BUY LUXURY BAGS AND STILL SPEND SMART | MY BUYING TIPS

[@kawaiiibunni]

don’t choose a weird color just because it’s on sale!!

[@gullepuppsing]

Just a super random compliment, but I love having subtitles on your videos. You speak so clearly that the automatic subtitles almost always get it right. And that doesn't happen often in the KZbin universe. :)

[@ChaseAmie]

Haha thank you! I always worry I mumble when I get lost in thought so this is nice to know!

[@EverInGreen_1988]

Very good points. Totally agree on prioritizing. Always wanted the Chanel WOC, and I know I need to start prioritizing on getting that and saving for that instead of buying other bags. Very helpful tip. Thank you! ❤😊

[@djones2183]

I started my collection last year and have amassed a collection of 13 bags so far, this has been so useful I cannot wait to get my first Chanel i'm saving hard for it.

[@streamlinedchic]

Hi Amie, I totally agree with what you said about buying five or six mid range brands and how that can add up to one designer bag. I also agree that if one is going to buy a bag, buy one that just takes your breath away! I usually plan my purchases but I do leave room for those moments when I see something really special. Thank you for all your videos! Kim

[@meehoww]

I wish I knew better when I was younger... I wasted so much on inexpensive bags that I really didn’t care for and threw away after a year or two😓

[@MsLee-oh7hy]

Lynn Lynn 😩 what!? I have away a few bags but I try to revamp my old purses.

[@bbarr4377]

Perfect video for today’s handbag market! Luxury bags are so expensive and one must love their purchase. The quality is important as well. Thank you for doing this video! Your tips are very relevant and very useful. 😀👍🏻

[@cassiapple3970]

Hi Amie! Love how much you’ve been uploading lately :)

[@ChaseAmie]

Thank you so much for watching Cassi! :) xx

[@JetGirl-216]

So true regarding the concept of price per wear! I recently purchased the Gucci Marmont Mini Camera bag in Black. Wasn’t sure if I would use it a whole lot. But I find myself reaching for every weekend! May be a trendy bag, but I certainly ❤️ it and get good use out of it.

[@stefelle4846]

Hi Amie! Have you done a video on how to go about selling and where are the best places to sell your bags for the most value back? Thanks. Always appreciate your informative videos. ❤️

[@ThatAndreaLife]

Great tips Aime! I have my eye on a Chanel and a Gucci but I’m so impatient, it takes everything in me to not just go and buy the Gucci 🙈

[@ZoeMay]

Such great points Amie, I agree knowing your style personality is key and you can get a million wears out of a classic piece that you genuinely love

[@carlagonzalez2384]

Hi Aime!! Could you talk a little bit more un depth about the online retailers discount codes? And also where is best to buy pre loved? I think u said you were going to, but i really want to understand how does the discounts codes works as i am on the hunt of my first designer bag, and i want to do well, and i think you are the best adviser ever ☺️Thans so much! ❤️ your videos!!!!

[@YosheaLux]

I don’t mind buying preloved either! You can save! Great video! I get pretty picky, your right because we work hard for our money! ❣️💕

[@indefat]

This has to be the smartest video I have come across. Thank you.

[@ChaseAmie]

So happy you enjoyed it! :)

[@taiyef1]

Thanks Amie, such a great video! My question is this....how do you know WHERE/HOW to find those discount codes? You mentioned a few times that there's always a code around the corner, but where do you look for them? 💋💋

[@solkystsunglasses]

This sounds weird but I’m a makeup channel and I feel like my content has improved lately after coming across your channel a couple weeks ago. You are just so helpful and genuine and I really feel like I’ve been naturally inspired by you in my latest videos so thank you for making such quality and passionate content ! ✨ I’ve been loving your channel!

[@Afatgirlsfoodguidekorea]

Girl you are killing it with the videos this week, you inspired me to get one up after a couple weeks break. i wanted to do my Chanel collection in honor of Karl Lagerfeld. I have also taken your advice and am on a ban until i get my Jumbo

[@sushichan268]

Love your honesty & practical points to purchasing expensive bags/items. Clear & precise explanations, shall share this w my friends❤️

[@dfarnsworth243]

Do you have a specific way or place you like to sell your bags? I feel like most resale sites don’t offer enough to make it worth selling my bags.

[@tinamax6408]

d farnsworth I guess for youtubers and instagramers with a lot of followers it is quite easy to sell their bags and not lose a lot of money 😕 I have the same problem. would love to sell some pieces in great condition, but 30 or 40% comission ist just wayyyy too much 😞

[@suzannehall5200]

I know what you mean. I am trying to sell a Chanel coin purse and some CC studs and the amounts I have been offered by resellers are so small they are laughable. It’s getting very depressing. After some bad experiences I feel very nervous about putting them on eBay but it’s beginning to look like the only option.

[@thunderalv]

You can try selling on IG. Look up cashmere_consignment or mireyna_fashionlover. They take a fee for listing your items and also a % if it sells. You’ll be responsible for shipping out the items yourself.

[@mazen1363]

Hi Amie, I am looking for a preloved Chanel handbag and I’m only gonna get the one that gave its original receipt. I have found one with a great price compare to the store price and it has the original receipt but I’m still hesitating that this might not be authentic, do you know how I can make sure that this receipt is for this particular bag? Because this my first preloved handbag that I’m attempting to purchase and I’m so scared of that. Please share your tips . Thanks❤️❤️

[@ashliadams9585]

You are so right... keep thinking well, maybe if I buy the Gucci bag for X amount I won't want the Dior bag I've coveted for almost 20 years!!! NO! :D And this is an overall brilliant video---totally agree on every point! Thank you for reminding me! :)

[@Lovelife1408]

Hi Amie, love your personality, I am new subscriber and love your energy, and the way you talk about bags, it’s an addiction but you make it sound healthy!!

[@angelajv]

Palm Springs mini are everywhere right now, would you consider buying it? You look lovely in this video!

[@kayy4511]

Angela it’s a fun bag but that’s about it.

[@munyeekah]

PM is better! Practical and small enough that it’s chic and cute

[@weareyesconnect]

Girl, I’ve been eyeing them for MONTHS! The classic monogram minis are so hard to find but it’s not very difficult to get ahold of the new lock pattern in store, from what I’ve seen. People have been selling on resale sites, preowned, for prices ranging from $2000 (only possible though bidding on Stockx as far as I know, and that could be a gamble) to over $3000 (every other website I’ve seen). If you don’t mind waiting and calling LV everyday for availability, I would recommend saving your money to buy it new for $1940. Strangely, the customizable bag with decals is currently the only variation available for purchase online.... 😒

[@thunderalv]

The mini is so cute. You can wear it crossbody, shoulder or as a backpack. You should never overpay for a bag that you can get in store. If you want the bag, go into an LV store and put your card on file so when it comes in they’ll hold it for you! Some of these sites may not sell the real thing.

[@marjan3010]

Amie, I do like the idea of preloved bags. However, I am not a fan of Real Real and Fashionphile websites that are in the US because their prices are high. I have considered several bags at Vestiaire Collective website; however, there is a 15% custome fee for bags over 800 dollars. I once paid for a Gucci Soho at Vestiaire, but he seller changed her mind. I do think that Mytheresa has great selection and good sales, but the bags go really fast. I could not get a YSL bag on sale. I love the content of all your videos. It helps me a lot because I am not experienced in buying luxury bags. I will keep checking Mytheresa.

[@leanne254]

I didn’t even know what was Chanel when I was 18 😅

[@controversyqueen8951]

I knew when I was five

[@MsLee-oh7hy]

Leanne S amen! I just learned about Hermès and Chanel and I am 33 y.o

[@janine4360]

You seem so sensible! I admire you and your contribution greatly. I find it interesting that you “allow” yourself more trendy bags now, after you have a huge arsenal of more classic ones. Have fun with it! I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

[@alexmarie93]

When do you think is the best month for discounts? I’m thinking November because of Black Friday but would love to know your thoughts!

[@ChaseAmie]

So I find November is great for clothing but for designers bags, I actually found that September/ October was great too. Black Friday has a lot more deals but quite a few online luxury stores did blanket discounts in the run-up and then focused on more clearance type sale during Black Friday. So it just depends on what you want! :)

[@teddy9770]

Something I really appreciate about your videos is that there aren't three cuts within each sentence.

[@charlotteluck]

Great video! Loved the advice. What pre-loved websites do you recommend?? Thanks ❤️

[@ainohaea9042]

You are so sensible with how you spend the money with your bags! 👏🏻

[@kanittam5845]

Been watching your videos for years and you never aged!!!

[@KraftyPaws]

What do you think about the Chanel boy with top handle? I love the way it doesn't have the chain/leather strap that can get un-balanced (my own pet peeve). I know they're rare but it's a unicorn for me. Do you think they'll retain their value?

[@mindbodysoul8214]

Another video going into a folder for reference, so well done. My dilemma is, I want the REISSUE 255 in a dark tan so bad(#1 on my list). Preloved is my only option but the wait tho. 🤔💕

[@SomethingLatte]

What an informative video! Do you have a recommendation on where to buy pre love?

[@thelovecatsinc]

I love buying Chanel second hand, I've got 3 bags now and haven't paid full price yet. My most recent is a Chanel Trendy which I got for £1500 less than the RRP and it was in brand new condition. I also love vintage Chanel and you can get so many bargains online with them and they're often in great condition too :)

[@Vanillalatte22433]

Can you do a house tour? Would love to see 💕

[@cquinnth]

Where do you sell your bags?

[@xjoeylimx]

INSTANT SUBSCRIBER!! love ur content as ive just started to buy luxury bags :) thank u

[@theamethyst93]

It’s so funny you say that about getting the bag you actually want. I really want a Louis Vuitton cardholder as my first luxury purchase. Something with the traditional print with a hint of light pink to it. However, the price stops me and when I realized ysl also makes cute cardholders for like $275 I did consider it. At the end of the day though it’s not the cardholder I want so I’m going to splurge on the Louis Vuitton one.

[@lisaw3153]

Yup always get what u really want!! Dont ever settle totally agree

[@RosyMoly]

Hi Amie, thank you for your video and being so sweet as always. I also have a question, would you mind sharing with us some reliable websites for pre-loved bags? Thank you very much :)

[@patronusstag]

About buying from third party retailers; shouldn't one aim to build a relationship with the brand directly if they're already buying such expensive items?

[@StacyT2011]

I’m interested in that mini Chanel square bag. Where did you get it? Prelove site? Ty Aime

[@michiamosophie]

I’m on second video and I like your approach! So reasonable. Subscribed immediately :) Thank you

[@xjanice23]

Would Gucci have discounts too? I tried to wait for one on MyTheresa and it seems discount codes never apply to Gucci

[@elena0928]

Such a great tip! I want a chanel bag for now except clutches /pouch/woc, all bags i want are so expensive, i love top handle small bag from chanel, its u$3700-4000 not sure if its worth - waiting (even though price will be expensive later)instead of now spending on chanel woc or pouch. Or should I look for preloved?

[@sadafan1654]

The voice of reason we all need to harness impulse extravagance :)

[@ETrantina]

I’m curious what your opinion is of MCM bags? I’ve been eyeing the Liz tote. I already have a few Chanel and LV pieces, so just need a work bag that can take a beating.

[@ChaseAmie]

Honestly I don't know enough about them to be able to say, I'm sorry! Anyone else here have any experience?

[@jonieanthony3991]

MCM is well made but I don’t care for them as they are really on the trendy side and I want to spend my money on items I wouldn’t be afraid to you today next year or five years down the road.

[@balletdancernj6894]

I have the large Liz tote. It is a great bag.

[@harmeetkaur8]

Loved the content. Great help, I’m buying my first Chanel and your video definitely helped me to pick wisely 👏🏻👍🏼❤️

[@e.j.lotivio3890]

New sub here. Excellent tips! Realized that I’m actually practicing all of them except for No.2 since I only ever buy Louis Vuitton...but seriously considering to buy a Birkin 40 and a Classic Flap (both in black leather and gold hardware preferably) in the future with the sole purpose of displaying both bags in my closet just so I own at least one classic bag from Hermes and Chanel...the rest of my collection is purely Louis Vuitton. 👍😊👍

[@premeyumlife443]

Great tips my lady like 3 SLGs equals a bag. 👍🏻 thanks for sharing! 😘😘😘Sandy

[@melinda4065]

Your hair is sooo good!! Like come out of the ads

[@sillysofie123]

can you suggest the best websites to buy preloved? i’m very skeptical of authenticity especially when it comes to chanel so i’d love to know which websites you trust!

[@lemonymango]

Thanks for the video! What do you think of the lv toiletry 26? It’s very popular right now but I’m not sure how “smart” it’ll be in a couple years from now!

[@Stephanie.922]

lemonymango that piece has been “smart” since it came out. Princess Diana always wore it as a clutch, and was constantly photographed with the 26. For over 3 years it’s been extremely difficult to get the 26. Used ones are going for much higher prices than new retail.

[@Lola-kg4qy]

I’m trying to pay attention to what your saying but how do you get your hair like that.???? I have curly hair so it’s just luck

[@anamarijasubic7393]

I am proud on my Dkny bag, that is my first bag at the age of 17,so I started young with a little big expensive but not to expensive, because at the end of the Day, it is just a bag and somebody can't afford even that bag☺️☺️Ly your video💞

[@lucyinthestacks]

Hi Amie! Random question, but how do you launder your delicate camisoles, especially ones with thin lacing? I love the look of them but having to hand wash them all just seems so tedious! Or maybe I'm just being lazy haha 😅

[@ChaseAmie]

It depends which ones. My pure silk ones I hand wash but the non-silk ones, I put them on a gentle wash cycle :)

[@pepepe8996]

Please share hair tipssss Love ur curls

[@maccafferty1]

hiya, I'm selling my LV Bloomsbury and considering a new small cross body trying to decide.... would you recommend a YSL or Valentino. Please help, thank you. I do have other luxury bags including a Chanel jumbo but this will be for everyday use

[@missyoglebay6500]

Great video. Your hair looks super cute today too.

[@CeciliaF1974]

Trying to buy a pre-loved Chanel. Do you have favorite legitimate vendors? I weary of fakes. Thank you!

[@streamlinedchic]

Hi Cecilia, I am not Amie, but I really like Fashionphile and find their items in really good condition and they are authenticated as well.

[@CeciliaF1974]

Which pre-loved websites do you trust? Do you use any vendors to verify the purchases?

[@memebrown4420]

Im coming to London in April and I want to buy a LV favorite MM. I know i should stop in the Heathrow airport boutique. Do they usually have discount code and where can I found them?

[@lvoecloud]

You look so glowy and chiq! I love your tips

[@stefanieb.8717]

Hello Amie, great video! I am looking forward to the next one, I just recently got aware of mytheresa and co. Have a good day!

[@jikkekae5817]

Hi, do you have any website recommend to buy the pre-loved bag?

[@djones2183]

Vestiaire Collective rebelle the real real

[@romysketches7373]

Thank you for this video😍! So helpful! What is your opinion on how Chanel will continue with Karl Lagerfield sadly passing away? Do you still think the prices continue to increase? I think it could go one way or the other

[@ChaseAmie]

I don't expect much change to be honest - his successor has worked with him for years so I expect much of the same. I also imagine price increases are taken at a business level so I'm not sure the creative director will have much control over that.

[@yulirachman]

Hi may i know which popular website that provide pre loved bags ?

[@zobilaite]

Your hair looks beautiful :)

[@martincarmona]

Should I buy at a Chanel boutique in London and get tax refund or buy at duty free Heathrow? I’m interested in a black Chanel mini flap and WOC. Thank you!

[@tippytoe1250]

Martin Carmona Get it at Heathrow if they’re available there. You don’t have to fuss with the VAT refund process. I got the LV Cluny and Neonoe at Heathrow and saves a ton right off the top.

[@kham9578]

The pre loved like FASHIONPHILE prices are rediculous, Chanel woks in good condition. , not even excellent are 100 less then retAil , I see LV NEVERFULS WITHOUT the extra bag inside , they break it up sell them seperately and they are 100 less the retail , rather buy new

[@wendydegracia1566]

[@missysmithy25]

Where is the bedding from?

[@christine8403]

Hi Amie, what would you recommend if I’m trying to decide between purchasing a small Gucci Marmont vs a Chanel classic flap? Should I forget about buying the Gucci and work/save towards purchasing the Chanel? Thanks

[@munyeekah]

Christine Kerr go with CHANEL! I made that mistake of getting something else and I still wanted the Chanel.. lol I just ended up wasting money

[@lisad6721]

Take it from me.. my ultimate bag goal is the Chanel classic flap but I got the Gucci marmont flap because I loved it too and it was more affordable. I regret it because I'm $2000plus short now... hardly use Gucci and Chanel is still hot on my radar.. get your ultimate girlfriend!

[@itsfellyjames9486]

Have you considered the new Gucci mini top handle marmont

[@hazelsalas3424]

It is so true though, my regression to a chanel bag will not be satisfied by a gucci bag
