I've been following Dior bags my whole life, especially since the classic Saddle. This behind-the-scenes story is a testament to their focus on craftsmanship *jklux*

[@CalebSnell]

Fantastic review, Sofia! I have a few Atelier Auguste, and I agree, they’re fabulous bags! Their new Capucine bag is living in my head rent free at the moment. I hadn’t heard of Soeur yet, so that was fun to learn more about them. And I’m glad you popped into Leo et Violette, their bags are stunning, and it was good to hear your take on the brand!

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

They were just about to launch the Capucine bag when I visited them and we got to play with them! So pretty it was hard to choose which bag to get

[@tuatinitapui3851]

Atelier Auguste is definitely my favourite. I bought two bags on a recent trip to Paris. I loved that RSVP is in the same neighbourhood so also purchase an SLG there as well. The parachute bag smelt amazing and is on my wish list. So much fun supporting these artisan brands with fantastic craftsmanship.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

It was a pleasure to visit the stores and be able to inspect everything in person :)

[@milainnewyork]

I love Ateliers Auguste and RSVP bags, they’re so beautiful and well made! I really want to try Fleuron ♥️ thank you so much for sharing these, great video!!

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

They’re amazing! So glad you like the video :)

[@AntonioOliveira-ed5yt]

Even tho it is very mainstream, Coach is my go to! Their quality truly is mind-blowing for me, much better than some Prada and Diesel bags I own

[@Kate.g.]

So true ! I have a Coach bag, my friend see my bag and compare with her Prada bag … she is shook by the quality of mine vs her 😅 When she see the price I pay for it, she go to the website to do an order!

[@ST-fd6bi]

Love Coach bags.

[@EloisaMontesdeOcaTV]

I second this! I also love Tory Burch. I wanted somethibg on the vibe of the classic flap by Chanel, and I found this one in the same style by TB, and the quality is top notch, the leather is beautiful! It feels so bougie ✨️

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

I love Coach too! My Rogue bag is better than many of my luxury bags. In this video I wanted to suggest some brands that weren't as obvious to provide some helpful alternatives.

[@maritzac95]

I love my Coach bags. I love the soft leather not the hard leather

[@janinekelly9520]

Funny you posted this video today. I ordered 3 polene bags last night because the prices are going up on January 6th. Now I want some of the bags you shared in this video as well! Thanks for posting this video. I was looking for more brands similar to polene and strathberry. I love strathberry but basically have all their bags already.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

My mom LOVES Strathberry! I do too but haven't owned one of their bags yet. When I was in Paris we couldn't even get into either of the Polene stores because the lines were literally like 3 hours wait time. I thought all these bags were just as nice :)

[@asiyahkhan444]

This was an awesome video. Thankyou for introducing us to these brands. They all look good. Would have to try at least getting one of them.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

So glad! thanks for the feedback

[@StavroulaChristakos-yk9ni]

Thank you sharing and modeling the beautiful style mix of these Parisian bags. Some remind me of Teddy Blake New York (also mid range luxury), especially the suede linings.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

The Teddy Blake bags are nice!

[@noudjoumbenabid3378]

Sophia, you prononces Sœur perfectly!!! Well done!

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

SUCCESS! 😂 (I practiced lol)

[@petrapausic4190]

Thank you, Sofia, for discovering some new brands for me. ❤ :) I like Fleuron handbags; the Hortensia model is really nice. :) I have an older version (now the stitching is different) of the Loewe Puzzle (mini) bag, and it is quite different from the RSVP handbag...

[@chelseatodd2194]

Love this video. Love the review of these lesser known brands. I’ve been looking into getting a luxury bag but can’t pull the trigger. These might just be my happy medium!

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Yay! Yeah the prices right now are crazy and they don't have enough lower priced lines within the luxury brands

[@marthastahl-po8yv]

Great video. Really fun to see your discoveries and hear your summations. More like this please.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Will do! :)

[@gloriamartinez2535]

Sofia thank you so much for this video. I don't have the money for the bag of my dreams) I do own a Loewe from many years ago.But I am looking for a a quiet luxury bag. I am in love with a Tedy Blake ans a RSVP one.. Now I am more confused!!! LOL. XO.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Both good choices and good quality!

[@MK-fi2bp]

I have the Soeur bag in the sage green & I LOVE it. I get SO many compliments on it every time I wear it cause the color is chef’s kiss!

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Ooo yay! Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@taigahilliard619]

That royal blue swan bag is nice.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

I love that color!

[@jordannamorris81]

Great video! I purchased the mini Swann and can’t wait for its arrival. Wondering if you can do a video or short on how to style your bags with a scarf. Kinda like a how to. Loved the look of the mini Swann with the scarf on the top handle.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Thanks for the suggestion. Would love to do some Shorts about that

[@mrsm2949]

To me Coach is the way to go today. The brand is rising and building its reputation now, therefore they are focused on quality. But not all Coach is the same, the highest quality are bags like Bandit or Rogue top handle, made of full grain leather outside with full leather lining inside, and brass hardware impossible to break.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Yes that’s a really good point. I have noticed the same. They have a few higher priced bags and those are the ones with super good quality. I have the rogue 🙂

[@ldel6069]

Perfect timing Sofia… I’m in Paris ❤

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

LOL PERFECT! ;)

[@Juliana.Philippa]

Hi! What is the hand recorder you were using in the boutiques? I’m a starting KZbinr and looking for a good transportable recorder and yours looked really great. Thanks!!!

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Osmo pocket 3

[@arielts06]

Ooh I would love the Leo et Violette Marcia in the cocoa color. Great find!

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

The black one shall be mine one day! :)

[@tarski7420]

Ohhhh the Leo & Violette bucket bag in camel suede looks gorg 😍 Thanks for sharing!

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

I love it. That was one of the most luxe ones we saw!

[@ireneshelley]

Great video Sofia! I’m taking notes 😊. I love Strathberry (have one bag, but eyeing more) and Furla (have a few and they all so different, I adore this brand!), but all brands you showed are new to me. Will definitely check them out! Leo et Violette especially seams like straight my alley.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Those are some good brands! The Strathberry bags are nicely made

[@digitalgrrl79]

Great video! I just ordered a pre-loved RSVP Paris Munchkin (the colors they have available on the site right now don't speak to me but I found a vibrant blue used one. I can't wait to check it out in person for the first time!

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

The munchkin is cuuuute

[@sanjapetrevska4994]

Omg that bumbag from atelier Auguste is beautiful

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

It's so cute! My mom got my sis the forest green one for Christmas and she was so excited

[@OksanaKrotov]

Coming in clutch w the best content as per usual, Sofia ❤😊

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Thank you! 🥰

[@leazettegreen9282]

These are beautiful bags. I loved them all 😂😂. Thank you for the introduction and recommendations for these bags

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

You're welcome Leazette!

[@midlifemom5829]

Thank u for this video! The oversaturation of logo luxe makes it so cliche. Going to Paris in April so im taking notes!

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Yay!!!

[@emilyandco]

I liked the Marcia from Leo et Violette, because of that nice soft looking leather (and I’m into more of the flap style). If you haven’t already heard of them - check out Fauvette 😍. I just ordered a bag from them and love their vibe - very feminine, gilded 24ct gold hardware, and they are designed and made in Paris.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Thanks for the rec! I am going to look that up

[@Katelyn-uk4gp]

I think the Fleuron medium swan was my favorite! ❤😊

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Isn't it so cute?

[@Katelyn-uk4gp]

@ Oh yes!! It’s adorable 😊

[@AnkV]

I suggest you also check out romanian brand musette. The quality of the leather and hardware is great and they styles versatile

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

I am taking notes!

[@valeriebloominglifestyle]

How’s your Gabrielle bag wearing?❤

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

You can see for yourself in this video! I looks perfect

[@flowerchild2657]

Next time you go to Paris, try checking Lancel bags brand in the Opera district. It's luxury, beautiful craftsmanship but not overpriced at all for a house that was established in 1876! They're in the same range of what you showed here. Well, maybe a tad more expensive depending on the line. But nothing near the outrageous prices of designer bags that have become in my eye loud luxury bc the quality isn't in accordance with their ridiculous prices. Their special limited edition Angèle bags are beautiful 😍 Such beautiful details up to the linings and very artistic designs. They also make gorgeous and very elegant leather gloves 😍 I'll never be able to afford them but if I could, I for sure would much prefer to spend much less money for much better quality 😉

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Thanks for the rec! I had them on my list but we didn't have time to go :) Next time for sure

[@RevampAndRadiate]

Well since im doung a makeup no buy in 2025 looks like i may actually start getting into purses! 😂 Thanks for this! These are pricepoints i can definitely get into. 😅

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Lol perfect! ;)

[@Dinozzzaur]

Do ypu wear mid range backpacks? I find there's a gap in that catagory. I don't even do crossbodies because when I'm on the go I just want to be completely fuss-free.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

What kind of backpack? I wear my leather Tumi one all the time when I travel and coach makes a really cute "purse" size backpack that is an awesome alternative to the Chanel ones :)

[@sylrodrigues36]

❤❤❤

[@dmsunny216]

From one handbag lover to another thank you the video. Some many choices to choose from. I recently purchased a beautiful well crafted leather purse from Songmont. Check them out.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

I just ordered the Luna bag! :)

[@fortinbralothar82]

What do you have on your eyes?

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Honestly I don't remember! Sorry :( a very simple look

[@BabetteBreiner]

Haha! Your videos always teach me something and make me smile. I wish you and your family lots of fun and happiness! *jklux*

[@sussannekeith5676]

Coach is uber classy and lasts a lot longer than the LV, Gucci, etc.. they wear very quickly and they are sooo boring to look at.

[@barbowens8626]

My favorite?? You're kidding, right? 😂 ✌️

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

hahahaha hard to choose :)

[@sussannekeith5676]

Can’t stand the luxury brands at all … they are definitely not worth the money at all.😮

[@ciclallisilva4441]

Seriously nah looks to basic for me .plus something my grandmother would wear.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Thanks for the feedback. A lot of people are looking for classic styles. What brands do you prefer?

[@sussannekeith5676]

Basic and very classy not covered with Logos everywhere that scream look at me … I waste money.
