I TURNED DOWN HERMÈS IN MADRID & GOT THIS INSTEAD 👜

Added: 2026-05-09

[00:00:00]I'm not going to spend that much money to get a used up bag.

[00:00:21]Morning. Get ready with me to go on a one day shopping trip to Madrid.

[00:00:35]I am going to NS that's maybe that's mainly the reason for this trip. I want to get a few savings but then again I also want to try to see if I'll get a bag. I know that's almost impossible but I mean I'll try. for the major reason I'm going to MS and I'm going to Madrid. I think if you watch my last vlog you would know I would like to get um a bag a quarter bag but I also know one of the easiest way to get it is to have a relationship with a sales assistant. So, I want to have a relationship with a sales assistant in Madrid because Madrid is closer to Mia, which is where we have our apartment in Spain. I mean, I'm not expecting to get back today, but you never know.

[00:01:37]I forgot to mention the time. It is 4:52 a.m.

[00:01:43]Not this early because my train is for something 6:32 or so. Crazy how early I'm willing to wake up just to go shopping. But then again, it's a one day trip. I have to come back today and Madrid is 3 hours plus because I'm take I'm not taking the fast train. If I was taking a fast train, it would be 2 hours 40 something minutes. But because I'm taking the not so fast train, it is 3 hours 40 something minutes, which is not bad because the fast train was going to cost me more than I think twice what I've paid or more than twice what I've paid. So for this one and this one is first class train. So that's good. Or first class seats. Ah, I didn't show you what I just used.

[00:02:37]Now I'm going to use this.

[00:02:40]This is why I had to get up early because if I want to do all this, film all this content, I have to be early and they will take me to the train station in Merc. And it's not about to wait for me.

[00:02:57]Oh, my skin has been so good lately. But I don't know where is this coming from.

[00:03:09]It is now 4:55. I've been up since 4:30, by the way. But when I wake up in the morning, I need I need some waking up time. I need enough waking up time.

[00:03:24]When I wake up, I don't just open, you know, move.

[00:03:31]When I was in Nigeria, it doesn't matter how early I have to go out, I will shower in the morning. Like, no matter what.

[00:03:42]But living in Nigeria, stop me.

[00:03:45]You don't have to shower in the morning.

[00:03:48]You can shower when you get back.

[00:03:50]Just do your skin care, get dressed, and when you come back, you shower. I hope this sound is good enough because I'm literally whispering so I don't wake up and little man. Well, Andy was already awake cuz my alarm woke him, but I hope he's gone back to sleep.

[00:04:12]I'm currently using just one skin care brand.

[00:04:17]Well, not for my daytime routine. my night time routine. I use a le night cream.

[00:04:25]I really do like my night cream, but I'm going to change it when it's finished because I really would just like to stick to one skinare brand when it's working for me.

[00:04:38]And Codly is really working for me now.

[00:04:41]Like really really working for me. So today I'm going to be spending some of my money. I would say it's probably all of my husband's money, but then it's whatever I save from my allowance every month. So, yeah. Anyway, Abby gave me cash for Mother's Day and the Valentine's Day present because I told him I wanted a bag, but I ended up not buying it because I thought if I buy the bag in the UK, I'm not going to get my tax refund. So, I'm going to wait until I come back come to Spain to buy it. But now in Spain, well, I wanted a bag and a belt. So, a bag from Demellia. I wanted to buy a bag from Deia and I wanted a belt from MS. I didn't want to buy it from the UK because I'm not going to pay my tax refund. So, I decided to wait until I'm in Spain to buy it just because I know I'm going to get my tax refund.

[00:05:41]Um, so I'm going to be spending my Mother's Day present. Well, I'm going to be buying my Mother's Day present today and Valentine's Day present today.

[00:05:53]Probably will not be buying a bag. I'm not sure. Even if I'll be buying a bag, I'll have to go to um, what do they call it?

[00:06:07]Oh, what am I doing?

[00:06:10]I already used that.

[00:06:13]Oh, even if I'll have to buy a bag. Even if I buy a bag, I'll go to outlet. Designer outlet. I'm not sure I'm going to buy a bag. Well, the only bag I'm going to buy if I get offered is a cot bag.

[00:06:33]I do know the MS game. M air m see I've had this my sunscreen for the longest but I think it's expired because what the heck it's not looking like the other one I have at home.

[00:06:59]Oh, and it says I was checking yesterday. It says 12 um 9 months after opening. So today if I have to buy back, it has to be a quarter bag. I'm always ready to buy that whenever I get offered it. But then again guys, I'm not desperate to be honest. I just love the MS brand and that's it. I've always loved them brand from way back before I could even my first oran slippers and to be honest whether I get back or not I really they don't really mean so much to me but I would like to get one and that's why I would rather wait to get from Mer Hermes Hermes and that's why I would rather wait to get from Hermes directly than to get from a um than to get secondhand that is so pricey because I don't care honestly now if I do get a good price from a retailer or what do they call it secondhand whatever good price I probably might get it I was very close to getting a ke on vinted recently But I'm just like the whole idea of paying over six, you know, over eight £8,000 for a used dog item. I don't see. That's why I've not really bought a a bag cuz yo, buying a used bag for that price.

[00:08:49]I'm not understand the when I can get a new one. I don't care if it takes ages to get the new one. I'm not going to spend that much money to get a used up bag. So, I curled my hair two nights ago. Yeah, it's not bad.

[00:09:25]This one So, this is not the first time I'm doing this, but the first time it didn't work out like this with this one is that I I used water. Okay. And it turned out nice.

[00:10:16]I don't know. I plan to get possibly or slipper or slip. Actually, I don't know what is how they call it, how they pronounce it. Let me get my moisturizer.

[00:10:27]So, the plan is to get Oran slippers.

[00:10:31]Well, not that I really need I don't know. I think I need the brown or slippers.

[00:10:47]Always love the brown to be honest. That's what when I bought my first slippers, that's the color I wanted to get. But when I tried on the burgundy, I was like, "Yes."

[00:10:58]So, I think I'm going to get that. And I might get two belts. I might get a scarf. I might get a twillie or whatever they call twillie.

[00:11:10]I'm not sure. I don't know. But we'll see. But I have a spending limit. I give myself a spending limit. I don't want to spend more than that. Even though I like the good things of life, I also like seeing money in my account. like seeing a lot of money in my account.

[00:11:28]I love how my hair has turned out. Like it's so nice.

[00:11:38]That's why when I went out walking yesterday, my I had the scarf on because my rollers wasn't was in place.

[00:11:46]I was going to take it out yesterday anyway, but then when I knew I will be going to to Madrid today, I'm like, "Okay, I'll just keep it till this morning."

[00:11:59]One problem I have with my scalp is it is always itchy.

[00:12:04]Like always.

[00:12:08]This is I'm just going to make do with this because the other comb or the comb with the thingy, whatever they call it, is in little man's room and I don't want to wake him up yet. I'm going to use this thicker and fuller whatever whatever mousse.

[00:12:33]This must cost me I can't remember how much I paid for this mask. I think it will it will it don't disappear.

[00:12:44]Why did I rub it in? I think I was supposed to just put it like that.

[00:12:49]Here we go again.

[00:13:06]I've got thin hair so or thin fine hair whichever the color.

[00:13:13]So that's why I got that to see if I can if I can get some volume.

[00:13:27]I want to straighten my hair, but I don't know if I need it to be fair cuz I've got um yeah, kinky straightener. I'm going to be using this timer straightener straightener/ curler twoin- one straightener and curler that I got from the Tik Tok shop. It is currently 5:18 minutes. That's 5. We're leaving here at 5:40 something.

[00:14:06]Hey, I don't want to damage my hair.

[00:14:58]It's 5:45. Yeah, I know. Let's get them up just before we leave.

[00:15:06]>> This is really not the kind of curls I like, but this will do.

[00:15:18]>> Hi, baby. Baby, >> huh?

[00:15:24]>> Your what? Your pee.

[00:15:26]>> Okay. Say morning mommy.

[00:15:30]>> No. Okay. You know mommy's friend now.

[00:15:35]Say morning mommy.

[00:15:38]Say morning mommy.

[00:15:41]>> Morning daddy.

[00:15:43]>> Morning mommy.

[00:15:45]>> Say morning mommy.

[00:15:51]>> Good.

[00:15:55]>> I'm done.

[00:15:58]Yes, I'm done, baby.

[00:16:01]>> Good boy. Okay, guys. I am ready to go.

[00:16:05]I honestly do not know what sandals to go with or maybe to go with a shoe. I think this is my outfit, by the way.

[00:16:16]I don't know if you can see it.

[00:16:19]I'm thinking of going with this, but I don't know if this will be good to walk on all day cuz I going to MS. I think I'm going to go somewhere else. Just walk around and see see the city.

[00:16:37]I don't know if this will be comfortable to walk on all day. I think I've only worn this white sandals once in its lifetime. Oh, I've got 1 minute left.

[00:16:52]And I'm going with my Gucci bag that is freaking full. I think I should have gone with my with my um what's it called?

[00:17:05]My my low bag because that's really big.

[00:17:09]But I'll manage this.

[00:17:14]I'm coming now.

[00:17:17]I told you.

[00:17:18]>> No, it's 5:44 on my end. I'm coming now.

[00:17:25]Anyway, Andy, where's my glasses? Ah, this is the glasses I'm going with.

[00:17:34]Oh, yeah. I'll see you guys later. I'll probably Anyway, this is my fit. Well, not really my entire fit, but you get the drill.

[00:17:52]Have you got your phones?

[00:17:57]>> Is that the only bite you taking? on your knees.

[00:18:00]>> Are we on your knees?

[00:18:02]>> Why?

[00:18:31]Thank you.

[00:18:55]say all.

[00:19:14]My first train ride in Spain.

[00:19:20]I'm excited, but you know, I'm a bit like I hope I don't get lost. But yeah, I'm excited.

[00:19:39]I say a n I say This says a say goodbye.

[00:21:20]Say my darling.

[00:21:43]coming.

[00:22:14]You guys, I'm stressed out for so many reasons.

[00:22:18]The most important reason is well actually that's yeah two reasons actually. The most important reason is I'm scared because there's so many people I'm always like I don't know if I'm going to get this trip because I'm just like overprotective of my stuff.

[00:22:41]I don't know.

[00:22:47]I'm scared.

[00:22:55]Anyway, and also I'm a bit worried. I don't want to miss I don't want to miss my return train and I forgot my mic. So, I just hope you know you guys can hear I say you must Tik Tok videos.

[00:24:28]not so far.

[00:24:32]I think I might just vintage around me and I think I found one.

[00:24:54]have to use on the street because like use a lot of Ubers because navigating this public transport I just checked one of the location I'm going to So yeah, I think that might get more chairs. You can You don't have to buy anything.

[00:25:51]So that's where I'm not buying the entire I don't I want it to be the lastity.

[00:26:52]say You come say If you are a traveler, you really need to get used to using the map for walking. You know, there's a map for driving and there's another one for walking. Absolutely helpful to be honest. I can use the walking, the driving and you know the public transportation. Let's say if you taking a train, the bus stops and yeah, well that's by the way at this point I was getting close to where I was going to.

[00:28:27]To be fair, I had missed my way I think twice.

[00:28:38]say finally located this place. It is beautiful. Honestly, I feel like this thrift store is every woman's dream.

[00:29:05]Maybe not every woman's dream, but for the women that love shopping, okay, then you will love this place because there is absolutely no designer item that I did not find here. Chanel, Louis V, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, um, literally from ready to wear bags, Gucci, Prada. They had loads of um, Chanel bags, Chanel purses, everything. Just loads of it. I couldn't really film because they did not allow me to film.

[00:29:41]But yeah, they had um Burkin Curly.

[00:29:46]Really amazing. And then I walked to this other thrift store that is also very close to the one that I just left.

[00:29:53]I asked them if they had a male Rolex watch for male men because my husband has been looking around to get a Rolex watch and he's not been able to um find it. So, I asked if they had it and I sent pictures to my husband to know if any one of these watches are one of the ones he's looking for and I said no. But then they told me that they're going to they just opened and they haven't really opened officially. Like they just opened the store. So, they're tidying, putting things together, and they will open officially at I think about 10 or 11:00.

[00:30:26]I'm not sure cuz I was really early, guys. You guys saw that I left the house really early. So they told me to come back. So I had to leave. I went to another thrift store. To be honest, this place here, it did not look like a thrift store. It is a store where they sell other, you know, brand new items and stuff off. They also sell vintage bags. So I got in there and I was looking because the map told me this is the place. So I was looking and I couldn't find any, you know, designer vintage it. I had to ask one of the guys there and then he told me where to go.

[00:31:00]And as you can see, we're starting to see the vintage stuff of the bags. I think this store genuinely had more Louis Vuitton um stuff than anything else. But yeah, just a quick mirror selfie because why not? Or ot just showing you my outfit of the day. So I had to go upstairs to the, you know, place where they had all the designer bags. This store did not have a lot, but I mean they had a few and their price is actually good. I I would say the price is good. But to be honest, I wasn't looking to buy anything because mind you, my major reason for coming to Madrid was to go to Hermes. Hermes, I beg. I don't know, my pronunciation is not might not be correct, but I'm buying. Okay. Um, but yeah, so I came here and I saw different bags. I'm not a huge fan of Louis Vuitton because one, the logo. I'm not a big fan of so many logos on items and two is I'm boycotting um Louis Vuitton but then the Gucci bags I saw were really branded like brands everywhere and I also do not like you know even I like Gucci but not the really branded stuff.

[00:32:22]Hey.

[00:32:58]So you only have vintage for like three months.

[00:33:05]>> Okay.

[00:33:16]>> Yeah. Yeah.

[00:33:40]And yeah, there were other stuff. And guys, I saw this Coach bag. And my reason for getting this Coach bag honestly was because the bag I was carrying, the um Gucci bag I carried for this trip or I took for this trip doesn't have a zipper. And when I was there, Andy was always telling me, "Be careful. Be careful. Your bag pick pockets is always in these big cities. Make sure you're careful." And I was just not relaxed.

[00:34:07]Okay? And the bag was full. So it it's easy for someone to just dip their hands inside and pick something. The bag was full. So I was a bit, you know, restless. So that's why I came to the store and see if I could get, you know, something. And I saw this Coach bag that I absolutely love. It's a vintage um vintage Coach. I've never seen this bag before, ever. So I honestly do not know.

[00:34:29]I asked the lady if she knows the name of the style. She said she doesn't. It is just so beautiful. never been honestly. And guys, the bag looks so clean like it's never been worn. It is absolutely stunning. People, a lot of people really take good care of their of their item because I don't think if I ever have to sell any of my bags, they will be in such impeccable condition, like stunning condition.

[00:35:08]You know, >> but this is >> this new vintage. This one is almost brand new.

[00:35:20]>> Yeah.

[00:35:20]>> All of it is so >> How old is this?

[00:35:25]>> We don't know. We don't know because it depends on the when the person that got it had it already or something because it's brand new.

[00:35:35]>> Yeah.

[00:35:36]>> And it's big.

[00:35:39]>> Styling.

[00:35:40]>> This one is big.

[00:35:40]>> Yeah. I don't need a bag for styling. I need a bag that can like >> Yeah.

[00:35:50]The problem is it doesn't have zip.

[00:35:55]>> Yeah, but it doesn't have zip. I need a bag with zip to carry now cuz I'm in my bag.

[00:36:07]This is >> the coach.

[00:36:21]I'll get the fold this my Gucci bag inside. Put all my stuff inside. Yeah, cuz I'm not >> Huh?

[00:36:35]>> I'll see if my bag can go.

[00:36:39]>> Is this my bag when I carry it? Just made me uncomfortable like I'm not even walking fully.

[00:36:46]>> Yeah. Let me take a look.

[00:36:50]>> And the fact that it's vintage, it's not like the one now that it's everywhere.

[00:36:58]>> I just love this.

[00:37:00]>> Yeah, I know, right? This silver thing.

[00:37:03]>> Yeah.

[00:37:08]>> Yes.

[00:37:13]>> On my shoulder.

[00:37:19]So this is me trying it on and I just I literally just fell in love guys. I fell in love. It is a simple bag. It is not flashy and it is not one of these Coach bag that you know almost everybody has got like that is everywhere. You get what I mean? This is no shade whatsoever.

[00:38:00]And I think this bag was aboutund something. And I also got tax um tax back which is good. Most of the other vintage store I went to like the one the vintage store I just left the one with loads of Chanel bags and Hermes and all that did not do those um vintage stores don't do taxfree but this one does taxree which is really cool. So even though my tax was about €19 or so tax the taxree whatever the tax back was about €9 I you know I did appreciate it.

[00:38:39]And here I came back to the other store that said they are not open yet to come back. They have one downstairs and they have another one upstairs. So the one downstairs is for jewelries and the one upstairs is for ready to wear bags and the like. So I came to the one upstairs and you guys, I wasn't so impressed with this store, but I would say their price is not bad to be honest. I saw a few bags like this one from Valentino.

[00:39:08]That's nice. I don't know what's wrong with me lately. I've been so drawn to bags like this. Maybe because I'm a mom.

[00:39:14]And if you're an OG here, you would know. I never used to wear big bags. And then I saw this Bautga. I I'm not sure.

[00:39:20]Yeah, I think that's a BGA bag.

[00:39:22]Absolutely love it, but it's not my style anymore. I took a glance at, you know, the glasses section. That's a Jivoni bag right there. And this is a Gucci bag. Too small. Too small.

[00:39:33]Although I like this Gucci bag because the monogram the logo is not so pronounced.

[00:39:39]And then I saw these scarves. These are MS MS Emmes Emy's um scarves. I honestly wish I bought one of these because Anyway, so I saw the scarves, absolutely beautiful, but I'm like, hm, I would rather buy from the store to build my um spending whatever hopes of getting a bag in the future. So, I saw some Oruran sandals as well. This one looks really clean and I've been seeing the black on people lately and it is beautiful. So, I think my next um Oran sandals purchase will be a black sandals. And then this belt, guys, this is one of the reason I came to Madrid. I want to get this belt. This classic H belt. I saw this belt. I cannot remember how much it was going for, but you know, good price, probably good price, but the only thing that turned me off with this belt is the scratches on the hardware. And it is also not gold. Okay. I'm not sure if I can see it properly, but I think it wasn't gold cuz I wanted gold. If I had bought that, I probably would have also bought the gold cuz I'm I like gold.

[00:40:49]Silver is not bad, but I like gold.

[00:41:03]I also checked some scarves. They had some scarves there. And also this Coach bag. small, but you know, not bad. This is This is not bad to be honest.

[00:41:24]>> I also checked the ready to wear the clothes. I absolutely love this dress, guys. I really, really love this dress.

[00:41:31]I would have gotten this dress, but sadly it wasn't in my size. And honestly, 99% of the ready toeares they have here were just big sizes and I'm like I was so so not happy. But yeah, I would have loved to get this dress because this dress was giving classy, elegant, and I like the pleing in the bottom or whatever they call those things. Um, yeah, I love it. So yeah, and that's when I decided to look at the glasses because I couldn't find any. Oh, another thing I like is this twopiece set. this silk twopiece set. Absolutely love it. Love it. I wish it was in my size because I probably would have got it. I probably would have got it. The lady was like, "You can try it because they honestly do not even have sizes on them." But she was like, "You can try it." But I mean, I can tell when I see something that will fit. I can tell it will fit. And this wasn't one of them.

[00:42:27]So, she was like, "You can go try. You can go to the fitting room and try." I was like, "Nah, not interested. Not going to try." But I did really really like this. Really really like this as well because again it is silk. I'm I love silk and it's not every time you see silk but I'm sure since I've started doing thrift shopping I'll probably be seeing a lot of silk because designer items most of the times they use good fabrics, they use silk, they use wool and all that. And then there's this Gucci jackets that honestly not my style. And this bag guys, this Dior bag.

[00:42:59]Oh. Oh, absolutely love it. Absolutely love it. But then again, wasn't planned, not in my budget, and I'm like, nah. But I do like this bag. Okay, I would rather get this Dior bag to the Louis Vuitton bag that looks like this. I don't know what they call it. Is it the tabby bag or No, it's not the tabby bag. But yeah, this is where I found the Louis V glasses. Absolutely love it. I asked her if I could try it and she said, "Yeah, why not?" But first, I asked at the price because, you know, that's the most important thing. So, I asked at the price. She told me the price. I tried it on, loved it. I think I called my husband and asked my husband if he liked it and he said it's really nice. So, I decided to get it. And it was 60 something I think. I'm not sure. You can pause to check the prices cuz I did film the prices. And then I saw this bucket art. I think I had a few bucket arts that I bought but never won. Or maybe one one or twi once or twice. I tried it on, I was like, "Nope, not me."

[00:44:05]I bought a Coach bag, which you guys probably saw, and I just bought a glasses.

[00:44:15]Really nice.

[00:44:18]And yeah, I'm going to Hermes now.

[00:44:20]Hermes.

[00:44:22]I'm going to Herman now. Um, yeah, I bought, to be honest, the reason I bought the the reason I bought the bag, the porch bag is because, yo, I was just hyper sensitive. I don't know if that's I was so worried.

[00:44:42]So freaking worried because I was like, "No, I think I'm going to get robbed." Pockets. So, I was so scared of pick pockets. That's why I got the bag cuz this bag has got a zipper and my Gucci bag that I took does not have a zipper and because it is so full I was just a bit worried I could get easily accessible.

[00:45:07]It could be easily accessible by picket.

[00:45:10]So yeah and you guys were finally at Hermes and I go inside was greeted nicely. She asked me what I wanted. I told her, she assigned me a sales assistant. And you guys, this place took my time because I waited for so freaking long. Waited so long. And then finally the sales assistant came to me and she asked me what I wanted. I told her and she said, "Oh, you cannot get the brown or sandals because it's a classic. You can't get any of the classic colors in store. You have to get them online." I was like, "What?" So I said, "Okay, what about the belt?" Which is the classic H belt. She said they don't have that in gold at the moment. They only have it in silver and I do not want it.
