[@ThanksToFashion]

Thank you so so much for such a beautiful comment 💕🙏🏼. Not easy to answer. One year ago I would have gone with the exact same bag but now I think I'd go with the one with black. If I didn't have my basket bag I would go with this one, without a doubt: bit.ly/3y9opuV I hope I didn't confuse you 😅.

[@FluffedUpFlair]

I love the anagram tote! I have it in the brown version :) I do really love that the other one has thicker straps

[@ThanksToFashion]

How do you get along with the straps of it? I was told that the straps would show wear quickly especially where they loop and cross each other. Thank you so much for watching! 🙏🏼💕.

[@FluffedUpFlair]

@@ThanksToFashion Yes! I was hesitating getting it too for a while. Many a times I was literally this close to getting it but didn’t cos I saw that happening on the display piece. Mine’s also pretty new so hasn’t shown wear yet though I think it will def be inevitable. I touched on it in my latest video on holiday beach bags :)

[@rebeccaalves4796]

You wearing this dress just makes me so happy to own mine as well! Obsessed with the cut! The flexibility of the black option is really a win for me because the traditional tan one I can easily recreate ( even the shape of the basket is used and of course sourced to many cheaper alternatives)

[@ThanksToFashion]

I love that dress so much! It is such a shame they don't do it anymore. A basket bag with black details is so versatile and I would love to own one but I cannot justify two expensive basket bags, yet😅. Maybe next year!

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I love the Loewe classic “straw” and tan leather, but the new black-trimmed one is a nice version, too. I love the anagram design and the varied weaves of the body of the bag. I think it would look better if they used black to sew on the anagram, rather than the light thread/material, which breaks up the design.

[@ThanksToFashion]

Yes I love that one but cannot justify having two similar such expensive basket bags, yet! 🙈. Thank you for watching!💕

[@matrixpingui]

Lovely video as always!! Thank you!! What do you think of the Loewe Shell basket bag please?

[@ThanksToFashion]

That one is made out of elephant grass and as far as I know this looks more yellow just because of its nature. I love that bag so and would love to see it in person before I take the plunge and settle for one. Thank you so much for watching and for your question! 💕🙏🏼

[@alternativevlog1180]

Both bags are lovely would love to own those...

[@ThanksToFashion]

Me too but I will send that black one back, since having two expensive basket bags in the same size is not sensible for me. Thank you so much for watching💕🙏🏼.

Thanks so much for this video! I ordered the Loewe square tote in the new tricolor with black and it's so chic. How have you raffia bags held up though? Also, how have your Oran sandals held up? I would like to order these before the price goes up again.

[@ThanksToFashion]

Really as I mentioned and give closeups of the bag at the end of this video. The oran sandals are great for narrow feet. I would love to have them in black too 🙈! Thank you so much for your lovely comment💕🙏🏼.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I use a “Bag in a Bag” inserts for all my totes. They’re lightweight, wipeable nylon and have compartments. So I can find my lipstick or keys immediately, they don’t just fall to the bottom under everything else, and keep my water bottle upright. I just have one beige one that works for all my totes, but they have different sizes and colors. (No affiliation, just like this bag insert, they other ones I found are dirt-attracting poly felt or too heavy).

[@ThanksToFashion]

Thanks for sharing, Great organisation! 🙏🏼

[@neharai828]

I would love to know which bag in a bag insert you use Kimberly? I like to keep my purse organised too. Thank you x

Now that you’ve had a little bit of time to use both bags, which one do you think is more durable?

[@ThanksToFashion]

I end up sending the one with black trimming back but I wouldn't say these bags are very durable. I look after my basket bag and would not take it for example on a plain. They are raffia bags after all. Thank you so much for watching.🙏🏼💕

[@poupee_girl]

Hi sorry I know you returned this bag but do you remember if the bottom sags when there's stuff inside? Thanks! 😊

[@ThanksToFashion]

Hi dear! They all do and also these bags are not great for filling up to the brim since they can dig into your shoulder. Thank you for asking! 💕

[@travelingeurope1651]

Hey even though the dress is not available - would you still mind sharing the brand and name of the black dress you are wearing in the beginning when sitting on the chair?❤❤❤

[@ThanksToFashion]

Of course! That dress is a few seasons old from & Other Stories. It is actually grey/navy. 💕

[@azanizah128]

Hello, i’m interested to get the anagram basket in black medium may i ask when u buy from the store do they give u a box?

Hi, yes in the store you get a box. Thank you for watching! 💕

[@allisonl2649]

Do the round straps on the bag slip easily? Thanks!!

[@ThanksToFashion]

Not like the thicker straps. So much better but they dip in more. 💕

[@Lipbalmqueen11]

What are your thoughts about traveling with basket bags? Can u pack them in a suit case? Or fit under an airplane seat?

[@ThanksToFashion]

I wouldn't, since they can break easily unless you travel by care and have enough room for it. I would definitely not place them under an airplane seat.

[@peachykeen3582]

@@ThanksToFashion Darn...I just bought the large Anagram straw bag so I can take it on beach vacations. I researched and decided I can take it through security screening by placing it inside the dust bag to protect it, but totally forgot I had to stow it under a seat on the airplane. It probably won't even fit and I will have to find space for it up above. 😫

[@alana.gr_1345]

which one is lighter? because im in between both but i want comfort and lightness most importantly xx

[@ThanksToFashion]

Not an easy pick, they are both very light weight. I have recently received a message from a follower saying the monogram one has an issue with straps pealing because they rub against each other. Just to let you know.

[@alana.gr_1345]

@@ThanksToFashion the monogram one i like because of the straps! 😫 But theyre very thin so i dont think i can keep carrying it on my shoudlers anyway🤣So im getting the other one in white plus its so much cheaper than the other one especially on mytheresa & matchesfashion!

I have the classic Loewe basket bag and it hasn’t soften. It is exactly as it I bought it. Thank you so much for watching 💕.

[@playdeaddear]

I know the dresses you’re wearing in this video are sold out, but please could you let me know where they are from anyway? It helps with tracking down sold out items that we like on resale websites! Many thanks

Of course, the dark one is from & Other Stories and the white one is from Arket. Both old but I have found really good alternatives for them and linked them in the description box of this video. 💕

I'm torn between both bags and can only choose one. Did you keep the anagram bag?

[@ThanksToFashion]

I sent that one back. In the mean time I have also sold the classic one too. Anyway, at this point I am not sure if I should have any expensive basket bag at all, since I don't feel comfortable wearing them with delicate clothing and also don't feel great carrying them in the city.

@@ThanksToFashion thank you for replying, I do appreciate it. I think after a lot of research I might go with the square straw bag. I really love watching your videos and have subscribed.

[@cookiedough124]

will the material of this bag ruin clothes?

[@ThanksToFashion]

Also my concern! This hasn't yet happened but if the the raffia brakes a bit and those woody pieces stick out, it could of course ruin the clothes. Thank you so much for watching!💕

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I find two sets of straps on a bag very annoying, especially when they’re fairly close in size, like this one.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

When you use the shoulder straps on the new bag, the hand strap sticks out in a way that makes it really easy for thieves to tear the bag away from you. It needs a bit of design tweaking, now that I look at it in more detail.

[@ThanksToFashion]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience!

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Speaking of Loewe, I really, really want their filigree-buckle belt. But ouch, the price! I have a smaller wardrobe budget than you, but try to find the best-quality natural fiber and leather items that aren’t designer-price point. I would love it if you could offer high-quality alternatives. Most YTers only offer really low-quality alternatives, like plastic handbags, footwear and belts, but I prefer the real thing at the “Premium High Street” (the best descriptor I could think of) price level. So, Lily Silk silk trousers, not Loewe ones. I would persist in getting the Toteme black printed silk trousers if I had your budget, they are fantastic. Get the larger size you tried, then have them altered if necessary. Such a timeless, but special, item. I always enjoy your videos, but try not to covet!

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I think the “filigree” style might be what’s called the Anagram, I didn’t notice it was anagram.

[@ThanksToFashion]

such beautiful belt! I will let you know if I come across a good alternative. 💕
