[@matzinca]

I love this feature on affordable options!

[@mindbodysoul8214]

I loveLoveLOVE these types of videos & appreciate you doing what you do for the Luxury Community --- your HONESTY in all that you share. I've order the Clementine in the Brown and I'm patiently waiting for it to arrive. It would be my pick for closest.🧡🍂

[@Somehowadulting]

Thank you! My friends have said you're brutally honest 😂 I'm excited for you to get your clementine!

[@mattchan3937]

beautiful bags! The smaller belt bag has a magnetic closure and the strap is adjustable though it doesn't have a back pocket.

[@HandbagFoodie]

Enjoyed seeing these comparisons! The Rodeo bag looks pretty spot on! Also the PM in leather looks like a good alternative. I have it in empreinte and it’s one of my most used and care free bags! Thanks for sharing!

[@Somehowadulting]

Thanks girl! Always glad to hear from you ☺️

[@JHT99]

I loved seeing the side by side comparisons. I did have to start and stop the video three times because it was on the longer side, and I was doing chores, but I like the longer videos, too. I think a mini Marly is definitely on my wishlist now. I like that it has feet, which my other trapezoidal bags do not have. However, I will wait until there's an awesome color, or off-white croc effect. It's not as easy to get many handbags in Canada, so I need to make sure I'm not duplicating what I already own when purchasing a bag.

[@Somehowadulting]

Ha I know my videos are on the longer side. Imo you have to get really detailed on reviews like this because a 2 min review just doesn't give me enough time to tell you all of my thoughts. And I think most people like to see lots of different options in one video. I think the mini Marly is a fantastic option! Stay tuned...I have a lot more content on the brand coming up 😉

[@jojothee]

I appreciate your videos and your detailed self explanatory links. Easy to find

[@Somehowadulting]

Thanks!

[@NottheotherAmber]

You make great content. Been waiting on the Clementine in Olive since mid-September. Totally agree w/you about the opening of the Puzzle bag. Hopeful the Horse will scratch that itch like everyone says. Thanks!

[@Somehowadulting]

Thanks! Lots of itches scratched 😂

[@zutopiafan]

I have the clementine and I ADORE it. The horse also has the Alexis tote, which is a great dupe for the Picotin, imo. Thanks for all the recs!

[@Somehowadulting]

Love it!

[@sharetac9296]

Hi, thank you. Good video The Horse bag is nice, very similar to the Loewe Puzzle bag in shape.

[@Somehowadulting]

Thanks! Yes it is!

[@BloopleNoople]

I have both the medium and small Loewe Puzzle bags which I bought Preloved and can confirm that the small one is such a pain to get and out. My medium one was already worn in and can be a breeze to get in and out of. I recently purchased the Horse Clementine bag and am reconsidering whether I keep my small Loewe puzzle bag as it’s just more practical.

[@Somehowadulting]

True that! I just did a side by side comparison of the mini vs regular sized!

[@DeeHigginbotham-mv3gc]

Loved the video! We are twinning on the Clementine. That bag rocks! I have the Josette and the Paris15 from Dress Up Your Purse. They are both fabulous alternatives. In both cases, Melodie took it up a notch with extra and better closures. I went to Amazon and got the Balenciaga Rodeo dupe in the smaller size. Balenciaga is not allowed my money. Target has dupes for the Jodie bag. While they are not leather they are nice bags.❤❤❤❤

[@Somehowadulting]

Glad you like it! I was surrounded by so many bags while filming this video lol. Yea I don't think I will buy bags from target especially the ones that are pleather. Not my jam

[@WyeChengChong-ql7lr]

I love the Miumiu alternative, but I wish it came in a slightly larger size. I have a Coach zip swing which gives a similar silhouette. Great video as usual. 🙂

[@Somehowadulting]

Thanks!!! Love it when you share your opinion!

[@SophnEllie12]

Can you do a Tiffany and Fred review? Lots of Hermes and Bottega dupes

[@Somehowadulting]

Hi! I've seen them before from other youtubers but never really looked into it. Have you checked out @dawnlovescouture2644 and @laurazundel5214 ?

[@BeautyLuxeLover]

You went for the Rodeo! I was hoping you would get the Bel Air dupe so we can see what it’s like 😂 but the brown suade looks really nice!

[@Somehowadulting]

Ha! I wish you did! Im not a fan of all those flaps. Too busy for me.

[@IrisLA1]

Seriously considering the B suede dupe in the small size. Can't resist the two functional exterior back pockets. And I've been wanting a suede bag for this season without dropping serious money because it is a trend.

[@Somehowadulting]

Do it! I think suede is super under rated!

[@carmenharris4715]

Love your channel ❤

[@Somehowadulting]

Thank you Carmen!!! ❤

[@teresamcg431]

I enjoy seeing your combination of high & lower priced bags. Great collection. Wishing I like’d DUYP. I’ve tried several things & the leather is so thin. It is also coated with something that makes it feel cheap to me. I do like the designs they offer. I’d rather spend less & get a great quality leather piece from the Horse.

[@Somehowadulting]

I would say the horse definitely has better quality leather than DUYP. They're both indie brands but offer very very different products. Something for everyone

[@fishandfloral]

I’m definitely after The Horse bag once it restocks in the color I want. I love the combo of structured but slouchy and the magnet flap closures. Do you have any experience with Cafune? I’m looking at a Stance bag but haven’t ever seen or touched one in person.

[@Somehowadulting]

I usually post all the deals I find on my IG! Yes I've done videos on Cafune, check them out!

[@cpebble3874]

Thank you for such a helpful and interesting video! Will a small 5x3 phone fit in the exterior back pocket of the DUYP paris petit bag? Another dupe of the LV pochette metis east west is the new Coach Cassie 17. I really wanted to get that but the back pocket is too small for my phone

[@Somehowadulting]

I think 5x3 would fit. My phone it about 6x3 and it didn't fit.

[@lindap7719]

I'm in love with the look of your Balenciaga dupe! Is it a pleasing tactile experience or does if feel fake?😍🌻

[@Somehowadulting]

I think it's definitely worth the money! Nice thing about Amazon. If you don't like it, send it back

[@stacypatterson5641]

@somehowadulting Appreciate your content. I've been introduced to so many new brands. Just purchased a clementine based on your review and I love it. I am thinking of purchasing the medium song bag. Can you tell me if the leather is stiff? or do you think it will slouch a bit like the clementine? Thanks so much

[@Somehowadulting]

Thanks for letting me know! The leather on the songmont is stiff. It definitely will not slouch

[@lilies-and-lilies]

I actually prefer the Puzzle bag and the Clementine bag when they're structured! The slouch just isn't for me. Is it hard to keep it structured and rectangular?

[@Somehowadulting]

Maybe find an insert? Or if you fill it to the brim then you won't get that slouchy

[@joycekerensky6880]

This video is very enjoyable ❤

[@joycekerensky6880]

I like the Loewe alternative.

[@654ujala]

Me too. I love my puzzle though because of the smooth leather..if they released the alternative in smooth leather,I’d buy it!

[@lacondesalatina]

The weight of what is inside the LV causes pulling of clasp. Hence the weakest are the flap giving way. I too have problems finding the right words. 😂 (When storing do not shut clasp.) Blessings, Latina 💜💚🤎🧡❤️💛💙💗

[@Somehowadulting]

I completely understand you!

[@jojothee]

Wondering if you have purchased any bags from Manu Atelier? I trust you and feel you have a similar take on quality as I would. Please consider if I haven’t missed a previous review. Thanks!

[@Somehowadulting]

I have not purchased anything from Manu atelier. Looks quite interesting to me.

[@maggimae45-7]

I have just purchased the Mini Tote De Jour in the Merlot leather and the bag is beautiful, leather is lamb and so very soft. I have one of their cylinder bags in black and the leather on it is also so nice. I would like another Tote De Jour in the suede 😊

[@sherlynramoso5642]

I feel like I’m being robbed from watching you 😅😅 I get influenced so much by you that I purchased your recommendations 😂😂😂😂❤

[@Somehowadulting]

Sorry not sorry 😆

[@sherlynramoso5642]

@Somehowadulting please try to review (if you can) the Oleada Marina Soft Bucket bag. I'm currently eyeballing this bag for work and travel purpose.. looking forward 😁

[@silkbuttons]

Why are the eyes hidden? It’s just our love of handbags, ❤

[@joycekerensky6880]

Do you love small bags?

[@Somehowadulting]

I do! Not so much the micro bags. Check out my other videos, I do cover a lot of indie mini bags
