I had my vintage second hand Box k32 cleaned at H spa. I found a gem, the HW is 24k plating. ✨🖤✨ thanks for sharing my love. 😘😘😘Sandy

[@IamGPS]

Beautiful 😍

[@asunbeam5479]

Am i the only one that has assumed some of my friends were carrying fake chanel classics for the past couple years because the flaps were not straight? I went into a store in summer and was shocked that chanel was actually selling bags with uneven flops ha!

[@ypf7717]

If they r straight, they are more likely to be fake

[@IamGPS]

Haha I can fully understand your surprise 😅

[@ttOoP123]

You are not her true friend. Friend never question friend’s appearance nor stuffs.

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

To make it even more confusing, someone could have an authentic Hermes bag but they may have bought it without a dust bag so they bought a second hand dust bag. The Birkin/Kelly/Constance could be perfectly authentic, but the dust bag might be fake! Thank you for the video. Have an amazing week!

[@IamGPS]

Excellent point 🙌

[@WeltySlader]

A few days ago I found a bag that was almost the same design as my dream bag, but the price blew my mind. I have a soul resonance with *esluxy* . It taught me that beauty doesn’t have to be expensive, it just has to be right.

[@goldensand92]

Insightful. I have this OCD thing where I make sure my bag code blind stamp matches the code on the receipts. Even though I bought it from the boutique 😅

[@ypf7717]

My first ever Hermes bag bought from the boutique has the code wrong on the receipt! Now I do check.

[@IamGPS]

You can never be too careful!

[@GetlerKerkman]

I mean if you can't tell....I like have nice things like for exemple *esluxs* . They been doing it for a while...we just finding out they were doing it.

[@SnachezParajon]

For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I would be happy to have the *esluxy* as my travel bag and not have to take care of it. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.

[@janaicr9629]

You look so comfy 💕. Also, I really loved your older video guide to shopping in NYC - it'd be great if you continued that series for other places.for example, I'm on the outskirts of London but I'm new to luxury shopping so I don't know where I'm going and for what things I am shopping in my own city. Another video idea: Luxury/designer shopping etiquette. Explaining what the general rules are, how to approach an SA, how to dress, how stores may differ. Something like a step-by-step for newbies (like me) who feel out of their depth. The thing I worry about an the awkward moment when I've spent 20mins drooling over a bag just to turn and leave empty-handed. Idk what to say! Maybe that sounds dumb but I'm so awkward, I don't want to come off as rude or uncomfortable, it's not their fault I'm an anxious mess 😅xxx

[@IamGPS]

I'd love to bring the city guide videos back, thank you for the suggestion 🖤 If you haven't, definitely check out my playlist of London vlogs - kzbin.info/aero/PLuKZfi1rQzdvv5QG7TkSTpjIe1sv8-f6o 🇬🇧 Your idea doesn't sound dumb at all, it's something I've actually been contemplating doing..so stay tuned 🤫

[@mimicat2363]

I have an old Birkin in barenia leather… The leather is fantastic, but the shape is slightly crooked in an interesting way… i guess faking the imperfection is way more challenging than copying the perfection 😂

[@IamGPS]

Haha excellent point 🙌

[@tatianamarchenko6487]

Hi there! Thank you for the video, very informative! Just curious, I’ve noticed that some of Hermes Kelly (including wallets) have a tiny logo of a horse on the metal part next to the writing “Hermes Paris” and some don’t. Is it something to look out for when spotting a fake one?

[@Belva34Polemeni]

It doesn't matter where they are made. It depends on the craftsmen and quality inspection. My family and I bought hotdups

[@julie_fitzgerald]

I bought mine in 2005 from Belgium came in an orange felt. Their boutique in Brussels.

[@returnofthesnatch]

i've also seen vintage bags from that era cone with orange felt

[@IamGPS]

And now you own a piece of Hermes history 🍊

[@julie_fitzgerald]

I do ! I will never sell it - was my first Hermes piece ( A Her bag original edition didn't come with a zip pouch at the time but the leather top came with TWO canvas colors. I chose the red and orange - both have brown piping and the leather top, handle and strap are all dark brown) along with pink H lacquer earrings I lost at some point. I had just finished high school and worked all summer and in total me style I spent it all on one thing instead of shopping at more affordable places 17 year olds would.

[@nikineal69]

Could not locate the blind stamp on my Kelly Pochette in 2021. Called the boutique and was told not all bags will have a blind stamp due to all the counterfeit bags in existence, and my receipt is sufficient.

[@IamGPS]

How interesting!! Thank you for the insight 🖤

[@GP-gt4bo]

Wow really?!

[@israeli_flava]

Great video! Just FYI... I have noticed that H puts the blind stamp on the receipt when u buy the bags now! So it needs to match =)

[@IamGPS]

Excellent insight, thank you 🖤

[@vlee00]

Hi! so where will I see the blind stamp on the receipt?

[@GetlerKerkman]

I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *esluxs* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.

[@athenaa972]

Great informative video. Congratulations Jo overjoyed!

[@IamGPS]

So glad you enjoyed it 🖤

[@BrroksSeres]

The variety of textures in the *preluxscom* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.

[@peterlangendorff9846]

The easiest way is to carefully look at the person carrying it.

[@christophers.3978]

Very informative videos as always! I was wondering if you might know if the herringbone interior fabric of Hermes bags can be cleaned, if there were food stains, etc?

[@IamGPS]

I've never done it, but you could perhaps try to throw it in the wash and run it on a gentle cycle 🙌

[@christophers.3978]

@@IamGPS Thanks for your message! Is it possible to remove the herringbone interior fabric?

[@christineweitz5747]

I have a vintage Hermès Kelly bag that I think is real. When my MIL passed, I acquired her handbag collection. She had many Chanel bags with tags still on them which I sold. This one they said ( I won’t say who) could not say was authentic so they sent it back to me. All her bags were real so… my question do you know where I can take the bag to see. It’s very old. I live close to NYC.

[@IamGPS]

Have you tried making an appointment with Fashionphile? They have a showroom in NYC and I know their authentication process is quite rigorou so you could always ask for their feedback, even if you have no intentions of selling your Kelly bag 🖤

[@GildaDouglas]

How do you manage to have this wonderful glass skin my god Tell us please !! ❤

[@IamGPS]

You're too kind ☺️ I'm sharing all my "secrets" here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6a7f2SDj8acgJI

[@ckchanneltv8551]

Good job bro

[@LottieByrd-qc7wy]

Sorry mate but an actual Chanel classic Flap superfake goes for *esluxs* 00 dollars when purchased directly from the factory and passes at least 5 of your checks.

[@hira3004]

taking notes religiously though I will never EVER be able to buy that frikin birkin

[@IamGPS]

Yes you will 🫶

[@ilknurokyaykelly]

Found a very old but nice wallet.. not sure about the authenticity because there are really closely made counterfeit ones unfortunately:(

[@IamGPS]

Oh that's tough 🫣 Does it come from a reliable retailer?

[@ilknurokyaykelly]

@@IamGPS nope because of this I need to authenticate by an expert. otherwise I will not buy.

[@zuzuribeiro7576]

Firstly stop buying second hand!!! Prices are unjustified and can be fake!!

[@LottieByrd-qc7wy]

A friend of mine was walking on the NYC Cannal st one day with her real louis bag and got stopped by the tourists asking her where on Cannal st can they get her bag She was so mad and said :I bought my bag on *esluxs* .

[@BrroksSeres]

i love you so much! I recently just found your *preluxscom* and i’m in love!! Your videos are so fun and you energy is just MWAH! keep living your life
