- Hey y'all, my name is Candace.
And today I have an unboxing for you.
This one is from Christian Louboutin, or Louboutin.
Gonna get somebody to correct me one day.
If you know how to pronounce it, let me know.
But this is an item from the men's line.
And I absolutely love it.
I actually went into the store
with my husband for his birthday.
He was picking out some shoes for me to get for him.
He thought he was going to get these boots,
or whatever, or shoes.
But he changed his mind.
but I saw this baby in there.
And I had such a horrible experience with them.
That's another story.
So I decided to go elsewhere and get it.
So I actually ended up getting this from Neiman Marcus.
I got it delivered the same day
because they offer same day shipping to Dallas residents
because we have a warehouse,
Not too far away.
So here it is!
- Awesome!
Yes!
It's a backpack, obviously, from the thumbnail.
I fell in love with this and knew I had to have it, okay?
It's from the men's line,
but I don't understand why they
give the men the better items.
This should be in the women's line,
It should be unisex.
To me it is, okay?
This is the Explorafunk small,
or Explorafunk S, small backpack.
This retail store, 1650, there is a larger size of this.
That was way too big. This one it's perfect.
It holds the necessities, plus way more.
And I'm going to show you exactly what it holds don't worry,
But it comes in two different color options, currently.
I did see where they had other colors available in the past,
but this is what they have now.
The white one was also adorable and cute,
but I couldn't do it because it doesn't have spikes.
And I really liked the spikes.
That is one of the first things
that attracted me towards it.
Let me show you all the details.
Already unboxed it, I took pictures with it,
and all of that.
Of course it has this. It has.
Yeah. I thought I had this and I was like, wait, okay.
So this is actually supposed to go into here. Oops.
I know now, so it has a sticker on the hardware.
I technically don't have to take that off right now.
I know you're supposed to, but I don't wanna.
So obviously red interior, I mean,
that's their signature for their red buttons, right?
And of course this tightens and loosens,
we'll take this tissue out officially.
It has a longer cross-body strap.
Absolutely beautiful.
It has a lot of detail all over the bag, as you will see,
but here's the strap.
It has Louboutin and has one of those like luggage type
of strap that you can wear it cross-body.
I think that's a nice, bold flex.
I shouldn't have worn a red body suit with this
because it's going to really clash.
I would still wear it with it
and it says "C.LOUBOUTIN" on the strap here and on the back,
it's just red, no type of print.
And then here they are gunmetal.
A lot of tissue to step it out.
I'm going to actually keep this tissue to restuff it out.
Here are instructions, okay.
So here's the interior here.
Nice red and bright, has that slit pocket on the inside.
There says Christian Louboutin Paris, of course.
And then there's a zipper pocket on this front side here.
As you can see, a ton of storage space
It's also the perfect size.
I don't like extremely big backpacks.
As far as designer.
Now for backpacks, I want to put my computer in it
of course I need it bigger.
This is the perfect size.
Also one of the best parts, the bottom, oh my gosh.
Such a bold flex, it says "Louboutin"
and "Christian Louboutin" even smaller
in this black down here, so beautiful.
There are spikes here, spikes on that side,
there are two zippered pockets, one on this side.
Anything in here? Of course not.
Wish I could find some money in there,
but that's not gonna happen.
Oh my nose itches!
This side also has a zipper pocket.
Anything in this one? Of course not.
And those are all the compartments, okay?
So, plenty of storage room
and space for whatever you want to
put in there, which is pretty sweet.
God, do I have a piece of hair here?
Okay, I'm going to grab a few things
just to show you what fits inside.
So I got one of my many pochettes from Louboutin
because this is a backpack
where I could fit whatever, basically.
So I'm going to put a few important products in here.
I have a couple of tampons, I have some hand cream.
I have some lip balm. I'm wearing a lipstick,
but I'm just putting that in there.
Just for example purposes.
I don't want to put a pen in there.
that kind of still freaks me out,
putting a pen in a designer bag,
but I know people do it.
I'm also going to throw my key fob
inside of my pouchette just so loose things
aren't in such a small, or such a large space.
It'd be hard to find things,
easier to find things with this.
So I'm going to loosen my drawstring,
take this and put along the back wall of my bag
Also, this is a backpack,
so I can fit more stuff than I would traditionally.
Traditionally.
this is my, if I can close it,
Louboutin medium agenda.
I'm quite sure this can fit in here.
I'm actually gonna slap this behind my pochette,
and it absolutely fits in there. Look at that.
I'm getting kind of full,
but I have a little bit of space left.
Let's say, can I fit a water bottle?
This is a water, says "Lemon Perfect".
This is not an ad.
This stuff is really good.
Minimal calories, zero sugar.
Whole pressed lemon water, basically, flavored.
That fits in there perfectly
for a nice beverage, if I wanted.
Course, I need my card holder, the Prada one.
Of course they have smaller ones,
but if this big one fits, you know, your smaller one fits.
So there we go. This is pretty heavy now.
So I'm going to stop this.
Of course, your phone is going to fit.
11 pro max, just to show you guys it fits.
That slides right on in there. No problem.
And of course, tighten your drawstring and you tuck those
under the strap, which I think is gorgeous,
which is, not gorgeous.
What's the word I'm looking for? It's genius. There we go.
And then it snaps with a strong magnetic closer like that.
No bulkiness along the sides.
Is there anything,
I forgot to show y'all the detail on this back.
Also red mesh.
Oh my goodness.
More logo. This bag is for the logo queen or king, okay.
There's logos everywhere.
If you'd like to make a statement,
this is the backpack for you, okay?
I just absolutely love it.
If you don't like to make as much of a statement,
the white one is a little less obvious.
It's little less out there, I mean.
It doesn't have the spikes or anything like that,
It's just white leather.
Of course, you'll see what I'm talking about.
but then clip, these hooks these, yeah,
the hooks for the longer strap on here.
Show you how that goes.
So clips on these back hooks right here.
See that? There are two on both sides clips on very easily.
One downside,
as far as this and some of the backpacks I've noticed,
these straps are not removable.
So if you do wear this long strap,
you will have to leave these arms. That is a con.
And I'll actually save my cons for later.
I just want to show you and quickly tell you,
you cannot remove your back straps.
You have to wear both at once. Here's the longest strap,
such a nice cross body bag.
It falls great against the body.
It doesn't pertrude or anything,
which is always nice.
Most of the bags I wear, I wear as cross-body,
but this one I actually wear most of the time as a backpack.
And you know that's how I've worn it
in the past few times I've worn it,
but sometimes you want that flexibility and versatility.
Great thing about the size of this, if you change your mind,
you can store the strap in there. If you want.
It's a really nice backpack.
Again, they give the men the good stuff, in my opinion.
Sometimes, even with regular wear a lot of gems,
you can find in the men's line.
And I actually have a video planned
for my top five backpacks, top six backpacks from mens,
not necessarily from this brand,
but from different luxury brands.
So look forward to that because there are some gems
that you might miss
because you're only checking out
the women's section.
Love it so much! I first saw it.
I almost missed it the first time.
Cause I walked in there and walked out.
This was against the front of the store because it was
brand new, brand new launch. It's also sold out online.
It went like hot cakes, like, wow.
Cause I almost ordered it online,
but I still ordered it Neiman Marcus online because I refuse
to deal with those heifers that were
in the Christian Louboutin store in Highland Park,
oh my goodness. Horrible experience, okay.
Excuse my language. I don't normally say stuff
like that on here but!
Sometimes people would like to make me ratchet. Okay?
And that's not a sight y'all wanna see.
But, nice backpack.
Pros: it holds a whole lot of stuff, okay.
Plus extra.
I normally don't carry my Louboutin agenda
in any of my bags that I'm wearing.
But to have it fit in here is a huge bonus.
I mean, it's a backpack.
You're supposed to be able to fit things like that.
You know, but some backpacks are super tiny
and they don't.
Another pro, if you love logos, they're everywhere.
If you love to make a statement, you can definitely do that.
But if you don't like to make too much of a statement,
this can still be worn in my opinion,
because it is black and black is a neutral.
It is not out there like a hot pink
where people be like, "what is that?"
I still feel like people will be like, "what is that?"
But if you can hide it a little better.
Maybe not because you have that.
This is not a bag I will wear in
the hood to go get something to eat or anything.
It's just not, just because you know, it's,
it's kind of flashy, okay?
Not kind of, a lot.
Especially when you tip this under the bottom.
Also, I forgot to mention these zippers at the front
had red accents on them,
on both of them.
Also, on the ends of the drawstrings, it says
Christian Louboutin, literally this logo is everywhere.
I love it. Oh my gosh.
It's such, it's so bold.
So edgy.
So me.
I can think of a number of ways I could wear this.
Continue with my pro's, multiple compartments.
What can actually fit in these pockets? Gum.
So my gum, I forgot to put it in here.
I can actually slide that in one of the side pockets also
AirPods. I have my AirPods pro, perfect fit.
So if you want quick and easy access,
this is a great pocket for it.
And there's also another one on that side.
You could put something else in if you so wish to do so.
Another pro, I don't feel like many people will have this
backpack because they don't consider Christian Louboutin
very popular anymore.
Very in, trendy, chic, all of that.
But we don't care about that.
And you shouldn't either you should wear
what suits your fancy, what you love, and all of that.
Cons: I had a con, but totally forgot what it was.
Cons. You can't remove these back straps,
which can be a problem because you might not want to wear
these and the longer strap.
But I feel like the longest, okay.
The long strap is really long.
So it was no way to like hide it. It was going to hang down.
So that could be a con,
if you want to wear it as cross-body,
you have to deal with these straps here,
hang down underneath, which could be a pain in the butt.
But that's just how it is.
I don't know why I did this because like the MCM backpack,
the Visetos backpack,
you can remove all the straps.
So you could literally wear it how you want,
with however many straps you want.
Another con, I'm kinda concerned about these spikes
and their longevity.
You know how easy they are to come off.
I don't see them, see it being an issue now,
but I'm just concerned with them.
Honestly, they seem like they're
under the fabric pretty well right now,
but you just never know.
So you have to be super cautious. That's a con.
If you don't want to baby your bag too much,
you might not want to get this
because this is a bag you have to baby,
unless you get the white version,
which does not have spikes.
You don't have to worry about that.
So from my first look, I decided to go super casual.
Like I did with the other look,
I showed you with photos,
and for this one I simply chose a red bodysuit,
sleeveless, paired with some light denim shorts
and my Prada gabardine sneakers.
And I think those complement the look nicely,
it breaks apart the black.
is not black on black because the black is on my
feet, not that that matters.
You could definitely wear all black look,
but as I think this is a lot nicer and it's more than likely
how I would be wearing the bag most of the time
for my second look,
I opted for a more dressy look.
I have on this black mesh body suit with bell sleeves,
along with some good American denim, distressed at the knees
with the sliv ankles.
And I paired this look with my black Botega mules.
And this is a nice and easy effortless, dressed up
elevated look.
this next look is in case you want to mix dressy and casual.
That is exactly what I did with this.
The blouse is slightly dressy
with the detailing at the back,
yet casual because it stripes.
And it's like a t-shirt type of material.
I paired this with dark denim shorts,
and my fav my Triple S Balenciaga's in black.
Lastly, I have yet another dressy, edgy look
The previous look was casual, dressy.
This is more edgy, dressy.
And this is actually a blazer dress sleeveless.
I got it at Zara a few years ago.
I have a plain black tube with some black paper bag shorts
that are high-waisted of course.
And I paired them with my Christian Louboutin
corner baby eighty-five ankle boots.
Totally forgot what they were called,
but this is a super edgy look,
definitely a great way to rock this backpack.
Definitely let me know in the comments, which is your fav.
Don't forget to include the one that I had the photos
inserted in the video for, that is look number five.
So I showed you five looks,
let me know which one you liked the best.
But yeah, I feel like it's a great price.
It's an awesome price actually,
because there's so many bags that are in a two and three
thousands and more, that aren't even this big.
Although this is a backpack, this holds a lot.
So as far as how much it can hold, the detailing,
quality, and all of that, the name, honestly,
it's almost close to the price of the pair of shoes,
you know, Christian Louboutin shoes.
So just look at it that way. I think it's a great price.
So that's another pro. It's a gorgeous backpack,
and I highly recommend checking it out
if you like it or love it, like I do.
I'll leave a similar video here in case you missed it.
Talk soon. Thanks for watching.
