Pretty much obsessed with Gucci right now, so thank you so much for this video! 🤗🖤

[@HanszoJournalDunTueur]

i saw yesterday a GUCCI marmont velvet and i'm obsessed with

[@CamilleLenore]

Hi Amie! I've had the velvet flap for a year and a half now and a big issue I've had wear/tear wise is that the chain that lays across the top when you wear it long has created massive indents in the velvet that aren't very attractive when you wear it with the chains doubled up on your shoulder. I wish I could attach photos here, I can DM you one on instagram if you'd like, but it's super noticeable and something to be aware of as time goes by owning this bag :(

[@jasmine0075]

i just bought a velvet marmont in colbalt blue, the texture is great! i think you made a great point about the crossbody issue though, the small size should be sufficient for the summer

[@elizabethhogg610]

Just bought the Gucci mini .. such good quality ..And beautiful leather .. I really look after my bags .. Also such good customer service ..❤️

[@bobodivavavoom1909]

Im so relieved to know about the velvet before buying it after seeing a friend who has the gucci velvet in pink. Its super nice though.

[@Greekprincepessa]

Hey love, I had the same fear when purchasing the black small leather. I have been super careful with how pointy the top gets, but what I’ve found works the best is how I store it. I store it stuffed with tissue paper and I don’t keep the clasp closed so it kind of just sits on top of the tissue instead of keeping it clasped and pointed while being stored. I feel it’s kept it’s shape better all around from doing that. ❤️❤️❤️

[@elise.santos]

I absolutely love your bag videos! Thank you for the useful information. I can't wait to purchase my first Gucci marmont in the coming months. I was really tossing up between velvet and leather and sizing so now I think I will go for the mini leather and I am super excited!

[@AlishaRicki]

Great comparison!! I really love the velvet version of the marmont but I passed on it because of te whole seasonal thing. However, now that I see the structure holds up better, I may have to reconsider

[@cclover428]

Great video. i hv the same small leather marmont n hv been using it practically everyday since last Oct n i must say is still holding v well. No sagging, no pointed top so far. I made the right choice 👍👍

[@peteygurl]

I'm so happy that you made this video. I've been going back and forth between these two materials in the Marmont. This will definitely help me in making that decision. Thank you! ❤️

[@nataliewold9951]

I'm absolutely loving the mini velvet, thanks for this comparison, very helpful💕 on my wish list.

[@annarce1546]

Hi Amie! I'm thinking of getting the Marmont but confused as to what colour to get? I love the one in nude/dusty pink but worried about colour transfer. How is your nude marmont faring? Thanks! 😊

[@ssmith4933]

Thanks for the review I've been watching both bags and you helped me make up my mind!

[@MCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC]

love your videos!! been so in love with these bags, but can't decide between leather and velvet, thanks for this review!!!

[@meezahaziz7701]

Hi Amie. Can you give tips on how you take care of the velvet marmont? Is it wise to spray the material with some sort of protective spray so that it is more durable against moisture? Appreciate if you can do a video on how to care for the velvet marmont

[@elizabethtvrda366]

Hi Amie! Thank you for the review of the Gucci Marmont bag, I have been loving this style for the longest time ever ( and I am getting closer to buying it) however I recently decided that I would like the nude version, but I am worried about the denim transfer and also how easy/difficult is it to clean? Thank you and I hope you have a great day!

[@coco4354]

So glad to see you back. Been waiting and waiting for your video. My favorite KZbin channel 🤗

[@SerenaWang1123]

Great review! Thank you for inspiring me of getting the black leather small Marmont in the first place! Big shout out to you! I also mentioned your inspiration in my vid as well! So far my Gucci Marmont has been my most used handbag! Love it so much ❤️ XOXO 😘

[@lulu13hb]

Loved the comparison. I'm saving up for the Mini in velvet BUT kinda leaning toward the super mini in leather now due to the price increase.

[@claudineranchez5662]

So in terms of the fabric material which is better for you? The leather or velvet?

[@Chicprofessor]

Super informative, as always! I don't see myelf adding a gucci bag right now but I liked the mini camera bag when I saw it in stores. You made me want to give the mini marmont some more thought. Thanks for sharing!

[@carriemeawaytoday]

Hi. I’ve Been waiting for a video from you for a while. I love all the content to put out. And absolutely love the Gucci

[@omaimaaakcha3394]

I have the small one in velvet black i love it Im thinking about purchasing the big one in nude it is so beautiful omg

[@jamiel5699]

I’ve been missing your videos, glad you’re back!

[@karinjam]

Amie! Firstly I love you channel! I’m considering purchasing the White Gucci Marmont Top Handle Mini. I’m worried about colour transfer and wanted to ask you how you cared for your marmont bags. Do you Apple guard or scotch guard your bags before use?

[@shekinahjp6439]

Love the way you express your love for these Gucci bags. How do you look after your Gucci Leather Marmont Flap? Do you apply a leather lotion?

[@suzannelee3823]

Great video for comparison. Recently saw small in a darker green velvet which is to die for but not sure of size. Mini seems cuter fo

[@grace3600]

I am debating between those two. Do you think the velvet one is worth to purchase right now? Velvet one looks much cooler but my concerns are that it might be out of trends/summer time wear.

[@wsuptrick]

I understand velvet has its wear/tear signs but so does leather. It starts fading just like velvet and it’s easier to notice scratches

[@clybee8328]

I agree!

[@Wh0otevah]

I love your videos! They’re so informative! Every time I’m wondering about something, you upload a video about it. It’s like you can read my mind! 😂

[@stephiesctan]

Thanks so much for this video! It's like a reasurance for my decision made today. I have just got my Gucci Mormont Blue velvet small bag together with the matching slip-on blue velvet shoes in Singapore today. 😘😘😘

[@stephiesctan]

Correction...the size of the bag I got is mini 😄😄😄

[@hey_its_heather]

I definitely like the size and shape of the mini better but I tend to like smaller bags that just hold the essentials since I don't like to cart around a lot of stuff...not that I could ever even afford a Gucci bag lol 😂

[@_juju_5]

Another great review, well thought out informative and enjoyable. Am eyeing your very Marmont small flap so this is very helpful. Thanks.

[@gabrielabahchevanova4427]

Hi! I’ve having a really hard time choosing between the marmont bag in dusty pink vs black. I love the nude color but I’m worried about color transfer. Which color do you recommend?

[@jhunokzEn]

great review Amie the mini is so perfect and stunning

[@sophiestok5127]

I love this bag so much! I was wondering of the nude colour has any colour transfer? Also ysl has a great flap bag that does not have the issue of getting pointy on the top! I think it is called the medium envelope quilted bag. I have got it for over two years and it still looks brand new even though i used it a lot!

[@xvi3txl0v1ngx]

I have the mini leather marmont and wore is mostly cross body and single strap exclusively when I first got it. Since seeing your video warning of the flap changing shape, I've tried to change the way I use it but unfortunately, the flap has become more sharp instead or rounded. Not such a big issue with me since I love it so much but it can still happen with the mini.

[@marjan3010]

I love Gucci marmont. Love your videos. Welcome back. xoxo

[@sabrinawitte3440]

Thank you ! I don't know which one to choose...

[@mettebejerholmgreve4092]

I had the same issue with the corners of my my mini velvet. Because of that I sold the bag after four months 😊

[@kafilahola6281]

I have the Gucci velvet in the turquoise/Blue and I've had it for 8 months still looks brand new. I'd go to Gucci and get that checked out if it still bothers you

[@angiezhang1308]

Hi Amie! Love this video:) i’m deciding between the black and nude for the small leather, I love the nude colour but a bit worried about the colour transfer - how has it been for you?

[@jlswsbk]

Such a helpful and thorough video Amie, thank you! You are so sweet and down-to-earth! 💕

[@roxemary]

Looking at the bags side by side in the video looks like the "pointyness" of the small is due to construction, the loops for the chain are much closer in proportion to the size of the bag. I never liked the marmont until earlier this week, when I saw a picture of a dark blue velvet one.. and I'm not a fan of velvet bags either! Now I'm in love with the black one... Oh, life..

[@janeco7746]

Hi Amie if you have to chose between the ( mini) nude or black which one would you prefer? Tnx

[@YosheaLux]

Amie! I’m s fan of the marmont bag as well! Just love it sooo much. I have a velvet bag but have not used it much due to it being soooo hot. I the fall definitely will grab fir it!

[@jenjay140]

awesome video thank you so much.. i was wondering if the velvet tends to attract lint?

[@meganle9502]

Im still thinking of getting leather or velvet. Im in love with the velvet one but alot of ppl said the material torn out after a few wear. Which one do you think should i get?

[@ClaireBridgett]

Im thinking of getting a mini in the leather because I really do like something I can wear crossbody, thanks for the video x

[@mamako3997]

Great vid as always! I've had my mini velvet marmont in the teal for 8 months now and my corners show no sign of wear and tear. The only kind of signs I see are slight indents along the top of the bag from the chain when I wear the strap long.

[@angeleyn]

Love your Marmont collection! Thanks for giving your honest feedback on these items. Definitely will help me decide on my next Marmont purchase :)

[@f10w3r-.3]

Thank you for the review, waiting for mine 😅 a red one 😍

[@EveyBlanco]

Hi! Love your videos. I was wondering for the nude version have you experienced any denim transfer? I made the mistake of buying the most beautiful light pink Chanel boy bag but can hardly wear it because I wear a lot of denim. :( So I’m in the market for a nice nude bag and was considering the Gucci Marmont bag or even the nude Gucci belt bag in nude but was worried about the denim transfer 🤭

[@lan.6030]

Hi, i have to buy the Gucci marmont, i really like velvet, since you have both the velvet and leather one i wanted your advice. I'm italian and i did not understand everything you said, thanks 😉

[@katiecross1817]

My velvet Gucci Marmont definitely has acquired a lot of wear and tear on the edges

[@_quartzyoucan2369]

LOVE your videos. Keep ‘em comin’ 👍🏼

[@MsHpSauce10]

Thank you!!!!! I’m still not sure if I can make the plunge but this helped a ton!

[@Susan.K-v2u]

Thank you Amie for this great video. Also, love your FB Bag Chat

[@ChaseAmie]

Yay! It's such a great group right?! The loveliest (bag obsessed, ha!) bunch :)

[@chervonfong2626]

Is there hard to take care of the velvet material ?

[@angiejeong9087]

Hi Amie! Please do a video about shopping duty free. I live in Korea and luxury bags are more expensive than anywhere in the world! I want to buy when I'm out of country, please give me some advice 😀😀😀😀😀😀

[@PrimroseBigwood]

They're all SO BEAUTIFUL! x

[@snow77707]

Hi Amie..... Just wondering if you called Gucci in regards to the wear on the corners of the velvet marmont? Thinking of getting one in velvet, I have the leather in small & super mini. THANKS....

[@cassieprendergast3781]

is your velvet in the mini size? online it looks like the mini bag has white lines

[@morganvellinger2929]

With the lighter color do your jeans rub off on the leather?

[@dinavienna]

Major bag envy I d love them all 😂 thank you for doing such an amazing video

[@margotchurchill5593]

Welcome back!

[@alexefu4793]

Hi, I really love your Chanel, I learned so much informations from your videos! I was wondering if you could make a video about how to maintain the quality of a bag in term of shape and color or how do you store your bag in your closet 😶

[@AmyGodBlessAmerica]

Alexe Fu her Chanel and channel 😜❤️

[@bubblesarah]

Could you use a dry toothbrush to brush out the corners like you can with suede?

[@abbeyfuszard2204]

Loved seeing a video from you! Great video!

[@maggypl5690]

Hi, Amie, loveee this very informative video so much. Can you do comparison between Gucci marmont Mini and Chanel rectangular Mini, is there big difference in the amount of stuffs that can fit in both? thanks ,dear

[@premeyumlife443]

Very helpful review n it’s a very pretty bag. 😍 thanks for sharing my lady! 😘😘😘Sandy

[@meiv118]

wanting the super mini black marmont but its waaaay to small :((( and the bigger one is like another 1k omgg. Wat would you guys suggest

[@whaty2000]

Am I the only one thinking about tissues, umbrellas and more practical items to fit in a bag :D? The last things I would carry around are perfume and face mist bottles.

[@RoxanneBeaulieu]

Hi Amie!! Do you know if the Mini Marmont in leather exist in the nude color? I want the Mini size, but in the nude and I can't find it anywhere! Thank you for the helpful video! :) xx

[@Mawiiom]

I've been waiting for your video😄

[@MimiAr]

I'm so sad because the beautiful pink lining of my Marmot Velvet has scratched a lot since i got it (just 1 year ago!) did that happened to yours too ?

[@XxPrecious1xX]

Glad you're back :-)

[@1Z4ever]

Hi Amie, can you please do a review on the Gucci Dionysus please? Thank you.

[@jamiem3033]

Hi there! I was just wondering if you use any kind of leather protectant spray on your Gucci leather bags? I've heard some people say they use the Apple guard on them to protect them from the weather and such. Do you recommend using anything in particular?

[@parishers6351]

Use nothing

[@mcpluxe]

Hi Amie! Thanks for the review! Was thinking about getting the nude one but I want to ask if it's more susceptible to colour transfer? Love from Australia

[@katelouise9361]

I always wonder why you bring your passport in most of your bags? I only ever get mine out when I go overseas haha :) love your videos xx

Love your reviews! What nail polish are you wearing?

[@ChaseAmie]

[@adventureswithkeisha4222]

Love your gg Marmont in the Nude just stunning !!

[@sovietwallpaper2410]

Ahh so excited to watch this video before I go to sleep :)

[@karenlindgandrup]

Thanks for the review. How would sunglasses fit in the two sizes?

[@ChaseAmie]

Sunglasses fit in both :)

[@rubyllewellyn7961]

I recently watched your video on marketing and found it really informative, as this is the career path I would like to take in the future. I'm really into graphics so digital marketing is something that interests me. I was wondering how you got to where you are today in terms of work experience, university etc. and how you began to work in London.

[@GLAMAFROMNYC]

Hey, hope all is well. I have a couple of questions as I will be traveling to London from the US within the next couple of weeks. Are the prices in Heathrow cheaper than the prices in the regular luxury stores in Heathrow, and if so, does Heathrow offer VAT to tourist who buy designers there or is VAT only offered in luxury stores outside of the airport? Hope this makes sense.

[@charmaineblaize8017]

GLAMAFROMNY If you Buy at the airport your purchase would automatically be 20% off so you would not have to claim back the vat as it would already reflect the 20% off. If you choose to buy from a store on the street you would then have to claim your vat and fill in the forms. The prices in store would be VAT inclusive; so yes more. If you have the time check with the stores at LhR to see if your items are available. Much less stress and you get a full 20% off.

[@jaimewales7540]

Love your shirt! Nordstrom?

[@jesseeec]

Would u consider the super mini?

[@justinesoucy]

Great Video! Loved it as always :D

[@kellysalvador3595]

Hi Amie, how are you? I adore your videos and I woul like to know if you have any Christian Lacroix bag and what is your opinion about them , TY

[@LeslieRoche]

Thank you, you always so such a fabulous comparison on items!

[@xdearestx]

is the marmont velvet flap tongue matted alrdy?

[@annegremza5173]

You have impeccable taste, Amie! How do you feel about the marmont super mini in functionality vs. the WOC? I just can't seem to commit to either yet I totally want both! 😀👍❤️

[@ChaseAmie]

Aw thanks Anne! The thing about WOCs is that the depth of the bag always limits usage so much. I don't have an issue with specific event clutches which happen to be WOCs (and actually find the extra compartments useful) but if I want to use it as an everyday bag, I just think they are too slim. Certainly for me, I have bulky key fobs which I don't want to unhook on a daily basis. I haven't seen the super mini IRL so I can't comment on capacity but for WOCs, I would always consider intended purpose, i.e. event bag = cute, daily bag = not so practical!

[@annegremza5173]

Chase Amie I appreciate that perspective. Thank you 😊

[@Laura-zc7ns]

I've had two of the Gucci marmont velvet bags one in small navy and one in mini pink and I sold the both of them. I loved them and was surprised selling but couldn't justify them after seeing wear where the chain lies on the bag when crossbody and when i called the company I purchased from they said it was 'normal' wear so couldn' return it she also said it's a common problem with this bag and right enough the chain lies on the velvet she said she just wears hers under the arm. So I sold as I needed a crossbody and just can't justify pieces that are that delicate. I love the look of the velvet though but dare say I'm getting a little 'Over the whole Gucci thing now since they have got so popular.x

[@cynthiamh4302]

Is that In mini size or super mini Amie?

[@ChaseAmie]

Mini :)

[@cynthiamh4302]
