10 LUXURY GOODS HACKS YOU NEED TO KNOW!

[@SarahLee8888]

some great ideas ! For stuffing your totes, you could put all that bubble wrap into the bag's own dust bag then put that in the tote.

[@ChaseAmie]

Love this idea!

[@athomewithnika6459]

Sarah Pasquier great one. It will look neater as well

[@Formerstyle]

Love lolo sells pilos which keep the shape of bags which is cleaner and nice than just bubble wrap or tissue paper x

[@NINAMAVEN]

That's exactly what I do. Great tip.

[@bibimajeed7281]

Even though I do not own any of your bags or shoes I was very impressed with all of your thoughts on how to take care of them. That's very impressive. You're absolutely correct. Your bags and shoes are quite expensive indeed you should maintain each of them. Great idea. Well done.

[@sarahsmith9144]

Some of these are great tips for non luxury goods too! I always think an immaculately cared for midrange or vintage bag or pair of shoes can outshine an ill cared for luxury item any day. You always make such great content!

[@ChaseAmie]

Absolutely, I totally agree! :)

[@julzee111]

Op

[@alliemollie]

Wow these are all amazing tips Amie! And I love how u take such good care of your luxury items. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😘

[@ChaseAmie]

Yay I'm glad you liked it! :D

[@sja1014]

Love your tips, and the suede boots under the faucet was amazing! The only thing I would caution is using towels or clothes to stuff inside of bags. They have the ability to absorb moisture and can lead to musty smells in the bag. Reusing air pillows and bubble wrap are the best and safest things to use for sure!

[@aartifacts8147]

Wow these were so useful!!!!!!! Usually i am a tad skeptical of "hacks" videos, but each recommendation was so smart! Thank you for taking the time to make this video!

[@yuvee]

The steaming trick was really neat, now to get myself a steamer! I usually stuff with a soft shawl instead of clothing, and I always put a disposable dehumidifier near my bags since I live in a very humid climate.

[@yuvee]

Too bad we don't have Amazon in my country! boo

[@moeekayi]

So glad it works for lambskin chanel going to try it !!

[@lindah.8564]

Yes, humidity and plastic inserted in bags to help hold their shape is a disaster waiting to happen. The leather will peel, even in high end luxury bags! I learned the hard way, but thankfully my bag was replaced at no cost. Can cause mold growth as well.

[@sharonbryant349]

I almost died when u ran water all over your suede boot! 😂😂 but it survived!

[@tiny5385]

BEST BEST BEST VIDEO EVER on care of luxury goods. I recently bought bags and shoes but was too afraid to use...thank you for this amazing video

[@vjloves3107]

Fab video Amie... for tip 9 be sure to add a packet of silca gel to stop moisture inside the bags 😊

[@deenyinagrl]

LOVED IT!! Never seen anyone on you-tube do these type of tips.. when you invest in these items it's a given that we must care for them for longevity and re-sale purposes- very smart and wise you are!!

[@suzannehall5200]

Really great tips, Amie. Like you I live in a city where winter means wet, really really wet, so I have avoided buying shoes that can't take water immersion. It never occurred to me to use Scotchguard. I have it on my furniture and it's fantastic but I never thought to spray it on shoes. Dah! I will have to try it. I have very limited storage space so I solved the packaging problem by buying a huge, sturdy, pre-loved Hermes box from ebay and I store all the small boxes from SLGs or jewellery in that. It's so sturdy that I can keep it on the bottom of my wardrobe and stack other boxes on top of it without damaging it.

[@Blessedlifeliving]

What an amazingly useful and well-structured video, Amy! Thank you so much for the advice! I'd definitely take advantage of it all, especially the hack for preventing colour transfer from denim to leather! Lots of love and support! Xx

[@Svetlolikaya]

Thank you so much for your advice on how to steam a bag! I just steamed my Chanel bag and it worked! It pretty much restored it to its original shape at the corners, looks so good 😊

[@Vie_N_Adore]

These r such good tips. I have a pair of camel coloured rag&bone booties that I literally watch the weather report in order to decide if I should wear them. I thought about scotch guarding them, but always thought they would be discoloured. Glad to know there shouldn't be any effects. I always wondered how u kept the light coloured bags free of any colour transfer, so happy u shared your tips!

[@hemademejj]

Thanks for these great tips! What is the black bag on the bottom shelf at 10:36? It looks so sleek.

[@thefultons1864]

Loved this, thank you for sharing your knowledge. Why don't you store your bags in the dust bags?

[@cristinacanut6099]

Hi! Great video! I have a question. I just purchased the Chanel suede espadrilles with pearls. They are so beautiful and I want to protect them with Scotchgard but I'm afraid the spray might damage the pearls. Do you have any tips on how to prevent anything from happening? Thanks!

[@gloriaqiu5975]

This is very useful! I'm wondering what is the reason you condition your denim instead of your Chloe drew bag. Seems that it works for shoes, why not do it on bags too?

[@ChaseAmie]

I did spray my Chloe Drew as well! The tip was more for if you wanted double protection (can never be too careful!) or if you had something that you didn't want to spray, i.e. I haven't had the nerve to try one of my Chanel bags yet! :)

[@gloriaqiu5975]

Chase Amie that's good to know! I'll definitely try the spray and the stain cleaner as well. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@jolyntan2775]

Hi there! May I know if you condition your Chanel lambskin bags? If yes, do you mind sharing what leather conditioner do you use for Chanel lambskin and how frequent do you do it?

[@lolagracecalligraphy7445]

Hi Amie,I recently purchase a Black Chanel Boy Bag in Chevron. Would you recommend spraying it with Collonil Pro? Aside from protecting the bag, I want to make sure that I can avoid any color transfer from this bag to my new Burberry pink trench. Thanks in advance for your help!

[@CC-wl3rt]

Thank you for these amazing tips. They are very useful. I was wondering if you think the steaming method would work on caviar leather. I recently purchased the mini in the iridescent rose gold like your new small classic flap. There is a slight crease on the flap near the opening. Thank you!

[@luxurylovers2601]

CC123 Have you tried on Caviar yet? I was wondering the same.

[@la-nw6yz]

Hi Amie, I was wondering if you could do another updated video on this for 2020 or let me know if these are still the same steps you use now. I bough the Bottega Veneta cassette in black but I truly wanted it in the off white color but was too scared of color transfer. Looking forward to your reply, thanks!

[@PishTosh83]

Great tip on steaming leather bags. 👍 I would have never dared to do that before!

[@kannitha89]

Hey Amie, can you please make a video on how to care for Chanel bags for beginners? I just got my first Chanel classic flap! And I feel like you were with me along the way, I watched all of your videos, and I love them. It helps me tremendously in term of researching and deciding on my first investment piece! I am a bit scared to use it at the moment because I'm not sure how to properly care for it. Looking forward to receiving your help and tips! Thanks so much for making such insightful videos!

[@CL-yt8kc]

Can I use any of those sprays directly on designer bags to protect them from rain and colour transfer?

[@KimberLy-om5es]

I have been searching for this video!! I watched it quite some time ago but I couldn't remember the name of the spray or the name of the video...sigh. Thanks for linking this video!! Life saver!!

[@mixedandknot5911]

Amy, great instructions and demos. Can you suggest a dye for my Louis Vuitton vachetta bag. I want to change the vachetta leather color from natural to black. Thanks in advance.

[@vivianluong2508]

would you suggest adding any lotions or conditioners to your bags? Ive heard the apple products are great but not sure if its something i would use on my lambskin or calfskin bags.

[@bishieprince]

With your jeans, does washing counteract the effect of the sprays? It seems like it would be annoying to have to spray your jeans after every wash to protect your bags

[@jenjen8371]

bishieprince I was wondering the same. Amie do you spray your jeans everytime you wear it with a light colored bag or once is enough? I just wonder if the efficacy of the spray lasts through washing? Also, since you said the spray has a strong odor, do you end up washing your jeans after they have been sprayed and set? How often do you spray your suede items? This video was so informative! I love dark denim and I love light colored bags --- I always worry about color transfer and have had a few minor incidents 😩 I'm so glad moving forward I have better info to keep my items from those incidents. Thanks Amie!!!

[@bethyu2715]

Wondering the same thing!

[@KatDuchnicky]

I am wondering the exact same thing...

[@aliced.5816]

bishieprince still waiting for the answer

[@joannedillow6328]

yes, wondering same thing! thank you for the great ideas

[@tzeling]

Hi Amie, could you please share if you have spray your Chanel handbags with the Collonil CarbonPro or have it waterproofed with other spray? Is it okay to spray the whole bag including the metal hardware? Or I shall avoid spraying hardware? And also with your Valentino shoes, does the waterproof spray affect the gold stud colour (e.g. discolour or fade)? Would really hope to hear from you! Thankss

[@elvis12893]

Great video. I noticed that your shoes are all facing front. I saw on another video that they should be shown one forward once back (per pair). That way you can see the heel style too.

[@nancyharris9909]

Terrific tips! I never thought to do the "box in box"...will have to try it. Thanks!

[@kana_fayrin3275]

Wow 🤩 they are very useful tips and next level of caring our lovely leather bags and goods.

[@cherryberry2366]

Can u pls share some ideas on how to fix shapeless bag straps?

[@ek2169]

Loved this video! So useful. How often do you spray your suede items? And even if you don't clean your bags with anything, do you make sure to condition all of them regularly? I now make sure to rain proof all of my bags, I had my 5000eur brand new hermes bag ruined by rain and the leather got permanently damaged and can't be repaired..

[@BabybubuSingalong]

Emil Karlsson Hermes leather cannot be sprayed with rain proof spray, it will turn patchy, your best bet is to bring the rain coats out.

[@ek2169]

Yuen, Hermes leathers are very high quality, but it's still just leather. If leather from other brands can be rain-proofed, then so can Hermes leather

[@vintagecoachcollector]

Emil Karlsson it can be dyed black

[@Formerstyle]

I use carbon pro on all my bags to rain proof them including my hermes and chanel bags, love lolo mentioned above has a video of them using carbon pro and then soaking a GST

[@kirakjear9812]

Awesome tips! A great hack for louboutins is to place iPad protectors on the sole to protect the red bottoms. It works like a charm!

[@dbetaki8846]

Hair dryer always works, to reform a bag. Saved me from so many bag spa expenses. Hair dryer, and oil to moisturize the leather afterwards.

[@ChaseAmie]

That's so good to know, thank you!

[@AGirlinBoston]

Great tips! I have one other one that I've used. I have a light beige caviar Chanel flap that gets color transfer all the time. I use a pencil eraser and it mostly comes out. I probably wouldn't try it on a more supple leather but it seems to work on the caviar.

[@suzysizzle]

These are awesome! Do you have any tricks for restoring velvet? I got water on mine just from washing my hands and now a small section of the velvet is crushed :(

[@aileenepd8167]

Hi Amie thanks for the tips and tricks you shared. Do you also clean the sole of your shoes after using them, before keeping them back in the shelves?

[@angelicaecampos]

Thanks for the tips, how do you keep the shape of your tall boots? Thanks

[@KarenBritChick]

Definitely doing the dust bag thing!

[@clair233]

What would you recommend to spray on Louis Vuitton canvas ?

[@Formerstyle]

You should check out the love lolo website (mentioned above) they have special products for canvas bags x

[@apinkcandy]

Thanks for sharing these tricks! What kind of leather is your chanel jumbo bag? Look gorgeous!

[@victoriachavira1922]

This is such a helpful video. You are one of my favorite youtubers. You have such grace.

[@CapeCodBelle]

Fantastic hacks Aimee! I already use two of your hacks, but the rest were completely new to me. Thanks for sharing!

[@wrecklisseve]

Great information! Do you think the steaming would work on structure loss at the top of a camera style bag? Thanks.

[@justinelam8830]

Amie, my Chanel woc has creases on the top of the flap. People say the lambskin probably dried out bc i didn’t use it for several months. Do you recommend trying the steamer on it?

[@ckamalikajayawickrama4723]

What a useful video amie. Loved it. Love your closet specially all your lovely tote bags💖

[@karenliang8206]

Hey Amie! The denim locking you mentioned, does it come out in the wash? How often do you have to spray them? Thanks!

[@kpopfanatic1809]

Do you clean the base of your heels after every use before putting them back to the shelf?

[@BitznPiecez]

Hi Amie, great tips! Especially the steamer. On your shoe collection , what are the two rose orblush colored shoes? The heels and wedges? They are lovely, have been looking everywhere for those types!

[@ChaseAmie]

I think you might mean the Gucci suede ones and the Stuart Weitzman wedges?

[@lexiveliz2797]

You are so lovely and your tips are always things i have never thought of or heard before!

[@ChaseAmie]

Thank you Lexi! So glad you enjoyed it :)

[@Sara01977]

Perfect timing! I was just going on and on about how I never get color transfer on any of my bags. What happens? MAJOR navy blue color transfer all of the back of my Gucci Soho Disco bag in red. I guess being in hot humid Florida all day was the downfall. I've tried a wet cloth, baby wipes and leather cleaner and nothing will take it off. I will have to try the Carbon Gold Cream. Fingers crossed, as I wear this crossbody bag the most for vacation and long day excursions.

[@doegamer8964]

I have a new lamb skin Tory Burch soft fleming and its the tiramisu color... anyway im afaid to use it, what should i protect it with??? Leather cleaner, protector, and conditioner?? Wish i could find an all in one..

[@jeanninekingdom2158]

Regarding the denim tip- does it last after washing or is it best to do it regularly? Jeannine

[@lannykurniawan2648]

Thank u, I have the same issue dark blue jeans colour transfer to my pink coco handle.

[@australialover24]

Do you spray your Chanel caviar bags with any of those sprays mentioned or no?

[@luxurylovers2601]

Hello, I have a question. The steam out creases part. Can I do with the caviar leather? Thanks

[@angelafonte9846]

Hi Amie, this video is very useful! What would you recommend to protect a LV Alma canvas bag? Thank you!

[@justinesoucy]

These will be so useful for when I finally get a luxury piece! I love your tip about the jeans because I have a beige longchamp that I could never wear with my favourite pair of jeans but now I can! I love what you did with your closet! So clever!

[@audreymaria117]

Amie, tell me, have you had any experience or insight into Carbon Gold cream removing stains that have been around a long time? I'm new to luxury goods and I got a stain on a leather bag several months ago and had no idea how to get it out. Do you think the cream would take the stain out at this point? It's been 4 months.

[@Buttercookiesssss]

Hi Amie! What do you think of applying clear nail varnish on corners of coloured bags to protect from dirt? Will it damage the leather instead? TIA! Xoxo

[@SassyMum_reviews]

Wow!! This video is best I've watched on youtube recently. Very useful & informative. 👍👍

[@jeaniekimchi]

Do you recommend spraying your bags as well?

[@PockySticksx3]

Loved this video! I have a white chanel o card holder and I can't seem to use it comfortably. Have you ever sprayed any of your bags/slg with any of the products you mentioned?

[@rosemariemassey7480]

Hi Amie, thanks for sharing ur "hacks." What is the name of ur closet system from Ikea? I am planning to do a closet make over? Thank u😘

[@ChaseAmie]

Mine is the PAX system that you can put together and mix and match yourself. It was a total headache to put up haha but I absolutely love it now! Such great value as well, I think the whole thing cost less than £1000.

[@sam4mj]

Which bracelet are u wearing in the video? Thanks

[@jennbeebs8220]

This is amazing! But one question? Amie, what would you recommend o remove colour transfer on patent leather? Thank you!!!

[@LoveLoloAccessories]

It's very hard to remove colour transfer on patent! You can try Collonil Lack Polish :)

[@jamiem3033]

What is the foldable bag that you used to protect your bag from the rain the big pink one?

[@Buttercookiesssss]

Thanks for sharing your tips Amie! For preventing Colour transfer, do you recommend spraying a rain/ stain repellent on the lighter coloured bag instead? I am using the Apple brand Garde "rain and stain repellent" what do you think of this product? Hope to hear from thanks!! 💕💕💕

[@cathys9946]

thanks for sharing such amazing tips!! I'm always careful to display my bags in the shelf, it is so easy to get dust on them! Could you share your tips on that? I see your bags are all displayed in the shelf without any cover/dust bag

[@mommygliza2301]

May I know the brand of your steamer? The handheld one pls 😊

[@nadiabennett4652]

Such an incredible informative video !!!wish I knew about the colour transfer tips earlier, I've damaged some shoes n bags with my jeans :( as for stuffing clothes in bags hahahaha I thought i was the only one who done that haha. Completely love this video !! Thank you !!xx

[@vinj4559]

Omg these are great tips!!! Can we do the same steamer trick for lv canvas??

[@moeekayi]

Can Renapur be used for vintage lambskin chanel? I saw so many conditioner and some says good some say no and so confused 😭

[@stephg6926]

For your color transfer/waterproof sprays, do you have to respay every few weeks/months or spray once and you're done?

[@goddessnadiya]

I've been watching since your subscribers were less than 10K, and now you are approaching that 100K button! I'm so proud of you!

[@theshoebridgess]

Oh my goodness, that beautiful colour of the Fendi peekaboo 😍

[@theshoebridgess]

.. Also this was such an incredibly helpful video, I have a few creases in my flap bag and never knew how to get them out as it's such a supple material! Xxx

[@magi320]

Hi Aime, do you think I can use the protection spray the inside of the YSL tote?

[@Karin730]

@chaseamie. Excellent video. I had no idea you can color block your items. Wish i had known on my LV Damier Azur Canvas bag. I bought the Collonil Carbon Pro spray. Would you recommend using it on Chanel leather goods? For Lambskin or caviar leather? On jeans, do you have to reapply after washing them?

[@victoriawildman9981]

Hi Amie, great ideas! A couple of tips from me. Suede reviver sprays are really good to refresh dark suede shoes/boots and for light marking on pale suede an artist's putty rubber used very gently works well. I also like to use shoe trees for some footwear to keep it in shape and remove creasing. For pure wool clothing a very fine water spray mist will remove any creasing after wear.

[@cilli74]

Hi Amie, Could you please tell me the Designer and the name of the model of the bag at n. 8 (Always reuse packaging)?? And the name of the color. I love shopping bags :-) Many Thanks C. PS what's the name of the color of your Gucci Marmont nude flap?? thanks

[@shalula85]

Hi Amie, some great tips here! Quick question, should you condition saffiano leather? I have a couple of Michael Kors bags that are saffiano leather xxx

[@lyralei]

wow, that was truly an impressive number of unique tips, and they all looked extremely effective!

[@sodance3734]

I have a Q, do u know any hacks to protect the longchamp classic nylon bag? I love that bag so much, thank you

[@Formerstyle]

Carbon pro will work on the nylon bags too

[@annaindeed]

when you use color proof your clothes, do you have to redo it every so often (because of washing clothes)?

[@flavialm1]

Is there any product that can be used on the Luis Vuitton leather to avoid him getting darker.

[@vandakat]

The most useful video! Thanks for all the tips!

[@christinan9553]

Very great and useful tips! I will definitely be trying these out!

[@Chicprofessor]

This is such a great video! Not only are the tips amazing but the editing is awesome- good job and good job to whoever recovered the data!

[@MyMaria1224]

Great tips!!! Do you put anything under your Valentino rockstuds? Or any of your other nice shoes 😍

[@jeanwangg]

i would add stuffing in the dust bags to store in your bags like the retailers do in-store. easier to take out and put back in or swap with other bags.

[@asdwhite1]

Wow these are amazing!!! I didn't know you could coat or protect jeans

[@MissHillah]

I just steamed my new vintage Gucci bag as it was creased ant it actually worked! My bag is like new now, thank you!🥰

[@kellystoner5195]

Fantastic tips! Thanks for not giving up on this video :)

[@missg1013]

Hi Ms. Chase, another helpful video from you..You really know how to protect your investments..

[@ClearlyClaire]

Amie - how would you go about cleaning the Longchamp Le Pliage canvas bags? I heard you're not supposed to wash them as the water will ruin the leather handles, but wiping them down doesn't seem to get everything out. Any tips? Thanks!

[@ChaseAmie]

If you have stains, try antibacterial wipes (the kind you use for the kitchen!) with a little bit of vanish. I do this for stains on clothing so it should work for other types of material too :) (but patch test first!!)

[@ClearlyClaire]

Thank you so much, Amie! I'll definitely try that!

[@RoxanneBeaulieu]

Hi! Do you have any idea on how the remove marks (color transfert or any kind of dirt) on Louis Vuitton Monogram bags? I don't want to wash the beige leather part with water because I'm scared to leave dark circles on the Patina. Thank you! :):) xo
