Michele, I'd love to see a video on how you care for your luxury items - silks, cashmeres, leathers, fine knits, etc. Do you dry clean, hand wash? Do you put any protectant or cleaner on your handbags?
That’s such a good video idea! Yes please!!
Same!!
I can’t really afford luxury items but I enjoy listening to you talk about what you use a lot and what you don’t and also about organizing
I LOVE the sparkly Prada pumps. The heel height is my jam, since I can’t wear high heels anymore. And the sparkle isn’t obnoxious. You have great taste! 😊
Thank you so much Steph!
Hi Michele. This tip may organize your bags and remind you of all your collection. I have been collecting bags and a lot of designers bags for 40 years. I’m a little older than you. Anyway, to manage all my bags I started photographing them and started a photo file for them as well as my extensive shoe collection. This has help me rotate all my bags especially black bags. Just a tip.
Thank you Nicole - that is a wonderful idea!
Try a cobbler for your uncomfortable shoes. They may be able to loosen the elastic area.
Thank you! Will give that a try!
And a good cobbler might be able to line the heal area with a soft leather or felt. Good luck, they are cute shoes. Loving the new format too, occasional change is always good for the soul.💖
Moleskin tape on your feet might help also. I can’t live without it as I have the most blister-prone feet on earth!
Also try a good men’s shoe stretcher like you can get in cedar from Nordstrom. I got a size up and successfully stretched the back of a pair of shoes I loved but realized the back leaned inwards too much like this one. Took a while, just leaving them to slowly stretch the tightest point, but it worked!
Every time you do a new video, my heart leaps with joy! I love watching and listening to you while I work out. Your content is always so good and your presentation is just perfection! I wish you posted every single day.
Wow, thank you so so much!
I have no patience for uncomfortable shoes. If they’re painful, I’ll never reach for them and they leave my collection. Nothing ruins a night out or event faster than uncomfortable shoes in my opinion! 😎
I LOVE the baby puke color of the Loewe bag 😍 I also enjoyed the Fendace collection. I got the pajama set from Fendi (wear it as an outfit) and then the matching wrappy scarf which I put on my beige Baguette to turn it "Fendace" lol. I think once you have a lot of bags, you get to the point where there are some you wear a lot and some that are occasion or collector bags. Depending on the year I gravitate towards some more than others but over the years they all get love!
"Wow, that's a really good sticker." Lol, too funny! 🤣🤣🤣
🤣
The top stitching on the peekaboo is really gorgeous
🥰 🥰
Ateastlisa it's not just a bag; it's an art piece. Each design is crafted with unique inspiration and craftsmanship.
The exquisite production process reveals not just a bag, but a fashionable feast for the senses.
That Fendace gold bag is STUNNING!! I’ve always wanted a glimpse of you wearing it.
Maybe just wear it to the store. 😁
I really appreciate your position with the Balenciaga tote. I so love that house, but that whole scandal ... just so disappointing, and their alleged apology was trash. I want the brand to recover because I adore it, but YIKES.
I would never support them again unless the fired everyone and hired Nicolas ghesquiere today
Like have they NOT fired the CD yet???? Kills me
It will recover. It was a campaign it wasn’t a good one but nothing earth shattering happened.
@@katemiller7874 what. False
i definitely think you'd absolutely adore the kelly, either 25 or 28, in the retourne style! having that additional strap makes that bag a hundred times more practical and enjoyable than the birkin
No matter if it's the *preluxz* or any other, my steadfast belief stands that only practitioners can perceive dissimilarities in the sack's looks or the metal constituents.
I’m so here for this. I wish I could regret any high end buy. I can’t afford them, so this would be a dream video😂😂😂😂😂😂 love you. So fun.
Thanks Louise! ❤️
Ommmmg!!! More of this!!!!
I just got my first BAG! It’s the VINTAGE takashi Murakami black multicolore and I forget the size lol but it’s like 13inches 😮😮 That collection was the first ever - I was in 8th grade!- that made me love fashion and then I was obsessed for years with the industry!! I had so many pictures on my wall! And now I finally own a piece!!
More regret videos please ❤❤❤ yay
And I made some offers on the pink Dior logo bags from 2004ish.. but those are all yellowish nowadays
Thank you for voicing about Balenciaga. Made me decide to subscribe to your channel. You have great videos and love your collection!
Thanks for subbing!
loving the vlogs, Michele!
ETA: SHOW US THE BIRKIN 40!!! i know nothing about handbags, so this world is fascinating to me.
Thank you so much!
Love your collection Michele! Especially the handbags!❤❤👜
Any good cobbler will stretch out or fix any problem with your shoes. As I am getting older, me feet have grown. I’ve had most of these shoes stretched a half an inch. So comfy now!
I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts on Balenciaga. Also, I love a broken-in beat to HELL Birkin bag. I think they look better that way.
The sparkly pumps are so beautiful and my favorite bag is the greenish Fendi. Not your typical everyday bag but definitely a statement piece. Enjoyed this video so much.
I would like to see a collection of bags with the best closures. When traveling, I like a bag that is secure.
👍🏻
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! So, so useful to hear follow up and feedback on such considered and not quite everyday purchases. It's funny with many luxury goods because despite their pervasiveness and ubiquity, they are little works of art and such lovely, special items. Special pieces bring me such joy! 🥰😍
No to armpit bags for me either Michele, I definitely have “too much going on there already” having a larger chest! 😂😅 You’re so funny without even trying.😊
😂 xoxo
Please excuse my blabber, I meant “as well” instead of either but I was too busy laughing. Still laughing.🤣
When the Gucci hacker collab came out I quickly bought the black and white marmont. Love that bag but I’m disgusted by Balenciaga now and it’s up for grabs on eBay!! Selling all my Balenciaga to put towards my next Chanel baby (really want the rainbow reissue). Love all your luxury fashion videos ❤ xo
Ohh I’ll buy it.
I just saw a photo this week of SJP onset filming for the next season of "And Just Like That" with the Fendi baguette bag in fuschia. I recognized it from your collection earlier this year!
So agree with you on having room under the arms!
Try getting the shoe inserts that you place under your heel. It will elevate naturally your foot and this piece that is rubbing and hitting the back of your foot will be hitting it lower, significantly decreasing the pain and the discomfort
I love these type of videos! You have a lot of very nice handbags & shoes! I really love the crystal Prada & Jimmy Choo shoes & Chanel, Hermes & Fendi bags. Very nice collection!! 😊❤️
Yay!!! Happiest Sunday Michele!!! ❤
You too!! Thanks Yulia!
For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I would be happy to have the *preluxz* as my travel bag and not have to take care of it. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
Michelle! Your makeup, hair and sweater in this video are EVERYTHING! Stunning 🤩
Hey Michelle, what about a wood shoe insert in the Bottega shoes? It may help shape the elastic and leather so they can be worn more.
Ohhh great idea!
Love the Dior black bag.. gorgeous ❤
The white pochette multicolore was the one I saw in 8th grade at That’s So Raven taping 😂 and I became OBSESSED with LV and paper ads
Love your long videos....they are so relaxing to watch.
🙏 thank you for refusing to wear the Balenciaga bag. They should close down forever for their disgusting choices. Save the children!
Those Bottega shoes are "sitting shoes" :)
Thanks for sharing!! Loved your purchases!!!
Thanks for watching!
What a fun tour! I’ve shifted to flats these days but your heels are so perfectly chic. Wondering if you find the Loewe sneakers comfortable - the ones with the funny soles? I’ve been so tempted by their Flamengo bag since you bought yours since it looks like a perfect example of supple leather and the color options are intriguing. And thank you for the no Balenciaga choice - nothing makes what they did right. Love your style!
The Loewe sneakers are so comfortable, especially after a few wears!!
@@janelane92 thank you!
Love all your bags. I just saw a Ferragamo bag it is black and has like birds embroidered but not with threads but small pieces of leather in different colors. Gorgeous! 😊
Hey Michele 💜💖 I remember when you showed us the Dior camo jacket, I was enamored then and I’m still enamored. Which is funny because I usually don’t like camo due to living in the country in the PNW camo is a regularly used design for practical purposes, hunting. I don’t participate, I have mixed feelings about hunting and that’s a conversation for another day. So camo isn’t fashionable here but man oh man! If you ever want to get rid of that Dior camo jacket keep me in mind! I love that stitching and how big it is. Fabulous!
A wonderful video! I love your style and choices! Cheers, Lorna ❤
Kudos 🤙🤙🤙 to you Dear Michèle for not using your Balenciaga bags 💼 = totally 💯 share and have done the same too 😉😉😉. Wonderful Fendace baguette 🥖 bag 💼 & Loewe Flamenco 💃 bag 💼 too! Love ❤️ your Chanel dad 👨🏼 sandals 👡 = best comfortable shoes 👠 👞 👟 ever! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻♥️♥️♥️🥰🥰
Thank you so much!
@@TheMicheleWang 💋💋💋🥰🥰🥰🥰👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️👡👡👡👡
thank you for sharing this video. You have amazing taste, classic and practical. I have the Dior saddle bag from way back from the 2000s. it is a tiny armpit bag from the 90s but it was one of my first luxury purchase so I still use it every now and again.
I have the Jimmy Choos in the flat version - it's so versatile. You might want to check those out for a "casual" option
I be eyeing those jimmy choos for a bit. So beautiful and elegant
I have the exact same caviar jumbo and have not worn it much because of how heavy it is. Been wanting to sell it, but you are making me want to use it again :)
Michele I love your handbag collection, it's so so gorgeous selection of different brands and styles 😍😍
Thank you so much!
I think the Amina Muaddi’s in the nude color are PVC - I’ve heard others say they aren’t comfy. I wonder if a no-show liner would make it nicer to wear.
Liebe Michelle! Vielen Dank für das tolle, interessante Video. Besonders deine Taschenkollektion ist ganz super,vor allem die Fendace bags. Großartig!
Love the Chanel 22 bag!! This was so fun, I enjoyed seeing your beautiful collection and you have so much joy talking about fashion, very cool! Thank you for sharing this part of your life, it was so fun!
I love mine too. Working on my third lol
@@katemiller7874 Lol it's like once you buy one, you have to have another and another! 😅 kind of like Lay's potato chips lololol
So happy to hear about those Prada shoes! I desperately need shoes that are a bit dressy yet comfortable. I have a wide foot also so appreciate the sizing information.😊
I just cant stop thinking about the Loewe Flamenco since you showed it. I absolutely love everything babypuke colour (😂) and this bag is perfection!
❤️❤️❤️
Love the Gold Fendi Collab... You should wear it more! It's a statement. Yes, this is being said by the woman with a vintage Graffiti Horizontal B&W Alma and haven't worn her once :). Maybe this weekend!
Love the variety of bags. My favorite was the Fendace baguette handbag in gold. My SA was not able to get that for me. I was able to get the Sunshine tote in Zucca print with the Versace Medusa on front. Just subscribed.
Hi! Maybe it is to private, in which case please ignore my comment:) But I would like to hear your thoughts on how you spend your money on fashion? Your priorities and thoughts behind it? Like you spend a lot on shoes and handbags and on some sort of statement pieces from well-known brands but you also buy clothes from H&M and other very inexpensive brands. Why? Love your channel ❤
Love your Hermes bag. Very pretty.
Hey Michelle on a different note, I watched Emily forget last name anyway I think you would love the black eyelash primer from Estée Lauder. It will absolutely keep your curl all day it is amazing. I had never heard of it. But definitely worth a try if you haven’t already! Have a great day!💕💕
I can’t apply mascara applying using a primer first! However I don’t like the black EL one. I had used their white one for years and years and they discontinued it not long after introducing the black one! I was devastated. I’ve now switched to the white one from Lancôme which is fantastic.
Please show the beat-up Birkin 40 in future! Lots of us are looking for a worn-in, well loved Birkin preloved. It’s a fun vibe, though less professional.
Not that you’re selling it; just curious to see how they wear when used in real life!
Loved this one, Michele!! But show us the 40!!! 🖤👀
Oh my God, I love that parka
after watching the video where u shopped at loewe and bought the flamenco, i loved it so much, i bought one as well, in the nude color, and I LOVE IT! i got the whipstitched handle as well, the bag is so versatile and is my go to bag to pack for travel! matter of fact, i got great use of it when i was in Vegas recently, crossbody during day, clutch or handle for dinners. Love your style, and have found your recommendations on makeups are spot on, i can’t live without the TF brow gel in granite among so much more, but that has been a game changer for me, so Thank You!!
Oh that's wonderful!! I love the nude color, and was just eyeing it in the XL tote size! Hmmm maybe next bag? 😃
Live you choice regarding the Balenciaga bag! I just love and respect you so much more!
So many beautiful bags. I love that Loewe! Glad to see your realistic views on Balenciaga. Beautiful products, ghastly advertising. But, that does t mean throw out the bags and never use them again. Who can afford to do that.
Yes because Michele is mature. The young ones aren’t.
Your Birkin is gorgeous! I think you would love an Hermes Bolide bag. It’s a super practical, minimalist style with a zipper.
If we knew everything going on behind the scenes of all brands that we have in our possession...we'd own nothing. I promise.
Like, Tom Ford on the Epstein Island visitor list.
Thank you. I would continue to buy. It’s business
Good point
Oooh, the CHANEL Sandals are gorgeous!
Haha “wow that’s was a really …good..sticker!” Cute
Watched this in 2022 and again in 2023. Need an updated version 🙏🏼
No shelving for your bags?
Love that ocher yellow bag...why not wear it with jeans? 😊...your super-blingy bags make me smile..that's a good thing.....makes me think of that bird who can't resist shiny things :)) Hurray for "happy " things!
Oh I am looking forward to this one!
Thank you Alicia!!
Totally understand your Balenciaga feels... gives me the ick now 🤢
For the very uncomfortable Veneta shoes why not buy some shoe stretchers? Or even keep the stuffed with loads of paper when you’re not setting them try stretch the elastic 😉
Thank you for sharing your experiences with your pieces. It is very helpful with knowing how they function with use. Love your videos
I want the Jimmie Choo in snake print.....my earrings!!! 😆 I appreciate a handbag where both handles are detachable, love the color of the Fendi bag.
Fantastic video, im learning luxury brands for fun, so much fun🎉
I love your eclectic taste !
That gold Fendi bag is everything!!!! I would rock that to the grocery store 😂such a cool piece!
great taste Michele! i luv the pearls on you with your coloring and mine too!
Thank you so much!
I just loved this full fashion vlog
Absolutely adore your two baguettes! Definitely collectors pieces 🤍
LOL, I can tell you I was carrying my b25 like a football under my arm and between my legs..finally it really annoyed me as my jewellery was getting caught under the handles...love the capacity but the top handles really really annoyed me...
😅😅😅
Omg I did not know you had wide feet! Please do a luxury shoe recommendations for wide feet because I also have wide feet and find it so hard to find nice shoes that don't hurt me 😭
Thank you for sharing Michele,
Such a great collection. Especially you r collection of bags is truly beautiful.
Have an amazing Sunday!
Xo❤🧡💛💚💙💜💗🤍🤎
Thank you! You too!
@@TheMicheleWang 🥰
I love how you saved the best for last 🎉🎉🎉
Loved this video but was surprised you didn't include the bag you purchase from Loewe!
The latest one - the big Puzzle bag? I haven't had enough time with it yet and have only used it a couple of times to try out and test
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I have a thing for mini bags, provided they fit my phone. I love the look of your Prada mules however I don’t like wearing shoes that flip up at the back. I think because I always end up scrunching my toes so the shoes don’t fall off? 😂 I love your dad sandals for the looks and the comfortability. I’m all about comfort these days!
I'm smiling because right after you bought Loewe Flamenco I bought mine in burgundy and I don't wear it either 😆 I think it's a matter of size, it's a bit too small for me, but it's a beautiful bag.
Thanks for sharing!!
Love this kind of video. Please do more!
First time viewer, love your no nonsense attitude...
Hermes kelly 32 vintage size is perfect for you have strap and big enough for all your things. Love from philippines ❤
The Prada mules are fabulous ❤love them
Love the color of the Loewe bag 💚
I love the Fendace and the chartreuse baguette. The 19 gets honorable mention.
Loved this video Michele 🤍
Those bags look beautiful. Tks for sharing yr thoughts.
Those Prada sandals, i need i hope Prada will have them again this year, and if they run large, it gives me hope that 42 will fit, since there is no 43 😂 and Fendi sequin baguette is on my wish list 🙌🙏 Have a blessed day 🙏🧡
Hi Michele, happy Sunday! I really enjoyed this video and I am glad you really enjoy your Chanel 22 as I did see a few videos of people who had problems with theirs. For me, I really love your Prada Peekaboo and I even went into my local Prada boutique shortly after your unboxing video when you originally bought it. However, I do need to be realistic and put that on my bucket list for the future because we did purchase a Tesla Y early January 2022 so no Peekaboo for me (for now). Have a great day!
