Ralph Lauren Ricky Review | Is this better than the Birkin?!

[@CalebSnell]

What are your thoughts on the Ricky? Is this a bag you’re interested in adding to your collection?

[@IrinaVanRonkel]

I already have one and I absolutely love it. I like Mr. Ralph Lauren’s concept and vision, his collections and shows. Such an inspiration.

[@stephaniekeyes2928]

Omg🎉🎉I’m a Ricky aficionado!!!! Is there a good online platform for buying and selling? I have one that’s two large and would love to sell so I can buy a different one 🙋🏻💕

[@CalebSnell]

@@stephaniekeyes2928 that’s a great question! Which Ricky do you have that you’d like to sell?

[@stephaniekeyes2928]

⁠​​⁠a gorgeous caramel one size 44 I believe- sadly too heavy😢. I also have a unique RL pony hair tote that might be of intere st. It’s hard wearing it here in Florida lol.

[@PiperSevern]

Thrilled you made this video! I’m a Ricky addict! I have 7 in all different Leather,suede,pony hair,cotton 6 in 33 and one black in 40.. I also have a Ricky white bucket. I sold the black as the gold was too loud I found. It’s an underrated bag which deserves more ❤️ love! Thanks Caleb!

[@CalebSnell]

I absolutely love the Ricky- I could see myself adding a couple more to my collection.

[@TheTravisAustin]

I usually only wear bright color bags, but there’s something so delicious about this style and shade of brown. It suits you so well! Glad you’re loving it 🥰 Inspired me to break out some of my brown bags before winter is over

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you, Travis! And you definitely should break the brown bags out!

[@Nablaboy]

Thank you for introducing me to their handbags! Such a beautiful piece.

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you! I love my Ricky!

[@monarch6443]

Great review, great video! You've introduced me to the Ricky bag. I will always be a Birkin girl but I'll check out the Ricky next time I'm in store. Thanks Caleb!

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you, Monarch! I definitely recommend popping by RL and checking it out!

[@Brian.lungwarrior]

Love this bag! You’ve got me thinking, “do I need a Ricky?” Also, great into music!! 🤎🤎🤎🤎

[@CalebSnell]

I definitely think you need one!

[@krisabbott6784]

Caleb. I am glad you love the Ricky. You made me decide to break mine out to carry for a while. No I don’t like the strap . Excellent video. I never knew about the stitching.

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you, Kris! I'm glad I'm not alone in not liking the strap lol!

[@Rashmibhattachan]

I have the exact same bag in a rusty brown vachetta leather and i simply love it!!

[@CalebSnell]

I bet that leather is amazing!! I'd love to add another one to my collection.

[@Smilingcats_couture]

Thank you reviewing this handbag 😊 I want one in black if they come in black. I love the look and details. ❤

[@CalebSnell]

The black is so classic!

[@joshyboy1974]

I've seen one on eBay that's canvas and leather that I like. I'm really thinking about it. Great video as always

[@CalebSnell]

I think you'd really like it! They're such great bags!

[@DawnDonuts]

I loved this review! You did an amazing job and I personally thank you since I’m on the hunt for my perfect Ricky. 👍👍👍👍

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you, Dawn! I can't wait to see what Ricky you end up getting!

[@EdBraun137]

Great video Caleb ❤ both of those bags are so gorgeous ❤

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you, Ed!

[@birkinboy3976]

Hi Caleb first off I want to say you're looking fabulous and I'm so happy that you're loving the Ricky I knew you would its a fantastic bag.💚💚💚💚

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you so much!! It really is! I can't wait to add the original Ricky to my collection too!

[@comfynlux5695]

I agree with your comparison as I have both bags as well. Totally agree the Ricky is more country high end if that makes sense. I also love both as they are so different. Although I have to say for me the Ricky is WAY easier to get in and out of.

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you! And Ricky description totally makes sense! Yeah, both bags are so unique, I love it!

[@JoleeLovesIt]

thank you! I was curious about this bag

[@CalebSnell]

You're welcome, Jolee! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@dcjimr1]

Love it! Thanks for the in-depth review.

[@CalebSnell]

My pleasure! I'm glad it was helpful!

[@jerseyjulia]

I'm not really in the market for a bag like this but I still clicked immediately to hear your review. 😁

[@CalebSnell]

Aw, thank you, Julia! I appreciate it!

[@Davids_Closet]

Great review! I love how similar the bags are and the more affordable price point!

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you, David! It's a really great option!

[@maryannbecker9666]

I love your review and comparisons, that 18 inch is the cutest perfect for me at 5ft. tall.

[@CalebSnell]

Isn't it cute?! And I love that it can be worn with the strap, handle or even as a clutch. So cute!

[@kaylheecarroll3186]

Great review and beautiful bags ❤😊!

Happy Monday! Nice 💼 bag!

[@CalebSnell]

Happy Monday, Val! I hope your week is off to a great start!

[@jamesjamm]

You are just fantastic at reviews!!! I don't know how interested in a Ricky...but you sure are a great salesperson for it. :-) I appreciated your honesty as well. Thank you. :-)

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you so much, Jame! This was such a fun review to do!

[@DeeDee_Bean]

Hi 👋 Calleb, great review I would love 💕 this bag in a small size do they come in a small size? And ugh crossbody’s that you have too use crosscross drive me crazy. I only use them when extremely fatigued so they are a must to be there but I totally am with you on that. TFS 🛍️🚢👛🦆🙏

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you, Dee Dee! They do! They make an 18cm, and there was a mini Ricky that was super cute!

[@DeeDee_Bean]

@@CalebSnell ooooo I’m on the hunt thanks ☺️ 🤦‍♀️

[@jpuz]

I loveeee it! Such a beautiful bag.

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you! It really is!

[@kristinavogel7551]

Can you flare out the side gussets to make the bag larger?

[@CalebSnell]

Yes, absolutely!

[@ZaneAnderson1]

It surprised me how much you love this bag 🤎😄 but I have to admit it’s a great bag!

[@CalebSnell]

Haha, it really is!

[@am143-g1m]

Beautiful bag!

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you, Edgar!

[@AllinOne-l5x]

Thanks for the info, there really isn’t much out there do you know the difference between the soft or light ricky I’m on rl website and I seem to be missing something? I want one but need more info please help thanks kindly

[@CalebSnell]

Great question! So the original Ricky was quite heavy, so they introduced the Soft Ricky. The Soft Ricky is much lighter, but features an interior lining and a moderate structure. The Light Ricky is even lighter, and is unlined and has less structure than Soft or Original. I hope this helps!

[@miradonfbd]

I really love the Ricky. I’m a horse gal from way back, and I love that vibe.

[@CalebSnell]

Yes! The equestrian vibes are strong!

[@lavishmedarling8249]

Thank you so much. I just went into a panic because I locked my Ricky and didn’t know how to push down the button!!!!🎉

[@CalebSnell]

You're welcome! Glad I could help!

[@dragamboazulinqiacupuntura122]

I sometimes feel, dont cancel me people, that i actually like the look of the ysl sac du jour, specially bright colours and moc croc. Sometimes i prefer it over a birkin. I like the sizes and the shoulder strap... I'm not surprised other bags could be better than a Birkin. Craftmanship aside

[@CalebSnell]

The Sac du Jour is a vibe! I love it in electric blue!

[@luxpetite]

Hi Caleb! This bag is so you! I love your review. The purple lining is 🔥! This is one of my favorite bags in your collection. You need to take this to the RL restaurant 🤎😘

[@CalebSnell]

Hi Jamie! Thank you! I'm absolutely loving this bag! And you're right- a whole visit to the RL Mothership is in order!

[@lonnie-rs8km]

Another 🔥 episode

[@CalebSnell]

Thanks, Lonnie!

[@dva5610]

So many good ones on Vestiaire!

[@CalebSnell]

Right!?

[@Stellaperez658]

It's a good looking bag!!

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you, Estrella! I love this bag!

[@pepercat17]

I have my burgundy Ricky 33 but I don’t use it. It doesn’t retain its shape due to the leather not having any structure. It got saggy and I hate that. Love the leather and love the silhouette of the bag but I don’t like the slouchy look. I’m currently rocking my Dooney nano satchel. Goes to show you, it’s not about the brand or the cost. It’s about the look

[@CalebSnell]

I'm sorry to hear that! Do you stuff it when you store it? I'm just curious because mine is 10 years old without much of a sagging issue. I understand, I hate sagging.

[@Restless318]

you and bag are beauiful I really want a coach rouge 39 keep saying I will have one but miss out so if they one I just buy it at full price love ricky bag

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you, Hamid! And you'll get your Rogue! I hope you're having a great week!

[@agentbagreviews]

This caramel color is Devine.

[@CalebSnell]

I love it! It goes with so much!

[@andreamastrangelo1065]

Both look so beautiful. But, getting either of them opened looks like a big pain in the a$$. I could never understand why the Birkin is so expensive and so highly desired. It would drive me nuts trying to get it opened. I’m willing to spend $$ on a bag but it has to be functional for daily use. As always, great video, love the side by side compare. 👍

[@CalebSnell]

I enjoy carrying my Ricky closed, but it can be kept open for easier use! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@GiveMeTheLook]

Yaaassssssss!!!!

[@CalebSnell]

Yasss!!!

[@gailsawyer279]

I can't open my ricky bag the lock is stuck

[@CalebSnell]

Oh no! Have you made sure it isn't locked?

[@susanlane5208]

What size is this

[@CalebSnell]

This is the 33cm- the large version.

[@jeanettenfreeland1408]

I love your Birkin Caleb

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you, Jeanette!

[@lisatakeitorleaveit]

She’s a beauty!

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you, Lisa!

[@MCC0599]

How can you tell if your ralph lauren bag is authentic?

[@CalebSnell]

I would recommend really studying them so you can compare a bag to a confirmed authentic example!

[@mbelieve9919]

Bonded leather lining?! I’m surprised with this price point.

[@CalebSnell]

Yeah, I was really disappointed by that fact.

[@harmonyrecordsinc1]

❤❤❤

[@CalebSnell]

💕

[@ginkat1318]

It's very attractive.

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you!

[@cargoimpexp8921]

Is anyone else having the issues with the lock and opening it up? It's a pain in the azz

[@CalebSnell]

Ugh! Have you check to make sure it isn't locked?

[@FarolynDemars-zu7pc]

I know it’s real if it’s secondhand

[@CalebSnell]

It's always important to authenticate your preowned items

[@mkphilly]

Nice review, but too much going on on thr front....

[@CalebSnell]

Thank you!

[@zenrazor659]

I love this bag but it's for women 😂. Don't you know?😮

[@CalebSnell]

Not necessarily- a bag is a vessel to carry things in- everyone needs to carry stuff, therefore- it's for everyone- don't you know? 🤣

[@missshananicole]

It’s a sharp looking bag. Very classic silhouette. 🤎

[@CalebSnell]

It's such a great bag!
