JERUSHA COUTURE SAYS GOODBYE! END OF AN ERA, LUXURY YOUTUBE IS CHANGING YET AGAIN.

The price increases have ruined this for us.

I hope she changes her mind. I just love her!! I’m so glad you decided to come back. You have no idea how much we missed you!

Thank you for addressing the changes. I find myself here on YT less and less. As soon as an influencer starts the sells pitch, I am gone. Yes, they are out to earn a living, but I am not their customer. Luxury unboxings are not my thing. I click on the new makeup and a few fashion hauls. I do enjoy your straightforward talking points about everything.

I feel like the economic situation in our households + influx in “influencers”/youtubers + ordinary people not being able to get said luxury items = decline in interest overall. It was one thing when I had money and couldn’t get a simple wallet or bag because of its popularity… now that money is tight, turns out, I didn’t want that after all 😂

I agree about Lydia. I rarely watch her videos anymore. I feel like so much of her content is garden-related and clothing tends to be brands she’s working with. Shea Whitney is another one that changed. I don’t care for the “10 things that make you look bad” or “Amazon items you need” videos. Apparently, they must do well though.

Love your channel and authenticity Melinda! I’m in the beginning phase to my own “luxury journey”. I’m finally in an age/financial place where I can afford things like this and I definitely didn’t grow up with luxury items. I’m realizing I’m entering this space at a weird time, a lot of people are leaving, the price increases are discouraging, etc. Videos about intentionality or mistakes/learnings have been calling to me. At the current prices, I don’t want to regret a purchase, so hearing from seasoned collectors about their learnings is super helpful. Some collectors also have bags they think are/are not worth the current price, those videos are interesting too. Share the wisdom! 😊❤

I’m new to this community. I watch smaller handbag YouTubers not just for the content but also because you like them are relatable, honest and entertaining. Deb just had a video about this topic. Her information was on point.

You are so correct. I have seen the changes in a lot of my usual youtube people. They are so fancy now. lol. It's so uninteresting. I find it amusing when my regulars all start wearing and promoting the same silk blouses. And the same old items from the upcoming Nordstrom sale. You know it's coming. haha

After all, after a while of collecting luxury handbags it just doesn't give me that excitement anymore. I haven't been buying luxury handbags and what quite interesting is that contemporary brand such as Coach is my new interests. Some of the Coach bags that i own are well-made and i can justify spending money on them over the over-priced items that i buy because of the brand.

I think people are sick AF with luxury price increases and increasingly POOR quality. I'm talking to you Chanel and LV...$10K for a Classic Flap, CnC machine made, painted and peeling leather...no thanks, I'll buy Vintage - 90's and earlier.

You’re really the only luxury YouTuber I watch. I watch makeup, decorating, and faith based videos. I love to watch flower and vegetable gardening.

Congrats on your 30k reviews!!!! Saw your video notification and had to check this out!

I really hope that Jerusha comes back as well. Luv the both of you💕

Thank you for being so transparent ❤I love your channel

I love your honesty and sincerity. Your channel is one of the very few luxury channels that I follow. Yours and Minnie’s (Minks4all) are probably my favorites nowadays.

Hi Melinda! TBH I have unsubscribed from almost every luxury channel at this point, I only watch the very few who I have watched for years and have interacted with on a more personal level ☺. I even unsubbed from Cassie, which I never thought I would do. But generally I don't watch hauls or shopping vlogs at all. I don't buy that stuff anymore. I would rather watch channels about reading, personal improvement, spending and saving wisely, cooking, dogs, and then lots of music and comedy content too. I like a little bit of everything, but I am just not interested in overconsumption content anymore. Congrats on 30,000!!

Since becoming Mom during the Pandemic, my style has changed a lot. I like simple, light (most nylon - Lululemon and Kipling) bags for everyday. I still look at and buy luxury at least once a year, but only things I like and find functional rather than what's "trending" at the moment..

Congratulations on 30K. Love the photo of you on IG with your LV straw Cap! Keep enjoying it! I started watching you and YouTube lux almost 6 yrs ago to figure out what to buy in luxury. I still want to see others showing what they bought, why and how going use, wear/tear and styling so I can decide if right for my lifestyle. But not seeing many of those videos lately. Also hoping Jershua will return...she is awesome source of info and an amazing person! Have a wonderful weekend!

I agree that luxury YT has changed so much. I schedule only a small amount of time to catch up on new contents loaded by my YT-friends…. Including your channel 😍♥️🙌🏼 I’ve cut off watching most of the large channels. I can’t watch the large hauls/unboxing anymore…. Yup, overwhelmed by it all. I’m in it for the social aspect and the virtual friends I have made. My channel is so tiny and the last upload I did was months ago! LOL 😂 I might make a new video soon, need to find the time! 💕♥️🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼😍♥️♥️

So true Melinda, I have really cut down the people I follow.
