Giant Organizer for Giant Bags: CloverSac Emma 36 Review
CloverSac reached out to me and sent their Emma 36 handbag organizer to me to review at just the right time. I needed a giant organizer for my Coach Field Tote but didn't want to buy one because I'm on a low buy year. The Emma 36 is just what I needed. I'm impressed by how light weight it is, the pockets, the center insert being attached by straps rather than Velcro, and all the different ways you can manipulate it to fit different bags. I also tried the organizer in a few other large totes and in my Speedy 35. It was a tad large for that bag but the snug fit actually works well for me and helps give the bag shape.

Review: Longchamp Le Pliage Tote
I wanted a Longchamp Le Pliage for years but put off buying it because I thought it was too expensive for a nylon bag. In this video I talk about whether I think it's worth the price, wear and tear, how I use it, and how weatherproof I've found it to be.

3 Tips to Make Your Louis Vuitton Noe More User Friendly
It's a great bag as is but these 3 simple alterations will make your Louis Vuitton Noe much easier to use. 
  1. Add snap hooks from your local hardware store to the strap. This will allow you to remove the strap without having to bend and unbuckle the leather. It will also allow the strap to hang from the bag in in a more visually appealing way. 
  2. Add a shorter strap. Mcraftleather on etsy offers short straps in black, ebene, and vachetta that are perfect for this purpose. 
  3. Add a slide to the drawstring. This will make it SO much easier to open and close the bag rather than having to tie the strings. Why didn't Louis Vuitton include this in their design? This slide is perfect for epi bags in all colors and this one is perfect for vachetta.

3 Year Review: Louis Vuitton Neverfull Wear & Tear

3 Year Review: Louis Vuitton Neverfull Wear & Tear
With Louis Vuitton's terrible quality issues seemingly more and more common in the last few years it can sometimes be hard to tell what wear is normal or when you might need to take your bag into the store for repair or replacement. In this video I scrutinize the wear to my two Neverfull bags and discuss what is normal and what might not be. My ebene bag is three years old (new model purchased from Louis Vuitton) but my azur bag is several years older (old model purchased from Tradesy) so I compare those to see if there are differences in wear.

Review: Louis Vuitton Trevi GM
I think the Louis Vuitton Trevi is the most beautiful bag LV has ever made. That's about where my love for it ends, though. In this video I talk about the pros and cons of the Trevi and why I eventually sold the bag. ​

Review: Louis Vuitton Eva Clutch
I fell in love with the Louis Vuitton Eva Clutch when I saw someone wearing it at a winery in Italy. I had to have it. Fast forward a few years and I was able to add it to my collection by purchasing it preloved through ebay. In this video I'll discuss a mistake I made in the buying process, whether I love the bag as much as I'd imagined I would, ways to wear, and wear and tear.
