I’ve been enjoying Charming Kat. I think her channel is pretty new. She is so fun and unpretentious.

Tbh, I have unsubscribed to many of the “popular” Youtubers to include Mel in Melbourne, LVLoverCC, Alyssa Lenore, HelloCatWalkCity, Isabelle Styles, Kat L, FabulouslyAmy etc. because I find that they are just all the same. Same sponsors, same content, same everything. It all gets too repetitive and redundant and quite frankly, boring. I still continue to watch IntheFrow, SusieBonaldi (?) etc. because their channels are not all about unboxings, but have noticed that as of late, I’ve been watching more smaller channels as I feel they are more authentic and relatable.

I have done the same. A lot of the youtubers You’ve mentioned have been promoting these, what I call: faux luxury. Lol.

Isabelle especially irks me when she does those few minutes talking about how much she LOVES her senreve bag that she’s used for a 15 minute trip to the grocery store while waiting for her new GUCCI bag to arrive and then seemed to throw it away once advertising time was over and almost salivating as she unboxed her luxury bag.

Its as if they’re insulting us “peasants” by shoving these cheaply made bags down our throats just to make money off us and those companies so they can buy their high end luxury bags …

What do people think of the recent Ana Luisa collabs with these Youtubers? There seems to be a lot of these recently.

I remember “Colourful Noir” used to advertise the heck out of this brand, lol. And the main theme of her channel was to promote mindful, less shopping.

I wasn’t as privy to these “sale Tactics” by some of these brands back then.
But now I’ve stopped watching all youtubers that promote these generic brands.

And every one of them with detachable pearl?

I make 6 figs, and well into the 6 figures, and I’m in my 30s and single. I live in LA which is an expensive city to live in, but I have minimal bills. I still could not afford a Chanel or Hermès bag every other week. And I wouldn’t want to, because are you even enjoying and using your bags if you get a new one every week? It’s just conspicuous consumption.

I don’t like that a lot of youtubers say they work full time and that is how they can afford $10k+ in bags a month. Many people make big salaries, work full time, save, etc and still cannot afford $10k+/mo on bags. It’s obviously family or husband money, crazy YouTube/social media earnings, or debt. It is so unrealistic and can make people who don’t know better feel bad about their own situation because they cannot buy a Chanel bag every month even though they work full time.

I wish there was a shift in our culture to more of enjoying what you have instead of focusing on what you don’t.

I also used to like je suis Lou, but her buying rate keeps getting more unrealistic. I went to private school and now I go to uni and know people her age from really wealthy families and people who work while at uni but none of them would be able to buy at her rate. Even if she works how high of a salary would an undergraduate at the age of 24 be given realistically in Mexico? Something doesn’t add up. I don’t mind those who don’t want to disclose everything but Lou is lying to her audience which is why I no longer support her as I feel I can’t trust her

AL just bought another Birkin during her trip to Paris even though I do recall months prior she said she wasn't going to hop on the Hermes bandwagon.

The amount of bags rotating in and out of her collection has gotten ridiculous; 3 Hermes bags in less than a year! And she put in an SO earlier this year too so she's still waiting for that one.

Who’s that?

Did you watch her video? She was not able to purchase a bag in Paris. She purchased it from ReBag after.
Edit: she was offered a blue Kelly and a gray Lindy in Paris and declined both.

Alyssa Lenore

Oh, I remember trying to watch a couple of her videos(probably searching for review videos on LV bags)… I found her too…bland. Couldn’t even get myself to finish watching the videos.

I recall on a gossip site that she’s become one of those “sponsored” influencers, lol.

I guess her transitioning to Hermès is like many of us bad lovers who transition to certain brands (I never thought I’d buy Gucci or fendi bags but my eyes opened to their vintage pieces and I was hooked!)… she probably thinks she’s finally made it in the “YouTube influencer game” and is trying to keep up with her peers.

even if I had the money I wouldn’t even buy that many bags.It’s just ridiculous

I didn’t even realize Paris was allowing American visitors right now. I find Alyssas content very one note, I haven’t watched in a while.

I personally dislike all the partnerships with redeluxe and Rebag. In my experience they aren’t actually helping people get bags they may otherwise not be able to afford new, but contributing to a vicious reseller issue. Even if they don’t always have the newest bag of the season (though I have seen this too), they are crazy expensive. It seems gone are the days of scoring a great pre loved deal, and i feel this is in part due to pandemic and influencer partnerships

You make an excellent observation. This is why I feel nervous when a popular lux YouTuber showcases a vintage bag … I worry the preloved websites will raise the bag prices …
I have only recently started purchasing luxury bags (many preloved) and although I can score good quality preowned bags locally in my country through Instagram/Facebook pages that sell preowned bags … I’ve noticed the prices on fashionphile are ridiculous and only recently did I find out that their prices weren’t as high as they are now.
