Thanks for visiting my channel! Let me know what other topics you're interested in, I'd love to be a resource for you in all things luxury! ♥

I really appreciate that you give the explicit retail price for your items (at time of purchase.) So many luxury youtubers play coy about the dollar amount, but this is a $$$ hobby, and I'd do well to remind myself of that fact by watching more creators like you 😀

[@luxuryinModeration]

I’m glad I can be helpful! Yes these dollar amounts are something else!

I hear you on the pops of color. My first Kelly 28 was in blue jeans. I love it because to me it was something that was not black or practical. My second Kelly is in noir.😊

[@yvankavela]

That insight about the high prices of these bags start to eventually seem normal until you spend your money was very striking!

[@luxuryinModeration]

Totally! O.o

[@10secondsofmylife]

i feel the same as you: i just got a Picotin 22 today… in BLACK of all colors 🤦‍♀️ like srsly i also thought i was more interesting 😂 Picotins for me are meant to be a pop of color, and look at me now. oh well, i hope i’ll use it more than my orange one! love this video and your insights. i just found your channel! will be an OG once you hit 100k subs, which i’m surre you will 💜

[@luxuryinModeration]

Black picotin sounds like a great wardrobe staple 😉

[@everydayluxury]

Thank you for sharing your learnings with us! This is so helpful and really appreciate your honesty! I agree with you on more colour or more fun in our collections! I just realised most of my bags are just black… and I felt the same, I just want something more colourful and fun!! ❤

[@luxuryinModeration]

Yay, so glad this is helpful. Excited for you to add more color too!

[@BeautyLuxeLover]

I feel like I’m in a similar place with my collection. Bring in the color! 🎉 Great video!❤

[@luxuryinModeration]

Aw, thanks! Excited for you to bring in more color too! 🤭

[@SnachezParajon]

I bought my *esluxy* in Milan LV boutique store this year in February

[@cocosmom1000]

Love your neutral collection. I’m the opposite and have too many colors and want more neutral.

[@luxuryinModeration]

😂 i believe in you!

[@blairblairinmelbourne6827]

Like your sharing ❤ true！better hold off 3 months and see if you still likes it,and a reasonable price for you. Most importantly different colour and style. I started my hand bag journey few years ago, sold many and I realised I like colour especially pink😅then I sold them just keep one pink. Try to add more neutral form last year.

[@luxuryinModeration]

thank you for sharing! hope you get the bags you want!

[@israeli_flava]

Love your collection... how do you like the mini Lindy????? I'd love your opinion on that bag!

[@luxuryinModeration]

It fits really well into my casual lifestyle. It can fit my essentials easily tho I have to angle my phone to get it in right. The opening and closing ad be a bit fiddley if I feel like doing the whole thing up, but it’s my most used bag so far this year

[@premeyumlife443]

U have a great collection my lady. 🙏🏼❤️😘😘😘Sandy

[@luxuryinModeration]

Thank you!

[@alfonsca]

Was there any particular reason why you didn’t return the Kelly d clutch? Would love to hear about your thoughts on that. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@pasnaip6381]

I suspect she wants to appear as a desirable customer at Hermes so maybe in future they could allow her to buy other quota bags.

[@luxuryinModeration]

I bought it while I was traveling to NYC. I didn’t have time to return it before I left and I felt a bit weird returning it to my home store. I also got caught up in how elegant it made me feel and thought I could “become the type of woman” who flawlessly grabs a clutch. I have thought about selling it but I still have hope that it will add enough value in my life. Each time I carry it, I do feel like it elevates the look. Hopefully that will continued for a long time 😅

[@altynayn]

I think you can buy a diy shoulder strap for the kelly depeches!

[@altynayn]

Quick question - is the lady dior a worth it classic for you? I love it, but it just doesn't seem practical in my life...

[@luxuryinModeration]

I did! It’s hanging in the background 😅it helps a little

[@luxuryinModeration]

@@altynayn I had all 3 sizes of the lady dior and sold all 3. It wasn’t practice for me because I like to get in and out of my bags quickly. The lady dior was a bit too fussy for me

[@kimvilleneuve2543]

How often do you use your Chanel bag?

[@luxuryinModeration]

Not that much..like once every 3 months? I think it has to do with how “fancy” it looks. My day-to-day activities and the people I’m with are much more low key. If I still lived in nyc, I would feel more comfortable taking it out more
