*Heart-Broken* Handbag & SLG Updates #9 | The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

[@Minks4All]

I got you, the heartbreak at 05:46 ♥️ I reached out to Fendi, just waiting to hear back and when they do, I’ll let you guys know what they say. 😭

[@silviakvbckv7875]

I’ve watched you since about a decade ago when the love of luxury and bags was more niche. A decade later, you have always been true to yourself and you never really wavered in what you love and you always went with your heart in pieces you choose to collect. I must admit, I have been feeling a bit of luxury fatigue from the last few years with social media really over-saturating us with luxury this and that, but you still have that exuberance and excitement that is infectious. You make me feel excited to unbox and smell the leathers and enjoy all the luxury minutiae that made it so enjoyable before it all got so mainstream. You have a genuine love and enthusiasm for leather goods that has never really wavered. ❤

[@Minks4All]

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words and support all these years! ♥️ It means the world to me. 😭🥰🥰🥰

[@momoparent9365]

I bought the Gucci Ophedia thanks to you and I also have loved mine! So durable through any weather even our harsh winters here 🥶. Your genuine love for your old bags is so refreshing and I could hear you talk about them all day. 🤗

[@artsandbarts360]

❤❤❤🤎🤎🤎🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻Especially love your vintage neverfull!! My sister still has hers -monogram gm from the first year they came out in 2007, she paid $750😃and it still looks fab . They just don’t make things like they used to.…..❤

[@Minks4All]

Couldn’t agree more! 🥰♥️

[@Purse.911]

I have the light pink/rose gold one and some sequins came out and popped for me putting on my shoulder and I don’t have thin arms😂. Took it to fendi and in 4 weeks was back in perfect condition and no charge. Fendi is great with their customer service

[@Minks4All]

Thank you for sharing that Babe! I'm so glad to hear they were able to fix it! 🥰It gives me hope! ♥️

[@katemiller7874]

If it happens again get a credit next time.

[@amywilliams1617]

I love my Kirigami set...I use the little one for my Subaru car key (it's bulky but fits well), the middle for my EDC daily "stuff" and the large as a clutch or I do have both a chain and fabric strap and multiple smaller chains if I want a single or double purse set up (with the medium on top of the large) and even the D ring option on the fabric strap for the mini. I will say the inserts make the corners wear faster but since this is my constant LV carry, I deal with it. So great for travel as they are so flat and the small and medium pop into my Lululemon fanny pack for walks, errands, etc. Such a great set up and bang for the buck if you are edging into the luxury handbag market. I use the LV PM agenda in the monogram to match as a combo planner/wallet and can carry the combination in multiple ways. This is a great affordable and practical way to have the luxury.

[@Minks4All]

Thank you so much for sharing Love! ♥️ I love how you incorporate this set in your collection! ✨

[@hollygrace6814]

love these videos more than unboxings!!

[@donnaleach8119]

Awww, dear Minnie! I’m so sorry about your baguette and for the fact that you’re not feeling well! I wish for you a speedy fix for both! ❤👜❤😘

[@Minks4All]

Thank you so much Love! ♥️

[@TheHopefulminimalist]

I love the idea of rocking this red bag with jeans or something very casual. Too beautiful to be saved for special occasions! I’m sorry about the leather splitting 😮

[@Minks4All]

Right?! It needs to come out and play all the time! 😍♥️✨

[@suebrewer1649]

I used my Neverfull MM in DA yesterday. It’s definitely one of my all time favorite bags. I love how it has patined to where I no longer worry about the weather when using it!

[@Minks4All]

That’s awesome! Love a good patina! 🥰🙌🏻

[@fcicabyss74]

I been thinking the kiragami for a long time, this is just a good video and very informative! ❤

[@Minks4All]

Thanks for watching Babe! 💖

[@deborahscoza1443]

I love my Damier Azure Speedy B 30. It’s my favorite LV canvas. Feel better Minnie

[@Minks4All]

Yay! So happy to hear you love DA too! 😍 Thanks Babe! ♥️

[@NoWayNoHow999]

I reglaze all of my LV bags and SLG’s myself. I purchased Feibing’s edge coat, from Amazon, in matching colors, with the edge tool for leathers. I also, just stay with me, Essie’s matte top coat over the edge coat to seal! It last for years and I don’t have the cost and am not without my bags or accessories!

[@Minks4All]

That’s awesome! I'm so impressed! 👏👏

[@KimFiscus816]

I’ve had my Kirigami set for 4 years now. I use the large pouch to hold items I may need while at work like ibuprofen, hair ties, etc and it stays in my work bag. I also use the small and medium almost daily and there is zero…ZERO….wear and tear. Amazing pieces!!!

[@Minks4All]

Yay!! So happy to hear. Yours have been wearing fabulously as well 🙌🏻🙌🏻😍

[@missyhuckaby]

I use my large Kirigami for my kindle and it sits on my nightstand. The medium used daily for my tech cords and thrown in my work bag. The mini is perfect for my AirPods. I have also had for several years and I don’t baby them. I bought them to use daily😊

[@HazelHenry25]

Make sure you gargle with salt and warm water, Minnie! It really takes the edge off a sore throat - take care x

[@Minks4All]

Thanks Babe, I will! ♥️

[@ThekimG313]

I hope you feel better soon. I’ve had my azure NeverFull just as long as you and my leather had gotten very dark from extreme use 😂😂. I just got it replaced this year so I’d suggest you wait until the leather gets to the point of being darker and get even more enjoyable time with your bag. Yours still looks good 👍🏽. Sorry about your Fendi though I’m sure they’ll take care of it for you. Unlike the big C.

[@Minks4All]

Thank you so much Love! 🥰♥️ I might just add another DA Neverfull, this time with the pink interior. 😂

[@californiahippie1993]

I hope you feel better Minnie. 🙏🏼🧿

[@Minks4All]

Thanks Love! ♥️

[@marriettaharrison6266]

You are not wrong! One azur piece opens the door for wanting more 😂 it’s such a beautiful canvas! I got a speedy b 25 in azur this year and I’m in absolute love!!!

[@Minks4All]

Totally! 🎉 I can’t get enough of the Azur Canvas! 😍🙌🏻🙌🏻♥️

[@VDMcleod]

If you look around for a leather goods store in your area that carries handbags, you might be able to find someone who can do leather repair. It won't be exactly like the rest of the bag but they can probably prevent further splitting.

[@SBryerman]

I use the largest Kirigami for my mini ipad. Perfect for it even in the apple case. Middle one also holds all the family passports if needed.

[@Minks4All]

That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing Babe! ♥️🥰

[@shaligasuksomsong]

I agree with you on the azure piece. My first was the key cle and I wanted more! I bought the new neverfull damier azure and I can’t wait for it to patina

[@Minks4All]

Yes, Azure is so gorgeous! 🤩 Major congratulations Babe! 🎉🎉🎉

[@jenniferfernandez8764]

Hope you feel better soon and happy new year to you!

[@Minks4All]

Thank you! 🥰 Happy New Year Love! ♥️✨

[@jrob123]

If Fendi won’t repair it maybe consider a reputable repair shop like Leather surgeons. I’ve never personally used them but have heard many wonderful things about them

[@katemiller7874]

She can email them a picture of the bag they will tell her right away if they can do it or not.

[@BLittles]

I have a sequin mini. It’s a work of art. I only use it as an evening bag, sadly.

[@valrice817]

The red Fendi is beautiful! Too bad the leather is splitting but hopefully it can be repaired! ❤

[@NicoleR0717]

I love your love for the neverfull ❤️ I love mine as well. Happy New Year 🎉

[@Minks4All]

Thanks Babe! ♥️ Happy New Year! 🎊 😊

[@98gmill]

So sorry about the bag Minnie. I Enjoyed the vid :)

[@Minks4All]

Thank you Love! ♥️ I appreciate you watching!

[@sharontolliver5823]

I use the larger Kiragami pouch to hold my IPad mini when I travel. Fits perfectly.

[@Minks4All]

Love that! 😍 Thanks for sharing!

[@saralozano1710]

for the GG handbag, I think that when you are not using it, stick the strap into the side whole and it could help with the strap sticking out so much.

[@teekay5286]

That color looks wonderful on you!

[@Minks4All]

You are way too kind Babe, thank you! 🥺♥️

[@SONYARenee]

I was gifted my first LV Neverful MM monogram in 07 with a Speedy 30 in DE. I gave the speedy away about four or five yrs ago. I wish I had not now. I had my Neverful sent in and redone in May 22’. It looks really good. I purchased in 23’ the Neverful PM in monogram and a MM in DE. I love my Kiragami set. I use my small one everyday for my cards, my med for my daughter and I passport. I really have not used my large pouch. Maybe twice. I need some ideas for it. We have been traveling for the last couple weeks, so the med pouch have been used a lot more, since we need our passports and will be traveling back to Japan soon.

[@Minks4All]

Thanks for sharing Love! ♥️ Some peeps have been telling me that they use the large pouch for their iPads. Safe travels! 🥰

[@keneshajamdownqueen2712]

That's the prettiest Fendi bag I've seen. #keeper #vibrant

[@crystaldrost2768]

I bought myself two mini pochette accessories and a Papillon 30 from Zenplus because of you .... thanks for sharing .... I love all your videos

[@Minks4All]

Major congrats Love! 🎉🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@lorigodby7117]

My experience their cust svc is outstanding. This bag is Gorgeous/you🥰 Fingers crossed outcome will be you smiling ear to ear🙏❤️Im sure they will be a hero👍👍

[@Minks4All]

So good to hear that, it gives me hope! ♥️ Thanks for sharing Babe! 😍😍

[@phamtruc]

I love my neverfull, but I had to sell it because LV won't replace the inside (inside got pretty dirty). 😢 LV only replace the arm/outer straps.

[@Minks4All]

I am so sorry to hear that! 😩 I appreciate you sharing tho! ♥️

[@tarynwilloughby-williams5948]

This is why bag liners/inserts are so helpful

[@el3yonel7azeneh89]

I have always loved the Fendi sequins bags but never trusted them enough to buy them . I knew they are high maintenance which I wouldn’t be happy with. Hope they will fix it

[@lilahmclemore8154]

Girl take your Gucci bag to a cobbler(Rago Brothers) and tell them to make your strap removable. That way you can use a chain a strap.

[@Debbiesdilemmas]

I would be scared to buy a bag with sequins just for the reasons you’re experiencing. The Fendi is just gorgeous and I do understand why you would love it.❤️

[@dlee8273]

Minnie I did buy the same Gucci bag and my daughter ended up taking it from me. She loves it but I do wish I had paid more and gotten the version with chain and long strap

[@birkinboy3976]

Hey babe such a bummer about the Fendi Baguette that sucks so bad hopefully they’ll be able to repair it please keep us in the know and I hope you feel better soon 💚💚💚

[@Minks4All]

Thanks Craig! ♥️♥️😘

[@cubby0001]

I thoroughly enjoy your detailed videos. Thank you so much. That little access leather on the Gucci would drive me a little cray, 😅. Have you considered getting a little glue Dot and pinning it down?

[@Minks4All]

Thank you so much Love! 🥰♥️ I’d probably cut off the strap and get it redone before I added glue but you never know what I’ll do when I get spicy. 😂

[@Restless318]

so so sorry Merry Christmas and happy new year I got coach Emprire 40 in honey brown gift to my self

That’s awesome! Major Congratulations!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Restless318]

@@Minks4All that why I love you understand my love of coach

[@dipaolav]

Wow…you’re the third person with that bag that has had an issue with the leather splitting (two in purple and one in green). My friend that had splitting and popped stitched within 6 months was offered a replacement or store credit. I believe she was so pissed that a $5000 bag would wear that poorly that she took the credit. Hope FENDI makes it right for you.

[@Minks4All]

Thanks babe! ♥️ So sorry to hear your friend had the same thing happen.

[@katemiller7874]

One of my friends had a bald spot on the purple one. Fendi took it back no problem but she ended up getting the leather baguette which is a great bag

[@lagniappe1914]

Fendi repaired my gold sequined mini bag when it arrived with missing sequins. Excellent customer service! I am sure they will come through for you.

[@Minks4All]

That's awesome to hear, it gives me hope! ♥️

[@monicareyes3436]

Minnie I’m so bummed for you on your Dorothy baguette, I really hope Fendi makes it right 🤞. I would totally try to take the Ophidia shoulder bag to Gucci and see if they would punch another hole!??! I know it would make it a slightly longer drop but I think it would greatly solve the excess strap hang! Now if that is no bueno then cut it off girl and put a great chain on her 🙌😎😘!! I LOVE Kirigami baby pochette it’s also my favorite of the three 😍🙌!!! Thanks you for another AWESOME “The Good The Bad & The Ugle” content 💜🙌😘! This type of specific content really helps inform me of any pitfalls a bag might present that I just never thought of 😘🫶💗!!! Hope you get to feeling better ☺️.

[@Minks4All]

Thank you so much Love! ♥️ You are far too kind! 🥰✨I appreciate you sharing your thoughts on these items! 😍

[@cocolsls]

Rarely into Fendi now & didn’t their quality had declined..? Hope you’re feeling okay now.. ❤

[@Jploveslv]

I wish LV had more options for the Keragami set. I hope you feel better soon! 🩷

[@Minks4All]

I agree, I wish there were more colors too! ✨Thank you so much Love! ♥️🥰

[@Krysimmortal]

I bought the kirigami set for myself for christmas and i liked it so much I went to buy the pink kirigami card case too.Which I also recommend as its a different size than anything in the set

[@Minks4All]

Couldn’t agree more, I have the pink case too and love it! ♥️

[@isnidarwanti4862]

Hi Minnie. I am so sorry about the fendi baquette. I hope you find a way to fix it. This video should be a little bit sad, but look how cool you face tear and wear on your favourite bags. I admire you. TFS ❤❤❤

[@Minks4All]

Thank you so much Love! 🥰♥️♥️

[@jenniferglapan]

A little snap on that Gucci shoulder bag strap would be so genius!!!

[@Tony.diamondd]

Can you please do a comparison between the small kirigami and the one from the colormania collection. I heard that one is a little larger. Thanks if you can

[@ShaizaShamim]

Oh my gosh I actually gasped out loud. I am so sorry!😲😥

[@Minks4All]

😭💔💔

Oh nooooo & u loveeee the red sparkle Smiley!!! 😞✨❤️✨ I hope fendi can fix it. 🙏🏼 I have the mini purple pouch. 💜😘😘😘Sandy

[@francinethomas7762]

Mini. My ❤...best of luck with Fendi. Agree with the curl of the strap and potential fixes. My Gucci with that finish was purchased in the 80s. All the best for 2025 to you and yours.

Thank you so much Love! ♥️ Wishing you a very Happy New Year! 🎆🎊

HIi ! I love the Kirakami pouches....I've been at looking at them for quite some time, the only thing holding me back is the price...I'm not sure they are worth how high they are priced ??

You’re going to love them! 🥰

[@kaylheecarroll3186]

That's too bad, some of these are beautiful ❤

[@cyntirado9253]

Minnie! Have you seen the crystal bags from Marc Jacobs???. I am so tempted by the Tote bag small either white( although scared how the handle will look eventually..) or the denim.( the black one only comes in the mini size)

[@Minks4All]

I have, they’re cute! ♥️✨

[@terzim5695]

Maybe a good cobbler can add a snap for the Gucci.

[@Crystal_loves_bags]

For the Gucci Ophidia, could you add another hole on the strap to reduce that part from curling?

[@Minks4All]

That can definitely be an option! 😍🙌🏻

[@mansoor3159]

Wow Wow Minnie what a lovely Red Bag🥹♥️♥️💫 and My Day is incomplete without seeing your Videos May God Bless You Always Always sending you lots of love to you and I will always be your biggest biggest supportive

You could use some double sided sticky tape to tape the little leather tab down of the Gucci bag?

I wouldn’t want to add tape to it

[@katemiller7874]

They are releasing it on Jan 3 rd. Online

[@somethinelse0930]

I love it. I wish I could bought it alone instead of the other two I don’t used. I use it as a mini first aid kit…band aids, Tylenol , etc

Thank you Love! 🥰♥️

[@valbonaivezaj140]

The Fendi Baguette is just a worse design version of the Gucci Marmont. I just bought a new Marmont flap in silver hardware brand new -after Guccis price increase-because I think that bag got tossed to the side by influencers for the wrong reasons. That design is much better than the Fendi baguette. The clasp on the Marmont is much more secure than a magnet, it doesn’t sag, and ages nice. I’ve never had issues with YSL on quality either, but I don’t own a Fendi bag for a reason. I browse the Fendi site and always click off, nothing sticks for me. I think Gucci, Louis, and YSL are the top fashion houses, imo. You’re being crazy picky on the Gucci SLG bag compared to how not picky you are on the Fendi, with how much the Fendi is priced at. Love is love I suppose, I just dont ever get the hype with that bag 😂. I like the other ophidia in the background, I want it. I always have liked the damier azur but I like Guccis version of the white oatmeal, so I’d probably go for that before the damier just because I’m part of the Gucci gang. Nice detailed video! I enjoyed it. 😂 🐺🤓💪🏻

[@NIGELNOTRENDS]

Does anyone know the style number for the blue mini Longchamp bag in the background, I’m obsessed

[@MsNandi001]

This is a great video 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

[@Minks4All]

Thank you so much Love! 😍♥️

[@mr.ryan.nguyen]

I hope the baguette doesn't crack with the Napa leather.

[@Minks4All]

Same, my pink one has zero issues.

[@accessorygirlnyc]

Hopefully Fendi will fix the bag but I suspect they will probably recommend you take the bag to a local leather restorer they recommend.

[@luxurybagheaven]

I absolutely love my azor Nf. Even more than the mono 😂

[@Minks4All]

Yesssss!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻😍

[@Jacbay]

Awww you poor thing, I would be really pissed too especially for the fact you look after your bags. Frndi should replace it or give you a refund but if they are like Louis Vuitton they probably won’t. The quality of luxury bags n accessories is appalling these days. I love bags but I’m bring put off by the hyped prices n low quality

[@katemiller7874]

Same. Overhyped bags is an automatic no

[@andrea_berlin]

I love your spiciness 😜

[@Minks4All]

Haha! It gets me in trouble 😂

[@lorigarcia9830]

Fendi will be able to repair it. But after two years it’s not in warranty.😢

[@Minks4All]

Yeah, I know it’s not going to be under warranty but as long as they can fix it, I’m a happy camper. 🥰♥️

[@lorigarcia9830]

Whoa ! Love that nail polish on you. Deets please

[@MonikaEKoenig]

Please please please could you deactivate this automatic audio translation. I desperately miss the original. I can't look at the translated version, it sounds just... terrible :(😢

[@katemiller7874]

Gosh that stinks about the baguette. I could tell by looking at it it wasn’t sturdy. Especially the sequins. I hope they do ya right your a good person. Lux has so turned me off lately
