Such a cute and knowledgeable young lady, I was as bag obsessed as you are at your age. Now I'm 51 I'm still as obsessed! I enjoy your videos and value your opinion. I have never regretted a classic bag and I am sure you won't either.

[@user-if5qd1tf4k]

I gotta be honest, you've become my favourite luxury bag youtuber in less than a month, I love your videos 💚 so happy for you that you (nearly) got every current dream bag of yours! I've gotten my first Chanel two days ago actually and I couldn't be more excited. It's a beige flap bag, as in your wish list for 2021, so I can definitely recommend it , so far I've used it🥰! Have a great evening, Lots of love, J 💚

[@olympe95880]

First person i see that stay real even with having a birkin. I see many people saying this is the best bag etc etc. I don't own one but i can see that quality etc is good but there are out there many cheaper bags that are more versatil. The look of the birkin tho is ON POINT ! Also this increase price is super annoying LV also do it , i don't mind if its few euros but for exemple i bought pochette metis for 1650 and now its +100 € ... like why ?? its already expensive Edit : What i mean = its sad that some people look down on other brands because it's Hermers.

[@JesuisLou]

Thank you so much 🥺♥️ I honestly think of it as a bag and nothing else, and yes I adore it but I still love all the other brands and will keep buying them ♥️

[@olympe95880]

@@yulianagonzalez2428 Yea and this business is taking whats left on my acc xD and its not much. I understand but its not like coach for exemple quality is super good and its affordable if they go up i wont mind, but LV for exemple the quality has dropped down sooooo bad that they had like to recal some production to remake because it was super bad quality ( also check yt videos many people have complains) so this is a little bit :/ meh, because increase price should go with incease quality and not the opposite

I thought I am the only person that feels people bringing a birkin to a wedding is just to brag. Its just not attire appropriate. A chanel classic flap or a clutch will be more suitable.

[@justflorie4629]

I really like your video because it had no tabou. You speak price, quality, differences... and it's rare that youtubers doing that.

[@AlwaysAntonette]

The battle between these 2 fashion houses. I love Chanel but I feel that their quality now has gone down and prices has become too crazy yet Hermes has maintained its quality and craftsmanship. Hoping to get a Kelly in the future. 🙏🏻 Great topic Lou 💕

[@msi8311]

Same. Both can be argued as good investments, but only Hermes is hand made with consistent quality.

[@JesuisLou]

I agree, if you are already hesitant I would go for hermes :)

[@pearlaacloset]

@@JesuisLou hi loves do u have an SA for hermes thank youuu since they do not ship ..

[@dinavienna]

BTW I would use my baby pink Birkin 25 for a wedding - it is very mini on me though since I am 1.74 m tall .. I find it to be an occasion and everyday bag but any bigger size I would not use for occasions. I think as a mini on taller people it works .. but I respect your opinion no offence taken at all

[@Dandelion_881]

I wish Chanel’s hardware is gold-plated! Luckily, my medium classic flap in black lambskin purchased last year ordered from Chanel New York arrived perfect. The price hurts.

[@esmeraldawynster]

I’m so into kelly rather than birkin but girl, i love the bag because of the quality, the design, the leather, not the status! I love the bag because i love it. That attitude of yours... i feel ya! 😎😎😎

I agreed 100 percent on quality issue with Chanel bag. I have been told that Chanel bag is not handmade. I does not like the design of Birkin. But I agree that best quality of all. I appreciate your post as always

You make me want to go on a purse shopping SPREE ! I have my pink Coco Top Handle that I am obsessed with and a Lady Dior WOC andI love them. I now want a classic flap in lambskin but they are INSANELY priced. But i'm insane enough to buy it ;)

[@4theloveofbags900]

I’m a handbag lover and owning them doesn’t make me feel better then anyone else. I just love the hand bags. I think most handbag lovers love them and think nothing else. I love Chanel and Hèrmes but Chanel has pushed us into the arms of Hèrmes because of their crazy price increases. Love your videos lou 💗💗 Your birkin is gorgeous 🤩🤩

[@xoxrazzyxox]

I really want a Birkin but I don’t have the money to play around and buy lots of other things from Hermes I don’t want for the opportunity to buy a Birkin 😢

[@hannaliza2221]

Yes your right not for wedding attire 😂 use clutch like Judith Leiber for formal event 👍

[@lesly7831]

No offense to anyone out there but because of my wt gain during the pandemic my dress style is pretty much musty looking since I no longer can fit into my size 0 clothes. But I do enjoy wearing my Chanel handbags eventhough I look musty 🤣. So my point is I can care less what anyone thinks about my dress code. I'll wear what I want to wear. A person definitely doesn't have to look like a superstar in order to carry luxury handbags.

[@hahahanah1857]

Dear Dear Je suis Lou, I also have the same thought with you about the Birkin too. I also think that the Birkin is too casual for special events and is best to be worn in casual daily activities. I love to carry a small classic flap or Dior mini to special night events because they look more put together and classy in my opinion. I'm so glad I came across this video ❤

[@LinaChoi]

they are still so cute but I personally I feel like I see so many people with chanel classic flap I rather buy some other purse from chanel!

[@catherineconsidine9047]

Love your videos so much, Lou. Hermès all the way! Your Birkin is stunning! The quality and artisan work of Hermès is hors concours! Every bag has been lovingly and meticulously hand crafted. I've heard that Chanel bags are mostly machine made these days. Not sure if this is true but only one of the four Chanel lambskin classic flaps that I've bought in the last couple of years seems up to standard for such a prestigious house. I've already sold one due to quality issues and am thinking of selling another as it just looks CHEAP. The lambskin is like rubber - awful! Besides Hermès, I've found some other brands who seem truly dedicated to the artisanal process, focussing on quality and uniqueness of their pieces. Fendi, Dior and Delvaux have also impressed me when it comes to quality and service. While the classic flap can be worn for many occasions and is obviously a great design, rich in history, I'm increasingly disenchanted by Chanel bags which are starting to feel cheap and tacky. Great video Xxx

[@rhondabeard7012]

Thank you for being so transparent ❤️❤️❤️ If I were to purchase anything from Chanel it would be the Chanel 19 and the Trendy CC. If I were to purchase anything from Hermès it would be the Lindy 30, The Constance, and a Evelyn. Although the Classic Flap and the Birkin are beautiful bags they’re not my style. I will probable never own any of these bags because I can’t justify the price but that’s why I watch these videos😂😂😂 Great video Lou😊

[@jacquelinevaldemar7090]

I agree with you but the problem is that silly game Hermes loves to play, I have the money but the time I had the courage and asked, they were offended, even tho I do have a history with the brand and that specific store 😞

[@DariaIvanovaTV]

Totally agree that Hermes is a better quality. I would pick Birkin over the Classic Flap

[@nandiaconstantinou8181]

The Birkin appeared very ugly when it was put next to each Chanel bag. 😄

[@dinavienna]

I love Chanel and treasure my classic flaps from years ago .. but NO WAY is the approximation to Hermès prices justified. Chanel constantly declined their leather quality - Hermès is at the top with leather quality. Hermès is HAND MADE (for Kelly and birkin) - so no way mass produced Chanel classic flap is even in the same league ! There are videos comparing super fakes with authentic bags where the super fake Chanel is better than the auth (with Chanel bags having ridiculous flaws ) 6,000 dollars for mass produced Chanel is just ridiculous ! I know Hermès is hard to get - and I personally don’t want to put 10,000 plus towards Hermès items I truthfully don’t want (not interested in their clothes or shoes at all).. so I get that I am not their Target Client.

[@zaramilano]

We don’t deseve you, what a sweet and intelligent girl you are💜 Thanks for your opinion about Hermes, cannot agree more! I really want a Kelly, but don’t like “the game” as well

[@watchSIW]

The birkin 25 only had a 3% increase in 2021. So no they are not trying to maintain the price gap from chanel.

[@mbelieve9919]

I enjoy your honest reviews and acknowledging that we pay for both craftsmanship and prestige with these two houses. I agree that there is a clear quality difference between the two, which is still reflected in the price differences. At the end of the day, the styles serve different purposes. Hermes has dressier bags that are not as popular. Chanel’s casual bags are often more than Hermes, but Hermes is better quality (like Chanel’s Deauville tote vs Hermès Garden Party).

[@jlchannel5308]

You’re making me love your videos more, it’s a good review at the same time, people should stop comparing Chanel and Hermes, your opinions are very humble also 😘 I will always be a Chanel Fan and yes doesn’t mean that you have Hermes you can be Cocky, they’re both different fashion houses I must say

honestly, hermes is disgusting with its quasi illegal bundling sales. I'm not a huge fan of chanel either, but hermes is blatantly illegal and unethical, honestly should go to jail for breaking the law with bundling sales. its revolting they get away with it and have a cult following their psychological bullying game. sighs.

[@carolinewidjaja8782]

I totally agree with you that Chanel starts reducing black color from their classic collection to compete with Hermès. I kinda noticed that they’re producing more colored bags than Black ones on the market now.

[@jasminsparkle]

Yes I totally agree with you. I feel like Hermès is more worth the price than Chanel. I love chanel too but it’s too much now with the increase and the quality is not matching the price. I feel like Hermès give you everything for the price. I’m with you 💯. Thanks for sharing dear. 🙏🥰🥰🙌🙌

[@isychia4947]

I LOVE CHANEL. But I love to make things and would rather buy a sewing machine and fabric and leather, or classes before I buy an actual Chanel bag.........so I made my own Chanel bag. I know it’s not good but I’m not selling them I just made my own as an experiment to test out my handbag making abilities (some of the bags, mainly the fabric/tweed ones look so SIMPLE. So I made my own and it looks and feels super similar.) and I’m perfectly okay using it once in a while and people knowing it’s fake because I don’t think affluence necessarily means class and style. Until I have the money to buy the bag twice and not feel like my wallet is crying then I’ll buy a bag or will I be swayed to buy a bag. Until then it’s not something I feel I need to feel validated by myself or other around me. I loved the video Lou ❤️ you’re so smart and I love listening to you talk about handbags and fashion. I want to make my own fashion brand one day (jewelry, handbags and garments) and I hope one day you’ll want to try out my pieces ❤️

[@armsav9538]

Very genuine video. I am almost 50 years old and own quite a bit of Chanel and Hermès. Hermès isn’t trying to play a game. They view their B and K as prizes for those who are loyal to the brand. It takes about 5 working days (8 hours per day) for 1 artisan to make 1 bag (B or K). It is impossible for them to sell a bag to every customer that wants one if they want to maintain the highest level of quality. Additionally, it takes years for an artisan at Hermès to earn the job of crafting a B or K. They simply don’t have the qualified manpower to make enough bags. Hence, I don’t view it as a game. They want to reward loyal customers with bags that are produced in such small quantities. Chanel bags are machine made and as such they can mass produce to sell to anyone who wants to buy one. Enjoy your bags in good health!! You are lovely.

[@betty2905]

I totally agree with you birkin and Kelly are more casual specially if bigger than size 25 😊. For occasion I will grab mini lady Dior , Chanel sm/ med classic flap or even colorful mini flap... congrats on your birkin ,love your honest review .

[@yulianagonzalez2428]

That’s a great comparison I can tell the Hermès quality is on top of the top

[@JesuisLou]

It definitely is

[@heidijay5902]

I feel like the Chanel price increases are the best best reason to purchase Hermes (for quality reasons). I personally never cared too much for Chanel bags (way too pretty for my style), I still wouldn’t mind a small wallet from them, just from a collectors perspective & I’d definitely purchase a Chanel WOC if it was possible to reconcile their prices with their quality, but I personally just can’t, so Hermes it is for me. Having said that, I completely agree with the opening statement, I wouldn’t buy either unless you really loved them, neither of them are actually worth the price unless you really love them. Owning either does not make you better than anyone else.

[@raniaelhelaly2572]

Thank you so much for this! And being real. Finally someone said it. It’s not about this price, it’s how much it’s worth to ‘you’ and yes I would never spend on a Lamborghini either but would gladly spend it on a bag I love ❤️

[@sococo1464]

I totally agree about the casualness of Birkins and Kellys. The versatility and elegance of a classic flap has never been replicated by any other brand in my opinion. I've had some major issues with Chanel quality recently and I love all my H bags but the two brands have completely different aesthetics. People seem to get real new when they get a Birkin and forget that it can be difficult for most people to get the most sought after Hermes bags and also H bags are just not everyone's cup of tea!

[@sasukes2203]

Great video. I think we have to remember though that in terms of quality, Hermes is very different from Chanel in that it is still hand-crafted with only so many artisans who are actually trained in the craftsmanship, it also takes years for them to be fully trained, and it takes 24-48 hours just to make 1 bag. I believe this is what you were trying to say :) haha. Hermes bags also come in many more different types of leathers and leather textures (i.e. evercolor, togo, epsom, swift, novillo, etc.). There is therefore also a reason the Hermes bags are very limited in supply/stock and that they cannot just offer supply to just any customer that walks in. In terms of quality and "worth" I'm not sure these 2 bags can be compared.

[@DreamGurlOreo]

I have a jumbo, K25 and B25; agree with you Hermes is more valued because of consistent quality, simplicity and exclusivity. The value of being able to spa your bag is also a big deal. I really have 3 Chanel bags and I am happy. The real comparison should be between a CF and Constance. 😉

[@claudipereira6729]

Hi Lou! I have held both a birkin and chanel classic flap and agree with you, neither bag is really worth the price haha! However, I would definately buy a birkin or kelly over chanel classic flap. 6 months ago i was on the hunt for a chanel classic flap and everyone i held in the boutique had a fault so i could not justify spending £5,500 and ended up not buying the bag. I hope chanel improve their quality control for sure and until then i cannot justify buying into that crazy price if the bag won't last me many many years!!

I love that you are staying grounded and keeping it real. I have a few Chanel bags and I think they are beautiful and always say they are not worth the money, but they are worth it to me. I hope one day to buy a Birkin but only if I can get it for retail or close to retail price. I definitely won't be spending money in Hermes on items I don't want or need in the hope I might get an offer or pay double to a reseller. In reality for most people the price difference between a classic flap and a Birkin is much greater than the RRP. Anyhow, congratulations on scoring your beautiful Birkin!

They are beautiful and seems functional but omg Chanel needs to improve their quality control. 😰 I was ready to buy the black medium classic flap a couple of weeks ago, but immediately noticed the one that the SA showed me had such sloppy stitching. I asked to see other and after looking at 6, yes 6😭, different black medium classic flaps in 3 different stores I realized they were honestly a mess. I don’t think I was being too picky either. They were such glaring obvious defects that all the SAs that helped me agreed they looked off 😢🤦🏻‍♀️

I think Chanels quality has definitely decreased over the years with the main thing being, not doing the 24 carat gold anymore. I would always tell people to buy Chanel pre loved as it has the same wear which will be on their new bag in a few months but it has the 24 carat gold on it too! Chanels price increases has personally made me feel like I’d rather save a little more and get something from Hermes

Yeah, both are not worth it to me, people can buy what they want but these prices are absolutely shocking.

Plus for £10k I’d want gold hardware not gold plated 🤣🤣🤣

[@GracefulKnots]

You are absolutely right. The Birkin bags are more like everyday work bags to me. Glad the quality justifies the price but buying a bag that is nearly as much as my car a BMW, is not what I think I can do. I don’t really like them to that extent

[@lydiagreat]

[@luxebeauty5706]

I can tell you firsthand that Chanel's quality has gone down the tubes. I just bought a black lambskin and a black caviar classic, and both had to be returned because of defects. These were straight from the boutique orders sent out. Another thing is that these classic medium flaps are $7800 USD. My first one in 2014 (same bag) was $4400 (which was already over the top), from the same boutique. I sold that bag, because the caviar was very stiff, making the bag too cumbersome to use. I've never owned an Hermes, though if you're spending $8k on a Chanel, what's $3k more for a better quality bag....

[@pattyhernandez6348]

Love your collection. I love luxury handbags as well, but I’m not able to afford a Chanel or Birkin.. I have a couple of LVs & LV SLGs but not many.

Yess queen love the fact u stay down to earth👏🏽❤️⚡️

[@Purse.911]

you are on point but I have to say that here in USA a Jumbo is $7400 and a Hermes is $10-$11,000 or more. Just in a basic is $3000 more which you could do a lot with. And I am as obsessed and collector of bags, but is the truth. I think Birking looks as a briefcase/professional look and probably Kelly is more fun/outing special day kind of bag, more so if in a fun color. Definitely not the cool night out kind of bag. Im hoping Im getting a Kelly sometime this year, as I have the SA relationship going. I feel a good collection has to have a bag of this luxury house. But the fun and excitement comes with the hunt for those special Chanel pieces... Every influencer I follow has gotten a Hermes this year, it has gained its popularity. They are still a business after all.
