HERMES BIRKIN 25 REVIEW *1-YEAR LATER* | Pros & Cons, Thoughts | Kat L

[@debt1810]

I know exactly the feeling Kat! It’s just so special. I think most people that loves luxury bags wear more for themselves than other people.

[@nmernst]

I totally understand the hype of the bag. That said, I find my Sac du Jour Baby and Nano bags (I have 2.of each lol) satisfies that space in my collection. They also have a strap and the Baby does fit on the crook of my arm :). Great review thanks for sharing ☺️

[@reneehampton7665]

Thank you for your honest review. I find that people say they cost a lot, but never tell you what they paid for it. I am not sure why that is.

[@SMR218]

Thank you for the review. I’m considering a Birkin in Togo. The veins would look good to me. It definitely has pros and cons. Not perfect but it’s a beautiful piece.

[@ginamorris4520]

As long as you love the bag then it justifies it. If you can afford it it's nobody's business. For me I'm so happy and blessed that I get to collect a few LVs and a Gucci. My most favorite bags are my Speedy B25 and my Gucci Soho Camelia that I got last Mother's Day. I love bag reviews but Hermes I'm not aiming for.

[@KatL]

true and thank you for the comment!

[@Laurenlilly902]

Thanks to social media, the entire Birkin bag is one big logo........LOL I love the "self flex". very fulfilling.

[@KatL]

true! HAHAHA one big logo!

[@kklvoescc]

This is such a great honest review! Yes it’s an insane amount but as long as it gives you that much joy (and you can afford it) it’s totally worth it. Can’t wait to see the other reviews! 🖤🖤🖤

[@KatL]

thanks babe!!!!

[@MyfavoritesWithMaggie]

OMG Kat, I love the orange top on you! I’m still watching…. I’ve been waiting for this review from you! 😘

[@KatL]

Yay! Thank you!

[@camiq1245]

Its amazing how the same size looks so different on people. What I would be curious to know is if you could go back and do it again, would you buy a bigger size?

[@KatL]

good question! let me add this to my B25 & K25 comparison

[@jo_overjoyeod]

awesome review babe! yeah the sticker price of these bags make me a little nauseous too haha. but the b25R is my most used bag, along with the fendi mon tresor. so cost per wear is quite good. the sellier i don't use as much coz it's more formal, but it's a gorgeous bag and i know you will own a b25S one day! can't wait for the rest of this series!

[@KatL]

omg your b25S has gotten me soooo obsessed about it! It's on my wishlist!

[@HigureKyofu]

love the bag u have. for some odd reason im seeing lines on ur togo leather or veining . idk if ur seeing the footage of ur video .. u are so right about the handle, wish the handle was a little roamy. this bag needs an organizer too. i hate when all my items are all over the place.

[@KatL]

thank you! i can see it on the video too lol ; but in real life, it's noticeable at an angle.

[@kris_tan]

Thank you so much for this thorough review! This is a beautiful bag, it is soooo stunning!! Looking forward your Kelly bag review.

[@KatL]

thank you!!!!

[@babyrr3719]

I am 167cm and always wanted a 30 as my friend said 25 too small.. however when I tried in store both sizes, the 25 just look so beautiful and eye catching. There’s a reason why 25 is more sought after as it’s difficult to score and higher resale value.

[@Lifeisbeautiful-ri2tb]

Wow what a gorgeous and luxurious bag! This is the best color, size, and hardware combination. Your lip color is beautiful. xoxo

[@ruedeluxe]

Gorgeous bag! Congratulations! I have the sister of this bag same colors, Kelly 25. :) Thanks so much for this video! With regard to the items being close to the top... I will put an Hermes silk scarf on the top folded over in order to conceal what is inside and give it a pop of color :)

[@KatL]

Thank you for sharing the tip! 😘

[@ClaraZeela]

Loved watching ur 1 year review on this bag!! Still as stunning as the first day you took her out of the box!! Can't wait to watch the rest of the series!! 😍😍😍

[@KatL]

thanks babe!

[@LifewithLokie]

Amazing video Kat!! Love how detail you are down to the veining! Yes i do understand about the sinking on the lower half of the togo... but still also wonder if letting it lie down is better for storage. What do u think? 🥰😍 TFS kat!

[@KatL]

I heard that if you leave it to lie down, the lines of the inner back pocket will “indent” the back part of the bag

[@Jess-P]

The veining on your bag is so pretty Kat! Thank you for the review!

[@KatL]

Oh thank you!

[@KraftyPaws]

Great critique! Thanks so much for not glorifying this beauty.

[@KatL]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rachelyu7767]

Kat looking forward to a birkin/Kelly comparison!

[@Seemstobereal]

Great review.. I have the same problem with the handles. I just don’t understand why they couldn’t make the handles a bit taller ..otherwise I love it. I never wanted a Birkin but fell in love with it when I saw it.

[@KatL]

Yea, if it was justtttt a bit more, like 1inch? I don’t think it would look so weird. But it would make a lot of difference

[@raphyde]

Thank you for sharing. But i still want the togo, veins are part of the story of the bag. I dont mind it haha

[@KatL]

yea it does give the bag a different character

[@CherrieLee]

Beautiful B25 and nice review. I love ❤️ the veining on the Togo 🥰, I have a B25 etoupe and mine only got one tiny vein, but still love it 🥰

[@KatL]

thank you! etoupe is SO NICE!!!! i love that colour too!

[@alexakim107]

Love my B25 and I would definitely buy it again!

[@KatL]

🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@viv952]

Love your review, Kat! I have the qb in the other sequence, kelly 25 gold on gold and am now waiting for a birkin sellier. But a birkin togo is on my radar as well, so really enjoy your video. =)

[@KatL]

Thank you!

[@majanice]

thanks for the honest review, its a beautiful purse and every girls dream in their handbag collection 🥰

[@kaylheecarroll3186]

Great review, I would love to get at least one, cuz they're so expensive!

[@irishque]

i love the grainy look of the leather actually..

[@KatL]

yea!

[@premeyumlife443]

Very helpful with this honest video of the B25 my lady. ❤️🍊😘😘😘Sandy

[@dephnihyemi2507]

I love your birkin and I love your earrrings ! so bling !

[@KatL]

Thank you!

[@sandar6422]

Can you please make a comparison between Birkin 25 and Chanel small classic flap?

[@sarah0098]

Such a gorgeous bag! Shame you don’t use it as much as you would like tho. Would be so interested to hear how you use it compared to the k25 I personally use my K25 so much more than my B30

[@KatL]

Coming up! My k25 review!

[@badooraldossary239]

Kindly how many kinds of togo leather? Because i notice some of them have scratches 😍 others not

[@KatL]

Hi, I believe this is only one type of Togo leather, but each piece is different depending on the season. Some have more veining than others

[@nh576]

Which store did you get it from in sg :)

[@teslaus5675]

Can’t get it from store 😔

[@Anniel67]

What is the next H bag on your wishlist? I am thinking mini Kelly or Birkin 25/30. Mini Kelly because I would love to have for my bridal shower/wedding. Either Birkin for every day use/work but it may be a bit much for an office an office job. It’s the size of the top handle that makes me indecisive of the 25/30 as there are pros/cons to both.

[@KatL]

ahhhh such a tough question! I'm still undecided . i know the mini kelly is soooo highly sought after , but it's a really tiny bag and I don't know if I will get a lot of use out from it.

[@theahoi6303]

Which country did you get it from?

[@Sk__10]

Hey Kat ❤️ honest answer if you could choose between a gold on gold 25, birkin or kelly what would you choose? ☺️

[@KatL]

Birkin 😂

[@Sk__10]

@@KatL same 😭 I think I secretly hate the kelly because of the flap but dying to get one 😭 asked for a k for my 1st but got a b then thanked god for that. Asked for a k for my 2nd but my sa placed a request for a b 😂 so I think might be a sign from god ro stay a wayyy from the kelly 😂💔 still thinking of asking for one next year probs a mini cause might be easier to use than a 25 😭

[@SabrinaShekofteh]

Great review, thank you, darling! ❤️❤️

[@KatL]

Thank you 🥰🥰🥰

[@Buttercookiesssss]

Omg it has been 1 year!?!? 😱 Love the bag ❤️🤩

[@KatL]

Yup, Jan 2021 😅

[@Buttercookiesssss]

@@KatL gosh time flies!!...

[@Buttercookiesssss]

@@KatL Kat, if there's no resale value for Birkins Kellys and same price to pay for, do you still think its worth to get one? Maybe something like Dior, get back 50 to 70% max? Xoxo

[@JCayadi]

Great video on the B25! Very useful and I agree with you ☺️ I’m looking forward to the next one on K25!!! 😘

[@KatL]

Coming soon!

[@jiyamulani073]

If you could get another one, what is ur next color choice kat..: ❤

[@KatL]

Gold or Etain 🥹🥹😍😍

[@jiyamulani073]

@@KatL thank u: i have the same b25 in black n ghw. Wondering what to pick next from reseller.. u just confirmed my choice. 😁😁 after owning b25, i realise i am a open-tote hand held (carry everything under the kitchen sink) tote kinda gal. Ur k25 is already gold thou. My bolide is gold and my gypsiere is etoupe.

[@jesslyn7032]

You should def have 2 twillys on those handles too

[@KatL]

Yea, i think so too!

[@delmarabbie9633]

Price

[@melaniefields4589]

But really buying from a reseller would be the same price as buying in store plus the “bait” prespend purchases.

[@roimelendez1056]

Using practical everyday examples to give viewers on what can be carried thAt would fit just right, nothing awkwardly sticking out. B25 -Buk choy B30 - Gai lan B35 - Choy sum 😂😅

[@KatL]

hahahahahah

[@ruedeluxe]

I personally LOVE LOVE LOVE the veining... absolutely GORGEOUS! That is what makes it!

[@CarePlusbyTandJ]

hi from Thailand. i m the same size as you, would you recommend 25 or 30 as the first bag.? i just have been offered for birkin but not sure about the size i should select. thanks 4 your suggestion in advance.

[@KatL]

hi hi , i had 30 too and it's a good everyday size + can put at your elbow. 25 is only handheld. I like 25 because it is cute . If you're ok to handheld your bag only and you don't need to carry a lot of stuff, 25 is a good size

[@CarePlusbyTandJ]

@@KatL thank you so much Kat, very appreciate your suggestion and still follow your vlog. I decided to go for birkin 25 sellier eventually 😄

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Gorgeous bag! Hermes could easily put crossbody straps on it, just by adding grommets (I think they are called?) to each side. The duplicates mostly have them! LOL! Thank you for the video!

[@KatL]

Yea H can definitely create a new Birkin with Straps. Maybe it will happen one day!

[@nikiluv408]

Can you share the name of the color?

[@KatL]

Black / Noir

[@AshetLux]

Personally i find epsom better. I dont like the slouch

[@KatL]

yea, the slouch will be unavoidable over time.

[@karenwmc]

Hi Kat please do the same for your kelly 25 too thanks 😊

[@KatL]

Will do!

[@jaimeloke2003]

How much did u buy it for Kat?

[@lolipena8051]

She never says. But I looked at a couple sites online and in the US Togo b25 in 2020 was 9,850 without tax. You also have to factor your pre-spend. Now for 2022 Togo B25 - $10,145, Togo B30 - $11,200, Togo B35 - $12,450. Which of course with pre-spend they might still come out “cheaper” than resellers. For example fashionphile the cheapest Togo B25 they want 23k+. I really wishes she would say price and factor pre-send and see. But she won’t. There are other youtubers that break it down

[@KatL]

thanks for sharing. Yeah, I rather not mentioned because of what happened in the past when I revealed this bag :( H does clamp down on social media sharing and I don't want to be in their blackbook!

[@jaimeloke2003]

@@lolipena8051 thanks. I don't mind pre spend actually as I love everything in Hermes.... Rather than getting Preloved the bag can go until very high ;((

[@kris_tan]

Never been so fast

[@KatL]

Thank you Mama! 🥰

[@JennaNeal]

I don’t understand the open style concept. It looks undone. Just seems like an easy pickpocket bag if it’s open.

[@KatL]

Totally get it!

[@DaniOchannel]

Can't believe it's been a year. I think everyone feels a little sick when they first pay for the bag🤮

[@KatL]

hahaha !

[@animalrescuer80]

7rp is not worth it. It's so hype. I have it and it stretches my Kelly out at 1 side

[@KatL]

oh no! that's unfortunate! and it's pricey :(

[@vivistar_1]

Great review I wonder what kind of occasion would you grab this bag?

[@KatL]

good question~ i'll ask this sharing in the B25 / k25 comparison
