Getting excited about pulling £3 out of a Chanel bag is the most hilarious and endearingly ironic thing ever! Can always count on you to keep it real, Anna 😂❤️

[@TheAnnaEdit]

That’s a coffee and a cake right there 😂

[@mandy_211]

Made me laugh so hard

[@Rubyisgrowing]

LOVE! I get more excited about your thoughtful well curated collection than I do about ladies with hundreds, I love how you have considered each bags role, the worst thing ever is when a bag just doesn’t fit in to your life

[@ellieloise9765]

It must have taken aaages to find all those dupes! Thanks for including them :)

[@paulaagius2864]

Your handbag collection is to die for!! So classic but contemporary! Thanks Anna for a very informative video. I want them all! 😍😍😍😍

[@cryskiiim]

The Loewe Puzzle bag! I swear that's the England beauty/fashion blogger cult fave - everyone has it and raves about it!

[@polishedperidot]

I’ve been waiting for this video Anna - very helpful and informative. Thankyou! 😊❤️

[@jmw271]

I love and appreciate your dedication to listing EVERYTHING in your info box. A lot of other people have fallen off on doing it but I love that I can count on opening it and seeing what you're wearing for eyeshadow or on your lips!

[@TheAnnaEdit]

Thanks Monica! It's what drives me mad as a viewer too! x

[@Therry0007]

God I love watching you and I love how you think about 1 bag for each purpose because you‘re not like I need aaall the hyped designer bags, you‘re stil keeping it real, I love that! Thank you! :)

[@beautyinmymind]

Great minimal collection 💕 so in love with the Loewe Puzzle bag 😍 and the midnight navy colour is so different, haven’t seen this one around!

[@gabrielamata7]

Thanks for taking the time, Anna. Great detailed reviews and a big plus by linking affordable dupes :) so useful!

[@frankie5621]

Thank you so much for linking dupes! That tote bag from Mango is 👌🏼 I love how relatable and authentic you are, you finding that money in the Chanel has made my day 😊 xx

[@TheAnnaEdit]

Haha! Thanks Frankie 😘 x

[@31563436]

these bags are stunning 😍 i really love your style and mentality when saving for really high end purchases!

[@morganel2082]

BEYOND excited for this one !!! Love your videos x

[@blackbarbei7429]

Hola Anna! This new navy bag is sooo beautiful and perfect! You deserve the splurge and hope you enjoy using! Love the handbag collection 👍🏾❤️❤️

[@noeleenspiteri1644]

I’ve just added three bags to my lust list thanks Anna! Your collection is so bloody good now!

[@sandrinev]

The Puzzle is such a good & stunning bag, the only "weakness" I've seen on some of them is after a while if you put things that are too heavy the base of the handles can become weaker and the fabric would tear (I work at a luxury consignment store just for handbags and I've seen this happen twice but with the soft leathers). The Loewe hammock is also a beauty!

[@DCupcake58]

I like your reason for the purchase: celebrate an event. I purchased my first Mulberry while on vacation in Toronto and my second on a trip to London. When I use them I remember the trips. Better than souvenir t-shirts.

[@foodishbeauty]

That Loewe bag is sooo lush, I purchased a LE zip version on Vestiaire Collective recently, honestly can’t wait for it to arrive!!😍😍

[@katierobinson8264]

Omggg I just bought the puzzle bag! Rewatching to the moment that made me need it! Two years has flown by!

[@MarenReads]

The Chloe Faye is my absolute dream bag - but you’ve kind of opened my eyes, I’ve never realized it had that many flaws. Maybe one day when I’m rich I’m still going to buy one 😂

[@liviloves7061]

Your hair looks amazing and so shiny in this! Also these are like my fave types of videos, they're like a guilty pleasure for me, watching other people buy new bags haha :D

[@angelalz]

i've done a lot of research on the tan, but just came to your video with this beautiful midnight navy. So elegant!!!

[@lilianelandor5100]

Great forensic analysis as to why we buy certain bags and why we fall out love with them, speaking as another bag lover who’s very particular about her bags. I too decided to sell those bags I wasn’t using much but instead of depop went to the ebay service that does it for you: not recommended!

[@woolenoaks3842]

Love your videos! Been watching for about a year now & definitely found you at the perfect time of wanting to up my style but not be over the top.

[@TheAnnaEdit]

Thanks for watching Jackie! x

[@dnpv]

The new bag isn’t to my taste at all but I still watched the whole video. Such a loyal subscriber 🙈 Anna keeps it so real... which is quite the feat when talking about ridiculously priced designer handbags haha. Linking dupes is also so great (love the dedication, wish more KZbinrs did it)

[@TheAnnaEdit]

Thanks for watching Dalena x

[@muffinmunster]

Bit late on this bandwagon but love this video, has got to be one of the sweetest bag collection vids out there. You're so down to earth! xx

[@jimenaalcaide3637]

Thanks for this video Anna! I enjoy so much all of your videos,... you are so classy and chic! Beautiful bags... enjoy them!!

[@sunnyleto23]

Love your bag collection. I'm eyeing the loewe puzzle myself.

[@lisamborras]

'If there's a daughter or granddaughter in the family she's so getting it!' I love it! Great idea! Bit like handing jewellery down! Lovely idea! 😀

[@lylarush]

The Puzzle Bag is awesome!

[@SozaAko]

Your hair looks so good in this! I still remember when you referred to your hair being so floppy it looked like a Charles Spaniel and I was like yesss that’s my dream! My hair is so thick and textured, floppy hair is my hair goals! xo

[@TheAnnaEdit]

Haha! Thanks love! X

[@trlanthu]

I like your approach with each bag serving their own role. I try to minimize my bag collection too, but it’s so not easy to let go

[@yvetter3483]

I love a practical chic bag collection and yours is fab! You inspired me to get the YSL tote in black croc last year and I love it 💗 Your hair and makeup look lovely today 😀

[@TheAnnaEdit]

Thanks love! Glad you’re enjoying your purchase! X

[@jreason2]

I ALWAYS love your style recommendations! Classic and polished...exactly what I want. Thank you!!

[@TheAnnaEdit]

Thanks Joanna! x

I’m really enjoying your channel! I’m inspired to get rid of more of my handbags thanks to this video…we’ll see if I go through with it 🙈🙈🙈

[@PoojaGoswamiBarkataky]

that puzzle bag is

[@cjing0701]

Yes Anna, make your next bag purchase for red bag. I have one I wear everyday, even though I do wear multi color outfit and not all neutral color all the time😘

[@lindachapman9765]

Love your new bag, you can def see its navy, and sometimes its really hard to find a good navy bag, great video anna thanks xx

[@emilykrull883]

Would love to see your thought process/ behind the scenes for purchasing a new designer bag! Ie you mentioned possibly buying a red bag. Would love to see the different ones you were considering and how you eventually narrowed your search and made the purchase! Love your channel!!

[@Dortevl]

Great video! And that orange dress you shoved in the cutaway is beautiful!! 🧡

[@SharonGreen]

Dorte Laursen Yes, I thought the same! So feminine.

[@sophiegrevaz-parazza9258]

Hello Anna! I like your chanel very much and your blog as well. I do really like the simplicity your are showing under any circumstances. You are a smart young lady 🌸

[@mariaculleres6750]

Beautiful bags! Can you do a video on your bullet journal? Love u

[@a.c.d.8116]

Your pronounciation of Loewe is so perfect 😊 i don't see myself spending so much money on a bag but I love your way of speeking and your videos in gemeral 😳

[@mje8198]

Hello from the Philippines! 🇵🇭 I LOVE YOUR COLLECTION. I love your style! 🖤🖤🖤

[@rosalindmason9242]

You are looking extra relaxed and happy today!

[@louiseprice9519]

You are seriously my fave You tuber! So down to to earth, real, normal and I you don't sell out to every paid thing the comes your way. I truly believe and trust your recommendations, please don't ever change!

[@TheAnnaEdit]

Thanks Louise! X

[@evie691]

I cannot afford designer bags (maybe one day!) but my tip would be - look for smaller designers, producing items in smaller quantities. I have some amazing bags from Polish designers and people always ask me where I got them from! supporting smaller, independent brands is definitely a win-win x

[@ralphandleosmom9075]

I love my Puzzle bag. I got the light blue. It’s the softest most beautiful leather of any bag I own. I also recommend the Celine Belt Bag which has just one large roomy area and mine is in a stiffer leather so I can fill it up with zero impact on the bag’s shape.

[@Diana-ju8qt]

hi, can you please help me with an answer regarding the loewe puzzle bag? does it have an internal pocket for your phone inside? sorry for the random question, i'm just interested on buying the bag and i cannot find enough info online.

[@hamizahjumat]

i got a celine trio in burgundy thanks to you! best purchase! thanks for enabling me anna! no regrets for sure.

[@sarasr18]

I thought this bag was a bit weird but tbh ever since you got it I now want it lol. I did need a tote, and your recommendation of the YSL tote was why I bought it :) I'm gonna save up for the Loewe or the Mansur Gavriel Envelope bag next (although my number 1 dream bag is the Celine Box bag omg that's so nice).

[@kirstydoyle9534]

Love that you offered good dupes for each bag 😊👍

[@larnitassone6310]

The 'blush' pink version of the Puzzle bag is killlllling me! What a bag! I know you spoke about buying responsibly; but I think I may need to max out a credit card or two so I can have it haha!

[@clare11]

Love this video, perfectly timed as I just treated myself to a new bag. After obsessing over a few online and deciding I didn't have the money to buy one I ended up having to return a coat and re-purchase it only 2nd time round it was in the sale so I got to use that extra refund money to go and purchase a new bag...which also happeed to be in the sale! Double whammy bargain, wuhoo! Mine is Markberg and was definnitely swayed by Lily's soho disco bag!

[@k1tkat-kate]

That Chanel bag is so cute!

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Thank you for the video. Would you be able to film a version of the Guide to Brighton in a series of videos for KZbin? That is something which I think many would enjoy. I really like your bags. I feel that you were a little hard on yourself about the WOC. You worked for the money! You really earned it. You did not rob widows and orphans to pay for it, so enjoy the bag and there is no need for guilt! Have a lovely week!

[@Marie-oy1bd]

The Brighton City Guide - annaed.uk/ZdYY1H Hi Daniel, Maybe Anna added this for you? Regardless...here you go!

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Hi Marie. Thank you for the link! Much appreciated.

[@racheltupper6479]

I'm so impulsive. Definitely inspired me to stop buying loads of bags and save for a great one. Xxx

[@129grimm]

I love watching these videos because I'm not at all a bag person (I own three, not designer, and they were all gifts ), so I don't feel like it's risky to watch them. I can just enjoy the content without the impulse to buy!

[@Stoic_Cat_]

girl i love the whole haul

[@ainos02]

Love the bag! So chic, really nice and matches your style :D

[@cw8955]

i sworn id never get a puzzle bag when i first saw it on the streets! yet when i see it in her video it strannnngely grew on me!!! she makes the bag look and feeel awesome, not tacky and weird at all :D this one s gonna go on a wish list hehe

[@PrimroseBigwood]

Your stye is forever so chic and beautiful! x

[@lesliehaugen2151]

"*sigh* makes me sound like a massive " lolololol that alone makes me love you even more! I also love the Loewe puzzle bag. I've been debating on investing in one, and I think I'm gonna have to take the plunge. Love your videos!

[@evsodopex3]

Wow, that sweater really makes your eyes pop!

[@angelaspencer2934]

Great video. A bag for all occasions ❤ x

[@MsTwiggy28]

your hair in this video!!!! love it!!

[@kristinabraly]

Anna! As a fellow creator let me give you my trick to remember where the cards are when you talk to the camera - think of LARD (Left hand is the cARD) 🤣 since I came up with this mnemonic it’s helped me a ton!! Oh and MOAR BAG VIDZ PLZ 😇

[@TheAnnaEdit]

That is such a good idea!!!! THANK YOU! X

[@TheMeanBean]

For people watching this - if you want a nice bag to treat yourself with but don’t live in a world where designer bags are a consideration or you just would prefer non-leather but still want something really nice and minimal and high quality check out mat and nat!

[@emilyb7752]

Jill Harris I love Matt and Nat! I have an awesome black work bag from them and it’s incredible ☺️

[@lydiaa9594]

Do you have any suggestions for a leather handbag?

[@TheMeanBean]

Liebeskind or Fossil are both super nice and a mid-range price point great quality. :)

[@breezybird403]

+Lydia A J W Hulme has leather handbags made in St. Paul, MN

[@eleo_b]

I never use those attachable pouches for valuable things, because I feel like that's the first thing pick-pocketers will go for. It's especially easy with that leather strap, to pull things out and just cut the strap. So I use that for tampons or tissues and things like that. I put my more valuable things in a bigger bag-in-bag, that's more difficult to get out. It's about the size of the bag and with a zipper.

[@kenkatahira8875]

It is always so heartwarming to hear when people like you donate to charities.......❤️❤️❤️Since Valentine’s Day is right around the corner......perhaps treat yourself to a red 👜 handbag!!!😂😂😂Keep up the amazing work you do!!!Aloha from Hawaii!!!!

[@Truth1561]

My newest bag is dark navy- such a refreshing change from black!

[@pinkyleung3567]

so pretty on your Loewe Small Puzzle Bag in Midnight Navy. I bought it as well after saw your video. Btw I love your channel so so so much.

[@mariedavtyan371]

I laughed so much during the video 😂amazing video though,love your bags❤️

[@anamoreira2711]

Such an awesome video and your hair is glorious!!!! Love from Portugal

[@bostongirl3137]

Glad I found you! You’re so down to earth. Just followed you on Instagram too. Like your style an pics.

[@bijou6841]

I love Loewe puzzle and Celine trio ♡♡

[@audreyegner5750]

The Loewe is 🙌🏻 Officially saving up for it! Thanks for all the dupes too. I need to train myself to use a smaller bag....feel like everything I own is the size of the YSL shopper!

[@joyheins8863]

hair on fleek Anna!

[@TheAnnaEdit]

Thanks Joy! x

[@natdomo]

I have medium puzzle bag in black. Bought the medium cus i carry ipad pro all the time for work. But the more i look it on the mirror, it looks like laptop bag since im a small person. But puzzle bags are amazing tho love it ❤

[@EclecticAlu]

Loved this video!! 😍

[@chey8721]

OMG! THAT Loewe Puzzle purse in dark navy is too delicious! Now, I'm on the fence whether to get the caramel or the dark navy. Thank you for this review! Loooove your accent! 👌🏻

[@aesinam]

The caramel is gorgeous too

[@mariedlj780]

Update on your bullet journal please :) Such an interesting video! Thank you

[@balisandra94]

Never worry about having a Chanel bag in your collection, every single one holds its value, you’ll always sell it for a bigger price than you bought it, especially the classic styles like yours (although yes, you’ll be the coolest grandma if you pass it on lol)

[@Buttercookiesssss]

Love your collection! Very realistic minimalist chic elegant style ❤️ have you ever considered adding a coloured bag to it?

[@aprilobrien7322]

You are so NORMAL. I appreciate that. :)

[@TheAnnaEdit]

Thanks April! x

[@gsw4551]

Very informative!!! Double thumbs up .👍 👍. Got my puzzle small tan.

[@user-zu6yz4lc3b]

Decided to purchase Loewe puzzle bag after I saw your video😆

[@pornprapasupasiratanont1514]

Great review Anna i do love your style and your bags :) you made me thinking of getting a loewe puzzle now😂 however celine trio is one in my wishlist. If you can just buy one which one would you pick! Help me haha

[@katia.luna213]

LMAO! "Not the Chanel!" Love it

[@katarinasevcikova1266]

Eyebrows on fleek, hairstyle on point, chic outfit ....killer TRIO :) ....I love your style :)

You need a key pouch for your keys so they won’t scratch the leather. Love your new bag! From a fellow handbag enthusiast:)

You know how eskimos see different shades of white... that happens to you with dark colours (black, the bag, the wall paint you wanted...)

[@sarah_hedges_creates]

Great informative video! X

[@buda2049]

All black bags,,,Anna you need the red bag😉😉😉 Love love your hair colour also the curls...

[@Maykono1]

Thank you for this video! Despite hearing all of the cons for the Chloé Faye from you and other youtubers I still really want that bag as my first designer bag (the plum purple shade is gorgeous and I love the look of it so much!). Do you think a medium size reusable water bottle would fit in it because without making it too puffy? That's an everyday essential for me as I'm trying to be as zero waste as I can. Btw I woul love to see more youtubers say if reusable water bottles fit in the bags in the reviews. Love from France!

[@isabelowen9769]

Your hair looks amazing here!!

[@TheAnnaEdit]

Thanks Isabel! x

[@mimine12344]

Damn Anna, I don't own any designer bag (or even any dupe) and don't plan to buy one any time soon, but still watched the video all the way through because I love to listen to you talk about anything haha! 👜👜👜

[@TheAnnaEdit]

Thanks for watching! x
