Ateliers Auguste 💛 New French Handbag Brand I'm Excited About!

Hi friends! I promised to bring you new and lesser-known handbag brands that offer great value, so here's one I'm very excited about! Ateliers Auguste is a Paris-based brand and all of their bags are handmade in Italy. They reached out to me recently and offered to send me a bag to try out (little did they know, I've been eyeing their bags for months now)! I chose the Mini Monceau bag for it's practical size and minimalist aesthetic. Watch the video to get all the details! P.S. This video is NOT sponsored. As usual, whether an item is purchased or gifted, I share only my 100% honest review. Hope you enjoy! xx

I love the new designers that offer a great quality for a reasonable price, like Polene, Ateliers Auguste, Lonbali, Cuyana or the traditional ones like Le Tanneur. I am getting tired of the price increases and limitations in the so called luxury brands. Thank you!

[@ummeismaeel589]

Yes! But unfortunately Polene is not a brand I would recommend. I bought it based on Catwalks review, and I really regret it.

[@maiteacosta5642]

I've had great experience with my Cuyana bag so far...

@@ummeismaeel589 Oh, it's a pitty. Could you explain why?

[@ummeismaeel589]

@@MataHari27 I got the numero Sept and the lock on that sometimes doesn't open. It's so frustrating because sometimes you need to access your phone urgently and the lock just won't open up. So now I have to keep my phone in my pocket if I want to be able to easily access it.

I love that you show bags and designers that are high quality classic and don’t break the bank!! Thanks for always sharing 🖤

[@snam626]

I love these vids where you feature alternative brands! I will definitely check out this brand....love the clean chic design!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

So glad you enjoyed it! I love sharing new brands here! It’s like we’re discovering together!

[@jadormycc8819]

When I purchase this bag, I thought I would be disappointed and end up returning it like I did when I purchase senreve and Polene paris. I ended up returning both brands mentioned and other contemporary brands. It’s different with Atelier Auguste. The leather is soft and not stiff or dry like other leather. Also, the smell of this leather reminds me of my Chanel caviar bag. I’m looking forward to other styles in the future and hope they’ll maintain the same leather years down the road.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Oh I’m so glad you’re enjoying your Ateliers Auguste bag!

[@nicolestewart]

Claps for you! You go girl. Finally we can appreciate some one who is still genuine and bringing reality prices for handbags that work for us and our budgets. I love your bags but I love you more 😊❤

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Thank you so much!!

[@humanrightsforall09]

Great to see well-made and reasonably-priced handbags! I refuse to spend thousands on the famous brand designers.

[@yulianagonzalez2428]

With bad quality no no

[@isabelbelen6835]

I love my Ateliers Auguste bags ( Grande Madame and the mini Monceau gold edition). Their shop in Le Marais is elegant and understated in keeping with the minimalist design of the bags. Reasonably priced for superior leather quality. Thank you for the review.

[@sally3570]

Wow! I love this bag and the price point! The colors are beautiful!🎉

[@joyvillavicencio3501]

I love the silhouettes of their bags! They remind me of Celine classic lines and shapes. The sand and tan colors are so pretty! I hope you enjoy your bag 😊

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I was drooling over the sand and tan colors too!!

[@lillianck]

I’ve been interested in this brand once before too and this exact size/style! I liked the gray color but this cream color is very versatile too!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I planned to wear this cream color with mostly white/cream outfits but it works so beautifully against all black and also with denim! ❤

[@nameisrachel]

Oh finally someone talking about this brand! I’ve been thinking about getting one of their bags!

[@maiteacosta5642]

Great video, beautiful bag... This month I returned 2 different bags from a luxury house due to quality issues. I'm so done. On the other hand, I bought a bag from Cuyana during the summer and I am so happy with it. Great company and I love all that they stand for and business ethics. Thanks for sharing this beauty. I will definitely check them out.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I think we’re all pretty tired of the quality issues from some of the bigger designer houses. I’m so glad to hear you had a good experience with Cuyana. I’ve been eyeing some of their bags too!

[@yulianagonzalez2428]

Pretty bag pretty color Thanks for being honest that’s really important We need more people like you in this world 🌎 I love the sand color

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Thank you dear. I figure if I can’t be honest, why bother. So I’ll always be real here.

I really appreciate your channel, your delivery style, and the high quality level of the content. Would you ever consider discussing stylish options for work bags as well as do a what’s in my work bag video? My work bag is my struggle. I want to look stylish but have a functional bag. I can never seem to find the right fit and would appreciate hearing your perspective on this topic.

[@cherpeters8775]

I really like this bag! Kind of a Celine classic box vibe, but so much more affordable. Very tempting!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Yes!

[@Begining2013]

Great bag. It was very helpful to see the bag's size next to other bags that we're familiar with. Some mod shots from you would have been good.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

[@chillwithmari]

hi unnie, is the soft leather easily scratched? how's it so far for you? and also for the lighter color, does it get stained easily?

[@lesliedavis6377]

What do you think of Demellier- they’re from London. Their bags remind me of this!

[@Nikki-ou5ls]

Are there any issues with color transfer? If you have mentioned it in the video and I missed it, sorry about that. Thanks 😊

[@annalin9590]

Wooh i like that you are exploring different brands. Do you like this one better or polene bags?

[@CakesandGarden]

Thank you nice video An information please, which is the maximum length of te strap I the small and regular sizes?

[@cvictorygt]

Great review!! Thank you for sharing. How do you think this brand compares to Polene?

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Great question! I was thinking about this earlier and it’s hard to compare bc the designs are different. Also the leathers feel different. Polene bags are generally a bit heavier and have more folds and artistic styling. The Ateliers Auguste bag (at least the one I have) is light and simple (no unnecessary material). I think both brands are quite nice and within a similar price range. It’s a matter of preference really.

[@effa_haniza]

This actually reminds me of Demellier London Vancouver bag but perhaps, it’s slightly bigger than this one. Have you heard about it? Would you consider the bag?

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I’ve heard great things about Demellier as well but I’m not super familiar with them as I’ve never had a chance to see their handbags in person.

[@things_i_fancy]

Love the minimalist design! What made you want to choose the cream colour? Thx for the review!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I really wanted a simple, chic cream colored bag for my all white/monochrome outfit looks. BUT.. I’ve been happily surprised by how nice it looks also against all black and also denim outfits! I posted a mod shot of me wearing the bag today - on my yt community page! 😊
