If you haven’t noticed I’m binge watching you videos. I just discovered Portland Leather Goods in December of 2024. My first purchase was a mini Crossbody Tote in Cognac and I just received a Triangle bag in Sunflower today. My next purchase will be something in Honey. Thank you for these very informative videos.

I had the Louis Vuitton Lockit Pocket drawstring bag in the beige color. I bought it brand new from the boutique in 2022 and I sold it within 2 years because of terrible tarnish on the hardware. The tarnish was so bad that it stained the leather parts that held the metal rings. I spent so much time cleaning the leather with Apple Guard and hardware with Brazzo. None of my lower end bags ever gave me so much grieve like this! Needless to say I sold this Louis Vuitton bag and since stopped buying from the brand.

Hey Ashley how are you? So good to see you-thanks for saying hi! I’m so glad you did a Rothys style AND size comparison. Definitely helpful especially when we have to order online and try to figure out how our feet are going to do in these- I LOVE the kelly green drivers, thats my favorite color too😊- there is a company that uses the recycled water bottles as well ORILONDON that I have tried recently. Similar to Rothy’s with the prices being a little higher but the quality makes all the difference and it supports sustainability. I enjoy watching older videos where Gracie Bell made her appearance- she was a darlin. I send you best wishes for this new year.

The biggest difference between D&B and LV is that LV bags are made of a coated canvas and D&B is made out of all leather. Just based off of that, D&B is a far more superior product. During the pandemic, I sold almost all of my LV’s, only kept a few sentimental pieces, and made a killing on them. Since then, I have been buying D&B exclusively and have never been happier.

@@pjeames3334 I’ve had a love hate relationship with this bag. Love my Frye shoes, all of them! But if you’re looking for a good leather bag, I would try Portland Leather Goods, they’re budget friendly and just good leather bags made in their own studio in Mexico. Or, KMM & Co, they make their bags hand made to order from Georgia( a little more pricey but no more than you’d pay for a Frye). Or, Go Forth Goods, also out of Georgia and hand made to order. Look at those websites before you purchase a Frye bag. Frye bags are great, but these brands have even better leather, in my opinion.
