It doesn't have to be this way 💸 8 Expensive Shopping Mistakes You Can Do Without

[@jennn9637]

Also having too many items that serve a similar role, u cannot enjoy each piece fully. U end up having to force yourself to rotate to make use of all your items, which sometimes are annoying

[@DireitaFabii]

Well *suluxy* who wants to spend $20,000 on a bag when you could spend $500 for a dup / most no longer care about what class you’re in! Rich folks buy because they’re bored- and shopping is the thrill!

[@ColourfulNoir]

Agree! Xx

[@flohough1870]

Sometimes waiting to purchase also yields better results. Coach had a bag I loved, but it didn't come in colors I really liked. I went so far as to purchasing one and ended up returning it. Fast forward two years later, they came out with it in a color I loved. It is now mine and I use it a lot.

[@ednawilliams3608]

Very good advice for all ages. Even as a retiree, I've made some impulse purchases that I have regreted. We can all benefit from this advice.

❤️❤️❤️

[@BarkleyDanner]

Love *jklux* the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other KZbinr can show off bags in as much detail as you.

[@Karen-tr8jo]

So true on all your points . Quality definitely matters . I’ve bought very expensive things that broke very quickly and have had lowered priced things last me for many years .

[@ColourfulNoir]

Thanks for sharing!!xx

Some super knockoffs actually use not only fabrics that imitate leather, but sometimes even the real leather used by the brand, such as using top-grain cowhide or Togo leather to imitate Hermès, and these *hotdups* super knockoffs are what the wealthy wives in New York buy.

[@BarkleyDanner]

I use my *jklux* as a work bag and have had no issues at all. It’s a comfortable bag, fits a good amount and hadn’t lost its shape. With that being said, I also take care of all my bags and don’t carry a water bottle, pens, keys or anything that can damage the interior.

People can spend their money the way they want. Why waste your money on things that don't make sense? Invest in your money on things that will benefit you in the long run. What you are doing is paying for the name and not the product. If I can get the same look for a cheaper price I'm gonna buy it! *gtdupe*

[@marshawilliamson8602]

Thank you for reinforcing these shopping tips. I would add, don’t drink alcohol before you shop, especially on a special occasion. I am much more tempted to treat myself, when, in reality, I end up buying something for my fantasy lifestyle. 🌸🐝

[@FrenchFifi65]

Hahaha, you are so right! Whenever my daughter and I travel together, we find ourselves having an afternoon cocktail and then go shopping. We have to remind each other not to buy anything yet and to just pick out items to think on overnight and return if we still want it the next day. We have made too many impractical impulse purchases that we call “wine buys”.

[@TheMocao]

I’ve noticed that quite a few luxury brands have decreased quality in the last 20 years. It’s as if they are coasting on their previous reputation.

[@ColourfulNoir]

So true, sadly xx

[@debbiematthews981]

I think it is across the board with everything nowadays unfortunately. Food quality, products and services cars, electrical sets. in general are not as good as they used to be. You’d think with all of our technology things would be better.

[@XandroLaid]

The high quality fakes has the same supplier as the real ones. Fun fact from a supplier that lives in *suluxy* .

[@LaborinSchoeffler]

When it comes to buying second-hand items, I worry about its authenticity, especially now 😅 so I try to be more cautious when investing. I went to *hotdups* and really enjoyed the experience. Planning to go again in the future.

[@BarkleyDanner]

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 too much money on bags... so more people choose fashionable *jklux* bags. However, they do spend a lot of money on fine jewelry and other things.

[@jeanniebora-mapendo8836]

Thank Ellen you help me a lot for my shopping addiction . Again thank you for your advice. Be blessed

[@BarborSchermer]

The MOMCOCO neutral bag is so pretty!!! the smaller brown bag is so versatile. love the simple black bag. the curated bag is SO cute! the coach bag is pretty cute. the last bag is so cute for the beach. great collection !! ♡

[@jennn9637]

The 24 hr rule WORKS! so many times i’ve forgottenabout the item by the time i reach home

[@ColourfulNoir]

❤️❤️

[@ShmidtMonios]

I own both real and fakes, the materials and craftsmanship of the fakes are constantly improving and even surpassing the real thing. I bought a real Fendi and the material was so bad it broke quickly, which makes me more inclined to buy a *hotdups* knockoff bag.

[@OlivasBodenstein]

Plus once you get rich you don’t care if anyone knows your rich cause you are and you know you are at least that’s my take at this point *gtdupe*

[@laineydunlop2161]

I agree with you especially designer costume jewellery. Heartbreaking to spend so much in something that only has value because of the designer name and has a tendency to fail reasonably quickly. Xx

[@ellyjessie8500]

Hi Eileen, I just found your channel this week and I love your message! I totally agree with alot of the things you say, thank you so much being so honest and true to yourself and your audiences!

[@deepthicherian714]

Brilliant advice!✨🌟✨ Thank you for sharing!💖

[@ms.schnapp7415]

Great tips❤ Another mistake is not doing research or enough research. Just like what you’d do before buying a car.

[@ColourfulNoir]

Absolutely!!xx

[@CsaszarAdon]

Thanks for making this video on suggesting more budget friendly alternatives. Love it!

[@rebekahschroeder7949]

I was just getting ready to purchase a pair of shoes before I clicked on your video. I decided to wait until morning to have time to think it all through. ;-)

[@ColourfulNoir]

Glad I could help!xx

[@RosemarieSKikel]

Agreed, sometimes these bags are not even pretty or practical....there is just a lot of hype. In the end, these are just holders of our stuff and do they really need to cost thousands of dollars ?

[@jaynedurling4811]

I love your videos. Very good advice. And you are delightful!

[@ColourfulNoir]

Thank you so much!xx

[@JoleeSO]

As we age, we’ve seen soooo many trends that they become a source of great comedy😊 and they repeat! ❤

[@tereclemmer7923]

Good tips. Thanks!

[@ColourfulNoir]

Glad it was helpful!xx

[@adrianalopeztaylor1421]

that’s the new way to make you purchase something from brands calling it “limited edition” and triggering the FOMO ….it happened to me at Chanel with a perfume I was not into, the SA kept saying it’s a limited edition….. I was like no thank you mam

[@tn2007]

I bought a RH nightstand at the outlet for $500. There was only 1. I hated how it looked in my room and it bothered me that I only had 1. I brought it to Goodwill donation center eventually

[@bella4135]

Yes my biggest downfall is buying items on impulse! I now force myself to wait on the purchase for at least a week before revisiting it. Most of the time, I’ve forgotten what I wanted to buy or I just don’t want it anymore😅 I’ll have to save this video to watch as a good reminder before I make a big purchase 😂

[@katerinahoffmannova7309]

You are right👍💖

[@princeeverlove]

Eileen thank YOU 🌀👩🏻🌀

[@ColourfulNoir]

❤️❤️

[@kaylheecarroll3186]

Nice tips

[@CarolCreates]

6:02 last one in the country⁉️ 😂

[@MhoonStremlow]

If you can't afford designer bags and feel a certain way about expensive designer bags, then don't watch this video. Like do you read a video title before clicking on it? The title makes it clear that the video will be about designer bags. I find these types of videos very helpful and although I can't afford these bags yet, I know one day I will. I wanted to know which designer bag was truly worth my hard-earned money and one that I would get the most out of. That being said, if you're reading this, thank you for sharing this video with us and please make more videos like this. Maybe *jklux* is your next choice?

[@AdrienneMint]

Hi Eileen, i have been a sub here, since you started and love you and your advice to us. But i bought the Songmont bag after you showed it. I am very unhappy with it. Specifically there are several things wrong with it. It has a tiny lock on a thin strip of leather across the wide open top. It cannot be opened and i broke every nail trying, i have not used this bag yet, 6 weeks after getting it. My things will fall out, plus i cant even get my wallet in due to not being able to open up that little lock. The bag is also much smaller than i thought, and i bought the small, not the mini. So i may end up just throwing it out, for nearly $400.

[@idaranwa4370]

Try to sell it or give it to goodwill.

[@idaranwa4370]

[@nae4830]

You couldn’t return it when you realized it wouldn’t work?

[@ColourfulNoir]

Hey Adrienne, I’m really sorry to hear you’re not happy with the small song bag! I’m not too sure about that specific bag seeing I only have the mini song which doesn’t have a lock. I also chose it because of the flap. As I showed in the the video, the closure is quite secure so my belongings never really fall out xx

[@654ujala]

This is why you shouldn’t trust influencers and their reviews.

[@TamaziBotnaru]

Ilia kvalito ne estas malsupera al tiuj grandaj luksaj varoj. La fortikeco kaj atento al detaloj rivalas kun la originalaj dezajnistsakoj kaj mi ne povas kredi kiom mi ?paris. ?i estas la perfekta akcesora?o por iu ajn moda knabino! Mi certas, ke mi rea?etos iujn aliajn stilojn kaj kolorojn ? #hqdupe por kongrui kun miaj vesta?oj kaj ?uoj!
