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

[@jant3528]

Yeah it’s too much of a dupe of the Kelly to be taken seriously. I wish this brand would have its own identity. Why spend all the time and skills of the artisans on something so unoriginal

[@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.

[@KatherineTuan]

Wow, the Lalage is beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

[@Handbagholic]

It really is! You’re welcome 💖

[@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

[@JimboFelkl]

Both the exterior design and internal structure demonstrate high-end craftsmanship.

[@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 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@AlgenWatanabe]

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

[@MatejaYacob]

Love*jklux* 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.

[@BonillasArcuo]

I know wealthy women who carry replicas. The main reason they gave is that they just understand the value of money and don't want to spend too much money on bags... so more people choose fashionable*jklux* bags. However, they do spend a lot of money on fine jewelry and other things.

[@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.

[@Awesome68ful]

My first designer bag was a Chanel. Now I will look for a Lalaga. It’s gorgeous n elegant too. Thanks Steph ❤

[@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* ！

[@JayeshaEmiliana]

I have two pre-loved*jklux* that people left the stickers on, and when you remove them, the hardware looks different than the hardware right next to it that the sticker didn’t touch. It’s not because the other has scratches, the sticky stuff affected the finish.

[@judithparker1982]

I am so enjoying your videos and expertise. I ordered the Lalage Beaumont in Maya last eve. Looks so beautiful!

[@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

[@DavierProvido]

Thanks for making this video on suggesting more budget friendly alternatives. Love it!

[@UsmanganiAbundo]

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!

[@amykeller-f2c]

it is so beautiful! ! ! Nice and roomy with lots of pockets and zipped pockets to keep your things organized. I think for the price it's definitely worth it. I'll update if anything changes after I've used it again.

[@jkhc29]

Thank you Steph! This IS a really tough decision. My fave option from your recommendations is the griege LV bag. Is it heavy? The other ones I’m considering are the puzzle fold from Loewe and the camera bag from Ferragamo (haven’t seen any videos of these bags so I don’t know how they wear. Which would you pick as an everyday work bag? I carry a larger bag with my work stuff. I need a light crossbody to put my essentials in. Lastly, what tote bag are you wearing in the LV store? Thx. J. 🙂

[@francescathegreat1]

I’ve never heard of Laiage. Looks fantastic.

[@gillsargisson8863]

The Lalage bags are beautiful ❤.

[@Handbagholic]

Agreed 👌

[@Jay-ic3ys]

thank you very .. was literally searching for a bag for my girlfriend's birthday and saw this wonderful video

[@NahiaCousin]

Love*jklux* 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.

[@divyachaturvedi83]

Mine is a black Ferragamo from Bicester Village in 2019- great deal ans now I have started using it regularly

[@Nico-J2]

Hi, What about Tory Burch?? Is it a luxury brand i came across them in Bicester village. Thank you,

[@Awesome68ful]

The Walmart Birkin looks more like the Lalaga, seriously 😅imho. Much appreciated your reviews lovely lady. Very insightful ❤

[@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

[@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?

[@LiliBcreation]

Bonjour, can you fit an iPad Pro or MacBook Air 13" in the Large Lalage Beaumont, please ? merci 🌸

[@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.

[@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!

[@jasminesangma3529]

What’s the colour of the minigon bag you were holding

[@GailSilverman-vy5qi]

I love this video and all your other videos!❤

[@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! 💖

[@isaactam815]

Would you recommend the Gucci Marmont? I was looking forward to saving for it

[@nickishathompson3692]

Love these reviews. How does the Maya bag compare to the Teddy Blake bags?

[@RachelSuits]

Would these problems occur if the bags were used every day? I just bought a monogram canvas pochette metis from the Kusama collection. I love the colorful polka dots and hopefully they won't melt, haha. But I don't think I'll use it very often. I also have a NoeNoe from DA but I only use it a few times a year in the spring and summer so the wear isn't that bad. Hopefully the wear won't show up for a while. Also, I'm saving up to get a H Q L U X Y. Have any of your coworkers had the same issues with this size? I don't mind the shape being a little looser but I also don't want it to become a puddle of water. Thanks for the video!

[@graceho7845]

What do you think about the YSL price decrease?

[@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 💖

[@nonyeezemenari8230]

Is the lalge shop in All Bond Street

[@Handbagholic]

@@nonyeezemenari8230 Yes they have one on bond street in Burlington Arcade

[@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.

[@LatashaMoore-y7r]

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

[@FirdausJamal-r6j]

Which should be my first designer bag

[@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!

[@jennelynyanez2199]

I love the lalage! ❤❤❤

[@Handbagholic]

They're so good!

[@sandradavies7804]

I have the Maya, and it's lovely, extremely well made and quality. BUT - I was wary about the resilience of the 24kt plating. Sure enough, the hardware on the front of the bag (both sides where the straps attach magnetically) is already marked, and the bag hasn't even been used yet! It was just unpacked, opened, experimented with how much fits inside (a lot for its size), then closed and rebagged. Next time I opened it up, I saw the scratches. It's also quite fiddly to open up, practically impossible when you are actually carrying it by the handle, which probably caused the scratches. The other gripe is that, at 5ft tall, even on the shortest setting, the strap is very long. Carried on one shoulder, the bag is a couple of inches above my knee, and it doesn't look as good cross body. I'm still undecided about keeping it, lovely as it is.

[@jeanettenfreeland1408]

I have bought coach and Marc Jacobs

[@amygerges6974]

This was your most helpful video

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@nooralain1213]

The black LV lockme is cute but I need gold hardware :(

[@Handbagholic]

Yeah I’m amazed they haven’t made the black with gold HW yet

[@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* .

[@antoninaklyuyeva5415]

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

[@catrionakilgallon4400]

What are your thoughts about Furla bags?

[@Handbagholic]

Hey, I've seen then around but never had one myself. Must look into them more

[@isabelparas7959]

I am actually going to get one from Demelier and Lalage

[@SC-sh6ux]

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

[@audreyandrea460]

I see a lot of students wearing the Marc Jacobs tote bags!

[@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

[@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.

[@sallywilliams9380]

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

[@audreyandrea460]

The LB bags are more expensive than AA. I’m a beginner and I started with AA.

[@kaalikaali1048]

suggest meebs❤

[@erme0213]

That Lalage bag looks like close to Birkin. Wonder if Hermes will not have an issue with them 😊

[@nikyn.2136]

@@erme0213 who cares, they’re beautiful 🤩

[@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?

[@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

[@AnnettaDarandri]

I don’t like that many new “affordable luxury” bag brands like Lalage and Teddy Blake just copy Kelly and Birkin looks. And in this case the classic Ferragamo as well. And a couple bags accounts have dissected Demellier and say the inside work is so messy, the smooth leather feels cheap and the hardware very easily scratches.

[@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.

[@loveki_kai160]

Lalege - ehhhh i dont see originality on the bag design 👎🏼 Longchamp - u can never go wrong with their bags Demeliier - looks modern and unique

[@svetachropko3959]

❤️❤️❤️👜👜👜🌹🌹🌹

[@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.

[@llkoolbean4935]

All the luxury brands just copy each other.

[@Doc_inMelbourne]

Gift me one bag 😢

[@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.

[@sandradavies7804]

Leather is much more eco-friendly than faux (pleather) plastic leather. It's a by-product of the meat industry, but maybe you don't eat meat? It's also eventually bio-degradable so won't pollute the planet for millennia. And will outlast the faux leather alternative.

[@Whitedove6]

Go 14 in Pink 🩷

[@Handbagholic]

That one is very pretty
