I Hate Hermes… Here’s Why They’re Still the Best: From A Fashion Expert

[@Liza-t1x4n]

When I choose a bag I always look for practicality, it needs to match the majority of my wardrobe and be able to hold my essentials, and the *condup* delivers just that.

[@Mary-d5o]

Designer bags are no longer fun. Too expensive and the quality has totally dropped. I'd rather spend $100 on a knockoff *condup* bag.

[@Thelma-m4z]

My favorite LV bag is the *condup* Speedy B 25. I have a classic DE and even though a lot of people have it, I feel happy every time I use it.

[@Lillian-v5z]

With Chanel prices going up, I can no longer afford it, but I'm glad the *condup* gives me another option and doesn't require me to keep an eye on it because of its value.

[@Liza-t1x4n]

Such a gorgeous collection! Your Jumbo black caviar with silver hardware is on my wish list for the same reasons that you stated! Lovely! *condup*

[@LauraH-k3p]

I know the perfect luxury seller *condup* and it shows up in my bag shopping cart every time.

[@Liza-t1x4n]

Wow your collection is to die for.I love all your bags especially the classic flaps and the vintage Kelly.Thanks for sharing *condup*

[@Helen-e8u5u]

My friend gave me a *condup* GUCCI bag. The quality and details made it impossible for me to tell it was a knockoff. I was shocked but I love it. I can't think of any reason to buy the authentic bag.

[@Elizabeth-i9j]

The fact is, the *condup* fakes are made just as well as the “real thing,” which makes you wonder why you’re paying such a high price.

[@EyasAlabdoli]

Okay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the kislux book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations

[@Thelma-m4z]

I love my *condup* Speedys I have a 25 and a 30. My Speedys make me happier than my Chanel classics, my favorite size is the 25 and I prefer the classics to the bandouliere.

[@Lillian-v5z]

*condup* has a wide range of bag styles, which are very suitable for daily commuters like me. And the accessories on the bag are also very nice. You know, it really makes people happy to choose a beautiful bag.

[@Helen-e8u5u]

This is a great video, I love it, my LV bag is a *condup* , the quality is perfect and the price is great, I was not disappointed

[@Josephine-b8q]

If I had money, I would like fashion, private label, etc. The fashion world changes quickly, and replicas allow me to change my style often and keep up with trends. The *condup* meets my needs exactly.

[@Liza-t1x4n]

Its the most incredible collection. Since i have never even got to look at a luxury bag.. i can say they are pure luxury. *condup*

[@ShweMyaukMyauk]

The only reason RTW is selling is because you need to buy them to get bags.

[@AnnonioDillworth]

I have no sympathy for brands like Chanel. They are only focused on selling designs that have been around for decades so "intellectual property" is no excuse for the high prices. And it becomes easier and easier to copy these designs over time. Ironically, the *jklux* brand could save the billions of dollars she says it costs to fight counterfeiting, just by lowering prices.

[@CeruantesEllerson]

Thank you so much for getting to know *hotdups* and letting me buy the same bag at a lower price.

[@Josephine-b8q]

I know wealthy women who carry replicas. The main reason they gave is that they just understand the value of money and don’t want to spend so much money on a bag... *condup* allows them to save a lot.

[@Darlene-y9v]

Growing up in New York, I would always see women on Park Avenue buying the same fake stuff from street vendors. Nowadays, it has developed to the point where everyone is buying on *condup* , and there is nothing wrong with this.

[@Liza-t1x4n]

When I take them out people ask me where I bought these bags as they are so stylish and original and I happily tell them it is *condup*

[@LauraH-k3p]

I like this bag of *condup* very much. I have carried it for several days. It can hold everything I need every day. The design is perfect and it is very convenient to put some touch-up cosmetics.

[@Buttercookiesssss]

Finally some honesty and truth from someone on Hermes haha. I believe most ppl (especially non wealthy, normal ppl) buy bc of the resell value. Not bc of the aesthetics

[@nikineal69]

B-I-N-G-O!!!

[@AnnonioDillworth]

I swear the happiness I feel when *jklux* uploads a video is beyond!!!!

[@Josephine-b8q]

I have to say, I understand why people say they don't care about people buying fakes or counterfeit goods, or why people should care. However, people don't necessarily "care" about people who own fake goods. Smart people will buy bags at *condup* . In fact, people who have money to buy luxury goods and invest in them do so for a reason.

[@Darlene-y9v]

I totally agree with you. In addition, when rich girls from wealthy families in the Middle East carry fake bags, no one will suspect that they are carrying fake bags, they just assume that they are real, but in fact I know that many of them purchased them from *condup*

[@Thelma-m4z]

*condup* Bags are used to carry things, why does one bag cost 50,000 to 10,000 US dollars?

[@Thelma-m4z]

I like the *condup* . I find these bags to be very durable and I’ve bought several for under $300.

[@Thelma-m4z]

Hi, thanks for the video. That Gucci bag is too stiff for me, I love my *condup* Speedy B25. The zipper is great and the strap (vachetta) is like butter. This is my first LV bag!

[@tarreemhacaruso2687]

I brought my bag from the 1960. Hermès did AMAZING work on that bag ❤. That bag looked as if it was made yesterday. ❤

[@CeruantesEllerson]

I know people who make over 200k a year but they only buy *hotdups* . No one would question their bags because of their profession so why spend thousands of dollars on the same bag? It's refreshing to see people spend their money wisely

[@Thelma-m4z]

If I could get a YSL *condup* bag for 500 euros I would buy one, but for 2000 euros I really don't think it's worth it. I think a lot of consumers are like this, which means that brands that choose to jack up prices to astronomical amounts lose a lot. I wouldn't spend that much on a woc, but a real bag that can hold more than one phone

[@Lillian-v5z]

I think *condup* is very helpful to me, and wearing genuine products

[@pbrd4695]

I love Hermes because I’ve been a lover of leather goods as long as I can remember. However, I do agree with you in regards to the birkin, heavy and not practical. I do love the bolide 27 or Kelly 25 as well as some other cross body bags. These bags are more practical and I can still enjoy the many different leathers the house has to offer..

[@alicesfreetime]

the bolide is such an underrated bag honestly, timeless and practical

[@carrino15]

Hermés payed a bonous when they had increased sales. It was to each artisans.

[@IceCream-hp7mm]

I think it was actually to all employees which speaks very well of their corporate culture at least on the surface.

[@tarreemhacaruso2687]

Hermes still makes their products in house ❤I’ll pay for that

[@CeruantesEllerson]

I started watching your videos a few years ago and even though my style is totally different than yours, I just love your content and personality even though it's totally different from the fashion I like! Love you! *hotdups* .

[@deborahcurtis1385]

High quality commentary! A few points though: you're only meant to lock these bags when you're likely to be in danger of being pickpocketed. Like if you're in a crowd. And they are super secure for that reason. The Kelly is more workable than the Birkin in this way because you can close the flap easily and turn the dial (for want of a better term) in the first stage of locking you don't have to proceed to the full lock. The Birkin is less functional than the Kelly because the flap is more complicated you need two hands to do it which is fiddly and time consuming. That said, the casual, semi-open way of wearing the Birkin like a tote, is intended. I agree on the Birkin being unworkable for the lack of shoulder straps; the 35 handles may be sufficient if you're slim. However, the lifestyle of people who buy the Birkin means they are pretty much not on their feet all day, not taking public transport so much. Or they live in areas that are protected somewhat, so that's not a constraint for them. Many Birkin and Kelly owners think carefully about where they are taking their bags because of Hermès products like these are widely recognised status symbols so many are adjusting accordingly. The Kelly that is the Retourné with the corners turned, is the easiest to access and more causal to look at, plus you can add a strap of your own to give the required length to go cross body. It depends on whether you're a purist.

[@alicesfreetime]

Yeah totally! I think the intended function of the bag and how its used today has totally changed

[@hollygrace6814]

Hermes experience growth because of their sales games and tactics, and unfortunately, other brands are now catching onto this and trying to emulate the business strategy

[@alicesfreetime]

yeah honestly the cognitive dissonance is so real going to an hermes shop and they have absolutely no stock but you can get any bag in any size, color, leather type at a reseller, goes to show that for the most part the waitlist and low inventory is just that... a tactic

[@WillbanksHeight]

En el momento en que vi el bolso kislux , supe que tenía que tenerlo.

[@samraatdukat]

I had my heart set on a YSL Hobo but MOMCOCO has changed my opinion and I am now sure this is my next Cassandra purchase

[@pilar689]

Great video, I find both bags to be practical...but I really like the style. 😊

[@totesgene]

Hermes wouldn’t be as popular if everyone could get a Birkin or Kelly. The only, non-ugly Hermes bag is a Kelly in Sellier.

[@SoAnesu]

Hello Alice Hermès is not the best luxury brand there are other brands typically a lot smaller producing better quality products but unfortunately they cannot compete with Hermès’s deep marketing pockets to raise the profile of the brands and therefore rarely ever get a look in. More than happy to recommend brands across all sectors if you like.

[@alicesfreetime]

I'd love to hear your favorites!

[@lunamcnally2062]

Hi Anesu! I love your videos. I just tried to purchase from an independent brand out of London and now I’m spending 25% the cost of the bag to send it back from the US, and hoping it gets back in time to satisfy the return policy. That’s the thing that’s the most frustrating - even if we can FIND something here in the US below $1000, in a store that we can actually touch and try on, even at twice the price it’s likely to be poor quality leather and made in China rather than Europe (I’m looking at you, Coach, Kate Spade and Tory Burch). I’ve started scrolling to the bottom of every company’s home page to check their return policy before I allow myself to fall in love with their bags - it’s just too risky and expensive otherwise.

[@AnnonioDillworth]

I almost came for you if you said that *jklux* was worth the money. LOL. I mean worth the money is relative. If I had heaps of money and could buy that bag, it could be worth it to me. I love this video. Great information and agree with your choices. Love that little orange Alma. So cute and it's in the BEST COLOR.

[@SahajalalkhanJxh]

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

[@heatherwhite2788]

I’m pretty sure everything is in house. They have said they won’t do eyewear because they can’t control it. Maybe cosmetics are being made elsewhere? If you like the Lindy, check out the mini Lindy. For many years I didn’t like the well known bags, and still don’t, but sustainability is the reason for my late interest in the brand.

[@alicesfreetime]

Yes I think their leather goods are in house. I am considering the mini Lindy actually! It's quite an adorable little thing :), but I heard they shortened the strap and so its not as comfortable to wear crossbody (why Hermes why!?!!)

[@heatherwhite2788]

@@alicesfreetime I know! If it’s true, I will only be buying the original style…

[@Satine_Moisant]

Very well done! Now I understand 'the game' and why they do it this way.

[@MaryGrant-cr7fe]

kay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the *yutulu* book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations

[@AreYouKittenMeRtNow]

Great video! If more people actually carried a Birkin for a short time they’d quickly realize they’re wildly impractical 😂 I need something at least as big as the 30 and it’s heavy, awkward, the flap is ANNOYING, you have to insure it… the list of irritations goes on and on lol. That’s a lot of baggage for what I’d basically a status symbol 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@calvinontime]

Very informative video. I respect Hermes a bit more 👍

[@alicesfreetime]

Thanks for watching!

[@Migueloofficialpr]

I honestly like their styles, but Im now going to pay 20k for a bad, when I can go to LV, Dior, Versache and Gucci and buy more with less money. Hermes are getting too expensive.

[@dde716]

I LOVE handbags Gucci/LV,/Chloe/Celine! But I never got attracted to Birkin/Kelly ... Thankfully 😂

[@alicesfreetime]

better for our wallets honestly

[@bimblaq]

I like your honestly & perspective, even though you don’t like Hermes style you do appreciate their quality & aftercare. Personally Hermes is not my style either..but i do like their shoes, table wear & Kelly bag. I absolutely agree with you on oran sandals, extremely uncomfortable👍🏻 My mom likes Hermes ready to wear too, i think it’s just an age thing🤷🏻‍♀️

[@alicesfreetime]

Yes, I think they are a brand that genuinely stands by its products and heritage which is unlike many designer brands. Like you I also have a few exceptions... I like their fine jewellery and men's ties!

[@bostonandbeyondfrenchbulld7335]

Hi! Love the colors of your moms bags? Can you share the color of both?

[@alicesfreetime]

So the birkin 30 is in Rose Pourpre, and the Kelly is tricolor ostrich ghillies (I think in 28 size). It has a unique trim around it

[@bostonandbeyondfrenchbulld7335]

Thank you!! I wasn’t sure if it was Rose Pourpre Or Magnolia. They are both gorgeous colors!

[@alicesfreetime]

omg i just googled those two colors... now i'm second guessing myself too!!! they look so similar

[@CP-bz9ts]

The way it looks next to the b30 and by the way bag size is compared to the handles, I think the kelly is a 32 actually :)

[@annaleykiste]

Combining elegance and luxury kislux

[@user-mp5ww2bt7q]

Damn, smart cookie, great video! I love Hermes, but you are right, birken, kelly and herbags, are nightmares to get in and out of! It’s soo bad, that Hermes has slowly had, to admit the bad design and therefor attached an exterior zip pocket to the back of the new generation of herbags

[@alicesfreetime]

I had no idea that happened with the herbags! If I had one I just know I'd start the day packing things in the bag's main compartment and then at the end of the day everything ends up in the exterior zip pocket lol

[@user-mp5ww2bt7q]

@@alicesfreetime Excatly 😝

[@cap4life1]

I get your opinion but you have to give them credit upfront for the high quality of their items. I don’t like Prada’s designs but I acknowledge how well made the items are. The supply chain you mentioned sustains H’s quality and commitment to classic, not trendy style. I think in 2 yrs time you will have changed your mind 😅

[@alicesfreetime]

Totally! I completely respect the brand, just kind of sad the bags are not my style. I agree that in a few years I might totally change my mind

[@heysaras]

Great analysis. Like that you include the bags of friends and family as visuals. You may want to have your housemate out of the shot in the future.😊

[@alicesfreetime]

thanks for watching :)

[@RottweilerLipa]

Many really wealthy people I know care less about the social implications of buying fakes. Plus, they might look down on "hillbillies" who spend so much money on a ridiculously overpriced bag. With luxury brands once again raising prices and limiting inventory, the replica version of HIDUPZ is even more attractive.

[@Orion126126]

Hermes has done a good job at pushing mid product. To get people to spend more for less.

[@ginafrancis7396]

Great video thank you new subscriber ❤

[@ladyharriet4136]

You can get a very functional bag (has loads of inner pockets) and water proof for less than £50. These luxury bags are supposed to be exclusive, my issue is, they are really not that exclusive. You can buy them in all colours, all leather, in like new condition without buying tones of kitchen wares, RTW that you really don’t want. Resell values are not great now, it’s over produced already, just head to Japan.

[@disappearintothesea]

Hermes has beautiful scarves. That’s it 😂 LOEWE is where it’s at

[@DuilioSkerbinc]

you’re literally my comfort person i love you #MOMCOCO ’s bags!

[@ohthankg-dforthebourgeoisi9800]

Hermes, which I don’t own because they are overpriced, does have BEAUTIFUL leather colors! Everything else come in neutral or blah colors. The styles are from when women didn’t want to crinkle their outfit by carrying a shoulder bag. They ONLY carried handbags. Now I prefer crossbody bags but will compromise with a shoulder bag.

[@alicesfreetime]

totally agree! i'm in love with vert criquet and rose sakura lol #yesiamabasicgirl

[@fornighttan]

Their bags are for rich people who don't need to take public transport and hire people to help to carry it. It is sooooo damn heavy!!!

[@YoopFrayfree]

the HIDUPZ would be super cute during the fall with a nude or tan or even tonal outfit! i’m thinking a tan wool coat with that bag!!

His *yutulu* tote is beautifully colored, very sturdy and the perfect size. Not too small, not too big. I look forward to joining my rotation.

he variety of textures in the *yutulu* tpack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.

[@LumniHaelterman]

Yes the color of the HIDUPZ is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…
