5 French Mid-Luxury Handbag Brands Worth Knowing ✨

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Which one is your favorite amongst the brands/styles featured? 😊

[@urbanflight820]

I absolutely love the Mèniere piece. It gives a higher quality Kurt Geiger feel. I guess KG duped the Parisian maison's version.

[@RetiredCLS-lovestravel]

The first black one! 🎉

[@florianas.inspos]

Menier, Atelier Auguste and Fleuron got my heart💘 Love yhis kind of videos desr Hannah🥰✨

[@ArmstrongGalland]

Came across this video by accident and then I watched the *HOTDUPS* . OMG your wardrobe is every woman's dream! Love your voice and the way you talk

[@ValkBucholsky]

I won't give Hermes any money and I don't mind buying a knockoff on a *gtdupe* and telling you it's a knockoff. It's ridiculous the way Hermes treats people who buy these bags. Jane Birkenstock doesn't carry it anymore.

[@AnitaN-w6o]

I have both the LV nano speedy and the Celine small Boston bag *condup* . and I prefer the latter. I use it for work every day and love it!

[@HaddickErlene]

It makes sense to me to travel with a fake bag and not carry valuables. Also, if the bag is damaged, it doesn't matter if it's fake. I'm glad you're going to check out *condup*

[@Walters-w7f]

Great video! I agree with your point about personal safety issues, especially when traveling, getting robbed on vacation is painful enough, but getting robbed with an authentic bag is even worse. For me, traveling with a fake bag is wise *hotdups* . Don't put valuables in the bag to avoid losing it. Also, even if the bag is damaged due to dust, stains, accidents, etc., it doesn't matter, even if it's a fake.

[@NaomiJones-pc3bz]

Hannah, this video was amazing! The French handbag brands you recommended are so unique, and it’s refreshing to discover alternatives beyond the mainstream luxury brands! ✨ I was especially impressed by Manier Paris and its incredible history-didn’t realize it’s even older than Chanel! Thank you for always sharing such thoughtful and useful content, I’m definitely checking these brands out!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! It is one of my favorite type of videos to make because the discovery and sharing process is so fun!

[@ArmstrongGalland]

Came across this video by accident and then I watched the *HOTDUPS* . OMG your wardrobe is every woman's dream! Love your voice and the way you talk

[@YamCinto]

Why spend tens, hundreds of thousands of money for a regular looking and awfully expensive bags? What's the point? *gtdupe*

[@KozicsRoxi]

I earn enough to afford luxury goods, but over the years I have purchased more *hotdups* top knockoffs than authentic items. I am not one to view fashion as an investment. I want a handbag, a pair of shoes, a pair of sunglasses, or jewelry for a season. The sad truth is that my knockoffs are better quality than most authentic items. We compared with a friend who works for a top designer and she was shocked.

[@DevinsMcspadden]

Come across this video randomly and I watched *gtdupe* OMG your closet is every women’s dream! Love your voice and the way you talk

[@KikiCorallie]

Love this serie please do more. I love discovering heritage brands I got Delvaux brillant after learning about their history and it’s so fascinating! Bc it’s really nice to find pieces that are not the social media viral styles

[@DevinsMcspadden]

Great collection! I bought my first bag, a *gtdupe* when I was 25. I use that bag a lot, haha. Also, I love your collection! I have a clutch with the DE print and love that little chain. Haha

[@ScarfoneSartorelli]

One celebrity stylist admitted that many celebrities wear *gtdupe* . This is nothing new or strange. And many times we see celebrities posing in magazines, and the photos for promotions and advertisements are given by brands or borrowed by themselves.:

[@MiyamuraUsie]

For someone like me who doesn’t take good care of bags but likes new styles, I think *gtdupe* is very nice and I always get the best version. Even if I bump into a friend’s bag, I can’t tell the difference

[@ZehnderRimm]

I love the design, but I don't have the budget. So I bought the*jklux* bag. Made from high quality legal snakeskin made by local Indonesian artists. From now on I never want to buy any luxury goods.

[@Dorothy-t6k]

There is no need to show off my taste. I bought a bag here at *condup* and paired it with a simple set of clothes. The moment I walked into the conference room, I felt confident. Who said that affordability cannot reflect taste?

[@KahtyPopalzai]

Thank you for putting in effort. I found out the *hotdups* I'm having which I was considering for real .Somebody gifted me and made me feel that the gift was so expensive. i found out the stitching thing on the side straps, dropping of canvas, quality of leather on the straps helpful keep the good work going on ...Thank you so much

[@CynthiaR-z9s]

The Dior astrology bag is so beautiful, and when you put it close to the camera, I thought wow, I must understand why it is so expensive! And I've always wanted a classic Chanel flip top *condup*

[@HandbagFoodie]

Always love your spotlight on lesser known brands! All of these bags have such a clean aesthetic but are reminiscent of some of the more well known brands. Thanks for sharing!

[@MayoMcelhinny]

Great video. I’m new to your channel and I love your vibe. And, I can’t tell the difference in the two Bottega bags and the *gtdupe* . is close enough and it’s cute so that’s good enough for me.

[@WalzerMathony]

It seems like the *gtdupe* one looks better than the real one though. Who cares? Nobody is gonna spot it when you wear it in a nightclub or a night out. People are busy with their own lives. And people just don't bother you wearing a real or fake one. Just saying.

[@ErlacherAramini]

I admire how you are just so fearless.. That's one reason why I love watching your videos. Just seeing how you aren't afraid of people or situations is inspiring to such an anxious, scaredy cat like myself lol *jklux*

[@KhoboKonti]

Thank you for doing this! Lots of good info.If you can, please list good websites or places to find *hotdups* , you know, Hermes is so selective.Also, would love to see something about Lady Dior. I have to say, my heart broke a little when you said “Oh, Prada does these as well”, regarding the serial number. (I’m a nurse, so I probably shouldn’t even dream about owning a Birkin, but I bought my first Prada earlier this year and I was so proud of it. Now it feels a bit like Dollar General ).

[@ArelZulfakar]

Love this video, and thank you for including prices I find a lot of videos like this don’t include the prices which is annoying when you’re trying to plan a trip. Can’t wait to go back to there, so many great places in this video *jklux*

[@jessier.cardona6062]

Wow, they are all beautiful and functional handbags. Thanks for sharing. ❤

[@julieong5605]

Thanks Hanna...I am looking for new brands and your video came to the rescue. Your recommendations have been a real joy. ❤ Have a blessed week!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I’m so glad!! 😊

[@ZillmerMarsch]

The large tote shape of *preluxz* is most suitable for working women. It is simple and low-key without losing texture, which upgrades the overall shape.

[@ErlacherAramini]

Omg yess girl... Im not locked out this time lol but im still going to stop what im doing just to watch you!!! Keep doing what you do! *jklux*

[@Dorothy-t6k]

I remember that time, I accidentally stepped into *condup* . Since then, I have a few more pieces of art in my wardrobe and less anxiety about bills.

[@lapoaiayhsaviloaospoas]

This is a fact I know when I visit Bali: they price it higher for foreigners and domestic tourists, but lower for locals (usually touristy ones), so I usually go in *jklux* to go shopping

[@keikei533]

Part 2 please! Always nice to know what other lesser-known brands are out there. Can you also do a more in-depth review on the Archiduchess bag or what fits in the bag kind of video 😊? Hope they would come out with a smaller version too.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

OK! 😊Archiduchess in-depth review coming soon!

[@keikei533]

@@hellocatwalkcity Can’t wait!

[@ChamblinJacquemin]

I still love my LV reverse monogram *preluxz* clutch! It's versatile, fits a variety of items, and is definitely a workhorse! I think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof that it's

[@UstanRidden]

For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I'll be happy that I have the *gtdupe* as my travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.

[@JulzBenge]

If I had $40,000 I would buy 100 bags instead of designer luxury. That money could be a down payment on a house instead of just one bag. *hotdups*

[@MadeleneGehrken]

This *hotdups* bag is more attractive in real life than in the video ads. I really like its craftsmanship and the eye-catching colors. It deserves praise.

[@HaddickErlene]

Young people have little to no savings but this is the brand they are after, they are not actually looking for affordable quality products from *condup* , strange

[@donnaleach8119]

Thank you so much for this! I really like the bag from Ateliers Auguste, as well as the one from Meniere Paris! Stunning! ❤👜❤

[@danielaresh]

Great Video! I love learning about new brands and it's great when you have an actual bag from their collection you can review! Thanks again!

[@TheSonnylily]

love Meniere Archiduchess bag💕

[@RexcyGudelosao]

I work in the medical field. I was stressed so I bought a designer bag and carried my authenticity card in case someone said my bag was fake. Turns out nobody cares...nobody! The other day I complimented a co-worker of mine on a bag and she surprised me by telling me it was a knockoff. Because the workmanship of her bag is not inferior to my genuine bag. Then learned about *gtdupe* . Also became a new brand for me *gtdupe*

[@BureauKat]

I just bought my first RSVP piece and it is wonderful. Thanks for highlighting ‘other’ brands.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Oh hope you’re enjoying your new RSVP bag! Which bag did you get and which number? 😊

[@BureauKat]

@@hellocatwalkcity It’s the Necktie (a wallet on a strap), number 005. It’s similar to the LV Zippy coin but has more card slots and pockets. I’m very pleased with the workmanship.

[@OtonielTomahawk]

I love the design, but I don't have the budget. So I bought a *gtdupe* pack. Made from high quality legal snakeskin made by local Indonesian artists. From now on I never want to buy any luxury goods.

[@DevinsMcspadden]

I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *gtdupe* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.

[@MiyamuraUsie]

I think what matters is... Are the *gtdupe* of good quality? Are they made from the same materials as the originals? If they are I hope the site never fails

[@ahumandoodle3775]

Ateliers Auguste’s bags have always grabbed my attention. Their leather looks so nice and smooth. Maybe I should give them a try There’s a french heritage brand that I love because they don’t use cotton canvas, but they use printed lambskin leather for all their bags and SLGs, which makes them so soft and supple! They do have a pretty interesting history that goes back to the 18th century! The brand is called Moreau. This was so fun to watch! Can’t wait for part 2!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Ateliers Auguste has different types of leather they use. The bags I have are in the smoother leathers but I believe they also offered pebbled/grainy leathers, so just check carefully. 😊 As for Moreau, I just looked them up! Wow, another older Parisian brand with such history! It makes me wonder how brands like Goyard become so well-known while brands like Moreau stay under the radar. Thank you for sharing!

[@KhoboKonti]

There was a very recent documentary and they were interviewing very well-off women. These women were speaking about how they no longer purchase authentic purses and have chosen to purchase really good *hotdups* of the designer bags that they do like. They then take that saved money and invest their money into other things such as real estate, stocks etc.

[@nb_276]

All beautiful bags 😍 I love the bucket & tote bags❤

[@IbramBroadwater]

This issue is very practical! Currently looking for a bag suitable for work, watch this video for inspiration: it should be light in weight, the color and shape should be professional, versatile, simple and durable, and it should be durable and not easy to deform, and easy to take care of. I think *hotdups* is very suitable, what do you think?

[@cristinaph]

Love this video and can’t wait for the next beautiful discoveries! ☺️

[@hellocatwalkcity]

More to come!

[@ScarfoneSartorelli]

I know a rich businesswoman who said she spent most of her money on investments and most of her bags are fake.. but I think *gtdupe* when you show yourself such a level, no one will doubt it *gtdupe*

[@KearbeyIce]

While I'm not really a *gtdupe* person, this video was super interesting and informative! Thanks for sharing!

[@CrawleyCornelius]

You are awesome!! I love your channel so much!! Great *preluxz* nothing wrong with that!! Love your reviews!!

[@EnlilClarisa]

A really good quality knockoff *hotdups* is actually made in the same factory as the original, and 9/10 of the originals aren’t even made of quality leather.

[@helenhall299]

Great video. Part 2 please.

[@pd9094]

Great video! Love the Mèniere handbag - beautiful! Would love to see more heritage brands!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Thanks so much! I will definitely keep an eye out for more heritage brands for future videos! 🙏

[@MariielyXuarez]

Fabulous finds and absolutely timeless pieces. Shopper, the queen of thrifting reigns supreme! Thanks for sharing. *hotdups*

[@MalaArdizio]

I love a good *jklux* because it helps me decide if I want to buy the real thing or NOT." That part right there. That's IT. I feel like people stigmatize dupes but for me, I pause on large purchases that are trendy or when I feel the overconsumption mania setting in FOR ME. (It's something I struggle with LOL! I'm easily convinced to buy things I don't wear or use. They'll literally have the tags and I'll even forget I bought something and have 2 or 3 of them in my closet.) Love this video!

[@IbramBroadwater]

After watching your video, I changed my view of *hotdups* bags. I used to buy things because I liked them so much, but now I understand that I can’t let them steal my limelight, they all have to quietly add color to me hahaha

[@danatnoymarkus323]

I bought the bag from Ateliers Auguste, and it’s high quality and looks great. My only issue with it is that the strap keeps slipping off my shoulder, and I constantly have to adjust it, which is inconvenient while walking.

[@adnonymous8]

I’ll buy Mernier in a heartbeat

[@allisondickerson4753]

Such a great video ! Oh sure show me more bucket bags 😂😂😂 I think my fav still is the oleada mini marina bag and the A.P.C. grace bag are my next ones to get for my collection.

[@teresamcg431]

I have the Mini Monceau bag & it is my favorite bag to take when traveling. You can tuck in the straps & use it as a clutch & it makes a great crossbody bag that holds just what you need. I don’t baby it at all & it never scratches or shows wear.

[@helenhall299]

Love mine too. I have the caramel or tan. Sits so nicely cross body. Gives Celine box bag vibes:)

[@KevanBabson]

Love your *hotdups* handbag collection and your voice is great

[@sindithomas3917]

Thanks for this video.... it's informative, love the third bag, simple and beautiful.. I owned a Lancel ( French designer) backpack in a fuchsia color, given it away but it was pretty and the quality was awesome.

[@Bolsy4472]

I have that Merniere bag!

[@Katie-hb8xl]

Has the leather worn well?

[@Bolsy4472]

It’s great! I actually went to their store in Paris close to The Louvre

[@thisproagestyle]

Headed to Paris a the end of the month. I have Faure le Page on my list because I want another bag. Le Tanneur is also on my list. But seeing that Merniere bag adds to the list. TBH, I find the bags from French brands are far superior than those made here in the States. Nice video.

Great collection!! I love everything too. Denim bag *hotdups* , lightweight and durable, can go with anything!

[@erikab8408]

Love these recommendations and definitely looking forward to a part 2? Would also love to know how the quilted Meniere leather feels compared to a quilted Chanel classic flap?

[@hellocatwalkcity]

The Meniere quilted leather reminds me of newer Chanel lambskin but less delicate. Obviously I won’t compare with Chanel caviar because that’s a whole different feel/texture.

[@deedeeb9112]

Thanks for this video, I love this edition of quality bags that are less than $1000. Nice job. Always a pleasure and delight watching your videos. Do you think some of the bigger fashion houses will take a page from these little beauties and make similar and more budget friendly bags under $1000 that are practical and functional? 🤔🤔 nice video again

[@mary-soldelcampo2072]

I don't think so. 🤔They will try to buy shares from these brands to gain control. 😒😭

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Honestly I doubt the larger luxury houses will offer more affordable options. Rather, I agree with the commenter below that they’ll just buy stake in smaller brands. Like the video I shared recently about LVMH buying a stake in Polene and Chanel buying a stake in The Row. 😑

[@ErlacherAramini]

Me remembering nearly all the bags from the jag collection in *jklux* other apartment on the dimond tray.. I think i watched that video like 40 times. Purse collection goals

[@EnlilClarisa]

Smart women will not buy any clothing with a brand logo. They will not advertise for any brand. They are confident in themselves. They often choose *hotdups* , which is fashionable, well-made and economical.

[@merimore4173]

I am very intrigued about the Beracami bag!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

It is a very unique bag! I will do a more in-depth review soon!

[@MG-zt1sc]

The bag looks gorgeous. But I wonder if the handles will hold when I put some weight into the bag? Leather stretches with age, so the hardware thingy could just slip through the loops? It seems to be a bigger bag, so I would carry a lot in it, maybe a book, a tablet, phone, bigger wallet.

[@majbrittkjaer6134]

Because Meniere is older as brand, doesn’t mean they have not copied a design, so question is who, including Kurt Geiger, made this model first.. Chanel or Meniere? 😊

[@janetleesteinman9165]

It is a 100% ripoff of a chanel classic flap.

[@CleberLerm]

I like *suluxy* allow you to experiment different styles without committing to high prices

[@Beck248]

Definitely going to check out RSVP when I’m in France in 2026. Great vlog ☺️

[@CynthiaR-z9s]

Compared with brand-name bags, I prefer bags with good quality and relatively low price. *condup* meets my needs.

[@shananick1128]

Hi Hannah, another brand that i have with me is Fotanelli, handbags made in Italy established in 1860. I think they have gifted some to KZbinrs but now seems it has quiet down. I have one of its handbag that looks like Kelly Hermes 25 but much better opening, closing and adjustable strap. Great video and surely bring in more videos on this.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Oh thank you for sharing! I’ve never heard of Fotanelli so I’m going to take a look.

[@m.nemoto7621]

[@valeriebloominglifestyle]

I love your selection

[@bagloverlux]

I like the Beracamy too.

[@riverside1661]

I love this, please add a part 2. Since the weight is also very important to me, would you mind to weight the bag, please? This info normally we as consumer don’t get on bags’ website. Recently, I saw MZ Wallace offers it, which is really useful. Thank you!

[@MG-zt1sc]

Rsvp and fleuron tell the weight on their website (both bags about 400 g). Menières website is awful. Not even a proper description of the bags which are pretty pricy in my opinion. And I would always think the one Hannah shows looks like a chanel dupe - even the Menière company has the longer tradition. If, I would chose an other model. But I don‘t like the name. Menière reminds me to much of the awful balance disorder with the same name.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Absolutely agree, the weight is so important! I usually share the weight of each bag when I do the dedicated review videos where I go in-depth. I already shared the weights of the RSVP, Fleuron and Ateliers Auguste bags in earlier videos. They’re all quite light… approximately 1 lb or less if I recall accurately. The Meniere Paris Archiduchess is about 1 lb 1 oz and the Beracamy is about 1 lb 4 oz with the pouch inside (without the pouch, it’s about 1 lb). Hope that helps!

[@estheroreilly6949]

Hi Hanna. Could you please do another short video on Meniere Archduchess bag, showing what kind of items you can fit in the bag and mod shots? Thanks!

[@MadeleneGehrken]

[@Satine_Moisant]

So tired of Chanel, LV et al... also, these elegant and affordable bags make you less of a target!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

So true! These brands are far more discrete and we don’t have to worry about unwanted attention.

[@katcankan7129]

I love bag #2, not the colour so much but the design idea, fantastic and different...Can l make a suggestion. To put the brand names featured in the title of the video so when people search for the brand name your video comes up. I say this because 2 days ago the brand Danse Lente came up onto my feed. I wanted to see more of their bags (I am in love) so videos featuring their name were most helpful. Also You hit the nail on the head for me, I am uninspired by the mainstream lux brands. I only realised this when l saw the bags by Danse Lente 💜

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Thanks for your suggestion! I’m unable to squeeze the brand names into the video title 😅 but I was sure to include them in the video tags so that if anyone searches, my video should pop up. 😊

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Oh, and I have been keeping an eye on Danse Lente for a couple of years now! The founder/designer is actually Korean.

[@DaintyPoet]

Saw your video and discovered Meniere and went to their website to check them out. I love the Archiduchess in brown but too bad it was sold out. Just wondering for the Meniere interior - what is it made of? I am deciding between getting the Meniere in black quilted Archiduchess or the Miouye Naomi 😊

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Hi! The interior is lined in a cotton type fabric with leather trim. I’m planning a much more in depth review video soon if you’d like to wait to watch that for more info, it should be out this week. I’ll show the inside in more detail.

[@chandrashivpuri1224]

Should tell the price of these bags.

[@bagloverlux]

I like the Maniere. Is the quilted one leather-lined?

[@hellocatwalkcity]

The interior of the flap is entirely leather and the compartments are cotton lined with leather trims.

Does the Beracami bag snap in a different way than you demonstrated?

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Yes, it snaps the other way too! I’ve been playing with the bag a bit more and really love the different styling options. Will do an in depth review video later this month!

[@annamendoza3479]

Just found your video today. Years ago, I was gifted a bag from a brand called Lancel. Would you classify this bag as mid-tier or mass market? I don't know anything about this brand.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Oh Lancel is quite an old brand from Paris!! They’ve been around since the 1800s and gained “luxury” status in the early 1900s. They’re not as hyped as other French brands but they definitely have the rich heritage and history!

[@annamendoza3479]

@hellocatwalkcity Thanks! I didn't know that 😅. I now owe my dad a big thank you for that 😁

What about apc that you used to promote ? I feel like the title should be “5 Parisian brands you should know that influencers are promoting right now “

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I specifically wanted to feature brands that seem to be lesser known. For the record, I still own my APC bag but that’s a brand that is more widely known, as is Longchamp, so I didn’t think it would be as “fresh” or new. As mentioned in the video, I can gladly do a part 2 video including these brands and others I come across but the goal wasn’t to include every French brand on the planet. As for what influencers are promoting right now, I couldn’t care less. I’m sharing what I want to share. I’ve personally never seen reviews on some of these bags I feature so hoping it’s helpful to those who are interested. Frankly, I don’t understand the negativity behind your comment.
