[@sabrinaj1996]

Yes! Please do a video of you washing the interior of the Neverfull. That would be very interesting 😊😊

[@unicorntea8244]

I wish more designer tote bags had zippers and multiple compartments 😫

[@nykka3]

Katy S yes!!!!

[@RoseLe]

Same! I need compartments for organization!

[@mariahdavies4232]

My Ralph Lauren tote might be a good option for you. It zips, has a zip pocket inside, and 2 other side pockets inside. Also it’s huge and fits my giant laptop.

[@Natasha831_1]

Katy S me too.

[@LadyEmjay]

I would suggest the "Gucci Ophidia GG medium tote" . Its larger than the neverfull, also has a zipper and its $980 on Gucci website but they were available last week just currently sold out but some other online boutiques have it for around the same price.

[@vaneslie]

I bought the Valentino tote a few months ago after seeing it on your channel and am using it as my work bag every day. It's fantastic!

[@tatianamarques8730]

Im seriously in love with the Valentino tote bag 😍😍 Practical and Gorgeous!!

[@mintycrackers9810]

Wow, I wasn't aware of the Valentino tote but it's instant love. It looks so gorgeous and the Valentino leather is so lovely

[@laredouter4792]

I think the Valentino tote bag is my favourite. The colour is so gorgeous and the studs give it some delicate edginess. What a stunner!! ❤

[@ChaseAmie]

It's definitely a beautiful design!

[@pamelapryor3269]

I went to two Valentino’s stores thy did not have the bag. I might need to buy it online

[@bobbidazzler1343]

Me too. It's beautiful. X

[@justinesoucy]

The BEST video! So informative and useful. I'm always hauling my laptop around and this is the perfect guide for a tote bag

[@epbarrera]

Great comparison video as usual!! I didn’t know you sold your YSL tote... I adore mine in black, doesn’t show wear & tear, no scratches, no marks, its leather it’s amazing, looks exactly as new even though I’ve used it a lot♥️ Love your videos. Thanks Amie😘

[@MsBaby1959]

The Everlane style bag was quite popular in Italy last year and still going strong this year, my personal favourite is the Tory Burch for everyday and the Valentino for more elegant events or important work meetings.

[@beatemyburgh824]

If you do wash your Never Full please film it! 🤗✨

[@hongpinky1291]

Yes please love from🇲🇾😍

[@JisselleVides]

Thank you so much for this video! It has been so so helpful because I have been looking into the Everlane tote and your in depth review really gave me a lot to think about. Thank you!

[@fashionismypassiongirl660]

I like the Valentino tote but I do have the L.V. Neverfull in brown color. It fits everything that I need with my 3 kids. It stood through the rain, snow and sunshine and still looking the best! No complaints! 😁👍🏻Love your videos! 💜

[@msem08]

Thank you for sharing this detail tote bag video. I own the Tory and Neverfull bag as well. I’m considering getting the Valentino bag now after watching this video. I love the color and the spuds. Great video!!!

[@barbsawyerlifestyles2850]

This is the tote bag video I've been looking for. So well done!😃👜

[@ChaseAmie]

So happy you enjoyed it Barb!

[@adrianag.2591]

While watch this video I realized how organized you always are, not wonder why I like to watch all your videos. Love me some well organized KZbinr and professional

[@laurentivoli1183]

The Tory Burch bag is beautiful.

[@uz1star]

This is very helpful. I appreciate the detailed discussion and close-up shots. Thank you!

[@EverInGreen_1988]

Great video! I have the Madewell Transport tote and it's similar to the Everlane tote that you have, but I have it in black with the tan straps. Love the bag, and I do like that Everlane tote, great for fall. Love to get that LV tote. So Pretty ❤

[@dinahreodica6644]

Always great reviews Amie. Concise and articulately described.

[@angeleyn]

Tote are so great for work, but I generally like them structure so they don't fall over and spill out my items. I like how these all fit laptop and papers in it well. I actually really like my Longchamp Penelope tote (has a cinch side and top zip) and also the ysl shopping tote (stays up despite being very soft).

[@DariaIvanovaTV]

I have a neverfull mm damier ebene, in red lining. I’m very happy with it!!! Highly recommended!❤️

[@marjan3010]

I totally agree with you regarding the versatility of Nevderful. My Neverfull is the same as yours with rose ballerina lining. I do use a liner to protect it from getting dirty, but it does mark easily, Your comprehensive reviews and comparisons are super helpful for indecisive people like me. I love to have a Valentino tote as a second tote. Tory Burch has great looking bags, but I would rather spend the money on luxury bags. Thank you for the review. xoxo.

[@jasnaz.3771]

Thank you for very in-depth review, it helps us who are still deciding which one to choose.

[@simplysilent2980]

Very informative, detailed comparison/ review. Awesome video as always.

[@megankelly7043]

Yesss I would love a vid of you cleaning the Neverfull or just a bag cleaning video in general!

[@KristaHarrisSB]

This was super helpful... I am on the lookout for a tote... considering the Neverfull and the Tory Birch, but I am also temped by the less expensive Longchamp Le Pliage or possibly a Madewell tote. I would also be interested to hear more about your bag liner/inserts!

[@sandraburns8386]

I love the never full to me it feels like the type of bag that does it all, whether it be going to the gym, work, the beach or just shopping. I think LV really come up with a brilliant design it caters for all and you get a good selection of colours now. Brilliant video and very informative please show a video of how you clean the inside please x

[@Natasha831_1]

Sandra yea it’s so fun looking at the different options of the neverfull.

[@ChrisPajarillo]

i have the large mcm liz tote in black... perfect workhorse tote for work and school !!

[@joannaw8767]

Thank you! You helped me choose my next tote. I wanted a black one with sth that will make it stand out a little bit. Will go for Valentino. 😀

[@avnikakkar5488]

I’ve been waiting for you to review the perry tote ... thanks girl!

[@ChaseAmie]

So happy you found it useful!

[@spacediof]

i think I like the Tory Burch bag best, love that blue color and middle compartment.

[@mindbodysoul8214]

I love the Valentino such a gorgeous bag. I still love my Neverfull MM to pieces. Will never part with it. Very informative video.💕

[@rachelbrown9816]

Thanks for a great video. I have been debating the Neverfull mm for so long

[@lesleyrigby5648]

I love the Valentino ! Be interested to see what you think of the YSL and Cuyana tote .

[@HoloHoloAdventures]

The Tory Burch tote would be a bag I would purchase for work. I like the understated look.

[@makeupnmedicine]

I just ordered the FURLA leather tote. Zips closed and has feet but is a super soft leather. I am excited to try it out! Wanted to mention that here because I looked for days for a good looking, simple one with a zip and feet under $500!

[@MrPochacca15]

Thanks for this Amy!! Your videos are always super informative and complete. I am still on the hunt for a work bag. Totes are great but i am worried that the weight of the laptop will damage the handles with time. Do you have any other comments con the big Senreve bag? I have also been looking at the new Kate Spade ones that seem good value for money! Thanks!!

[@kileytchang1247]

Thanks for another amazing and insightful video Amie!

[@c0rin]

This is so informative, my fave is probably the Neverfull because it’s lighter than the rest and the extra pouch is always an extra plus! Then the Valentino because of the design! 🥰

[@ChaseAmie]

The Neverfull is super light! Canvas is just the best!

[@jesssmvlz]

I’d LOVE to see video of you rescuing/cleaning the lining of the LV NF 🤗

[@richelepennock6640]

Your Valentino bag is stunning - Dan has great taste in totes!

[@amde8554]

The Cuyana structured tote is the one tote I own (I didn’t consider myself a tote person), but it’s that good

[@kimberly9181]

2nd this! I think a comparison between this and the Everlane would be good! I have a cuyana zipper tote and the leather is very very nice even if the finish isnt very high end.

[@aiyshak2931]

Very informative video, have been thinking if investing in one of these bags, thanks!

[@wanger23]

yes please do a video on cleaning the interior of the neverfull DA! i have one too in GM and am looking for ideas! thank you: )

[@dilnaznalladaru9263]

Hey ... love love love 💕this video ... I am debating between a ysl tote / Christian loubutin tote and a Valentino ... your video just makes me want Valentino... quick question do you’d grocery shopping with your luxury bags meaning put them in carts and all? Or do u use a cheaper bag for day to day ? Again I love how your video was so detailed ... and I live your style just straight talk ... keep posting

[@msymsy3293]

You always have the best reviews! thanks😇

[@swellchstyle3331]

As always great video 😍👏🏾👌🏾

[@brianagaymon3513]

I have the never full in all three canvases, (the leather doesn’t have to patina quite as much if you care for it regularly. I’ve had the azur, and mono for over 5 years and I wipe them down with water wipes and the natural leather looks pristine!) and two epi leather and I also own the Louboutin cabata tote for leather totes that is my favorite!

[@mwmsjuly19]

My St. Laurent is still hands down my favorite. (I have the Perry & a Stella McCartney that I like, too). Haven't seen yours spoken of here since shortly after Dan gave it to you way back when.

[@kristymccarty6175]

Thanks for this video! As always, super helpful. I am looking for a new work bag and just returning Tory Burch McGraw tote because its very heavy without a lap top. Contemplating the Valentino now (thanks to this video) vs the Perry. Any comparison on weight between these two?

[@amyqueenofdiamonds]

This video couldn’t have come at a better time!! My work bag was just stolen from a break-in. Been using my prada saffiano tote but it’s sooo heavy I can’t stand it. You have just about sold me on the Valentino tote. Doesn’t hurt I have quite a few Valentino shoes & accessories so they will all go together nicely 😍 thanks for the great review x

[@ChaseAmie]

Omg! That's terrible, I'm so sorry! So happy that the review helped though! :) xx

[@amyqueenofdiamonds]

Chase Amie Thanks Amie! It did 💕 I’ve been considering it ever since you unboxed it and raved about it hehe. Now I have an excuse to buy it 😂

[@cheriew2512]

Really helpful video!!!! ..... I’m going to buy the TB tote for work. I love the Valentino but not really practical to carry a laptop etc

[@Leliforever]

I hope the Perry Tote is included in the Black Friday sale because I really want one! There is a new dark blue colour that looks amazing, but I've always liked the grey one

[@ChaseAmie]

It was last year and it was a brand new style then so I imagine it will be again!

[@lavieestbelle4990]

Had a good laugh when the crazy bag lady appeared! Beautiful bags, by the way.

[@definelily]

Loove the Valentino tote bag! I've been on a hunt for a new work tote bag since I don't want to wear our my Neverfull too much. I recently purchased a Cuyana tote (about $195 USD). The quality is pretty good and you should check it out! I was deciding between that or the everlane tote but I've seen others with it and I don't like how it looks like after its been worn for a while.

[@chengrdi1]

if u get that Loub Cabata tote u will love for work! i use mine like crazy bc its soo durable and has rubber bottom

[@KaizenTshego]

Diana Davio it’s stunning!

[@mariahdavies4232]

The Neverfull is my perfect bag in theory, but my biggest issue is that EVERYONE has it. I’ve been eyeing that Valentino lately though.

[@violettevbunni9508]

Excellent video is always Amie! I vote yes on how to clean the rose ballerine lining in our LV video.💗 Mine is looking pretty bad also! 🙊

[@ChaseAmie]

It's definitely a delicate lining!

[@msericaplease]

I’ve been loving my coach market tote

[@toki7111]

omg, thank you so much for this video! I'm really sold on the valentino because of the younger minimalistic look, security & wear & tear. The only reason I'm hesitating is because i heard the neverfull is so robust that can last for decades (& i'm not sure if the valentino will do the same. plus, idk if the leather straps will break if I put heavy things in it like a 1 litre water bottle, snacks, laptop, wallet and some daily makeup essentials) but I don't like how it is not as subtly branded as the valentino. Really sold on the tory birch as well because its such great value for money but the styling does not look as modern as valentino. Its such a hard decision!

[@surfnyolly]

Reabini487 I have the Perry tote in red and it’s gorgeous! Sometimes I love the pocket and other times I hate it though. I wish it had a snap closure too.

[@irinatikka2116]

Thank you for the review ☺️ I wonder why you didn’t add to this video the Chanel Deauville as well (it is kind of tote bag and work bag to me as well)? Or do you use it for other purposes? 😊

[@kristinam.p.5058]

Fantastic video! How do you feel about the Le Pliage for work?! Contemplating that one! xx

[@helensee7502]

Great comparison video as i was about to buy tory burch tote but abit pricey for a simple and plain looking tote.

[@mvatolentino]

Love this. A year after, would you go with the same choices or change them? Please share :) Also, for totes, bag organizers - yay or nay? Thanks! Looking forward to your response 💜

[@jeanwangg]

since this is a work tote comparison, i’d say the bag with any form of organization like the divider wins hands down over style.

[@Natasha831_1]

Jean Wang agreed I just love when bags have organization built in.

[@expensivetaste9825]

Except the middle divider is not connected to the bottom so it’s not really a triple compartment. Anything in either “side” will end up in the other side via sliding under the center compartment. I hate that so I steer away from these bags.

[@MsLyra1989]

Thank you! It was so informative:)

[@LadyEmjay]

I would suggest the "Gucci Ophidia GG medium tote" . Its about the same size as the ever lane but it also has a zipper and its $980 on Gucci website but they were available last week just currently sold out but some other online boutiques have it for around the same price.

[@ayshawkhan6912]

Thank you for the beautiful video, Amie! I cannot access the links for Valentino and I was wondering if this is the large or the small tote? Thanks!

[@junebug9224]

Loved this video! I have the NV in mono MM size-love it! That Valentino bag is so nice too. Have you looked into the Christian Loubiton (spelling?) totes? I’m very tempted to look into one of those.

[@dilnaznalladaru9263]

June Bug hey I am tempted between Valentino / Christian loubutin and then saint laurent tote .... can only get one tote so hard decision...

[@jackieattwood4159]

Thay r all lovely but the one I like best is LV great video.xxxxx👍

[@fanfanlin788]

[@kechkouture4813]

Thanks Amie, a very precise review. Shame I'm not into totes (more of a boston bag girl) I would buy the Valentino tote.

[@ChaseAmie]

So happy you enjoyed it Marie!

[@dayle5101]

Very thorough thanks Amy!

[@bostongirl3137]

very comprehensive review. thanks Amie. Do they fit a 15 inch laptop?

[@yuntinghuang3897]

I have the Everlane tote as well, and agree with you about the quality. The leather is not great, and it doesn’t look that good over time. I have been using mine a lot this year for work. It is not a very expensive bag compared to the rest you shared in this video. But to be honest, with all the tax and shipping fee adding on top it, it is also not a very cheap bag. It is also possible to buy a leather longchamp, Tory Burch tote on sale with similar prices. Plus, the using experience is not great for me. When it’s full, it’s super heavy, and straps are not comfortable to wear for a long time. So I would never buy the Everlane tote again. I will definitely get a Tory Burch when I see a good deal this year.

[@annalarson5482]

Can you do a video on how to clean the rose ballerine interior??

[@Natasha831_1]

Anna Larson I dont recommend any liquids because it’s possible the lining may unglue from the canvas. Lint roll the interior for dust but stains, I’d just leave them alone.

[@iXoXoMaddi]

Great. Was thinking to buy the Tory Burch as a „mom bag“. So for me the middle compartment makes sense - for valuable pieces. One side baby, one side mommy. And later a „working mom“ bag. Thanks for the review, I’m sure I’m going to buy it too 🌸❤️

[@ChaseAmie]

Haha love it! It's a great tote - and even prettier in person IMO.

[@vizania]

Thank you for making this video, it is super helpful. Do you use any inserts for your Everlane bag? I’ve been looking for one and can’t decide. Would love to get a recommendation of which one works for the Everlane. Thanks, Amie!

[@ChaseAmie]

Ah I'm afraid I don't for the Everlane!

[@yemhomey4237]

Please please updated review/ wear and tear for the valentino ? :)

[@missmegs37]

great review! also cuyana has a great zippered tote that meghan markle wore that ive been eyeing. the pebbled leather is very luxurious and their quality is amazing

[@gloryahb117]

missmegs The Everlane Day Market tote also gained fame when Megan Markle wore it to the Invinctus Games with Prince Harry when they were dating.

[@bondafisya4645]

I have the Everlane tote and am getting the Perry tote. I am a tote person, I have a few in my collection including the Kate Spade one. Nothing expensive though.

[@WeThePeopletricks]

Hi Amy I have the lv never full but the inside is a bit of a mess 😩could you show a video on how to clean it inside love you thanks jx

[@michelletsf]

Aime, I have researching for a professional, sleek looking tote bag for months. i commute with my laptop daily and have to go to client meetings sometimes, and i'm in a formal corporate setting. i personally love structured bags but when it comes to totes, i find that a semi-structured may be better. i dislike the widely open tops (i live in NYC) and unfortunately, structured totes tend to have big open tops due to its structure! I finally made up my mind 2 weeks ago that I would get the Celine Cabas Phantom tote except the price tag is so high (~$2K USD) and I wanted to sleep on it. ALL OF A SUDDEN, my Chanel SA sent me a text yesterday that he received a medium/large classic flap in caviar beige clair that i've been looking for!! I was walking all over the moon and bought it without a second thought and now I am on a budget and prefer to go with a great contemporary alternative! You've been raving about the Perry tote for years so my eyes are on it (the grey version) for sure. People also seem to like Cuyana and Everlane but I feel like the Perry tote's leather quality seems better, it's more structured and the pebbles are more subtle and professional. Would you agree (I realize i'm asking for a validation LOL)? I had the Mansur Gavriel tote and absolutely hated it. Last question - do you personally find that the higher price justifies the incremental benefits for a work bag with laptop? for instance, 1 valentino (no discount) can literally buy 4 perry totes on discount. Is the durability 4x higher as well? I am personally never a fan of buying "cheaper" options that last a year or 2 and prefer to "invest" in a good one that will last much longer. but then it sounds like the perry tote here literally lasts a looong time and a better value even though it's not considered a luxury brand

[@wtxd]

Always informative in your videos! Just for information, the new Everlane Day Market totes no longer have a raw lining; it's smooth on both sides (I have both an older and a newer version). I like both designs, but I dress very casual and boho even for work, most days. I will probably say the Neverfull is one of my fav totes of all time! TFS! :)

[@ChaseAmie]

Oh interesting! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@mysticfox1563]

That perry tote looks perfect for me but I was gifted a Kate Spade that is on its third year and still going strong even though my work totes truly go through the wars. I’ll change out handbags, but it’s a one and done for work totes for me. When it finally dies I’ll see if the perry tote is still being made.

[@traceyreneerivera-fernande6876]

The one time I purchased a kate spade full price from Nordstrom the straps broke....never again I buy at nordstrom rack for less than 80...no matter the original price I find them all the time

[@carriehsieh843]

Thank you for this! I have been looking for a nice work tote for a while, Valentino is my fav so far! Can you share your view on Saint Laurent totes? Also what bag liner would you recommend? Thank you again for the review :)

[@dilnaznalladaru9263]

Carrie Hsieh hey I am also debating between Valentino amd the saint Laurent . Want to get a luxury tote as a gift

[@jiyounghuh878]

How do you keep your LV neverfull clean? I want to get damier azur, but scared that it will stain and get dirty easily.

[@samantarizzi248]

I currently have and love, also use daily, a tote reversible bag from Kate Spade. It’s simple, it doesn’t have any pockets inside, nor the zipper on top, but I love it so much because you can wear it in black or poudre colour (light blush/beige kind of colour), which is perfect because it’s like you have two bags in one! :) This bag has a little pouch attached to it, it is very small, for coins maybe, or a lip balm, or AirPods. I currently have tea bags inside and a lip balm… The leather is really nice and although I carry a lot of stuff with me every day, it seems really durable and high quality. I love Kate Spade ♠💕 But this Valentino tote is another one I would love to have! It’s so expensive though!

[@tehmina195]

Hey! Can u tell us what the color is of the Valentino bag?

[@kkath12]

i would love to see a review of any of the madewell totes!

[@karenhudson3536]

Love your video. The Valentino is definitely my favorite. I was just wondering if you have tried any of Michael kors totes?

[@ChaseAmie]

I had a jet set tote tote a while ago but wasn't a huge fan due to how structured it is!

[@karenhudson3536]

@@ChaseAmie I have one from a few years ago that I love it is a soft leather. I have a newer one that is a lot more structured and I'm not liking it as much. I love handbags and shoes, my weakness. Thanks for your reply. I really enjoy watching your videos. Have a great day 😊

[@ChaseAmie]

Yup, easily!

[@janhavi16]

How is the outside of the neverfull with azur for color transfer? Sounds like you haven't had any issues with it! I keep holding off on using mine because I baby the azur print!

[@paulatsang6237]

Hi Amie, just wanted to know what bag liners you have and where you get them from? Also you forgot to mention the weight of the bag, i know it may sound a little silly but it does look like the TB tote weights a little more than the other 3 bags, just because it looks more structured. Thx

[@LuxandWine]

What organizer do you use with your Valentino tote?
