 Today we have a luxury handbag unboxing and just a little bit of luxury handbag talk I don't get to purchase or feature a lot of luxury handbags on my channel very often So it's always special to be able to do a dedicated video on these You know whenever I post a luxury video of any sort of nature Cosmetics or handbags in particular. There's always negative comments out again. I just want you to know I am in no way bragging and this is just a style of video I like to watch myself even before I could afford to buy myself luxury goods every now and then I Still watched luxury videos. It's just a topic that I enjoy and I figure if I enjoy it There's a small handful of you that will as well If you don't care for my handbag videos and just love my makeup videos you guys know That's what I'm posting 95% of the time. Don't worry I just want to talk about this handbag that I picked up because I love it There's a lot of meaning behind me purchasing it and then also some other handbags that I had my eye on When I went into the boutique so this bag I've had for a while now It's been a few weeks, but it's taken me a while to find some time to film this today It's actually my two-year anniversary with my husband and I wanted to do a video that was pretty quick for me to film and edit I have my anniversary dinner makeup on not my hair or my outfit, but I wanted to get my makeup done So I will have all the products for this makeup look linked down below It's a mixture of new things that I'm testing and then also some of my staples so that I know my makeup's gonna last a long time So if you are curious about that it will be linked down below, but let's get into it So the purpose behind me purchasing this bag and what makes it so special is I Recently hit and it's been a few weeks now Like I said a hundred K on YouTube and it kind of worked out in a time where I hit a hundred K on Tiktok just a few weeks before that and then a few weeks after I also hit a hundred K on YouTube So this is like my hundred K bag And I wanted to make sure that I got something timeless that I would love for a long time And wouldn't feel the need to reselling This marks a very important point in my career and I saved getting this I even waited some time after hitting a hundred K so that I could go with my mom I've always wanted to shop in the design district in Miami, which is where a lot of designer stores are There's a lot of art. It's an amazing place. So I've been wanting a shot there, but obviously it's quite pricey So when I hit a hundred K, I'd been saving up so that I could do that by myself something to remember that And I wanted to do it with my mom So when my parents came down to visit that was one of the activities I had I wanted to shop with my mom for my hundred K bag. So I had a few bags in mind I didn't want to go in knowing what I wanted, but I kind of wanted the bag to speak to me I did have some in mind. I was very interested in getting a Prada handbag I wanted a re-edition bag because I've always wanted that I've always had my eye on it and honestly the re-edition bag I know so many people love it for the nylon. I couldn't get myself to purchase it It just didn't feel worth the money to me now the re-edition sapphiano leather I'm interested in that one still but then I crossed the nylon off my list and then I just really love Louis Vuitton So I ended up choosing that place and there were a few different bags that I was interested in Now the bag that I ultimately decided on was the Alma BB and the Damié e-Bang e-Bean pattern So let's take a look at it I mean this is not an unboxing if you want to see that I have it in short form on my channel So I don't have the box. I already folded it away It's not new and shiny, but I can tell you in my first weeks of owning it my thoughts So there is a positive to it not being a full unboxing But I do have it right now in the dust bag and are you ready now? This is not a new or fancy bag from Louis This is honestly a classic in their line and that is definitely something that I wanted And I think she is so cute and she is totally me So let's talk about the bag first itself Then I'll tell you my thought process some other bags that I had my eye on and what I was deciding But like I said, this is the Alma BB in the Damié e-Bang e-Bean whatever material They also have it in the monogram a black leather and a few colors of the epi leather Which I was also looking at the epi leather ones There was a pinky one that I liked but I wanted this pattern because I didn't have another Louis in this pattern And I just think it goes with a lot. So the price of this is currently one thousand seven hundred sixty dollars Obviously very pricey, but I feel like for Louis Vuitton. That's not that bad It actually was cheaper than what I had originally intended on spending So I felt like I saved a little bit of money there I wanted my purchase to be in the twos. That was my limit to myself It had to have a tube in front of it at the most and I stayed under the two completely So the length of this is nine point three inches the height is six point nine And then the width is four and a half inches at the bottom as you can see It does come up and become thinner towards the top So the material is coated canvas with a smooth cow hide leather trim and then we also have some gold hardware And I wanted this purse. This is one that I had in mind I obviously didn't know if I was gonna get it or not But I had it in mind because when I graduated high school I bought this Kate Spade bag and I still use it to this day So when we all take favorite bags and I've been obsessed with that shape ever since I have like four Kate Spade bags in that shape And I thought it was the perfect opportunity to celebrate a big career Celebration with that same shape as well in a much higher quality bag now that I'm in this new stage of life And I couldn't be happier with my decision. You guys know I am only you for 11 So this bag does not overwhelm my body Which I really like and it feels very very high quality when you open up the zippers It has a red interior, which I think is so sassy. I have the white Dami a print it's like white and gray cream. I don't know what they call it Clearly I know my stuff. Don't I? With the pink lining. I love that. I have it in the never-full style, but I think the red is so classy now You'll see on the inside it actually for me is quite spacious I normally don't carry too much for me But you know it allows me a mini fan my phone my wallet a snack Some Advil stuff like that I feel like I can get a lot in for me and then there also is a pocket if you need now It also comes with this tag, which I still need to put on it's just a Louis Vuitton tag I don't know why I haven't and then also for the zipper. I think that this is so cute It comes in a Louis Vuitton up poach and then it comes with a padlock and key for your zipper again I haven't yet put them on right now I'm just been enjoying the bag in its simplest form and then it also I have a thing for top handles I've talked about that a lot, but it does also come with a strap the drop is 22 inches if I'm being honest the strap I don't like it. It's not adjustable and it's way too long on my frame But that's okay because I never wear this dial bag cross body anyway So I didn't mind but normally that is something I take into serious consideration when purchasing a pricier bag I need the cross body to be adjustable for my size But since I just knew and had experience with the shape that I didn't wear it cross body anyways This is one of the very few times that I'm unbothered by it But yeah, I'm mostly holding this through the top handle and there are four feet that I forgot to mention on the bag So here's how it fits with the strap on me way too long I definitely would need to either switch out the strap or get this short ends But like I said, I I'm not gonna wear it cross body. So I'm really not that concerned with it I've had this for about a month now, and I am still super in love with it. So pretty much looks brand new I wish this handle was just a little bit bigger so that I could pop it underneath my shoulder at times when I need a Free hand, but I knew that's what I was in for if I wasn't going to use the cross body strap I still find it quite comfortable to hold and it's very very spacious I can't really think of too many other cons other than the strap doesn't fit me other than that I mean, I really love this bag. I am so happy that I picked it up I want it in the bubble colors. I'll talk about that in a moment But yeah, I I'm really happy with my decision because I feel like this is such a classic bag It's not gonna go out of style. It is really me It's neutral and it's something that I'm always gonna want to have in my collection And I'm always gonna be able to remember like hey, I got this one. I hit So that is the bag I ended up picking up But I want to show you some other bags that I was looking at at the boutique So the first bag that actually caught my eye was the Alma BB in the bubble So the bubble ones were all over the store at the time that I went and they have them in so many fun colors And when I saw these online, I was not attracted to them, but honestly in person. They were so cute I was gonna pick one up, but it's significantly more expensive than the one I did pick up The bubble is 2,980 and the one that I have is 1,700 so for about $1,100 difference I just couldn't justify it for the bubble pattern, but I do love the bubble pattern I just felt like I didn't have enough of a Louis Vuitton collection to get one of these limited edition styles I wanted something that was a little bit more classic, but loved the bubble I was also looking at the Alma BB in the epi leather These are a tad bit more expensive They call it the nude, but it was a pink and it came with the most beautiful limited edition strap That you could only buy that bag with the strap I was like this close to picking it up But I decided not to because the bag itself was pink. I really did enjoy that So I was looking at those two, but besides the Alma BB I had them pull out this bag of towel for me in the cream I thought that this was so cute It could be worn as a crossbody or a shoulder strap bag It's $2,500 and I would have walked out with this bag But there was one reason that I did not and it was because the zipper of it was kind of warped So the way that it worked and it's difficult to explain without me having it But the zipper kind of folded out and I don't think they have a picture of it They're not going to show it because it's weird The best way I can describe it is the zipper itself was warped It wasn't like a smooth zip up It was very very weird Even the SA when he was like trying to sell it to me, you know He was like, oh no, it's supposed to be that way But I literally saw him struggling to zip it up and I honestly could not justify that for $2,500 I loved everything else about the bag If the zipper was normal and just a nice clean, simple zip I would have left with this one because this one is also beautiful It's really classy I would love to have a luxury cream bag slash shoulder bag in my collection Everything about it was perfect beside that zipper And the zipper was a huge thing for me So I just couldn't justify it and that is why I ended up with the Alma BB Overall, I am really really happy with my purchase As you can see, I'm over the moon I really don't buy luxury goods for myself very often So it always is a treat when I get to And I am loving up on this one So if you were looking to save up for a luxury bag and you're kind of seeing what's out on the market I'm really happy with my Alma BB and The problem is when I go luxury shopping, then I make a list of all these things that I want now after And then I become a little obsessive So I'm going to chill out for a while with the luxury stuff Obviously, besides makeup, I'm always open to buying makeup because it's my job But yeah, I hope you guys enjoyed this video If you want to talk about some luxury handbags, feel free to comment down below Do any of you have an Alma BB?
