NEW LUG!! Feat. Mini Review of Luxe Matte Vegan Leather Jitterbug & More!!

[@kihohn392]

Great video. The same thing happened with the same Metro XL you have. Thanks for explaining about the zipper, now I know why it looked worn so quickly.

[@amberthatgirl2001]

Thank you so much! 🥰 I hate to hear that yours ended up looking worn really quickly. 🫤 I have no idea why they made them like that, but maybe they'll update them in the future with a better design. Thank you so much for watching, and I hope you have a great weekend! 😊

I use a Metro XL in magenta as my wallet and I love it so much! It is so easy to find in my larger bags and holds everything that I need it to. (I really wish that they would do the Metro XL and the Ranger in the matte luxe fabrication.)

I’m also waiting for my orders. I was getting worried because many items sold out, but they finally shipped this week. It is frustrating!!! Yes, the peekaboo originally came with a wristlet strap, and then they released it as a crossbody. The Jitterbug is my current favorite Lug bag. I have the one in matte luxe pearl and love it. The olive color is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your haul and have a great day.

[@amberthatgirl2001]

My last orders finally shipped out yesterday, thank goodness. I'm glad yours shipped out, as well! 😊 It is frustrating when it takes so long and then you see those items aren't available anymore and you wonder if you'll even get yours. I really enjoy Lug as a brand so I just keep hoping they'll get it together sooner rather then later. 🤞 Ok, thank you for the confirmation on the peekaboo. I thought I was going crazy for a minute there. 😅 The Jitterbug is absolutely fantastic, so I totally agree with you! I think I have 4 of them now... and I may just get another. 😅 Thank you so much for watching and I hope you're having a great start to your week! 💜

I am also waiting for my order. Hopefully it will be here today. I ordered 5 metro xls and 5 packs of pens. I have the jitterbug in resort black and bright floral. I bought the blitz wallet to try out the matte luxe fabrication. The reason there is 2 different peekaboo pouches on qvc is because a year ago they had a big deal and it was the switch crossbody bag. It came with the peekaboo pouch. The reason that pouch only comes with the wristlet strap is because you could use the strap from the crossbody purse with it. They didn't sell very well so qvc separated them into 2 different items to be purchased separately. I purchased 2 of the switch peekaboo crossbody bags. I haven't used them yet. I am tempted to get the new pouches because I like the patterns better than the other ones. I enjoy your videos and look forward to the next one.

[@amberthatgirl2001]

Oh ok, that makes sense about the peekaboo and the 2 different versions I was seeing. Thank you for that info. 😊 I don't have any of the switch's, so I wasn't familiar with that deal they'd put together. I'm a huge fan of the Metro XLs and the pens! By the time I saw the pens they'd mostly sold out so I only grabbed the one pack, but I'm sure I'll get more in the future. They're really nice. I'd be interested to hear what you think of the Blitz. I didn't get one bc I wasn't sure if I'd use it or not, but you might push me over the edge to try it if you end up really liking it. 🙂 Thank you so much for watching and I hope you're having a great start to your week! 💜

Hi Amber, I am so sorry you aren't feeling well. I hope you feel much better soon. It was a another great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@amberthatgirl2001]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that. 💜 I hope you're having a great start to your week and thank you so much for watching!

[@LakeTahoeGem]

Thanks for another great Review Video.💟 I just love my new Jitterbug Matte Luxe. I have the same color.I moved into that Jitterbug last night. I poked both sides of the top handle outward, and it is straightening out a bit, and standing up. I like the handles that stand up on my other Jitterbugs, and the standing handles do not get in the way and looks so cute. The Ocean Blue in your video is like the tru color. Hope you feel better.

[@amberthatgirl2001]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that. 💙 I'm glad to hear that the handles on your ML Jitterbug are straightening out some. I don't mind if the handles on mine stand up or lay down, I think it looks great either way bc it's just such a cute bag overall. 😊 I noticed when I was editing the video that the Ocean Blue did look true to color. But for some reason when I was recording it was showing up lighter to me.. idk, technology is over my head sometimes. 😅🤷‍♀️ Thank you so much for watching and I hope you're having a fantastic start to your week! 💜 😊

Hello! I have been loving all of your temu videos and your adorable new hair cut! I did have a question about the lug metallic fabric. I got a jitterbug in the metallic watermelon and after carrying it for less than a week the color started rubbing off on all of the edges and the strap. The strap also got cracks all over it. I contacted lug and they took care of it but I was wondering if you or anyone has had this issue with the metallic fabrication. I saw that you have something in the silver. Just curious if that was a regular thing or if I got a dud. That fabrication is so pretty so it made me sad when it didn't hold up. Anyway thank you for all of your fun videos!

[@amberthatgirl2001]

Oh no! I hate to hear that your bag started doing that. ☹️ I do have a couple of bags in the metallics, but to be totally honest with you, I haven't used mine enough yet to really see any wear on them. I have heard other people mention the same issues, though, unfortunately. ☹️ I don't think it always happens. But, from what I've gathered, it does seem like they need to address it because it's happening enough that people have really been talking about it. I just can't say I've personally had it happen because I have so many bags that I generally change them out daily. So my metallic bags have only been properly used for a few hours each, ya know what I mean? Hopefully your new bag (if you got a replacement) won't have those issues! I send you all the good luck the handbag gods have to offer. 😅💜

[@marybethchristian309]

I like the looks of the metro xl may have to get one. Hope you all feel better soon.

[@amberthatgirl2001]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that. 💙 We are finally coming out of it, I think. Lol The Metro XLs are fantastic, in my opinion. If you get one you'll have to let me know what you think of it! 😊

[@michelemacisaac9185]

I have one peekaboo with a crossbody strap… the others don’t. I’m wondering - when it was released with the switch as a deal on qvc it didn’t need the crossbody. Then it was sold on its own. Little later it was released in new colours I got it in sea life blue it included the crossbody 🤷🏻‍♀️. I could be totally wrong lol

[@amberthatgirl2001]

No I think you're totally right. That's what a couple of other people said, too. That it originally came as a deal with the switch on QVC, so you could use the crossbody strap off the bag with the peekaboo, too. So it didn't need its own strap. But then they re-released it on its own and it did come with its own crossbody strap.

[@PSAPublicShoppingAddict]

Great video! Ugh that Metro XL zipper issue, so unthought of. Waiting on two so lets see. I just got the jive this week in slate blue. It is a cutie. :)

[@amberthatgirl2001]

Thank you!! 💜😊 I know right?! Why in the world did they stick that zipper down in the fabric like that?! 🤦‍♀️ I hope I'm wrong and that it ends up being a non-issue, but idk. I still love the metro xl's, but I just don't understand why they made that choice. 🤷‍♀️ I'm so glad you like your jive, too! I really like mine, too, but I find the outside zipper pockets frustrating. The way those zippers almost face inward (if that makes sense) make them a more difficult to access/use sometimes. For me anyway. Still a cute bag and of course I still use it. 😅

[@carnabyy2312]

I got my Metro XLs and Pens, but not my Mermaid items. They were way off the mark declaring LugLive shipping is caught up. I hadn’t noticed that on the Metro XL, but had to immediately go check all of mine. My Sunset Orange one is bad, it already looks like it’s wearing thin. That’s annoying because I just have extra cards in that one and don’t even take it out of my purse every day. On 2 others the zipper is much shorter so doesn’t seem like it will be as much of an issue, but 2 others are like the Sunset orange. I compared it to Vera Bradley Zip IDs and Vera just cuts it, but not down into the fabric. The Vera ones end right at the top stitching. Lug needs to fix that on future production of that item.

[@amberthatgirl2001]

I was thinking the exact same thing... Live shipping is caught up now, riiiight. 🙄 I still don't have all my stuff from pumpkin week. And another cuddle throw I ordered way back at the beginning of August (from QVC) hasn't ever shipped out either. It's just ridiculous now. I'm done with Luglive for a while. Maybe I'll try it again next year, but I'm over it for now. Yeah, I noticed my Metro XLs had various degrees of excess zipper, too. Some are definitely worse than others, but they all have the zipper shoved down in the material. I cannot understand why they did that?! It seems like common sense to me that you wouldn't want anything "sharp" down in the fabric bc it'll just cause a hole (or worn spot) eventually. 🤦‍♀️ In my honest opinion it seems like a lazy choice to save time and money. Like, "hey, don't worry about finishing the end of the zippers properly. Just shove the excess down in the side and sew over it, it'll be fiiiiine, no worries". 😒 Obviously I can't say that's the real reason they made that decision, but it was the first thing that crossed my mind. Nothing to do about it now except wait and see what happens. Anywho, enough griping from me lol. I hope you're having a great week so far!! 💙😊

[@carnabyy2312]

@@amberthatgirl2001 I’m done with LugLive too. At least until next year, maybe forever. I had the exact same thought on the zippers, it was either the lazy way out to save time and/or money.

[@Mitzi73]

Great review!

[@amberthatgirl2001]

Thank you so much! 😊💙

[@GratefullyBlessedInMyMess]

I’m still waiting on a few things I got as well. You got a lot of great items💜

[@amberthatgirl2001]

Thank you so much! I hope your items arrive sooner rather than later. I'm still waiting on a cuddle throw I ordered back in August. So frustrating. 🤦‍♀️

[@melissaandrews1603]

I love the Metro xl, I have 2. I have not yet noticed the buried zipper extension. Thank you for bringing that to our attention. I’ll be on the lookout for that. The Carousel xl is just a great anytime bag. I have it in Butterfly Grey. And, I have not gotten a Jitterbug, yet, Vegan leather or original fabrication. But, you made it interesting. We’ll see. Thank you for another great video.

[@amberthatgirl2001]

I hadn't noticed the buried part of the zipper either until I really started examining that corner. I just kept feeling something there and could not figure out what it was. When I finally did I had a moment of, "huh.. why did they do that?!". I'm concerned that it may puncture the fabric over time, but I hope not bc I really like these Metro XLs. It's what I've used as my wallet since I got my first one. I totally agree, the carousel xl is a great any time bag! Great size, not too big, not too small. Perfect organization, not too much but not lacking. It's a goldilocks bag. 😊 And you know I love butterfly gray! 🦋 I really do like all my jitterbugs. I think they're so cute, but they hold more than you'd think they would. Don't get me wrong, they're definitely a small bag, but I was surprised with what I fit in them. My only complaint is the 1.5 in. strap, but if you like that size and can make use out of smaller bags then you might like it. 😊 If you decide to buy one you'll have to let me know what you think of it! 😊
