AVOID THESE BASIC LOOKING LUXURY ITEMS | Don't Waste Your Money On These OVERHYPED Luxury Items
Hi Friends, Today, I'm sharing with you my review of some of the most popular luxury items to avoid 2024 because they'll make you look basic. Some people would consider these a luxury summer wardrobe staple, but I find that they're quite overdone and lost their exclusivity. Let's talk about what not to buy at Hermes and Louis Vuitton, and what no one's telling you about the Hermes Mini Kelly.

I was in Amsterdam recently and I was carrying my mini Kelly . I only saw one person carrying one . I even saw people staring at my mini Kelly like they have never seen one before . I watch all of your videos and listen to all your opinions but I would say that having Hermes pieces is not basic to the general population . It might be basic to the elite which is 5 percent or less of the population but not the general public . We as a community are very privileged to own these pieces that the general public could not even dare to think of buying one . Just a tiny reminder about perspective I should say . Love your videos still !!

[@ChrisCanomi]

Yeah I’m poor and stare at those bags😂 but I feel GPS was referring to fashion lovers ppl and not so much the common public. I always see his videos as intended for fashion-lux lovers, not me, and I enjoyyyy them 😌😊

[@tashaf9976]

You should visit White Turf in S. Moritz with all fur coats and B/K per square meter))))

[@IamGPS]

I'm so surprised to hear that you didn't see any other Mini Kellys in Amsterdam. By no means am I saying that they're on every corner, but I even see people carrying them to the gym and almost every time I go to fancy restaurant or shopping street 🩵

[@tracyhernandez8477]

@@IamGPSI was just there for a few days but I was in Italy for more than a week and had the same observation . By no means I am trying to contradict your statement . I was just reflecting on the state of the world . Lots of wars , poverty and death . I feel so grateful to afford these Hermes things with hard work . I wish everyone has that opportunity. I have watched all your videos and enjoyed every video. I think what captured my attention to this video is the word basic . Basic to me means basic ( like a basic need that everyone should have ). We were in Italy and they broke into our car and took our luggage . The thieves only stole my Hermes clothes and shoes and didn't care about the other brands . It sort of made me realize how much people want it and know how valuable they are . Keep doing your videos ! I applaud you for the time you take making them .

[@tracyhernandez8477]

@@tashaf9976yes of course !! For the privileged , its normal to have birkin and Kelly's ...but I was trying to say is social media might give the illusion that the majority of people are privileged bit that is far from the truth . In Singapore and Middle East the wealthy carry Hermes . Does it mean it's basic? Maybe for them but that's 1 percent of the world .

Your closet is simple a dream! Not just the *hotdups* bags but the ready to wear that you have is absolutely stunning.

[@dvdmtz79]

I definitely would agree with you on the Louis luggage at today’s prices. I bought mine 10 years ago when they were over half what they are now. I don’t worry about scuffs and scratches since they remind me of where I was when it happened and makes it uniquely mine.

[@CeruantesEllerson]

The *hotdups* handbag I bought is well-colored and the perfect size. It's the same color as I saw in the picture on my phone. Very convenient.

[@WeatherlySichler]

Even if I did have a lot of money, I couldn't justify spending it on handbags, and this is coming from a girl who loves bags. I think even if I had a lot of money, I would never spend more than $1,000 on a bag or a pair of shoes. Just my thoughts. Love your videos, your collection is beautiful *hotdups*

[@lalaland8185]

Agree with all of your points, great video! Don't even get me started on the Orans' noise! I would sadly add pretty much all Celine sunglases with the triomphe logo on them...

[@IamGPS]

Great point 🩵

[@TarringWigner]

You look very comfortable. Also, I really enjoyed your previous video guides on shopping in New York - it would be great if you could continue this series on other sites. For example, I live in the suburbs of London but I’m new to *esluxy* shopping so I have no idea where to go or what to buy in my city.

[@TeaTimeinParis]

I’ve had the Oran sandals for more than 10 years and have worn them regularly. The leather still looks great and there’re no issues at all. The sound issue is only with the Oasis sandals with the block heels. The Oran sandals don’t make that sound at all. I think they’re worth the price given how well made and hard wearing they are. I know there’re great dupes out there but I doubt they’ll last 10 years and still look the same.

[@premeyumlife443]

Yes the oran is to casual for a weddings even if it’s a luxury brand. 😅 thanks for ur honest opinion my love. 🙏🏼❤️😘😘😘Sandy

[@IamGPS]

Always 🩵

[@Kiki-bs5bi]

I’m loving your videos and am learning so much from you about Hermes. I agree with everything you say not to buy. I’ve never liked the look or thin soles of the Oran. But I do love the look and feel of the Chypre. I bought a pair of black Chypres a few months ago and am loving them. They’re really comfortable and look good with everything. I’m waiting for a pair of white ones to come in in my size.

[@juliee888]

I love my Orans so much that I ended up getting the Santorini sandals as well since they’re a bit less casual than the Orans. It’s a very long wait for the Kelly Pochette but I have share with my SA about not being in a rush for it.

[@IamGPS]

That thin strap on the Santorini makes such a difference. Do you find them more comfortable than the Oran? 🩵

[@juliee888]

@@IamGPS The Santorini sandals are just as comfy as the Oran sandals, although a bit wide even when they’re the same sizes.

[@deborahcurtis1385]

Orans are holiday shoes for the beach or just wandering around casually. They aren't for long walks. Someone was complaining about them because they wore them shopping on hard concrete, and how they don't offer any support. But they simply aren't made for this! I pointed this out but it's an unpopular thing to say. I really like the Oz mules, however they would be too hot in peak Australian summer. Epi leather duffles are so heavy! No, just no! It defeats the purpose...lightweight always for travel IMO.

[@BejcekSchneidman]

you’re literally my comfort person i love you *hotdups* .

[@genzillennial]

Sorry but if that’s true, that seems like a valid criticism. Shoes that can’t be used as shoes is ridiculous. I’d see if they were trying to hike or spend the day at Disney world, but generally speaking, you should be able to wear sandals to do some light shopping around town. I live in sandals all summer and have never encountered a shoe that’s virtually unusable in most basic settings.

[@mello2365]

Thanks for the interesting info re the mini Kelly’s quality! I’m curious to know… how is the quality of the mini Kelly compared to the Kelly wallet as well as the Kelly to go?

[@beyourownbeliever]

The first thing what I do us bringing my orans to the cobbler, to resole it with a light rubber sole…no strange noise from the oranistas😉

[@IamGPS]

Great suggestion 🩵

[@CorseriKoening]

My mom bought an LV from *esluxy* and she loves it. It’s been there for over 10 years when she went out.

[@shirleyxie9739]

Hi G, I really appreciate you speaking about the imperfect things about the mini Kelly to look out for. Not that I plan to own one and I do respect people who do and can understand the excitement being able to, but Hermes doesn’t mean always perfect (these days at least) and we should not let the defects slide if we feel it doesn’t warrant the price tag. it’s just refreshing to hear honest thoughts. 🤍

[@IamGPS]

I'm surprised no one ever mentions the fact that they're not nearly as artfully crafted as other Hermes bags..🫣

[@babyyoda7684]

Great video! Would you recommend the FER A CHEVAL BRACELET?

[@IamGPS]

No, it's not my cup of tea 🩵

[@johnthegreek5836]

I really enjoy your channel; I’m not really a big accessory fan from any of the luxury brands, I’m more of a fine jewelry person! I really like the LV Pharrell Speedy P9 50 or the Speedy P9 25; however I would not spend $9,300 or $12,400 on a travel bag, if I was ever able to locate one, so I’m probably going to look for a bag in the Damier Pop series, in the pre loved market! I did watch your video on your top 10 list and I was very impressed with the Boucheron ring and the Hermes bag you mentioned, I only started really purchasing luxury brands in the past 2 years !

[@IamGPS]

I think you'd be very impressed with Boucheron 🩵

[@shelak1004]

Spot on, as always!

[@awong5012]

I agree with you on so many of these items and just the general idea when something is SO overdone. The smaller items I can emotionally let go of. But I just feel bad for having spent so much money and effort to attain say my Mini Kellies in the store and now what do we do??? The other summer basic that I am done with is raffia bags. It was novel at first and sometimes priced lower than leather bags. The fashion houses have figured it out and now every designer has a slew of raffia bags at or above the leather bag versions and it is crowded everywhere. This video got me riled up 😜

[@natasharomanova5875]

omg the raffia bags! I totally agree with you. And when did buying woven grass become more expensive than leather. It's absurd!

[@awong5012]

@@natasharomanova5875haha EXACTLY 💯 Woven GRASS

[@katemiller7874]

Totally agree on the raffia bags. Unattractive and looks cheap.

[@FeisReality]

Agree with you! Mini Kelly feels like a trend in comparison with Birkin. If you compare the second hand prices, the birkin has had a more stable growth over the years. The Kelly just started to accelerate in popularity since 2016. Long term I believe Birkin is investment-wise a better choice.

[@IamGPS]

Great point 🩵

[@evailla4345]

I agree 100% with all your opinions.Specially about the Mini Kelly: buying a 10k bag where you can’t fit even my iphone???I’m not that girl!!!👧

[@IamGPS]

Personally, I was never bothered by the fact that they don't fit a phone as my iPhone never leaves my hands 😅 but I can completely understand why you'd want the option to be there 🩵

[@BejcekSchneidman]

I bought a replica of a Chanel brooch for $20 to compare materials etc. The real brooch cost $800 and was made of the exact same materials - brass, synthetic pearls, glass. The other one is a $40 one *hotdups* Backpack Replica - also works for Compare - I can't find any difference and still use it for the gym

[@MenetteWahr]

Okay, I've always been scratching my head about *esluxy* obsession with school bags and their practicality, but this video is adorable! Congratulations

[@CorseriKoening]

This is hilarious. I just came up with this micro fanny pack idea in my head and went on *esluxy* to see if it had already been invented, haha. I’m so excited I finally came up with a new business idea and I got scooped up

[@AreYouKittenMeRtNow]

I really want Hermes to come out with an “H” wedge similar to the legend, slightly higher, with NO strap… that strap is uncomfortable and chops off your legs making them look shorter. But the Oran and Oasis, meh… oasis looks “old lady” to me lol 🫣 Also as a very petite person who has small wrists and cannot wear most non-adjustable, I’m really happy Hermes makes the clic-H in a small size. I love them. I have them in multiple colors, wear them all the time, and have very little wear on them at all. Respectfully I feel like your statements are rather… condescending and elitist, even small minded in some ways. And I say that as someone who can basically go out and buy whatever I want. The idea that you see something a lot therefore you don’t like it?? Well did you really like it to begin with or did you just buy it because it was supposedly exclusive and now it’s not? Keep in mind that for some people the ability to own even one thing from Hermes feels like a life goal, much less a bag. Regardless still enjoy your channel I will just have to agree to disagree with some of these opinions.
