Hi, my loves!! I completely understand that the general consensus is that luxury items are overpriced and to be honest we are paying for "designer" brand names. However even as a lux lover myself there are still many luxury items I don't think are worth the price tag BUT I have some fab alternatives for you! I personally own heaps of these alternatives so I hope you find the video helpful and interesting. Remember BUY what YOU love! If you love it then it's worth it! x Mel

Hi Mel are you able to let us know and link where to get the insert for the ysl clutch? Thank you. I’m in Australia btw

[@angelthelson]

I cannot find the Ray bag at the Mirta website anymore 😞

[@capitankylep.3745]

It's very fascinating that everytime you uploaded new videos I simply encounter new brands. And it really help me to broaden my knowledge on fashion and sustainability as well 😊

[@meatiethatsme2471]

Hi Mel. I love your picks. Especially the Valentino mini. It is just adorable! I agree about the Neverfull. I gave mine away because I didn't have a use for it and feel it's overdone. Thank you for this informative video.🥰🥰

[@AmyiReport]

Hi Mel, you are so kind! You shouldn‘t worry about offend anyone because you are in title to your honest opinions, you tried to save us money by recommand alternatives, I think you are very helpful and Sincere in this video. Thank you!

[@gizellevalenzuela7124]

i never skip watching ur vlogs.. i loved watching it esp after a very toxic duty. God bless and keep inspiring other people.im a filipina working here in Saudi Arabia🇵🇭🇸🇦 i learned a lot from ur vlogs im also into bags and jewelries..

[@octobermoon9]

These are wonderful alternatives. I purchased the DAILY BATTLE 37 Steel Grey Ecailles Canvas / Black Leather for about $930 in November of 2019 after watching your video about it back then and I love it. It is a great bag and I've never seen anyone else in my area with one. Thank you for sharing your recommendations with us.

[@bluestarstsl]

Thank you so much for your suggestion Mel. I am in love with the new YSL colour!

[@MelinMelbourne]

My pleasure Melissa! The new col is so dreamy x 😍

[@Theresa1002]

Ok this was fun and informative. Good to have lower cost options. 😊 Thanks Mel! Love the white love shack fancy dress.

[@jaks_bag_attack]

I am totally with you on the neverful I want a zipper, when you have a big tote that is not closed it is really easy to reach in from the back.

[@jesusisfaithful7]

WOW MEL YOU LOOK SIMPLY GORGEOUS. THAT COLOR LOOKS SO AMAZING ON YOU. THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR HONEST OPINION MEL, KEEP UP THE INCREDIBLE WORK 👏👏

[@itsourlocallife]

Ahh…this video was so helpful. Chloe tote was on my wish list forever, but now I will look into the Marc Jacob tote! 🌺🤙

[@user-fo6ne3go4i]

Thankyou for showing the differences and I just love the idea of the “other” similar types and comparing. Plus giving us more choices of brands to buy bags.

[@pattywilliams788]

Hello there, Mel! I’ve just recently discovered your videos and I am a new subscriber. I love handbags and appreciate your knowledge of many them out there. I don’t own any luxury ones (I have 5 Dooney & Bourke bags) but I’m interested in learning more luxury. I really enjoy your videos, so thank you so much for sharing.

[@MelinMelbourne]

Hi Patty! Welcome to the #faMELy! Happy to have you here! I really appreciate you watching! Xx

[@ReneeSLiu]

I'm currently using Neverfull but planning to get the FLP tote in a year or two. I like that it has the zipper and more low key. Going to Hawaii next month. Look forward to your travel vlog Mel!

[@MelinMelbourne]

Hi Renee, the NEVERFULL is still a functional bag so totally understand why so many people love it but yes I think you may like the FLP more hehe Oh have the best time in Hawaii my dear Xx

[@ditasbonicillo4380]

Awesome video! Thank you so much, Mel! Helpful indeed. And Chino is just so adorable.😍❤️

[@MelinMelbourne]

So glad it was helpful Ditas Xx

[@talacanete]

🐱 Hi Mel, There's also a Marc Jacobs that looks like the Neverfull. That's the one that I own before but I handed it to mom because she likes it. As for the clothing, I agree that there're a lot of options that won't hurt the pocket. Anyway, it's in how we carry it that truly matters. 😘❤

[@Igsr0909]

Mel!!! I’ve just bought the Valentino Vsling mini bag because of this video on Mytheresa 😂😂 that actually has NEVER happen to me when I see a video here on KZbin but I’m a sucker for mini bags and I’ve been wanting a Valentino bag for some time now and it was just perfect! I bought it in the gold color 😊😊 I couldn’t use the code for it but I’m guessing it’s because I’m not a first time customer like it says in the description or because it’s bag and it won’t accept the code. Still, like you said, it’s a really good price compared to other brands 😊 also you answered all of my questions in terms of what it fits, if it fits my IPhone13 pro max and how it looks on the body, so Thank you! 😄😊😊 very happy with my purchase 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@amyqueenofdiamonds]

Thanks for sharing Mel!!! Your dress is beautiful 😻 def will need to check them out!

Hi Mel, I discovered the YSL clutch because of your previous video so I recently bought it for my bday. I'm planning to get another one but in a different color!

[@winniest29]

😻 I totally agree with the YSL clutch vs WOC. Love this video.

[@MelinMelbourne]

Thanks so much Winnie xx

[@missanamarie]

I love you for these videos! Even though you are wealthy, you are still relatable and show true humility. Your videos make me fall in love with fashion. I'm introduced to so many brands that I've never heard of. I can tell that you enjoy fashion as well (and not just for the brand names). You are a breath of fresh air!

[@MelinMelbourne]

Aww that truly is the best compliment I could receive lovely! Thank you so much! I’m glad my passion for luxury translates through the camera as it’s something I’ve been passionate about for 20 years. I will continue to be as informative as possible and share new brands with all the fam bam. Thank you for taking the time to leave me this feedback xo ❤️

Hey Mel! These videos are super helpful! Definitely helps me save so much on dupes! Cause of you, I saved money on buying the YSL clutch instead of the WOC!

I love this video, thank you for the alternatives....like you, I also love Alemais.😻😻

[@MoonRaven777]

I hope you’ll make more of these kind of videos,they’ll be so worth it! The white dress you bought looks so much better than the two expensive ones. I love the Mirta Ray bag so much more than the Hermes bag.🥰 And the Valentino mini bag is super cute!😍 The price difference between the two YSL bags is ridiculous! They are almost the same! You are also right with the Chloë tote bag and the Marc Jacobs tote bag…but I do like the Chloë one also very much..I can never afford that one but maybe I can find a preloved one or Marc Jacobs one.😊 I can’t wait for the Hawaii vlogs!🙏🏻😁Thank you Mel for sharing all this.🙏🏻🥰

Totally agree with you Mel about Alemais. I own two pieces - beautiful fabric and attention to detail. Real quality. Zimmerman is seriously over-priced. Much love from Melbourne! ❤

[@MelinMelbourne]

Hi my fellow melburnian! :) Oh yay I’m so glad you agree too! I still love Zimmermann but wow I can’t believe how much it’s gone up the past few years. I remember when they were at Sydney markets Xx

[@LadyOfShaIott]

@@MelinMelbourne I know, it’s crazy. A lot of Zimmerman pieces seem to end up on eBay…I’m guessing people buy them for a special occasion then, perhaps, have buyer’s remorse at the cost and try to recoup some funds. Understandable. Alemais is a far superior brand. Love your show and your wonderful style and advice. Much love to you and your family 🥰

[@youngjuanderson1049]

Love my MJ tote!! So well priced n tongue in cheek. Can you recommend a felt insert for this bag to help prevent over time potential sagging?

[@carolquijano9778]

Hi, my love! I have been watching you everyday and checking all the time to see if you have any new vlogs. I subscribed to a lot of fashion vloggers' channels but I unsubscribed to most of them, if not all, and kept yours. I couldn't keep up watching a lot. I chose to keep yours for reasons (1) you are fun to watch (2) you focus on the products and explains each of its features (3) you give tips as well as pros and cons of buying (4) you give your honest opinion on a product and being upfront if it's not worth buying it (5) you show a lot of affordable but really nice products that I haven't seen elsewhere and (6) I feel the genuiness in you. Thank you for sharing your personal life with your viewers. I have been very inspired with your humble begginings. I am not one to give reviews but I felt the need to share with you my thoughts and feelings about you and what you show to your viewers. I will always keep an eye on your new vlogs. Keep it coming Mel! You're just the sweetest 🙂

[@MelinMelbourne]

Hi Carol! Awww thank you so so much for your such positive feedback and the sweetest compliments ever. The fact you have taken the time to list all the reasons why you enjoy watching me….it truly means the world to me 🥰❤️ Your comment really made my day and inspires me to keep creating content that is both fun but also educational.

I disagree on the Chloe versus Marc Jacobs tote bag preferences. Personally, I don't understand the hype around the MJ one. Is it okay to say that I think it looks like an insulated lunchbox? 😂

Bought the YSL clutch last weekends after watching your video last week. I bought the black classic one, wanted to buy the trio print but noticed both side of the shape are not symmetrical thus bought the classic black one. The quality is amazing, comparable to Chanel Bag. So happy to own my 1st YSL clutch at such a amazing price although i purchase full pricr from the boutique. Thanks Mel for the recommendation. 🥰

Mel! I actually bought a MJ tote (in neon green mesh) instead of the Woody tote! Colour and material are the main reasons I bought it but also because here in HK the Woody totes are everywhere, like literally everywhere 😂 and I love the MJ tote, so functional!

Hi Mel, thank you for sharing. Chino for sure has got great taste of bags too🤣🐱.

[@bammbooozledd]

Unpopular opinion but I agree that the Chloe Woody Tote. People love it but I personally prefer a sturdier bag with a bit more security (like a zipper or some sort of closure).

[@OlesyaBagStory]

Hi, Mel! As always lovely video! The problem with YSL pouch is that only Samorga inserts and chains are good, but did you see the cost of delivery? I do not recall precisely, but the set of insert, chain like YSL and crazy shipping cost (minimum 60 usd and increases when you order more items) like around 200 usd, and it does not make much sense to play this game. BTW idea for your next collabs -not discount, but free shipping

[@OlesyaBagStory]

They should do something about shipping cost, it is simply offensive in 2022 for small bag accessories

[@giulitittarellibruff]

Hi Mel, where can I find the insert you have for your YSL clutch to turn it into a crossbody?! Love that idea! So perfect 😍

People buy the items that they like or some items may have been gifted to them. There are many luxury brands that do things differently.

But this time and thanks 🙏🏻 to your video will also be considering the Fauré la Page 📄 one ☝️ as they have more sizes and a much more affordable price than the LV 💸💸💸 😉😉😉❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋

Just was on Harrods and the Jacquemus basket bag is $475 USD even cheaper alternative

Hi. What are your thoughts on the LV FOLD ME POUCH?

[@elviralukmanova272]

I have just got MJ tote bag mini and I loooove it ❤

[@MelinMelbourne]

Congrats lovely! What color did you get? xx

[@NOT-WOKE-007]

The paisley dress is adorable.

Hi Mel, did you had your daily battle 32 bag customized? I haven’t seen the same tote of yours w/ a zipper in their website. I just really love the idea of having my things in safe.

[@MelinMelbourne]

No I didn't lovely. The daily battle is also offered on in the zip version in the size 27, 32 and 37. It should be on the website x

Hi Mel, have you tried or heard the brand Gouyard St. Louis? It also looks like Never Full and Daily Battle Tote.

I’m really not a fan of the Marc jacobs bag. I don’t like how it says “the tote bag” in huge letters. Like whyyy?

[@Iconicmiamire]

I love Goyard ❤
