TOP 8 LUXURY ITEMS UNDER $800! from LV, CHANEL, HERMES, Gucci & Senreve | Mel in Melbourne

Eight luxury items under $800. These are so good. I own multiples. Hello, my loves. Welcome back. So in today's video, I'm going to be sharing with you eight items. I own all of these. I've actually got a couple of new ones to show you. I absolutely love these pieces, but best of all, they're all under $800. So if you are new to my channel, hi, I'm Mel. Thank you so much for joining me. Let's start off with Louis Vuitton because that's always a good start. And this is one of my favorites that I use daily. Number one, what is one item I really recommend? It is the Louis Vuitton mini pochette. Now you guys would have known I recently, I think by the time this video goes live, I think the winner would have been chosen, but you would have known that Caris and I gave one of these away. So this is actually mine. I had to get yours first, of course. And then this is my favorite one. I just think I'm a sucker for the Vivienne. It is so cute. It has got pink lining. And what can I say? I just think it's really cute. So that's the one that was my favorite. And the mini pochette, as you guys know, I use my Damier Ebay one all the time. I use it as a catch all. This limited edition mini pochette is a little bit more expensive than the regular. This comes up to $470 USD. So for the purposes of this video, I'm going to just keep it all in USD. So this one I do highly recommend. As you can see, this is mine, but I would have drawn it for, you know, the winner. So this is going to be for the winner. As you can see, there is two twinning, but I haven't finished on the mini pochette yet because I have another thing to show you. And in here, just see if I can. Yeah, I can just look like this. Same size box. So you probably know. I'm not joking when I say I'm a huge fan of the mini pochette because I added the Damier Azur mini pochette. Do you know, I actually don't own anything in the Azur. I used to own a bag, but I sold that quite a few months ago. So I actually don't own any piece. And I thought my favorite SLG from Louis Vuitton is the mini pochette. And this is getting harder and harder to get. So I'm really glad that I could add it. Now, another thing I remember in another video, I was asking you guys, I know I just gave away one of the Christmas ones, but I also know just the plain versions are really popular. Why not? We're coming up to the season of giving. Would you like me to give away another mini pochette, the Damier Azur or the Monogram? I can give the winner a choice. What do you think? Stop and comment. So this version is cheaper. It is $365 USD, whereas the other one was $470. So as I said, it's really great because you can use it as a catch-all. You can put a longer chain. It can be used as like a mini bag. My sister uses hers all the time as a crossbody bag. So that's my number one pick. The second item I own multiple of, and I highly recommend it, I love. I'm going to come at no surprise for those of you who watch my channel, are the Chanel card holders, specifically the ones with the snap closure. I love these ones because I use them as a mini wallet. They fit so many cards in there. I think they fit over 20 and there are so many designs to choose from. So I've actually done a video ranking my best to worst card holders. I'll link it above and you will know which ones are my faves. Obviously I told you these, but I've, I ranked them from one to 20 and I tell you the reasons why, but these are so good. It's a great leather piece to add. Plus it's Chanel and this one in particular, I mean, how beautiful that it's been embossed with all the camellias. So these sort of range from anywhere from five to $650. It depends on the design, but the basic ones, I believe about 550 USD. So if you're wanting to something from Chanel, I know the prices are increasing like crazy. The card holders are not too bad. They haven't really increased that too much. So I do recommend these ones with the snap button because you can just hold a lot more in these. And coming in at number three, I want to share with you one of my most durable bags that I've used so much and it is none other than my Senrev Mini Maestro bags. Guys, I have had this one for over two years and this one for a year and a half. What makes these bags so durable is because this leather is scratch resistant, water resistant. I'm not going to go into detail because I've done a whole video on these because it comes in the mini, it comes in the midi and it comes in a bigger size. I will link the video above. I do all mod shots and everything, but I love this bag because of its versatility. You can wear it four ways. And for those of you who've been following me, I'm still using their bags two plus years later. I still love them. So these bags I use so, so much. Very, very durable. Miss S loves this. This is her favorite. So these retail at 695 USD. So I do want to tell you about Senrev, which is really, really exciting. So this portion of the video is in partnership with Senrev and I'm so happy to announce they've released a new bag. So they've sent me this bag and I've actually used it a couple of times now and given it a bit of a test run and I really love it. And it is, this is their Aluna bag. It is brand new. They did launch it in Asia first, but now it is available to everyone. So they've just launched it, I believe a day ago. So because of the success of the whole Maestro line, I mean, as I told you, it's so versatile, functional, you know, it's for the woman that kind of does it all. This is like its cousin and you can tell it's thinner. It's a lot thinner and it is smaller, but it certainly packs a punch. It comes in two sizes. So it comes in this size. This is called the Aluna and this is in the sand, again, in the scratch resistant leather. And it also does come in a smaller size, which is the Aluna Mini. Comes in quite a lot of different colours, but I really liked this neutral sand colour. So exclusively for my family, because I've asked, you guys always keep emailing me about, can you get any special offers and stuff like that. So I have looked after you. So if you were interested in purchasing anything from their website, whether it's the Mini Maestro or the belt bag or the new Aluna bag, the first 20 people get this, their newest wave card case. So this card case, let me just show you, you open up snap button, which I love, and it just holds cards in there. So this one's got a yellow interior and it can hold like a heap of cards and it's really practical and it's worth $145 USD. So what I've managed to secure for you is there is a black version with a beautiful red interior. They have allocated just 20 only for the Mimfam. And so if you add anything over $395, which is pretty much any of their bags, you just enter MIMWCC, then the $145 will zero out. So you'll just be paying for the bag and getting a free SLG. I'm just so happy that my fam gets something a bit special. And yeah, so I really love this bag. Let me just show you, I was using it today. Might look small, but it actually packs a lot. As you can see, you know, from my little, I'll put a little fast forward thing in here. It's got the beautiful micro suede stain resistant lining and inside I have got a whole heap of things packed in and it does obviously fit a bigger sized iPhone, but as you can see, I fit heaps of things in there. And what I love about this bag is that you can wear it multiple ways as well. You can hold it handheld. It looks so chic. You can wear it on the shoulder. You can wear it cross body, which I particularly love this because it lays flat against the body. And then obviously you can use it as a backpack. I like putting it, you know, slung on one shoulder, but obviously you can wear it both. This comes up at $645 USD. And then the Luna Mini is $575 USD, which in my opinion is really good because these bags are made in Italy. They're made in factories where a lot of high end brands are made. And I can attest to the quality of these. Next up, I have got a pair of shoes to show you, and it is from Gucci. For those that you've been following me again, this is going to come at no surprise. And this is my newest pair of Gucci Marmont sandals. And I got these from Louisa V Aroma. Let me just cut this off because I am definitely keeping them. Let me just check. Yes, right size. So I already own two pairs of these and I love them. I can walk all day in them. It's one of the most comfortable sandals because it's not too high. It's got the thick block heel and it's just so, so comfortable. And I particularly loved this one because my other two versions have gold, but this one's got silver. Plus another reason why I really wanted this color is that I think it will go perfectly with my Rose Sakura Kelly. And I already matched it up and it looks beautiful together, which is perfect because summer's coming up. I want to wear them both together. So this one here I picked up from Louisa V Aroma because do you know the Australian website, the Australian website does not even sell this pink. And I don't even believe on the U S website, it does as well. But Louisa V Aroma had it got this pair when I saw it runs true to size by the way. And these retail for 770 USD. Coming in at number five, I had to put a piece of clothing and of course I had to put my MIM two in one silk blouse. You guys have seen this. This is the one that I created for LilySilk. I just think for silk blouses, there are a lot of things out in the marketplace, whether it's from Givenchy, Gucci, St. Laurent, they are all retail between 1000 to 2000 USD. So my blouse is a hundred percent silk. It is made of the same silk, same quality as their best-selling two shirts, but mine comes with a removable bow. You guys have seen me wear it before and it comes in this gorgeous claret red, perfect for the holiday season coming up, a gorgeous Emerald green, black, white, and also a beautiful pale pink. But the retail is only 119.99 USD, but LilySilk does have a promotion going on their site, which is if you buy one, you get the second 30% off. And then you can still use my coupon code, which is the highest among anyone. And that is just MIM15OFF. So that entitles you to an additional 15% off. So just say you wanted to buy two colors of this. And with my discount, the shirts end up being about 85, 86 USD. So I think for a 100% silk shirt, knowing you can wear it with, you know, done up as a bow for more dressed up look or more casual. And this time I've actually worn it because it's silk and it's, you know, so soft. I've actually tucked in the collar and then this way it kind of looks a little bit more like a blouse. You can just wear it so many different ways. I've just been experimenting, you know, the different ways I want to wear it. And then as you can see, if I want to, you know, match it up with a bag, I've just tied it into the Twilly on my Senrev bag and the whole outfit just looks really chic, but I've also used this as a belt. So I do really recommend a silk shirt. I just think it's luxurious. It can be dressed up or down and it's definitely a staple in my wardrobe. So coming in at number six. Now you guys might not all agree with me on this. I love them. What am I talking about? I'm talking about these little horses. Yes. These are the Hermes Rodeos. Specifically, I do want to focus on the single colored Rodeos because these tend to be the ones that are a lot more sought after. And if you've ever seen one of these on the Hermes website, I kid you not, it is gone in the blink of an eye. I've only ever scored one on the Hermes website. The whole few years I've been trying and you just have to have the fastest fingers first. And you know what? I don't just wear these on my Hermes bags. I, you know, I wear them on all bags. You can put it on anything. It's the cutest sort of accessory to dress up your bag. I just think you can mix brands. I always do that. You know, whether it's Louis Vuitton, I put this on my Louis Vuitton bag, as you know, as well. You do you, you can do whatever you want. But these ones, look, they are pricey, but I had to mention them because they're just so cute. And you guys know my love of Rodeos. Like, you know, how crazy obsessed I am with these looking at my Rodeo collection, which I will link above. These come in at about 550 USD. So yes, very expensive. But you know, if you were to see these on the pre-love market, they're all selling more than retail. Not saying you buy it to resell it, but I'm just saying if you wanted just to add one or two to spruce up your bag, I know it's not for everyone. I just think, you know, it gives it a much more playful touch. And obviously I'm a huge fan. Coming at number seven is another clothing piece. And you know, my style, I'm quite dressy. I would say that, you know, I'm quite feminine, but jeans are a staple staple for me. So I've obviously have to share with you one of my recent, not recent, maybe the last year or two, my favorites. And that is my frame denim jeans. So I own, you know, I think I have another pair upstairs, but I own multiple pairs of this. I have to say I used to buy more Zara jeans and I've just kind of stopped buying Zara jeans. It's just so worth it to buy a pair of denim jeans that may be a little bit more expensive, but they just last longer. So this one here specifically, this is called the Laskini crop. And for those of you, by the way, I'm five, four and a half, so I'm 164 centimeters tall. So just as a little tip, you know, most of the brands, they may just have the regular Laskini, you know, Laskini jean, for example. But if you get the crop, you just don't have to take it up as well because you know, all the models are like 5'10 and stuff like that. So when they wear these, I always tend to buy the crop versions because they just sit perfectly and they just fit, you know, right at the ankle. So these ones are so, so stretchy. Everything I will link down below, but if you haven't tried these, I do recommend them. I like them because they've got a longer zip. I like them like little details, like the back pockets sit a bit higher. They do make a difference to how your bum looks. This lifts it up a bit and gives you the illusion that it's a bit more rounded than it is. So everyone needs a good pair of jeans. So those are the ones I love, whether it's the skinny fit. I also own these, which I absolutely love as well. These are the cropped versions, but with a slight boot cut, they're just really flattering. So these jeans, depending on the cut, I think they're quite reasonable for designer jeans. I've seen ones go for a lot more, but they range from about $195 USD to maybe $275 USD. So if you haven't tried frame jeans before, I highly recommend them and I'll link my ones, which I really love in the description bar below. So coming in at number eight, which eight is a very lucky number in Asian culture. So let's end up with a little double Hermes reveal. And it's the same thing. As I told you, this is what I recommend. All of these things that I recommend, I personally own and I have multiples. That's why I'm recommending them to you. I really love them. And this one here is another one of my favorite, favorite SLGs. And I have given one away to, and actually I've given a couple away to you guys and it is the Hermes Bastia coin purse. So for me, I love this. I know it's a coin purse. It is, you know, supposed to be used as a coin purse because it just catches the coins perfectly how it's sort of made. But there are multiple uses of this. You can store, you know, your earphones in it. I've stored jewelry in it. You can store whatever. And I just adore this. I own this in multiple colors. Now, when I saw this pop up on the website, of course I wanted this color because as you guys know, I recently added my beautiful yellow Jouan Ombre Kelly and Jouan Ombre popped up. So it was the last one. I'm so glad I got it. And what a perfect match. I am obsessed with yellow at the moment, as you can see. Yes, I know a bit over the top, but isn't this cute? So, and then in here, yes, it is another Bastia. But the reason why I added this is because I love... First, I think Hermes does the best. They call it gold, but it is this beautiful tan color. But this one in particular was special because it is bi-color and I just really like it. It's tonal. This is in a different leather. It's much more softer and pliable. Can you see? It's much more softer. This Epsom is a bit more stiff and this gold also goes with my Kelly 32. So by the way, guys, yes, I still own my Kelly 32. I know I did a recent comparison on 25 versus 28, which I'll link above, but I still love the 32, just to let you know. So that sort of goes with my Kelly 32. So that is the last reveals. And these Hermes Bastias retail for approximately 230 USD. Sometimes there's a little bit of a difference between Epsom, which tends to be the cheapest and then Evercolor and so forth. I think they tend to be maybe like about 20 USD more, but they're around 230, 250 USD. So that is it, guys. That is eight luxury items that are all under $800 that I love. I own multiples of, and I wanted to recommend to you because look, as Christmas is coming up, these might make good gifts or even just gifts for yourself. I know a lot of you are wanting to add to your luxury collection. And I particularly love these, as you can tell, because I own several. So what was your favorite from this lot? I wanted to include a mix of everything. That's why you saw some shoes, some clothes, bags, accessories, so that you just get a variety of options. Please do comment. What's your favorite from these eight items? I would love to know. And I hope you found this video helpful. If you did, don't forget to give this video a thumbs up. Remember that if you wanted to make use of the Senrev code and get a free wave card case in the black and the beautiful, you know, it's got the red interior, my code is MIMWCC. But I will leave that with all the links to everything in the description box below. Thank you so much for watching.
