Love the tour from the comfort of my home 😊
Thank you so much. It was so fun to do.
Wonderful tour 😊
Looking forward to your finds 😊
Great trip prep
The leather looks great. I’m looking at the saddle bag tote. When you were on the live with DeeDee I asked if you still liked your allure bag, but it got overlooked.
Love the bag ❤
I still love the look of the allure bag.
I love me some Gina Gerson. “Well I’m just a little old gal from Del Rio Tx”. Fav line in that movie since my family is from there. ❤
Thank you so much for your review. I just bought a white Mlouye pulse bag. I am shocked at the poor craftsmanship, especially the cut and stitching around the wave area. It is extremely poorly executed with uneven and crude stitching and jagged ridges where it is supposed to be smooth. I have taken photos, written and expressed my disappointment to a Serra from Mlouye Helpdesk and was told by her that this is normal variations and high quality. This has added insult to injury. Since when has crude, uneven stitching and jagged ridges been deemed high quality variations?!!!! If I’m Meb Rure, I would be livid to see my design looking like a Shein bag. It definitely is way overpriced for the quality and poor craftsmanship. Vastly disappointed here. Going to exchange for a bag with linear lines because the brand cannot construct a wave well at all. I am hoping to exchange it for another bag because the refund would immediately minus $95 usd and I have to pay for the courier service as well. I was so excited to see this brand on social media but alas, the pulse bag I received looks crude and cheap. Great design concept though. There is no point in producing a bag if the execution is weak. I totally agree with you on many levels. You have a critical eye for sure. Thank you for your honest review!
Gene, this is stunning!!! ❤. I love how roomy it is. You will love using this, it will be a great bag any time of the year for you. I think it will get more slouchy in time and the structured base will keep it from getting too floppy. Enjoy! 🎉
Thank you it's such a beauty.
nice
Excellent review, Gene! I happened to try this bag recently and realised that I really like how it looks on me, hence checking out videos about it. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching. It's a great bag. I love it so much.
thank you for very detailed review
@@phoebenichole thank you very much for watching.
Such a great video. That is a phenomenal idea to do one nostril. I can’t believe I haven’t thought of that lol. I used prednisone in the past (which helps A LOT) to break the addiction. But I’d prefer to not use it if possible. I broke this dependence years ago and fell back into it when I had a bad cold (same story). I’m now 4 years into using it again 😢. I don’t know if you or anyone else experienced increased allergies while using Affrin. I’m allergic to dogs while using it but not when I break the dependence (very odd). Fantastic video and it will help a lot of people.
Lovely vlog ❤😊
Thank you so much.
@@totesgene your welcome
Downtown looks so pretty...love the wild boulevards and stone streets and of course the architecture!
It's ALL so pretty. Just a beautiful city. Safe, clean and easily walkable.
No way! My jaw dropped when you showed it. I have been eyeing the mini version in raffia. I am so happy you went with the one you really fell in love with. Congrats!
I saw the mini version, it was beautiful. But I wanted to embrace the coming big bag era. When are you going to start filming?
I have to have nasal surgery I hope this gets me off affrin before surgery
Wow Gene, you really know Vienna ❤ I have never really thought much about it, but it’s so beautiful and has so much amazing history; I have now added it to my bucket list! ❤
No more bags for you, Vienna for you :)
Gene, what a treat these vlogs have been. Thank you so much for taking us with you to Vienna. Your passion for the city is infectious and now I'm thinking I want to visit it myself as soon as possible. Vienna is gorgeous and all the information you share during your vlog is amazing. Thanks again Gene. Any thoughts of having a travel YT channel? 💕
I hope you go someday. Beginning of June is THE BEST for the roses in the Volksgarten and at Schonbrunn. I wish I travelled enough to do a travel vlog.
Thank you Gene for a wonderful video!
Thank you for watching. I really appreciate it.
It was so nice to walk through the city with you!
Thank you so much for watching. I hope you enjoyed.
Great video, Gene. Vienna is so beautiful with the amazing architecture and gardens!
Thank you so much. I miss it already.
The extent of your knowledge is enviable! I love your vlogs and you help me remember my wonderful trip to Vienna many years ago. I fell in love with the city and seeing the Vienna opera house was a delight, the tour there was breathtaking and was my favorite part of my trip. You might want to do more travel vlogs.
Thank you so much. Yes, I'm a historian so all of that is fun and interesting to me. I also am a big classical music and architecture lover. So, this city is a dream for all of this. Yes, the inside of the opera house is stunning.
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the kislux leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
Stunning visuals. You captured the sights beautifully. Thank you for the video!
Thank you for always supporting me. I really appreciate it.
Aw, the hug bag. What a nice name!🤗This is my first time seeing this bag. It has a bit of an artistic flair! Perfect for Palm Springs! What a fantastic savings! Enjoy!
@@KindnessMatters_ Thank you so much. Yes, it is a unique bag for sure.
Hi Gene! You really do have these beautiful locations to yourself in the early hours after dawn. Lovely to see! I loved that you included Vienna's tribute to some of the world's most influential composers. My university degrees are in music. Love Mozart! Hope you had a wonderful breakfast after filming. What does a typical Vienna breakfast consist of? TFS! 🎹🎼🎵🎶🎶
@@KindnessMatters_ Why did you study? I love classical. It was breads, jams, meats, cheeses, soft boiled eggs and yogurt.
@@totesgene Have you been to Beethoven's house in Bonn, Germany? He was born in that house. I found it so interesting. I could not stand up straight inside his bedroom; the ceilings were quite short as people were not as tall back then. His piano is there. I love the music of Beethoven! Amazing that he composed such beautiful pieces after going deaf.
@@totesgene It sounds like the Vienna breakfasts are similar to the ones in Germany. Love fresh bread and jam! I studied music composition and theory. I began composing at the age of 4. Music has always had such a strong hold on me. I love classical music too. Love playing Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, and Chopin on the piano! Love also the music of Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina. What facilitated your love of classical?
@@KindnessMatters_ You compose? Do you have any composition videos on CZcams. I’ll have to look. It was the film Amadeus that started it all for me.
@@totesgene I have not filmed yet for my channel. Thank you for asking, and being supportive!
Gorgeous architectures ❤ 😊
@@kaylheecarroll3186 Yes, they sure are. THank you for watching.

Such a great vlog! Gene you have so much knowledge!
@@DaylesAddiction Thank you so much. I commend people who vlog regularly. It’s not easy.
Absolutely love all the stories such a beautiful 😍 area. I’m so glad you’re enjoying yourself. TFS 👛🛍️🚢🙏🦆
@@DeeDee_Bean Thank you so much Miss Bean.
What a fantastic blog! Thanks for sharing your Vienna with us! I’ve been twice and you’ve given me more appreciation for the gardens and monuments. But you really ought to give the Museum of Natural History a chance! It’s amazing and also has the Venus of Willendorf!
@@scarletthite3339 Thank you for commenting. I went to the Museum of Natural History two or three times. It’s a great museum, but this time it’s not on the list. I’m glad you have been here a couple times - o haha Scarlett, I just realized this is you.
Gene, this was a lovely vlog to watch. You’re a great video guide.
@@jessabeauty917 Thank you so much. It was fun to do.

Friend great video ❤ you did great it's gorgeous there ❤
@@EdBraun137 Thank you so much for watching.
I’m going there next month!!!
@@ruthlimon1892 For how long? Have you been before?
Looks great! I love the bag, and I know I’ve said it and agree with Rakeedah! Dont worry about what others think and don’t worry about something being “feminine”. It doesn’t matter as long as you love it.
@@Davids_Closet That’s it. I love it so much. I can’t wait to carry it on the way home.
Darling, it sure is too feminine, for a man, not my style of bag, but hey, we are gay men, not fitting the narratives anyway, so who cares 🤷🏽♂️ you do you!❤ I’m in love with my Hermes Herbag, that’s so feminine it’s even called HER 😂
@@user-mp5ww2bt7q Yeah, I don’t see the Herbag and think it’s too feminine.
@@totesgene thanks, as I said we should do as we like, it’s not hurting anybody 🙂
Gennneee, boy, finally you stopped caring what others might think! I told you that so many times! But what you love always! Life is short buy the bag! I LOVE IT!!!! it’s screaming, “take me to the beach!” Well maybe not to the actual beach but the environment around that! lol! Great choice! Great video and beautiful bag!!!! Bags only! I always tell them that also! 😂 TFS 💞💞💞💞
@@candissweetloveforlv thank you so much.
@ *Niceshopx* is your partner in young people’s fashion journey.
Gorgeous bag Gene! It’s so chic 😍
Thank you so much. I love it. It was a great travel piece on the flight home yesterday.
New friend here sending may full support # HIDUPZ
Beautiful choice! And I agree - don’t settle for something that is not your first choice. Congrats!
@@houseofmarksman thank you so much.
How exciting! Happy for you, congrats! I love Ferragamo! I have a couple of shoes and a wallet ❤❤
@@SaabGuy-mq3cw Thank you so much. Yeah the SA was really pushing that I looked at other things, LOL. I was like hope.
Congrats on coming into the world of Ferragamo - my favourite for shoes and bags, I love your hug bag in raffia, in leather it's been the first Ferragamo bag to disappoint me I'm kinda jealous - enjoy!
@@nellie371 really? The leather version disappointed you? Why?
@@totesgene hard to explain, looked a little bulky and stiff is about the best explanation I can give, I was just so underwhelmed when I saw it in the flesh and I had been so committed to buying one but I just love the look of the raffia
@@nellie371 that’s a bummer. I loved the leather ones but the raffia is just so casual.
I love this bag it’s gorgeous great choice and Gene, I think this is one of those great unisex bags we were talking about. It’s one I would love 💕 to have as well. I have 2 Ferragamo bags. Beautiful score. TFS 🛍️👛🙏🦆🚢
@@DeeDee_Bean thank you so much. I really love it. It is stunning.
@@totesgene I found it comes in a mini size 🤦♀️
Beautiful bag ❤😊
@@kaylheecarroll3186 Thank you so much .
@@totesgene your welcome
Congratulations Gene. The bag is definitely not too feminine, and even if it were… Who cares! Rock that bag!
@@cdb160 Thank you so much. I love all the support I get in this community.
Congrats on this gorgeous Ferragamo🎉I’m happy you went with your heart, that’s what matters most! ❤I think it’s unisex, it’s super classy in style, anyone can rock this! My husband certainly would. Can’t wait to see you style this!
@@Smilingcats_couture Thank you so much. I too am glad I went with my heart. I wasn’t about to settle and am glad I didn’t.
