hello everyone and welcome back to my channel my name is Kristina Braly i'm an anesthesiologist
wife mom youtuber i make four to five videos every single week and would love to have you back
so please consider subscribing without further ado we're gonna launch into the first handbag
reveal of 2022. now i did tell you in my previous like wish list slash like 2022 luxury goals that i
am not going to be as like heavy-handed with handbags this year i think i've got a really
great collection but i said there might be one handbag that i'd be interested in
re-adding to my collection in 2022. not long after i posted that video it came across my my my path
and-- very interesting story it was from a reseller website -- consignment -- pre-owned
luxury website that i had not ever really shopped from before except maybe one time and
interestingly enough.. it was it was absolutely gorgeous it was very similar to the previous
bag that i had owned which--again--you probably already know at this point if you followed me
for any length of time um but basically i bought it and it got stolen like mid-shipment . so i'm
like "where's this bag" it never showed up, it never arrived and basically i've been working
with them for like 30 days to get my money back because they have to like declare it
lost or stolen or whatever... and then they have to file an insurance claim with theirs
and blah blah blah. and anyway long story short i got my money back and then i was like on the hunt
and i was i was i had my options like quite open and i will get more into this but i wanted
a very similar color if not the same the same size and i wanted it to be in really good condition
the first one of these these bags i've actually bought three of this handbag now because
technically the second one never arrived but i did buy that one i just got my money back because i
never got it the first one was slightly older i want to say it was around a 2012 and it was red
so now you know it was a size 35 birkin and i absolutely freaking love that that bag and
i really don't understand what was going on in my right mind when i sold it like i don't know
i really don't know i can't i do not know what to tell you it was um momentary lapse of judgment but
um i told myself when i realized that i regretted doing that i told myself that i would only buy it
again if i could find the exact color i wanted and the exact size and in even better condition
than before and for a reasonable price so what i ended up doing was i went on another website
which again we all know the story by now i bought it and it never arrived and so my
my money for that bag was tied up in like you know 30 days of processing and claims and then getting
the re and like attestations and then like getting the refund back so then by the time that i had
the refund my money back in my hands i was like all right i'm only gonna look one time and then
if i don't see it out there if i don't see my bag my perfect bag out there i'm going to wait
another three months and i'll check back and see if anything new has popped up well lo and behold
i found the exact color size and condition that i wanted and i found it from a website that you
guys know i love and shop all the time um you know it's no surprise which one it is i'm not going to
leave you hanging but everything everything that i love um in terms of the current moment like what i
think are a good value especially with regards to hermes and chanel and louis vuitton i'm going to
go ahead and link in this video just as to provide some added value to you if you are looking for a
bag and you want a great deal these will be my like stamp of approval this is something
i think is a great buy and you can shop those to your heart's content and i'll leave those linked
in the description box from that website i found this bag now the first bag bag number one of this
bag red bag number one of this was previously sold to me advertises rouge casaque which is um a very
like tomatoey red color when i got it i always get my bags authenticated okay even though i trust
the people that and the resellers that i do work with on a regular basis i red is a very particular
thing with hermes they do a lot of different ones with it's like very subtle sometimes the tones and
differences between them so it can be very hard to actually authenticate accurately what red it is
and lo and behold it was not rouge casaque it was geranium i did let the reseller know that they had
mislabeled it or whatever and they said that's fine but you you can keep it or you can send it
back and i was like i love it i'll keep it so i had a geranium togu leather 35 centimeter broken
and then again i like had a mini stroke and sold it i don't know what i why i did that whatever we
all know i regret that decision immensely and then the second one that i bought was advertised as
rouge kasak or rouge decor i cannot remember even though it was just a couple months ago um
it was advertised as something very very similar was not advertised as geranium um so i was very
excited again then i was very disappointed because it didn't come in so lo and behold
as i was doing a search for a red 35 centimeter birkin this one came up again on one of my trusted
reseller websites and it was an incredible deal it was in perfect condition way better condition than
my first one was it is a newer model and it's just it's a better red i gotta say the first red that
i had was geranium this one is rouge kasak truly rouge casaque there is no doubt about this birkin
that it is let me just show it to you ladies and gents allow me to introduce to you another red
birkin 35 centimeter togo leather this bag is 2019 might be 2020 actually i think it's actually 2020.
it still has the stickers on one of them i'm going to take it off but
if you've ever had like a animals bergen or kelly you kind of know the difference
between one that's been well used and one that has barely been used at all there's a
certain stiffness and like rigidity to the leather even though it's soft leather there's a certain
amount of give and like slouch that one has when it's been used quite a bit um or it's just older
and then there's the ones that don't have that yet this one my first red birkin had a lot of slouch
you could definitely tell it had been well loved and been well used even though it was in great
condition it was just it was just a little bit softer smooshier it had kind of slouched a little
bit at that point this one it ain't like that this one is sitting pretty just like these in the
background here it is like brand spanking new like nobody's used it i think because it's a 2020 maybe
that might be the case but look at this by yeti so this red is even better than my previous one
and it's the red that i originally wanted right so i feel like it it was meant to be at long last
a year later we've arrived back to where i originally was trying to go with this
i didn't overpay for this bag it was basically at or below retail which is incredible so i just i'm
over the moon so happy with this gorgeous bag i already put my red purse organizer in here from
i think this is from samorga i can't remember i do love me some 7rp inserts so i need to order a
red one if they have a red color then i'll get one in 7rp but look at her so pretty love it
there's absolutely no slouch to her yet although i mean i don't mind slouch but it's really nice
to know that i've got one in such good condition that she even still has stickers on her feet no
marks inside smells amazing like a freaking saddle shop i'm over the moon so i now have like almost
every color of the rainbow i don't have an orange which is okay because i don't like orange and i
don't have a blue but we got pretty pretty much basically everything else i feel like i need to do
like a rainbow birkin reel or something that would be really fun so yeah that is my reveal of my
handbag let me know if you want to do if you want me to do any sort of like what's in my bags or
what what can fit inside of a 35 centimeter break in you know big bags are coming back so
you know something to think about i always have had in the mindset like to go the opposite of the
trends when it comes to pre-level luxury because then you get a better deal on prices and then the
pendulum swings back your way and you've made out like a bandit so um i have been as you probably
well know collecting 35 centimeters very very very purposefully i it's been i've been doing it
on purpose and that is because if you try and buy like a 25 centimeter or very small bag and of any
brand pre-loved reseller what have you it's going to be overpriced it's going to be above retail
and a 35 centimeter bag might be at or below retail depending on condition and year and
desirable color blah blah so yeah this is i i really lucked out with this one i really really
did and again i will link some of my favorite current purchases like current buys current
offerings from my favorite reseller website which is where i got this one in the description box
