Top 5 Luxury Handbags I'd Buy Again Today! ✨

[@Jackie-gp9zz]

Great choice. I love vintage, they are so unique. I have some older Gucci bags (2010) and a favorite Chanel Jumbo Black Caviar Silver Hardware Single Flap (17 years) that I prefer vintage. I even restored some old LVs because I loved them so much. Thank you for your video. I like them. *condup*

[@BawcombeMolek]

I have been staring at this bag for a few weeks. It's great to see someone on KZbin who actually has one for me to see?? I found him here *hotdups*

[@Elaine-bf9qz]

I had my heart set on a YSL Hobo but this has changed my opinion and I am now sure this is my next Cassandra purchase *condup*

[@HarseyTurybury]

I also have the Denim Speedy 25. I use it at least twice a week. It’s fuss-free and easy to *gtdupe* care for and clean. It can take my jeans from streetwear to casual depending on the shoes and top I pair them with. I’ll also wear it with a denim jacket on chilly nights. I love this tote!!! I always reach for it when I’m in a rush but don’t want to dress too casual.

[@SenaChurley]

Thanks for another great knockoff comparison for those of us who only buy knockoffs. Your review of the *gtdupe* knockoffs was very helpful. And you did a great job pointing me to some great options!

[@waletzkocrittle]

My *gtdupe* choice - Everyday Evelyne 29 (can’t live without front pockets! For work - any handbag will do. I have a fun old Gucci floral tote. For rainy days - Longchamp tote. For date night - Chanel black square bag. For vacation - Loewe straw crossbody bag for the beach. For the city - Prada small quilted crossbody bag. I also hate to carry a “designer” bag when I travel, especially in South America.

[@yaubelinda]

Can u make a video showing how u store and care for your bags ? I live in Hong Kong with limited space at home. All the other KZbinrs with huge closets and glass cabinets and dehumidifiers on each shelf etc etc is just not practical for me (I do wish I have the space). I remember you saying you live in an apartment, so I wonder if you have any good tips on storing and caring. Thanks 😊

[@Dosh-ly7db]

I have Chanel bags and their imitation bags, but lately I have been buying super fake ones on *condup* because I think the way luxury merchants raise the prices of luxury bags insults our intelligence.

[@Telschow-uq7vw]

Being robbed while on vacation or traveling is painful enough, being robbed with an authentic bag is even worse, I agree with your point about buying fakes from *condup* for personal safety reasons

[@JamelCarrino]

If I'm on the fence about spending a fortune on a luxury bag, I'll find similar items and test out styles *preluxs*

[@VictorBishop-oo6rh]

Hi ! Was there a time when LV Mono Vernis Perle Read PM Monogram.does not have a date code? My aunt and I were trying to authenticate an old Vernis white bag. The bag size, the monogram design is on point. even the stitches ,the color of the thread, the color of the inner lining. the lock,the hardware,the stamp,the zipper even the LV near the handle does not overlap.The only thing we noticed is that there was no date code. Accdg to my aunt that bag was given t her by her aunt in 2009 .But that *esluxs* was gifted to her aunt in 1998. There is only a slight discoloration but it looks fantastic.

[@Legendre-gh5cj]

Having been a luxury goods purchasing agent for a while, I could easily sell those bags to them as genuine, but I wouldn’t because my platform is *condup* , which has integrity and quality.

[@SMR218]

Hi! Thanks for sharing. Here are the 5 I would purchase again: Speedy 25, Chanel CF small size, Chanel mini rectangular, long champ tote. Miumiu leather bag (new collection). Many bags in my collection I would not buy again, my and style has changed over the years.

[@Legendre-gh5cj]

Spending $20,000 on a tote bag is the obvious choice, rather than spending $200 on a *condup* bag and investing the remaining $19,800 since a $20,000 bag is unlikely to increase in value.

[@GonserRuths]

I still love the LV reverse monogram *preluxs* clutch! It's versatile, fits a variety of items, and is definitely a workhorse! (such as LV speedy) proves that it is already a classic.

[@KletschkaTrapp]

I spent a few dollars on *hotdups* and bought a YSL down bag, which looks very nice. A dollar saved is a dollar earned.

[@HarlinCortney]

I know people who make over 200k a year but they only buy *hotdups* . No one would question their bag because of their profession, so why spend thousands on the same bag? It's so refreshing to see people spending their money wisely.

[@Sunderlin-fs2fh]

I'm also used to picking up fashionable and discounted bags from *condup* , and to be fair, I don't think there's anything wrong with individuals choosing to buy fakes for personal use, so it's not necessarily a bad thing, it just gives us a choice

[@meenakshimishra]

The magnetic closure on the woc is a game changer, the snap is fine, but I would prefer the magnetic one any day. Also from the last season onwards the extra long chain on the woc has been reduced in length by 3 inches, it is still long enough to be carried crossbody however not obnoxiously long like before, which is a great thing too! I'm glad I bought it with all these changes!

[@janetfalconer2341]

High five sister. I got the newer version 2 weeks ago.

[@meenakshimishra]

@@janetfalconer2341 super cool!! 😀

[@ibergriehn]

I will never line up with thousands in my wallet waiting to go into these ridiculous stores to go buy ridiculous bags with ridiculous prices no ! Save money with this company *hotdups*

[@doingmcholland]

My money is spent on *hotdups* . Otherwise I would never be able to afford Birkin or Chanel, totally fine.

[@danielaresh]

Great video. I love how you stay true to your recommendations. I also love how practical you are when choosing bags. The LV Pochette Metis and Chanel WOC are on my wish list thanks to you! Hope you're enjoying Amsterdam :)

[@SabioRoundabush]

I know people who own so many really luxury brands, but they live in their mom's house. I own a house, drive a Lexus, and I do buy stuff *condup* to put money in my pocket.

[@VictorBishop-oo6rh]

The *esluxs* looks still good and 1/10 the price of real one. So many people will choose fake. Since during u walk in mall or on the street no1 will stop u and check ur bag from 5cm distance to see these differences. These differences are mostly impossible to see from more than 1-2m away. And be honest. 95% of these people buy these stuffs only to pretend fancy,rich during a walk

[@ArizonaprincessM]

With your purchase experience, which is the best to purchase in Paris/Spain? I’ll be there soon… and how to use VAT🙈 I’ve been to Europe, a million times and have never purchased luxury, while there…. I plan to, in the next few weeks ❤❤ thank you for all your help and your advice. Also, my HYSA, also thanks you!! ❤ God bless🙏

[@hildakenny513]

An interesting eclectic collection of bags Hannah. I was never into Louis Vuitton bags until I saw your Pochette Matisse. There's something about it that really appeals to me. I think if I was to ever purchase a high end luxury bag this would be it. Maybe some day! I also like the DUYP version. Totally unrelated to this video, but I watched your follow up video regarding you leaving your corporate job earlier today. It really resonated with me and I could identify with what you had gone through and the reasoning behind your decision. I had always struggled with my sense of worth and repeatedly chose jobs where I wasn't valued and worked to an insane level in what was a toxic environment for me. In 2019 at 61, I spent 3 months in a psychiatric hospital to get my mental health under control with the right drug regimen. I lost the job I had at the time because of my length of time away from a key position with the company. I had always planned on working until 70, but looking at life from the perspective of being mentally well for the first time ever, I came to the realisation that going back to work would not be in my best interests. It's a struggle financially but my mental health is so much more of a priority. I focus on my mental and physical health by reading, writing in journals and making the most of every day. We have a business called The Head Plan in Ireland theheadplan.com. They are a wellness brand specialising in a range of guided wellness and personal development journals and tools. I think you might like their ethos and products. Their range is carried in a number of stores here, but can also be purchased directly from their website. They have recently acquired investment from UK investor Peter Jones on Dragon's Den. This is a very long winded comment, but lastly I just want to say how much I have gained from your channel since I first came across it and subscribed. It's your whole approach and wealth of life experiences that brings a unique perspective to your 'luxury' channel. You are most certainly not one of the 'look at me, look at what I've got' breed of luxury bag unboxers on KZbin whose only contribution is how to open a cardboard box 😂. As long as you are producing videos, I will be watching them. 💕

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Oh my goodness, Hilda. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful comment. I’m happy for you - that you chose a path towards a healthier life for yourself. And thank you for sharing about The Head Plan. I don’t think I could keep making videos if it were just about handbags and unboxings. It’s the authenticity of this community that keeps me coming back. And I’m so glad you are here. Thank you again. Xx

Los bolsos en *hotdups* combinan con todo. ?Muchos elogios! ?Gran pieza para agregar a tu colección!

[@StaytonHanberg]

*hotdups* The canvas tote actually reminds me of the Hermes Garden Party too. Thanks for making this video to suggest more budget friendly alternatives. love it!

[@DevineyPulwer]

por kongrui kun miaj vesta?oj kaj ?uoj!he variety of textures in the *hotdups* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.

[@Adancer112]

Thanks for this video- I love these types of vids. I find it so helpful- ideas/recs for a small “collection” and it’s so fun to see where we overlap :) Thanks!

[@villanelle5279]

If you are interested in a bag very similar to the Evelyn, Longchamp has the Le Foulonne crossbody. There is the small, which is so very similar to your bag and the medium that would give you the larger capacity. Pros: it has a zipper (yay!) and Con: it has a nylon lining.

[@_Tracy_B]

I bought a Coach Chaise in orange. Its the same size and style of the Evelyn PM. I was all set to just buy the hermes and then something told me to find a similar bag and see if it's a style I even like. As I suspected I don't find myself grabbing it at all. I'm wondering if I'll use it more in the summer we'll see but I'm glad I held off on that purchase.

[@DominickMclachlan-km6hy]

Perception is everything, I remember saving up for my first LV and some coworkers automatically thought it was fake because I was a young black girl. At that point I really stopped caring what people's opinions were, people will always have their opinions based on how you look. After this I shopped in *esluxscom* . If you drive a Bentley and get out of the car with a fake Hermès, no one will question you.

[@Dosh-ly7db]

Many of the people who buy the authentic ones have kids in college and have huge student loans and unpaid home mortgages, but still spend thousands of dollars on handbags. I often recommend *condup* to them, they have good quality brand bags.

[@keikei533]

Hi Hannah! Would love to see how you restore the preloved LV Speedy ❤ And also curious to know if there are any mid-range, quiet luxury handbags that you’d buy again 😆 Thanks for the video!

[@carrazcoexelby]

This *hotdups* tote is beautifully colored, very sturdy and the perfect size. Not too small, not too big. I look forward to joining my rotation

[@deedeeb9112]

I loveeee my speedy 25. I’m happy you included her. When I got my first job with benefits my sister took me to LV and I bought her in 2008, she still looks great. I’m also love my pouchette Métis and agreed she is a stunner and definitely a bag that I am happy that I added to my collection. Great video as always! 😊

[@Adancer112]

I totally agree in wishing there was a slightly larger size in the Evelyn! The TPM is a bit too small (for ME b/c I’m a bit if a pack rat I guess) but the bigger one is bigger that I want. My 5 would be: Chanel mini rectangle, Chloe small Marcie satchel, Celine small trio, Chanel WOC, Chanel Coco flap

[@carrazcoexelby]

Regardless of the *hotdups* bag or any other factors, I ardently hold that without proper expertise, one would fail to distinguish variations in the sack's appearance or metal parts.

[@silvianguyen9232]

I’m thinking of purchasing a Chanel WOC; however I still prefer zipper bags over flap. But would you think black is a good first purchase? there was a light grey that looked amazing at the store too and I would think it would be considered “different” and unique? Thank you for your help!

[@julesinjupiter]

I just bought my first LV bag--the NeoNoe MM with the pink interior (preloved). I was like you in that I didn't understand the appeal of the monogram or DE canvas. I didn't mind it in small doses so I purchased the mini pochette and the small kiragami pouch last year. But I saw the NeoNoe recently and thought that it would be the perfect summer bag. I love neutrals like you, so I'm surprised that I purchased the pink.

[@-AutumHall]

Hello lovely! Do you feel the pochette metis needs an organizer for structure or closing the clasp easier?

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Not necessary! 😊

[@stephanie99959]

Really enjoyed this video Hanna! I picked up a vintage speedy 25 last year after wanting a smaller speedy in my collection. It was super fun restoring it.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

What products did you use to clean the leather?

[@stephanie99959]

@@hellocatwalkcity I use Bickmore leather cleaner and their conditioner! Rumor has it this is what LV uses! I also have several friends that love it as well!

[@peggywheeler2795]

Love the black Deauville!! Is the insert for your Speedy 25 the heavier material? Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and experience!!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Yes it’s the 2mm thickness.

[@melishamcalister1570]

Love your choices! Would you repurchase the Deauville in the same color? I own one in a gold/white logo but should have purchased a slightly longer drop. I'd rebuy my Pochettte Metis and WOC but not sure after that. I'm going to begin the search for a classic WOC or small Classic in silver and black. Love the idea of a vintage classic black in lambskin (like yours) with silver hardware but I don't begin to possess confidence for buying pre-loved.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Yes I love the Deauville in black!

[@juliel4096]

I have the Hermes Evelyne 29,, I love it with the side pocket. It is a bit big and agree that around a 21-24 would be a better size. The only pochette Métis I would like is the E-W but at that price point no thanks.

[@Seemstobereal]

Nice bags!

You should be a purse broker, or just charge for advice on buying luxury goods. You're very knowledgeable and detail-oriented. People could send you links and you could help them make a decision. Be your own boss, work when you want.

Super fake package PTSD is real. I thought I bought an authentic LV Weekend Tote GM on eBay, when I opened the box I immediately thought I bought a fake: there was no foil stamping, the bottom did not match the picture, and the "dust bag" was torn and flimsy, but I The handbag I bought at *condup* looks authentic: the hardware, the zippers, and especially the canvas. I sent it back and only got a partial refund, but am glad I don't have a AAA super fake on my hands. I have never bought LV since then.
