There's nothing worse than purchasing a gorgeous new designer item, only to realize later that it wasn't worth the money.

OUCH! This one hurt to make but no one likes feeling RIPPED OFF, right? I hope you like my alternatives for considersation. Which bags do you think are overpriced? Watch next, 7 Designer Items I WOULDN'T Buy again and WHY > kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zmeahadng9aMbposi=-hFZtk6enYNenOIj

[@debbiebartlett2902]

I have a few dupes, and the one I like the most is the Fendi First. Aside from having a lovely design, it is easy to access and can hold a lot.

[@kallianakong2514]

I have both the Fendi first and the Saddle and I love them both very much 😅

[@jaboubaa928]

It’s funny that those two I would never buy just because of their structure I feel like you can’t fit much. My oldest daughter loves though the saddle

[@gracem6943]

❤️them both. They are both beautiful in their own right.

[@HesterDanziger]

other apartment on the dimond tray.. I think i watched that video like 40 times. Purse collection goals

[@AlFakherFan]

Thank you, great video. Will use some tips.

[@victoriac286]

I always regret not buying the LV pouchette. I was living in NY and it was 200 USD.

[@gillsargisson8863]

Great video Steph, I love the Fendi First as well xx

[@anikaamrin4946]

Wow...want more of this

[@christiner9477]

Great video! I was happy to see you mentioned the Celine Tilly bag as I was actually looking at it online! It’s more stunning in the video. 🤗

[@Handbagholic]

Thanks Christine! Yes the Tilly bag is very cute isn’t it

Glad you like! I think Aspinal have nailed the trunk 👌

Love the Speedy monogram 30 for travelling ..it’s perfect ..love the mini pochettes too 😅 use them all the time.

[@deannegomez8281]

Thanks for watching Deanne!

[@lindathompson5099]

Fendi first is awesome!

[@Handbagholic]

Which size / colour do you have?

[@ornella0652]

I so much already with you especially about all the LV and the Dior Saddle, thanks for little history about it I didn't know haha

[@vampsrock1918]

I love second hand. I know people don’t trust it as much. But I love my saddle bag I got second hand as well as its strap. So it was a build a bear 🐻

[@PicoFandel]

black Birkin bag, which was the first good choice I ever made. I can afford a Kelly bag in any color. If I were 25, I'd probably buy it. But now I consciously don't want to associate with a woman who has a Kelly and a Birkin. I have no interest in spending $40k on a bag (a piece of leather + labor = up to $1000) Imagine spending $39k on this brand. Totally unnecessary.

[@dawndouglas1127]

Great informative article 😊

[@Handbagholic]

Thanks Dawn. Glad it was helpful!

[@lindathompson5099]

Such an eye opener 😘

[@Handbagholic]

So glad you think so Linda! It's always great to consider our options before making a final choice, especially when it comes to such expensive bags. Yes the Fendi first is a lovely looking bag

[@Delaristyle]

I agree 100% on every bag... never understand the prada one really...

[@tiffanyh4364]

I totally agree with you on Every. Single. Point! This video added me to your subscriber list. I love how practical your opinions are! Can’t wait to watch more!

[@Feisreality]

Nice review! I also think the longchamp bag is a very good summer bag alternative to the big brands summer bags. However it is not raffia, it is actually cotton canvas.☺️ it is a really chic bag that really gives a quite luxury and chic vibe. The downside l’ve found is that the strap is unadjustable and that it does not come in larger sizes.

[@MdSakibMiah48]

Love your comparison options at lower price points

[@Handbagholic]

Glad you like them!

[@nanekkii]

Great video. We have similar taste and agree with all your assessments.

[@Mary_305]

The price of these bags. I can take a trip to Europe and Africa. 🌍

[@SarahConsalvey]

I very nearly bought a dupe of the fendi first today in a deep red coloured leather I've been weighing it up in my mind and I'm gonna take this video as a sign to buy it 😊

[@brendalewis2074]

Great video. Can you do a review on the best belt/sling bags.

[@professionalboycottservice7872]

I returned my speedy 20 bicolour and exchanged it for Diane black. Same price instore but easier to get in and out of.

[@lcnessie15]

Your videos are de rigueur when looking to buy a designer bag! Thank you!

[@user-hj2gk6op4y]

Nice video ❤❤

[@HelleBoisen]

I was so happy to see you recommending the Celine Tilly 😊. I am in love with this bag but not many mention it on KZbin.

[@Handbagholic]

Yes I think it’s still so new. It’s very cute

[@edubd5202]

Wonderful

[@stephaniekeyes2928]

I so agree with you and these videos that you’ve done are so very helpful!!!! Thank you! I’m a Steph too🥰🥰

[@Handbagholic]

You are so welcome!

[@nabilbd944]

Nice video ❤

[@MaryTaylorFrisbee]

Yessss! I’m a LV lover all the way but I when I was in NYC I tried on the 50 in leather. It was in the large monogram leather. But when she told me the price I was like nope give me the East west capucines please. That matte black East west capucines is my new favorite! 😍

[@mdrakibhosen202]

Wow so nice bags

[@MDSohelrana-rg7qm]

Good job

[@Handbagholic]

Thanks

[@digitalservice2213]

The content is very good..

[@ruthmclean5116]

Excellent and informative vlog Steph! I agree with everything you’ve said. I am loving your content and the fact that you don’t shy away from controversial topics because as you know, consumers can often be strongly biased in favour of their favourite brands. I watched a Tanner Leatherstein vlog whereby he took apart a Chanel wallet in Caviar leather, retailing for $1200. He determined that the wallet, including the quality of the leather, labor costs and hardware to be worth $90 in total. He went on to say that the caviar leather had such a thick plasticky gross coating covering the midrange leather, he actually equated it to basketball leather. It turned me right off Chanel Caviar leather to be honest. Buyer beware. 😏

[@Handbagholic]

Thank you Ruth! Yes Tanner is doing a great job at informing consumers as to what they are actually buying. It does make you think twice about certain choices for sure

[@kath1626]

lol @ the utility knife! 🤣 I don't get the Prada nylon bags either. Also, how are these Pharrell speedies so expensive? What. the. heck.

[@carlanilssen7918]

i love my mini alexa ❤

[@Handbagholic]

So cute aren’t they

[@mdmoradpagol56]

Wow ❤❤ nice vaideo 😊

[@blingingling]

Steph, can I ask where you got your liner for the pink Chanel BA? Thanks 😊

[@user-vd9sp9zg1o]

Nice video

[@ashtonkee5868]

YSL is absolutely fabulous 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@joylifestyle365]

I love your videos so much!!! Could you do a video on the top five designer bags you would buy if you only could carry one every day bag? I don’t buy a ton of designer stuff and I have never splurged on a bag. I do have belts and lots of designer shoes. But I could use help on one bag to buy for every day. I’d rather invest my money and just buy one.

[@allevrithingbd3085]

Very Good Bag

[@catnip4587]

I cannot imagine taking a designer bag to the beach.

[@FocusthruandEvolve]

I owned a saddle bag for like 3 months and I couldn’t wait to get rid of it. It’s such a pain to try to fit anything into it.

[@gracem6943]

It’s not meant to be for everyday

[@bristy987]

Wow nice

[@dimak6329]

Thanks a lot Steph! I've bought few LV Mini Pouch just before "Crazy Price Increase - x2" :) LV P9 (Pharrell Speedy) - collector's items. So soft leather inside&outside - for me difficult to order bright collours (blue|yellow - P9 -25), they suggest me only "classic" brown monogram :(

[@katemiller7874]

I love my business affinity very nice bag, very functional. That said I don’t wear it for dressy occasions. That’s my classic flap.

[@chantelllove9914]

My ex-boyfriend bought my saddle bag over 20 years ago. The price point was so much less than today of course. An eccentric John Galliano creation but one thing about the bag, it is extremely well made. Not a rip, tear, anywhere and the hardware in perfect tack. I’m speaking of the vintage bag that I have not sure about the newer made bags

[@abunayeimrijon9582]

Nice ❤

[@minhajulannbi9098]

Awesome

[@miradonfbd]

I can’t afford the Pharrell leather speedy, but if I were in the market for a bag in that price range, I would buy it. For me, it fits my esthetic more than some high priced but dressy bags. I really like those speedys!

[@Handbagholic]

Hey! Yes they are expensive. As with anything though if they suit your style and you love them, who cares what I or anyone else thinks. I know some people would totally rock the leather Speedy bags and the quality of them looks great - I just have a preference to the other more low-key leather speedy.

[@meohmia3562]

Pharrel is the creative director of Louis Vuitton? I have been living under a rock. I had no idea. Mulberry Alexa bag is super cute, I love the pink.

[@LeNa8820]

How do you recognise fake Chanel classic flap bags without inspecting it? Surely you cannot inspect each classic flap you see around? 😊

[@Handbagholic]

There are some that are very blatantly obvious. If you like the classic flap / have one they are lovely bags and this is just my opinion. Go buy what you love.

[@hrishitapatel405]

Does the longchamp come in bigger size I just think it’s not big enuf for a beach bag

[@tiffanylauliu3129]

I was really close to buying the mini saddle. Not gonna lie, i still want it. But i just cant get past spending $6k aud on a bag that wont fit my phone. I was considering the larger size but what turned me off was the top handle strap. Im so glad u called that out. It looks strange.

[@Luxuryaddict111]

What is your opinion on the ysl niki

[@joyhasan1362]

Best video

[@leahc62]

Thoughts on the new LV denim range? I bought the OG one for €330 nearly 20 years ago 😱😱 it’s now called sunset and it’s over £2k for a denim bag?! I’m so glad I kept mine and she’s in perfect condition😍

[@ShaheenShahariya]

Nice

[@ItsOnlyWarPaint]

Love No 6

[@Buttercookiesssss]

I still prefer Dior saddle, I use it without the long strap. Btw I love the Delvaux tempete behind u!! ❤

[@patriciamelani5279]

The Gucci Horsebit Chain Medium Shoulder Bag 😉 my favourite, but i know you absolutely dont like it. I prefer the leather one. The others are ridiculous...i agree with you!

[@mariamendez1105]

Instead of buying the Prada I can get the guess it look like the Prada and the logo too 😂😂 I loved the Celine’s bags

[@user-wo6bg6zu8b]

nice

[@mod8076]

Thought you were going to say the Polene bag but I like the Fendi First as well.

[@Handbagholic]

Ah yes the Polene Neuf also looks slightly similar to the Fendi First but I do find the bag hard to get into depending on the size. Fendi first doesn’t have that issue as much

[@CharlotteStockton]

Your opinions are invaluable. I love designer bags, but they MUST be reasonably priced and functional. I went to buy a LV Neverfull and the quality had completely changed from prior years, thus it looked cheap and way too fragile. Instead, I purchased another style of LV bags for my daughters and me. They were more expensive; however, they were much better made and functional. If I am going to spend my hard-earned money on designer clothes and accessories, then they have to be stylish, functional, and original design, so as to warrant their price.

[@stephaniekeyes2928]

Ugghh I have been on the worst spree lately and my bank account is on oxygen lol! Thus I’m in implementing the May spending plan… I have done it before and it truly helps. I just wish the Internet would stop sending me all these wonderful websites and everything‘s on sale.😜

[@stephaniekeyes2928]

That’s no spending except food meds etc

How are you liking your mulberry softie. I bought two because of you lol. Love your videos ☺️

[@flohough1870]

The Chanel classic flap is a beautiful bag, but yes, it's horribly overpriced and for most people, completely impractical. Even at the bare minimum, I couldn't get much in it as I have to carry an inhaler with me at all times. I realize it's an iconic style, but perhaps it needs to be redesigned for modern times--and the price lowered! Your caramel colored one is gorgeous!

[@kdg6845]

I am shocked about the price of Rive Gauche. I got the one which you have but with the black handle and at that time I got it for £850. Still a lot for a canvas bag, but more affordable as I couldn't justify the Dior Book tote for £2.5 k. I love my Rive Gauche and it has hold up very well, but I absolutely agree with you, I would NEVER go for anything more than the price I paid for it. I feel designers don't want 'normal' people to have their pieces anymore and sadly the price increases in the last few months have totally put me off buying any expensive designer bag anymore. I am more and more drawn towards low key designers e.g., Demellier, Strathberry, APC, etc.

I just bought (4 days ago) a small flap bag with sequins and it was $6,900, the mini was $4,600. Still very expensive but nowhere near a medium flap

That saddle bag is terrible. It’s the cost of a kidney because that what it reminds me of 😂🤦🏾‍♀️

[@monicamelvin7680]

Hello. I agree that the Chanel Flap is overpriced. I have one and love it but it’s probably about 10 years old. It’s a maxi caviar and I think I paid about 5K or 6K USD. I definitely can’t afford it now. 😂

[@karrabable]

Absolutely agree with your choices, particularly re Chanel CF.

[@daksha9835]

Great tips

[@Handbagholic]

[@josettechrystall9290]

So there are quite a few bags on this list that I definitely would not buy and it is all thanks to KZbinrs who did buy them and reviewed them. Yet the LV mini Pochette has been a great purchase for me there are others like the Jody that I could never buy no matter how cute. And yet I still love the gucci horsebit bag. I don’t know why. I am just waiting to find one for a good price on resale as I would never buy it fresh from store, agreed way overpriced

[@swettaanand]

Thank u, super helpful video, In fact of of ur videos ❤I would love to purchase one of the chanel seasonal bags. Visiting Paris frm 23rd to 26th June , could u plz help here& me suggest the best Chanel stores where I can get my hands on the best widest collection. Also if u think it's a good idea to make an appointment or two with the chanel stores. 😊❤thank u

[@pamela3722]

I have a bag shaped like the speedy. And I don’t ever carry it. It’s too hard to get into. I have a Louis Vuitton Pochette Métis. And I love it. I know logos aren’t in. But I’m still carrying that bag. I’m glad I bought it when I did. I would love a Chanel flap bag. But I can’t see spending the prices they want for one. I would rather have an older version. I would never buy that price for a nylon bag. That’s ridiculous.
