This is the way

[@shelleystevens3731]

Hi Sophie! This is not a new trick, but my solution to this dilemma (how to stay on trend without sinking a fortune into the latest trendy bags) is to only buy classic bags in classic colors, and use accessories to make my overall look feel more on trend. For example, the trend for sparkly bags will no doubt go out of style and I don't want to be left with an expensive sparkly bag that is beautiful, but dated, so I will buy a fun bag charm that sparkles with Swarovski crystals and attach it to my bag. Voila! There's usually a trendy color way each year, so I might purchase a silk scarf instead of a new bag in the new color trend, and tie it on my classic bag. If bags with major hardware are trending, I will either buy a hardware charm to attach and give it some attitude, OR I'll make sure my jewelry hits the mark. If bags with pearls are trending, I'll wear a chain belt with pearls, or long pearl earrings. I do love all the bag trends (well, mostly), but I find occasionally an older bag style suits the occasion just perfectly and it's fun to take it off the shelf and wear it again. Have a wonderful Sunday evening, Sophie! ❤

I used to love the boy bag but fell out of love with it. I do think it looks dated now and could use an update. The boy wallet on chain looks better IMO so the bag could in a similar way have a smaller clasp so the proportions would look better. I love the chunky chain but they could change it up a bit or have some variations + do something about the corners.

[@ENRICHOE]

i have a book tote in the blue camouflage and its one of my best purchases. i carry it to work and it comfortably carries laptops, ipads, an extra jacket, chargers, notes, and everything else without sagging or deforming! love the fact that it can stand up on its own too. the bag is around 3 years old now but i still get loads of compliments on it! definitely a bag that i'll still use even when it's gone out of fashion for travels, work or just carrying large amounts of stuff anywhere.

[@Alex22.22]

I would add Gucci Marmont to the "out of style"-list. IMO it was never "in style", I just don't get the appeal sorry. I just find it cheap looking. For bags "on the way up" I hope that Bvlgari's bags will get more attention. So beautiful, classic looking and great quality.

[@654ujala]

In my opinion there is too much emphasis on big brand bags like Chanel etc. There are brands like Bvlgari and Ferragamo that make wonderful classic bags that are superior in the quality department. I think people are slowly beginning to realise that these brands have a lot to offer and have the heritage behind them. Elegance and class dont have to shout with logos. Only my opinion...💖

[@flohough1870]

Interesting! I think even with "classic" bag styles, they have their ebbs and flows and it's nice. I definitely would not recommend getting rid of those bags but put them away and save them for another time. They'll be back! It's just like with classic clothing styles, you can still wear them even if they aren't trendy.

I think there’s an issue with the fact that we call bags worth thousands and months worth of saving “out of style” and consider it to be less cool to wear as a result. If you’re a multimillionaire or billionaire, cool. But most people who enjoy and wear these bags work like crazy for it.

[@kimmiebrown2303]

Exactly

[@justynawisniewska1213]

Idk it's just my opinion but if it takes months of saving to get these bags it's really not worth it. Get a sturdy pretty non-designer high quality bag and leave the overpriced designer stuff for people who can spend that money like it's whatever, don't get duped into the luxury marketing of it all. And I say this as a person for whom it would take months to put money away for a designer item. You can go for an amazing vacation, put money away for your own house/apartment.

I don't think the Chanel classic flap is out of style, the issue with this is the price, way overpriced. The Dior saddle bag, yes I bought this years ago when it first came out.

Yes I agree. It's not the style that makes it "dated" People are just no longer prepared to pay the money Chanel is charging. I officially tapped out in early 2021 after I paid $9000 AUD for my classic flap. I still love Chanel bags but I can't justify the cost now

[@lalc2883]

I keep all my bags because I like them. I'm not really influenced by trends even if when some bags looks outdated, they are not desirable. For me it's important to make a difference between "OUTDATED" and "OUT OF STYLE". The first one is more related to the design and the latter to the popularity. I still wears my Chanel Mademoiselle bags from 2011. About Chanel bags, I think the 2.55, the Classic and the Boy will remain classics. But of course no bags stays that long without periods when it's less in style. Even the Birkin and the Kelly that are super-popular now were really seen as old-ladies bags when I was younger. We see 20 years old girls wanting them now but it wasn't the case 15/20 years ago. I think the success of Vintage Chanel will always maintain the desirability of current Chanel.

[@isabellarum515]

[@Alex22.22]

A classic bag like the Chanel classic flap will never go out of style no matter price increases IMO. Social media is all about trends, people who rarely have a style of their own and everybody is just following the herd. So uninteresting. You have to find your own style, what you like and what looks good on you. Not just buy for the moment. Especially as you grow older you should be more confident. I loved the boy bag when it first came out but over the years I've fallen out of love with it and wanted the classic flap instead. I don't like the double flap though and contrary to everybody on social media I prefer the jumbo and maxi size. Found a couple of single flap beauties on the preloved market in great condition that I just love. I do find the boy bag to look dated now; too bulky and boxy, that big clasp on the front. They could update it a bit IMO. Make the clasp smaller so it looks more proportional (like the boy wallet on chain), do something new to the chain and smooth the corners a bit perhaps.

[@etk3819]

I think it's a good perspective to keep in mind that if you're after a trend, you might be disappointed a year or two later, so it helps in decision making when you throw that money down. Whatever your taste is, going with what you suits your style personality is the most important.

[@ragnevi]

The Chanel classic flap bag is timeless, but the price is ridiculous high.

[@Buttercookiesssss]

I feel like out of style and popularity are not exactly the same. Chanel flaps aren't as popular now because of the price yes, but they are still relevant and looks chic when styling with outfits. Honestly for Hermes kelly they don't look in style to me they are just popular now. I would probably just buy birkin kelly for work only, they are more suitable as work bags imho. Great video as always! ❤️

I feel like a lot of these designer items lose their appeal through the "dupe" & "counterfeit" markets. You go to a high street store and notice luxury inspired "dupes" and think "ja I'll pass..." or "Meh...". I see lots of Chanel inspired "dupes" fairly often when I go shopping. Recently I purchased a Chanel handbag for US50.00. at an antique/thrift store. My first thought was "Is this real?" It has "Chanel" written all over it and has signs of wear. Honestly not worth the price. Luxury fashion is becoming unsustainable now. IMO.

I think you might had bad luck with some quality issues in the Chanel Boy bags you got. I absolutely adore them, I have a few in mini, medium, and large sizes, and never had an issue. As Im moving countries my things are in storage and I just have 2 handbags with me, so for the last 3 months I have been using a medium Boy bag pretty much every single day, with everything and more I can fit inside it, and the bottom didn't sag at all, its shape and structure is exactly the same as 3 months ago, no damage at all. But there is a detail, I always use them cross-body or shoulder with full length, I never double the chain to be shorter and under my arms, so I kind of never squeeze it that way. The Dior book tote is also very good, I carry tons on mine, laptop included, and it holds like new without any sign of damage.

[@AmsInTheMitten]

The prices of vintage Chanel are now competitive with Chanel's seasonal bag. But the quality is better (?) so perhaps it's worth it.

I think the mini kelly has peaked, even though it's still popular, it's definitely easier to get offered/get ahold of than it was a couple years ago.

[@JJ-od6nt]

I like the idea of this video but I don't necessarily agree with the styles you mentioned. I feel the bags 'out of style' are the Gucci Marmont, Balenciaga anything, Chloe bags of past seasons, Diorama range from Dior and other such styles. Most of what you mentioned are classics and will never be out of style. Yes the Dior saddle bag and Book tote may not have the hype that they had but that's for anything - the hype is always in the initial year/few years after launch and then there's a stability to the style or a decline. As for social media, I think that the most stylish people and true lovers of fashion have now realised that styles are being pushed on us through influencers that are being paid to carry certain bags more than others. So we need to have our own sense of what looks good on us, not just blindly follow corporate profit-earning tactics!! As for what's going up, yes vintage for sure but also the desire for styles and brands that are under the radar and not everyone has seen them. I love my Chanel bags for special occasions but I also love carrying Polene bags that don't have logos, are great quality and people always ask what I'm carrying.

I don’t think paying thousands on a bag is reasonable at anytime or for any bag but I have . I love both my classic flaps, would I pay the price they’re at now? Well it’s easy to say no when you have them 🤷🏼‍♀️ Honestly I think still would because when I payed whatever I did at the time it still felt a lot of money ❤

the classic flap is my dream bag - but I cant justify the price for the quality now so I just don't think I could bring myself to buy it :(

The tweed chanel bags are soooo cuteeeee

The Prada Re-Nylon 2000 mini bag is going out of style as well 😢

I think the bags you mentioned, such as the Dior Book Bag or the Chanel Classic Flap looks out of style and maybe even tacky, not just because of the ridiculous price, but because they were so popular in the last decade, they are too many replicas and fakes on the streets. These bags stopped elevating someone's look 'cos of that association. Carrying a Chanel CF no longer mean someone had taste, but that the person is "basic". It's really sad what happened to Chanel as a brand.

I love my classic Chanel flap ❤

I’d like to hear your thoughts on the brand new Mugler spiral bags, I know they’re not very popular in the handbag world yet, but i think they’re trying to become a big competitor. I especially love the metallic one!

[@SophieShohetOfficial]

Hey Mitchell, I hope you’re having a great new year! I’ve not heard of these bags but I appreciate you sharing them with me, thank you. I’ll check them out on Google now!xx

The Prada crystal bags are timeless in my opinion. We all need a sparkly bag and I feel that in twenty years I would still rock them at special occasions

But for the issues the boy bag has, it’s still my best Chanel bag 😍. I went for the Coco handle instead in 2018 but I am still a softie for the Boy Bag 😊. I love the crystal Prada bags, I feel they are the ultimate club/party bags.
