"Balmain called me fat" was actually a video that introduced me to your channel! Been subscribed ever since. I absolutely love that your videos are not showy off but deliver an actual value for the viewers when it comes to purchasing luxury goods. You point out so many valid things I'd never even pay attention to because I am not yet able afford any of these and I have no experience in that. But when I'll get to the point when I can, I'll know how to invest wisely and not throw my money on a wind thanks to you and the effort you put into this channel besides being self-employed full time in another field😊I also very much enjoy your humble, down to earth kind of personality, the more you show it, the more I see why you've got successful in your life, you are definitely someone to look up to :)

Hello my loves! To any of you who are looking to buy one of these blazers, I hope this information helps. Things that I wished I’d known about are fit, how to get a discount, are they good for investing in (and selling for a higher price in future). Also, I’ve included a £34 dupe :D Thank you for watching, I hope you enjoy this! xxxx

It's a pity that no one making dupes dares to go full on with the shoulderpads. Those were what gave the dupe away. It is just not angular enough. In all honesty, the 80's need to come back. We need more shoulders. P.S. I really LOVE your channel and I love it that you always mix the high-end with the more affordable stuff, showing that both can work if you know how to do it.

I bought my first Balmain blazer a few months ago in the black basketweave fabric with gold buttons and I absolutely love it and wear it as much as possible. I had a “dupe” one, which I paid £20 for off ebay 12 months prior and never had the thing off, so I knew I could justify the price. I’m looking to buy another one in either beige or khaki with silver buttons and I actually rang Farfetch up today (which is where I got my black one from) because I couldn’t believe that the price of the khaki one I want is £2100 and I thought it was a mistake, but they just told me that they don’t set the prices and advised me to look out for offers etc.....i’m not paying twice as much, so will hold out until the price goes down....great video by the way and this would have been invaluable to me had I not already bought mine, but it was interesting to know that the softer ones are slightly bigger in size x

it's so many girls/ women on youtube who didn't do anything for their success, it got handed to them because they are pretty and often seems a little well to stupid. in the beginning of the first video I watched of you, I thought this was the case here as well. I couldn't be more wrong. You are so strong and have been able to work thru so hard struggles in your life, here I am putting the focus on your past abusive relationship, weight gain, and eating disorder. I can't put myself in your shoes here, but I do know what it can do to a person, and how it can tear someone down completely. You are such a hard working, dedicated woman, and so driven in your work. You wanted something so you worked hard so that you could achieve that. On your own. but most of all, you really seem to be a good and kind person all the way thru. you should be so proud of the person you have become. I am so proud of having a woman like you on this earth. I believe you are an inspiration to many, and a role model for the modern woman. Lots of love From Norway

I love the fact you model the blazers and talk about the material and fit in details.

Guess I'll have to keep an eye out for dupes since they tend to have thinner shoulder pads.

I LOVE my Balmain blazers, which I discovered because of your experience at Balmain. Like you, I fell in love with the style. I have an amazing black dupe I bought from IOffer. The fabric is very heavy, and the tailoring is fabulous. The cost was about $250(US).Then I purchased a grey pinstripe on Ebay for about $600US. I just bought a pink one from TheRealReal that was on sale for $1,100. (I forgot to mention that the pink blazer is brand new with tags.) These blazers are insanely expensive in the US brand new, so for me, used is the way to go. I also have a couple of $40-$80 dupes. I just don't care for them. It's the fabric, and some dupes are way too tight in the arms. ;-)

I’m in Australia and just got the M&S Balmain lookalike in navy with good discount offer online. It cost A$105. I read all the reviews and sizing advice and the buttons are plainer than classic blazer buttons but I can replace them easily. I got a size up from usual as website sizing advised, so it fits well and will button up and look good. I could manage a size smaller but it might not button nicely. I’m size 16 blessed/cursed with fabulous cleavage and I’m short but ordered 18. It’ll take some getting used to wearing the exaggerated shoulder again as I’m out of the corporate life a long time but at 57 I embrace the classy/casual for going out. I’m very happy with my purchase. The fabric is polyester, viscose, elastase and feels luxe and soft. Now I’m doomed, I will get one in every colour M&S ever offer this style in.

Really informative video! I watched it twice to make sure I got all the details about the blazer before purchasing. Today, I just purchased a Balmain blazer in blue from LUISAVIAROMA at 65% off. I never thought I would own a Balmain blazer as they are incredibly expensive, but this sale was too good to pass. It was originally reduced by 40% and then a coupon code for another 25% popped up on my screen. They're almost sold out now, but luckyily for me they had my size.

Until I can get a real one, I am fairly happy with my dupe from Decjuba (a company in Australia, they make something called the Carly Blazer, AU$169. Decent quality and in my opinion worth the hassle of getting it shipped over from there (I also hear Smythe blazers can be good dupes but they are still about half the price of a Balmain). Love this type of video, thank you for being so fun and informative!

I remember when I first heard of Balmain; it was when we got the first H&M in Sydney. Lots of people queued and the Balmain stuff went out quickly but I never got to look at them. Personally I didn't like the style but I kinda like the jackets and dupes you've shown because I have slopey shoulders and would welcome the "padding". I don't have a slim waist though my bust is big so I'm not sure a double breasted look would suit me but I think it suits you very well because you're quite slim. I like your vids and the tips and I do love blazers so it's something to keep in mind of. I do like the look with jeans but I don't wear jeans a lot; I'm more of a dress or skirt kinda person so I'd be curious to see how they go with a dress or skirt. Still it was fun to hear you talk and recommend sites! :)
