I love your crystal Prada bag. It's something I wouldn't think I'd get much use out of, but seeing your mod shot... ❤

[@Handbagholic]

Glad you liked the mod shot, I didn't think it would be one I used so much either.

[@1996phish]

I love watching your channel grow! You are at the top of this genre on KZbin! You have a great and refreshing perspective on luxury! Thank you! You are relatable because you are genuine. ❤

[@pattywilliams788]

Oh no, Steph, not the Dior Tote! It is very beautiful and I would love one someday, but I can understand your reasons. I love your videos and seeing your collection. Thanks for sharing.

[@Handbagholic]

I know Patty! It's beautiful but definitely no more of these bags for me.

[@kathleenp3135]

I thought your Stella bag was gorgeous. As far as the “regrets”, I see your points on each of them…the tote pattern was pretty but the enormous CD logo killed it. The LV bag was not my style either. The whole “LV” print seems to be done to death and knocked off everywhere. Looking forward to your great finds of 2023. Thanks!

[@ellenbeach3006]

I have been eyeing the Dior bag. Thank you for the review. I'm so glad that I learned this information

[@Handbagholic]

You're welcome, hopefully Dior sort the issue

[@franiecharlenebishop]

thank you for sharing your honest reviews

[@junebug9224]

‘That was hard…’ oh man, we’ve had one or a few of those purchases. Im really surprised you didn’t include any of your Marc Jacobs totes on this list! And you’re the one who really turned me on to them 😂 Such a beautiful collection! 💖 June

[@ewelinalicka11]

Love your honesty ❤

[@jeanettenfreeland1408]

i love the Bee Supreme tote bag

[@licudanmarc]

I cant believe im binge watching your videos. Your videos are all very much informative and entertaining at the same time. Always on the point. Your bags are all so beautiful. I never own any luxury items at all. I can only afford my le pliage and lacoste totes. But i love watching your contents..

[@Handbagholic]

So glad to hear you like the videos! I'm looking at the LePliage it looks lovely

[@jodyengel1968]

Great video Steph! Be careful with the book tote. I’ve seen a few videos where the glue oxidizes after 1-2 years and becomes brown on the edges…apparently Dior has a 2 year warranty, so you might want to keep your eye out on the glue

[@asunbeam5479]

oh my gosh, that happened to mine!

[@patriciamelani5279]

I love your LV lock me ! In lots of your videos it stands on your right side.....i always look at it. Your chanel cc is my favourite as well 😉😘

[@JP-kl1mj]

I'm still watching but I've told you b4 that I love your Prada crystal bag, the LV turtle dove bag and those Fendi slides 🩷

[@HeatherLingerfelt]

Such a great video!! Loved all of it but the honesty on the mug was so good!! Cheers to getting to 60k soon!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@Handbagholic]

Glad you enjoyed the video ❤️ thank you!

[@evalmiki2011]

I will have to buy the lock me now. You are an enabler 😊

[@Handbagholic]

hehe, it's too pretty not too!

[@lalaland8185]

I'd say a very successful year overall for you! It's funny I also have the soft antigona, it's not one of my favorite bags but it's SO useful I end up using it almot daily.

[@monikaleo2577]

I love my soft Antigona ... such a versatile bag!!

[@RachRuray]

My Loewe basket is wide open like the Dior book tote and I use the dust bag inside it with the draw string pulled tight and it works really well.

[@dawncopple3953]

So happy to hear your review of the Dior Book Bag. I have wanted one, but maybe will reconsider. Your’s is absolutely beautiful though! ☺️

[@lolipena8051]

The saint Laurent mug. I want lol. Ty for sharing about it. The watercolor speedy has always been on my wishlist but like you its just the print. I havent used my speedy since 2019.

[@Breanna.HouseOfCorgis]

The Stella bag is my favorite - love

[@Handbagholic]

good choice, she's a beauty

[@ezdiz1615]

I commented that I was planning the (new) small book tote when you got yours, but thankfully I can;t stop using it since I got it! Surprised by how much I love the easy access to my things.

[@Handbagholic]

I love that! I think I’m going to get a zipped liner for mine and then I’ll feel more secure using it. It is so beautiful

[@stavrosharamis3002]

I got a D-lite in Meduim the one with the flowers and butterfly on the side as a gift. I think that one is more useful...

[@aprilperez9429]

Great video! My husband surprised me with the Lockme ever mini in black and silver for Christmas, and it is my favorite in my collection. Its a great bag 🥰

[@mansoor3159]

Hey! Steph your videos are just awesome and I really love your all bags so so so much you are my inspiration and I wish you reach 60K Subscribers very very soon!❤️☺️💫

[@Handbagholic]

Thanks so much Mansoor!

[@Iconicatravel]

First ! Excited to see this video! 🎉

[@Handbagholic]

Hope you enjoy!

[@Iconicatravel]

I did a lot very expressive and informative love it ! Can’t wait for the next video Steph 😍

[@hadrienstar]

luv your Givenchy bag, have it too, it's my dump bag, so practical and easy to use with handles, dual zipper and soft leather, light, whether at grocers or retail shopping.

[@martavillanueva1062]

Tote life is practical for teachers that carry copies and books and classroom supplies. And yeah 😂 having a tote is dealing with when it tips over😭. It's a fly fest----everything flies out.

[@Handbagholic]

😄😄 the fly fest gives me anxiety!

[@Erin_baa]

Similar to me! I work flexible for my job so it means my work bag has to be able to fit the laptop + mouse in it. My previous work bag served me for 5yrs+ and it's showing some bad wear and tear. I have been looking for a new big bag but unfortunately all the brands now don't do big bags with closure on them! I really liked the designs of some totes but no closure really speaks disaster to me. I ended up purchasing the Soft Antigona in medium size, during a sale. Haven't been using it still as I'm working from home this month, but I do love it's look and texture

[@lillygirl7238]

Love the Chanel trendy bag.

[@luxuryStars_]

Waiting for full review on LV LockMe mini including what fits inside xx

[@Handbagholic]

It's coming very soon :)

[@etiah6658]

My best are my Prada crystal bags. I absolutely love mine and they get a ton of wear. I will wear these bags to Target…seriously! Worst bag was my Bottega Mini Jodie. The bag is cute and the color is gorgeous. There is no denying that Bottega crafts beautiful leather bags buttttt I can only hand carry it and that just doesn’t work for me. The zipper is a pain in the butt too. The actual size isn’t an issue cuz I like small bags but since it’s hand only I found I would reach for it but opt for something else. I’m trading it into Fashionphile for something else that better suits me and will actually be used.

[@lg8661]

You can put an insert with a zipper that closes it on the book tote.

[@Handbagholic]

Yes I need to order one thanks

[@aundralwilmore4456]

My worst purchase of 2022 has been the Ophidia GG Medium Tote! The leathers is peeling on the straps and top trim after 6 months of wear.

[@Handbagholic]

Oh no! Thanks for sharing that, I do like the look of the Ophidia tote

[@JP-kl1mj]

I love the Gucci Bee Supreme 🐝 😍

[@Handbagholic]

It'll be for sale very soon :)

[@keloconnor1719]

Where do you sell your bags? X

[@tmougo]

I love your Givenchy Antigona. My favorite purchase this year was my Neverfull. I know it’s common, but so practical. I will never buy Stella McCartney products. Years ago, I bought a vegan crinkle leather bag and within months, it started to flake and peel. It is sticky. I also had three Stella coin pouches that did the same thing. Their customer service was worthless. I love my YSL quilted pouch.

[@contentwithcandace]

Your Prada shopper tote bag is gorgeous! The Stella McCartney gold bag is stunning! Love the Givenchy small tote with the zip closure! How heavy is that bag with you items in it? The trendy cc is a stunning design! I do worry about the size capacity.

[@tearsun1982]

Ha. The Gucci bee tote super practical and useful for me. But it doesn't stand up. Even with the magnetic closure, things have fallen out

[@Christina-bs6sw]

I got a JW Anderson satchel bag last year, but unfortunately it's very heavy and I avoid using it. But, I love the design and the colour.

[@danafillo]

Very surprised that your Marc Jacobs totes didn't make the "Best" list! After watching your video I went and got the small size red jacquard and it is definitely one of my best purchases. I also got the Odeon bag I know you love and that's been one of my best this year as well, along with the oldie but goody Longchamp le Pliage. Looking to get a mini Alexa in 2023!

[@olofedda88]

That LV Lock me mini is gorgeous 😍 it’s on my wishlist now.. and I was gonna be good this year and save money.. oh well 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@jessicaal415]

I think perhaps not owning more than one CD tote bag is smart however I would use what you have, as something you’d probably want to use when going to a house day time party or get together I.e for coffee or tea at a friend’s house, a shower event during daytime, brunch. It would be useful to just throw some items in when you know you’d be among the company of ppl you know well. And throw a scarf on top. Having said that, one is sufficient and it possesses so many colors that I feel any outfit would go well. Just my opinion. And yes, beautiful bag!

[@thalia7104]

I have the Stella McCartney crystal bag in silver (but it's the previous version, I got it on sale for a little under 500 Euros), it is stunning! I just wish it would be a little bit larger 😊! My best purchase was the Dior Book Tote in the medium size (I have the Toile de Jouy version in light pink), I used it so much! It holds some documents and a book without problems, exactly I needed 😊. I got a bag organiser for it, since I, too, wanted the option to have it closed (have you considered getting one for your Book Tote? It wouldn't change the "boxiness" of the bag, but the problem of things falling out of the bag would have been solved!).

[@glean56]

you should do a video on what the crystal stella mccartney bag can hold. I didn't buy it yet because I am not sure what all it can hold for a evening bag.

[@antje9356]

Funny how preferences & needs for bags differ. I bought a large Book Tote in dark blue in the D-Constallation pattern. I was not keen on spending so much money on a fabric bag and was doubting that I would wear it much. It actually turned out my most worn bag of 2022!! It rained a lot! So I was glad to have a not so sensitive but still stunningly beautiful alternative to my (leather) Hermes bags! And it holds a lot. It has been on a number of plane rides. But as Lufthansa likes to put me on the exit row, it always had to go in the overhead bin. I was always super scared Someone would put a dirty bag on top, so I would recommend avoiding bulkheads & exit rows in planes.

[@mustcicitv]

Ugh, I'm so sorry you feel that way about your Dior Book Tote because she's so beautiful. Here's my advice on how to view her...if you were ever interested in the infamous Hermes Birkin bag 25, 30, 35, you should view the DBT in the same way...they are basically going to be carried the same way...the biggest difference being that the HB can be closed, but you're not going to do that....and if you'd like things not to fall out of the DBT, get an insert with the zip closure, because chances are you're going to put one in the HB, even though it closes. I bought the medium DBT with this in mind as sort of a test of whether I'd even carry a HB. I've worn my DBT for two months straight and will send it to Dior for cleaning and pull her out this summer again. I said all of this to say that, this style of tote may not be for you and it may be better to sell her instead of it just sitting on shelf. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@ВераМосягина-ы2в]

С Новым годом, с новыми силами в Новый год. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎄🎄🎄🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺

[@glean56]

I got a givency antigona in baby pink and after one use I saw it got dirty near the zip ends. How do you spot clean zippers for luxury bags?

[@namitamohinani]

Hi, I had a question regarding your Falabella! Do you put in an insert to maintain shape? I just got a small Falabella but the shape is quite flimsy (which I like), but want to know if I can make it more sturdy with an insert if needed. Thank you!

[@namitamohinani]

Oops* I have the mini size!

[@stavrosharamis3002]

The cup i would use it as a pen holder. I don't own one, i gifted one to a girl. I wouldn't travel wirh it for sure. But at home and work it coukd work fine. Get up from your desk poor some coffee and good to go.

[@kavitagupta6103]

My best purchases of 2021 are the gold Bvlgari serpenti watch,hermes black leather mules,croc embossed bag from Italy,mulberry bayswater, antigona,ysl large envelope. The fail was a faure le page tote with the gold feet.beautiful but it's spreading out a bit from the feet area.which is annoying to me

[@tingelingn3242]

I read from one of your subscribers that Dior stated that this problem is solved, and that it was just the first batch of this leather that had the problem. I don't know. I have this bag in medium and I asked Dior about it, they told me that it was very little chance this would happen to my bag......I bought mine in late december.

[@picacupa]

Do you also have the Lockme bucket? A Lockme bag is on my wishlist so a comparison of the Lockme bags would be great!

[@Handbagholic]

I have the mini backpack not bucket. I’ll be doing a review of the mini bag & will show it next to the backpack for you in that video 🙌

[@hhueter]

I actually really like my saint Laurent coffee mug. However I don’t really use it for coffee for just as a glass. Also I don’t use the lid. I didn’t buy it though expecting it to be a good travel mug. It’d seem pretty annoying though because that lid is terrible.

[@stavrosharamis3002]

I wish i had known about the diamond motif issue prior. I wasn't following all of your videos. I bought it like beginning of December, its more than 30 days. I cant return it. Yeah i don't like to buy in to potentially future problems. All the stuff, I buy are for Christmas and Birthday gifts to my twin flame.

[@marieskoglund8820]

I really want a beautiful but lightweight coffee mug for when I’m on the go. Anyone who knows a nice one?

[@leeniekaplan7676]

is SSENSE legit for buying bags. They have a good price on a bag I want but never ordered from them before...nor do I know of anyone who has.

[@Handbagholic]

They are but from what I remember they don’t have a good returns policy - like you can return items but you have to pay a high fee

[@RachRuray]

I don’t have any Chanel bags and promised myself one this year - but honestly that LV is so so gorgeous I’m more tempted by that as my expensive purchase this year. Side note, I bought a Givenchy mini moon in the sales and it’s beautiful. The hardware is amazing!

[@Christina-bs6sw]

Mini moon is fantastic and not many people wear it
