Thank you babe!!!

I love the way you explained how the sentiment "Happiness is progress" relates to your preference for Hermes. I have prioritized Hermes since the start of my luxury journey. It's GOAT, it's HG.

[@halszka1985]

What progression? This is not a career where you get a promotion, it's fashion brands we're talking about. I don't really understand the idea of progression here. And I'm a loyal customer of Hermes, far more than Chanel, but I don't understand the need to put yourself somehow above another just because you prefer Hermes designs more.

[@FashionablyAMY]

Your brand loyalty is simply a reflection of your personal taste, and it does not define your worth. My own preferences have evolved over time, progressing from Chanel in my 30s to Hermes in my 40s. Please avoid making false assumptions about my statements.

[@MariaRodriguez-om1yi]

Don’t really agree with the “progression”regarding handbags. They are just all handbags all made out of leather especially when you get to the Chanel Louis Vuitton an Hermès quality… the only progression is the price nothing else

[@jesslynchen994]

i sold my gabrielle last week! reason being, not bcos i fell out of love, i love the functionality but because all the leather has came off from the straps and i checked with the boutique, it will take 6 months for them to send to paris and i feel the wait is too long. i bought a seasonal chanel instead! the coco first! very spacious, has the cf look but much more spacious and the price point is good too!

[@fashionablyfrancie5348]

Hi Amy! Happy New Year! 🎆 I have to agree with you in regards to the Chanel 19. I waited a bit to get the 19 as I wasn’t sure I would love it so much. Well, I don’t know why I waited so long, lol! I love my small Chanel 19 in black so much. In fact after a few months of owning my small Chanel black 19 I bought the small Chanel 19 in caramel. They are both such awesome bags!

[@FashionablyAMY]

Wow! I'm so glad you love it so much! The caramel is to die for too! :)

[@u.tt99]

Such a great video, Amy ❤ I didn’t think about how early you got your second offer, the same thing happened to me. I waited for over a year for my B, because I wanted it in Barenia. Therefore I got my B in July, and my K in December. Even my SA said I waited a looong time for for my first offer since it was so rare.

[@FashionablyAMY]

Thank you so much darling. Each of our experiences are so unique and we just need to trust the process :)

[@roimelendez1056]

Wow! Babe i admire your patience!! Hands down! 🙌🏼 especially after hearing about that short story on the last question!!

[@FashionablyAMY]

Thank you so much hun! Your support means so much to me! :)

[@4theloveofbags900]

Great Q&A! All I can say it was a blast celebrating your quotas bags on members live when they were offered to you

[@FashionablyAMY]

You guys are the best! My members are my handbag addict family!!!

[@burberryclaretred6676]

I have bags I still never use but at the moment I want my first Chanel ..woc or should I try gray as my first ( gris perked) or tweed

[@amandygunns]

The grey Chanel (classic flap?) is stunning -- and such a nice color on you! 💛 I'm also totally persuaded by the Gabrielle. I wasn't sure at first but it's really quite chic, esp. in this petite size.

[@FashionablyAMY]

Thank you! Please go have a try, it's a wonderful little bag :) And even if it's not for you, it's still nice eye candy!

[@premeyumlife443]

Thanks for explaining about the repairs on ur bag my lady. 🙏🏼🖤😘😘😘Sandy

[@FashionablyAMY]

Thank you for watching Sandy!

[@burberryclaretred6676]

I need help with Chanel because in Toronto there is only one bag then it’s gone ..I can’t choose from. Selection there is only one and gone …I saw a vanity top handle and it’s sold now

[@evanlau8]

thank you for sharing your back story and vulnerability to the birkin,

[@FashionablyAMY]

Thank you for watching :)

[@yinglinlee8027]

💛 Do you find it a hassle to get in and out of with your Kelly Bag? I prefer it because the shoulder strap and it weighs lighter than the Birkin. Thanks.

[@FashionablyAMY]

I do sometimes. Have a watch at my Birkin vs kelly video as I show and discuss their pros and cons in details both visually and verbally :)

[@kris_tan]

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my question. Enjoy watching your videos❤❤❤

[@FashionablyAMY]

It really made me think :) Honestly if I could learn a language quickly, it could be many more such as Korean, Japanese, Italian, and of course I already mentioned Mandarin and Spanish :)

[@kris_tan]

@@FashionablyAMY Good to learn Korean to understand the Korean drama 👍👍👍

[@lclux2663]

So sorry to hear that you had to wait many months for the B25 and then had to wait many more months to get it back from Paris. I can definitely understand how you feel when you said that while you wait you made a few purchases from Chanel. I’m waiting to get offered a K25 and can sense that it’s coming. But, the waiting time is killing me. I went to Chanel boutique recently and bought a bag. Ended up returning it cuz it didn’t give me the full satisfaction. Continue my H journey which is very expensive indeed! But, I’d rather spend $ on things that give me joy and will treasure for a long time.

[@FashionablyAMY]

Well said hun. I love both C and H but in my current season of life, I can only focus on one brand at a time too :)

[@HolyItsJennny]

Yes we will manifest that mini kelly!💕💕💕😂 I haven’t bought a Hermes bag yet, but one day I will get one! 🙌🏻

[@FashionablyAMY]

Thank you babe! You will when you are ready for it :)

[@joymae]

My heart sank when you picked Hermès over Chanel haha. But maybe because I haven’t had my quota bag yet

[@FashionablyAMY]

Well thank goodness we can pick both in real life :)

[@kaylheecarroll3186]

Great q and a video and love the Chanel 19 bag

[@FashionablyAMY]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to comment :)

[@zedrickapolloshorts6515]

Hi Amy!❤ What size is your Chanel 19? Is it a goatskin? Thanks for sharing!!!❤❤❤

[@FashionablyAMY]

Small size and lambskin from 20C collection :)

[@burberryclaretred6676]

Are you thinking of selling your Chanel collection

[@thanhhaicong6876]

I just bought the chanel 19 for myself. Husband didnt like it but i love it. :))

[@FashionablyAMY]

Congratulations hun! It's okay, my husband doesn't like a lot of the stuff I buy too LOL

[@SabrinaShekofteh]

I would love to add Chanel 19 to my bag collection. ❤❤

[@FashionablyAMY]

Go have a try Sabrina :) It's not as classic though so just take your time to think about it hehe

[@Seemstobereal]

I have been watching your last few videos and you sound like you are getting very affected by comments. I would advise you to not listen to negative comments. It’s your life ..your choices and you don’t have to justify that. You are a content creator and you should just be happy about that.

[@FashionablyAMY]

Thank you for your input and for taking the time to watch my videos. It's true that as a content creator, it can be difficult to navigate negative comments. Thank you again for your support.

[@ellengregroger]

What was wrong with the B??? I'm just curious as I can't imagine a flaw in a H bag.

[@KatL]

Manifestingggggggg your mini Kelly ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@FashionablyAMY]

Yeahhhh babe! You and I both!

[@Restless318]

so happy for you and do best for you

[@FashionablyAMY]

Thank you so much :)

[@JoanneA]

Mini Kelly ❤ hopefully 🤞🏼 u get one soon 🎉

[@FashionablyAMY]

Thank you so much babe!! You too if you're after one :)

[@luxclassylifestyleandfashi3582]

i have the channel 19 bag

[@jo_overjoyeod]

mini kelly for you amy! in mushroom! 🍄🍄 hehe it’s the best!

[@FashionablyAMY]

We'd be twinning!!! Honestly any color would be amazing but the one that's meant to be hehe :)

[@michellechen6818]

Would love to see a video of you speaking Cantonese and Mandarin!

[@FashionablyAMY]

I would love to but probably not many would be able to watch LOL Unless I create a second Cantonese channel only then maybe!

[@hopegardencrafts5247]

Do you have a good Chanel SA can share? I am also from Vancouver

[@FashionablyAMY]

Unfortunately, I am unable to share the information of my Chanel sales associate as I do not have their authorization to do so.

[@sscrayzee]

Hi Amy it you let go of your buckrt bag please let me know 🇨🇦

[@tttyaht]

The “progress” talk as it relates to brand preference is a strange one. It’s obviously not your intention but it shows an underlying status chase. They’re all just bags. There’s no “progress” in consumerism, Amy. Whatever happened to people just enjoying their purchases for the frivolous items they are and not try to morph them into something far more important. I use to enjoy your content but eventually unsubscribed a while ago because you started shopping in a different manner than what I find fun, individualistic or fashionable, personally. This video popped up in my recommended section. I wish you the best of course but yeah, not great fun.

[@FashionablyAMY]

Sorry to hear that's how you feel. Wishing you the best in finding content that aligns with your taste.

[@transat7671]

nice blouse

[@abcdee4090]

💛

[@jbv6584]

This is just my opinion but I think that anyone who wants or does buy a Birkin it is only for the status symbol - I can’t understand the Birkin as it is s limited - no shoulder or crossbody carry has to be carried by hand only - just not practical- the 25 can’t even be put on the crook of your arm as the handle is so small!

[@Justme-x4h]

I was used to not like top handle carry bags but now they are my favorites. I wouldn’t even use the shoulder straps on a birkin. I love the birkin because of how it is made. No need for any straps for me. Actually I’ve got 2 picotins that are only hand carry just because these bags are totally my style. I am older, I have my 2 hands free and I love wearing these bags in the crook of my arms. The Birkin 25 wouldn’t be my first choice though because it’s impossible to wear it in the crook of my arm and I wear my 30 a lot like it. All of it to say, not all of us, love straps and top handle carry is something we really love.

[@FashionablyAMY]

Birkin bags may not be everyone's taste and may be perceived as a symbol of status, but ultimately that is subjective. I am comfortable wearing my B25 on the crook of my arm, without being influenced by its possible connotations. I appreciate both top handle and strap bags equally. :)

[@Justme-x4h]

@@FashionablyAMY You can get the 25 to your elbow Amy? I’m asking because most say that it doesn’t really past their wrist. I wish we could try these bags in store, I know it’s possible in some but it’s not in my store. I really almost always wear my 30 ( actually all my top handle bags) in the crook of my arm so that’s why it’s important to me.

[@FashionablyAMY]

Yes if you watch my Birkin reviews and comparison videos, I included plenty of mod shots. I do have thin arms though.

[@Justme-x4h]

@@FashionablyAMY Thank you! I definitely missed that one. I have to find a way to try that bag.🤪

[@zgafadhi7208]

[@abigailshiu824]

I got tired of the 19, it’s just too heavy

[@FashionablyAMY]

It can definitely get heavy at times. :(
