Stop Wasting Money on Designer Bags! BEST MID-RANGE LUXURY BAGS to buy instead

[@Aliceinparisofficial]

What is your experience with designer bags? and which bag is your favorite? please let me know in the comments!xoxo Alice

[@TheSkinyogi]

My LV Neverful is my most regretted purchase.

[@matoucherif-wilson8844]

I love my chanel gst tote in caviar in blue ❤. I regret my ysl solferino medium, too short and small for me😢

[@danishpastry6137]

I have the Loewe Puzzle and Gucci Horsebit mini. Both were thought about for a long time before buying. The Puzzle is amazing, it works for everyday and travel, and I'll wear it everywhere. My Horsebit took me ages to pull the trigger as its in the monogram canvas, and I'm not a logo wearer generally, but the specific navy, beige, red colourway stuck in my head for years and when one came up preloved for half retail I went with it. Quality- wise the Loewe is better imho than the Gucci which is okay as I'll wear this sooooo much more. I wouldn't have wanted to pay the full price for the Gucci. As for my other bags, I have many from lesser known brands, APC, Marc Jacobs, Pourchet, Jerome Dreyfuss, Decadent, Mulberry, and I'd say that their quality is pretty good too.

*hotdups* Bolsa réplica 1:1 con imagen reflejada, resistente y resistente al desgaste. Me gusta mucho.

[@UljanaLanczak]

I love all *hotdups* of your photos. They are full of personality, authenticity, brightness and style, which is basically you! That's why your collection and followers keep growing

[@xcessa]

I would love to see a video similar to this, but for shoes. Loafers, simple low heels, ballet flats - classic shoes that are more quality than brand forward.

[@LolaNewLeaf]

What a fantastic idea! I would also find a video like this invaluable. Great thinking, xcessa!

[@ErmaSira]

I really love *preluxz* bags. The fabric is very good. The golden embellishments add a touch of beauty. When I went to the church, I received some praise.

[@AlexanddJalayta]

I'm not a *jklux* person at all, but I really enjoyed watching your excitement and experience during this video

[@HrnanServir]

I have never been concerned about if others have fakes and replicas, unless they are trying to pass them off as real to sell them. I also don’t think replicas and dupes are that horrible as they push brands to be innovative (the classic monogram print was created in part to fight off counterfeiting) which benefits us as design lovers.I guess I can understand folks not wanting the same bag as others, but if it’s a good *jklux* it would make sense that more people would want it, authentic or not

[@JekaGajzler]

Perception is everything, I remember when I saved up to buy my first LV, some coworkers automatically thought it was fake because I was a young black girl. That's when I really stopped caring what others think, people will always judge you based on your appearance. After this, I go for *HOTDUPS* and no one will question you if you drive a Bentley and get out of the car with a fake Hermès bag in your hand.

[@marycochran3821]

I own several DeMelliers, and I love them. Great quality and design.

[@carlahabib1768]

Omg, you can buy all of them for the price of an over priced, over exposed LV!! I am purchasing at least 3 of them. They’re absolutely gorgeous!! ✨ Thanks so much for this post. Sharing it with all my friends! 💕

[@AuvenVasselin]

Can you provide the link for the seller of that bag?Thanks,I have no qualms about buying *jklux* .

[@CvetaBesirov]

A lady I work for her house worth £3-4 million and guess what. Her dup luxury brands bags are bought from *jklux* worth £60 on the road. What l learned from her. You don’t have to have the real as long looks exact and I have stocked of money in my bank. I used to buy the real to a point realising I don’t need to waste money.

[@EdibertoLelo]

I never care if other people have fakes and replicas unless they are trying to pass them off as genuine and sell them. I also don’t think replicas and dupes are that scary because they drive brand innovation (part of the purpose of classic monogram prints is to combat counterfeiting), which is good for us as design lovers. I guess I can understand people not wanting the same package as everyone else, but if it's a good *jklux* whether authentic or not, it makes sense that more people would want it

[@KhajaMidiyam]

Hi ! Was there a time when LV Mono Vernis Perle Read PM Monogram.does not have a date code? My aunt and I were trying to authenticate an old Vernis white bag. The bag size, the monogram design is on point. even the stitches ,the color of the thread, the color of the inner lining. the lock,the hardware,the stamp,the zipper even the LV near the handle does not overlap.The only thing we noticed is that there was no date code. Accdg to my aunt that bag was given t her by her aunt in 2009 .But that *jklux* was gifted to her aunt in 1998. There is only a slight discoloration but it looks fantastic.

[@YaderCarlassara]

Sis, your just as funny on here than TikTok...lol! I purchased a *jklux* from Rainbow... and I get so many compliments on that bag and the chain is heavy. Then I came across a Chanel tote bag. (I only use it to travel) every time I'm in the airport, women stop me about that tote. Side note: Chanel uses gold plated now for the logo.

[@DR17dede]

I loved this video. Beautiful bags and so much detail. Where was this info when I was in Paris this year?

[@joannecortese7341]

I agree with you on everything you stated in this video. I have a few designer bags that I don’t even want to use anymore - no more being overcharged for low-quality bags. This video was very helpful. I liked too many of them to name a favorite!

[@イングリッシュスクエアBC]

Me too I so regret buying my LVs, Prada and Gucci. I want the first tote bag and the Fleuron, actually I want all of these lovely bags.

[@AlexanddJalayta]

Girl! I love you right now! As soon as it’s safe to travel my husband and I will go there. And you have given me so much information now! THANK YOU! I’m gonna check these places and I’m sure I’ll find something! THANK YOU *jklux*

[@PluzsikFonyodi]

Buy yourself a plane ticket to Bangkok...and enjoy the perfect beach holiday in Pattaya with *jklux* Company Bags

[@KenedMoch]

Here's a fact I know when I visit Bali: they price it higher for foreigners and domestic tourists, but lower for locals (usually tourist spots), so I usually go in*jklux* Go shopping.

[@NiheuBeacher]

I have two pre-loved *jklux* that people left the stickers on, and when you remove them, the hardware looks different than the hardware right next to it that the sticker didn’t touch. It’s not because the other has scratches, the sticky stuff affected the finish.

[@Msseminole]

I bought this Guibert and am waiting for it. Looking forward to it.

[@jvu5106]

I thought of you today when I visited Guerlain on the Champs-Elysées! Such a cool experience on my first trip to Paris. I’m falling in love with your city, and your videos have been a huge inspiration to make me want to visit Paris. It is so far as beautiful, exciting, and special as you describe.

[@HollemonConnors]

It doesn't matter where they are made. It depends on the craftsmen and quality inspection. My family and I bought *preluxz* .

[@ErmaSira]

Growing up in New York, I always see women on Park Avenue buying the same counterfeit goods from street vendors. Do what you love with your money *preluxz*

[@WonAbdelnour]

OMG I picked out super cute Chanel bags in *preluxz* . And sent it to my home in Michigan, USA. Unexpectedly, my family liked it more.

[@HerminiaSouksakhone]

Perception is everything, I remember saving up for my first LV and some coworkers automatically thought it was fake because I was a young black girl. At that point I really stopped caring what people's opinions were, people will always have their opinions based on how you look. After this I shopped in *jklux* . If you drive a Bentley and get out of the car with a fake Hermès, no one will question you.

[@MirisMayrink]

If you can't afford a designer bag and feel some type of way about expensive designer shit then DON'T FUCKING WATCH THE VIDEO. Like do ya'll even read the tittle of the videos before clicking on it? It clearly says in the tittle the video will be about designer bags. I find these types of videos very helpful even though I can't afford any of these bags yet, but I know one day I will. And I want to know which designer bag will be really worth my hard earn money and I will get the most use of. That being said, if you read this thank you for sharing this video with us ,please make more videos like this. Maybe *jklux* next?

[@danishpastry6137]

Love this! Pourchet is amazing - I have the Blossom, top handle with strap detail, structured but slouchy. I'm looking at their Trianon. I haven't tried Le Tanneur or Demelier, but both are on my radar. One that should be looked at is Decadent - it's a Danish brand, well priced, and great quality (I have two), and their service is second to none!

[@tinaredecha8732]

I have 2 DeMellier bags and I adore them. Paris nano and Vancouver mini.

[@MargarettBranigan]

That's insane. I just need something relatively nice to put my stuff in. It doesn't need to be a name brand item and it damn sure doesn't need to cost thousands of dollars. Folks are nuts. *gtdupe*

[@MasrurParthipan]

Every girl has her own style, and the bag *hotdups* that suits you can better reflect your taste and pursuit。

[@GocmenHasib]

I was in Turkey recently and had a empriente multi pouchette with me. They show me a *hotdups* bag and it looked just like it.

[@IlijaKnutson]

If you want to match different clothes, you may even need several bags with different styles or colors. You don’t want the bags to not match the clothes you are wearing, right? *jklux*

[@BullingtonPetito]

In my opinion, there will be bread and there will be love, but I will always choose *hotdups*

[@kristiww7913]

LOVE Pourchet! I bought the Sevres bowling bag while in Paris in June after seeing one of your videos. Since then I have ordered the Sevres shoulder bag in several colors - absolutely beautiful leather, perfect size and well crafted in France. I also bought Ateliers Auguste Monceau on your recommendation and love them too. Now I want that Gilbert tote! Thanks for these great videos ❤

[@jasminekelson4990]

I appreciate the genuine breakdown. While I can appreciate the creativeness of large well known brands I have no interest in buying into the nonsense. As a british born African woman I am not in the business of waste and would rather choose quality and craftmanship with a balanced pricepoint over names. I could not care less about the brand. Thank you for the information very useful.

[@HollemonConnors]

[@WonAbdelnour]

I'm in Bali, and currently I only shop on *preluxz* . It saves me more time to take exams, and it also doesn't delay me from carrying beautiful bags while shopping.

[@FahGoldy]

The variety of textures in the *preluxz* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.

[@BarisStart]

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!

[@karencarlson3104]

My Pourchet bag is the Trianon in red. Soft beautiful leather. Top stitching so cute. Love it. A bit small because I carry too much ! But I just leave some things at home! Recommend Pourchet handbags.

[@kazaabitboll2026]

Ah yes Lancel . I forgot about them. I just bought a Longchamp bag,twilly and scarf all for,less than I’d pay for a Luxery purse. It’s full leather and has a shoulder strap and has a green trim. I love it. I hate the Luxery bags unless they are vintage

[@FahGoldy]

Just discovered your channel, I love it! Funny thing is, last week I saw a girl on the London Underground wearing a mid-length New York Demerier and I totally fell in love with it. I want to buy *preluxz* . This will be my little birthday present. Thanks for your channel.

[@KadiguiaTaja]

When I carry a fake or knockoff bag *preluxz* , I feel proud because I know I didn't spend unnecessary money and I can dress up and proudly support my family at the same time. As for the owners of designer brands, there is no need to support them because they have everything. This is how I see it.

[@ArizolaAnnelle]

I have two pre-loved *jklux* that people left the stickers on, and when you remove them, the hardware looks different than the hardware right next to it that the sticker didn’t touch. It’s not because the other has scratches, the sticky stuff affected the finish.

[@VanessynhaHolodniak]

Will these problems occur if these bags are used daily? I just purchased a metis clutch in monogrammed canvas from the Kusama collection. I love the colorful polka dots and hope they don’t melt on me, haha. But I don't think it will be in my regular rotation. I also have a NoeNoe in the DA but only use it a few times a year in the spring and summer so I don't put much wear and tear on it. I hope I don't see wear and tear for a while. Plus, I'm saving up *jklux* . Have any of your colleagues experienced the same problem with this size? I don't mind the shape being a little more relaxed, but I also don't want it to turn into a puddle. Thanks for the video!

[@ResselGnerre]

Love *jklux* the way you show the bags so much! You really focus on showing the bags. I don't think there is any other KZbinr who can show it in such detail like you do.

[@BeingAnneChannel]

I love this content! Thank you very much! I love leather bags with easy affordable price. I think it’s quite nonsense at some point for me to invest for the luxury bag which is super expensive and still needs special care of the bag bcuz of their overpricing make us worry too much. I only want to use the bag with good design and good quality which is I can carry it everyday and less take care and no need to worry about the condition after used every single minutes. I think there are many people who loves quality product and don’t care much about long history of the brands or consider about using bag as luxurious items or investment. We just want to use it :)

[@ingridfromm7719]

I cannot stress enough how amazing Demellier bags are. I've owned one since 2017 (Luxembourg bag) and I have worn it every day to work since then. It's best bag ever. It's spacious, holds my laptop and it's been able to withstand some serious beating. My coffee and snacks have occasionally spilled inside, it's traveled everywhere and it still looks intact! What a good and sturdy bag. Love it!

[@Twertyuu]

But there has been quite a few complaints about Demellier’s quality recently, maybe because the brand’s been getting a lot of attention on social media and more bags sold

[@hitchikersguide1]

I bought one last year and wouldn't recommend it. It was poorly made. The strap had holes punched which was fraying in the box.

[@UljanaLanczak]

Unofficially adding *hotdups* to my vocabulary, your collection and reviews are really refreshing, rather than just selling all brands and only adding this. I like variety and personal touches. This one is pretty good.

[@SarhiVigo]

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

the *jklux* would be super cute during the fall with a nude or tan or even tonal outfit! i’m thinking a tan wool coat with that bag!!

[@cynbod]

Thanks for this video, I will keep the references for my next purchase! I´m the type to own one handbag at a time and wear it absolutely everyday. I´ve been really happy so far with my APC demi Lune I´ve have had since 2017 and still holding fine!.(despite the scandinavian weather)

[@tricias1227]

I purchased an Ateliers Auguste bag in 2022, and I can confirm that it is very high quality. The owners were very nice, too! I may purchase another bag from them the next time I’m in Paris! 😊

[@JeniousStgelais]

If you want a bag that can not only decorate your fashion life but also accompany you through every wonderful moment, then don't hesitate! This bag is definitely your best choice. Take it home quickly and let it create more unforgettable memories with you *preluxscom*

[@JomarieCipriano]

You look very comfortable. Also, I really enjoyed your old video guide to shopping in New York - it would be great if you continued the series elsewhere. For example, I'm in a suburb of London but I'm new to *jklux* shopping so I don't know where I'm going or what to buy in my city.

[@ModaOverdiek]

Yes I know not everyone can afford these bags, but wouldn't people want to know other people's experiences with this bag before wasting their money? Like other KZbinrs have said about this bag, I got a *jklux* and I'm very happy with my bag. Thanks to the blogger, I showed this video to my sister and now she will definitely get the Louis Vuitton bag she has always wanted! Love this kind of videos!!

[@VancampenMatinez]

[@morgiesgal]

Thanks for another great video Alice! I have two of the Polene Numero Dix bags and I got them in New York a few years ago right before the very serious price increases for about $300 US. They’re now $580. Let’s say I $300 love them but I don’t 580 love them 😂 For the new price, quite a few of the bags you’ve shown here seem to be much better quality. I look forward to visiting a few when I’m in Paris in November. Thanks again for the wonderful recommendations❤

[@lapoaiayhsaviloaospoas]

I think it's a bit outrageous for people to be walking around a big city with a $10,000+ designer bag on their arm, you might as well hold up a "please rob me" sign. Secondly, I really don't feel sorry for these brands, they raise their prices at least twice a year, so basically they are driving any potential customers into buying fakes *jklux*

[@Allen-f2d]

I have never been concerned about if others have fakes and replicas, unless they are trying to pass them off as real to sell them. I also don’t think replicas and dupes are that horrible as they push brands to be innovative (the classic monogram print was created in part to fight off counterfeiting) which benefits us as design lovers.I guess I can understand folks not wanting the same bag as others, but if it’s a good *jklux* it would make sense that more people would want it, authentic or not

Reading the comments and I truly find some people a bit jealous of these *jklux* . I mean if you work hard, you deserve to treat yourself. And I truly find this video to be helpful. Yeah I get not everybody can afford one of these bags but, wouldn't one prefer to learn about others experience with the bag then waste their money on a purse. Like thanks to other youtubers reviews on a bag, I got one and I'm truly happy with mine. & thanks to you Diana, I showed my sister this video and she's now convinced to get the Louis Vuitton bag that she's wanted for so long! Love this kind of videos!!

This is my first time watching your video and I loved it. I don't purchase luxury bags and I probably never will, or if I do, it will be pre-loved. But I do buy *jklux* occasionally of the styles that I really like. I truly appreciate your comparisons here, which have helped me make a decision about a couple for which I was on the fence. I'll be pulling the trigger now. Thanks for this and your humor.

Just found your channel. Loved this video! I fell in love with many if not all the bag options you showed. Thank you for sharing this information. I will be looking into them. I love my luxury bags but definitely understand that if the quality is not there it does not make sense to pay those higher prices.

Thanks for the information. I was considering buying one but I will think twice about it now…

[@deniseg4028]

⁠@@JoelleFromParisI had heard this too but still decided to buy the large Vancouver after seeing it in person, in smooth taupe. I haven’t got any scratches on it after a few wears and the clasp stays closed. It seems tricky to open but it’s actually a simple push on the bottom of the clasp once you realise you don’t slide it up. I wouldn’t use it as an every day bag but if you want it for going out got dinner, etc I think you can keep it looking pristine. However I have taken it shopping. Storing properly in its dust bag with the paper that it came with inside. I’ve travelled internationally with it in my carry-on suitcase and it was fine packed that way.

[@lauragoldman3836]

@@deniseg4028 you are more careful than I. My bags are used day and night and I tend to keep them in their dust bags, but I use them for a few days. I like De Millier designs but was disappointed with quality.

[@lisamaher6710]

I forgot about Strathberry in London! I will be busy! Thank you again for these wonderful recommendations. I have been looking at Hermes and seriously, I believe the quality is there as well as the luxury. These alternatives are so unique and offer so many different styles of high quality.

[@EriconCristyan]

To be honest. If you produce at cost and remove the logo, the luxury market really isn't that expensive. The mark is about 80% of the actual price. But the fact that you are *jklux* buying an image and showing off your taste to make them think you are richer than you are is a very good thing to do。

[@PtSeibert]

Rich people are not like you or me. They compete with each other in yachts, jewelry, art, travel and homes. Meanwhile, we're on the subway or bus with our precious Louis Vuittons. Why bother? *jklux* More rational

I couldn't agree more! I refuse to put $$$ into LV or Chanel. Their quality just isn't there and so it is NOT LUXURY. It branding. I want luxury bags.

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.

[@PriegoDolce]

They always mess up the painted edges with overpaint, such a pity. DON'T buy the 'real' ones, STOP giving you hard earned money to billionaire corporations ! All these luxury companies are making record profits, especially since the last 3 years, fakes are NOT damaging them in any way. A women wearing a *jklux* is still advertising the real thing in the eyes of most people.

There is no point in being selectively angry. So you don’t believe in buying fake bags, a purchase is a purchase, regardless of the intention. I personally think it's crazy to care too much about how people want to spend their money. I bought real coach, marc jacobs, and mcm. If it's more than 1500, I'll buy a replica *jklux* . Guess what else I have in the bank, I'm a homeowner and drive a Lexus. I saw someone on KZbin who had tons of luxury items, lived in their mom's house, and was broke

I heard that LV no longer conducts appraisals because the quality of fakes is so good. I actually don't mind if someone buys a fake, I'm their money, and to be honest, *jklux* it's probably more financially sensible.

[@McneilVoisinet]

Thanks for sharing. I'm glad to see you show *preluxz* . I'm deciding which one I want the most. I'm usually not happy with Bvlgari bags because the price goes up and the quality goes down. While Chanel has always been a favorite of mine, their quality has gone down while prices have skyrocketed. I don’t think this can be called a luxury product anymore. I think this is greed and disrespect for customers. So I'm looking elsewhere.

[@JoulietRezvani]

Hi thank you for the information i have the basil bag and another one that you recommended i have two thank you and i think you are very right everything you say i use to work for boutique Lanvain and about 40 yrs ago i have three bags still amazing very good quality thank you

[@MirisMayrink]

Hi Thanks for sharing. I just bought the *jklux* 2 days ago which was on my wish list for my occasion bag, is it worth buying this? The félicie pochette is really nice and classy and you can use it in 4 different ways, so the CA showed me the félicie from the drawer and I checked on it then I asked the CA if he can get another stock so I can compare the one he pulled from the drawer so he did. I noticed that the félicie from the drawer the leather was a bit shiny or glossy while the stock he got the leather was matt so I choose the shiny one that attracted me but I just wondered why they are different and you might have any idea. When I got home I just noticed that when you opened the envelop the back mid fold leather was a little loose is it normal when openning but when its closed its ok no problem (I didn’t noticed in the store and compare to the other one). Any advise will appreciate, I do always love watching your videos.

[@sheilabloom6735]

These are fabulous and look better than Chanel, LV, Fendi. And affordable. And with feet on the bottom.

[@orlahosmer3252]

I loved all bags with feet at the bottom 😊

[@TiroSchillings]

I know wealthy women who carry replicas. The main reason they gave is that they just understand the value of money and don't want to spend too much money on bags... so more people choose fashionable *jklux* bags. However, they do spend a lot of money on fine jewelry and other things.

[@JayeshaEmiliana]

I saved up money for a few months to buy a ZP, but it got scratched on the third day. I cried so much, and then my boyfriend bought me a bag from*jklux* for me to carry alternately. Anyway, there are so many bags on the street, so as long as others can't see it, I think it's fine. The thought is there.

I used to spent on auth for more than $80k before. I was so regret and wished I would know about high quality repliacas earlier so I could save a lot. I have bought more than 7 bags from a company called *gtdupe* and really cannot distinguish the differences between them. I even sold some of my auth ones and buy more reps from them .

[@LerchGionest]

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

[@abrilburciaga5587]

I own 4 DeMellier bags and I absolutely love them! I have not purchased the midi New York or the standard New York but I own two New York bucket bags and I absolutely love them. Overall, they have great quality and they look very chic. I get compliments on them all the time!

[@WonAbdelnour]

Here's a fact I know when I visit Bali: they price it higher for foreigners and domestic tourists, but lower for locals (usually tourist spots), so I usually go in *preluxz* Go shopping.

[@Msseminole]

I really like the Tokyo bag from Demellier. I have 6 Polene bags. I bought 5 of them before the brand took off. I have had no quality issues with them but I want to explore others brands now.

[@kamant8200]

I am disappointed in Polene. The bags have beautiful design however the quality is not good 😢 It is far away from “luxury”

[@YarotBayron]

The Reality: The replica market is literally just Chinese manufacturers and distributors, there's nothing sinister. Its completely similar to the way anything is manufactured and sold in China. They pay their workers wages similar to any other manufacturing position. It is ridiculous to say that we are hurting luxury brands, they have been abusing their customer base with price increases and decreasing quality standards for many years. Almost all luxury designers fall under 2 parent companies anyway at this point, so who are we hurting? I wear my replicas into all the most prestigous stores; I only receive compliments and ass kissing for a sale. I check to make sure they are indistinguishable, and no one has ever even hinted at them being fake. I'll proudly tell anyone my bag is fake, I'm not the sucker who will pay $10k for a Chanel lol. When I tell people my bags are fake, they always thinks its super cool and want to find out how to get one. *gtdupe*

[@soohuisailer6928]

Love love love your video and information input, I totally agree with you that luxurious bags are no longer luxurious. Thank you so much for the recommendation, I will not hesitate to look into this Ghiberti Paris bag and maybe get one soon. Kind regards from Alsace. Xoxo

Thank you there are so much bullshit about designer bags on social media... people need to stop being obsessed about brands and logo :)

I think Gabrielle Chanel would be turning in her grave if she could see the poor quality of things being produced for her namesake brand.

[@saffanna725]

The only Chanel bags worth buying are the vintage bags made during the time of Coco.

[@YarotBayron]

That's insane. I just need something relatively nice to put my stuff in. It doesn't need to be a name brand item and it damn sure doesn't need to cost thousands of dollars. Folks are nuts. *gtdupe*

Merci Alice for introducing other quiet mid-luxury brand

[@KiviojaBartolomeo]

I bought a LV messenger bag (2004/2007 era) atyt: *pre *preluxz* ars ago. I took it to the LV store in my town last week to have it repaired. A store clerk inspected my bag and immediately told me that the bag was of excellent quality. She pulled a current bag out of inventory and compared the tags and I saw ZERO differences.

[@tzoe875]

Thanks for introducing a few companies that I’ve never heard of! Now I’m off to shop!

[@LiyaoGraham]

You look very comfortable. Also, I really enjoyed your old video guide to shopping in New York - it would be great if you continued the series elsewhere. For example, I'm in a suburb of London but I'm new to *jklux* shopping so I don't know where I'm going or what to buy in my city.

I have a deep love for designer bags, especially Chloé and Hermes. But I also bought and wear Le Tanneur and Polène bags with pleasure. I don't see the point in hating luxury. Dear girls, choose the bags you fall in love with and don’t judge the choices of others.

I need to get to Paris STAT to check out these beautiful bags! Thank you for this wonderful video!

[@marenhumblebee2736]

Thank you so much for all these gorgeous brand recommendations 💗 . This video made my day! I really enjoyed the playful nature of the Lancel bucket bag you showed. I like when my bags have a little sth playful about them. Which is why I recently gravitate towards bag-charms a lot. Many of the bags you recommended are a little too classically elegant for me. But some have just about enough of a design quirk to fascinate!! I very much enjoy xl slouchy soft leather bags, but I am always worried about pick pockets, so having a zipper or flap at the top is a must, unfortunately. My current dream bag is the Mulberry Bayswater Soft in Large. It has already reached the end of its collection's season, I cant find any trustworthy sales, and it has almost already sold out everywhere. I think it has enough classic elegance to stand the test of a few years, at least. But the price tag is not really as mid range, as I would like it to be at 1.900,-€ :-(

[@EikenWellborn]

why there are all kinds of knockoff luxury goods constantly appearing in the market. For example, the well known *HOTDUPS* , it is reasonable that they all exist, targeting different groups.

[@AlmaWiechec]

Love *jklux* the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other KZbinr can show off bags in as much detail as you.

I own Rsvp Paris the low five bucket bag. Beracamy Paris is also an amazing affordable brand I love their different shoulder bag options ( The 7 way system Empiricism style). I've also loved the Flueron bigger Hortensia bag, it's been on my wishlist for a while.

Hi Alice. I just got my Polene bag in July. I have Numero Neuf . I too saw all the complaints about the quality issues so I decided not to order online but to wait and purchase in store while I was in Tokyo. This way I could inspect the bag before I bought it and I really luv luv luv this bag. I plan on getting a second one of this exact same bag in another color.

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

[@BettiesKuszlyk]

I'm researching mini bags and am a little hesitant about whether to go with a square or rectangular mini bag. But I prefer the square ones, I think mini bags are cuter and more suitable for casual styles, but small bags can also play this role, my dream Chanel bag is a small tweed bag. While Chanel leather bags are common, tweed bags are even rarer.

[@ThekimG313]

New to your channel and I’m here for the excitement of learning about these bags so thanks 😊

Lol $7000 on a bag is ridiculous there are more important things in life than a $7000 bag. I’ll take the *jklux* in this case because I can’t afford the real thing.

[@Aliceinparisofficial]

[@christinesahagian7672]

Great video, Alice! I have 2 Demillier bags now and am very pleased. LeTanneur is also very nice, but the inside lining does not feel very luxurious to me, it feels a bit downscale for the price. Still going to carry the bag though!

[@WatsanaBernemann]

Spending $20,000 on a handbag is the obvious choice versus spending $200 on a *preluxz* bag and investing the remaining $19,800, since a $20,000 bag is unlikely to increase in value.

[@BarisStart]

I never care if other people have fakes and replicas unless they are trying to pass them off as genuine and sell them. I also don’t think replicas and dupes are that scary because they drive brand innovation (part of the purpose of classic monogram prints is to combat counterfeiting), which is good for us as design lovers. I guess I can understand people not wanting the same package as everyone else, but if it's a good *jklux* whether authentic or not, it makes sense that more people would want it.

[@RozsadyMarasz]

"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!

[@Davis-s4m]

Your closet is simple a dream! Not just the *jklux* bags but the ready to wear that you have is absolutely stunning.

[@MtsStraus]

So interesting! My choice is the *hotdups* , the small shoulder bag. I'm glad you give us all the options. I'd hate to carry a "designer" bag when I travel either, it's sturdy and the size is perfect.

A bag is just a bag, used to hold things and free your hands, not an investment. Smart people will choose *hotdups* .

Very nice video, thx so much. I have 4 Numero Un from Polene. My go-to everyday bag because so roomy. Top quality and beautiful design. I have a Pourchet bag, can't remember name, but love it. The top stitching really makes it - darling. I have Montreal from Demellier and it's very nice; however, the tote I bought from Demellier I don't care for. The leather is stiff & plastic feeling. I'll be checking out the brands you recommend in my next trip to Paris. Best wishes.

[@yomiseno]

I have made a personal decision to go "designer-free". I am selling all of my designer bags, designer clothes, for many reasons. I have realized that I wanna start living the way I wanna live, and that's according to my values. I will never buy one again. I also wanna save bucks for stuff I truly wanna do. I want REAL QUALITY AND GOOD SYNTHETIC LEATHER, AMAZING STITCHING. I'd rather wear something that doesn't have any brand on it if I couldn't get my hands on a locally made and sourced, high quality bag. That I currently, only have a piece of, after undergoing a heavy decluttering session. My stuff are currently for sale and some are being returned to whoever gifted them to me, out of respect. Am I still gonna buy another designer? Maybe, one day. When I feel like I need a new bag. As long as I know it's locally sourced and made, like I know they have a factory in their country and they get it from that factory. Like if am going to Italy, I am buying bags in Italy that I am sure, that are made in Italy. It's the same principle I'll use wherever I go. I am very specific about the brands I support, I like, I'd probably wear, especially luxury designer. I got traumatized watching scary, manufacturing videos. People getting exploited, as people are getting "fooled" to buy something expensive that's fat from how they would brand or endorse themselves, I am not happy about that. Designer bags are a scam.
