  Thank you for watching this (incredibly long) video, everyone! I felt the need to mention I&apos;ve been airing out this bag since I got it (over two weeks now) and it STILL SMELLS 😩<br>But what do you think about Teddy Blake? Was I being too harsh? And are there other brands you&apos;d like me to review?

  Thank you for this! 🐧 I am so tired of watching luxury purse lovers give such glowing reviews for these non-luxury internet brand purses that they received for free. It’s so phony. Thank you for maintaining your honesty and integrity even as your channel (justifiably) grows!

  Yes on taking apart the bag. 🙌 It’s definitely more informative and beneficial for your audiences than gifting it. I’m sure viewers will much appreciate the truth of how these bags are actually made of. 🐧🐧🐧

  For that price point, I’d much rather shop at Tory Burch. I recently bought the Tory Burch Fleming and it’s absolutely gorgeous. I’ve considered purchasing from Teddy Blake throughout the years but there’s something about the brand that’s lacking for me that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. Thanks for this review! I’d hate to waste money on a bag, no matter the price point.

  I’ve been a handbag enthusiast for many years now and have always found the different types of “leather” I’ve encountered rather confusing. I had to go by instinct with what feels good or not good - smell is definitely an important factor. If it stinks, it’s bc the material used stinks! I’ve watched your other vids so I want to thank you for explaining the different kinds of “leather” that’s being peddled to us by handbag makers. I totally agree that a $750 bag should be able to pass the scrutiny that that kind of price tag deserves. So many luxury/handbag YouTubers out there are gushing over bags and sound like sales ppl doing it. I followed many through the years and have bought bags bc of their recommendation. But then months later when they do their “bags I’ve sold” vid tag, well guess what? The same bags they gushed over and swear were perfect they have now sold. I accept fully that ppl have the right to change their minds, but if you do a video hardselling your purchase (as if to convince us just how amazing your taste is), only to back out of it without even acknowledging just how wrong and misleading you were before, that just makes me question your honesty and intention. For example, one YouTuber said she sold her LV Lockme BB bag bc it was too heavy and went on chapter and verse why it was heavy - from the thick leather to the hardware and chain straps - all the things she had gushed at how beautiful those things all were and NOT A WORD abt the weight when she first reviewed it. Review, not unboxing! So now I don’t follow any of those ppl anymore! The worst are the ones with heaps of money (or credit cards) who do one haul after another. It’s just one purchase after another without really being honest about the products they buy. I hate the ones that don’t even know the size, leather type/materials, or color of the items they buy. It’s just “look at what I just bought” kind of mentality. But the most terrible are ppl who talk abt their bag but you only show the actual bag 20% of the entire vid. 80% of of their faces. The YouTubers I now watch are ppl who actually have something intelligent to say about the item/s they have. Thank you for adding your intelligent observation and opinion into the conversation about handbags. Would really like to hear your opinions abt Marc Jacobs’ The Tote Bag and Longchamp’s leather collections - I have them but don’t agree they are of such “amazing” leather quality as everyone on YouTube is saying. Since you asked, I give you 🐳😁

  🐧 After seeing all the raving reviews going on for years, it&apos;s nice and refreshing to hear a different story. &nbsp;The bad smell would be an immediate dealbreaker for me even without the other issues. I think for young women or girls who have never owned a 200$ bag, this might pass as &quot;luxury&quot;, but indeed, when you know better, this doesn&apos;t past the test. Thanks for your honest opinion and thorough review!

  So glad you did a review on Teddy Blake! Truly appreciate all the points you pointed out! The hardware does look and sound low quality. The leather definitely looks plasticky on screen. The problem with companies like Teddy Blake is they can’t simply claim to be a luxury bag company because they want to. Let’s face it, leather and labor cost are not that much, often it’s the brand value that we are paying, and companies like Teddy Blake do not have that 😅 Can we please do Polene next? 🙈

  Thank you! I had been on the fence about Teddy Blake due to the price vs. quality and the moment you showed it here and mentioned the smell I am so glad I recently purchased a Kors from eBay for under $200 for true leather that I actually like for this Fall. I love Dior but I can’t afford it, however it’s important for those of us who spend $200-500 on bags we need to know about brand quality issues like this. Appreciate it.

  Omg that company response though! Apparently the person who contracted the web content designer did not inform the rest of the employees that the leather is “ethically sourced.” That’s really bad.

  I really appreciate your transparency with this review. I feel it was so honest and I hope you don&apos;t feel bad about it. The response from the company is outrageous. And honestly I would never purchase bags from this company. This bag literally looks like it came from Marshall&apos;s or T.J. Max...🐧🐧🐧

  Thank you so much for this video! I’ve never been attracted to TB simply because I’m not a fan of expensive dupe brands and heavy influencer pushed items. I own some vintage Coach bags and an outlet bag from 2010 and I will say the vintage quality is unmatched! Excited for the Coach leather series. 🐧
