I agree with you in regards to the Coach bag. In my opinion Coach is #1 in leather goods. I had my first one over 4 decades ago and she is still in great condition.

[@PoliticsFashion]

Yesssss OGs for sure 👏🏿

[@chenettebrown2865]

I totally agree. Fossil is a great brand also.

[@msneke1]

I love a good ol stanky Coach bag!

[@cheznardi]

Timeless quality wise.

[@chellg1350]

Love Coach my favorite is a black hobo that I’ve had for over 20 years and every time I wear it I get asked oh where did you get that bag I said baby this bag is 20 years old never get rid of her

[@key2lyfe]

In a world with so many fashion girls 😩. Politics & Fashion gonna make them pieces Hit! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 and I love her for that!!😌

[@PoliticsFashion]

Thank you love!

[@MiaValariea]

Facts.🥰

[@reneehampton7665]

While I have some high end luxury bags, Coach has always been in my collection and always will. Coach leather is amazing. I have been looking at that Polene bag for a while now. Love the way you give people alternatives for high end luxury bags. For me, it has always been about what I like and the quality and there are many affordable designers out there.

[@MerryMerr]

Coach and Marc Jacobs now have better leather than Chanel, crazy as it sounds. My friend's 2022 Chanel peeled, that's a actual known issue this year.

[@TMB62]

I needed a budget friendly bag video.

[@sandyjean-baptiste368]

When you said Prada slaps a logo on it & says girl go on out there & be somebody took me out 🤣

[@shontemartinez7826]

I love how you claimed ownership of the black Dior tote 😆 🤣 😂 It's mine.

[@kimkean9176]

JUST bought the Sandro (lilac tie dye) AND the Polene Dix (in cognac/preorder) based on your recommendations ❤

[@teeturner2798]

I knew you were my spirit animal...Tory Burch has been strangling me for a couple of years at this point. And since the relaunch of Coach, I've finally fallen back in love with them

[@bdavis6450]

My bank account said that I need an alternative to your affordable alternative lol. I can do Coach thou, always a classic for me and they last for years!

[@lorettasofowora8603]

I don’t even WAIT to finish cos I know you ALWAYS bring the content. This sis is ready to laff 😂😂 Let just sit back and enjoy 😉💋

[@PoliticsFashion]

😂😂😂😂 enjoy!

[@SoN2MakeuP]

I just wanna say some people just get it and you get it !! You were literally BORN to do this!! 🥰🥰🥰🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼 Great video ! And thanks for the introduction to the black owned jewelry brand ! 🫶🏼

[@PoliticsFashion]

You’re very welcome!

[@kathleenharris8824]

These are indeed elegant looking alternatives. Dare I say that the alternatives in a few cases maybe a higher quality? We all know Chanel’s quality isn’t what it used to be yet the prices are going up. Make it make sense!

[@daliaflanders6598]

Your recommendations are fire as usual, I love the Polene bag, it is so chic "Prada who....". You entertain and educate and make shopping with intention practical....Love it!!

[@dr-k1667]

Fantastic alternatives! I feel like I get Bonus points for having a pick already on my Pinterest board. Extra kudos for the book tote alternative.

[@jackiepeavy5505]

🤣🤣🤣"go out there and be somebody ". I love the fashion but I come for the commentary. ❤❤

[@JessOrozco]

I have 5 Polene bags and I can say they are great quality. I recently got the Numero Dix in the smooth leather. I’m obsessed! The stitching is perfection. Love this brand! 💕

[@LexiePro]

Agreed!!! I refuse to pay thousands of dollars for an overpriced leather bag, let alone a canvas one. Coach is my "luxury" brand, also like a colorful Patricia Nash. I've also been looking at Demellier of London lately...scrumptious! They are right up there with Coach in terms of $. Haven't bought one yet...

[@madamekinx]

Every time I look at one of your videos, I just have to give thanks for you coming across my feed! 👏🏿✨👏🏿✨👏🏿✨ the quality! The scope! The depth! The range! ❤️✨

[@chrisp6479]

Not “ go out there and be somebody” 😂😂😂 your commentary is unmatched. Loved that last bag.

[@t.c.5983]

Coach Dempsey 40 is what I bought to replace the Dior book tote that I can’t afford…. YET, I am manifesting!🤦🏾‍♀️😆

[@hollydalton6576]

“One is the subject, one is the predicate” made my inner nerd swoon!

[@deemarie6422]

I’m still rocking my “Dooney” totes…in fact, I’m pullin all my seniors out this week!!

[@kendracozier7478]

I AGREE! About The Tory Burch Bag. I Wasn't Into The Brand Until Like March. A Woman Came To My Job And My Former Boss Pointed Out This Really Cool Bag. My Boss And I Have Handbag Obsessions. This Bag Was BEAUTIFUL. Now I Kinda Sorta Need A Tory. Love Your Videos Btw.

[@emphasisonstyle5422]

As a former LV employee, I absolutely love your review of the neverfull. You were absolutely on point. I agree 1000%

[@iamdeeLowens]

Love your personality! Great content! I have to admit the Neverfull GM have me in a chokehold. I purchased it almost 15 yrs ago and I WANT and NEED another one but to pay double what I paid initially doesn’t sit well in my spirit. And the price keeps increasing 😩 I love it for travel though. If I can find a great alternative maybe I can shake the chokehold. If not, I’ll have to pull the trigger soon and very soon. 🥴😂

[@nened9105]

I agree I purchased my GM with the pouch for $900 and it’s a much better quality than now.

[@EyEyElla]

LV NEVERFUL especially in the damier with the treated leather straps. DOES NOT CHIP OR CRACK. canvas is very durable and weather resistent. I bought mine years ago from the boutique when it cost 565€. The new price is CRAZY!! Love this video

[@ChrisNCamsMom]

This was the video we’ve been waiting on and you did not miss! I literally debated between the YSL LouLou and the TB Kira and chose the Kira. I have absolutely no regrets. The quality is 🤌🏾. Wonderful recommendations all around! Thank you sis!!

[@PoliticsFashion]

Good to know sis!

[@TheSlightestChic]

The Rebecca Minkoff Edie Shoulder Bag is also an affordable dupe for the YSL Lulu. It comes in a variety of colors and textures. Price point is $298 and up depending on the style.

[@RPBSpeaks]

Coach also has the City Tote that’s a more similar alternative to the LV Neverful if someone wants the canvas. I have it and it really gives the aesthetic desired. I actually like the feel of the canvas better too. Thanks for sharing these alternatives 🥳

[@pepfra24]

If I could give this a thousand thumbs up... That last bag though, yes yes yes.

[@laurenn9420]

I have the Sandro tote and it’s been a great travel bag. The quality is there and it’s held up really well.

[@Miss_D_46]

Love that the alternatives that you’ve identified are still well made and of excellent quality. Never thought to check Sandro for handbags. Thank you!

[@IamAdrienne]

Just ordered the necklace and ring. You influenced another purchase.

[@PoliticsFashion]

Enjoy sis!

[@anetraking9101]

I love the white-white Coach small bag. It is so cute. I have 2 Tori Burch handbags that are great neutrals for work. I will say that I love, love, love my LVs'. I do not use them right now because I like to keep everything low key. It's just not safe out there anymore to bling or shine too much..

[@mustcicitv]

Listen, I don't care what anyone says...the Dior Book Tote is 1/1. It's the tote that launched a thousand totes for a reason. And I know most frown upon the price of a non-leather bag, but it's all about the craftsmanship and details in the embroidery. I purchased my first 1.5 yr ago in a seasonal print and monogrammed my name in it because I love it that much. Seriously contemplating adding another from the FW22 collection, the colors are stunning! And don't sleep on Coach either...one of the best American brands of all time and the leather is exceptional. I've carried the Basquiat Rogue Tote as my work bag daily for past 2 years and it looks brand new! 💙

[@pearlsaremybestfriend]

The commentary is always spicy and thank you for the amazing content

[@Willtok7560]

Ok, "can I get a what what" on your makeup? That lip color is fire!! ❤‍🔥We need those deets too for your OOTD.

[@E-Diva]

Finally got on board and switched to white opal toe nail polish, summer is in full force here in southern Japan.

[@maxinemuhammad5979]

I totally love this vid . I love the Christian Dior tote and will have to save for it as others are lovely however they just will not do . I love LV and want the utility belt bag I saw Monroe Steel with . You came up with some great alternatives thanks for sharing it is much appreciated ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@whitneyc5909]

These are some great bags! And I just brought a Coach bag! Coach is making a come back for real!

[@jenniferblue4972]

Ok Tashira! Let’s talk. I am and will forever be a LV girl. I have 3 Neverfulls. Great work, travel bags. They carry everything! And the canvas is so lifhtweight! It is truly the one and that’s why people love it!

[@PoliticsFashion]

Lisssennnn sis I promise I’m not a hater! Just giving people options that’s all lolol 😂

[@jenniferblue4972]

@@PoliticsFashion 🤣🤣🤣We love options!

[@laurettawilson670]

Awesome video!! And yes, Coach had thd girls in a chokehold...I've never swiped a card so fast as when I got that mini pillow tabby!!! Check out the Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag as a YSL alternative!

[@tamziethestylishtraveler]

Let the fashion tribe say AMEN AMEN AMEN to Sandro! I purchased a Neverfull a few years ago. I only carry it when traveling. I purchased an insert to help with organization. Other than traveling...she's on showcase in my room lol ! All alternatives were on point!

[@nycdst23]

We needed this video! Thank you.

[@k.t.edwards]

Re Prada bag: “Girl go out there and be somebody”! Deaconess TaShira, WHY??? 🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅 I literally just come here now for the comedy! Girl, you crack me up every time! I can’t be mad when I’m watching your videos. Thanks for the weekly dose of joy 🖤🤎🖤🤎

[@chantalmedina9909]

Im in love with that coach pillow bag ❤

[@olevac4300]

Great video as always. Loved every suggestion .

[@cb4664]

Girl you did that…I’m eyeing two of your suggestions : the Mansur Gavriel cloud clutch - which I have eyed prior (but wasn’t aware of the sale thanks girl!) and the last one with the beeeyoutiful stitching honey. 🔥🔥

[@19CQ]

Thank you for this video girl!

[@tormapea1987]

Great alternatives for us. I ❤️ your style and vibe thanks

[@lasharondavis3138]

Girl I truly enjoy the delivery of each video absolutely great product.

[@melissajames-kelly8304]

This was a great video. Love the alternatives especially since I have a few of them myself. Love it 😍

[@BonitaBrewington]

Hey girl English teacher I see that. I bet you got some stories from those days…..totally trust your recs. Had never head of Sandro so thx for that my love but a true lover of mansur gavriel. Cheers to 50k🥂

[@jm9498]

The COLOR and STYLE of dress IS EVERYTHING! Sis, you rocking it well🤭💥🎯❤

[@strategicallystyled5459]

Love Coach! My brother gave me my first one 30 years ago and I still have it! Their quality is everything! Never heard of Polene so thanks for that. Also as a current English teacher I can say you truly have a gift and a calling for teaching and uplifting women on this platform. Be blessed!

[@neicyluv553]

Hey Love! Blessings to you. Loved this video and will purchase a few dupe pieces. Thank you.

[@UmmAmirAbdullah]

I love your content. You are so thoughtful with the information. I adore the versatile nature of your fashion. 😍

[@msneke1]

Sis, you came with the buss down on this one! I love all the alternatives and will be purchasing a couple…thank you, boo!

[@Harmony_Aesthetics]

This video was right on time. I have some traveling this month and was looking for a good tote bag. Thanks for sharing ☺️

[@myrajones416]

Love your affordable alternative purses!! I definitely have a few I'm going to pickup!

[@sacb2000]

You’ve got a way with words for sure...”with the Prada bag they slapped the logo on and said girl go out there and be somebody”. I cannot 🤣🤣

[@hyottey1980]

glad that you shared this video. I have many long lasting and durable coach bag

[@snowglass3969]

Thank you for sharing some fantastic alternatives! Always love discovering new brands! Another alternative for the book tote, which I have and love, and would highly recommend is the Furla Opportunity tote.

[@tinalulumack378]

Thank you for always giving a heads up on the Black owned jewelry!! Appreciate you always helping out those of us on a budget but still wanting style and quality! 🥰 I feel you on the Prada bag! I love Polene Paris bag collection!! Thank you Tashira!😍

[@elizaleonardfit]

I am obsessed!!! Your way of expressing your thoughts is simply amazing!! I could watch you all day girl ❤️

[@chellg1350]

[@sdhanusha9546]

[@kimcole948]

This was a wonderful video!! Love your ideas and I learned about some new brands!! 😘

[@LordLex]

Yesss I agree the Polene Bag shape is sooo nice!

[@karengoldsmith4936]

Now I promised myself no more handbags but....girl....I have been craving a solid black bag for a minute. And I love stitching. And I love a tote bag! You killed it with those suggestions! Promise broken! Lol

[@sophiayapp-arrindell4714]

I’m so happy I found your channel it’s everything and more.. I’m certainly being informed more about various choices I could make instead of just throwing my hard earned coins away! Getting the Prolene bags after my shopping pause for this month

[@QHuda_A]

Tashira, watching your videos is the biggest temptation for my spending habit, but it's all good since your recommendations are sure to elevate my capsule wardrobe.

[@sophiesl7927]

It’s the energyyy for me 😍 I just LOVE your personality 💜

[@carold2370]

Thanks for sharing this video with us. I’m loving all of these alternatives and now I can afford to look chic on my 💵. Sandro Tote and Tory Burch Kira are my must haves! You are amazing and beautiful! 🥰

[@styledbydistinction7057]

Awesome alternatives!!! Coach has always been one of my favorites. You look beautiful in that color 😍

[@yvettequinones1863]

I purchased the Coach Leather Day Tote! Thankful for the affordable alternative. I learn so much from you.

[@proverbs3126]

I just visited the Polene website. I am in love. Thank you!

[@SyreetaKing]

Thank you so much for this alternatives video cause the struggle is real Sis. I will be checking some of these out for my bday.

[@cammy0214]

The best Dior book tote dupe I have seen. Thank you!

[@Shawn27ful]

Very good alternatives Thank you!

[@yeahweburnstuff]

LOVE the Sandro bags! Thanks for the predicate!! 😅

[@neldanunez-corte6810]

Thank you so much for keeping it real, love, love the Polene handbags.

[@neldanunez-corte6810]

Received a reply stating that I was selected for something?

[@karenmickens1239]

Girl!!!! You said it all and then some.🥰❤️

[@maryburton9308]

Awesome vlog..much needed

[@paulalewis567]

New subbie here!!! I absolutely LOVED this video! And YOU are INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL!! Thanks 🙏🏽 so much for sharing these gems!

[@HealASista]

Yaaaaasssss thank you for this!!! It was the absolute best !!! I’m bout to get a feewww. Also, I love my polene bag. It was my first pretty damn expensive investment, then the coach pillow tabby followed. So excited for this book tote and pouch! YASSSS

[@trlee70]

I agree with some of your alternatives. I chose Brandon Blackwood Syl as my ‘Prada-like’ option, even with the studded version.

[@ModernGreenGoddess]

Girl that last alternate bag HIT 👌🏽 I didn’t even think I liked that style bag but now I’m checking it out. Prada could never

[@lasharondavis650]

Great job as usual!!! I have never been a fan of the LV Neverfull however I do love the Dior. I will be checking out the alternative, Thanks☺️

[@ilial7278]

I’ve got the olive green Sandro tote. The best work bag ever. I don’t baby it and it has no scratches. Very classy too.

[@PoliticsFashion]

Yaaasss good to hear!

[@bt2598]

the neverfull is that girl - for me, she does what she needs to do as a catch all tote (in the MM style). I have had her for 4 years and the canva looks amazing in the damier ebene (thought the gold hardware over at louis really is trash and tarnishes terribly). I like the affordable alternatives because you really see that you can get well crafted LEATHER pieces with interesting designs for a fraction of the price. It's got me thinking I need to expand my palate and get out the lux bubble.

[@wendydaniels8618]

Thank you for these luxury alternatives! I'm not at the point where I could easily purchase even the alternatives yet, but I have a Coach purse that I've had for 20 years that still looks like new. Amazing! And I received the small Marc Jacobs red leather tote for my bday which I will keep forever. My Christmas wish will be the Polene bag. I.love.it. Oh, I love your ring and I just bought it! Thanks for including the links for your fabulous style!

[@ginav438]

Phenomenal video and a dangerous temptation to buy everything! If I hadn't bought a free maiden cuff yesterday I would have bought the gorgeous necklace. And the Sandro bag. And the clutch......Thanks for your top tier content.

[@TMAItalia]

You are amazing and I love your videos!

[@luxebylayna]

Love the alternatives, especially the Sandro! Just the other day I was looking for an alternative for the Dior book tote. Another great alternative for the YSL Lou Lou is the Kurt Geiger Kensington. Thanks for the recommendations!

[@PoliticsFashion]

Love Kurt as well!

[@claricemorris2298]

Love your style!

[@merljgravey]

Excellent recommendations!!!!

[@Wernerwoman1]

Hey girl hey! Thanks for putting the Tori bag on my radar. I was looking at the black on black Valentino roma bag, but I would gladly purchase the Tori Kira bag for a fraction of thr price.
