I established my online luxury bag store, Mommy Micah, a year ago in March 2019 because of my love for high-end purses. However, my passion for luxury bags started way back when I was young and inspired by my oldest sister. Growing up, my family was poor so I was deprived of beautiful things. Now that I’m earning a considerable income, I figured that it’s time to reward myself for all my hard work throughout the years.

So, I started collecting classic luxury bags as well as the trendiest styles per brand. But now, I’m interested to begin my Hermès journey. 

Hermès is one of the most luxurious brands today for good reason. Their bags are the epitome of grandeur and exclusivity. In fact, their website only features a small fraction of the brand’s full lineup of bags.

This is why I’m surprised to know that Hermès actually has around 80+ bag styles! I tried to include all the known Hermès bag styles in this article to help out people who are also planning to start their luxury bag collection. Read on!

1. Hermès Birkin

The post How to Tell Real vs Fake: Chanel Boy Bag first appeared on Mommy Micah - Luxury Bags Trusted Seller Philippines.]]>

Chanel luxury bags are one of the covetable in today’s fashion industry and a particular style that’s probably the most sought-after is the Chanel Boy bag. Named after Coco Chanel’s great love, Boy Capel, the bag has been a favorite because of its distinct boyish allure, larger chain straps, and the classic quilting.

However, its sheer popularity makes it more commonplace to see fake Chanel Boy bags circulating in the market. In fact, just a few days ago, I received this particular bag from a client of mine who asked me to authenticate it because she’s unsure whether it’s a legit Chanel or not. After Entrupy authentication, I then found out that it was indeed a replica.

As an owner of a Chanel Boy (in Small size) myself, I compared my authentic bag with my client’s counterfeit one to guide you on what to look for when buying this particular style. Read on to learn the 5 ways to spot a fake Chanel Boy bag from a fake.

5 Ways to Spot a Fake Chanel Boy Bag

1. Hardware

Upon initial inspection of my client’s Chanel Boy bag, I didn’t expect it was a fake as it looks eerily similar to my own original bag. I did notice some slight differences and one of these is the hardware.

That’s why it’s important to carefully inspect the color of the hardware. In the fake Chanel Boy, the hardware is much more golden in color compared to the authentic’s slightly faded gold chain straps. This situation also applies to most fake luxury bags, like the majority of Prada bags and the Gucci Marmont in particular.

So if you see a Chanel bag with a bright, vivid gold-colored hardware, it’s a telltale sign that it’s a counterfeit.

2. Shoulder Strap

Another thing you should look out for in a fake Chanel Boy is the shoulder leather strap. Although I’m not really sure if this is a foolproof way to differentiate a fake Chanel from the original, I’ve seen a lot of luxury bag vloggers include this particular detail.

Simply look at the shoulder strap’s two adjustable buttons. If they are located at the left of the strap, it’s a real Chanel Boy. However, if you found out that the buttons are on the right side, it’s most probably a replica. 

Disclaimer: I’m not certain if this detail applies to all fake Chanel bags but it’s definitely one thing you should consider.

3. Bottom of the Bag

This specific part of the Chanel Boy bag is the most obvious indicator that can tell if your bag is fake or not.

If you look closely underneath the Chanel flap, you can see the gold hardware protruding from the leather exterior just in between the clasp. On the other hand, the authentic Chanel Boy is excellently crafted without the gold hardware appearing at the bottom of the front flap.

4. Engraved Logo at the Side of the Bag

After carefully examining the bottom part of the bag, you should also look out for the side of the bag. Simply inspect the engraved Chanel logo on the hardware.

The fake Chanel Boy’s engraving used a thinner font while the authentic has thicker lettering. This particular detail is really more obvious if you compare the bags side-by-side.

5. Authenticity Card

In today’s market, it’s sad to see that most fake luxury bags also often come with their own respective authenticity cards in order to mimic the authentic designer handbags. This fact is also very scary because these so-called authenticity cards look exactly the same as the original’s and unless you have a genuine luxury bag with you, you won’t really tell the difference.

The same applies to the Chanel Boy bag. Upon closer inspection, I discovered a very small difference in the font size used in the authenticity card. The fake has slightly bigger lettering in comparison to the authentic. However, like I said, you can’t really tell the cards apart unless you compare them side-by-side.

ALSO READ: How to Tell Real vs Fake: Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere 

The Chanel Boy is one of the most sought-after bag styles today. Due to this, a lot of replicas have filled the market and some of these are even super high fakes which really look almost exactly the same as the original. Hopefully, with these 5 tips I shared, you can avoid buying fake Chanel bags.

Need Extra Cash during CoVid 19 Lockdown? Here’s 8 Work from Home Ideas to Try! https://mommymicah.com/blog/8-work-from-home-ideas-during-ncov/ Wed, 08 Apr 2020 11:26:00 +0000 http://www.mommymicah.com/?p=3152 As coronavirus cases continue to rise in the Philippines, the government advised millions of Filipinos to stay inside and work from home.

As coronavirus cases continue to rise in the Philippines, the government advised millions of Filipinos to stay inside and work from home. However, this is not applicable to everyone’s nature of work. In fact, for daily wage earners, the enhanced community quarantine announced by President Rodrigo Duterte only means one thing—no work, no pay.

This is bad news, especially since it might be for an extended period of time, in which thousands (if not, millions) of workers have no choice but to stay inside. Fortunately, there’s a lot of work from home options that can help you earn extra money during this public health crisis. And while some require at least an educational background or any related experience, others are perfectly suitable for almost anyone. To get started, here are 10 ways to earn money from home!


8 Ways to Earn Money from Home

1. Be a Customer Service Representative

With the Philippines dubbed as the new call center capital of the world, Filipinos would surely find plenty of home-based job openings as customer service or technical support representatives.

Applying for this job is fairly easy as no specific level of education is required. All you need is a good grasp of the English language and familiarity with software apps in order to be a call center agent at the comforts of your own home. Of course, having prior experience in the BPO industry (customer service/live chat support/email support) is a big advantage. Just sign up on freelance work from home websites like UpWork, create an impressive profile and apply to many job openings as you can!

2. Try Online English Tutoring

Do you have an excellent command of the English language? You’ll be surprised to know that you can easily qualify as an English as Second Language (ESL) tutor to international students. You can even be hired on-the-spot if you can speak English fluently in an American accent.

Typical responsibilities of this job include conducting one-on-one online lessons with a foreign student via audio or video call as well as evaluating the student’s performance and giving constructive feedback.

Tip: Knowledgable in subjects such as Math or Science? You can also apply as a home-based academic tutor to both local and foreign students struggling with such courses.

3. Sell Food Online

If you have a knack or talent in cooking, this is the best time to make use of that skill! Given that people are advised not to go out to buy their own food nor buy ingredients for cooking, you can either offer cooked or ready to cook food. Just create a page on Facebook or Instagram, post photos of the food you’re selling and start accepting orders!

Just be mindful of proper food handling. During this time, we don’t want to spread anymore virus as we already have enough.

Tip: If you think you don’t have enough audience or nobody will buy from you, try Facebook or Instagram’s sponsored ads to widen your reach and target specific audiences. 

4. Become a Social Media Assistant/Manager

Don’t just spend your time on social media platforms! Try earning extra money as a remote social media assistant.

Even if you don’t have much experience and technical skills, you can be hired as one. Just make sure you have at least organization skills (to manage and oversee social media content) and the right amount of creative skills (to come up with witty and engaging content ideas). Of course, years of experience in social media marketing can put you at an advantage and you can even be hired as a social media manager.

5. Stream Your Video Gameplays

Playing Dota or Mobile Legends all day won’t earn you money. However, if you try to live stream and share your video gameplays in platforms such as YouTube, Facebook or Twitch, you can profit from ads, views, subscriptions, sponsorships, and affiliate sales. 

All you really need are gaming skills and the ability to engage with an audience and you can easily earn money. After all, four in every five millennials play online video games so there’s plenty of profit-making opportunities for Filipino gamers.

6. Apply as a Content Writer

If you have a knack for writing, you can easily find home-based job openings as a writer, particularly SEO and web content writing. Even if you have little experience, as long as you can write well in English, you can start working from home and earn money.

Daily responsibilities typically include researching, writing, and proofreading content for blogs, landing pages, and e-commerce websites.

7. Unleash your Inner Vlogger

Another way to earn money from home is by vlogging. You can simply create your YouTube account and channel as a start. Realistically, this is not something that will provide you with cash instantly. You need to familiarize yourself with all the knitty gritty that YouTube requires in order to start monetizing your channel. 

Since I’ve done this quite a while now, (pero hindi ko kina-career masyado), I’ve written another blog post that would guide you in starting your Vlogging career. Check out Video Marketing 101: How to Earn Money from YouTube.

8. Start a Blog

This work from home idea involves writing blog posts for your own blog. You can monetize your blogs in so many different ways such as advertisements, sponsored content, and even selling products (affiliate stuff, e-book, etc.). You can even make passive income just by having banners ads on your blog! Again, like Vlogging, this also requires hard work. Here’s a great content on How to Make money with your Blog.

There are plenty of home-based job opportunities for almost every individual. These not only offer that much-needed freedom and flexibility from the typical nine-to-six job but they can also pay the same (and most of the time, higher) salary.

I hope you all are safe in your homes during this difficult time. If you like this blog post, feel free to share it to someone who you think might need it. God bless you all!

When 2020 entered, we all thought it was finally gonna be “our year.” Little did we know back then that the first cases of pneumonia reported in China on December 31 would turn to a full-blown novel coronavirus outbreak.

Officially named COVID-19 by the World Health Organization (WHO), it is a respiratory tract disease that causes an infection in your nose, sinuses, upper throat, windpipe, and lungs. It is considered as one of the seven types of coronavirus, which includes past virus outbreaks such as sudden acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS).

To learn more about the coronavirus, I made this guide which contains basic information regarding COVID-19 such as origin, symptoms, transmission, and prevention among many others.

According to WHO, COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by a recently discovered coronavirus. Health officials refer to this new virus as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

Most experts believed that COVID-19 came from animals, like the link between MERS and SARS. This is due to the fact that SARS-CoV-2 has ties to snakes, bats, and pangolins. 

In fact, many people who got the disease early were linked to a large live seafood and animal market in Wuhan, China. With that said, it is not fully understood where exactly COVID-19 originated.

How Does the Novel Coronavirus Spread

The first cases of COVID-19 may have come from eating exotic animals (bats and pangolins) sold in a wet market. However, the novel coronavirus now mainly spreads from person to person.

When an infected individual coughs or sneezes, he or she can then pass on droplets of novel coronavirus to other people as far as 6 feet away.

People can also get COVID-19 when they touch a surface where the virus is on, then touch their mouths, noses, or eyes. 

Most viruses can live for several hours (or days!) on an object that they land on:

  • Plastic or stainless steel – 2 to 3 days
  • Cardboard – up to 24 hours
  • Copper – 4 hours

Signs and Symptoms of COVID-19

Early symptoms of COVID-19 include dry cough, fever, and fatigue. 

More serious symptoms are shortness of breath or difficulty in breathing, chest pain or pressure, bluish appearance, confusion, and trouble waking up.

When not given prompt medical attention, COVID-19 can lead to pneumonia, respiratory failure, septic shock, and death.

How Can You Prevent the Spread of the Novel Coronavirus

Fortunately, there are several ways to prevent the ongoing spread of COVID-19.

    • Wash your hands regularly with soap and water for atleast 2 minutes.
    • If handwashing is not an option, use an alcohol-based sanitizer to temporarily clean your hands. Remember to wash your hands as soon as you’re able to.
    • Practice social distancing. You should stay home as much as possible but if you do have to go out, stay at least 6 feet away from others. 

 

  • Avoid touching your face. If you touch surfaces with COVID-19 then touch your nose, mouth, or eyes, the virus can easily get into your body.
  • Clean and disinfect your environment. Regularly disinfect surfaces you touch often (doorknobs, light switches, tables, toilets, faucets, and sinks) by using a mix of household bleach and water.

 

Is There a Treatment for COVID-19

There’s no particular treatment for COVID-19. 

If you have a mild case of COVID-19, you need to ease your symptoms by taking care of yourself through rest, fluids, and fever control. You can also take over-the-counter medicine for a sore throat, body aches, and fever.

For those with severe symptoms of COVID-19, you need to be cared for in the hospital.

Famous People Who Were Diagnosed with COVID-19

Anyone around the world can get COVID-19 and famous people (whether they’re an actor, singer, or a politician) are no exceptions.

  • Tom Hanks (American actor)
  • Idris Elba (English actor)
  • Sophie Grégoire Trudeau (wife of Canada’s current Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau)
  • Rudy Gobert (NBA player from Utah Jazz)
  • Albert II, Prince of Monaco
  • Charles, Prince of Wales and the heir apparent to the British throne
  • Boris Johnson (United Kiingdom’s current Prime Minister)
  • Andy Cohen (American radio and talk show host)
  • Juan Miguel Zubiri (Filipino senator)
  • Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III (Filipino senator)
  • Christopher De Leon (Filipino actor)
  • Iza Calzado (Filipino actress)
  • Sylvia Sanches (Filipino actress)

While the majority of these people are either self-isolating or getting better, there are other popular figures who died because of COVID-19.

  • Steven Dick (deputy head of mission at the British Embassy in Budapest)
  • Floyd Cardoz (celebrity chef and winner of US show Top Chef Masters)
  • Manu Dibango (Cameroonian Afro-jazz legendary musician)
  • Antonio Vieira Monteiro (the chairman of the Portuguese unit of Santander, Spain’s largest bank)
  • Ken Shimura (Japanese comedian)
  • Terrence McNally (American playwright)

Hopefully, this basic guide about COVID-19 opened your eyes to what exactly is this respiratory disease and how it continues to impact the whole world. Stay safe, mga mamshies!

Last June 2018, Instagram announced a new feature on its app called Instagram TV, or just IGTV. Despite its slow start, there are brands that have been successful and invested heavily in producing video content for IGTV. In fact, the platform is currently picking up speed to catch video-sharing giants (like YouTube) as there’s been about a 300%-1000% increase in IGTV video views, according to a report by Later.
So if you’re thinking about promoting your startup, do consider reaching your target market with IGTV as it’s far from being irrelevant. Here’s everything you need to know about Instagram TV in order to be successful in the platform.


IGTV Explained: Everything a Startup Should Know

What is IGTV?

Instagram launched a new video platform named Instagram TV (IGTV) to accommodate today’s viewing behaviors. People would rather watch digital videos than traditional television and it’s estimated that by 2022, video on mobile phones will account for 78% of total mobile traffic.

IGTV allows Instagram users to share vertical and landscape videos with a longer duration time in order to be discovered by other audiences and get up close with their current fan base.

IGTV works like an actual television—the moment you open it on the actual Instagram app or through its standalone app, you can start watching your favorite shows produced by Instagram users. If you don’t like the content, you can easily change the channel by swiping right to move on to the next video. Or if you really love what you’re watching, you can swipe up to check out more videos created by that specific user. You can even leave likes or comments similar to Facebook Live videos. 

However, despite being similar to television, IGTV aims to be more like YouTube than Netflix. Instagram wants to convert the younger audience loyal to YouTube to come and try out their new way to share videos.

Who Can Use IGTV?

Anyone with an Instagram account can use and create their own channels on IGTV. However, influencers and brands who want to connect with their audience can benefit the most out of this video-sharing platform. Not only can you get closer to them but you’re also leveraging yourself to more than 800M users present on Instagram.

Is IGTV Free?

Yes, it’s absolutely free! In fact, it’s one of the best social media platforms startups can utilize to promote their products or services. 

With IGTV, you can share your campaigns and stories freely through longer, permanent videos. This ultimately allows you to build stronger relationships with your audience without being limited to the type of content, format, and length.

What Does IGTV’s Release Mean for Startups?

Whether you’re just starting out on Instagram or have already used the app before, you should know that using Instagram is important to grow your business. With nearly 1 billion users logging in monthly and 70% of them look up a brand, Instagram is indeed a platform you shouldn’t miss when it comes to marketing your business!

Now, you’re probably wondering where does IGTV come in if you can just simply stick to posting pictures in your IG feed. Do know that when you create video content, you can actually receive atleast 38% more engagement than images alone. And if you still need a little convincing, you can just look around and see that video is now everywhere. More and more people are actually spending more time watching videos on their phones, in particular, vertical videos.

Of course, there’s probably no better platform to create those vertical videos than Instagram itself. Unlike YouTube, IGTV gives you more freedom to shoot in portrait orientation. It pushes for more interaction and engagement which is one of the most crucial marketing aspects startups should look into in order to achieve success. Furthermore, IGTV is a platform where users can instantly (and easily!) browse any visually stimulating content, owing to its fast-paced and non-vocal format.

How to Create an IGTV Channel?

Creating an IGTV channel is easy and straightforward enough for startups just starting out on Instagram. There are two ways you can do this: from the mobile app or through the website. Here’s the step-by-step process to guide you.

Mobile (from the Instagram app itself or the standalone IGTV app)

1. Sign in to your account. Or if you still don’t have an account, sign up now!

2. Select the settings gear icon found in the top right of your Instagram feed.

3. Click “Create Channel” and you’re all set up.

Website

1. Open your selected web browser and go to Instagram.com.

2. Sign in to your account and go to your profile.

3. Click IGTV to get redirected to a page.

4. Select “Get Started” and follow the instructions.

How to Create Videos on IGTV?

Creating videos for IGTV is similar to the process behind IG stories. You don’t actually have to make high-quality videos in order to succeed in IGTV. However, don’t be fooled as the new platform is a way to level up the content you make in your Instagram Stories.

In fact, IGTV is originally launched with vertical videos in mind but due to popular demand and some important realizations, Instagram decided to cater to horizontal (landscape) videos too! Now, more businesses can benefit from this including startups. To get you started, here are some of my tips on making engaging video content on IGTV.

1. Shoot With Your Native Camera App

Do avoid using the Instagram app itself as it limits you from getting high-quality shots. Opt to shoot videos with your native camera app instead to have more control over the shots and ultimately keep the video rolling in between takes to keep things efficient.

2. Invest in a Smartphone Mount

You may find that it’s harder to produce steady videos when shooting on your phone. In order to avoid any shaky footage, invest in a smartphone mount so you can clip it to any tripod.

3. Use a Microphone

Achieve a higher-quality sound in your IGTV videos by using a microphone. It’s especially useful if you want to record voiceovers or if audio is an integral part of your videos.

4. Edit your Videos

If you want to achieve professional-looking videos on IGTV, you need to edit them. And while there are free video editing softwares on your phone, some of them don’t support vertical videos yet and most have limited features. Use professional video editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut on your computer instead.

Are There Limitations When Creating IGTV Video?

Unlike Instagram Stories, IGTV gives you more freedom when sharing videos with your followers. Do keep in mind these technical specs when creating a video for the app.

    • Length – 15 seconds up to 60 minutes 

Note: The whole 60 minutes is currently available for Instagram-verified accounts or those with a large following. Normal accounts have a limit of 10 minutes.

    • Size – 650MB for 10-minute videos while 3.6GB for videos up to 60 minutes
    • Orientation – Both portrait (vertical) and landscape (horizontal)
    • Aspect Ratio – Instagram recommends to use the following aspect ratio: 9:16 (for vertical videos) or 16:9 (for horizontal videos). For video thumbnails, an aspect ratio of 1:1.55 looks best.

However, do note that the display of Instagram videos is automatically cropped to an aspect ratio of 4:5 (in IG feed) or 1:1 (in IG grid)

    • Video Format – MP4 file format
    • Video Thumbnail – JPG file format

How to Upload Video on IGTV?

Now that you have probably created your very first IGTV video, it’s time to start uploading them on the platform. Here’s how you can do it.

1. From the main screen, click on the IGTV (resembling a TV) icon found on the top of your feed.

2. Tap the “+” button on the top right corner and choose a video to upload.

3. Select “Next” in the top right.

 

4. Type a “Title” and “Description” to let your followers know what your video is about.

 

5. Add a Cover Photo by tapping on the video frame at the bottom. You can choose a thumbnail from your own video or upload a new custom cover photo.

 

 

6. Click “Post” to publish your video.

How to Share an IGTV Video?

After uploading your IGTV video, you have to share it in order to keep your followers updated (whether in or outside Instagram) on your content and possibly hook other people. Read on to learn more!

    • Share Within Instagram

You can actually add your newly-uploaded IGTV video to your Instagram stories. Simply follow the steps below.

1. Open the IGTV video that you would like to share.

2. Tap the paper airplane icon

 

3. Select “Add Video to Your Story.”

 

4. Add additional text, stickers, or filters if you like.

5. Once done, tap “Send To” button.

6. Click “Your Story” then tap “Share” to post it in your stories

    • Share Outside Instagram

If you want to share your IGTV video on Facebook, Twitter, or any other sites, follow these guidelines.

1. From the IGTV menu, open the video you want to share.

2. Tap the three dots at the bottom of the screen.

3. Select “Copy Link” from the pop-up screen.

4. Paste the said IGTV video link to share it with users outside of Instagram.

Can I Earn Money on IGTV?

Yes, startups can earn a lot of money through IGTV!

However, it’s not by displaying advertisements on your videos. For now, IGTV doesn’t allow ads on its videos unlike YouTube. Rest assured, Instagram creators plan to expand the platform soon especially when it starts becoming big.

6 Effective Ways Startups Can Use IGTV

Fortunately, running actual “ads” on your video is not the only thing startups should consider when venturing into IGTV. To guide you, here are 6 effective ways you can use IGTV to boost your business’ profit.

1. Reuse Your Popular Video Content to Reach New Audiences

Already got a successful video content from your previous campaigns? Reuse it now on IGTV to reach new and unique audiences! 

However, do not simply repost the same video from your Facebook page. The key here is to give it a new twist for exclusive IGTV use. For instance, you can repurpose your long videos by sharing a snippet of it on IGTV.

2. Deliver Tutorial Videos to Introduce Your Brand

Try using tutorial videos if you’re looking for a way to boost brand awareness for your startup. Through this kind of video, not only can you introduce your products to the consumers but you can also teach your followers something that they still don’t know about your brand. 

It also doesn’t matter what your startup offers—whether you sell makeup products or offer yoga classes, you can take advantage of tutorial videos and share your knowledge with the audience. This makes them more likely to try your products because you already taught them how to use it and how they can benefit from it.

3. Create Exclusive Content to Build Relationship with Your Viewers

Creating exclusive content is the secret to building long-lasting relationships with your followers. And by giving them insight into what happens behind your brand, you can hook them through emotional connection.

Furthermore, you don’t have to deliver complex IGTV videos that may require extra editing work. You can simply stick to a personal approach. After all, people like to view authentic content.

Tip: You can also opt to share behind-the-scenes footage of exclusive events such as speaking engagements, social gatherings, and even industry trade shows.

4. Host Live Videos to Engage with Your Customers

If you want to improve engagement rates among your audience while still providing relevant information, hosting live videos is the way!

You can answer any questions your viewers might have or even give them shoutouts in the video every once in and awhile. Doing this will show that you are open and committed to discussion and can be trusted and relied upon.

For a successful IGTV live session, you can collect the most popular audience questions then take your time answering them. You can even use the question feature in Instagram stories to easily gather relevant questions from your own followers already on the platform.

5. Produce a Recurring Show to Develop Community

Since IGTV can be used as a television, you can also approach it in the same way. 

Try producing weekly (or even monthly!) shows and upload them at the same recurring time. Through this, you can profit from a dedicated fan base who will get accustomed to coming back and watching your videos on IGTV.

6. Feature Customer’s Success to Build Social Proof

If you really want to persuade your audience to invest in your startup, you should start featuring other’s success with your brand. After all, they are more likely to buy your products if they see fellow customers love it. So take advantage of this and invite some of your loyal followers when making your next IGTV video.

With the release of Instagram’s new platform IGTV, startups now have more freedom when it comes to sharing their videos with their followers. Through the longer vertical (and even horizontal) videos, more businesses can enjoy an increase in audience engagement and conversions.

Tip: If you’re on the lookout for a style with the signature LV monogram pattern, do not buy the Capucines as it doesn’t come in this specific version.

First out in the market back in 2007, this roomy bag is specially made for city life. In fact, many Hollywood celebrities are seen sporting this beauty.

Trendy Pieces to Include in Your Louis Vuitton Bag Collection

Along with the most iconic Louis Vuitton bags are trendy pieces that are emerging as a favorite of many luxury bag aficionados. 

Petite Malle

Inspired by the history of Louis Vuitton trunks, the Petite Malle features a rigid construction that embodies the shape, the iconic Monogram canvas, the gold-tone lock and fittings, and the sheepskin lining of the classic Louis Vuitton bag. It can be worn as a clutch or as a cross-body bag with its adjustable strap.

The Twist

The Twist is one of the trendiest Louis Vuitton bags that is similar to the brand’s classics. It follows the footsteps of other iconic bags and goes through constant reinvention. The Twist features the heritage LV Twist lock and has a distinct silhouette that fuses elegance with contemporary versatility and a youthful vibe. New details are added with each reinvention. Over time, Twist earned a reputation as one of Louis Vuitton’s most emblematic bags.

LV Capucines 

Louis Vuitton’s Capucine bag is one of the most sought-after LV bags and it may take you a while to get this luxury bag from LV shops. 

Named after the street, Rue Des Capucines,  in Paris where Louis Vuitton started their first store in 1854, the Capucine is available in three sizes, Mini, BB, and PM. It can be carried and worn in two ways. You can hide the front flap inside the bag to reveal the LV initials. You can also wear it with the flap shown, cover the initials, and instead reveal the  monogram flower.

LV Streamer

Adding a sophisticated touch to the New Louis Vuitton Classics collection, the LV streamer highlights the brand’s heritage. With its steamer-style chain, it features a signature style that the brand is known for. It also comes with a removable strap that makes it easy to carry and style. Its spacious zipped compartment and front flap pocket give more space for your essentials.

Fast Facts About Louis Vuitton

1. Louis Vuitton was a Personal Trunkmaker to the Emperor’s Wife

Louis Vuitton (yes, it’s a real name’s person!) was originally hired as a personal packer for Emperor Napoleon III’s wife, Eugénie de Montijo, before he opens up his first store in 1854.

2. All Louis Vuitton Handbags are Handmade

And it takes about a week to create one LV handbag.

3. All Louis Vuitton Bags are Waterproof and Fireproof

Yes, you may find this hard to believe but LV bags are made of water-resistant canvas and fireproof PVC. However, don’t take this as your chance to test the bags under extreme conditions. Be careful as it may leave unsightly watermarks on your vachettas! 

4. Louis Vuitton Never Put Their Bags on Sale

This fact makes every luxury bag lover sad and disappointed. You can never find an LV bag on a discount unless it was bought from a second-hand store. 

5. Louis Vuitton Handbags are Shredded and Burned If They are Not Sold Out

This is another sad truth for every bagaholic out there. 

If any of LV products are not sold after every season, they are sent back to its factory in France to be shredded or burnt. This is done to sustain an item’s value and class of brand.

Where to Buy Louis Vuitton Bags

Inspired and ready to invest in a Louis Vuitton bag? Before you finalize your purchase decision, you should know where to buy one that is authentic.

1. Official Louis Vuitton Store

Of course, the only way to make sure you’re buying the real deal is through the official Louis Vuitton chain store. You can find the list of official stores on their website

2. Online Resellers

Unfortunately, not everyone has access to a physical LV shop. You can also opt to shop online for second-hand LV bags at a cheaper price. 

Tip: Be aware as some online resellers are selling fake Louis Vuitton bags. You can always shop through the LV website to guarantee your items are 100% genuine.

With Christmas just around the corner, you must prep yourself for the upcoming Holiday parties. This includes your outfit—and no look is complete without a handbag.

Chanel, one of the popular luxury brands in the market today, has just released its latest Fall-Winter bag collection. This newly-released bags will take your Christmas outfit from good to great.

So if you’re ready to look your best this holiday, here are 5 new Chanel bags you need to own to complete every Christmas wishlist.


5 Latest Chanel Bags to Own This Christmas

 

1. Chanel Deauville Tote

The Chanel Deauville tote comes both in canvas and caviar leather. The bag features two handles (interwoven chained strap and leather top handle), the signature Chanel logo, and “31 Rue Cambon Paris.” It has the classic Chanel femininity while still having a contemporary edge look into it.

Named after a resort in Normandy, France, this tote—on first look—seems like the perfect bag to bring to the beach because of its size and distinct look. In fact, it was an instant favorite among bagaholics around the world when it was first released during the Spring/Summer 2012 Collection. However, this tote is also great for everyday use (and perfect for Christmas rush shopping days!), owing to its spacious interiors.

Did You Know? The31 Rue Cambon Paris” logo found on the Deauville tote refers to the address of Coco Chanel’s very own apartment and first boutique.

2. Chanel Statement Flap Bag

This bag does what it’s supposed to do—make a statement. And while noticeably different from the Classic Chanel flap bag, the Statement bag has some of the iconic elements of the said item but comes at a less expensive price.

It features a Chevron calfskin leather, gold hardware, and the Chanel “CC” lock resulting in an overall classic look. This bag comes at a decent size which means you can carry it around either for everyday errands or fancy night-outs during the holidays.

3. Chanel Gabrielle Hobo Bag

First released during the 2017 Spring/Summer Chanel Collection, the Gabrielle Hobo bag looks quite different from the classic Chanel bags like the Statement Flap bag. Nonetheless, it’s just as bold and timeless.

The Gabrielle Hobo is a bag perfect to be worn both during casual dinners to lavish night parties. It can also be carried in multiple ways—crossbody, over-the-shoulder, over-both-shoulders, thanks to its three straps. This gives the bag a completely unique and refreshing look that’s hands-free. However, don’t be fooled as this bag can also look just as great (and can even turn people’s heads in amazement) when held simply in your hand.

Furthermore, this bag comes in three different-colored hardware (gold, ruthenium, and silver) which can easily fit in any outfit you like.

4. Chanel Vanity Case

For those looking for a fun, seasonal, and creative piece for their bag collection this Christmas, the Chanel Vanity Case offers exactly that.

Inspired by the vanity train cases popular during the 1960s, this bag comes in a completely unique shape but still retains classic elements from the luxury brand like the signature Chanel “CC” logo as well as the quilted leather detail.

Chanel also reinvented the cosmetic vanity cases they produced during the 1990s by adding a long strap chain. This makes the bag fashionable and wearable in many various ways but the most popular one would be to wear as a crossbody bag. And while it may look small on the outside, it can store your everyday essentials and it even comes with two interior compartments and one zipped section to properly secure your things.

5. Chanel Waist Bag

If you want to go hands-free this holiday season (entirely reasonable especially if you’re going Christmas shopping), consider getting a Chanel waist bag.

Don’t be fooled by its compact size as it can perfectly carry all your essentials with you. And aside from its functionality, this bag actually offers style and fashion, too. In fact, fanny packs are the trend nowadays with your top celebrities seen carrying it around anywhere they go. 

The Holiday season is the time for heartfelt family gatherings, shopping craze, and even your yearly lavish parties. As such, it’s advisable to look your absolute best this Christmas. These new Chanel bags from the Fall/Winter Collection can instantly take your outfit from good to great.
