His bbkbags tote is beautifully colored, very sturdy and the perfect size. Not too small, not too big. I look forward to joining my rotation.

Thanks for sharing, I fell in love with the coated canvas herbag after watching your review. Was super informative. Was lucky to snag the same one ❤

[@abriefcaseofluxury]

Yay I'm sooo happy to hear that, enjoy!!!! 🤩

[@MorellaReeck]

The variety of textures in the kislux pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.

[@BoldmanJohniken]

My mom bought one kislux and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.

[@mrsleyva]

What an incredible review!!! Thank you for all the details. I have the Herbag on my wishlist & you have sealed the deal! 😅😅 Now its what color?? I do love your all black on, it is sooo chic & I can totally see wwhat you mean about it replacing the void of the Kelly 28

[@abriefcaseofluxury]

Thanks for watching! I'm not going to lie though, I still get tempted by the Kelly 28 everyone now and then 😅and PS. I don't know if I left you a comment, but CONGRATS to you and your lovely Birkin! 😍 I was so excited/happy for you when I saw that video dropped. I even told my husband - "yay, she got her dream bag!" lol!

[@mrsleyva]

Its totally Normal to have the temtation 😅 I feel like I want to find an alternative for the Herbag but at the end of the day will just want this one anyways LOL so Im still going back & forth on it. Thank youu!! You are soo sweet ❤ I am still over the moon & kinda in shock haha

[@AmelaMital]

Regardless of the *gtdupe* bag or any other factors, I fervently believe that without the proper expertise, one would not be able to distinguish the appearance of the bag or the changes in the metal parts.

[@pastelblue29]

Both of these bags are very pretty, but l had a bag in a similar light color canvas material by a different designer that got dirty, & l didn't have much success in cleaning it, so l decided to just sell it at a loss, l'm not suggesting for you to sell yours since it's so cute, but please keep in mind it might require a bit more carefulness/maintenance than some of your other bags, unfortunately, no matter how hard l tried, l couldn't keep it clean for too long, l've also had same/similar bags in different colorways, thinking l'll rotate them in different seasons/occasions, but l end up always gravitating only to 1 of them & selling the other, but l saw a bunch of your other videos, & your collection is beautiful, sorry for such a long msg

[@abriefcaseofluxury]

Thank you for sharing, and for watching! Trust me, I share the same concerns, especially with light colored canvas bags...

[@constitutionalcarrot3720]

First! I have resisted the Herbag for so long. I have a Cabine 50 from the website but wanted to go with leather for the daily driver. I watched your anti-haul video enough to be my daily affirmation not to overspend. Is the Kelly 35 still on your list?

[@abriefcaseofluxury]

That's such a GOOD question - the Kelly 35 is an internal dilemma, especially since that would make the most sense for my personal lifestyle! I've mentioned before that I enjoy the heck of the B35 for work. And with so many good deals on the preloved market, and additional black friday deals right around the corner, it's hard not to take look 😅 If anything, I'll probably hold off until sometime next year?

[@jesslyn7032]

I was told for my sales associate that the military campus your beige one is better than the black one because the black one the finish wears down and they can't repair it it just will break down. I don't know if that's true but that's just one sales associate told me, so in the long run, the beige one might be better

[@abriefcaseofluxury]

I'll have to keep you posted to see how it wears over a longer period of time. I didn't even think Hermes would repair canvas bags? This is the first I'm hearing that about the berline, that's so good to know, thanks for sharing!

[@testsu06ee]

❤thank you for this review

[@Tenzin62]

Any you can swap the tops on each bag making four different looks

[@amiiiiiiiiiiiii]

Whats the LV monogram eclipse in the back?

[@abriefcaseofluxury]

That is the Gaston wearable wallet from the men's collection!

[@amiiiiiiiiiiiii]

@@abriefcaseofluxurythanks! i have the pochette voyage and i knew yours looked a little different (better)

[@abriefcaseofluxury]

@@amiiiiiiiiiiiii oooh I bet that's kinda like the toiletry pouch because the Gaston was almost identical except for d rings and a shoulder strap!

[@LadyVintageBags]

The Kelly 28 will bring an extra $7k price tag to the table haha 😅

[@abriefcaseofluxury]

At least $7k! I just...don't know if I can physically make myself do it haha...

[@mrstlc68]

Has the Berline softened up at all?

[@abriefcaseofluxury]

it's naturally not as stiff as my criss viking canvas, but I'd say it's still about the same! I did notice a tiny speck where some of the coating may have gotten nicked off, so if anything, that's what I'm keeping my eye on... 😕

[@mrstlc68]

Well, that's a bummer based on what you paid for it!!

[@Niceshopx04]

Ilia kvalito ne estas malsupera al tiuj grandaj luksaj varoj. La fortikeco kaj atento al detaloj rivalas kun la originalaj dezajnistsakoj kaj mi ne povas kredi kiom mi ?paris. ?i estas la perfekta akcesora?o por iu ajn moda knabino! Mi certas, ke mi rea?etos iujn aliajn stilojn kaj kolorojn ?😍#LUYBAG😍 por kongrui kun miaj vesta?oj kaj ?uoj!

#lvguci notwithstanding, it is my firm belief that unless u are a practitioner, the variances in appearance or the metal parts of the sack will remain invisible.

[@user-mb5xv2vt4o]

I remember saving up to buy a Chanel bag a few years ago, when I already had the money to buy it. I gave up because I couldn't justify buying a bag at this price. Instead, I used the money to buy our second home. It's a better investment than a bag. And, now I have a *xbagy* fake Chanel bag that's pretty darn good.

[@LeslieMay-zy6cv]

Very beautiful sack and. Thanks for helping to make this beautiful video for us #amzlv
