything. I have watched their videos in the past but never their joint videos. Neither one appeals to me.

I'm curious if between the price increases (not just Chanel but many companies) and the recent scandal around Tamara if luxury youtubers will die down a bit. I'm not sure the latter will really affect things long term, I recall there being some speculation when Kim Kardashian dealt with her robbery as well but she went back to business as usual.

I did find it interesting how many youtubers were making videos about that this week. I didn't watch many but I have felt like recently the videos I see listed are always saying the same thing. "Tired of quality issues? Buy these! (probably sponsored cheaper bags)" "How to be safe and buy luxe!" "Price increases and why it's not a bag thing!" (always stated by people who have an extensive or complete collection lol)

I used to really liked Isabelle's style and I do appreciate her curation videos for other bag collectors, but I feel she has gone back and forth too much on being complete with her collection and buying tons of random stuff. To each their own, but I do feel weird about that given the past year created an entire market of resellers taking over. I recently discovered the Real Shakeen and her videos tend to be long, but they're casual and not over produced so they are nice when doing chores or cooking.

I used to watch a lot of the Youtubers you mentioned here; but yes, I also found myself watching less of Alyssa Lenore, Hello Catwalk City, Jes Suis Lou… a while back I stopped watching hauls altogether. I am still subscribed to them but very rarely watch them: Mel in Melbourne, Jerusha Couture, MelSoldera…
Now, I mainly watch Amelia Rose’s Closet, Dayle’s Addiction, Caitlin Pawlowski, Colorful Noir, Sophie Shohet, and sometimes Kat L, and SuperDacob. I also join Kat and Amy’s Luxury Live Show if the topic interests me. I missed Minnie so I’m hoping her weekly Q&A will come back. I noticed she’s bought a lot of stuff since taking a break and it’s not what appeals to me atm.

Indeed, YouTube has become business compared to say 10years ago? It was so organic back then. (I started off youtube in makeup tutorials. Think xteener and Michelle Phan).

Fashionablyamy and Melinmelbourne (just as I can recall for now) - I personally don't feel their style. They are merely topping on lux items without their own unique charm. Sorry I don't get it.

I feel more authenticity here in PurseForum than from youtubers.

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!!)

also soo many resellers (like redeluxe) on youtube showcasing and selling bags ..
Am i the one finding this odd!?

I am not against people that make their money but when I see youtubers who notice their subscriber numbers increasing they seem them as dollar bills.

It’s very off-putting to me, and also comes off as tacky.

All of a sudden they look like drug addicts that are trying to make money to get their fix. These women turned this from a simple hobby about luxury shopping to a business that helps support their luxury shopping.


I enjoy those two ladies but I’m not gonna pay money to listen to them, they’re not professionals and don’t speak like professionals either.

I used to watch her and actually recommended her in this thread but I had to unfollow. It became clear her actions did not align with what she says about being a minimalist.

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.

This “profession” is not for the overly sensitive, obviously. These people seem to be in living in such a PC bubble that they go on a power trip when they hit a certain subscriber/viewer count on YouTube they think they can cry foul on anything and will know they’ll have online bullies who’ll have their back.

It’s pathetic to me when some of these youtubers think they can get away with anything once they become popular.

Your comments reminded me of something this lovely lady said. It starts at around 13:58 and she speaks the truth on this subject.

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)

I was one of those people that thought of a WOC as a bag, until I started working and realized I needed a bigger bag that housed my car keys, my keys to the front gate, front door, my iPad, my AirPods case, my phones, a small first aid kit (I work as a lab tech and I’m a little clumsy so I need some ointments with me like Fucidin and Mebo, lol), a small lunch box, room for papers I need to carry with me in case I have to do some field work …

I’ve encountered women like her that seem sweet until you disagree with them. It’s like they feel like the whole world revolves around them and what they do and say is the be all and end all.

I’ve recently been interested in the Gucci diana bag and am planning to buy a vintage one. So while searching for videos on the bag on YouTube I stumbled upon her video talking about about how she wasn’t fully satisfied with her latest purchase (the GUCCI diana).

Someone in the comments section told her maybe this was a sign that she should stick to the Senreve bags she’s been shoving down our throats so much lately. Lol.

Thanks so much for linking this video.. she is absolutely 1000% correct

I’m not a fan of Super Dacob. His videos are so long and he doesn’t get straight to the point. No time for that. Something about his personality strikes me as insincere. Much prefer other YouTubers.

I’ve only watched his commentary on the purseonfleek hermes video drama and he did good research on the video and Mel’s shady side hustles.

I thought I’d give his other videos a try but I couldn’t go on since he speaks as if he’s teaching 5 year olds about luxury … I take it he’s not a native English speaker? There’s something I don’t fully enjoy about his vids.

Oh I got a great laugh out of this! Yes suddenly everyone is saying Senreve and Coach are better quality than all luxury except Hermès like they all just recently discovered these accesible brands and will only buy that except for the “final boss” for many purse fans of Hermès, please. I appreciate that they’re trying to make videos about all price points but it feels disingenuous and wasteful, if you really only like Chanel or LV or whatever just buy that. I hate the marketing tactic of senreve sending their stuff to everyone.

one other thought I had was if she is just selling or returning things after unboxing. It would be convenient to have a product to showcase to then say there’s an issue or it didn’t fit her lifestyle but she still got the ad revenue from having people watch her discuss it. I don’t know, I’m a bit jaded now I guess.

as for the other comment i made about every YouTube video having the same rotation of topics lately, I noticed Nordstrom anniversary sale picks was on of them. Curious if they’re paying people to make their selections too. I noticed This from less popular people as well such as Sasa Zoe and Chic Maven.

Definitely I see youtubers all doing similar picks on shoes, and shirt jackets. I'm pretty sure they are paid because they are also doing giveaway $100 gift cards as well!!! Everything seems like a huge ad campaign now watching youtube.
