5 CLASSY AFFORDABLE Bags ELEGANT Women Own (AD) | Fashion Over 40

[@LuisDushku-r9l]

Love DUPBAGY the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other KZbinr can show off bags in as much detail as you.

[@CachoGupe]

The variety of textures in the hidupz pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.

[@prug2177]

I love how you incorporate high street brands and higher end designer items in your videos.

[@judithcatlett8518]

I’m going to sound like a broken record, but I do love your channel. Beautiful items, to the point and short. Believe me, that’s a good thing.

[@Gemmawhattowear]

😊 thanks so much Judith, I appreciate your feedback. It’s lovely comments like yours that keeps me making videos, so thank you 😊

[@lisadipasquale6121]

Teddy Blake bags are gorgeous. You have great taste, Gemma.

[@JehanineMelmoth]

A lovely selection of bags. One thing I’d love to see you do: low and flat shoes that still look elegant.

[@Gemmawhattowear]

Thanks Cathy. Great Idea I've been thinking of doing a video a video like that.

[@JehanineMelmoth]

@@Gemmawhattowear That's wonderful news! Thanks!

[@suebutterworth594]

Oh yes that would be perfect. I've just joined, have I missed it?

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I especially like mid-heels, in the 2-3” range more than flats.

[@vbachman6742]

I second the request for flats or very low heels. I can't wear shoes with heels more than 1 inch high due to arthritis. But I still want to look put together and wish I could wear higher heels but just cannot.

[@MN-nj5xb]

The first bag is BREATHTAKING. Loved it 💖💖

[@babs5968]

I have always adored good looking, high quality ( which doesn’t always mean expensive) bags and shoes. I think it’s because it doesn’t matter how big or thin you are or how tall or short you are it’s the accessories that lift the outfit.

[@RecruitingMaven]

Babs 59 well stated!! 👏👏

[@loristory83]

Really enjoyed this video! Lovely bags! I have my eye on a Polene bag. Thanks for sharing

I love your Croc bag! Stunning! Fabulous video👏 Beautiful examples. 😍😍😍

Thanks Soraya! 🌸🌸😊

[@sharonfarnsworth3325]

Love 💕 your sweater. Just bought two items from Lily Silk & will look forward to more! Another very informative video. Thanks!

[@Bonnieerina]

I always enjoy your videos so much. You always remind me that style is a gift for us all to embrace regardless of age or budget. 🌸 This video really helped me because I’ve been working on this area of my wardrobe. My question I hope you can cover in future videos is how do we know which bag we should wear with our outfit of the day? I have a few lovely bags now and have a few more to add to my collection in colors I have yet not purchased, but I never know which color or style to select. Thank you.

[@sarizonana]

Well I think a black quilted bag with a chain strap will always go well with everything and everywhere. Just 3 exceptions. going to the office : because it’s uncomfortable to carry a Chanel type bag to the office especially going with smaller sizes like I do, plus most people who go to the office also need to carry a laptop. So going to the office your best choice is the typical open tote similar to the never full. The beach a nice leather bag in the beach gets ruined so the of you are going to the beach or pool get a raffia bag. Weddings and black tie events for those occasions get the typical clutch. It’s a staple Other than these these 3 occasions I mentioned. get yourself a small to medium quilted bag with a chain strap and you are set for everything. Going to the mall, going to a nice dinner, a semi formal event like a baby shower, going to a bar, night club, the movies and well you get the point.

[@Britsishmum7695]

Ive just started upgrading the quality of my bags. bought I nice black Galitzine and a Grey Ted Baker structured bag, I’ve also now got the black CC disco, a tan 1/2 moon Osprey, a larger Tan square one from Toast and a nice pink Mulberry cross body bags. I’d recently won a perfect condition Gucci Tote but now I carn’t go anywhere to use it. Previously I had the cheaper high street bags which were perfectly fine but as I’ve got older I’m appreciating the better quality bags and I can afford them a bit better now even though I rarely ever buy brand new where I can help it x Ps loved the neutral outfit with the crocodile bag I’m building a capsule wardrobe that’s more sustainable and that gave me inspiration x

[@jeanetteturner7466]

You are so awesome. I love all your videos. Thank you for all the examples too.

[@Gemmawhattowear]

Thank you Jeanette 😘

[@jacquelinediaz5987]

Thank you for such classic and affordable looking bags! 💕💕

[@sarizonana]

From this list I own two styles My structured black though not so sure how much I can count it as a structured bag since the leather feels soft but it is a bag that never looses its shape. and I have my quilted bag. I came back here to say this video is timeless for every age group. Bag styles you will never go wrong with and colors that always will look good.

[@WildcatAggarwall]

I use the LYXBAGS as a work bag and have had no issues. It's a comfortable bag, has lots of room, and doesn't lose its shape. That being said, I also take care of all my bags and don't carry water bottles, pens, keys, or anything that could damage the interior.

[@carmenb1006]

Love love your videos - so inspiring every time. Thank you for recommending Teddy Black bags. They are beautiful-classic and elegant.

[@nikkil764]

I’m looking for a camel colored bag to add to my collection but getting exactly the right color is hard. Some look too yellow when paired with my camel tops. Any suggestions? I changed my wardrobe this year focusing on black and other neutrals. Your videos have been a great influence on my style.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I would love you to do a video showing genuine leather bags in the $200 US range. I’ve had so many problems with fake leather bags that I’ve given up on them - for one thing, the straps won’t stay on my shoulder, but are always sliding off, dropping the bag on the floor or ground. Not very fun, or sanitary, to wear. If anyone can spot bags like that, you can, G!

[@mysteriousu5528]

Sorry for the late response. I am vegan and i have many faux leather crossbodys, totes,satchel, laptop bags. I have been using them for more than a decade. I take good care of the things i buy and i use them. I don't buy junk, be it food or dress, nor do i give it to others. Check tjmaxx if you have in your area. One can buy expensive stuffs and still look cheap or one can buy reasonably priced dresses and look like he/she belongs to a millionaire club. I don't follow trends as i set my own trend. I have always been athletic and wear size 2 or 4 depending on the brand and material. Givenchy introduced a non leather handbag to their line couple of years ago and it was $1500! Tjmaxx carries some good stuff. If one is not confident in their own skin and personality which i call it "style", no Birkin or Hermes bag can lift the person up. There is a place called crimea in Russia and its known for leather bags and called cromia. No Chanel can match its beautiful geometry of the bags. I don't buy as they are leather! But i see them in tjmaxx during mother's day, November December. Check another brand cavalcanti. Its Italian and their bags are very nice. In tjmaxx, they cost around $150-250.

[@axhana]

Thank you so much for your tips. I'm in love with the Ava Bag from teddy blake but I can't find it in Germany.

[@yasophie1]

I just discovered this Chanel and love it ... thank you

[@berliozchick]

Beautiful suggestions! Darn, your videos make me want to go shopping. What do you think about vintage bags (high quality)?

[@lovelyweather8794]

Your videos are truly so inspiring.

[@Baltic200]

Thanks for the great video about the bags. I just purchased a black leather one, which was on sale for 125,-- € less, but I prefer bags without metal hardware, because I either wear silver or gold jewelleries, and it would bother me, if the metal of the handbags had the "wrong" color.

[@anasky00]

Love your black bag! So chiq!

Hello. I love love your channel. ;) If you may, can you please do a Daily Work Attire for Hot/Warm weather/climate? I will be moving to Florida soon but I don't know how to dress up at work. Thank you in advance. :)

[@skihillsandy]

Thank you, you’re right about the transformation a really great bag can have on an outfit. I had a bag by Bally which looked exactly like an Hermes Kelly, I got endless positive comments on the outfits I wore with that bag. Shoes are the same, can you do a video where you just change out the shoes? 🙏🏽❤️

[@Gemmawhattowear]

Hi Sandy, your bag sounds gorgeous. I can do a video about changing the shoes, thanks for the suggestion 🌸

Hi. Thank you for this video. I have learned a lot. Can you shed some light about getting a crocheted bag. I saw a crossbody crocheted bag that is really beautiful. It is from Poland. Any advise if it is worth to buy it.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I have a big crush on the Bottega Vanetta woven leather bag, I think it’s called something like the Cassette bag, Casetta maybe? It’s way out of my budget, so I’m looking for a genuine leather, but affordable look-alike.

[@sarizonana]

If you are in the states Michael Kors has a Casette dupe

[@sinipajunen8500]

Hi, what do you think about dome satchel handbags? Let’s say for example the dkny whitney large dome satchel? I personally love the shape of that particular bag. What do you think? Do you consider that type of bags elegant?

[@Gemmawhattowear]

Hello, I like them I think they can look elegant depending what they're paired with

[@lorithorpe3502]

ive got a few nice bags like radley signature bags , michael kors tote red bag , karl largerfeld in pink ,& a black tote kate spade bag , which i was rather dissapointed in , as i paid a lot of money for it , but it was the first one to go soft & saggy on me , the one that stayed rigid the best was the MK bag , it was just that the zip broke on it .

[@jools99caithness17]

Teddy Blake used to offer the Buti Kelly type and Birkin- very close to the real thing. Handbag Crave offer lookalikes online. Cheaper leather but looks close.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Thanks for another great video. I would love for you to recommend some genuine leather bags in the $200 range. I have never been happy with a faux leather one. The most recent one I bought slides right off my shoulder, it was a complete waste of money. I’ve found that bags in the price range of faux leather ones lack quality in other respects.

[@sarizonana]

Don’t know if you already bought yours but in case you didn’t in that price range you are asking for here are some suggestions There is the Homenaje bag from Purificación García Michael Kors well they always got one Quilted style. Kurt Geiger has the Kensington Rebecca Minkoff has the Eddie style. Now I haven’t tried them but I think you might find a nice quilted real leather bag from the outlet stores from contemporary brands.

[@Haydee483]

I just order my teddy Blake. Love both. Thank you I asked you Instagram about you bag. Thank you love your style.

[@Gemmawhattowear]

Hi Haydee, that's wonderful. I hope you love it, I'm sure you will. I love mine

[@Haydee483]

I can wait.

[@brightonbabe2139]

Important that the bag should be leather if you can afford it. Try TJ Maxx in the UK OR TX Maxx in the US.

[@sarizonana]

Or go to an outlet mall if you can make the trip to one of those because in some states of the US like Florida the merchandise is quite limited in bags. Especially aventura Florida. Has a bad selection of bags at Marshall’s and tJ MaX so if you are in Florida especially Miami and Aventura better got to outlet malls like Sawgrass or the dolphin mall. Another choice wait at regular department stores for the end season sales

[@chloesztabnik8991]

Have you ever bought a Aspinal of London bag? They seem luxury with a lower price. Also I was going to buy a Tory Burch bag but found out they’re made in China. That price, made in China, no I’ll pass.

I like Aspinal of London, I’ve never bought one but I love the look. It’s a shame Tory Burch are made it China, I didn’t realise that. I think so many brands are but I that may possibly change in the future 🤷🏻‍♀️

The Teddy Blake bags are beautiful and affordable (compared to designer bags) but it has a logo or visible stamp. It ruins the bag. The only person who should carry that bag is Teddy Blake because his or her name is on the bag. I unfortunately will not be able to buy that bag because my name isn't Teddy Blake. I absolutely will not wear or buy anything that has such an obvious branding. I am not the designers billboard. Sorry, that's just how I feel, it's really a shame because the bags are perfect.
