2023 Designer Bags that I'M NOT BUYING...and why?!

[@vvforme]

The pink star bag gives me SpongeBob vibes.

[@CassieThorpe]

Patrick is that you?! 😂

[@ubiquitousflow]

😂 Not Patrick Star! 😂

[@chrislstahl4239]

It gives Claires Vibes

[@lillilian1597]

Yesss true! Or Jeffree Star merch

[@TheModalia]

Don’t disrespect SpongeBob like that

[@olofedda88]

With the current rate that they’re churning out bags, it’s almost as if their goal is to become fast fashion brands for people with stupid money 😕

[@mattbonanza9032]

That is exactly what they are 😂. Except for Hedi Slimane. He is the only free thinker of luxury fashion.

[@4lb280]

and many with stupid debt trying to look like they have stupid money.

[@RoseStephens.]

*#amzrepx* There is no competition in the world of fashion dups. These sacks are on a whole new level.

[@ResearchedStyle]

This is why I love your channel. You mix fashion with real financial talk so well.

[@WhatsForTea]

The Go-14 with the ombre effect brown stitching reminds me very much of a Chesterfield sofa.

[@CassieThorpe]

Very much so!!

[@helenmoore6094]

And now I can’t unsee it lol chesterfield sofa lol

[@WhatsForTea]

😆👍@@helenmoore6094

[@dillondyer6990]

Not a star bag fan in general but I have to say Coach did much better with their star bag 😅

[@hoosemanlikesbooks2421]

Agree!

[@marilynfarley9213]

I agree as well.

[@layla-dv2kt]

The Chanel looks soooo tacky! And Im a person that loves shimmer, glitter etc :D

[@corinatralala2556]

Ohhh never knew Coach had a star bag... I only know their ❤bag looks awesome😊

[@PatriciaSonia]

I absolutely adore 🥰 my Picotin. It holds so much, and gives the illusion that I’m a small bag person. 😂 And you don’t have to be precious about it. It was my first luxury bag purchase 7 years ago and still looks like I bought it yesterday. It really proved to me that a luxury bag can be a useful purchase that you don’t have to baby.

[@5ftNothing]

Well said, I love my Picotin too. The leather is sublime 🥰

[@joaopinamonteiro]

The pink star bag is giving Kirby’s dream land (yeah, i’m this old, haha). I agree with you on the horsebit clutch, Cassie - the vintage versions are way juicier than the re-edition. Honestly IMO when brands relaunch their classics, I feel that they either tweak them a bit too much or not at all and the Stam bag is the perfect example of the latter.

[@Emanuela1003]

“It looks like something that you would sort of find in your grandmother’s closet and should be left there.” That really got me, Cassie! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 You’re absolutely right! Loved your video (as usual)! ❤🥰 Lots of love from Rome, Italy🥰❤️

[@noahbmcm]

Love your videos Cassie!!!! Always bring me joy when I see a new upload ❤❤

[@CassieThorpe]

Aahh thank you so much, that makes me so happy! 💖

[@patricklynch9145]

Cassie is so funny the “logistics” of the chanel star bag im cryinnnggg 😭😭

[@wordsbygemm]

I like that Loewe bag, I have a bag in a similar shape and it's so practical for when i'm out and about or even to take to work.

[@MembersMclees]

you’re literally my comfort person i love you kislux !

[@altacostura3512]

Off topic comment, but I just want to say thank you for sticking to being a luxury content producer and not falling for awful sponsorships. I am so tired of seeing all these BS clothes/jewelry brands (yes, I'll name names-Goelia/Lily Silk, Idyll, etc etc.) and content creators pushing them. I don't watch the video installment and it leaves me a really rancid indisposed feeling toward the channel. Thank you for rarely doing a sponsorship or feature and when you do it's truly a luxury related one (Farfetch/Lux dept stores, your jewelry collab, vintage/resale stores, etc. those are awesome).

[@onlyClaire]

The Loewe squeeze reminds me of a Fossil hobo(ish) bag from 10 years ago I have in my wardrobe (but more grown up and practical) maybe I'll be inspired to drag the old thing out this winter.

[@nkee5092]

Haha ‘ a white piece of paper hanging from your side ‘- spot on 😂

[@abbyvanhoose3997]

I totally agree with you 100% This might not be important to anyone but 10 years I was close to a Burberry outlet and got a beautiful bag,wallet with quilted fabric and leather, I think the bag was abt 350..and wallet abt 175...they are still like new and modern,they had sandels,raincozts,shirts ect. So if you don't mind they came from outlet,you save quite a bit,they are Burberry. Great video ❤❤❤❤

[@BeantownMrs]

I totally agree about the LV!!!! Something about the quilting on the GO-14 gives me the ick. I don't mind quilting 99% of the time, but something about it... 😵‍💫

[@foodandlipstick]

I absolutely loved the CC heart bags..not so much on the star.

[@murphyville]

I agree with you Cassie!

[@YSLaddicted21]

You can never go wrong with Tom Ford era Gucci. I totally agree with this list. Ah! The Stam was a moment in time and it does look a bit dated. I’ve thought about purchasing it years ago on the vintage market but I couldn’t even justify the $250-300 price point because it does look dated 😩

[@Nita19SC04]

I 100% agree. And the Flamenco is so much better than the Squeeze bag IMO...

[@shaneighne]

Cassie has never lied!😂

[@opaljohnson4762]

Love your commentary on those bags. Very, on point.

[@elizabethheyn5365]

The Row’s Banana Bag kinda reminds me of Uniqulo’s dumpling bag, or at least it’s trying to be that bag. There’s a new leather (or faux leather?) version now, too. It like the younger, posher, and more sophisticated cousin of that bag, which is probably why it is irritating. Uniqulo has Babybels ror an afternoon snack, but The Row has cubes of aged cheddar or something Side note:I think I’m going to cave this december and get myself a dupe of that uniqulo bag (there’s a department store version that is half the price) 😆 Edit: I wrote this before you made the exact comparison. Sooo, we’re on the same wavelenght.

[@CassieThorpe]

💖💖

[@MsKathyR100]

Yes! I was thinking the same thing of the banana bag…Uniqlo! And there was a version of the LV Go 14 that looked like a ham!😅

[@whiteheaven2011]

Go 14 reminds me of Cadburry Bubbly

[@annado3885]

Free make up bag with a purchase 😂. Love Cassie's description lol

[@corinatralala2556]

Hahahahah so true though...I had all these pouches from cheap makeup brands years ago haha

[@Jason-ml3vs]

“Worse than nothing” lol. I love this girl!!! lol

[@RichmondSajini]

"What a load of nothing" took me out. 🤣🤣🤣

[@shervondavid6882]

You were spot on with all the bags. But I really like the YSL and Picotin.

[@zelarellano1012]

I thought of Uniqlo too, the moment I saw the row bag. Hehe

[@phantomthread4385]

That brown padded LV quilted bag just reminds me of a Chesterfield sofa.

[@melissarathke3209]

I completely understand your feelings about the GO-14.

[@minneapaulis]

My mind went INSTANTLY to the Uniqlo version of that The Row bag too

[@CassieThorpe]

😂

[@TheCiamarie]

Same!

[@helenhall299]

Agree about the Star bag. Who wants to weasel their way into bag?! Not Cassie 😂 That LV-014 in the brown! Ugh. Is it not giving old leather couch in the basement vibes?!? I do like the Loewe bladder bag although now that image is forever in my mind. And lastly, yes to a vintage horsebit and no to the new ones. Another great video!

[@VintageonTap]

New subscriber~ actually really loved the YSL bag… *especially* because it looked 40s/50s haha but def agree with the rest of the takes~! Fun channel- can’t wait to binge the rest of your other vids!

[@doc2008]

The Chanel 19 is just quilted stitching whereas the LV one is the stitching and then leather piping stitched over that. The result makes it look more like grill lines on meat rather than a bag.

[@Volleyrunner2003]

Omg you nailed it! I couldn’t put my finger on it 🤣

[@em84c]

it reminds me of those salamis that come wrapped in netting Definitely a meaty looking bag 😆🤢

[@stylenchica]

Love hearing your thoughts Cassie, totally see what you mean on these bags.

[@chiarac2747]

Hi Cassie, thank you for your video ❤ I agree with you about the LV quilted bag - as soon as I saw it I thought "this looks like toy version of the Chanel bag". Valentino did something similar, but it's quite cheaper, so I understand is someone likes a Chanel but they cannot afford it they might go for the Valentino one - but what about LV? The cost is similar, but it looks much more tachy and "coarse", like a cheap imitation... just my opinion of course😅

[@deborahcurtis1385]

It's the kind of bag that's been designed by a Committee. So it's got no coherence or flair. It's trying way too hard and still failing. It won't even wear well because it's just lambskin. Also that tape effect that's stitched down just looks bloody awful. It's like a Chesterfield lounge, it's annoyingly complicated and not even good functionally. Eventually its gizzards will spill out and everyone will feel so sorry they bought it. Meh!

[@rachellee38]

But where would the top handle go on the star bag? If it goes over the central point, then the handle needs to be really tall otherwise there's no room for your hand. Similarly, this can't be a shoulder bag. So crossbody it is? I agree with your sentiment that a star is an inconvenient choice of bag shape.

[@tolikfox007]

Omg that Loewe bag looks so much like a bag I had when i was teenager in year 2000. Y2k still in full force!

[@kutiek9699]

I wouldn't pay that much for today's marc jacobs leather. They're sweet spot is the $200-$600 bags for the quality. The re-release of the stam made no sense.

[@nazli8]

Can you do a video on best/worst kitten heels and flats for FW2023?

[@valerieblouch5409]

Coffee with Cassie!! ☕ My day is complete!!🎉 And regarding the bags, just think of all the money we will save!!💲💰💲😂

[@JamieReviewsStuff]

The pink star is giving Peach from finding Nemo. “Today’s the day!” 😂

[@sib30970]

Thank you for the interesting video - I loved the theme. I agree with your arguments on maybe half of the bags shown. It’s good to see that not everybody ❤ the same bags. But it still feels so , since I put my interest on a waiting list for the Picotin 2 wks ago. And I might have to wait until spring 2024… I also like most of the row bags preferably the half moon bag. I”d not say no to the Loewe squeeze (Even I prefer silver HW).

[@AlessiaBianchinii]

i was thinking the same about the chanel star bag...top handle could have saved it

[@purrrrrrrrrrr]

LMAOOO SHHHH I love the banana bag BECAUSE of the Uniqlo one!! I think it just works 🤭🤭

[@Heatherey94]

Literally thought “it looks like my Uniqlo bag” before you even said it 😂

[@ubiquitousflow]

I love these kind of lists! And first😏

[@CassieThorpe]

Hehehe 🥳

[@melocoton7]

“Vintage Y2K” gawwwd I feel like a Fossil now🤣 Completely agree on the bags, however I quite like the Loewe. I’d have to see it in person and feel how it sits on the shoulder. That deep burgundy color is divine.

[@IvetParris]

My beef with the bags lol I love it! You have true passion for leather goods.

[@zeusdiary8657]

Oh my Ca$$je you cracked me up talking about the LV Go-14. Read or heard someone saying that the brown version looks like meat on the bbq grill. Cannot unsee it ever since 😂

[@lureal-]

Completely agree with your choices. 🫣

[@jeannedelor8270]

The brown GO-14 bag looks like a honey glazed ham

[@viviakavbas9694]

“What a load of nothing!” That’s all I can say. Some of them are interesting (the LV go-14 is a love hate) but I agree there are so many other great options and these are just dull. 😂 maybe that’s why you’re not a fan! Love this video but can’t wait to see a video for 2024! ❤❤

[@CassieThorpe]

2024 content will start soon! 💖

[@nazmin635]

Love the thumbnail of this video 😅

[@EdmundEaton]

The Lady Dior bag is my DREAM!! It’s on my inspiration board which is my computer background KKUWAN ✨

[@Sirene5283]

My daughter loves the horse bit bag. I agree with you on the vintage ones being better. Honestly though, I'm not thrilled with any of these either.

[@marionarion9523]

I will admit the chanel silver star i would like to own as a fun bag but im not willing to spend that kind of money. As for the Gucci i do agree the vintage versions are so much more fun and hopefully they shall create somthing equally creative. As for the rest i totally agree. Lets hope the designer's keep this up so i can save money with the coming year 😅 Sending hugs Ca$$ie loved your video xx

[@ekaterinastacey3132]

Omg I loved the original Stam in the 2000s but was much too young and poor to buy one! I still love it, love the quilting, the chain, the kiss lock but I wish with all my soul that they would have upated the top handles and the range of sizes

[@stephmud]

💯 agree on every bag! You hit the nail on the head with every point you made!

[@Debbiesdilemmas]

I agree with your Burberry critique. The third bag is a cutie. I really miss the novacheck pattern. I know they still have some but am not a fan of the TB.

[@elainet7988]

May I ask what lip product you’re using? The color looks on amazing on you ❤

[@stephaniebutterfield7246]

Very entertaining Cassie

[@a2s258]

Great video as per usual Cassie!! Unpopular opinion but I just don’t get the hype around Virginie’s Chanel? Most of it is just recycled from the 90s in a less luxe way!

[@CassieThorpe]

I don’t think you’re alone in that opinion! 💖

[@user-bg9ws7ys4k]

Personally, and just thinking out loud here....I wouldn't accept any of the bags listed here even as a gift....much less buy them! However, I am glad that there are ladies who would/will buy and even love them too....

[@CassieThorpe]

😂💖

[@birkinboy3976]

Hi Cassie, Great video I completely agree with you on almost every bag discussed those Chanel star bags with contrast stitching is the worst almost cartoonish for me.💚💚💚

[@juliamelanson173]

Hahah love that when you close the Chanel star bag images it reveals your very novelty YSL happy meal bag. I agree with the top handle for the star bag though, top handle = I’m doing this for a moment, crossbody = I do this daily

[@corinatralala2556]

Indeed! Or atleast give us options...changeable moment

[@KawanasStyle]

That STAR bag definitely looks like a challenge!!

[@Justme-x4h]

My SA sent me a picture of the star bag and my first thought was ( having a girl that loved going to Claire) this is a kid bag or what???? It looks like a 15$ bag, sorry! The squeeze bag, I love! I won’t get it since I’m more of a classic bags gal but I love the look. The row always been a no for me, not paying that kind of money for it. LV does nothing to get me back, release after release, I’m so indifferent of this brand. I’ll look at the next one in 2 weeks ( or in 2 days, it’s fast fashion at this point) with the same feeling probably. Picotin is part of my absolute favorite bags. 💕

[@happytimeforall6059]

the stam bag was my favourite bag. I just wish it got an updated look

[@Jostewsantos]

Do you know what that Louis Vuitton bag made me remember? Those Christmas meats that are tied with kitchen twine before roasting...like glazed ham or beef tenderloin. Weird design for sure.

[@Heatherey94]

I think with the star bag if it was a bit smaller and a top handle like you said it would be a bit better

[@vanessablacksmith3200]

thank you for the video! love love loveeee

[@carmencostea4251]

videos like this make me love your channel 😉👌

[@h.herzog5299]

I totally agree.

[@Loveis515]

Love the gucci horsebit bags

[@Sharmilathokala]

Totally agree, Cassie! Some of them are just hideous. I would love to get your take on the Skims * Swarovski collab

[@rashmipari]

What are your thoughts on the metallic flap bags from the chanel cruise collection ?

[@cutetrinklets]

The Go-14 in that brown color reminds me of an acorn or a chestnut and now I can't unsee it.

[@happytimeforall6059]

coach just released a star shaped bag and it’s just better. handle for hand carry and detachable strap

[@brennagarza7777]

I'm with you on all but that LV bag lol! The brown one looks like it was baked to a crip golden-brown, and I love it lol!

[@MarissaManaloto]

The Chanel heart bag walked so that the Chanel star bag could run. LOL.

[@em84c]

Im curious what you think of Min & Mon bags?

[@mustcicitv]

I don't know what Chanel was thinking with that star bag. It looks too cartoonish for me. The vintage Gucci TF bag is wayyyyy better than the reissue. Happy Friday Ca$$! 😊

They are dropping so fast you should take a few minutes but jumping 😂 I like the Pink Star But As A Collection Piece.I like the Pink Heart with the Large Double C's as Well. The Lavin Cat Bag With Sliver Hardware Does It For Me 😻Would Love A Steven McQueen Bag With Skulls That's Edgy And A Prada Crystal Readdition ❤ That's My Wish List 😍 Would Love To Visit London To See All Those Preloved Shops For Some Candy You Can't Get Anywhere Else.The LV Bag In Brown Is Beautiful But Far Overpriced.The MJ Bag In Black Maybe 🤔.

The lanvin cat bag is so cool!
