Quality indicator on a bag | Edge coating | Anesu Sagonda

[@kooltom4]

You are such a wealth of detailed knowledge Anesu. I never buy luxury, and doubt I ever will, but I've learned so much from you about how to check for indicators of quality and durability, and what constitutes value for money relative to price and my own capacity to pay.

[@SoAnesu]

Thank you Sheila. I’m glad you are learning. As consumers let’s be a little more discerning and demanding.

[@ryeofoatmeal]

the edge coating on Musubi bag is exquisite!!! 😮

[@circuslife888]

As someone who repairs his own leather bags, I completely agree. Some brands have highly guarded edge coating formulas. Thanks for discussing this!

[@SoAnesu]

You are welcome and thank you for watching.

[@Porcelynnn]

Thank you for telling us about the LouLou bag!!! Appreciate the warning.

[@SoAnesu]

You are welcome.

I absolutely love your channel, FINALLY someone who breaks down the quality of these ultra luxury handbags! One brand that's contemporary who i believe does a fabulous job is coach. Those bags last forever! I have one that's 17 years old and it still looks brand new. Curious to what you think about Bvlgari serpenti bags coating? I have one and they are hand painted, its absolutely perfect atleast on my bag, it's insane how striaght and co consistent. Those bags are very structured though. My ysl sunset bag in croc embossed leather is extremely durable but i did notice on one of the corners, its not perfectly applied. It hasn't worn but i baby my bags. Considering its hard croc embossed leather, i don't have to worry as much bc it's extremely structured.

[@SoAnesu]

Thank you. Coach can do no wrong in my eyes. A solid brand. I’m going to Bvlgari Serpenti soon. Saint Laurent edge coating hasn’t always worn well and can fall apart with wear and tear. If a structured bag you have you ahould be fine. Enjoy your bags in good health.

[@staciarenee2982]

@@SoAnesu i would ABSOLUTELY LOVE if you could do a video on Bvlgari serpenti bags. I just cannot believe how they arn't more popular but at the same time I'm glad they arn't so the bags are more exclusive.

[@SoAnesu]

Ha! Yes let’s keep them a little low key for the members.

[@scsophiecowan8634]

Another educational video. Thank you. I have learned so much from you and purchased my first Delvaux Brilliant from watching and learning the quality and craftsmanship of the brand.

[@SoAnesu]

Yay thank you. Hope you enjoy your bag!

[@acollectedtable131]

Great information to consider when purchasing a handbag. I usually look for the fine details especially if it’s a higher -end product. Keep these great videos coming!

[@SoAnesu]

Exactly! Thank you Kelly.

[@ml5684]

Hi Anesu, thank you for your awesome content. The brand that I know of that uses turned edges exclusively is Launer, LONDOn

[@SoAnesu]

Thank you for watching!

[@nathalienurse3336]

Such an interesting and of course informative video. I shall really have to look out for these things now. Merci!…….🤗🇨🇦

[@cocodoves]

I adore your videos. Thank you for all the information especially on the quality of bags. It was so insightful. Can you please create a video on bags made with full grain leather or the best leathers that would last a lifetime. I know there might be some overlap with other videos already posted but I would love to see even more videos on this topic of quality, particularly since so many “designer” handbags have dropped in quality despite the crazy price tags.

[@SoAnesu]

Thank you. As you mentioned there is overlap with current videos notably kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqrLqH5tlMiDi5o kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXqVnX6LqdybgMU kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZorLqnmgfc6VoKM kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXqxoaeljJt_fsk kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5u6o2R4j9xjp9U All the brands I’ll talk about going forward will last a lifetime some may be full grain and I’ll specify where possible.

Love your content ❤ Suggestions for beautiful, high quality wallets please !🙏🏻🫶

Im new and I'm hooked. Please talk on holiday destinations, holiday planning and flying private.

[@SoAnesu]

Great - welcome! There is a new travel series coming up soon. What do you mean by holiday planning and flying private? Please elaborate.

[@eh9702]

Your videos are so interesting. I just ordered my first Valextra after learning about the brand from your channel!

[@SoAnesu]

Thank you. Yay - enjoy your bag!

[@R18-c7z]

Love Valextra...

[@julek2589]

Lovely video as always :)

[@SoAnesu]

Thank you 😊

[@CoachCraze]

Wooow, I learned so much in this video (as well as your others). Just went to check my Saint Laurent bags and two out of four of them have leather breaks in multiple places.😬 So does my Longchamp Madeleine. I've SEEN this before, but never knew that it is a sign of not so great quality. Thank you for these very informative videos!

[@SoAnesu]

You are welcome and thank you for watching.

[@jacquelinenatividade7291]

Funny how LV and YSL bags have never spoken to me, with the exception of the Manhattan line (YSL). Ever checked this particular one, Anesu? I thank you so much for all of your videos. You truly produce content! Also, anxious for your opinion/knowledge on sunnies. Bless you!

[@SoAnesu]

I didn’t realise the Hermès inspired Birkin is called Manhattan. I was looking at it last month for that very reason - interesting bag. Sunnies are being worked on. Soon, soon!

[@jacquelinenatividade7291]

@@SoAnesu Yes. Interesting and under the radar. I rarely see it in the streets. Take care. ❤️

[@tamarahildegard1688]

you are so spot on LV vs Valextra. You probably are aware of the Recall of the LV Capucines with melting edge coating produced between 2103-2014. How embarrassing for LV.

[@SoAnesu]

That was a tricky time for LV but the edge coating now is considerably better and it's a solid bag.

[@mvu605]

Can you speak to the Polene bags? I’m interested in your thoughts regarding this brand

[@SoAnesu]

Yes I will do soon.

[@katerinafrilingou2470]

Dear Anesu thankyou once more for your impeccable video, please inform me between Tod,s and Longchamp bags which you recommend

[@SoAnesu]

You are welcome. They are two different levels of luxury i say go with Tod’s!

[@mariavrenozai9629]

Hi Anesu, Thank you for your videos. I want to buy a small bag for Christmas. I have a dilemma between the Chanel wallet on chain caviar leather and celine triomphe teen. What do you think please? It will be my third and last luxury bag and I want to consider carefully my choice. Your advice will be very useful. Thanks in advance

[@SoAnesu]

You are welcome Maria, thank you for watching my content. I think the Celine Triomphe teen.

[@aida-aixacm2150]

Please, talk about some alternative British brands such as Tusting, Demellier and Aspinal of London, which seem to have really good quality. I really want to know your opinion.

[@SoAnesu]

Good call I have 2/3 video ideas in mind.

[@cyclamen831]

Great video! I would like you to educate me and the rest of the audience on leathers that are processed such as Valextra millepunti or Prada saffiano. When I see in person these products I often have the feeling of "plastic effect". I do not know if it is due to my lack of understanding of the leather used, the details to look for, or if indeed they used lower quality leather. Would you be so kind to explain this? Thank you

[@SoAnesu]

Thank you! That’s such a minefield. Millepunte is processed, as far as I concerned, but Valextra keep insisting it isn’t. Prada and LV processed leathers definitely feel and look like plastic, there is no way a brand would process good quality leather it doesn’t add up. I’ll do some more digging and create content once I have all the facts.

[@chunhuawu2978]

Hi Anesu! I would love to know your opinion of Helen Kaminski visors and hats. I was thinking about buying one of their raffia bags for summer😊

[@SoAnesu]

Hi Chunhua! Unfortunately I don’t know the brand but their stuff looks lovely.

[@QueenBey90]

I have the Saint Laurent Shopper tote and the edges of the straps have started to split after over a year of moderate use. Its actually embarrassing :(

[@SoAnesu]

Ouch 😓

[@TeeL.5]

The brand that people complain the most about is actually the one that uses turned edge on all their bags and slgs.. it’s Chanel. It makes a lot of sense for Chanel since their brand dna is from a couturier, where edges of garments are finished.

[@SoAnesu]

I’m not too sure if Chanel’s turned edges are ever the issue i think it may be more to do with the construction. I like turned edges…

[@TeeL.5]

Definitely. Turned edges take more work to make and protect the item from potentially exposed raw edges. I don’t think Chanel’s quality is as bad as people make it out to be especially when some people who say that have not used Chanel pieces for long or have not owned them before

[@SoAnesu]

And just like that you are going to get cancelled by Chanel loyalists for that comment!🤦🏾‍♀️

[@tajats9537]

Dear Anesu, very useful to know, thank you! I recently came across this video on You Tube on the Sac du Jour: kzbin.info/www/bejne/opbQZIGwbdmlbs0si=zBaQpaw2SefcWqEs. I am really curious whether this quality issue (at ca. 9:40 in the video) is normal for a quality bag in daily use - or is it something that should not happen? Could this also happen with super premium bags which you mention as examples of exceptional quality, when used in this way? I would greatly appreciate to hear about your view/experience

[@SoAnesu]

I’m currently not near a Saint Laurent. I will be in 2 weeks time and I’ll let you know.

[@tajats9537]

Dear Anesu, thank you very much for your recent video in which you answer my question. Quality is much more important to me than the brand, so your advice is really a great compass for navigating the market😊

[@excelsaserabian2865]

Ferragamos are poor quality ourses

[@SoAnesu]

What a shame as that hasn’t been my experience or what I’ve heard about them.
