Same way I feel about young people getting plastic surgeries wth are they gonna do when they’re like....oh I don’t know, 32? :biggrin:

I agree with all of this so much.

I don’t understand getting a Birkin/Kelly right out of the gate and unboxing in a YouTube channel. When I see these really young ladies in college carrying Birkins... it just makes me wonder... well what happens next? You already got the penultimate bag, where does your channel really go from here? I’m probably not explaining myself well, but... I don’t know how you really run a channel when a year into this social media career you’re unboxing the final level against Bowser, so to speak.

A very relatable and great youtuber is chicprofessor. She buys almost exclusively preloved and not like the brand new preloved kind either; she buys bags that have wear and sometime are missing straps, and likely a lot more reasonably priced for being "imperfect" for the average person, and she's honest about her interest in sustainability and affordability. Her collection is also well-curated to her lifestyle and has a broad range of brands. I really like her.

I agree with some previous posters that when I see a VERY young youtuber who talks about affording a birkin on a part time job while in college (and they live in a huge, well-furnished apartment while still in college), i see red flags everywhere, and I really don't believe they can pay for it all without familial help. And here's the thing; there's nothing wrong with having that trust fund money! If you're lucky enough to have it, good for you, buy the bags and show us (because that's what we're there for at least in part), but don't fake humility and pretend that you don't have money to rely on. Just my two cents.

i whole heartedly agree, i've had my parents buy me bags when i was younger and a student, i'm never ashamed of that. they had the money and they spoiled me. i'm in a secure financial place right now to buy myself designer handbags because i have no education debt or mortgage or car payments. that is all due to them. i will never act like i hustled and made it my own because that would represent the wrong idea of me and my white upperclass priviledge. yes i work really hard in the corporate world right now and i got my job at my own merit and earn my own very cushy paycheck but acting like i came from nothing would be deceitful.

JoJoLux, Autum Beckmann (cause she lives on earth), Michelle Wang (mostly make up but her bag purchases are not what everyone else buys, refreshing. Loved her last Chanel unboxing), useless and Emma hill for their sustainable fashion sense.

im tired of everyone showing the same bags and seemingly overnight switch to Hermès. H has been around forever, why did they all discover that brand at the same time?

I think that Hermes was always a step up from Chanel, pricewise. But with the hefty Chanel price increases, the prices pretty much line up now.

I think social media also plays a big part. Not so much influencers were buying orange boxes. Suddenly there was this surge with Bryan Boy (amazing taste, loves luxe) and Tamara Kalinic (wealthy background). Those are friends. Then one of their other friends Xenia also gets a birkin. If these people work in the same field and know eachother, of course they influence eachother. Since they are also influencers per jobtitle, it can seem like suddenly everybody moves to Hermes.

Alyssa Lenore and Karen Brit Chick were always up front with their Hermes dreams. And it could be a possibility that they now jumped on it because of covid. They can't travel, so money saved, and both bought their bags in New York. Which is now not flooded with tourists, more bags for locals.

And Hermes only just started with cosmetics. Everybody knows that there are enough brands who offer cosmetics to the masses (deluxe, how luxury lost it's lusture by Dana Thomas) and hope to also draw in other costumers. I already mentioned influencers influencing eachother, but a big group of youtubers who recently jumped on Hermes, was also at their cosmetics launch. That might have ignited something too.

I do not believe in or agree with getting kids/college students, basically young people, designer items. We can afford to buy our kids designer clothing/accessories, etc, but would never do that. When I see other families doing it, it gives me a really bad taste in my mouth. My kids have second hand phones, have to do chores, and are reminded regularly of how fortunate they are that their parents are going to pay for their education in full. That's what I believe in giving my kids, a healthy home and a strong education to give them a good start in life. They do see me buy designer bags (I mean, I'm on TPF lol), but I didn't buy my first until I was 30 and financially secure and they know that. They know I've worked really hard for what I have and it's a treat for myself. If they want LV, Gucci, Chanel, or whatever, then they can get a job and work towards it. It's really important to teach kids that work ethic and responsibility in my opinion.

I like je suis lou, fashionably amy, sophie shohet, colorful noir - they buy sensibly. Not a fan of any one partnering with senreve and 7 rue paradis inserts. these inserts are soo expensive as if made with silk ,

i hate purseonfleek the most - she cannot do one video without promoting senreve or 7RP
Click to expand...
hate is a very strong word! and every video? c'mon over exaggeration much. i know exactly why i like senreve because it suits my lifestyle i wouldnt feel appropriate taking a full on known luxury brand to a park with my kids nor to drop them at school. And after spending thousands on bag inserts over the years for my Hermes bags i am relieved to have found a brand that does exactly as i need without compromising the leather integrity. needless to say i dont NEED to justify myself to you but as a human with FEELINGS i have a right to defend myself. perhaps spread a little love! dont need to like everyone but HATE? hmmm...

I guess my only observation is the monotony of luxury Youtube now. I understand you love what you love. But on youtube, it results in a lot of content creators unboxing the same bag from the same season. As a result, the content isn't as captivating or interesting.
I think this is an overall impact of social media in general. It feels like there's little actual personal style. Rather everyone chasing popular trends and dressing the same.
There are so many seasonal bags that Chanel offers that I don't see much in vids on.

yes, I agree. It sometimes feels but overwhelming looking at unboxing after unboxing- I mean where do they store the bags and how much usage does it get?I do enjoy watching unboxings of course but also reviews , comparisons, reflections on their collection/ tips etc. Some YouTubers only seem to do unboxings which seems unrealistic and not genuine such as Handbagfluent who I used to enjoy watching but it is literally an unboxing channel. Unless it is unbox and return or sell - it just seems bizarre to me.

I agree with everyone who mentioned Colourful Noir and another one I really like who is also mindful is The Geek Is Chic (Evelyn). There is another one I watch and it is Sasa Zoe.

Colourful Noir was great for grounding me whenever I felt like I was close to going over-budget in my bags shopping, but lately, her videos have a “commercial break” every couple of minutes and a quarter of her videos are gone with advertising Shoptagr (which sends spam emails and takes your online info) and AnnaLuisa ... it sort of put me off, so I unsubscribed unfortunately. I’ll still take the lessons I learned from her.

Don’t get me wrong I like her and some of her very grounded videos, but her channels are still supposed to be about luxury, and there are only so many money saving videos I can watch from her. For a luxury channel she’s kind of taking the fun element out....too much. I’m still subscribed but I must confess I haven’t watch her videos for the past 3 months. Just doesn’t excite me anymore.

I predicted she would run out of material soon, especially since she’s been posting videos every week.
