So much great info in this video. You and I have quite a lot of overlap in our collections and 99% of the comments you made I totally agree with. The one query I have is about epi leather. I’ve had a few epi leather bags and sold them quite quickly. This is because I’ve found the epi leather scratches and wears off so easily. Not long scratches but just tiny marks that remove the colour and show small white spots of wear. It frustrated me so much that I literally wore my rainbow twist once before I sold it. I remember standing in the checkout at the supermarket looking at the bag and thinking that’s it, I’m selling this delicate ridiculous bag.

I completely understand you, but….I honestly do not think these are issues with the design of all these bags, but they way you like to wear them😉. These bags are design to be worn a certain way, so when you try using them differently, you will encounter that you can’t 😅. I KNOW THIS, because I am like you and love the option of crossbodying my bags (perfect example my small CFs). I am petite so yes I could probably crossbody them all 😂😂😂 but they probably don’t look the best as they are not designed for that. 😊

On the denim bag, use two connectors. Instead of connecting the left side to the right size, connect the right to the right and the left to the left and let the extra chain hang inside the bag. If you need pictures let me know.

I recently bought a Fendi Baguette in grey chenille in Milan this winter and it came with two straps - a thicker shorter and a thinner longer one - both are in leather. I almost did not purchase it because the longer strap was not as long as I would have wanted for a cross body (I'm 5'4"), until the I was shown how attaching the two straps together created a comfortable cross body bag. I wear the thinner strap in front with the thicker strap in back and it has worked perfectly for me. The positive thing about your versatile colourful Fendi bag is that you can add any colour strap. Yes, it's a pain to not have a nice one with the bag, but it is such an uncommon and cute Baguette that adlibbing for a strap might be worth the trouble.

I'm so sorry, but u are taking shoulder bags and trying to make them into crossbody bags . The Dior saddle bag was only meant to be carried on the shoulder. It looks absurd crossbody. The Chanel classic flaps in this size also look their best on the shoulder. And omg ur beautiful denim flap is a vibe worn under the arm on the shoulder. The only reason all these colors on ur Fendi baguette make sense is because of the background color and the strap just adds to the design element . Putting an orange strap on it makes it so uninteresting . The most exciting thing about the Gabrielle is that u can have the straps laying across from one side and on the shoulder from the other side . Again it's not designed to be worn the way ur wearing it. Pls take my comments positively . I like ur Channel and I watch ur videos . Today, however , I couldn't agree to the points u made. I only felt that u want to make all ur bags into crossbody bags .

Hi - it is possible to wear the saddle bag without the strap sticking up. If you hook your strap at the highest point on the CD (not in the middle between the c and the d) then you can flatten the short strap to run across the top of the bag. Works every time. I tried on the new green saddle in Dior harrods last week (LOVE it!) and the SA was amazed when I showed him how to wear it without the short strap being in the way!!! I can send pic if you want 😊

Oh I am with you with the chain or strap length on bags!! why oh why can't the fashion houses give us the option to have the perfect chain length for us? The jumbo classic flap is crazy long strap and then the medium/large is too short! The saddle bag guitar strap that you had to buy separately is too short and non adjustable (I know they now offer a leather strap that comes with the bag but that is too late for me!). I also agree that the strap with your mulitcolour baguette is not nice. Even me as a neutrals girl - I don't think it matches the bag. Also when I tried on the fendi baguette in regular size you have to add the top handle to the longer strap to make it long enough for cross body but then you lose the top handle! Just make the strap adjustable!!! It's really not difficult!! Oh Dear! you've got me going now..... 😂

I totally understand why you are not impressed with the 2 tone neutral strap that came with the multicoloured Fendi baguette. I do get where they were coming from with it though. You could get one of their gold tone metal chains ⛓ to use with it instead. About the strap length on the Chanel 19, I notice it is common on luxury bags that the so called a x-body strap is often 5 to 10cm too short. Somebody thinks a luxury bag looks better as a shoulder bag ( and only on a tall person) but in fact I think a longer strap is in fact more elegant on most people. I heard this from a sales person in Ferragamo when I was trying on one of their top handle classic bags. I wish the luxury brands would listen to feedback about the necessary length for a x-body strap. I could complain about the x-body strap length on the Classic Chanel flapbag but I have done that a lot recently so I will give it a rest. I loved this video. Thank you very much.
