Today let’s talk about the void I am filling with luxury shopping, the unhappiness and the emptiness that leaves a hole I am filling with all of these luxury handbags, shoes and shopping in general…
This is an assumption, a comment luxury lovers hear a lot, that comes with the judgement we often receive for enjoying luxury items and spending our money in a way other people find frivolous, we are assumed to be filling a void, because why else would we spend our money on such wasteful items.
This video also gives a little more insight into my life, the struggles I have been through, the hard times and what would not have made them any easier.

I completely agree wholeheartedly. No material item fills the devastation of losing your parent, child or spouse. I’m in grief now and I cannot even think about buying a luxury item until I’m in a better state of mind.
Thank you so much for sharing this video – I think it's really brave to talk about this. I 100% agree with you and although many would say I'm 'materialistic' due to my passion for luxury, these luxury things could never fill the voids like the ones you have described. I'm also super happy that you're happy and content currently and I hope that lasts! x
I think that as long as people aren’t hurting anyone and they are happy people should leave them alone. I don’t understand why someone can’t be happy for someone who is thriving in their life.
Amen!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
My dear, this was beautiful and raw and real and totally relatable. 💗
Unfortunately that probably is the case for me. My kids went away to college and then began my lux handbag collection. So it does happen.
This is such a great video. I've had people literally tell me that I'm trying to fill a void with my collection. I've been through horrible times (very similar to yours!). I know you're right! I always know luxury pieces are simply materialistic… Of course they can't stop internal pain and for anyone to judge like that; I really have no words… You said it perfectly though and I have a very wonderful/blessed life! I appreciate this vid so much love. 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
If you know you know the rest of the world don’t get it. It’s just fun 🤩
You look gorgeous. Thanks for doing the comparison. Could you share more info about replica bags? Got mine @ gurep.com , We’ll see how that goes. Stay safe babe
I lost my direction on desinger stuff. Please update more about the designer bags. Thank you in advance. I have 40 designer bags from xsreps.com I don't know which one to pick this week.
They are just jealous they can't afford them 😂
The people who leave those comments can't possibly believe they are being kind or helpful. I seriously doubt they think "this woman needs saving, and my pointing this out may do the trick!" There are people who use shopping as a pick-me-up when sad, and then it evolves into an issue, but that isn't representative of luxury lovers. It certainly isn't up to a stranger to point it out in cases where it is true. As you said, it's more reflective of an issue in the commenter's life. Happy, fulfilled people don't seek to put others down. Simple as that. Thank you for so eloquently sharing your thoughts on this issue 💕💕
you don't need to justify yourself
What's your favorite store? My favorite online shopping place is xsreps.com .Each time they updating something new on its website, I will not hesitate to order 2 bags there. Everything looks perfect for me.
Oh I definitely am filling a void when I buy luxury. The void is called "I like nice shit."
Totally agree. I have always thought those who feel the need to cast judgment, and be critical, it’s a reflection on how they feel about themselves xxx
👏👏👏❤️😘 we all just need to do us and stop being so judgmental. I am doing mindful spending as I am trying to pay of some debt but I hate how people want to put others in little boxes. Keep buying your pretties as I love seeing your beautiful bags 💼👏👏❤️😘
this is great video, I really love it ! thank you
EMost of those people who JUDGE are just plainly jealous. They don’t buy these luxury items cause they Can’t. It’s called Sour Grapes!
I love your videos—they’re informative and entertaining. It’s interesting how some people judge and criticize you, yet they watch your videos and take the time to make negative comments. 🤷🏻♀️ Maybe it’s their way of filling a void? 🤔
Now a days everyone wants to judge others. It’s totally none of their business. End of day it’s up to us how to prioritise things and move on by not caring for ppl who don’t matter at all.
I am a luxury lover on a budget and when I save up for something for months and finally have it in my hands….I love it! I live alone, I have no kids (voluntarily), and I work VERY hard, so when I get that little beauty in my hands, I know I've worked for it and I thoroughly enjoy it as I have a passion for luxury. Yes I might not be able to afford the new LV bags I lust after, but the few LV items I do have, I always smile and enjoy them when I get to rock them. Broke my heart to hear your story, stay strong honey, and please ignore the haters Amelia, you do you girl! 😁💖❤️💕
The judgement comes out especially because the bags simply look GREAT!
They elevate any outfit. ANY outfit.
So how dare you!
You are so emotional today, what's the problem amelia, I love bagreps.com forever
How about doing a designer bag collection too ? I’m obsessed with the bags I got @ gurep.com . It’s hard to believe i’ve been shopping there since 2018 .
Very important video and I’m so glad you made this! While yes, I do love humoring the situation in my reels, it ultimately comes from the same place as you (and many of us) in this crazy luxury loving community. Nailed every point ❤️ thank you for making this ✨ and also sharing some of the pain in your life to give context of the kick ass gal you are today xo
You hit the nail on the head!!!! Totally with you girlfriend!!!
This resonates so much with me. I lost my brother, nephew and cousin within 18 months a few years ago, lost both of my parents to covid, lost my first baby at 21 weeks pregnant, lost another baby between my second and third children….. I am a firm believer that none of us are guaranteed tomorrow so we should embrace whatever gives us joy. I love designer items. They make me happy. Anyone who doesn't pay my bills doesn't get a say on how I choose to spend my money. 🙂
I love beautiful purses, shoes, clothes and make up and jewelries. I certainly enjoy looking at them. It’s no body’s business.
What you said about judgement is so true! Judgement of all kinds comes from unhappiness within. The types of people who make these comments are suffering from insecurity, dissatisfaction, pain. It’s not ok for people to be rude but I still try and feel for them! Great topic! 💗💗
Well, I like shopping because it’s fun and in particular I love handbags because they are beautiful and I love carrying them. No void here. No unhappiness, thank God. I agree that I can enjoy these things because I am happy. I just love bags! No one’s business how many I buy or what I spend on them. You shouldn’t feel that you have to discuss any of your personal reasons for doing what you do or discussing your personal feelings with a bunch of essentially, strangers. Keep doing what you enjoy!
Handbags don't snore or fart.
THANK YOU Amelia for sharing so much and fir adding clarity.
These last few years since I began my separation in 2018 have been filled with craters and voids, but even though I still purchased pretty things, they could never ever act as a fill, or rectify those feelings! It's all a privileged judgement when ppl say that. A myth.
💞
It’s things a lot of women like, isn’t it, that are treated as ‘frivolous’ or ‘fluffy’. I love handbags, makeup, perfume and football. People are OK with the football, but the first three are seen as lightweight or shallow pursuits. Well, up theirs. I like them, and that’s all that matters. There’s another YouTuber with a huge collection of luxury bags and I’m delighted for her – they look beautiful together and clearly give her so much pleasure.
Congrates on the new pieces you've got. It looks amazing. May I know how much does it cost? I found something almost the same from xsreps.com but cost $180 only. I just ordered mine.
1000% agree
If a guy spends thousands on fishing equipment to go and sit by a lake for hours no one goes up to him to ask ‘what’s wrong with your life?’. Can’t we just have hobbies we enjoy without it being dismissed?
This is such a great video!! I agree with everything you just said. Thank you so much for this message. I think I needed to hear this because I have been feeling a little guilty showing my bags around family/friends for fear of their judgment. I love the perspective you shared that if someone can’t be happy for you then it says more about them than about you. I’m gonna have to remember that and just live my life! 😀😀 thank you again and love your videos!
What can I say? I got mine xsreps.com orders last week. I love the quality and low price of the bags they are supply. For 3 luxury bags $500 only. Makes me happy all this week!
I’ve always honestly thought that when people say there must be a void people are trying to fill when buying luxury items is only because they are jealous and wish that they could as well and possibly they’re saying that to make themselves feel better, that or that’s what they’re doing so they think everyone else is.
Thank you for this video🙌🏼 I am a bag lover, and my favourite brands are LV and Mulberry👜😍 I am always getting negative coments on how much money I spend on my bags. I do not let it bother me- I spend my money on what I love🤗 You go girl🙌🏼👍🏼
Loving you dealing with the judging head on. How many men are obsessed with bikes etc football etc. 🤷🏼♀️ ok we might be a touch crazy but only on a good way lol
Hello, I love watching your videos and I 100% agree with you 😉🤗.
I wouldnt say that i am filling a void but i am definitely aware that i do tend to shop when i am bored. I used to travel a lot more and i dont anymore due to covid so i am left with a lot more free time. Which is why i have decided to buy a piano and teach myself how to play. 🙂
