Things I Bought in 2024: SOME REAL JUNK HERE.

[@kimberlyclever5049]

I don’t mind the sponsorships, I trust you and like your recommendations.

[@elainew9267]

Your Murakami purse is in bettter condition than the one Luxury Promise. You bought the nicer bag, it was worth the extra money.

[@vivianpham5606]

YESSS! The luxury promise one has patina much more and thus looks older

[@VegaChastain]

Yes, everyone was saying this on the other video too, hope you see this Soph!! ❤ @Sophie Shohet | Fashion Beauty Lifestyle

[@skyl3648]

Hi Sophie I bought exactly the same bag second hand from a local reseller and I love it so much. You definitely got the better bag compared to LP. Enjoy it!

[@LauraCampbell-j4i]

I’m still confused how you think you got conned for the multicolour bag….better condition = higher price point 🙃

[@INH-x4c]

I don’t know if you just misspoke, but don’t put your nonstick in the dishwasher! They will last much longer if you just hand wash. I’m in favor of spending more on a good nonstick, but they’re never going to last forever. You do need to replace them when the coating starts to flake. Handwashing will mean that you can keep the pan alive a bit longer.

[@springgreenzone]

Everything on the kitchen should come from "legacy" brands. It means they've been around for so long, even your mother and grandmother will remember the brand. They're not always super expensive either. The bag from Japan, it's true it's frustrating to spend more than you could have spent, but if you like the bag you should use it and that feeling will subside. Take the tags off and use it, if you really like it, then this shouldn't be such a big deal. Life is too short for that kind of thought. Happy holidays.

[@ceciliabrown3301]

It looks like the enamel on the ring wasn't dried properly or it was enameled while the surface was either wet or greasy at some point. I used to work as a jewellery enameller.

[@sidoniesera]

I feel like there was another video a few years back where Sophie was super geeked out about a pan, an egg maker, or something. Gave me one of the best giggles I had all year (which was much needed). Nothing like a good pan. Thank you for your Christmas day video. I watch and rewatch them every year. So generous of you and David to film and share that special day with us.... And yes. I will be buying that pan. Happy New Year, and much love to you, David and all your fabulous viewers. Cheers!

[@SophieShohetOfficial]

@@sidoniesera The egg poacher pan! Absolute genius!👌xx

[@literallyheather]

Just FYI, around minute 7, you are talking about the pan but showing video of jewelry. Love your sweater...really pretty with the hot pink! 💗

[@melriddell]

I will definitely take note of your frying pan recommendation!! I am desperate for a non-stick pan that is actually non-stick longer than the first few uses! I can understand your joy at finding a good one! Love that Gucci xx

[@danndeelion]

For the ring missing the enamel, get some high gloss nail polish & match the color, you wont even notice its chipped!

[@sunitad592]

totally, build up many thin layers, very easy fix

[@sandraankenbrand]

Just send it to the manufacturer - its their job

[@elyse3884]

I would go back to the store and see if they can fix it. Don’t be embarrassed if it’s a few months. Let us know how you did. 😊

[@parisbear6062]

I now always look for the studs on the bottom of a bag as then I know it is protected when placed on the ground. Unfortunately this is often not the case.

[@danieljones5217]

Buy All-Clad pans and don’t put them in the dishwasher. Their nonstick surface is excellent, and you can easily wash them quickly in the sink. Putting any nonstick pan in the dishwasher can damage them.

[@decemberclouds]

All Clad is really hard to find in the UK - it has to be imported from the US so it's much more expensive.

[@indoora]

You can take the Coach bag to a leathersmith and they can dye match the bag. Sadly you would have to pay for something Coach should fix.

[@worldlit1146]

Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year, and Happy Holidays, dear Sophie. Just love your honesty and your mix of luxury/everyday goods.

[@AdrienneMint]

I think i can speak for a lot of us - we don’t mind you having a sponsorship because we want you to stay on KZbin! 🩵🩵🩵

[@TaylorWilliamsnaturalisttaylor]

Agree

[@alicja6260]

Fully agree ❤️

[@heidiheidi0]

Agree. She spends a lot on these videos and it’s an expense!

[@patkuykendall-weeks2617]

100% agree!

[@angiemasimore]

Love the Hello Kitty nails !!! And think you may be right about the pans. I was just asking ppl about whether certain ones were worth the money and it just may be!! Actually, after buying a few I ended up tossing, I could've already bought something better. Lesson learned.

[@Herrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr]

The Gucci bag is cute, but nothing will ever top your Chanel oil slick bag! I still can't believe you sold it 😢

[@ganzing8187]

Hi from 🇨🇦 The LV you bought in Japan will have a come back in 2025 in 3 waves according to luxury news. Thought I’d mention it in hope to lessen your disappointment when you got it. Happy Late Christmas and hope you have an awesome New Year 🫶

[@marthas3026]

Love this! Especially as I have been watching a few people planning for 'low buy' years etc. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year :)

[@lynnebarnett4067]

Coach needs to step up and make this right for you. I too have a collection of high and mid range bags. Of which several are Coach. But this makes me rethink buying more of their products if they are lacking in quality and refusing to fix their mistakes. LOVE your videos Sophie. Always look forward to watching. Happy New Year. Wishing you and David the best.

[@hollylynn32]

I ordered 3 different Coach bags this year; every one had some defect which lead me to return all of them. I have sworn off Coach bags and will no longer be purchasing any more. As for your multicolor; it is a beautiful bag in immaculate condition. With the re-release of the collection you could sell if for more that you purchased+your taxes. I think you got a good deal...wear her and enjoy!!

[@nmernst]

Hi Sophie and everyone. Hope all had a lovely holiday. Interesting about the back. I had a grey pebbled leather clutch from Coach and the same thing happened. What they offered is a complete replacement or 30% off a new/different item. Wonder if the grey they use is a problem? Thanks for sharing 😊

[@wens525]

Dear Sophie, thank you for another informative video. I think most if not all of your subscribers would understand you deal with various brands. I trust your judgement. The Gucci bag is stunning, real shame about the ring, it's so pretty. Maybe ask the shop about getting a replacement or repairs? I still think an enameled pendant or a pair of earrings will be beautiful. However, they are not as durable as diamond jewellery in real precious metal. ❤

[@Kitakita87]

I understand how that feels about that LV bag but not using it only makes it more you’re “paying” for it. Your lack of using it cost per wear is only making it worst. When that happens to me I enjoy wearing it even more and move on.

[@singingscience]

Absolutely agree. It's done, so wear the dickens out of it!

[@danndeelion]

I vividly VIVIDLY remember your video on that Gucci bag! I CANNOT believe it was JAN, that's insane!

[@nata6307]

There’s one perspective I’ve come to after living in the US for some time. All labor should be compensated (unless you really want to volunteer for something). You perform a labor creating KZbin content and you’re more than entitled to compensation for it. Obviously, if adds perpetually infringe on the quality of your content, it may hurt the viewership. But inherently, there is nothing wrong with including adds in your videos. You do work (a good one, judging by number of views) and you’re entitled to compensation for it. As simple as that.

[@EllieKravets]

I have Coach backpack and it wears great! You probably were unlucky to get a defective one. I have at least a dozen Coach bags and I've never had a bad experience with leather. The only negative thing - their gun metal hardware peels after maybe a year of wearing a bag.

[@IR-Anna]

Hi Sophie, I just LOVE you picking the pan as your best buy of the year🤣. In 2023 my best buy was hands down a compartimented garbage bin with infra red sensor to open it😝🗑️🎉. It the life fase were in. But a good pan..is worth so much, next time I’m in the UK I’ll make sure I have a check in suitcase to get that pan at John Lewis. Or could it be my personal item😝.. an emotional support frying pan

[@tammyboyd9928]

The hardware on my Coach was turning..the outlet took it, sent it back for me, no charge. The warranty was within the year. I ended up selling it, was too small. It was a pretty mint green.

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

I have one non-stick fry pan to cook eggs in. I like it for that purpose because it creates the illusion of a fried egg without so many calories or expense. Other than that, I don't use them for the reasons you have raised. I shudder to think what I must be ingesting if the non-stick surface lifts! I would be annoyed about the situation with the Coach backpack also. Odd that they would not fix it. I have been in Coach boutiques with bags in perfect condition and they have offered to spa them gratis! Thank you for the video!

[@olicnana]

Bought a blue Coach purse for my mom more than 20 years ago and the same thing happened. It wasn’t more than a couple weeks old.

[@dva5610]

Coach is overrated and their designs are cheugy

[@gkr7019]

Non stick pans are a total no no cos they are toxic when the costing is off. Cast iron pans are the way to go. Le Creuset is one of them since 1925.

[@indoora]

Non-stick has forever chemicals and when the food starts to stick the chemicals get into your system. That are a plethora of studies on this.

[@ashleigh-janemclauchlan833]

Honestly I think it must be common in that jewellery brand cause I have a pair of earrings from the brand you got the ring from and the white enamel is constantly chipping away and I barely wear them and it’s honestly such a shame cause they are adorable

[@kaylheecarroll3186]

Beautiful bags 😊💕!

[@danielmcintyre]

Happy Christmas 🎄❄️

[@ethalminiellis3032]

Personally I would take the ring back and also contact Coach CS and mention that you have put the experience that you received from them regarding the blue bag online with a link to it.!

[@sandraankenbrand]

I have my WMF Pans and Pots since 1993... and never wash by hand. Good cooking utensils last forever.

[@YourRav]

Sophie, have you watched the deep dive about Honey sponsorships? I feel like it’s something you would find really interesting.

[@Dedreea]

I was shocked by them snatching the affiliation link money! The video is definitely worth a watch.

[@buntyjoy1800]

Love the pan but isnt it risky balancing all your stuff in it when you go shopping?

[@MsEasyBeautiful]

I will say the bag is probably in better condition than the luxury promise one it does look new and you can get a new nose on it

[@amitule7843]

Hello! Love your video and videos in general:-) I bought my first and only ( don’t think I would consider the brand again…)coach bag , I have been told that it has a kind of warranty and if anything goes wrong they would repair it, I literally used it once!! Only one morning for a brunch!! The hook of the handle broke, I did contact them straight away, they confirmed that I was still under warranty, took three days to come back to me and saying they the bag was discontinued and that they can’t repair it!!😢 I was extremely disappointed and I made it clear that it wasn’t right to assure me that I would have a warranty and at the end have this ridiculous service.. they apologised and offered me a 10% voucher for any next purchase…. I obviously never bought anything from them again and don’t even use that bag…. I can’t sell it be a it’s defective..it every frustrating!!!…

[@NataliaPullen]

Thanks for sharing ❤

[@Bagellatte]

love all your bags.. i have the coach backpacks and do not have any trouble with this bag at all… sorry that it happened to yours… i love mine to bits as it’s a very handy backpack / sling😊 i hope you manage to sort out this bag woe

[@Shazza71]

The multicolour is my unicorn bag. I’d love it and use it. If you ever choose to sell it give me a shout 🙏🏼🥰

[@Funda_Yukselen]

Sainsbury’s and Tkmax do really good quality kitchen stuff

[@natlovesfashion27]

So-hie, that is not a defect on your small Coach backpack. You have rubbed it against a coarse surface while carrying it and were not aware that occurred. It’s clearly been scraped against a surface.

[@KS-zd4ew]

The bag at luxury promise might have very bad damages hence the half price vs ur tokyo buy on the LV bag

[@deedaa211]

Love the sweater

[@lindap7719]

Euww, that white spot on your Coach bag means their leather is not drum dyed so the color permeates all the way through! Coach quality is very unpredictable, so unreliable IMO. Some of their bags are outstanding, others quite poor. I have a Coach Small City Tote that has aged very badly indicating cheap, chintzy leather. Sad.😕🤗

[@Bakerygo]

In general you don't put non stick pans in the dish washer.

[@Libraandcrystals]

There’s also a Flannels store on Oxford St. in London

[@TheNham29]

How much was the pan ? I saw one online for £20 but that doesn’t seem expensive !

[@Jaiem_]

It looks like you’ve scuffed the Coach backpack against something and it’s scraped it to be honest. I’ve done the same to bags walking past things. Also, your Murakami is in great condition, that’s where the value is.

[@violingirl6647]

The rest of the Christmas gifts and Christmas day with family, please!

[@meiltoo]

I have a strawberry bracelet from the same brand as your ring. Wow it really sucks but i think they do repairs (at a fee). Its a french brand i believe, but i dont think its worth the price.

[@lavavass12]

non stick pans ruin ur hormones especially when scratched unfortunately

[@karenwilkinson5622]

I’d have been straight back with the ring as it’s again poor quality/workmanship as it’s not fit for purpose really even though it’s costume jewellery the concept of enamelling just doesn’t work on it .. X

[@elf5012]

I get the cringe on all of the bad things that happened with Coach (I feel they are a pretty dubious company now), overpaying for the used bag and the enamal ring chipping. Everything was costly and you made the best decisions you could at the time. Too many items, whether luxury or just nice items are so poorly contructed now.

[@karenwilkinson5622]

Merry Christmas to you both I’m new here .. Flannels is in Leeds regarding the Coach Back Pack that is simply poor quality the leather appears to be coated and not dyed all the way through .. X

[@sherrysimon2331]

Every you tuber talks about idyl. Is it really that good?

[@videomanic411]

The handle on the pan cannot go in the oven.

[@cherylcrawford1690]

Real enamel can last for decades.

[@kimberlyclever5049]

Ummm I don’t think nonstick go in the dishwasher

[@ShweMyaukMyauk]

Oh you are still going on with that Murakami bag. All these vlogs and TT duped people into thinking Japan is cheap. The demand and tourists are so high that it’s no longer cheap

[@katcankan7129]

I don't mean to be a kill joy but do your own research into non-stick coatings. For this reason l use glass (pyrex) or cast iron... I did watch your previous video. I love you green jacket & the miffy bag 💜

[@jillmartin8255]

Hi Sophie!!!! First!!!! Hugs xx

[@jackiebeans2689]

💕💕💕💕✨

[@arabellamagnolia3013]

That LV bag is very tacky with all those colours…definitely worst purchase 😊

[@MAGGIE-o1i]

Paint? Handbags aren't painted, LOL.
