Louis Vuitton Unboxing & Initial Review | Neverfull MM Damier Ebene | Why I Wasn't Going to Buy It

[@RadwanSchwanke]

Such a great collection of vintage/pre owned bags! A vintage LYXBAGS is definitely also on my list

[@shaligasuksomsong]

I was torn to whether to get this bag and I finally jumped the gun. I’m glad I have this exact print and interior!! ❤❤

[@MarietaZaib]

the LYXBAG 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!!

[@makeupnmedicine]

I love your joy and enthusiasm. I really enjoy LV and it's fun to see someone else who is super excited about a new piece and also approaches it with the understanding that they are not "basic" and are so expensive and luxury, that it really is a privilege to have one. Red is also my favorite, would never choose pink over red in these bags :)

[@chelseagaray]

I feel very privileged to be able to own one. My husband works very hard and loves to be able to give me gifts I will use and enjoy. I’m very aware of what it takes to own one and I would never consider these basic. These are a very special purchase for me ❤️.

[@honeybfly2010]

Wow I’m late to the party…2 years late since you posted this video. Not sure if you’ll see this, but thank you for an awesome review! Straight and to the point and you hit a lot of topics that most people would like to know in a review. Thank you for such a great video! 💕

[@_allthingsmommy]

To the ladies who own this bag… I found a purse insert made specifically for this bag & it zips!!! Talk about functional & secure! I mainly leave mine open, but it could be zipped up if I’d like it to be 😌 great review!

[@nikkyola6064]

Where can u get the insert?Thanks

[@kimberlyh3646]

Love to see an update video on the wear on this bag and your thoughts after having and using it.

[@valmac3887]

Out of all my bags.....This one is my absolute favorite. You are going to love it.

[@chelseagaray]

Thank you! I am loving it so far!

[@cmc101196]

Amazing review, you sold me when you cinched it !

[@cindyjohnston3246]

Perfect for you for all the reasons you mentioned! I love it! I have the MM in monogram and love it! Perfect carry all!

[@chelseagaray]

Thank you Cindy. How do you feel about the Vachetta leather and do you find it worrisome to be concerned with water spots or uneven tanning of the leather ?

[@natashanbliss]

Getting my bag next week and so excited!🥰💕

[@chelseagaray]

Yay!! Congratulations!

[@rocknlulu]

Longchamp is another great travel bag and such a workhorse.

[@chelseagaray]

I own a Longchamp and do agree. Mine is red so it isn’t as versatile of a color to travel with.

[@susanbaum4984]

I have a Longchamp as well for travel. It is a dark purple and works great! Now I am getting older, I want to have a better quality and understated bag to travel with! Seriously thinking about Damier Eben never full with RED interior!

[@loriv828]

The best and the straps never hurt my shoulder, unlike the Neverfull.

[@EdmondsonPaguin]

Los bolsos en HIDUPZ combinan con todo. ?Muchos elogios! ?Gran pieza para agregar a tu colección!

[@lilaayy0722]

I also said for years I would never buy this bag. I got it 2 weeks ago and I love it🤣

[@chelseagaray]

Love this!! It is just so practical, you know?

[@arabianx0104]

All your reasons for not getting this bag were exactly mine. Now I’ve decided I 💯 need this bag. Can’t wait to get one. Thanks for your great review.

[@chelseagaray]

I hope you love it!!

[@RorieMember]

For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I would be happy to have the HIDUPZ as my travel bag and not have to take care of it. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.

[@Lorielizabethx]

Purse bling organizer has a zipper and doesn’t make it all bulky. I have zoomoni too but don’t love that one as much 🥰 you’re so pretty!

[@chelseagaray]

Thank you so much!!!

[@jasmeenluvsluxe5582]

Luv luv it! i cant wait to grab mine i am tote girl i wear tote every single day n i only change on weekends or dinners i recently i bought a big tote n took for weekend getaway made me realize even more i really really need neverfull way to handy and just a beautiful tote!

[@shannonrodriguez8165]

Love your reasoning on this purchase! I’ve always been on the fence about the neverfull for the same reasons as you. I have the totally mm from years ago that still looks great and it zips closed but a tote is just so convenient.

[@chelseagaray]

You know, this is why making videos about handbags is so helpful because we all have our reasons as to why we would or wouldn't purchase a bag or our opinions on the handbag after purchase differ. Also, even after owning a bag our opinions change and all can be helpful to someone else.

[@krasnershurwoodedmond4922]

I think you can try it boldly, because I have a lot here, if you need it, you can contact me.

[@RoxxyVega]

Lol at you can feel the little kid hands trying to grab your phone while you’re distracted 😂😂 love this bag. So pretty and classic

[@chelseagaray]

That is such a true statement for me!!! My son is always trying to reach for my phone when I am not looking :) LOL

[@elizabethromero8630]

Sorry but I couldn’t resist on looking at your background more of on the bag I loved your bedroom :)

[@stewart335]

I was completely the same about you regarding the fact everyone and their dad's mistress has it! Then I finally bought the GM for university I realised why: IT'S. SO. PRACTICAL. It carries everything, and looks good doing it. I've since got the MM in DE like yourself! By the way - damier means checkerboard, ebene means ebony (ebony brown).

[@chelseagaray]

Great minds! It truly is just a practical bag and you said it best "and looks good doing it."

[@mamabear84147]

has the red interior rubbed onto the damier azur pouchette?

[@chelseagaray]

No it has not.

[@ginamorris4520]

I had the same thought process 😂! I don't want to get the Neverfull because it's so saturated( mostly fakes I see though now that I know🤔), but you are right,they are popular for a good reason and they are still in! Other brands copied the 'basic tote bag' but it's hard to beat the Neverfull. I haven't seen anybody cinch it but I am planning to. With the pouch that I already used as a clutch, it's like a 3 bag in 1! The canvas is so light and what I learned from all the MKs,Coaches,Brahmin,Dooney&Burke that I had, the leather could get real heavy and I end up not reaching for it😪. I just had my LV's 2 months ago and I have the LV canvas fever! They are so light and practical. I thought I would go for leather after this but with my budget and everything I am very happy with my basic, classic Neverfull,Speedy and Alma and some canvas SLG's. New subbie here, I'm also a military wife here in Germany and the euro price/no tax deal helped me build a small collection. You're right luxury is a choice, I was a snob before too but when I calculated everything, I spend as much to trendy bags I end up giving away, selling or I didn't reach for whatever reasons.

[@chelseagaray]

Very good points you brought up here and I agree with many. I too would like to have a leather bag someday but the weight is something to consider, especially if you carry a lot of items. Welcome to my channel! I am so glad you have joined us. I have a variety of content here as well as more luxury handbag videos. That is awesome that the euro price/no tax has given you that opportunity. I totally would have jumped on that too!

[@TraditionsByTheSeasons]

I love your new handbag, so cute! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ It’s the perfect size, too! 👍

[@chelseagaray]

It really has been a great size . I’m not usually a larger handbag gal but for upcoming trips and days out with my kids, a larger bag is gonna come in very handy. 👜 👍🏻

[@tammyroy9042]

You are looking gorgeous! Loving the hair and the top - so pretty! Now on to the bag……I love it! Especially when you cinch it! This may be the next bag I save up for lol 🙈 Thank you for sharing Chelsea:) Have a beautiful week 💕 Xo Tammy 🇨🇦

[@chelseagaray]

Thank you so much, Tammy!!! I love this bag cinched!! It is so elegant. Love the versatility of it! Have a fantastic week!!

Omg the bag in your video is so so pretty 😍

I love ur detailed review and how u just get into it without bable-ing on other things!

[@chelseagaray]

Thank you!!

[@ciaraomalley8725]

What made you choose this over the On-The-Go?

[@melissagammon8246]

Love the video! Thanks for sharing! I may have to switch to my brown checkered Daisy Rose tote now! I can't justify spending what a LV costs when I change purses as much as I do. But I love my Daisy Rose totes!

[@chelseagaray]

You are so welcome!

[@aishatai2920]

Where did you buy the scarf ?

[@michelekallus5752]

Congrats! Love it cinched in too! Adorable!

[@chelseagaray]

The cinched in look just appeals to me. It takes it into a more dressy accessory.

[@mamammu8307]

Sold! Will be buying it this month! Thanks for the video.. 👍

[@chelseagaray]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@karolinazielonka1728]

Very informative video, thank you.

[@wigexpectations8802]

I have always wanted to the neverfull mm from the LV store but girl has got bills lol , a friend at my work place introduced slaybags to me and i googled ,saw good reviews about the quality of the bags so i purchased the damier azur mm from there and omg i love it , the quality is almost like the real and it came with card and receipt as well . I am happy hopefully i can get the real deal some day .

[@amberfranklinmk93]

If I got my first Louis Vuitton I wouldn’t get a never full id get a speedy bandolier 30 or 35 because it has a zip

[@CLNSL8]

I ended up buying one just this weekend and I was a staunch advocate against purchasing one for myself as well 🙃

[@susanbaum4984]

For years I was against buying it( I am not a tote girl and I hate to carry a heavy bag). But now I am not sure. I found myself stalking the LV website a lot lately!🙂 May i know why you changed your mind and purchased one?

[@naginisweety6434]

Love the scarf.. would you mind sharing the link or info of where you bought it from please?

[@chelseagaray]

It is from Louis Vuitton.

[@lisaa8437]

Beautiful bag! Love it! 💕

[@chelseagaray]

Thank you! 🤗

[@alexandragomez8438]

Great video! I just picked mine up at the LV store this weekend and absolutely love it! Out of curiosity, did your bag have a chemical smell when u first got it? Also your bag looks like it has a sheen to it (looks beautiful). Is that how it really is or maybe just how the camera is picking it up? Mine seems more matte. Either way it’s such a beautiful bag, congrats on getting it!

[@makeupnmedicine]

I had a 6 key holder new from the store and it smelled a little chemical-y but it was gone in a day

[@chelseagaray]

Mine didn’t have a smell. Perhaps that is a new smell? Let it air out . It could be the camera and the lighting showing off a sheen. It isn’t shiny at all, definitely more matte .

[@alexandragomez8438]

@@makeupnmedicine good to know, thanks for answering!

[@LifeWithFlowers]

Beautiful bag 💼 You surprised me 🎉❤️ Very helpful video

[@chelseagaray]

I knew I would but I decided a practical bag made more sense than a “wishlist” bag that I wouldn’t use as often as I know I’m going to use this one.

[@jatl7434]

I ❤ it we share the same thoughts about the tote

[@user-yp7im1tg9l]

i love this bag too but quiet worried about it being big for me as iam 4'11. Thought pm would suit me size wise but really not a big fan of it.

[@chelseagaray]

The MM size is really a great size for a more petite woman. I am not crazy tall and find the MM to be oversize without being overkill.

[@merrywalsh2809]

I’m 5’1” and got one. My grown daughter thought it was the perfect size for me, cause I worried the same thing and asked her.

[@hillaryventura]

Love your videos of your bags. How do you store all your bags?

[@chelseagaray]

I could film a video on this!

[@hillaryventura]

Yes please! That would be a very helpful video ☺️

[@monicatapia100]

Hello girl! I just found your channel 💓 I am planning to buy this neverfull but Im afraid of stop using my speedy 30. What do you think? If I got this neverfull, I will replace my speedy? Thank you so much ❤️❤️

[@chelseagaray]

Welcome!! So happy to have you here. I have the Speedy 25 and the Neverfull and I don't find they replace each other. Each of them have their own special qualities and serve different purposes for me!

[@demeraa]

I’ve been waiting for this video! Beautiful bag. I just got my first luxury handbag and almost feel a kind of loyalty to the brand and mostly eye their products. Since you own several LV bags, do you feel the same way? Have you considered other brands for your next luxury purchase?

[@chelseagaray]

Hello! Thank you! You know, I approach all my handbags from a practical standpoint. I don’t buy them to store them or look at them or to have a collection. Each LV bag serves a purpose and at this point , I am not sure if I will add anymore because it’s dangerously close to collection stand point for me at this point . I have eyed other brands but haven’t pulled the trigger because of my lifestyle, I worry about other leather handbags from other brands not holding up well like these coated canvas bags do. I also like the color and pattern against outfits . They just seem to work with everything.

[@mandakishawi3352]

What did you get, Amelia? Just curious from another handbag lover lol 😬

[@lmahoney805]

@@chelseagaray hi Chelsea! Thank you for another great video. I feel like you and I have very similar handbag styles. I love all of your choices! I think a neverfull is next on my list but I also love the pochette Métis reverse (that you have). Do you think the PM is too similar to a speedy b25?

[@chelseagaray]

I have an entire video discussing the Pochette Metis vs. Speedy B 25. Check out my thoughts there. XOXO

[@jasminesherri32121]

Beautiful as always. Does you NF happen to have the new chip?

[@chelseagaray]

I am not even aware of such a thing!

[@krista5099]

You look so gorgeous here!!! What’s your favorite LV?

[@chelseagaray]

Thank you so much!!! Favorite? oh that is so difficult. All of mine are different shapes and serve as different functions within outfits and circumstances. Are you gonna make me choose?! LOL

[@olivianguyen2341]

Does it dig on your shoulder? Can you do an updated review please? Thanks for sharing

[@chelseagaray]

I haven't had any issues with that but I also do not carry a lot of items to make my bag heavy. That is one reason I do not own a lot of large bags: I tend to then fill them up and make it too heavy to carry!

[@Chloe-nq1hg]

Hi could you do a handbag collection video ?

[@chelseagaray]

I sure could!

[@Karmajunkie]

Wonderful review💕

[@chelseagaray]

Thank you!

[@trilove8285]

All I carry Neverfull

[@thearmstrongs]

Did you look at the PM size? I don’t carry enough stuff to warrant the MM size. That is what is holding me back from purchasing the Neverfull. Hope all is well. Jackie from Indiana

[@chelseagaray]

I have and I love the PM size however the straps are shorter than those on this MM size and it’s difficult to get over your shoulder. Therefore that Neverfull in the PM size becomes more of a handheld handbag and not shoulder bag.

[@ainzaki2291]

Good review. Still thinking to buy it or not

[@chelseagaray]

Well so far I am totally happy with my purchase.

[@thomasspencer2925]

Are they still selling these in stores? They are out of stock online

[@chelseagaray]

yes!

[@aldrinaldea6418]

Wish list…..

[@etyyuniarti]

Do you consider alma bb?

[@chelseagaray]

I do have my eye on the Alma BB but for my current needs, that handbag was much too small.

[@NikoliMindiashvili]

The fact these bags can be faked and sold at a fraction of the price just shows how much the luxury brands are ripping people off. Yes quality and materials might not be the same but some dupes are pretty good. I’ve wasted so much money on designer bags and, as a 50 year old, could have bought another house or many HIDUPZ with what I’ve spent. My advice is to only buy if you can afford it plus other important things and don’t necessarily turn your nose up at a dupe!

[@ot7stan207]

maam how tall are u? im only 5 ft n i feel ilke the MM is a better size but it may swallow me

I am 5'4" tall.

[@Oceangirl1234]

But it is an awful travel tote...Longchamp is best for travel. I have both and Longchamp is safer, easier to carry etc. Don’t get me wrong...great tote. But the travel idea is just not a great one for me.

[@chelseagaray]

I have a Longchamp but I wanted something a bit larger and with a little more style.
