- Luxury unboxing of the new Dior Oblique Monogram Vanity Case. Here I compare it to vanity cases from Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Gucci to discuss the differences and which once is the best value for money. I'm also going to share with you the hack the luxe brands don't want us to know - notice how CHANEL & Louis Vuitton have started ADDING A SHOULDER STRAP to their vanity cases and inflating the price of them?!!!
Currently, buying a designer vanity case means you can get A LOT of bag for your money - add you own strap or handle to get the designer look for less! Ad

Unlike others on CZcams, you manage to discuss extremely expensive purchases, whilst keeping it real. I think this makes your channel unique, informative...and entertaining. Good job!
Yes, she's very down to earth. She understands the regular person's perspective while sharing her lovely luxury purchases.
True I like the way she gets in depth
I concur
Colin Renfrew absolutely
I feel like you could pull off a really cool “vintage vibe” type style by using a vanity vase as a hand bag. For some reason it makes me think of like door to door makeup saleswoman. I’m for sure here for it!
OMG you are so right! Like the Avon ladies that used to come around 😆
Avon calling😃
Avon representatives represent
Since when did Christian Dior become so blatant displaying their name? Whenever I purchased Dior years ago, their brand name was so discreet and classy!
Hey Patricia, 💯 the logo is getting an airing these days Lolo! 😂 Theres still lots from dior without the big logo if you want it xx😘😘
There was this trend where all the brands did big labels and logos recently
It's that 90s vibe... back to the logo mania
I was all about nondescript in my younger years....now ashamedly, I got sucked into the #logomania hype. Maybe the depressing world climate brings about the shallow vibe. Am down for it though
Sophie Shohet | Fashion Beauty Lifestyle you still keep the labels classy thank goodness. A little of a logo displayed is not a bad thing, it’s when one is covered from head to toe, looking like a billboard, that I have a problem!
"I think you can do whatever you want." 👍👍👍
I like the idea of using it as a handbag rather than a vanity - imagine one of your foundations leaking all over the inside of it. I'd die lol.
Yes, omg! I spoke about this actually but the video was about 20 mins long so I cut it out lol!😂 So true though, and when you’re spending this much you don’t want spilt micellar water and bronzer stains in the bottom! Haha! Thank you for watching and commenting my friend!xx😘😘
I believe, like the LV Nice, most vanity cases can be cleaned by wiping the inside.
Haha, since I saw the vanity case on the Dior video I immediately thought, that's basically a bag! Looks like other people felt the same way 😅
AnnathePiana yes !!!! or your eyeshadow breaks ..... omg omg 😆
Since awhile back , I always hv a Ziplock inside of my makeup bags !
I just love the train case style and it is so practical and pretty looking. So very lady like. Why not wear it as a bag out and about?
That box the case was in is so beautiful. I almost wish they had a bag with that design.
Yes I agree!!!xx😘😘
Lol
I have been rocking a Chanel vintage vanity case with a strap for the last couple of years, and love the look! I get compliments on it all the time.
I love Sophie because she makes it feel like luxury is attainable and relatable.
I kind of like the vanity cases, but I don’t know if I would wear it as a handbag.
Same! I have a handbag that basically looks like a very fancy ice bucket (LOL). I'd probably just carry the vanity case as is but use it like a handbag. But not with a chain or strap or anything. Just me holding the vanity case around. IDK. That's about as much as I can do. I'm too traditional I guess.
Me too seems a bit bulky but never considered it before.Have to admit the pink Chanel is really cute
@@SL-lz9jr I agree, \the Dior lipstick case set definitely looks more like a clutch and i bought it for that purpose. This vanity case looks like a vanity case when there's a chain on it so i would prefer to carry it with the handle. You can check out my Gucci lipstick case/clutch if you like on my channel
I did this in the 80's with a louis vuitton vanity case.
I will never ever be able to afford this kind of luxury. However I love how real you are. I have friends who can afford lux and those like me who can't but it doesn't change who we are when we are together. Love your you tube videos 🥰
Fidelma Gerrard never say never 🤦🏾♀️
That's such a cute idea! It also gives you a more "unique" designer handbag. So for those of us that want to have a more distinctive look, this is such a great way to kind of "customise" a bit more!
No
I really like this idea and actually, Coach has a bag in the market for a while now called the Trial Bag that is exactly this concept. much cheaper as well and with it's vintage brown color is just beautiful
i bought a pre loved vintage gucci vanity case for $300 and then bought some D-ring rivets and modified/attached it on the sides. now i can easily put any strap i want ❤️
I really hope they won’t raise the prices on vanity bags😕 I can definitely see myself purchasing one and wearing it as a bag🙌🏻
The vanity case bags are so popular now! This comparison is really helpful!
It looks great and serves purpose as the bag really well, but at the same time I think it’s really bulky.
I love how you say "just do what you want"
I have the LV Toiletry Pouch 26 that I use as a clutch and I absolutely adore it. It looks so chic and I get compliments on it all the time.
I LOVE THIS IDEA!! I never thought about it, and definitely going to purchase one
The thing you said about them turning thier vanity cases into bag and upping the prices is so true. It's just like florist as you the word wedding. The prices ups times a billion
You’re just the loveliest person. Loving your diverse videos. No one else is as passionate or humble or fun on CZcams. I love your channel so much and it’s a joy to watch. Thanks, Sophie!
coach makes a bag called the "Trail bag" that i always thought looked like a lunch box or a vanity case too, I know that's not in the same league but definitely an option if people want something a bit more affordable.
struckanerve88 the trail bag is gorgeous, I love it!
Excellent point concerning the Coach Trail bag. It is the most affordable option for vanity case fans. Steve Vevers for Coach is doing an amazing job with Coaches latest collections. Truly something for all handbag lovers @ all price points. I respect that.
I just checked the bag out! Great tip! @struckanerve88
You are always honest in your vlogs... love that Sophie!!
Revisiting this video almost a year later I have thank you for your insight. Amazing video. I bought the Gucci vanity case today.
I thought the idea of wearing a vanity case as a bag was kind of silly in the beginning, but the more you talked about it the more I got into it 😂 strange...
Your statement says a lot about you. An example I use with friends is: if an unattractive person is on television , you constantly see him or her the person then becomes beautiful to the population. Stick with your original idea and you will attain your goal; a real designer bag no matter what the brand is.
Nancy Osman orrrr maybe, just maybe, Alex is capable of changing their mind lol
Nancy’s statement actually says the most about herself. Snooty 😂
@@user-lt3qf3dh1n yes I am.
@@XxJuultjeexX a diamond and a cubic zarconia are not the same.
love this. I know a lot of people wearing louis vuitton mens wash bags as clutches!
This is such a practical, functional and brilliant idea! Also, I appreciate that you don't start your videos by asking everyone to subscribe, which other ppl do and it's annoying. It's fun to watch these videos because you are so natural, professional and sweet!
Small correction: LV vanity cases are not called “nice” like the English word but Nice like the French city in the Côte d’Azur... there is why is spelled like “Nice”...
Oops, I’m sorry! Xx
yes! Pronounced like niece
A large mouth vanity case is WONDERFUL! Love the LV case chain and the feet!!!
I love the idea!! Think it’s very creative and cool, thank u for showing us xx
Congratulations on your over 300k followers! Well deserved! I love your videos!
Thank you my friend, that is very kind of you to say!!!🙏🏽❤️xx
I love you Sophie! But wearing your vanity case cross body is a no for me. Someone might ask me for shampoo or my body lotion while I walk around😊 I love these for storing my toiletries straight when I travel, these are beautiful luxury pieces. Thanks for exploring and offering options.
Absolutely LOVE this idea! I feel like it opens the doors for a lot of different people and very grateful to you for making a video about it! 😍💜🌸✨
I do love these grown up lunch boxes.
Hi Sophie. I love the idea!! Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful weekend.
I love you with your notes. It's so endearing and I'm not even sure why haha! I guess because you keep it casual with us. Also, as someone with a MUCH smaller budget than yours, it's SO NICE to see someone considering prices as carefully as you do xxx
Cannot decide between Chanel and Dior vanity case...thank you for sharing ♥️♥️♥️
Those would make adorable, high end lunch bags :)
I'm shocked , I wouldn't have thought of wearing a vanity case until watching your video, but I really like how your Dior case looks, and can imagine any of the others looking just as lovely (apart from the really big Louis Vuitton case, that I think would look a bit too big) I don't own any of these vanity cases, my bag collection is very small, but I would for sure consider buying a vanity case to use as a bag, especially when saving two thirds the price. Thank you for this eye opening video Sophie. Xxx
This is a fantastic idea Sophie! You’re always thinking of fantastic ways of getting the best for your money. Thank you! 💕
Absolutely love this idea! Not sure i would feel confident enough using them as a bag crossbody as quite bulky but you could hold them which is quite cute i think :)
I have the LV Nice Mini, and I love it. It’s the perfect size/shape for carrying my make-up.
I just bought a vintage Chanel vanity case last week and did the same thing putting a strap on it 👍🏽
love this trend ! I've got a pink mini train case from Coach that I bought last year in fall sale and I have used it a munch! ( it is definately not an everyday " on the go" bag for me, but I use it on the weekends, when we go to the museum, lunch, or for a walk. )
I’d totally wear a vanity case!!
I saw one girl using GUCCI vanity case
And I was confused I didn’t know you use it this way😂 now here you are speaking about it😍
I’m gonna start saving now to buy DIOR or Channel one 🥺😭
Loved these comparisons. My favorite is the Gucci. Its affordable...durable...gives good vintage vibes...plus the entire underside of the top has a mirror....its on my radar. I would definitely carry it as a bag!🤗
I fell in love with the Dior carrier bag and box. Such a beautiful print and would be lovely if was available as a print or on handbag or scarf
I love how you are always thinking about the investment part of luxury and giving us the scoops and tips! Love you loads ❤️
Great ideas Sophie! You are so creative! Love the fact that you used the bag and bought the chains on Etsy and put them together! Brilliant move - and it saved you a lot of money too!
Great topic! I actually bought a Coach x Selena Gomez vanity case in pink in 2018... really love it... I think I might invest in another vanity case this year, thanks again for the tips x
Always enjoy ur videos! I must say, that black jumpsuit is life!!!! Love it! You look amazing I would buy that for myself u totally sold the look
I’m so early 😱 I’m really obsessed with your videos and so happy to watch this new video❤️
You are so sweet! I am HONOURED that you enjoy them, thank you for watching my love!🙏🏽❤️xx
This is a really great idea, especially for those of us who don't have quite as much to spend!
P.S. I just saw them doing the SAME THING with Coach -- a cosmetics-bag-looking case, with a strap! Obviously, it's a trend.
I actually just ordered the Gucci canvas vanity one. I saw it today and fell in love with it. The LV Nice Mini was not in stock. I love the look of the Gucci way better. Great review. Thank you!
I think I'm obsessed with this idea!
The vanity case is soooo beautiful 😌
What a great suggestion! Thanks Sophie!
Love this - thanks for sharing and the research!
A million likes on this! I have also noticed this "trend" and find it very interesting. I just purchased the LV Nice in BB for travel and love it!
I just got the Gucci as I was trying to mix things up a bit so I got this one instead of the LV. Now on To Fendi LOL!
Thanks Sophie !! Is so nice to see all the comparison it gives you the true picture. Thanks !
Thanks for sharing!! I wasn’t a fan but it’s been on my radar lately. I really love the Chanel vanity case, just not sure if it will fit my iPhone Xs. The price is too good not to buy 🤣😂. Love your Dior Vanity Case too!! 😍😍
Really agree with using these as handbags. I would have said, NO! Now I agree 100% with what you have said and shown us. This is genius. The prices are really amazing. Thanks for such a super video.
Great tip. Just found a vintage "Benchley" case ($70) from my obsession: Mark Cross. The leather is so soft and the craftsmanship is impeccable.
So happy to see you back on Wednesday. 😁
I ❤️ your channel. Keep it up!!!!
I like the idea it’s different and will stand out ✨
It reminds me the Versace 'jewelry box" bag for the 2019 Milan runway.
Wow, I never thought of this. You’re so right!
I have the Nice bb and I have been using it as a bag since purchasing last year x great video extremely insightful xx
Great comparison video. I really like the thick woven texture of the Dior Vanity Case. That quality makes a huge difference now in the decision making process of choosing a vanity case/purse. What a fabulous alternative to spending $2,000 on a designer purse! Wow! Just attach a strap and go! Fantastic Idea!!! Love that!!! 💕 💕 💕
Brilliant idea! 💡
I love vanity cases! I had noticed the Dior case before. It is beautiful! As usual, great content, Sophie Sho! Much love!❤️❤️❤️
wow, this was hands down the most thorough run down of all the vanity cases that are out right now. you seem so down to earth and knowledgeable about the product. thanks for the great vid!!! :)
OMG I am watching this video while doing my makeup. 💄🙏💅I am in heaven!
Enjoy your day my love!!xx
Hey Sophie, this is great idea for anyone who wants to luxury but also has a budget to consider! Thanks for the video and ideas!
I personally think the vanity cases are way too bulky for me to wear as a handbag.
The Gucci is not near a bulky as you think. I have one
I love it, especially on girls with a bit of a Vintage flair.
Oh wow, excellent idea. I have 3 designer bags (all of which are vintage as my finances have changed dramatically and can never afford an up to date luxury bag now) this is a very affordable way to own something new. Definitely no shame here because as you have just shown here, these companies are now making a nice profit by selling vanity case handbags when all one has to do is simply buy the vanity case and a strap/chain. Thank you so much for this vlog. There is hope for me yet😂❤️
YAY!! its a sophie video day!! This was such a clever idea!!!
Would love to see a video on WOCs and your opinions on them, im thinking i might save up for one... If everything goes well, me and mum are going to france next year, and i was thinking of getting something to commemorate the trip.
It’s always good to see your name here Jadie!!!! I hope all is well with you!❤️
France will be an amazing trip, Paris in particular is so “fairytale” ☺️ I’ll look into WOCs and will shout you out when I do the vid!😋xxxx😘😘
@@SophieShohetOfficial Its always good to be here!! Your the best :D
I really hope it all comes together and we go! Im so looking forward to it, especially Paris, it looks so beautiful!
Ive only been to Paris twice, despite living so close and I still find it magical there! You’ll have to try and squeeze london in too!!!xx
@@SophieShohetOfficial I sooo wish!! But mum wants to do Croatia so wont have time for England :( Definetly another time!! I really want to make it to England for a couple of weeks!
I agree, I recently purchased the Gucci ophidia for the same purpose you described. Love your videos!
Now these days I just bring my phone in my pocket but I for some reason really love your videos 😂
Love this! The material on the inside would potentially be harder wearing as well, like the Louis Vuitton deauville x
I do like the idea of being able to fit my lunch inside, it could be good for taking to work. At the moment I carry 2 bags so that’d be a plus. This also reminds me of how men’s leather belts are cheaper than women’s, for essentially the same thing.
Reading the comment section on this video and I think you should do a video for the ways to wear & style the vanity case as a handbag.. i’ll be looking forward for that one 😘
I.think It's a great idea maybe a smaller vanity case as this size looks a bit bulky but when paying alot of money why not get something for two purposes. Thanks for the advice you are so down to earth and relatable ❤💙
I just received my Gucci vanity and definitely I’m going to use as a hand bag ♥️
I agree this is a great idea. I actually feel they make a great carry on bag for travelling!
Love the vanity case, it's beautiful.
Hello! I know I’m years late for this convo BUT I want to say the difference between the LV Nice BB and the largest LV Vanity size is night and day-NOT just the strap. The Vanity has a HARD top and HARD bottom. It’s way bigger and heavier than the BB. It’s a true, old-school vanity case. The strap is because it can be incredibly heavy once it’s filled with toiletries!
Thanks for a wonderful review!
Very helpful comparison. Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant video with an excellent 👌🏻 idea 💡, Dear Sophie! I’m not personally a huge fan of vanity cases in general, but in this moment they are particularly worth your money 💰. Especially for Brands as Chanel which are usually in the high end expensive range. And in the worst case scenario, if not wearing it as a ‘normal’ bag 💼, you can always use it for travelling 🧭 as this is what they are originally made for! Absolutely LOVE 💓💕💓💕💓💕💋💋💋👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼, this video! Thanks 😊 for sharing
I think it’s a really good idea to use vanity case as a handbag, especially because it’s more affordable and I would be worried about cosmetics leaking inside and staining, yours looked so good with the metal chain
I think its a great idea ! also if you work and need something rugged but fashionable this is it .. I'm definitely gonna try and get one ..
Sophie your skin looks so dewy and healthy! Do you still use the Dior cushion foundation?
Sophie, this was a great video, thanks!
Thank you for the great tip! I never have thought but I definitely LOVE the idea. :)
Love it! Saw the Nice last year and thought of it. I think they are refreshing, lady like and customizable! (😊 I also buy what I like and do not care what others think--out of the box).
OMG I'm defiantly buying the mini nice from lv this is such a good idea thank you!! also in my country I see a lot of girls buy the jewelry glass box from lv (box scot) and add a strap to it or twilly scarf and they use it as evening bag
I don’t quite like the look... It really just looks exactly like what it is... a vanity case on a strap. It kinda reminds me of the LV toiletry bags that everyone uses as a clutch. For one, they still just look like toiletry bags. And secondly, to me it just screams “this was the only thing that I could afford that kind of resembles a bag”.
Someone who understands me. A sigh of relief.
I totally agree..
I absolutely agree with you..if I cannot afford such an expensive bag I would rather buy a cheaper bag instead of trying to put together a DIY bag and wear something that is obviously not not created for this purpose..
@@addieblue111 I am so with you.
addieblue exactly! I Iove me some high end designers, but if the only thing I can afford is the smallest preloved toiletry bag, I’d rather spend that 250 on a brand new coach or kate spade that’s on sale
