Hi everyone welcome back to my youtube channel if you're brand new welcome, I'm super glad to have you here
My name is Jessica also known as chic professor on Instagram and I make videos on luxury goods the pre large market and work where
And today's video is another combination of all
Three as you can see from the thumbnail and title I am going to be discussing this bag
So it's a little bit of a reveal, but you can kind of already see it
I will tell you this is a loot on never fall and the dami been print in the mm
Size and I will tell you what fits inside, and why I finally chose to buy it after going back and forth
Multiple times and kind of give you you know a little reveal of this particular version of the never full
So let's go ahead and get started so here. It is. I'll show you quickly what fits inside. This is the mm video
I'm not gonna do a big review on this because there's a ton out there
So I'm not really gonna worry about it too much, but it is the red lining it has a bunch of stuff in it
But the biggest thing is folders I can easily fit folders
I could easily fit a computer it fits many things
But for me the biggest thing is always can it fit folders and it can without a problem with strapping the and connecting the two
Pieces here, it's still very easily fit, so it's the perfect size for that
It is an early one so it doesn't have the pouch
But it does have the pocket and I very easily fit my wallet and keys and anything like that in there
So that is what fits on the bottom I would sort of take a few things out on the bottom
Is a piece of cardboard that my husband cut to fifth as a base shaper. We rounded the edges
So I don't have to worry about it messing with that
I did prefer a base shaper because when I put these things even though they're not super heavy
It's not anything really heavy like the computer, but when I put these things in it the bottom did sag a bit so now
It's pretty good at holding its shape. I didn't particularly feel the need to have a
Organizer a bag organizer. I really just needed the shaper
I think that an organizer is a little bit too bulky sometimes, and I didn't really need all of those compartments
I kind of needed everything to sort of fit like a black hole that's easier to get to
Sometimes when this is what I'm carrying so I am happy with the base shaper. I think that that is all that was necessary
So that's what fits inside in order to give you a sort of an idea of this particular bag
I'll sort of do that as I'm talking about my pros and cons so for me
There was never any question that if I got the never felt. It was going to be in the Dom ei been
It's not only really my favourite pattern, but I did like the treated straps
And I I don't love monogram because I find it a little bit loud and so
Um especially with this bag because it is something that's more well known
I like for it to be a little more toned down
and I don't love the
Azure print as much as I like the Demi a pen and also again the event has that treated leather
Which I do like because it does rain and snow a lot here not that I will necessarily use the bag in that weather
So that there was really no question about that
I find that is the most classy so in terms of cons
Why I sort of stayed away from the never fold for as long as I did first
It's really hard to find a good deal on an effortful
they still hold their retail resale value very well on the pre-loved market, and I just wasn't willing to pay a huge amount I
considered maybe buying this new but I
Since I have been going back and forth about it enough. I wanted to make sure that when I did buy it I bought it
At a price where I could resell it and make my money back
If not make a little bit of profit so when I did find this particular one for a very good deal
I felt safe in trying it out because again. I'm not super worried about losing a bunch of money
so that was a pro for this particular one was that I found it at a great price a
Con of course further nerville is that it's kind of everywhere
So it is a super popular bag and everybody loves it and you see it all the time in the area
I live in there aren't a ton of luxury goods
Just around people don't carry them very much
But when they do it's almost always this bag every in a while you get a speedy, but it's usually Louis Vuitton
It's usually this back on the campus where I work. I'm an adjunct professor and
Many of my students use this bag as their daily work bag
I teach at a private university and it's pretty affluent and so a lot of and it's also a very fashionable
University we have a fashion program and things like that and so generally people are
Into style and fashion and have a little bit of money, and so maybe they've invested in luxury
So you see this bag all the time I?
Am a very young professor, and I try to stand away from my students. I don't try to blend in like a student
I want to appear as a professional and so usually I dress very professionally
Although my whole spiel is right
You can still
Be young and feminine and flirty and all of those things that you like in your style, right?
I like for your
Identity in your style to be expressed even in a work where you can do that so I do try to do that
And so I definitely thought that this was the best print in terms of that I tend to see this and the monogram the most
Again if I want to stick away from logos and look more professional
This is the one to go, but this was still a bag that I saw all the time
It is a great
School bag one reason being it can hold so much and because it is kind of floppy so another con for me
Was that it doesn't have much structure. I really wanted
I just prefer structured bags
But I also think that they look more professional more briefcase like so so to speak
I the base cheaper definitely helped with this one
But it is a little bit more floppy than I would normally do I did realize that I usually I'm not like holding my bags
While I'm lecturing right? They're kind of off to the side, so it's not as big of a deal in terms of which bag
I'm carrying, but again if I'm just walking through campus
I do want to look professional as opposed to blending in with students
Which it's very easy for me to do if I'm working out there, and then I'm walking in my workout buddies. I just I
100% look like an undergrad and so I try to stick away from that
So that was a con however the popularity of this bag. It is so loved that's also a pro, so yes
It's everywhere because of that but also there's a reason everybody loves it and I just kind of decided
You know what to heck with it right? Hi? I?
I want to know what all the love is about and so I had multiple dummy band totes
I had the Chelsea. I had the Celaya I've looked at others and honestly
I don't love the other ones either the colouring of them or the designs and sometimes where the pockets are right
I feel like it takes away from the professionalism. I like sort of a streamlined sleek look and so
although this one isn't as
Professional as other ones I didn't love those for a variety of reasons and you can watch the videos about them
but I really wanted basically they're never full but with a zipper across and
That didn't really exist not in a perfect bag and so and of course no bag is perfect. I have dum
the
Brea GM which I do really like I wish that that was a little bit bigger, but that's in a neppy leather and so
It's a little bit different
Then the canvas and a little bit less obviously Louie Vuitton so that is that other cons?
That I knew about were
The issues with the handles so I know that these handles are supposed to be less comfortable than the vachetta
I don't find that to be a problem though
I wouldn't personally carry this with much more inside mostly for the bass not really for the handles
But any bag that you're stuffing and carrying is gonna be uncomfortable if it's really heavy after a while any kind of tote style so
That wasn't so much of the issue for me
I was kind of worried about the small straps, but I actually find them to be fairly comfortable
I don't really have any issue with that
But I did know that the handles are prone to showing where and so is this trim on the top which is
The issues with this bag the canvas is in really good
Shape it had a few marks that I easily cleaned up the base is in good shape
The only issues are the leather and of course I knew that I could get the leather
Repaired at leave a time I could not get the canvas repaired from looking at the purse forum
It seems as though and I don't know that this is true at all you have to go into your local
Louboutin and get a quote, but it seems like each handle cost about $90 to repair and this trim cost 60 I
personally feel like these handles are kind of
Worn in a comfortable way. Not in a
There's nothing structurally wrong with them. They just have cracks all along the bottom which is very common
and I think would just easily sort of happen again because as soon as you let it go it flops over and it's just
It's just gonna crack
So I'm not really sure that I want to get the handles repaired what I would consider getting
Repaired is this trim so as you can see this one has this kind of cut in the trim and that is the biggest
Wear on this bag. There are a couple other
places
where
The leather has some marking and towards the top it's lost some of the color. It's kind of chipped that
Not quite glazing, but feels almost like it's blazing
So I could get that whole thing repaired and I think $60 is really reasonable
So if that's what I got quoted, then I would probably repair that at some point but again
I'm not sure that I would repair the handles until they got to be structurally
Difficult I guess I have heard some people say that the replacing all the leather including the side straps is
between like
350 and 400 dollars, and then I've heard some people say that it's gonna cost $600, so I don't know where that discrepancy lies
But again if it was $60
I think that's pretty good
And I would probably get that done and then otherwise it's you know besides for the handles
it would basically be a brand-new bag especially if I
Chose to do the handles as well so the last issue for me. It was that again
I prefer a zip-top tote not only because I think it looks more professional
But also I live in a snowy wintery climate and so I thought I could kind of use that
More easily and travel with it if it zipped and all sorts of things that I generally don't prefer for an open tote
But I did realize as a brown bag, and I wanted a brown bag
I thought it would be nice to have a diamond Bend bag in my collection and I
Basically I have other totes
I have a Dior Panarea and a Prada luxe tote that are in a tan and white that
I only bring out on nice days
And I love them and so I kind of realized you know it doesn't really matter so much that it's open
Because I basically will probably use it in the fall in the spring in the summer
Less in the winter when that would be an issue so I'm super worried about the open top part
But that definitely was something that was a hesitation in me going ahead and buying this back
So if you don't have this bag and don't want it
I'd love to know why and if you have this bag, and you love it
I'd also love to know why I think it's really interesting to see why people really love it
And then why some people stay away from it so definitely comment that and let me know down below
