Ok... I'm trying to think of a new bag for my bday... I'm def going to consider a Dior bag! Is there a specific bag you'd recommend? Book tote? 😍 And omgoodness..43 states?! I love that you have been to so many places I have to agree about Prada.. i pretty much always think of nylon bags🙈 i have said the same thing about brands that have outlets.. it kinda cheapens the company for sure I really enjoyed this one.. great video ❤
Thank you for answering the questions! The questions were good. 😊 Q and A videos are my favorite . It rally gives insight into you as a person. I also enjoy traveling vlogs. I appreciate how you really enjoy the culture when you travel.
Gene, I totally agree about Chanel! I’ve not seen a bag yet that doesn’t remind me of my grandmother. lol. And thanks for sharing a little more about yourself ! I love 2 hours south of Buffalo. Don’t blame you for getting far from that crazy snow. Haha
I love the Chanel 22 and the Chanel Kelly. I should have mentioned it, but that's it. It wasn't my choice to leave Buffalo. We moved to Wisconsin when I was 13. I will take Buffalo snow over Wisconsin cold any day! Thank you for watching.
I almost bought a Dior crossbody in the jacquard print when I was traveling overseas. I think I need to pull the trigger on that soon. And I love Indian food too; thank goodness there’s a lot to choose from here in Chicago. Hope you have some good options in Palm Springs. This was a wonderful way to get to know you - TFS!😊
Hello Gene, what a joy to learn more about you. Queen Elizabeth was amazing and so poised. I was obsessed for years as a young girl with the Romanov dynasty, Rasputin, etc.
I loved this. It was nice and long and I loved learning more about you. I am from WI and I liked outside of Syracuse for a year...very near Buffalo. :-) So, we have lived in a couple places near each other.
Hi Gene great video such fun to learn more about you and your thought process when making these insane decisions we make 😆 thank you so much for your kind words regarding my collection and the start of my channel you’re very kind.💚💚💚💚
This was a great Q&A! I love Indian food. Funny story. My dad and I soent Christmas in Warsaw with my friend the year my mom died. He never was the type to try food he wasn’t familiar with, but we went to an Indian restaurant and he loved it! So now it holds a special memory for me, too. I love hearing your feelings about why you like certain brands. Thanks for doing this!
Dior does have outlet stores. Maybe not at the outlet center near Palm Springs, but there is one at Woodbury Commons in NY, and also in Bicester Village in the UK.
Thanks for sharing! I agree on Dior and plan to buy more after my new D-joy bag...it is amazing and the customer svc was incredible! Have a beautiful weekend!
What color did you get? Yes, Dior is amazing. I went it once and said to an SA i couldn't buy anything but I've never seen any of their bags up close, and I loved the brand, and could I see a couple. She was so nice and showed me a bunch of bags.
@totesgene I bought my first bag in March at the Dior in The Wynn in Vegas. I got the lilac D-Joy in small. Purple is my fav color and this lilac is gorgeous! It is the perfect size, love the top handles which fold down and both straps though prob won't use the leather crossbody because I love to carry top handle. I really want a book tote but not sure what size to get. I hope you get the delite Miss Dior. You will rock it!
Hi Gene. I love, love, love Dior as well. But I do also like Louis Vuitton as well. I just received the Dior blue raffia pouch that I converted into a bag. I love it. I can carry it as a clutch, or over the shoulder, or even as a crossbody. I really enjoy your videos.
Hello Gene, new subbie here. Like you I also place Dior higher than Chanel in my mind....I do own three Dior bags, and looking to purchase another one including another dress , preloved of course.....I also love Dior perfumes, makeup especially the lipstick.
Hello. Great video. I’ve yet to do a Q&A. I’ll get around to it. I love Dior but the bags I like are out of my budget. I’ve been thinking about the pochette Métis for a while. Seems to be one of the most popular. Funny how you described yourself as feeling sick when thinking about what you’ve spent. Been there often, lol. This was enjoyable. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Love your sincere q and a session :) Perhaps the reason why people kept speaking of Chanel is because of that CF bag :D but I agree with you about Dior bags, it is very beautiful and are works of art especially their Book Tote :) please do a review of your book tote, would love to hear how its holding up! Also I feel that because Dior bags tend to be weaker in the resale market, hence perhaps it isnt as popular I guess.
I love Prague, too. I've been 3 times. I need to go back. It was the city I was obsessed with all of my life. Being there is like stepping into a fairytale and I literally cried standing along the river looking up at the castle for the first time. It's just so beautiful. Breathtaking.
I know. There are a lot of places I should go. I keep going back to London, Paris, Berlin and Vienna. Those are my favorite cities and I know them so well. Like the back of my hand, so I miss them terribly, especially Vienna.
I agree, Balenciaga to me is such a bore, and D&G also, not very good people. I wouldn’t ever give those brands my $$. I will say the Hermes Orange colors are so stunning. My first Hermes purchase as a Birkin 35 in Orange Poppy with Palladium. It was stunning, and to this day its the one bag I regret selling.
Uh excuse me my math be mathing 😝 I’m going to get it and have it hot stamped “Gene hates my bags” 😒 BTW when were you sending over you Side Trunk to me 😌 I will never buy a Balenciaga bag. D&G needed to go out of business already 🙄
I love Balenciaga and their bags are awesome! You are very aggressive in your negativity and I think you would benefit from opening your mind. No love lost as I don’t think you are their target audience. Unsubscribed.

That's a great story. I should share this with my mom - she is so food-closed-minded.
It is amazing how comfortable you are in front of the camera now. Great video and sincere, honest answers!
Hahahah😂 fabulous video! Thanks for answering my question 😂
Dior does have outlet stores. Maybe not at the outlet center near Palm Springs, but there is one at Woodbury Commons in NY, and also in Bicester Village in the UK.

Watching on my birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊 and thanks for answering my questions ☺️ ❤

That's a great bag. They are so beautiful.
Great question, Julie! I’ve often wondered that myself! 😊
I'm glad she asked it. It was a great question. It's beautiful portrait of her. She was beautiful, so I like it for that reason too.

Terrific video, Gene, it’s lovely to get to know you! ♥️ If someone gave be a Birkin I’d sell it and buy a Fendi baguette. Thanks for doing this!
Thank you for watching. If someone gave me a Birkin, I'd keep it, but I love the baguette.
Oh you must visit the New England states you mentioned! I’m in love with Maine and Vermont!
I do have to get up there. Just never have.

Yes, you are right on the Dior resale. I wonder why. Thank you for watching
I love Vienna! We drove down to praug it's a 4 hour drive away and I adore it, this was a long time ago because it was pre EU but best memories
I love Prague, too. I've been 3 times. I need to go back. It was the city I was obsessed with all of my life. Being there is like stepping into a fairytale and I literally cried standing along the river looking up at the castle for the first time. It's just so beautiful. Breathtaking.
Oh you should try Copenhagen
I know. There are a lot of places I should go. I keep going back to London, Paris, Berlin and Vienna. Those are my favorite cities and I know them so well. Like the back of my hand, so I miss them terribly, especially Vienna.
You must have read Nicholas and Alexandra! I’ve read it at least twice. 😊
I do need to read it. I love the Romanov Dynasty. Such a fascinating history.
@@totesgene One of my favorite books. If you enjoy historical novels you will love it, it is so well written.
I agree, Balenciaga to me is such a bore, and D&G also, not very good people. I wouldn’t ever give those brands my $$. I will say the Hermes Orange colors are so stunning. My first Hermes purchase as a Birkin 35 in Orange Poppy with Palladium. It was stunning, and to this day its the one bag I regret selling.
Yeah, I would NEVER sell that, but I am an orange junky and love Palladium. I'd love a Kelly in blue and a Birkin in orange.
Uh excuse me my math be mathing 😝 I’m going to get it and have it hot stamped “Gene hates my bags” 😒 BTW when were you sending over you Side Trunk to me 😌
I will never buy a Balenciaga bag. D&G needed to go out of business already 🙄
