THE REAL DAMAGE TO MY LUXURY BAGS.

[@ameliarosescloset]

Are you surprised by the damage or is it to be expected!?

[@lv_lover3393]

It’s always hard seeing the first mark or scratch but I don’t see the point of having them if they’re not going to be used ❤

[@ameliarosescloset]

exactly!

[@AnalliseFrilot]

The beautiful moment is to receive the *hotdups* I like for a long time. It is warm and sweet~

[@KolilPegios]

The variety of textures on the *hotdups* bags is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there is something for everyone.

[@BullingtonPetito]

This bag has a nice color, is very durable and is the right size. Not too small, not too big. I want to expand my selection. *hotdups*

[@vivimaria7243]

Great content! Yes, before I had a misconception that if I buy a luxury bag, it will be durable, because everyone is always saying how you pay for the quality.

[@ameliarosescloset]

They still do get damaged though

[@PrepaCastrejo]

Love this… Every summer I pull out my little black *hotdups* clutch and this summer I got new heels so this will be my summer outfit.

[@AnalliseFrilot]

This is a simple little love song, singing the gratitude in our hearts~ I am so happy today, thank you *hotdups*

[@lindathompson5099]

All my bags have love marks! Just because you love them and want to wear them 💜

[@ameliarosescloset]

thank you!

[@Buttercookiesssss]

Even a vase on display gets chips or cracks over time. Just use them with love xx

[@ameliarosescloset]

Exactly!

[@PrepaCastrejo]

Hello Autumn!! The *hotdups* bag collection has grown a lot. They are beautiful. The toys are nice too. The size is perfect for me. Congratulations on your new bag.

[@ArmstrongGalland]

Great video, My *hotdups* is my travel carry-on luggage for air travel and has been used for more than 2 years. Even when it is very heavy with laptops and spare clothes etc, the handles are not damaged. Love the idea of ​​the double sides, now see if I can turn mine inside out 😙

[@SkarPepe]

Yes, the *hotdups* bag is a beautiful color, it was a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and shoulder straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag for the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves etc…

[@sanciawest5428]

I had the same white mark on the side of a patent bag the same as the one on your pink twist bag. I read that you can rub a tiny amount of olive oil on it so I tried it and it worked instantly. Mine was bad so I didn’t mind experimenting as I didn’t think it could make it worse.

[@Rikrak1424]

Thank you for this video! I needed it 😅 I obsess over wear and tear, probably too much, and it’s good to hear from others that it’s a totally normal part of life 😄

[@joyLoveC]

Same! 😅

[@ameliarosescloset]

You're so welcome!

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Bags are meant to be worn and every mark tells a story. Beautiful!

[@ameliarosescloset]

agreed!

[@KolilPegios]

His *hotdups* handbags come in beautiful colors, are very sturdy, and are the perfect size. Not too small, not too big. I look forward to adding them to my rotation.

[@RoethNestor]

Such a great collection of vintage/second-hand bags! The vintage *hotdups* is definitely on my list too

[@DrejkaHtwe]

La sakoj ene de *hotdups* estas perfektaj kiel donacoj por amikoj. La prezo ne estas alta kaj la kvalito estas bona.

[@jillmartin8255]

I use a Fendigraphy as my everyday bag. I love it but of course the FENDI on the bottom of the bag is so scratched, I knew that would happen and am not worried by it. On the plus side because the FENDI bit acts as really good feet thereare no marks on the leather.

[@joyLoveC]

OMG Thanks for mentioning this, Jill! I was just thinking about getting a Fendigraphy but was having concerns about scratches on the FENDI bottom, but that’s a great point that it helps to protect the leather above it 😁👍🏻💕

[@ameliarosescloset]

i love that you just use it

[@KolilPegios]

His *hotdups* handbags come in beautiful colors, are very sturdy, and are the perfect size. Not too small, not too big. I look forward to adding them to my rotation.

[@DrejkaHtwe]

I know wealthy women who carry replicas *hotdups* . The main reason they gave is that they just understand the value of money and don't want to spend too much money on bags... so more people choose fashionablebags. However, they do spend a lot of money on fine jewelry and other things.

[@hhueter]

my mini sequined baguette is prone to threads getting caught on the part near the flap. So i can't really wear it with fuzzy sweaters unless i hold it by hand. Also a pen cap came off and ended up marking the satin interior. i don't necessarily expect bags to stand up to extreme damage scenarios, but i would expect them to stand up longer to daily wear.

[@ameliarosescloset]

yes certainly at the prices they should take a decent amount of daily use

[@AnalliseFrilot]

I heard that people who like *hotdups* are very good-looking~

[@RoethNestor]

I’m so glad you still have the full-sized wallet and the classic Speedy! I’m a Speedy girl too and love having a full-sized wallet in my tote. *hotdups*

[@LisaMarie634]

Thank you - such an honest video.

[@ameliarosescloset]

you're welcome!

[@ElpuchulaMalvagni]

I took my fake LV *hotdups* to the dentist and she gushed about how much she loved it and said she had one too. I said "mine is fake". She said "mine is too."

[@aprilshouseofflair]

I only keep bags that I can feel free to use. Any bags I’ve bought and felt I had to baby or had too much anxiety wearing it to enjoy it, I sold. I use my bags. I expect the wear. Those marks are stories and memories. That doesn’t mean I don’t care for my bags, I do - but I buy them to enjoy. That first scratch is the hardest though. I love that you wear your bags and don’t keep them so precious.

[@ameliarosescloset]

that's a great way to approach buying bags

[@DrejkaHtwe]

Love *hotdups* the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other KZbinr can show off bags in as much detail as you.

[@fashionandluxury101]

Great video Amelia . I store my bags in their dust bags . I try my best to be careful wearing them ; but they are meant to be used. That being said, you have a fabulous collection 😊

[@ameliarosescloset]

thank you!

[@joyLoveC]

Thanks for sharing, Amelia! Watching this video was so therapeutic. I gotta admit I baby my bags but this sort of videos helps me feel like I can chill a bit when I use my bags 😬. Have a fabulous day, dear 💖🌸🌿

[@ameliarosescloset]

Glad it was helpful!

[@PrepaCastrejo]

Thanks *hotdups* for always providing such wonderful insights! Your videos make shopping less daunting.

[@ArmstrongGalland]

*hotdups* , great price, stylish, and comfortable. I never stopped wearing my Birkin, but now all of a sudden I'm wearing it like it's a brand new Birkin! I love that it's trending again

[@SkarPepe]

I was originally thinking of getting a YSL Hobo but *hotdups* changed my mind and now I’m sure this is my next Sunset bag purchase

[@AdeleP-co2hg]

I am sure my bags have wears as well if I look at them closely. I agree with you, I buy them to enjoy using them and not keep them. It really does add to the story and beauty of each piece.

[@ameliarosescloset]

it really does!

[@Kat.Smith.]

Side note: Keen to hear your thoughts regarding the Liang Yuanwei Lady Dior. Quite literally a piece of art…

[@ameliarosescloset]

the intricate detail is out of this world

[@Kat.Smith.]

@@ameliarosescloset Yes! I only wish that the color scheme were a bit more colorful...

[@Kat.Smith.]

@@ameliarosescloset What did you think of the Vaughn Spann pieces?

[@BureauKat]

Oh I also have an LV bag (Sperone mini backpack) with bite marks. It’s on the vachette and they are from my cat. Why she decided to chew on that bag I do not know. It’s great seeing you love and enjoy your bags. While I’m not deliberately careless I do the same. The LV canvas can take a lot of love.

[@ameliarosescloset]

i love this, i have a pair of loubotuins pretty chewed from one of my dogs

[@Orion126126]

I actually fine wearing a bag in is fun. And really defines it as yours.

[@ameliarosescloset]

This so so true!

[@Jploveslv]

I hate damaging anything I own. Especially if it was a gift from someone

[@ameliarosescloset]

It’s the worst when it’s a gift

[@melocoton7]

the hardest thing to get over is that first scratch LOL I prefer pre loved for that reason. I worry much less if it's already had a life before me 😅

[@ameliarosescloset]

this is very true!

[@emchenderson717]

I think all my bags have little things and initially I’d get upset about it now I’m much more chill because I use and love my bags. The only time I get upset now is when I do something stupid that I could have avoided.

[@ameliarosescloset]

i did think that the first time i dropped the petite malle and the strap was inside it...

[@drr7027]

I mentioned on here a few weeks ago that I bought a vintage metallic champagne gold Chanel 2.55. I dropped it in the gutter and caught it with my foot!!!!!! So basically I kicked it into the gutter 🤦🏻‍♀️. It had a big scratch on the back pocket with missing gold and black scratches. I was mortified and nearly wept at my own stupidity. Then I got over it, bought some metallic gold and silver leather paints and carefully covered the black bits. It’s not perfect, but it’s got rid of the black marks and it’s on the back of the bag. I tend to wear it cross body so it will only be noticed if it’s sat on a table. What it has given me is the confidence to use it as much as possible. And of course to be a bit more careful next time! It’s currently packed in my hand luggage for a holiday.

[@ameliarosescloset]

Enjoy it! Hopefully that makes you more inclined to use the bag, it already has a beauty mark!

[@StyledByGwenny]

Watching with my eyes closed! 🙈😂

[@aprilshouseofflair]

Literally scanned all the comments to find yours 😂

[@ameliarosescloset]

lol!! I was expecting to be shouted at for a few of these!!

[@StyledByGwenny]

@@aprilshouseofflair 🤣

[@RoethNestor]

I found a bag the other day that was almost identical to the design of my dream bag, but the price blew my mind. I resonated with the *hotdups* . It taught me that beauty doesn’t have to be expensive if it fits right.

[@DrejkaHtwe]

Okay, I've always been scratching my head about *hotdups* obsession with school bags and their practicality, but this video is adorable! Congratulations

[@susimoo]

I wanted to thank you for this video. It reminded me that my bags are meant to be worn. Also that wear and tear will happen because it shows they are loved. Your honesty was refreshing. So many others say theirs are pristine and I often wonder what I am doing wrong! Thank you 💐

[@ameliarosescloset]

You are so welcome!

[@JanaeH12]

I buy preloved for the ones I actually want to wear and not baby lol

[@ameliarosescloset]

good advice!

[@antoinettereynolds4837]

Some I treasure and some I trash. It’s ok if you have a big stash 😂😂😂

[@ameliarosescloset]

lol!

[@nat-qi6ou]

Thank you for sharing. I'm on the opposite side, I'm OCD about my bags and none of my 204 bags show any wear expect for a few that have some slouching and hairline scratches on locks which is unavoidable. I condition my bags regularly, some after each wear. If I see bags start showing discoloration at corners I'd bring/send them to SPA or to my amazing Japanese cobbler to make them like new again. And if I see the bag is prone to scratches I let it go. Actually, I'm more concerned with my expensive jewelry getting scratched on chains and zippers while I reach inside the bags, but I repolish and restore those regularly as well. That's just me, it may have something to do that I'm a Virgo lol

[@ameliarosescloset]

204 bags! Wow!

[@nat-qi6ou]

@@ameliarosescloset 199 as of now, let go some. sadly at loss, but since they don't work will get get something new that does❤

[@Restless318]

love your sweater and bags

[@ameliarosescloset]

thank you!

[@lilymorejon647]

Hi Amelia! My Abba bless you. I am glad you made this video. I have an LV vintage speedy I have wanted to take in and have the leather replaced. But I seem to love how old it looks with all its flaws. What would you do? Recently, one of the leather tabs broke in half. Where the lock hangs. But I happen to love how worn it looks. Would you take it in for repairs? Or leave it worn?

[@ameliarosescloset]

If you love it, why change it?

[@league-of-shadows]

I totally expect bags I use to show signs of use. Unless it’s catastrophic I just shrug it off.

[@ameliarosescloset]

same!

[@pamelaatkinsonscats2873]

I think signs of wear demonstrate that you are enjoying your bags. To keep them pristine and unused would be a shame because it would mean you’re not getting the fun out of them.

[@ameliarosescloset]

Exactly, use and enjoy them!

[@la4828]

Why i don’t want to baby bags anymore.. no matter how careful we think we can be, one way or another those signs will show.. so why stress myself in keeping them “pristine” .. like us ladies, we will age and show the wrinkles.. bags when they show signs of wear, only shows how vintage and loved they were by being appreciated so much by us buyers. This is how I atleast see it 😉

[@ameliarosescloset]

Exactly, love this!

[@harjotkaur6352]

Love that top! Where is it from ?

[@ameliarosescloset]

thank you it is ted baker

[@USveteran83]

I would literally have a had a HEART ATTACK if i pulled my rose gold Chanel mini out and saw those marks 😭😭😭😭😭

[@ameliarosescloset]

It wasn’t my best moment!

[@ameliachristadoss1525]

Love your outfit! Where is it from?

[@ameliarosescloset]

Ted baker, devastated they are gone from the high street

[@ameliachristadoss1525]

@ oh yea! I miss their products.. they have such fun clothes

[@Wildunfiltered]

I’m not going to inspect any of mine as I suspect mine will be the same x

[@ameliarosescloset]

Just normal use x

[@deborahcurtis1385]

"It's my own fault"...yes, you committed the crime of actually using your bags and having fun! Museum standard is not reached that way. You should be able to cure the indentations with heat of an iron but be careful! You need to remove the heat immediately with a second iron that's not been heated...it will absorb the heat before the leather gets damaged. Try using cream rejuvenating cream on the corners of the bags. Get a colour match and go for it.

[@ameliarosescloset]

Oh goodness know what damage I could do with an iron!!

[@davidmar442]

You didn’t drop anything 😕

[@ameliarosescloset]

lol who even am I!!!!

[@lolipena8051]

Call me naive but i thought designer bags wouldn't get damaged. I had to learn that even though they cost more, it doesn't mean they won't get damaged or last forever; they will still be damaged, just like a $10 bag. That's the thing that hurts my soul. My petite malle when I scratched the leather my heart sunk and there is some corner wear. when it fell on the floor I'm glad the one that got the damage was the floor and not the bag lmao. the one that hurts my soul the most is my barbie pink chanel 19, there is corner wear and some color transfer.... ugh. makes me sick thinking about it.

[@ameliarosescloset]

i did too at the start

[@AnnikenAllis]

If you use a bag, it will get wear & tear. If you don't use it, what's the point in buying a designer bag? 🤷

[@ameliarosescloset]

Exactly!!

[@Lifeisaboxof]

Why not take that neverful and have someone make it into a custom bag or pouch instead. It will be uniquely yours

[@ameliarosescloset]

I definitely want to try and get it repaired first

[@miradonfbd]

This convinces me that rep bags are a good idea for use.

[@ameliarosescloset]

i can see why people buy them
