Best Book Tote - Reviewing & Ranking Louis Vuitton On The Go, Dior Book Totes & YSL Rive Gauche

[@BoldandGraceful]

They are all beautiful totes but I have to say my favorite is the small Dior...Gorgeous details. Thank you for sharing.

[@AHeatedMess]

Yes the small Dior TDJ book tote is definitely my fave but don’t tell the other totes 😂 Thanks so much for watching! 💞🤗

[@zelloresharrison7035]

Yes i love them all but I'm leaning toward the Christian dior too

[@queendee8656]

I Just Order The LV Tote👜in Black & Pink love it😍😍😍

[@queendee8656]

I need that small Dior tote👜is beautiful😍😍😍💙💙💙

[@vanimaduray5473]

The YSL is so stunning! The small Dior is gorgeous as well with that print but I must say I need totes to zip shut and be able to fit over my shoulder comfortably. The Marc Jacob's Tote definitely fits all the criteria... But honestly your Beis work tote is still my favorite. Great video 😘

[@thehopefulbudgeter]

Ooh your collection is so gorgeous. I don’t own anything Dior yet but I saw someone at the mall that had the small size Dior and my auntie-in-law owns the LV on the go but in the turtle dove color. It is sooo gorgeous!!! 🤯😍 I’m opting for leather empreinte more these days. Thanks for posting! ❤ super helpful.

[@Angela-AScottishView]

I really want the Dior book tote in pink. The blue is just as stunning. I love the embroidery. My friend has the blue and for her birthday, I bought her a Dior scarf, which she has tied on the handle.. I’ve asked for the pink for Xmas as it’s such a beautiful tote. I’ve been binging on your videos and have to say you have a beautiful collection. 😍

[@melissacasner7738]

One of the very few videos where one is not too self-absorbed and just gives a great review. Very informative! Thank you!

Your voice is so relaxing, you speak crystal clear.

[@AHeatedMess]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@shoppingwithapassion8693]

I also have the large and the small book tote and thought about the LV on the go but I think prefer the Dior. Stunning collection of totes!

[@trishtrinh]

Ohh gorgeous Book Totes!!! The YSL one so classic black. Of course loving LV reverse monogram. I love the regular Dior Book Tote size, the small is a bit small but still cute. Thanks for sharing❤️

[@AHeatedMess]

I love the larger size too! I’m so short but I still love huge bags, I don’t know why 😂 Thanks for watching Trish 💞🤗

[@kklvoescc]

I love the toile du juy SO much! It’s just next level!! You have the best tote collection ever! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Tricey.89]

I have the LV on the go in the smaller size and just ordered the YSL one in raffia online. My LV is something I can use as a purse and not feel like I am overdoing it

[@SkinMasterclass]

Love this video. You sold me the Saint Laurent one. I was really looking for something like this. Xx

[@AHeatedMess]

It’s been a great bag to use around the house but I can’t wait for the quarantine to end so I can wear it out 🤗

[@ameliarosescloset]

I’m so glad you did this video! I think about the Dior book tote a lot! Thanks for sharing 💕

[@gracepan1424]

Got the Dior oblique regular book tote in red and on the wait list for the small blue book tote. Think book totes are just perfect for my lifestyle, I just have too much things to fit in a small bag. I realized this after a little while carrying mini bags or small totes. I would need a iPad, sometimes a laptop, water bottle, a light jacket, makeup case, some snacks, and so on. The smaller bags just don’t work. I have been hesitant to buy bigger bags since I’m a small person, and there just weren’t any big totes in the market that catches my eyes. Thank you so much for posting multiple videos comparing different tote bags! They are so helpful and exactly what I need. Thanks!!

[@staniraola9159]

Your channel pushed me to buy the YSL tote. Lol scheduled to arrive Tuesday.

[@passionmarie]

I received the MJ Tote bag in the large size in beige for mother’s day. I love it! I can’t wait to use it to travel. I want to get the blue tote in the small size next!

[@AHeatedMess]

LOL those are the exact colors I’m eyeing too! How do you like the large beige size so far? They also just released new colors! Thanks so much for watching 💞🤗

[@passionmarie]

A Heated Mess the large beige is awesome so far. I wanted it mostly for travel so gotta wait until I can actually test that idea lol I want either the yellow or blue small tote now for more everyday ugh can’t decide!

[@ReneeSLiu]

All of them are so beautiful!! Love the pearl chain you added on the LV tote, makes it more elegant! Loved this video, thanks for sharing! xx

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

I want that Saint Laurent, I don't care about the lint, it's beautiful! Thank you for doing this video ~ totes are my favorite in the luxury bag world. So unpretentious: utilitarian, but luxury, you know? Xo~Dawn

[@AHeatedMess]

Thanks so much for watching Dawn! The YSL bag is great. - very functional but still beautiful 🤗💞

[@gloriouslexury8988]

Gorgeous tote collection babe! We're OTG twins! I still want to add a DBT to my collection, but I can't make my mind up on one. Lol great video TFS 😊❤️

[@AHeatedMess]

Thank you! Yay OTG twins - I love the GM size even though we’re both short lol! Def add a Dior book tote to your collection! Thanks for watching 💞🤗

[@ShopLuxe]

Great review! Glad i came across your channel i was able to find a good review on totes. I am actually looking for a tote that i need for everyday use. Although i wasn’t really able to choose what’s perfect for me from all the totes you showed but They’re all beautiful! I think a more casual tote works more for me. 😊

[@AHeatedMess]

I love casual totes too! The Chanel Deauville might be a better choice for you if you prefer casual styles 🤗 I have a few videos about my Deauville totes and will post another comparison soon! Thanks so much for watching 🤗

[@thairypaola9714]

I just found your channel, and I agree they are all beautiful bags, but Dior is pristine; I love the pattern on your large Dior because it is subtle but still exquisite. The Marc Jacobs tote is also beautiful and ideal for more casual outings, but it is very roomy. I have the mini one, and it is my church bag, and my big Bible, notebook, pencil bag, and other stuff fit in it. Anyways God bless, and great video.

[@ShesThePosh]

Love your collection! I think there is a small dior book tote in my future 😀

[@AHeatedMess]

Thank you! Yes the small size is perfect for every day 🥰 Thanks for watching!

[@YotaStyle]

You are making me want a small Dior Tote! So so pretty! I just had to return my OTG, for the price I just couldn't live with the dents in my bag. Have you ever considered taking yours in to LV to see if they can exchange it? I wonder if they have corrected the issue. Your hair is so gorgeous and looks longer, you always look great!

[@sabinafromapplecity]

Hi, Cindy! Tote bags are very functional! You have a beautiful collection. Thanks for the share💖

[@AHeatedMess]

Thank you Sabina!

[@ainalim60]

Thank you for mentioning the Marc Jacob's tote, I want to try the totes but didn't really want to spend too much.

[@AHeatedMess]

The MJ tote is so cute! I just threw it in at the end bc I’m considering it but there are a ton of tote options out there - I might do another video of more affordable totes by contemporary brands. Thanks for watching! 🤗

[@ainalim60]

@@AHeatedMess that would be a great video. I usually like mini bags and not familiar with totes, so it would really help.

[@AllthePrettyPurses]

My main concern with the Dior is the possible staining or pilling of the canvas, since it's not coated.

[@AHeatedMess]

I treated the entire book tote with Scotchguard- similar to the LV Multi pochette strap 🤗 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4S1q3mEiLiFncU

Yasssss new subscriber and IG follower and I’m so here for this video and you!

Awww your book tote!!! I thought you have 3 book totes. Great comparison sis!💙💙💙

[@AHeatedMess]

Thank you! Yes l have 3 😂 But only needed 2 for comparison - a third wouldn’t fit in the frame 👜👜👜🥰

[@tinytuna0]

i love the mac jacobs book tote! From the photo it seems like it's made of canvas, so that will be more comfortable to carry too. I'd love to see a review video if you get it! :)

Beautiful collection of totes😘 Yes I too have been 👀 at The Marc Jacobs Tote bags both sizes even adding the additional strap to the larger tote is affordable. Thanks for sharing... purse goals for sure.

[@Reebzz]

Love your videos!! Do you prefer the GM size vs the MM? I feel like the GM is too big for my height

[@snow77707]

All so beautiful Cindy I don't like the warps that the OTG has @ all. Lol you already know I bought & returned the YSL tote cuz of that con TFS

[@zelloresharrison7035]

[@keleshaking3446]

Hi! What size is the white organizer in the ysl tote?

[@Suny_Days]

Can you give me any tips/advice on how to apply scotchgard to the Dior book totes? Bought the spray but a little nervous to start the process 😂

[@AHeatedMess]

I show how to apply Scotchguard on my LV multipochette strap: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4S1q3mEiLiFncU just light even coats and allow to try between each coat 🤗 It works great! I’ll post another video showing how to do it in my larger totes 👍🏽

[@Mommyingthis]

Do you mind sharing your thoughts on the Chloe woody book tote in the all leather version? I very much appreciate your opinion. The tote I really want is the LV on the go MM, BUT I just bought a Chanel jumbo classic flap at 2022 prices last month, then a trendy CC WOC. I don’t have a tote and I need one. I would like a “higher end or luxury” brand but trying to find one at a better price point. I was looking at Gucci Ophidia (but not the biggest Gucci fan- only have a key holder from them) and the YSL shopper tote (gives me work vibes) along with the Chloe as my “dupes” for the LV on the go. Thoughts?

[@gracelopez360]

Thanks for the great review! I have the ysl in black too and the lint drives me insane 🤪 did the scotch guard work? Thanks so much

[@AHeatedMess]

There is still some lint but not as much as when it was brand new - it looks like the Scotchguard helps somewhat! Thanks for watching 🤗

[@gracelopez360]

A Heated Mess thanks for letting me know. I will try it for tote as well 💕🤍

[@FurahaSGreen]

I love the Dior ones 😍😍😍

[@AHeatedMess]

They are my favorite 🥰 Thanks so much for watching!

[@yuqing2006]

Can you tell me why there is so much hype around handbags. I'm not into luxury goods. Just any reasonably well made bags is good for me. Btw. i watch your videos not because you are an ex employee of LV but because your delivery method is SO GOOD. Also i think i need to go back dressing and acting with that level of sophistication. Thinking of getting one of these bags to REMIND ME.

Hi, thanks for sharing and I enjoyed it very much! May I know where do you get the organiser. It looks good in quality and fitting for each of the bags!

[@Ladydreamer888]

Hi! Which one do you use to protect the canvas from so much lint? Is it the Scotchgard fabric water shield??😅

[@thisynavone8756]

I've been on the hunt for a casual tote. One I can take to on vacation and use during Summer months. Now that you've had the YSL tote for a while, what do you think about it for this purpose? I think that is the bag I am leaning towards.

[@abigailzarate]

I got the large Marc Jacobs in Beige and I love it. Now if only I can leave the house to us it! But it fits really well over the shoulder which is a must for me. And it’s not at all stiff.

[@lindseyrendall967]

Can oki give me the link to that beautiful blue scarf with the tiger on it. It’s on the blue Christian door tote. I tried ordering the blue one before and what I received was a black bandeau

[@queenc8280]

I wish LV tote had the feet (gold hardware on the bottom). For such a pricey tote, they should have added that. BEAUTIFUL🤎 bag otherwise!! By the way, where do you get your organizer? Love your channel. I'm a new subbie!🙂🤗

It’s one of my most used LV bags! Def recommend it as a work tote or travel bag 🥰 Thanks so much for watching 💞🤗

[@lvluxdelight]

I love them all! I really like the white organizer you chose for your "Saint Laurent"...i do love the "onthego gm" and do agree about the straps! I had to return my "onthego" bc it didn't have a smooth canvas.. the one it was replaced with does have a perfect canvas. If it really bothers you, i would bring to LV.. you do deserve a perfect bag; but it really depends on how much it bothers u...i do use an adjustable mono or reverse mono strap and I really love it! You're making me want a "Christian Dior" booktote 😍 I recently got a "rose gold mac book air" and I'm happt it fits in my "onthego mm".. loved this vid and you look gorgeous as usual 😍😍😍

[@AHeatedMess]

Aww thank you!! We have the same taste in bags and even computers bc I also just got the rose gold MacBook Air 😂 Maybe when they stores reopen I’ll bring in the OTG bc I just got it in December and was so excited I didn’t even think about the rippling. Thank you so much for watching 💞🤗

Hi! Im not someone who can buy branded bag often. The only one i have is neo bag as my everyday bag. And this time my bf said he will buy me one for my everyday bag, but i have to promise him that i will use this long term. Like years. So i have to choose this really carefully. I cant decide between lv on the go or dior tote. Big one or medium sized one. Hahha. Please help me decide! Im 164cm and has a big build so the big one will looks okay for me. But i dont know for everyday use which one will be more comfortable. My neoneo bag always packed because i bring quite alot of things with me. Ipad, charger, tissue, wet tissue, sanitizsr, makeup, wallet. Like usual women things. Since youve been using this bag for quite sometime, can you give me advice on which one should i choose?

[@inspiritlinspirit3259]

thanks for the video! i'm debating between the onthego letter vs. canvas. how is the resell value of the black leather version compared to the reverse monogram❓ which one is more durable (considering if I need to carry laptop and am quite a clumsy person)❓

[@AHeatedMess]

Thanks so much for watching! The reverse mono holds its value better than leather, but if the leather gets scuffed it can be buffed out 🤗 It’s heavier though. I love my reverse GM and it’s still in great condition 🥰

[@inspiritlinspirit3259]

I owned saint laurent tote in white years a go before book tote and on the go tote available. I used it for traveling and beach only and I love it so much. I didn't own dior book tote or on the go because i am not a tote person and both of them cannot be closed.

[@SK-pd1tr]

How was it 25% off at Saks? I’m so curiouss

[@liborplistak]

The dents on the on the go are most likely due to the organizer. It's stiff and the corners pinch against the canvas changing the structure of the bag. Try to remove it if it's still there. I don't think it's the bag itself and ins not an issue at all.

[@AHeatedMess]

Unfortunately the LV OTG has known issues with the canvas rippling, even brand new and empty with no organizer inside. But I don't mind - the waviness on mine isn't as bad as some others I've seen. Thanks so much for watching 🤗
