 We all love and still love the Bottega cloud clutch But we don't necessarily want to pay that price. I know I don't your girl is gonna bring you a dupe to that bag I think I've shown this bag like way way back in a day when I first got it but I hadn't really shown you guys the wear and tear on the bag and Here we are today with the monster Gabriel cloud clutch It's not a dupe to the Bottega But it gives me that vibe if that makes sense because they're not trying to replicate the bag The top of the bag is different from the Bottega bag and the leather is actually different So in this video, I'm gonna break down. Is it worth buying the Bottega cloud clutch or finding a dupe That is really great quality and a fraction of the price welcome back to my channel guys It's your girl Coco styles on on this channel. We talk about beauty fashion lifestyle and styling I'm gonna go through some of the differences in the bag And I'm gonna start with the price the price is the number one thing that is the major difference in these bags The Bottega bag is close to four thousand dollars and the monster Gabrielle bag is about $700. Okay, and that is for the oversized one, which I'll show you guys Just how it looks It's a really nice size bag I have it in two colors and trust me I want more and I'll tell you why once I get into a little bit more of the specs on the bag This is the actual bag the cloud clutch the Bottega version does not have this Silhouette here it's more of a I don't want to like paper bag because it's all bunched in together So that's the first thing the first difference is the price and for me in my wardrobe And how I shop I don't necessarily have to pull the trigger on some bags if I feel it I can find something Equal or even better as far as the style So the second similarity is they both have multiple colors the cloud clutch from Bottega has I want us I'm gonna say three, but it's more and I'll tell you why three main colors But then they have branched off and got like a zebra print. They have more patterns now like a weaving pattern But they definitely have multiple colors as well as the Montsoir Gabriel bag now the Montsoir bag They have a slew of colors like they have from lime green up into your classic colors So it really just depends on your wardrobe and your style and what you're trying to bring into your wardrobe You guys already know I talked about those lime green Shoes from Jimmy Chu. I absolutely love them The issue is that I haven't worn them a ton It's not that I can't Because I have a lot of new truth But I definitely haven't worn them as much as I thought I would but spring is around the corner again And I'm probably gonna be wearing those this spring. Let's get into another difference between the two bags the Montsoir Gabriel bag is a hundred percent lamb skin All right, and then the Bottega bag is 90 percent calf skin and 10 percent brass I don't even know what they mean by brass not just read it on their website From my understanding when designers are making items and designing clothes They would rather use lamb skin for coats jackets Blazers things like that because they're much more softer to the touch However, this bag is lamb skin. It's very soft But if you are not a person who's hard on your bags, you can definitely get something like this. It's very pretty It's so pretty like inside of the bag is leather I'm just gonna show you guys like some details of the bag when I show you guys When I get to the next part But it's a really really nice bag and as far as calf skin most designers will use calf skin Because it's more durable for like shoes bags any accessories that maybe a little bit harder on that's one of the differences that I don't know. I don't necessarily just like that the Montsoir Gabriel bag is lamb skin because I really like the texture of the bag It's like it's such a nice bag And the price guys like who cannot beat this price So that's the main thing is the material is different But it's it's so nice guys. I mean like look I necessarily don't need to go ahead and spend $4,000 and I can get this Everybody's gonna have the other bag for some of you like oh, it's a dupe. It's not a dupe. It's literally a diff It's almost the same size as the um, Bottega bag But the silhouette and the design of the bag is actually different really nice bag And I think it's very very affordable and then Okay, if you google the bag because this is the old version the new version does have like Like a string or something that you can actually pull out. I believe Um, but if you find like the older versions charge you give them for even lower than 695 Okay, but I'm almost 100 sure they were 5 95 at one point Now there's 6 95 So but it's still a really great quality bag So they've both made in italy, which is a really good thing. So great quality Um designs of both bags are really really nice They both have a magnetic closure. So Quickly able to close. I'll show you guys a video of that as well I have a little papers in here. It closed out It closes right back like no issues With the bag really nice for maybe three years now Really great condition. I'm just really careful with the bag because I know it is a delicate material But I'm just very cautious. I try not to wear a bunch of oils and stuff on my hand I wipe it down. I don't leave it on a counter if I go out for the girls who goes to bar who go to bars You may not want to just sit this on a bar because usually bars have like a little bit of moisture on it And you don't want to risk messing up the bottom. But other than that the clamp is really secure. It's very durable Love it The monster gavriel bag has two different sizes, which is the mini and the oversized And as far as the botega, they have a mini a teen and they have a classic size. So their classic size to me Looks like the oversized one at monster gavriel Absolutely love it. Now the teen I went into botega like a few months ago And I actually like the teen size. It's not a bad size bag It's it's you know, it's for a girl who's six feet tall. I think it's a good size for us Many mini bags just look strange unless we're going to like a dinner party like and I'm gonna I'm not even gonna say clutches I mean like little top handle bags. I just don't think they look good on us. It's just entirely too small We don't have to necessarily always have to get what everybody else has because we not average height. Okay The last thing is that they have one compartment each um, which is great and like no Actually, this guy's like a little side pocket um The botega is I believe it only has one but this does have like a little side pocket and that is also in the lamb skin So ciao the bag is nice if you have something that you want to Buy that is Higher end and you really don't want to spend the money Trust me girls do a search. There's so many designers that have bags and shoes and jackets that are great leather But not necessarily the designer tag on it So you guys already know you just paying for the name chat for me This worked well with my wardrobe. Like I said, I have it in white as well. I've shown that bag before But this is something that I would definitely Say that it's worth it. It's not a ton of money. The quality is great And it'll pretty much last you for a long time if you take really good care of it wipe the bag down Don't do too much with the bag as far as what could fit in my bag It's a really good size. This is probably a little bit over 12 inches. I think I can get a I don't have a ruler Um, but I can fit a tripod in here and a tripod that kind of closes up Maybe like a five and a half foot flip tripod that closes up. I can fit My cell phone. I think that's a 13 and a half and that's the pro I can also fit a small wallet in there Keys I can put sunglasses cases. I can even put my, um, gx seven Is that what it's called? Yeah the gx seven of Vlogging camera and still have room in the bag not be super heavy If you want to carry all of that stuff in a clutch that's the size because you can You still don't necessarily want it to be like super heavy because you're carrying it like this Or possibly like this. So for me all of those things that fit in this bag with my keys my car keys It's a really good size. I think it's the perfect bag for someone who doesn't want to pull that trigger On the vote taken bag get this i'm always going to tell you guys go for quality first and i'm going to do another video about Luxury bags and are they actually worth it because trust them believe me I see a lot of girls buying sunglasses like galore And they talk about the quality of the glasses how the glasses are so great But let me tell you many many moons ago when I was very young I remember going into a store And the person was a salesperson and they said you know these glasses are just like everybody gets the same Glasses like the frame of the glasses, right? And they're literally plastic and the designers are just popping their names on Hey, and it's not the wrong one It because you're buying the name and the style of the name and how the name looks right because some of us Really like how ysl is and some of us don't really like product, right? So it really just depends on your your style you can buy a bag that is great quality When I am meeting with clients. I always tell them quality over quantity Any day, I don't know if you guys have noticed I haven't been doing a bunch of hauls and stuff in 2023 And that is solely because I wasn't really feeling a lot of the stuff that was coming out I'm very cautious on what I buy and I wear my stuff. I don't buy stuff And to take it back. Okay, so Think about this bag if you're looking into a clutch if you don't want something this big if you're shorter than I am They definitely go for the mini size and the mini size is really cute. They have more colors in the mini. They have a beautiful I think it's called It's red it looks red. It's very pretty. It's kind of muted though I don't even know the name of it, but it's really nice. They have a string like the little string I'm calling it a string but it's like a shoulder thing, but it's very small so I probably wouldn't wear that but If you're looking for a really nice clutch bag that you can wear all the time definitely check this out It is worth it in my opinion And like I said, you can find it on sale and right now on their website They probably have a sale going on 100 lamb skin a really nicely made inside of the bag is lamb skin I think it's a win. So That's it for this video. Is the bag worth it? Yes, definitely check it out It's not necessarily a dupe, but it's definitely giving me that vibe.
