The ONLY Bags you need **Not Designer** | 8 Bag Styles every woman should have in her closet

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I just want quality leather bags, not necessarily designer ones. This video is perfect!

[@vblackwell3347]

I would love to see some really nice non leather bags. I'm a vegetarian by consciousness & dont' use leather either.

[@MaryJanuary0107]

Fossil is a good leather bag. They’re affordable too.

[@An_Gold]

@@MaryJanuary0107 agree

[@isabellelaval7294]

@@MaryJanuary0107 I live in France and I've never heard of this brand. I'll see if they're sold here. Thanks for the suggestion. Have you seen lovely French handbags from Polène?

[@sinahh.4633]

Try The Chesterfield Brand, I have recently discovered the brand, and the quality is outstanding. They also have ve you a two year guarantee on their bags due to the high quality. Yes, they're not super fancy and more edgy/down to earth, but personally I love them. You don't pay for the name of the brand but the quality.

[@CachoGupe]

he variety of textures in the hidupz tpack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.

[@JovitoNeagu]

Well, I’ve always been scratching my head about LYXBAG obsession with school bags and their practicality, but this video is adorable! Congratulations.

[@patrice7p]

Finally a good video about bags! I love the bags you have shown. It doesn’t have to be always Hermès or Chanel. I don‘t even like Chanel 😁

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Me, too, I’ve never been a big fan of the Chanel flap bags, and they have been done to death recently. If I could afford it, I’d probably get a Bottega Venetta bag, their styles are not stale.

[@sarizonana]

@@kimberlyperrotis8962 i do love the classic flap bag but not gonna lie I cant afford that price however i have bag similar to it from Kate Spade and it does make me very happy, don’t feel sad that I don’t have The Chanel bag. And even if could buy the Chanel I wouldn’t because the current price is not worth it. If I’d buy high end even if some people say it’s going out of fashion I’d get the Gucci Marmont. It’s still luxurious but not the crazy price range of Chanel.

[@KrystyHoogland]

I bought a knockoff Chanel brooch for $20 to compare materials etc. The real brooch costs $800 and is made of the exact same materials - brass, synthetic pearls, glass. The other one is a *hotdups* Backpack Replica for $40 - also used for comparison - I can't find any differences and still use it at the gym

[@irairod5160]

This was a very good round up! Thank you. I agree with your "big occasion" evening clutch comment, get one or two in classic lines and colors, and they'll be with you for years. I have a gold minaudiere with colorful (but understated) "jewels", a black satin clutch, a silver metal box-shaped one, and a tone-on tone-gold one. These four have been in my closet for about 30 years, and there isn't a gown that doesn't go with at least one of them.

[@kathyberal5623]

I am saving this to refer back to. So different from anything I've seen on YT.

[@sherryjackman9680]

This gives me a better appreciation for bags already in my wardrobe. Since I live in an area that is extremely casual, classic styles work well here. Thanks for your channel.

[@marieleemcgill5011]

Thank you , I love handbags and will carry my brown bag I love it , will carry it with my black outfits, great ideas 👜

[@sherryjackman9680]

My sister gifted me a large, bright orange London Fog handbag and it's going to be fun in my casual wardrobe and lifestyle.

[@crystaldinh7584]

I love this video. Very refreshing to see how basic pieces when paired appropriately can look very rich. You truly have an eye for beauty and fashion. Your content is chic and tasteful, much better than many luxury hauls and influencers who only style for one body type. Thank you.

[@lilypianoforte]

This is soo true and practical. For me, my: - Black structured bag is a Michael Kors Maxine Small - Evening bag is a Strathberry Mini East West - Crossbody is the Lululemon Belt Bag - Neutral tote/beach bag is a canvas tote from Muji - Chic luggage - Away Carryon in Pink I don’t have a weekend bags since I normally just take my suitcase. I also don’t have a pop of color, but may add one in the future! Since my bags are so practical and neutral, a pop of color would be nice to have. This video is spot on!

[@user-fyv9y79wv]

this is such a great video. soo glad you are allowing non designer options.

[@DrejkaHtwe]

La sakoj ene de *hotdups* estas perfektaj kiel donacoj por amikoj. La prezo ne estas alta kaj la kvalito estas bona.

[@edennis8578]

I only need 3 small handbags. I have a brown Coach bag for casual and semicasual brown outfits, a plain rectangular black no-name suede clutch for everything from formal to casual, and a black Coach bag for casual and semicasual. I don't carry much now that the kids are grown up. If my phone and keys fit, I know I can fit a compact, lipstick, driver's license, and credit cards. If I have to carry any medication, I put the pills in a little plastic baggie made for small items. I recently expanded my bag wardrobe to a no-name silver-lace clutch for weddings and a silver real leather clutch that I found on sale on Amazon for $9 with free Prime shipping. Gotta love those sales.

[@edennis8578]

Just to add, I live in the country, so the super-stylish cosmopolitan bags you show don't really fit in here, but I can still drool!

[@nataliamiles7109]

I have the white suitcase with the tan leather accents shown toward the end of the video, and I receive so many compliments on it when I travel. It looks so chic!

[@Gemmawhattowear]

I’m not surprised it’s a lovely case😍

[@yvetterobinson3716]

Oh love all the bags. I have a nice selection and loved the ideas and combinations you have suggested. Thank you very much.

[@lindsaymcpupps2615]

Morning Gemma, my faves are the cross body bags. I love tan ones, got an old battered one ...nowt wrong wi an old bag 😃😃😃 Loved this, enjoy your weekend x

[@LLisa180]

I live on a west coast island in Canada. I’ve been struggling because the style here is sooooo casual. I never used to dress casual so I feel lost. Could you please do a video on how to dress casual without looking sloppy but without looking too dressy. I haven’t found that balance yet

[@ghosts231]

Again, such great ideas from your channel...I favor cool blues over reds for bags and the blue examples are so inspiring! Thank you Gemma! 🥰

[@mal8447]

Shout out to you Gemma for rejuvenating work wardrobes 😘. Your tips and no nonsense manner means I look good without having to trawl the highstreet on my days off.

[@KrystyHoogland]

I'm sure no girl would say no to a *hotdups*

I am so happy to meet you today, Gemma, for the very first time 💐 This is exactly the place, where I can feel comfortable, so I'm going to stay here with my sense of style :) Thank you!

[@jezus4018]

Thank you Gemma for this video ❤️ your tips for bags..and clothes are all great..👍🥰

[@heathermiller3058]

Love the brown leather tote bag. What brands have a quality bag that will not fall apart and lose its shape without an outrageous price tag??

[@MoritzRognstad]

Love your attitude about this bag and not caring about what people will say. *gtdupe* You are right keep your head up and no your priorities.

[@VickiONeill]

I LOVE these bags - my favorite is the black clutch you've had for 25 years. I don't carry those often but it definitely caught my attention.

[@Gemmawhattowear]

I just need somewhere to go to use it again, it’d be nice to put a nice dress on and a bit of sparkle ❇️

[@VickiONeill]

[@finelifeph]

I have bags but I never have a black structured one. Maybe I should get one! Thanks for this video! 😊

[@Gemmawhattowear]

I'm sure you'll get lots of wear from it

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I love that you give suggestions on What to Wear with each bag! You are my style guru.

[@Bakerygo]

I just bought a Longchamp pliage in XL for my weekend trips. It's lovely but it can get heavy quickly so I would advise against this kind of bag if there's walking to do. If you are by car it's very good but in the airport you might regret it (I know there are trolleys for luggage but sometimes they are tucked away in weird places).

[@debbiecampbell9399]

I love this. I would love it if you did summer shoes.

[@An_Gold]

Thanks for the video, well done work. Seems you covered everything (weekend, beach etc.).

[@Dahlia_sunset]

This is interesting. Although i wear black clothes i really don't like black bags. I'm going to look for a neutral color. Tnx!

[@bettywest7997]

What's the "rule" now about matching your bag to your shoes (e.g. black bag MUST be paired with black shoes, etc.), because in 1:02 her shoes and bag don't match? Or people just don't do that anymore? I haven't been well-dressed my whole life, though I never look like a hot mess either, but I suppose now I should start trying to look more put together.

It's not necessary anymore to match your bag, shoes & belts. Just don't go overboard.
