Gucci x Balenciaga Unboxing Medium Hourglass | Rachel Went Shopping

[@hilaryms]

Love it! I feel like you must have so many cool unique pieces, I would love if you did a video on your whole collection!

[@rachelwentshopping]

I’ve made a lot of progress on getting my closet organized so my plan is to shoot a full collection video in January so I can start the year fresh then try to do an update every year!❤️

[@lorraine7469]

The medium is a statement and the small is just a bag. All depends what you want.

[@rachelwentshopping]

You are totally right! I feel like they both serve different purposes! For now I’m sitting with the medium for a little while because I jump to any quick decisions ❤️

[@ladytb2343]

I agree

[@munashenaomi_6350]

That necklace!!! 😍😍😍 I’m really contemplating getting it as it’s still in stock online in the UK. I love the bag, but I think the smaller one would suit better simply because of the handle, it looks a bit too high up. Loved this vid! Thank you 💝💝

[@rachelwentshopping]

I agree, even while editing this I was like it’s the handle!!! The handle is tooo big and too tall and you really see it when I try it on! So I feel like the medium is not meant to be crossbody just worn on the shoulder or the arm because of that handle. I loveeeee the necklace it is SO sparkly ✨, it is pricey for sure but I think it’s def more bang for your buck! ❤️

[@CakedOutATL]

This collab might only be 2nd to LV X Supreme. Homerun vibes, great choices☺️

[@1stylista]

I just paid $1100 over retail for the small hourglass because I missed the launch date. But I feel like it's sooo worth it! Definitely collector's item.

[@rachelwentshopping]

💯support this! I’m usually against paying over retail but this item is worth it in my opinion, totally a collectors item and I’m willing to pay over retail for the small as well if I decide to switch… enjoy your new bag!!! ❤️

[@sav589]

The bigger one looks great and better in my opinion.

[@rachelwentshopping]

Ahhh I so appreciate everyone’s feedback!!! I am such a bad decision maker sometimes lol 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@sav589]

It happens, and it’s totally fine. We all go through that and that’s what makes us human. I enjoy your content, please continue. Btw the Balenciaga necklace is next on my list ever since I saw it on your channel I’ve been wanting it.

[@AshleyDoll89]

I love the medium size 😍

[@rachelwentshopping]

ahhhh! it was such a tough choice, I love both sizes!

[@Biyou22]

girl first of all yes! i love the idea with the choker as a charm and put my emerald gucci necklace across mine! ty !

[@rachelwentshopping]

Yessss!!! So cute! Adds a little touch of something extra! ❤️

[@liztheinfluencer]

I had the same dilemma, I miraculously got both sizes and I was incredibly torn. I decided to keep the small and resale the med for the same reasons you mentioned. It's perfect for what I use/carry it for. Date nights, intimate events n such. But yes, they're both so beautiful.

[@rachelwentshopping]

I was able to secure a small over Christmas and after trying them both I think I’m going the same direction as you! They are both great and serve different purposes for different lifestyles, this is the perfect little going out/ dinner pop of FASHION and I think I will def use small more! ❤️

[@hayaglamazonluxe]

You have to keep this Rachel 😍😍😍 A collector's piece. Such a unique piece.

[@rachelwentshopping]

Collectors piece for sure, this was a 2021 must for me, not much else was on my list, can’t believe it’s already almost 2022!

[@fionahunter72]

What stunning items, congratulations! I adore the necklace, when you wore it with the shirt, it became part of the shirt, like a collar, so stunning! 😘

[@rachelwentshopping]

Thank you so much!! 🙏🏼 totally agree this necklace really stands out best with a high neckline!!! Need to find some other good tops to pair with it ❤️

[@lavishstyles2]

Love this review! The necklace on the bag is 🔥😍

[@rachelwentshopping]

Thanks so much! The necklace on the bag is EXTRA but I love it!

[@yslflorida6248]

I got the small one will be unboxing it soon hopefully! Love the idea with the necklace as a bag charm! It makes me want to get one now 🙈

[@rachelwentshopping]

Can’t wait to see your unboxing! The necklace on the small looks really good too! It’s definitely over the top but I love that! 😂

[@PERCUNIA-DE-VIE]

Tradesy is selling the bag for 15k,,I think the handle is a bit large however I would keep the bigger one for reasons of you basic essentials, The smaller one while cute and dainty for nights out on the town won't hold much, I don't know if it's large enough to hold a cell phone? Depending on your size cell. Anyways I love the bag with necklace idea. So cute.

[@rachelwentshopping]

WOW $15K is crazy! Each size definitely serves a different purpose I just needed to decide what I was going to use it for. The handle size on the medium was very awkward which I think is the one part I couldn't get past. Thank you for the feedback!!! I love reading everyone's opinions!

[@JP-kl1mj]

I think if the chain was longer it would look better crossbody. Did you end up keeping your Balenciaga items after the latest controversy with them ?

[@SomethingLatte]

The medium is so good! But I would pick the small. It’s easier to carry around and still fits a good amount 😊

[@rachelwentshopping]

Yes agree they totally serve different purposes! The medium seems more practical for potentially every day use, the small is more of a dinner/ going out bag only the essentials! ❤️I need to figure out what I need more of!

[@amandaleigh3587]

I ended up returning mine, glad I got my money back. Too expensive to get the size we don’t truly love

[@rachelwentshopping]

I’m currently trying to track down a small so I can try it on and make my final decision! But I agree if it’s not LOVE then it’s not worth it to keep ❤️

[@hayaglamazonluxe]

The small one is gorgeous but this medium I think looks great as well. I think it's a personal preference, both are great. I think you should keep the medium as it's more unique, the small one is all over socials, also bigger bags are coming back. KEEP 🦄🦄🦄🦄

[@rachelwentshopping]

Ahhhhhh!!!! All great points making my decision so much harder 🤣 I swear I can come up with pros and cons all day! I’m such a sucker for a BIG bag! I really cannot wait for the come back ❤️

[@amandaleigh3587]

I just got the medium and have been wondering the same thing, but then I think about how tiny the small is and wonder if I would be annoyed with that as well

[@kooms_11]

Hi Rachel. Love the hourglass bag on you. Sounds like you really want the small size though. If you can get one, why not see if it will work better for you. Have you tried using the strap from your zipped cardholder as an extender for the bag strap? Maybe it will make it more comfortable.

[@rachelwentshopping]

Yes! I am at least trying to get access to a small so I can try it on and have all the information to make a proper decision otherwise I will always think about it and wonder… I haven’t tried using the cardholder strap as an extender I’ll have to see if I can make that work, good idea! ❤️

[@Steven-in2dh]

I love the medium 😍 I ordered the small. Mine should be here in two weeks. ☺️ I think your medium needs the smaller sibling.

[@rachelwentshopping]

Ahhhh I wish I could have both!!! Congrats on your small it’s soooo adorable! 🥰

[@georgina4874]

I would keep the Balenciaga bag. That way it doesn't compete with your smaller bags. I can see that reselling for double.

[@rachelwentshopping]

So true it’s nice to have a variation in size! It’s def a collectors item ❤️

[@birdwellbrown5391]

I think you were thinking more practically in getting the larger size. Is it possible that this vacillating between the sizes is inspired by FOMO? I would stick with what you have; it is the more versatile size, and you already know it works well for you. 👍

[@rachelwentshopping]

I think you’re totally right! The medium is more practical and I definitely have fomo for making the wrong decision! I really wish I could have had both in my hands to make a decision that way instead of having to go backwards now! I really don’t think I could go wrong either way but I so appreciate everyone’s feedback!!!❤️

[@ladytb2343]

Medium 💯🥰🥰

[@rachelwentshopping]

I know ahhhhh! Both sizes serve such different purposes, currently trying to track down a small to at least try it on to compare!

[@Momof3]

I have the dilemma too, how tall are you? The handle is crazy big,, I love the size of the medium but hate the way it looks cross-body. I think I will probably get the small

[@rachelwentshopping]

I’m 5’8” clothing size 16/18, I love the size of what the medium holds but the handle is just sooo in the way, check out my video on the small to see the side by side footage!

[@Momof3]

@@rachelwentshopping you are pretty much the same size as me. I will go with the small one. Thank you. PS I love your videos,

[@4leaffy]

The necklace looks amazing on you. For the bag the handle for this medium one is kinda awkward. Can you actually open the bag if you're wearing it with strap? The handle seems to be block it

[@rachelwentshopping]

Totally agree with you, the handle on the medium is the most awkward part and its so much easier to use in the small size. I love the size of the medium and that you can fit a lot but the small is more practical for what I intend on using the bag for. The necklace is a show stopper for sure, so glad I was able to get it!!! Thanks for watching and commenting, I love reading everyones advice!

[@Momof3]

how tall are you?

[@georgina4874]

Your skin looks pretty.

[@rachelwentshopping]

You are too kind!!! 🤗 I think the camera helps!

[@amandaleigh3587]

What have you decided? I just got the medium as well and am wondering the same thing, but everytime I look at it I like it, and think about how small the small really is which may get annoying

[@rachelwentshopping]

I am still undecided and the comments seem to be 50/50 split! Right now I still have the medium, but when I was editing the video I realized what bothers me the most about the medium is the handle, it’s so big that it’s really not meant to be worn crossbody in my opinion it’s more for the arm or shoulder and lately I’ve been preferring crossbody… no decision yet but I’ll def make a video if I decide to get the small.

[@amandaleigh3587]

I decided I’m keeping mine, the size is unique and if you have enough fancy evening bags, may as well rock this as your main day piece

[@mustcicitv]

I'm feeling like I should've gotten the necklace 😕

[@rachelwentshopping]

😂😂😂it’s dangerous!!! But I can’t say no to bling 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@melissatan6444]

Is the small size still available?

[@rachelwentshopping]

It is not but it is a decent price on StockX….so I’m considering purchasing 😬

[@melissatan6444]

What do you think about the city bag in this collection?

[@LuxCat]

This Medium is tooooo big for you.. especially when crossbody

[@rachelwentshopping]

I agree watching back the footage when I was editing made me realize it just doesn’t work cross body it’s only good too handle, I’m currently trying to track down a small to try on and compare 🤞🏻

[@LuxCat]

I think smaller size will look better for you...

[@rachelwentshopping]

Thank you for the feedback everyone is so mixed but I’m leaning small if I can find one! ❤️
