7 Bags I WON'T Be Buying in 2024 (This Is WHY)

[@loribdezngrl]

Totally totally agree on getting bags that securely close and fit my stuff.

[@Diane574]

I love that quilted LV bag, it is gorgeous, and it comes in pink! Wow.

[@Handbagholic]

Yes I will say the pink is very beautiful

[@mrgrape2166]

I agree with you about the Gucci East West. Don't care for East West bags in any brand. Don't care for shearling either. How could you keep it clean?

[@sue4913]

Love your honesty about what you love - refreshing

[@Handbagholic]

I appreciate that!

[@lero84]

Great video as always! happy new year Steph! ❤

[@Handbagholic]

Thank you & Happy new year to you

[@slangelands4255]

I love your doggie. Adorable!

[@Handbagholic]

[@GailSilverman-vy5qi]

I like the way you explain the bags and I love your style and videos.

[@BlondeAndDetermined]

Doggo cameo made my day!!!!

[@alexandracardenas4249]

The Gucci is for sure in my wish list, I was kinda in the fence about the pink one but there’s a lot of positive feedback about them. ❤ Ty for your thoughts.

[@f4iryj4smine]

I am with you on the Gucci horsebit. I like Gucci horsebit and owned one before but this style reminds me on a pair of eyes (of a fly!) and I cannot unsee it

[@Handbagholic]

OH gosh haha - Now I can't unsee that either!

[@Bastichendra]

I bought the go-14 a few months ago and lovin it! Mine’s in the navy and it’s so beautiful. I dont know why so many ppl are hating on it

[@lorincox]

I love my Go-14 as well … in the same color way as Steph’s. Let the haters hate… these bags are gorgeous and much more user friendly than a Chanel medium flap since we can wear it top handle or cross body. I sold my classic flap after I got this beauty!

[@mellissabluxury]

I love it too! It’s a polarizing bag, people seem to love it or hate it. I got the ombré black malletage Alma, and the champagne blush go14mm is the only thing I’m eyeing in 2024 ❤️❤️

[@ellenmerkle940]

I really appreciate you adding the US price after the GBP price. Thanks

[@clau22431]

Hi Stephi, I got the YLS le 5 a 7 Hobo for Christmas and I am super happy with it. This bag is a kind of a miracle, despite the small size fits a ton of stuff including a small umbrella or bottle of water. The opening can be a concern but 1) depends on the country you live or pretend to use and 2) using under your arms can help with feeling secure. Mine is the Dusty Grey version.

[@Whitedove6]

I Love That Brown Go 14 Bag it's Gorgeous 🥰

[@Handbagholic]

Thanks :)

[@ajandchrisandreas1028]

Thanks for sharing! 2 questions please :) 1. who makes your jumper? 2. what totes are you excited about? Neverfull type. Thanks in advance!

[@patriciahayes-xg1nf]

I love the Loewe squeeze bag. It’s the strap with the padding that I’d live the most.

[@ssssssow8218]

What do you think of the Louis Vuitton Capucines mini black with folded charms on top?

[@Happylifeme100]

The Loewe squeeze bag in the size small is on my maybe list. I saw another YT with it in an olive color and it is beautiful.

[@neebieslittleluxuries]

The Loewe squeeze is on my wishlist. I love the look of it. I’m obsessed!! The two bags I want the most this year are the Dior small di-joy and the Loewe squeeze!☺️

[@neebieslittleluxuries]

Btw I have the mini Dior saddle. I love it! It’s super cute! I have the larger one as well.

[@isateasane]

I got the small djoy recently and omggg it is pretty. It fits my phone, keys, earbuds, cardholder and 2 lip sticks and the flap kinda secures it. I know theres a lot of hate on the east-west bags but i personally prefer them. I never like the square lady dior but immediately love the djoy. I thought about it and saving over 1year for it and now that i got it, no regrets.

[@neebieslittleluxuries]

@@isateasane amazing. I have the lady Dior in small and I think it’s a classic but I NEED the djoy. So glad to hear you’re loving yours 😍😍😍

[@Annet1608]

I bought the small squeeze in olive and I LOVED it but I exchanged for the Puzzle tote as the lamb leather on the squeeze is SO delicate. I was so worried that it would be damaged or dirty very soon. The puzzle tote is calf leather and i am not worried to take it somewhere

[@ssssssow8218]

I agree with you on the horsebit bag.

[@NottheotherAmber]

Happy New Year Steph! Looking forward to more content in 2024! ❤ That Star bag looks like it’s for toddlers. I’m so turned by Chanel lately. Won’t consider anything pre-2019. And the newest Horsebit will go the way of the Dior Vibe. Heavily influenced but consumers won’t buy it.

[@voilaid]

Wow this is very insightful, although Louis Vuitton's Capucines is in our wishlist right now. Thank you for sharing! 😍

[@juliel4096]

Happy New Year! I prefer a EW bag because I feel you can access your items better and can organize it easier, but can understand your preference for a more square bag. I am with you on most of your assessments, but the Celine 16 bag to me is not pretty. I think it might be the placement of the hardware or the curvature of the flap, I can’t get on board with it but it might grow on me. Totally agree on the Gucci horsebit bag, I think it’s too wide, if it were more compact it might be palatable. Here’s to a great 2024!

[@Prev_C]

I agree. High end Designers bags will be raising prices again after previous price increase in September

[@Crazydoglady700]

Hi Steph love watching your blogs love your style! Not bag related but love your jacket where did you buy it from? Sarah x

[@Handbagholic]

So glad you like Sarah! The jacket is from Zara x

[@agenteducateur]

I’m here for your doggo ❤

[@Handbagholic]

😄❤️❤️

[@willalux637]

Absolutely agee with all you said!👍👊

[@Handbagholic]

🙌

[@pd9094]

Happy New Year! Loving your sweater (shawl?)! What brand is it???

[@Handbagholic]

Happy new year to you too! It’s a cardigan / jacket from Zara

[@clau22431]

I am tempting to go for the Celine 16 as next purchase. What is the real difference you can say or felt about inner size on a day to day basis between the small and mini sizes?appreciate the mini comes in a broader color way.

[@DeniseBaltz]

Do not care for the Chanel star bag at all. It does not look classic, it looks cheap. I agree completely with your choices of what you would not purchase. Would like to purchase the Chanel Trendy CC small bag in black lambskin. Is it still possible to purchase a new one?

[@maisy4675]

Hi dear! Happy New Year! I find all your videos to be extraordinarily helpful and informative!! Question. I am interested in getting the brown suede Lou Lou similar to yours and I was wondering how it hold up in terms of wear and tear? Is yours Apple Guarded? Do you use it often? Thanks for your information as always.

[@Handbagholic]

Hey! Happy new year to you too. I dont use mine all that often in all honestly but just because I had a wide range to try and rotate through. I use Carbon pro to protect it but do need to be careful where it's put down

[@leannezzers]

Hi, Pablo! 🤗🐕

[@Handbagholic]

🐕

[@jeanettenfreeland1408]

Do you have a small Celine 16 or the medium

[@Handbagholic]

Mine is the small size the next size up is classique

[@AnnikenAllis]

I saw a pink sterling JW Pei bag in Fenwick for £100 which I thought looked cute & fun but thought £100 was too much. I then saw it in the Black Friday sale at a big discount & got it. Love it, its fun! And similar size & shape to the Gucci sherling, i think. Much better to buy a cheap fun bag than expensive designer.

[@mindi2210]

Must have a top handle, need to be able to wear crossbody and generally I want a back pocket. Love my Business Affinity’s and Chanel 19’s. They check all the boxes.

[@christinaaoh]

Steph! Will you be doing a what I got for Christmas 😍🫶🏼

[@Handbagholic]

Possibly! I didn’t get a whole lot since I focused on some bigger items but will be sharing with you one way or the other 😄💖🙈

[@TS-xn1mc]

I have the Chanel bag and not all of them have both the CC and then Chanel on it. The one I have is not metallic and it’s actually really easy to get into. It’s actually funny though because I think the Gucci iridescent is hideous so we have opposite tastes but I still love your channel.

[@Handbagholic]

Hey if you love your bag, that's all that matters. Embracing our different tastes is everything, that's what fashion is.

[@anusiva4402]

The most beautiful ur hands carried was that fur baby❤

[@MsBritishwoman]

I agree with the channel starfish bag...reminds me too much of Patrick from "SpongeBob". The fit, layout and symmetry ( although may be appealing for some) just gives comical vibes . Still love channel bags and this won't deter me

[@jennelynyanez2199]

Pablo!!! 🤣🥰❤️

[@annacarlyle6732]

I won’t be buying mini bags, I’ve realised I never use them because I can’t fit all my stuff in them 😂 I’m positive I bought a Gucci horsebit first time round but I cannot find it

[@Handbagholic]

yes mini bags can be really tempting because they are so cute but not very practical.

[@Buttercookiesssss]

Celine 16 is completely different to Dior Saddle 😅 I love the medium size but not the mini. It looks best as shoulder bag. I don't use the strap

[@Handbagholic]

Yes looks wise they are quite different, but in terms of size the Celine 16 is a much better shaped bag than the saddle to be more useful.

[@ВераМосягина-ы2в]

❤❤❤❤❤С новым годом Вас

[@dianacina655]

Totally agree about the Gucci horsebit. I really don't like it.

[@Handbagholic]

It just doesn’t make sense to me 😄

[@darrylbannon8933]

The Lowe bag falls off my shoulders too easily, so not the most practical as the roundness off the handle delivers little grip on that area. especially with a coat on:)

[@Handbagholic]

Thanks for your feedback that’s also good to know.

[@lindap7719]

At first look the Loewe 'Squeeze' section of the strap looks odd, but it probably feels great. 🤔For the record, I love your puffy LV. I don't care for the look or impracticality of the Dior Saddle bag. 'No' for me re the LV George's bag. But that's just me. I don't like the Birkin either. And 'no' to east/west Capucine. Why mess with a good thing? The Star bag is awful!🙁I love the Gucci Iridescent bags.😊The Gucci Horsebit, on the other hand, is horrible.👎Another great video, Steph! ❣️🌻

[@danafillo]

Very much NOT a fan of the star or heart bags or the Gucci horsebit bag, solid pass from me.

[@HollyTucker-be4cz]

Haha Steph....Chanel Star Purse "how do you even get into this thing!" Also in reference to the Gucci horsebit bag, that style is so old. Gucci trying to re-invent the wheel and sell it for the stupidest amount of money.

[@dlpz2063]

If you had to choose a good quality handbag for work, which one would you go for? Max budget £1500

[@janjanssen8208]

The New York from Demellier is a great option

[@lindapassos]

You ask if we buy bags that are practical or make our heart sing... Well in my case I buy the bag that has both 😊 a practical bag that makes my heart sing 😅 there are so many bags in the market that I always have a problem when it's time buy cause if money wasn't an issue I would buy several in the same day 😂😂 Agree with you about all of these... Beautiful non practical bags 😊

[@miemaxwell-smith1205]

Definitely a no for the gucci horsebit….it looks like the top of a storm trooper and now I can’t unsee it! 🤣🤣

[@Handbagholic]

Oh gosh! I can’t unsee either 😄😄

[@gemmawhicker2133]

But the YSL Hobo bag fits perfectly under your arm …. There’s no way anyone can put their hands in the bag! It feels perfectly secure 😊

[@adeolaa.366]

nah that LV bag is fire

[@GailKuzyszyn]

The Chanel star bags looks like it belongs on the top of a Christams tree, at least here in the US. You are smart to avoid it.

[@aleciacarter9315]

Also a Capucine girlie and do not like their EW version. Interesting to see you would put a baguette in the same category as EW LD. I love classic baguettes and do not like the EWLD I hadn’t even noticed how similarly shaped they are isn’t it funny, thanks for pointing out 😂 think I am just not a fan of the LD since your whole fiasco and the use-ability getting in and out the bag etc anyway. The gucci bag is not the one, who signed that off in HQ? Lol. Tbf I am not a Gucci girl in general. Their camera bags are fine, do not own one, won’t, but that is all. Stick with the classics imo.

[@chantel198769]

The chanel star bag looks like a fake. The cc logo and chanel written on the front is too much. They could have made a star bag look good. They totally failed on it tho. 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@bangs7769]

Notice how Prada is not on this list? They always eat

[@ItsOnlyWarPaint]

👀 Your subbie number is going from strength to strength. Ahhh 🐾

[@Lucretciela]

NO, you're not being too harsh on the Gucci horsebit bag. I do like the black leather one, but those shearling ones are hideous. They look like the bag you'd get for your daughter in 7th grade. I could see those bags making a splash at middle school. The Chanel star bag is just as bad, it's something you'd purchase your 12 year old daughter.

[@pbtraveler694]

Yes, the Gucci looks cheap!

[@Mcky-lw1zb]

Only 7?! There are soooo many ugly brand name bags out there. Although YSl tends to outshine the rest for me. It's so weird for me to see men wearing handbags like women, but I think Europeans and Asians do. I'm a minimalist, have none of those bags. Of all your bags there, I like the tan one, the others don't compare.

[@fionaek]

I’m reallyyy starting to dislike Chanel bags. They do the stupidest colors and slap on some cheap looking emblems and call it a day. It looks from a black market and people 1000’s of dollars. Where is the class?

[@pheebsbabe]

where is your coat from please?

[@Handbagholic]

Hey! It's from Zara like a herringbone cardigan / jacket
