Louis Vuitton Danube Review | Buying Vintage Louis Vuitton

[@MissyatHome]

Congrats for scoring a very nice vintage LV bag , thanks for the share Caleb!

[@CalebSnell]

Thanks for watching!! It's such a cute little bag! ❤️

[@a.e.8743]

Love the honey leather. There is something quite charming about vintage LV bags with vachetta that is kept well like yours.

[@CalebSnell]

I completely agree! Aged vachetta always tells a beautiful story. ❤️

[@CristaStylista]

I love the honey color of vintage LV patina. Such a great find!

[@CalebSnell]

Same here, I think honeyed vachetta tells a romantic story of all the places a bag has been! Absolutely love it! Thank you! 😊

[@StyledByGwenny]

Well, now I'm intrigued 🤔 Keeping everything crossed your opportunities come off! 🤞🏼🤩 OK, that bag is in FANTASTIC condition! You're very lucky the previous owner had already taken care of the lining 🙌🏼

[@CalebSnell]

Fingers crossed!! 🤞 I should be able to announce it here in just a couple weeks, I just don't want to jinx anything! Yeah the bag is in gorgeous condition, and I'm very thankful someone else paid to fix the pockets! 💰 😃

[@YosheaLux]

Hello Caleb! LV had a similar bag with hearts on it, I think in 2020. It looks a little different. I love this bag. Love the size. Holly crap! You are tall. You stand out pretty sure in a crowd. Great review. Thanks for sharing

[@CalebSnell]

Hey Yoshea, I'll have to check out the heart one! Was it from the Game On collection? And yes, I'm usually quite a bit taller than everyone around me! haha!! 😅

[@YosheaLux]

@@CalebSnell Yes! It was the game in collection. It came with two bags. I thought it was super cute!

[@CalebSnell]

I’ll have to look it up! That was a fun collection!

[@Nixdixson]

I recently bought this. I love it. I cleaned the entire bag and it’s in great shape.

[@CalebSnell]

It's such a great bag!! I'm happy to hear that you love it!!

[@christianwang1545]

@@CalebSnell do you know how to clean LV bags?

[@CalebSnell]

@@christianwang1545 Not really 😬 I do know you can take a clean white eraser and lightly work at like the dirty spots on vachetta, but I’m too anxious to trybit

[@RAMIROFY]

Loooove this vintage Louis bag. Very functional too. Thank u for sharing 🥰🥰🥰

[@CalebSnell]

It's such a fabulous little bag, I highly recommend it! Thank you for watching!! 😊 😃

[@devincristopher3]

Very cute bag🥰 love your paintings btw🤗

[@CalebSnell]

Thank yo so much!! 😊 The paintings came from Great Big Canvas, and they have virtually any art work you could think of! I recommend waiting for prices to go to 40% or 50% off- they typically rotate each week! 😃

[@devincristopher3]

@@CalebSnell oh cool thank you🤗

[@CalebSnell]

@@devincristopher3 of course!! 😊

[@anthorpology]

really like that bag, looks like its worn so well and will be a lifer! one of my friends has the one in black embossed leather, he really likes it, makes me kinda want to try it! Thanks for sharing x

[@CalebSnell]

Oh yeah, I'll have this bag forever! I definitely say try it out, it's a great bag, and that black embossed leather is really cool! 😎

[@jennifersulucio]

I love the honey patina as well. Great tips!! Thanks Caleb💕

[@CalebSnell]

Thanks for watching Jen! Have a great week!! 😄

[@laurenromeo]

I love my Danube! Mine is from the late 80's and still looks spectacular.

[@CalebSnell]

I love the LV pieces from the 80's I have an Epi Keepall 45 in Toledo Blue from 1988 (my birth year) and the quality is outstanding! Which size of Danube do you have? 😊

[@laurenromeo]

@@CalebSnell mine is just like yours 😄

[@LuMiLevelUp]

Don‘t put to much pressure on yourself, let it be the topics of your videos or your schedule! I‘m sure your viewers enjoy a new video from you, no matter the topic and they do not worry too much about the timing aswell 😁 I’m very curious to hear about the great news in your live! Beautiful vintage piece (I myself have a LV vintage purse with sticky lining, that yet has to be replaced 🙄 but hey, it‘s been a flewmarket find for an incredible price, so I do not even care too much). I feel you with the monogram 😅 - have been there aswell at a point in time, but right now I have a huge renaissance with my monogram canvas love 🥰

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you for your kind words, they're very appreciated! I have some big changes coming if everything falls into place, and I'm very excited (and very nervous) about it! The cost to replace sticky pockets actually surprised me, it might be worth contacting LV and see how much they'd charge for your piece. I have a clutch that I'll be reviewing in a couple weeks, and to replace two sticky pockets came out to only about $350, which I thought was decent considering LV prices haha! Monogram will always have a special place in my heart! ❤️ 😊

[@LuMiLevelUp]

@@CalebSnell I‘m somewhat to scared to contact LV with that piece 😅🙈 - I only payed 10€ for it on the flewmarket (that‘s about 12$ 😆) Chances are, it might be inauthentic - eventhough everything seems legit to me, down to even every smallest detail and even the sticky lining 😆 ... but uh oh how embarrassing would it be, if not 😅🙈 I think it can happen - very rarely - that someone is selling a piece, that maybe initially didn‘t belong himself and therefore having no idea, what it‘s really worth... and maybe that was the case for this piece and I got very lucky (or I‘m just a naive idiot 😂) I might review that purse on my channel and ask my viewers for their opinion aswell - if everyone agrees, it could be legit, I might give it a shot at LV 😅🙈

[@CalebSnell]

@@LuMiLevelUp That's a great deal for a bag! I'd love to see it, I use to be really good at authenticating LV, especially vintage pieces! There was a local garage sale in my town that was selling an antique LV trunk, they had no idea what it was and sold it for like $400 I think. Someone on tPF bought it, and it was actually authentic, so miracles do happen! 😊 😃

[@LuMiLevelUp]

@@CalebSnell how I would love to own one of the vintage trunks and use it for decoration 😱🥰

[@Pinkexplosion2023]

I bought the Danube PPM last year as part of the Christmas animation edition. Initially I wanted to buy the card holder only as I didn't want to break the bank but then in the last minute, I went for the Danube as I thought I would get more use out of it. I am so glad I changed my mind because I absolutely love it. Although it is small, it sill holds my phone (iphone 13 mini) and my keys and a few cards. It also fits my body frame perfectly as I am more on the petit size. It goes well with many of my outfits as well.

[@CalebSnell]

It's such a great bag! I have a vintage one with some quirks, so I do have a love/hate relationship with mine. But at the end of the day, it's such a great bag!

[@nancydushay5744]

I wish I had my original Louis Vuitton bags , but they are long gone gave them to friends over the years.I was very lucky my Dad always gave me a luxury gifts for birthdays or just for a milestone...so he really started by collection early..... love all your video ......N

[@CalebSnell]

That was very sweet of your father, is this where your love for luxury items comes from? I agree, I wish I had my original collection, but I sold all of them at one point, and looking back I regret selling them. Hindsight is 20/20 I suppose! I have a strict no sell/giveaway policy now haha 😆. Thank you for watching! 😊

[@nancydushay5744]

No I had my Mom’s Mom my Nana who was a class act she dressed with such class she wore Chanel , Hermès and other designers only wore RED lipstick , she was very elegant looking and loved fashion I’m very thankful I have a lot of her jewelry some clothes but so many wonderful memories @@CalebSnell

[@culturadelarte]

Fabulous 💅🏻as usual! Is ok 👌 look great don’t worry 😉

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you so much!! 😊 ☺️

[@Jetvinchy]

Caleb!! I have been eyeing this bag on Fashionphile for some time now. Thanks for pointing out what to look for! I will keep that in mind. Also, I can't believe it used to be $310 😭(Sooo crazyyyy)

[@CalebSnell]

Yasss!! It’s a pain for daily use, but I highly recommend it! And I wish we could have old LV pricing 😭🤣

[@Jetvinchy]

@@CalebSnell Old LV pricing would be amazing right now haha

[@CalebSnell]

@@Jetvinchy OMG, so true!! ugh! 😩 😃

[@jademanalac]

I got my LV DENUBE for 70HKD (10USD) at a flea market here in HK. The moment I got it I took it to LV and asked how much if they repair/replace the lining. To my surprise they took it in 😊

[@CalebSnell]

Oh wow!! That's a really good deal!!

[@zeuszales6520]

Mine says made in Paris under the strap is that normal ?

[@CalebSnell]

Like on the strap pad?

[@zeuszales6520]

@@CalebSnell yes I bought a Danube from Fashion Phile and on the strap it says Louis Vuitton Paris

[@CalebSnell]

I just checked- mine says: Louis Vuitton Paris made in France What year was yours made? I know the stamps vary by years

[@zeuszales6520]

@@CalebSnell Inside the bag the Stamp reads Louis Vuitton Paris made in France . Under the strap it only a says Louis Vuitton parks Number inside bag is SL0064

Awesome video. Well explained

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you!! I hope I was able to answer any questions you had on the Danube! Have a good weekend ✌️

[@miradonfbd]

Wow, a year ago you had 20 bags? I like you clean shaven!

[@CalebSnell]

Haha, well this was almost 2 years ago- but I might have gone a little crazy!

[@jennifersulucio]

Love your hair!!!!

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you!!

[@devincristopher3]

Love crossbody for shopping but top handle bags are my favorite 🤗

[@CalebSnell]

Same here, I'd take a top handle or clutch over a crossbody any day! 😊 😀

[@beverly6294]

Hello. I always replace my straps with clasp straps so it moves along the side ring freely and doesn’t stress the leather tabs. Hope this helps.

[@CalebSnell]

That’s not a bad idea at all! Thank you for sharing!!

[@MicahAngela]

Wow even for me i would carry this coz of how small but still spacious enough to pit my necessities

[@CalebSnell]

It's small, but can hold all the essentials! 😊

[@ivantothemax]

What material is the slide pocket on yours have ?

[@CalebSnell]

Mine is the armagnac leather. I think at some point someone had this sent off for repair to LV.

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Wow $$$ Great bag to travel Or just to be hands-free

[@CalebSnell]

So true!! I bought it during quarantine, so I’m looking forward to using it for travel soon! 🤞🏻 😄

[@ZaneAnderson1]

Exciting times! Great bag for travel!!

[@CalebSnell]

Very exciting!! Thank you again for another beautiful video! ♥️

[@Ayerun_Veyron]

Why didn't you wear it

[@CalebSnell]

I can't remember 😅 I have quite a few bags, so I typically grab slightly larger ones for daily use.
