Let me know your first designer bag / ones you're debating in the comments! Watch next, CLEARING OUT & SELLING MY BAG COLLECTION 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmKmYX2ihNeZirc

[@RFL9458]

The Lalage is a very “inspired” by Hermès and Ferragamo

[@WolverineMaid]

You took my words! Lalage’s Maya inspired by Hermes’ Kelly, Lalage’s Fonteyn almost a copy of Ferragamo’s iconic top handle bag

[@darial.2311]

Exactly, Kind of luxury fakes

[@GranbergKeesee]

If the *gtdupe* makes no difference, why pay more?

[@FarlessAdamczak]

I was in Turkey recently and had a empriente multi pouchette with me. They show me a*preluxz* bag and it looked just like it.

[@ProvidenceFadri]

Here's a fact I know when I visit Bali: they price it higher for foreigners and domestic tourists, but lower for locals (usually tourist spots), so I usually go in*preluxz* Go shopping.

[@theegoddesshathor]

I don't ever comment, but this video definitely deserves one. It was amazing and exactly what I needed as I'm getting into the luxury bag.... Thank you for sharing 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@YadiraStyle]

Didn’t know about Lalage! They look so nice! Love your sequin blazer/bomber. ❤

[@Handbagholic]

Thank you so much! Yes Lalage is incredible, amazing woman and brand

[@BrammerHortencia]

Years ago I would never have bought fake however recently I have done and when you realise and compare both "hight quality luxury" and "fake" like I have done, you tend to feel scammed as the product and materials are exact the same*preluxs* .

[@ClericoShelburne]

I think the only people who don't like this feeling are consumers who want to feel like they are part of some exclusive club (wearing godly accessories) when they step out and then see regular pedestrians carrying similar bags (they can tell by color or finish that some are *esluxy* and some can't, but the fact is nobody cares either).

[@lindathompson5099]

Such a great vlog. Love my Neverful Med and GM. Also the Longchamp. Use it for flying and road trips. Gifted to my 2 daughters in-law.

[@FarlessAdamczak]

Such a great collection of vintage/pre owned bags! A vintage*preluxz* is definitely also on my list

[@user-tv5hl8zu9s]

I'm grateful to you for make this videos you are a very nice honest woman ✨️ ❤

[@maureenturk8578]

I think the quality of Ferragamo leather is under-appreciated. ❤

[@Handbagholic]

I totally agree! It’s very nice quality

[@StimusElina]

"I love a good 66 because it helps me decide if I want to buy the real thing or NOT." That part right there. That's IT. I feel like people stigmatize dupes but for me, I pause on large purchases that are trendy or when I feel the overconsumption mania setting in FOR ME. (It's something I struggle with LOL! I'm easily convinced to buy things I don't wear or use. They'll literally have the tags and I'll even forget I bought something and have 2 or 3 of them in my closet.) Love this video!

[@francescathegreat1]

I’ve never heard of Laiage. Looks fantastic.

[@amygerges6974]

This was your most helpful video

[@jennelynyanez2199]

I love the lalage! ❤❤❤

[@Handbagholic]

They're so good!

[@JackieHearts]

I’m going to London for the first time in a few months. I’m going to try to stop by the store and see them in person. Excited

[@Handbagholic]

Hey Jackie! Oh amazing, London is fabulous you're going to have a great time. Are you there for shopping? Yes do go and visit them, let them know you've seen the video. The staff are so friendly.

[@deblinarababi5667]

Very informative video, thank you ❤

[@Handbagholic]

Glad it was helpful 🙌

[@MidyettRumbold]

If you can wear high quality *esluxy* for 200-500 USD then why not. Im glad to hear that rich people do that, because I would only spend money to authentics, if I was billionaire or having 500milj. on my bank account. That´s never gonna happen.

[@4evrnick]

I have the Maya bag in Orange. I love it.

[@Handbagholic]

I’m tempted with orange it’s a stunning vibrant shade. Congrats on yours! 💖

[@lulaamin2138]

Hey Steph thank you for this video i liked your selection and the options you gave. I was just wondering what is your thought on the Nikki YSL bag? That is one that i am eyeing for everyday bag.

[@gillsargisson8863]

The Lalage bags are beautiful ❤.

[@Handbagholic]

Agreed 👌

[@augheyfello]

The moment I saw the bag*preluxs* I knew I had to have it.

[@GailSilverman-vy5qi]

Love your video because I can’t buy very expensive bags and I love your video and I have subscribe to your channel. Thank you ❤

[@Handbagholic]

So glad you enjoy Gail it’s so nice to have you here 💖

[@ashleyrenee8126]

When I finally make the purchase, the medium sunset, YSL bag is what I am getting and I love to see the videos of people talking about it time and time again and I’ve watched yours quite a few times and I’ve seen you post about it so that makes my purchase that much more validand I’m getting all black

[@parisak6170]

This is my first purchase as well. Its classic and timeless.

[@augheyfello]

These are all my favorite*preluxz* ！

[@donnaazu808]

Hi, I just stumbled onto your channel and I’m loving your videos. I’m very new to designers bags and I’m planning to make my 2nd big purchase. Currently I’m interested in the Sunset bag and a few of the LV bags. I will be in London this August and I would like to make my purchase during my visit. Do you recommend going to Selfridges and Harrods or the individual boutiques?

[@lulaamin2138]

Lalage is on my next list. Please give your opinion or make a video on what is the best black bag for everyday use.

[@Handbagholic]

Fabulous, keep me updated. I think I have a wishlist at Lalage as long as my arm now. Thanks for the suggestion I'll note that one down

[@MihatschLeever]

The reality is: if you're rich and famous, your*preluxs* bags are seen as a sign of success. If you are just an ordinary worker working a 9-to-5 job, your real bag is likely to be considered the fruit of your efforts.

[@roxanaruiz]

Hey! First time here and enjoying your videos, I love them! I see you haven’t mentioned Bottega Venetta, I love that brand, what do you think? Greetings from Mexico City!

[@graceho7845]

What do you think about the YSL price decrease?

[@jeanettenfreeland1408]

I have bought coach and Marc Jacobs

[@jeanettenfreeland1408]

I want the Pochette Métis so badly

[@Handbagholic]

Oh nice choice Jeanette!

[@BerezNikach]

You know a lot about luxury accessories and bags. It is obvious that you have conducted due diligence and the comparison information with the United States is very rich... I live in New York, thank you very much. I like*preluxs* .

[@sallywilliams9380]

I’m so confused, I don’t know whether to go for a Lalage Beaumont bag now or an Ateliers Auguste? 😊

[@antoninaklyuyeva5415]

Very beautiful necklace!🤩 Where can I buy it?🙏

[@SC-sh6ux]

Would you please do a video like this for students? I want to get a bag for my college student.

[@delnapoonawalla8046]

Amazing video and haul for 1st time buyers. It is indeed confusing and overwhelming unless you v into fashion and clear about what you like. I have both luxury to mod range and fun bags. For fun fashion bags really feel marc Jacob's is value for money snd the zip and compartments are v useful to travel with or just an everyday bag. Lalage also seems beautifully made and gold hard ware super but do feel they look alot like the Kelly bag. I soooo love❤ the demellier bags... beautifully made and well priced and v original in design. Been asking If there is a store like selfridges that stocks them or where I can actually see their entire range physically? Pls do let me know if there is one

[@ashleylopez2714]

I love da u give US prices for people who live in da US

[@Handbagholic]

Always, sending love to the US from the UK!

[@fishandfloral]

I have 3 DeMellier bags, 2 Vancouver and a Montreal mini. I highly recommend them too. I did need to add strap extensions to the Montreal as it hit too high for me. I also like Etienne Aigner, especially their straw bags, for summer.

[@FM-xg8oq]

Does the hardware scratch easily?

[@fishandfloral]

@@FM-xg8oq I’ve read that they can but I haven’t had problems so far. The only time I’ve had issues with closure misalignment is when I’ve overstuffed the bag, so that’s when I try to pay extra attention when closing.

[@mansoor3159]

Lovely Lovely Bags Steph and you are looking too too gorgeous you are my truly truly inspiration and I wish you have a blessed weekend😭🥹😭🥹

[@Handbagholic]

Thank you as always Mansoor! Hope you have a great weekend too

[@gallia6429]

They look like Hermès dupe.

[@stevie9091]

I probably won’t spend the money on the YSL bags. Sadly there isn’t much of an innovation in the bags themselves. Magnetic closure with just the logo on the front is a bit “basic” and lazy design.

[@hejhejhejhej1238]

Were do i find this beautiful jacket your wearing in this video?

[@Handbagholic]

Glad you like it! It's from Zara, it was pretty hard to get as it sold out but maybe they will get more stock

[@Crazydoglady700]

Hi Steph did your jacket come up smaller size wise or bigger for Zara their sizes are all so different x

[@Handbagholic]

Hey, the jacket I got in a size medium as it was the only size available and I like how it fits, slightly oversized but not too much

[@tieganceleste]

I love your videos and just curious if you've ever had a Gucci Jackie? I don't think I've seen one in your collection

[@Handbagholic]

So glad you like! No I’ve never had a Jackie but I have been very tempted to

[@svetachropko3959]

❤️❤️❤️👜👜👜🌹🌹🌹

[@Lutifah]

Did you get rid of the small demellier bag?

[@Handbagholic]

No I do still have I forgot to show it 😄

[@Lutifah]

@@Handbagholic I was like… when did I miss that?! 😂😂😂 I have the small in this gorgeous green sort of olive colour. Tempted by the regular is it very large? Also thoughts on APC grace?

[@johnpaulvalenzuela5391]

I would add Lemaire’s croissant bag

[@ewak2795]

Sunset YSL is really nice but super heavy :/

[@Handbagholic]

I personally don't find mine too bad, it's not the lightest for sure but I think everyone has their own take on what is too heavy for them.

[@EvaKateDawsonSinger]

Affordable🙍? Its a great video if you want to find out which one to get but misleading title

[@nehagupta66]

Please don't promote animal cruelty in the name of leather bags and fashion. There are multiple options for faux leather bags which are also very classy and chic

[@Handbagholic]

Most leather is a bi-product of the meat industry & much of it goes to landfill. Your statement is too broad and the issue is more to do with meat consumption. I own one leather bag for years, maybe decades.

[@Whitedove6]

Go 14 in Pink 🩷

[@Handbagholic]

That one is very pretty
