Do not apologize for what you have purchased. You clearly have an appreciation for the vintage items, be it Hermes, Chanel or others. You have worked hard to get to where you are in life. Be proud of yourself and your accomplishments. This is applicable to all women. Do not apologize for your success. Men certainly don't apologize and neither should any of you lovely ladies. Enjoy the bag. I love your channel.

If not for Karen sharing these high end delights, I would never know about them. I see these items as works of art, hence the price for a piece of original art. One could argue against the high price of a van Gough as nothing more than oil paints on fabric. I love learning about the art works created by fashion artists. I may never buy an expensive bag or a van Gough painting, but I can definitely admire their beauty and workmanship. What makes this so exciting is I get to share in the joy of owning a piece of art. Thank you Karen for letting me be a part of your artistic passion. The bag is exquisite and you are going to love pairing it with many of your beautiful outfits.

Ya know Karen, here’s the thing. I think what makes people have adverse reactions to the luxury unboxing is more about the person than the items. You have such a sweet spirit and are so relatable that people are genuinely happy for you. People like Simply Shawna (sp?) and Brittany (Pockets and Bows) and a few others are kind, sweet individuals. There’s a whole lot of pretentiousness going on here on KZbin and I think that’s what turns people off. I’m always excited to see what you get because you are an all around cool, down to earth type of woman! You’re a girls, girl…like a best friend and people relate to your likable personality!
