Are These Worth It?

[@bougiestocklvrdoc2470]

Finally someone is being honest and saying the overpriced 7RP inserts are NOT worth the exorbitant price! I have been thinking this for years and wondered why no one else thought it was not worth it either. Thank you for your reviews, this was very helpful.

[@patsteimer1860]

Another super interesting video. You’re thinking outside the box (or bag) in terms of what a luxury video is and providing lots of useful info to your viewers/consumers. Thank you!

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@shelley4073]

A tip my Chanel rep gave me (I do my own nails too); is after you put your Chanel Gel Top Coat on your nails; take the flashlight from your cell phone and flash the light over your nails back and forth one at a time and it dries them SUPER quick. I do this every time now when I do my nails and it dries them so quickly. Best trick in the business. Do give it a try😊. So delighted I’ve discovered your channel and really enjoyed learning about these inserts because I’ve been looking for them everywhere! Thank you so much 😎🎶❤️🇨🇦

Great video! Wishing your husband a quick recovery. Could you please make a video with advice on how to enjoy using your luxury items? I really baby my luxury items and find it hard to let go & just enjoy them! Thank you🤗

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Thank you for the well wishes for my husband. Absolutely, we all baby our “nice” items 😂 but what’s the point of owning them if we can’t enjoy them, right? I’ll try to cover this topic in a future video!

[@lovelacole]

Yes I have this issue not with my bags or shoes but ready to wear I have such a hard time wearing the clothes so expensive and I’m so worried I’ll get them dirty! The Hermès lipstick and lip balms are nice and they are refillable.

Happy you’re honest about the 7RP inserts. Feels as if these are overpriced and overhyped. Okey, they use great materials, but it doesn’t justify for this type of item.

You could try Mai Tai and see what you think. I’m using the one for the garden party in my neverfull right now and really like it.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I’ve heard good things about Mai Tai, thank you!

[@chidenisee]

I use the Chanel cotton squares. Have ordered 2 times and I am ordering again. They are awesome. I use a Chanel red gel polish and the gel topcoat. It's ok. I'm going to use it up.

[@neverthesamelovetwice]

I have to say that storing a Birkin with an organizer is iffy... I use a pillow from Fabrinique on Etsy. Also I believe someone mentioned Mintra, she’s Meenda on Etsy now. I use a Samorga organizer in my B, but only when I’m using it. However I also have a Kelly, and I do store it with a liner, but it’s super thin and made of linen. I believe the seller is white fox. As for Baccarat 540, the dossier version is amazing. I also swap it and have found that the Federico Mahora version is also great.

[@lisasouthern7202]

I have been going with zoomoni as well primarily due to long shipping time - I want the organizer before I use some bags and hate waiting when I get a new bag. I tried Amazon ones and they are not as good so won't do again. Love your videos and insights.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I agree Zoomoni quality is better than most on Amazon. And I’ve tried. 😂

[@Jessiestyle]

im really curious about the mai tai collection organisers!

[@winnieloh1091]

Hi! Was the insert you used for the Chanel Deauville a custom size? The one pre-selected for the Deauville on the site has 2 bottle holders and yours had 1 (which is my preferred)! Thanks! Also - great content on both lux products and finances!

[@Me-vk6fm]

Why didn't you put the yellow organizer inside the Birkin to see how it fits?

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I asked myself the same thing right after filming! 🤦🏻‍♀️ I think I hesitated because I saw the sides weren’t tapered in. But after filming, I put it inside my Birkin and it fit perfectly fine. It did however hold the bag open at the mouth, again because the sides aren’t tapered. Hope this helps.

[@P19804]

Can you share your nail polish color? Loved your video so informative

[@joyvillavicencio3501]

Hoping your husband has a speedy recovery! I agree with the Chanel egg cream. It’s so cute, but I wish it was a little more compact and could fit into any mini bag! 😅 I do want to splurge on the Hermes lip balms soon 🥰

[@abcdee4090]

So happy to hear your thoughts on these items! I have the Chanel eye set as well and was also skeptical about it but now I’m looking forward to trying it out! I’ve also tried some dossier scents that are supposed to be dupes for my favorite jo malone scents. I’d say most scents are pretty comparable, but there are a few that are not quite the same. Overall still really good and affordable!

[@factsoverfeelingspam2220]

Helpful video. Zoomoni is such a high quality product compared to Amazon ones. So worth the extra money and wait.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I agree. I tried one from Amazon and was not pleased with the quality. Overall, Zoomoni has been great for me!

[@ranaplans]

Do you prefer the Hermes lip balm over the Dior addict lip balm with no tint?

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Ooh, I only have the Dior lip glow colored balm, not the colorless one. If it’s the same formula, I’d say they’re roughly the same in terms of how moisturizing they are. I definitely prefer the experience of the Hermès one with its beautiful packaging. It feels quite heavy and luxe in your hands. But if you don’t care about that (I’m very tactile-oriented), then it may not be worth it for you. Hope this helps!

[@HappyHomeCrazyFarm]

Love LOVE all of your videos and I love your perspective on things! Those tiny pockets in 7RP would drive me crazy because I find them useless. It’s a waste of space and weight.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Yup! I kept looking at those tiny pockets and asking myself, “what can I fit in there?” 😂 The extra weight is really unnecessary.

[@juliel4096]

Hoping your husband heals quickly. A couple of notes: Love the eye patch review. Always looking for any help for that area, I will try. My nephew and his fiancée gave me a $50 gift card so I bought the Chanel hand cream as their gift to me. I haven’t’ used it! I think I will pack it in my carryon for travel as it is too large for my handbags, especially the mini ones. I love organizers for not only the organization but to keep the inside of my bags clean. I have both zoomoni and Samorga organizers and find them to be good values. The 7RP review is awesome, especially when you noticed it could have caused creasing on your bag. But the zoomoni ridged edges could cause worse damage to the sides. Thanks for doing this video,.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Thank you - my husband is recovering well. Enjoy your Chanel 🥚 cream. It’s a super cute gift! And hope you like the Le Lift eye set also! I agree with you on the organizer inserts.

[@mariac6759]

Thank you! I have never tried base shapers for my bags but now I will. I trust your recommendations. I also love and use often the Chanel gel coat and Hermes lipsticks, the latter worth its price for the gorgeous case alone and they are refillable to boot. One lip balm that I am currently loving is Augustinus Bader's. I was skeptical too at first, having used Kiehl's all my life, but it leaves my lips hydrated without the gooey heavy feeling.

[@u.tt99]

I think you should try Samorga for your Birkin, they taper like the 7rp.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Good to know, thank you.

[@ea1420]

I knew 7RP organizers were expensive, but $600+? I think that is ridiculous. I like organizers in a lot of my bags. I’m a big fan of zoomoni organizers for bags that are less common. But, I don’t own one for my speedy or Neverfull because there are much cheaper options available on Amazon that work just as well. But, I like zoomoni for all my other bags. I think they are pretty reasonably priced, the quality is good, and while they take awhile to arrive, they’ve never taken more than a couple weeks for me.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I agree. I really like most of my Zoomoni organizers. Don’t know what I was thinking getting the 7RP. It’s very luxe and feels super nice but it’s an insert! 🤦🏻‍♀️ 😂

Thank you for this informative video. I don’t get the hype over Baccarat Rouge 540. It does not smell good to me. It is an overly sweet cotton candy fragrance. I think a lot of people wear it because it is expensive.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Hmm, the way a perfume smells depends on the chemistry of someone’s body/skin. So each fragrance may smell a little different on each person. It sounds like Baccarat Rouge 540 just isn’t for you or to you liking.

[@magnoliarose5910]

I need to get the base shapers for my WOCs. I use them too much to not get some! Also need to get some organizers for my Longchamp and Noe BB. Thoughts on if you have a choice of thicker or thinner felt what you would choose and why? I think one of those major organizer brands does two different thicknesses. Looking for structure but also not unnecessary weight. Also how long does the effect of the Le Lift last?

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I think for your Longchamp and Noe BB, get the thinner inserts so they don’t take up precious space. As for the Le Lift, the effects are not long-lasting. It’s meant to be a quick fix when you look tired or puffy in the mornings. I’m not sure the effects on wrinkles though. 🤔

I love watching raw unboxing footage on other people’s videos too! 😂 I was hesitant to try the Zoomoni one in the Birkin when I noticed the sides weren’t tapered in, but after filming, I tried it and it fit really well. The only thing is, because it doesn’t taper, it holds the bag open wider than I’d like, if that makes sense!

If you’re trying to keep the inside of your classic flap clean, then a lightweight, thin organizer might work well for you. I personally don’t use inserts in my classic flaps bc they take up precious space and the capacity inside classic flaps (at least medium size or smaller) is not that much. Hope this helps!

I have a 7rp in my B30 and I noticed the same sagging starting over a few months time. Try storing it closed, with the sangles not tucked down behind the metal pieces, just let them lay across them and latch them at the front. I find that storing it this way vs open has made all the difference. Sagging gone. They are not worth the money I paid. Nothing special, just feeding off of the hope that if someone can pay $11,000 for a bag then they’ll happily drop an additional $600 for an organizer touted to be the only organizer a B or K owner should use.

7RP is really overpriced for what it is. Ok they are different from Samorga or Zoomoni but is still really overpriced. I do organizer for most of my handbags not just for the shape but also to protect the interior from getting dirty or i may accidentally spill make up inside the handbag. I also loved organizing my stuff even for the Longchamp tote. For the Chanel hand lotion, my errr....too. First the shape although is cute but for small handbag, it is not so practical as compared to those small Loccitane or Rosken travel size hand cream and of course these brands specialized in hand creams. And the price is so much lesser. For the Baccarat Rough 540, i had the travel size one. Too bad Dossier don't ship here. I don't mind to purchase that if they do. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
