REVIEWING MY BALENCIAGA X GUCCI OPHIDIA TOTE

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

I have heard that some Bag People travel with a dust bag and pop the bag into that when putting it through the x-ray machines at airports. Thank you for the video. Enjoy your day!

[@DaylesAddiction]

Yes I've heard that too Daniel - that just seems like hard work to me!

[@DaniOchannel]

I'm not into designer totes. I bump them around too much, but i love this collab. The purple in your eyeshadow and top really makes your Fendi baguette pop!

[@DaylesAddiction]

Ha ha it’s all about the Fendi!

[@THECLOSETbyConnor]

I love these videos haha such a cool bag, the novelty hasn’t worn off on me yet 😘😘

[@DaylesAddiction]

Ooooh a novelty bag you say....

[@THECLOSETbyConnor]

Thank you for the great review! The Ophidia tote with the white trim has been on my radar. I’m so happy to see you’re enjoying your bag.

[@DaylesAddiction]

Definitely give it a try either at home or instore Laura!

[@michelledavenport9596]

Hi Dayle, as you know, your video came just at the right time for me and now I’m the very happy owner of the Gucci Ophidia tote after my very surprising shopping trip!! This was a fab review (even though you say you don’t like doing them!). Love love love how you style it, I was definitely influenced!

[@DaylesAddiction]

Hey Michelle, I was so happy to get your lovely message and I’m keloids of that bougee interior on your tote…. You’ll feel fabulous every time you carry it, it’s a beautiful bag!

[@elizabethscrivens]

Mine arrived today, the Gucci tote. Love it. I keep watching your review of the lilac fendi mini baguette because I was torn between the two, hopefully I will own a fendi mini one day. Your MTO looks stunning x

[@DaylesAddiction]

Elizabeth - congratulations!! That mini baguette is such a dream, I really love the mini baguette and when I find my next one I'll jump on it!

[@fuchsiafloyd]

You are so good at reviews--you have a great eye for detail. Thanks for doing this one! I think it was very helpful.

[@DaylesAddiction]

Thanks for the encouragement Fuchsia - much appreciated!

[@newvicki08]

Thanks, Dayle. I have my eyes on the Denim Ophidia Tote. 😍

[@DaylesAddiction]

I know it’s not quite as structured so it might be a good option!

[@SmallTownGirlWendy]

🐊 You have a beautiful Fendi collection Dayle. Your mink Fendi First is gorgeous and your new chain is perfect 🤩

[@DaylesAddiction]

Thanks so much, they are a winning combination!

[@belindalw]

Thanks for this. I was thinking of getting the new blue ophidia tote, but I want it to travel with, so thanks for the heads up.

[@DaylesAddiction]

That bag is a little less structured I believe so it might just do the trick!

[@yanacardillo7408]

I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE this bag!!! Definitely on my radar to buy. Thank you for your video

[@DaylesAddiction]

I hope you can find it, it's so fun!

[@mbelieve9919]

Great review. Thank you Dayle.

[@DaylesAddiction]

Thanks lovely!

[@lesliecraven3087]

Very helpful video. Thank you. This is why I like my Epi neverfull. It has structure just like your Gucci hacker project tote.

[@DaylesAddiction]

The perfect combination of the canvas Neverfull and the Gucci Ophidia! Thanks for sharing ;)

[@acha7417]

Such a fun bag! Looks great on you 😊💕

[@DaylesAddiction]

Thank you!

[@AutumnBeckman]

A review video, eh? You did a great job with it. Beautiful bag. Good to know about the airplane seat. I scratched my Neverfull the first time I took it on a plane, too.

[@DaylesAddiction]

ha ha thanks Autumn, I struggle so much with motivation to do these videos.... waaaa

[@StyledByGwenny]

I'm just happy to see more of this bag! 👀

[@DaylesAddiction]

It is a cool bag Gwenny, if you ever find it, buy it!

[@deemccarthy8456]

Another great video Dayle. I thought you sold the denim speedy or did you change your mind🧐

[@DaylesAddiction]

It’s sold, this one was filmed a couple of weeks ago… I had more pressing videos to post!

[@deemccarthy8456]

Did you keep the cute little denim speedy bagcharm. It's so cute but the price is a bit high. I'm looking forward to seeing your new Fendi in a few months.

[@DaylesAddiction]

@@deemccarthy8456 absolutely I kept the baby 🥰🤗

[@Erindhollis]

I have the regular Ophedia tote. Love it. Thanks for the video and for sharing your impressions. Always good for viewing. ☺️🤩☺️

[@kjn410]

Hi! Have you ever had to clean the lining, by any chance?

[@Erindhollis]

@@kjn410 no not yet.

[@elinalall3475]

Thanks for the review! I didn't think about the piling/lint on the fabric strip of the bag, good to know. I don't usually use totes but when I do, I prefer a zip tote and I've stuck to a contemporary designera using a plain tote but the Faure le page daily battle zip tote is on my radar but not sure if I will purchase. Great suggestion about checking out the refund policy if after researching a bag it doesn't work out. I did that with the LV onthego MM shortly after it released but for the money, it was a bit wonky by the opening and didn't work out for me so I unfortunately returned it but the return policy gave me peace of mind in the event it didn't. Hope you are having a good day/night ❤️

[@DaylesAddiction]

Pleasure - it's not a deal breaker for me but it may be for others. Good to know that about the LV onthego tote!

[@devincristopher3]

Such a beautiful bag🌈🤗🎀💚🎀

[@DaylesAddiction]

Thanks Devin she’s saucy!

[@bellandpearls602]

Love the size of the bag! Such a great work bag

[@DaylesAddiction]

Yes it's perfect for work in my opinion!

[@tiamarnie7323]

I remember watching you unbox it and just fell in love with it. By that time they were sold out. 😫 It’s so nice to see you enjoy it! Great review. 😊

[@DaylesAddiction]

Thank you Tia :)

[@superbrujita]

Love it!! However I learn that I’m not a tote person and your videos are really helpful.

Love the bag review Dayle I know you aren’t a fan of doing them but I love that you are honest and actually use the bags. I love my WT neverfull. My favourite review you did was the Cartier Alternatives please do a follow up on this one 🌸

[@DaylesAddiction]

Hey Susan - yes, I've been so busy with Fendi I haven't had a chance, or money to follow up! I will at some stage!

[@claremcgann7570]

[@DaylesAddiction]

Thanks gorgeous!

[@Chloe-nq1hg]

Hi where did you get your water bottle from ?

[@DaylesAddiction]

From an Aussie Company called Memobottle

[@Erindhollis]

PS I’ve noticed that snap lock on the Gucci ophedia is serious! It must be a strong magnet bc it loves snapping shut even when the magnets are just mildly close together.

[@DaylesAddiction]

Oh absolutely, if you don't pack it to the brim watch your fingers!

[@patriciaquintela899]

Is a great bag. Probably my favorite tote. For the plain I opt for my le pliage néo because of the zipper, pliability and price but for everyday this is probably it. I think due to its structure looks much more expensive and chic❤️.

[@DaylesAddiction]

It is super fun to wear and always draws a question or two!

[@patriciaquintela899]

@@DaylesAddiction yes. Your choices with a twist are always inspiring 😘

[@mylifemyjourney1]

Great review, I have been eyeing a travel tote and considered this one (maybe). Does it fit the same amount of stuff as the neverful? I really feel that the neverful mm is a bit bigger as far as the height.

[@DaylesAddiction]

Thank you - I would prefer the Neverfull for travel as I mentioned but I would put the same amount in each. This one has a better strap drop than the Neverfull so technically you might fit more in it.

[@NoraHelmer023]

It’s such an incredibly cool, unique bag; I love seeing your Instagram pics when you are carrying this one. It looks so edgy. I know you don’t like doing bag reviews, but I love them, haha. I had toyed with the idea of an Ophedia, but my two truths are: (1) I need a zip across tote (which I’m not sure exists in designer version-I carry a Tory Burch zip-top) because I always, always tip over my totes (whether in the car, at work, wherever) and (2) I’m pretty abusive to tote bags by overweighting them, so I’m not sure I’m ready to step up and destroy the handles and shape on a designer one!

[@DaylesAddiction]

Oh thanks Nora, I so appreciate that! I just find reviews boring because I already know, but I have to take the mindset I'm just catching up with friends and sharing my thoughts.. weirdly these videos require quite a lot of thought! The only zipped designer tote that's hardy that I'm aware of is the Faure Le Page Daily Battle!

[@belindalw]

Prada do a zipped tote. But from memory the zip doesn’t go the whole way along.

[@NoraHelmer023]

@@belindalw Thanks for the suggestions, Belinda and Dayle, to check out Prada and Faure Le Page. I’ll have to do some investigation!

[@mandyreardon2177]

Hi Dayle. I do love the bag but I'm not a fan of the graffiti, sorry. I bet it's a great conversation starter though? I did consider the medium Gucci Ophidia tote but I ended up buying the Neverful pm: purely because its smaller and I wouldn't be able to carry so much junk, which meant its easier on my bad back. 🤣

[@DaylesAddiction]

It’s definitely not for everyone but it’s the only one I would buy!

[@TheHellmis]

Nice midnight watch😍👍… thank you Dayle for this review… I like the Gucci ophidia so much because of the beloved green/red stripes on it and this hacker project version is just awesome…so different and fun….reminds me on my „GUCCI SMART“… which by the way, we sold🙈😫. We only need one car and my husband has a car from his company…so I had to say goodbye 💚❤️💚. But can you imagine how cool would be a graffiti on it like on your bag saying: THIS IS NOT A GUCCI SMART 🤣🤣🤣👍. I think I would have done it… if I still had my beautiful Smart😍

[@DaylesAddiction]

OMG Carmen - you sold your car??? that would have been so great if you had put graffiti on the car!

[@TheHellmis]

@@DaylesAddiction uähhhhh…yes…We sold it…😫😫😫that was so sad, but in these times…it is the best for our planet and we really didn‘t need 2 cars. But if I would have kept it, the Graffiti would have been on it…for sure…could you imagine…this would have been really the 💣😂

This bag is just beautiful and such a 'Dayle ' bag. It was like it was designed specifically for you and your taste. :) I just love it. Would love to see it in person. Keep enjoying her, well that is a given. LOL. Much love. Jenni from Adelaide. XX

I did, only a week ago - I've been busy with explaining my sale of that LV speedy and Connor and Fendi... hee hee

[@aminaelrihany8844]

No no Ur speedy still there lol . U told me it is already gone

[@DaylesAddiction]

No no it’s gone, this video was filmed beforehand 🤗

[@sinnela5807]

I like the tote but I'm absolutely unable to read the GUCCI word in graffiti. The first three letters are such a jumbled mess. I've actually paused several of your videos to try to figure it out, even though I know what it's supposed to say. I feel like a lot of people not familiar with this collab will have a hard time reading it? Or maybe it's just me being Gucci illiterate.

[@DaylesAddiction]

I think it's more Balenciaga illiterate as they do this type of graffiti on a lot of customised pieces so don't worry, your Gucci language skills are just fine!

[@BrandyH-eh9up]

I think that’s the cool thing about it though because it’s like pop art and if you know what it is then you must know something about Gucci
