The BEST "if you know...you know" BAGS to buy in 2023! 🤫

[@Giannas1096]

Jessie, this is one of your best videos. I appreciate so much you showing us alternative luxury bags that are quality made and worth the money. I’m sick of seeing LV and Chanel everywhere ❤️

[@Jessiestyle]

thanks Gianna!! Yes sometimes brands that are not as showcased are social media are more fairly priced and better quality!

[@ritafernandes7218]

I am such a Tod’s fan , so glad to see you appreciating the quality of the brand. I think they’re historically renowned for their driving shoes so their age tend to be “cheaper”. The leather is insane - so so soft , buttery. It’s the best out of all the brands I own.

[@jolies5329]

Fantastic video today Jess! Thanks for exploring non-mass market luxury. Much less boring, and better quality. Valextra, Ferragamo and Delvaux are all in my bag wardrobe.🥰

[@Jessiestyle]

ooo I would love a Delvaux bag!! I already went a little too bag crazy this year though..hehe

[@myhubbyislouisvuitton4218]

My under the radar bag is my Proenza Schouler PS11 classic. She has no visible branding and I love her 😍

[@Jessiestyle]

Thats a good one!!!

[@asunbeam5479]

As an alternative to the LV bag, cafuné's pendulum bag would give a similar vibe in a more understated way

[@lundi44]

Azzedine Alaia makes great looking bags - distinctive, no visible logo but still classic. Their recently released heart bag apparently was quite popular. And actually, the heart mules as well.

[@wendybacheart]

Have you looked at Moynat bags, they are exquisite, the quality is comparable to Hermes and they are one of Frances oldest trunk/bag makers. Their bags are all hand made from start to finish by the one artisan. They have gorgeous designs, cute top handle bags and one that I would say is an alternative to the Hermes mini Kelly. I have one of these on my wish list. Pretty expensive though not as expensive as Hermes. Mel in Melbourne did a tour of them a while ago and also So Anesu does amazing videos of under the radar bags.

[@Jessiestyle]

oo i really like the Rejane bag!! I wish we had a store in Australia ^_^

[@cindyphan16]

Hi Jess! Thanks for the video. Would you consider making a video about luxury brands that make their bags by hand and not machines? Seems like with how things r going these bags should be more appreciated than machine made bags.

[@Jessiestyle]

oo thanks Cindy!! let me do some research!!!

[@kateef8441]

I love that Tod’s bag. This was a great video. Jess!🎉

[@Jessiestyle]

💕Thanks lots Kate!!

[@janec8971]

Your videos are so good! Ferragamo is top quality

[@AnastasiaBeverhousen]

I absolutely live the under the radar luxury bags. They really scream luxury and only who knows knows. I have several LVs, Chanels, 1 YSL and I’m so over them with big logos plus everyone has them. Great video!

[@Whitedove6]

I love Vintage and Your Black Bag is Gorgeous 🥰

[@Jessiestyle]

thanks Sunset xoxox

[@lesliecraven3087]

I love my vintage iconic Ferragamo

[@Jessiestyle]

super under rated bag!!

[@nat-qi6ou]

I agree about Valextra, it's a "silent luxury" staple, I also love Loewe and Tod's (trying to get one now in particular color). I would like to point at another great alternative to Saint Laurent Icare hobo, it's Loewe's discontinued Calle bag. Older versions with larger padlock are classic hobos, latest version had a Picotin kind of constriction, all were made of divine leather. Thank you for introducing Joseph Duclos, pretty nice. There's also that coveted brand Moynat. LVMH owns them. Not a great value as they are pretty expensive, but supposedly bags are made of the highest quality leather and it's possible to find a better price on resale market. I'm particularly drawn to their saturated colors.

[@seagreen2034]

Have you heard of the American brand Mark Cross? Beautiful quality & they still plate their hardware in gold.

[@misselena6382]

I just placed an order for my first ever Launer bag. I hope I will like it, I am a little nervous now. It will have my name engraved inside in golden letters, so I hope it will be amazing forever piece in my collection. I think they are reasonably priced for a made to order bags. Joseph Duclos is intriguing, but I am not a fan of that big gold plate going around plus the price is way too high for a bag with no resale value imho. Thanks for another great video Jess! xoxo

[@Jessiestyle]

ooo thats exciting Elena! I do like how you can get creative with the colours! Let me know how you love it! I have never seen one in real life before! If i got to europe i will have a look out!

[@luci1149]

Carolina Herrera, the leather is amazing and just feels super classy. I like the Matryoshka Locked in the x-tra small. They don't have the color I want anymore, so searching for it pre-loved. They're also very affordable pre-loved. Great chain bags I'd rather have than Chanel, also love the Andy bags/Andy lock and nice SLGs. I don't know why more people don't talk about them, but makes them a bit more unique/special to me. Their "lipstick" shoulder bag is a great alternative to the LV Pochette Accessoires and nicer/better I think in person.

[@Jessiestyle]

ooo ill check it out CH and andy bags!

[@thebaggeek]

Love ur vintage ferragamo

[@Jessiestyle]

💕

[@candissweetloveforlv]

Great video! Enjoyed watching this! 💕💕💕

[@Jessiestyle]

thanks lots Candi!!! xooxoxoxo

[@deeplyerring]

Jess! I just placed an order for the Diane top handle in 20cm in the slate grey. Had never heard of them until this video. I didn’t buy it because I’m looking for an “if you know…you know”. I just love the design. Especially that clasp. And I look forward to seeing the leather develop a patina. I have loud LV monogram bags, chanel classic flaps, goyard totes that everyone has, coach, Disney loungeflys, etc. If I like it, I want it. My bag should arrive some time in June. Thanks for introducing me to this new brand!

[@Jessiestyle]

WOOOOWW!! that bag is an absolute dream!!! let me now when you get it!

[@deeplyerring]

@@Jessiestyle I was saving for my first brand new Chanel medium flap bag (I only have older 2nd hand) in either the classic flap or the 2.55 but I went into the store and the quality didn’t seem worth it at these new prices. I’m no leather expert but even my YSL bag felt nicer. I will reach out when it arrives in a few months!

[@deeplyerring]

@@Jessiestyle btw, their digital manager asked me how I discovered their brand and I told them I learned from your channel and this video specifically. 😀

[@Jessiestyle]

@@deeplyerring ooo wow!!!! Thanks so much for the mention 🥰🥰🥰

[@bagsandlifestyle]

Thank you for sharing Tod’s! They have beautiful pieces and they have outlets in the U.S.A. I am sure they have them located in other countries too. I just did a video about Tod’s I am scheduling to come out in April. I read an article about them reaching a Billion Euros in sales and now have a new creative director from Bottega. Love Ferragamo too. I think the classic Gancini style you featured is a great option for people after the Kelly style bags.

[@Jessiestyle]

amazing!!! going to watch your video now :)

[@bagsandlifestyle]

@@Jessiestyle thank you! It won’t be line until the first week in April . I can let you know when it is live

[@Jessiestyle]

@@bagsandlifestyle yes i tried to find it! hehe that would be awesome!

[@bagsandlifestyle]

@@Jessiestyle 😂. Will do!

[@mizmelbourne]

That Todd’s hobo is gorgeous 😊

[@Jessiestyle]

It really is!

[@ArabellaCharm]

I can't put my finger on it, but Delvaux reminds me a bit of Zac Posen bags. Perhaps it's the hardware?

[@murielleaendekerk4601]

Amazing brands are: Delvaux, Mark Cross, Delage ❤

[@promdiabroad1616]

I am going to buy that Ferragamo!

[@Jessiestyle]

OOoo I really want it too!!

[@kaylheecarroll3186]

Great alternatives and review 😊❤

[@McRambleOn]

Great Idea for a vid and great suggestions

[@Gattosirio]

The last one looks like a mix of a Herbag and a Garden Party!

[@Jessiestyle]

oo yes i see that!!!

[@Miss_A.]

Your gudetama shirt is so cute ❤

[@Jessiestyle]

thanks!!! I got it in Japan! ^_^

[@VenustrengHT]

Great video! Jessie, I would add the New Lock Maison Margiela bag, it’s so beautiful!

[@Jessiestyle]

ooo good suggestion!

[@christinetan2012]

Moreau-Paris! I’m recently looking at this brand 😀

[@Jessiestyle]

OOOo ill have a look! I have heard of this brand!

[@TFLDesign]

Yep, always loved Ferragamo's quality but couldn't quite find a bag I liked until the new CD came in. Saw the Spring 2023 runway show online and fell in love with the orange airbrushed top handle in the tiny rectangle form. I waited months for its release and finally got it after roaming all over Japan! Apparently they're rare in Asia and I just happened to have been vacationing there on the day it released.

[@Jessiestyle]

WOW!!! its rare? oo now i'm tempted! you can get the airbrushed top handle in melbourne too! I LOVE it!

[@TFLDesign]

@@Jessiestyle Haha, that's what a supposed Ferragamo SA told me online. I had gone to at least 5 different Ferragamo stores within Taiwan AND Japan and everyone said they didn't have it until the last Japan shop I visited said they'd get it in 2 days. (The Taiwan shop did say they could order it, but it'd take a month and I wasn't going to be there for that long.) I don't want to be responsible for another big purchase of yours but...... YES, I LOVE the orange to red gradient effect of the spring releases!

[@JenniferFabbian]

Awesome video, Jessie! Love the Tod's T Timeless Hobo and the Ferragamo Iconic Top Handle bag. That Joseph Duclos Fontélie bag is too beautiful, but you already know how I feel about it 😂💕

[@Jessiestyle]

haha yes Jen!!!! hopefully we can see one in real life some day!!!

[@JenniferFabbian]

Goals! Lol

[@archeewaters]

i'm will definitely visit the boutiques when i go to paris. it will be my disney world.

[@Jessiestyle]

so lucky!!! let me know which store were your favs!!!!

[@sherylwickenheiser2582]

Where do you find such adorable tee shirts? I am really enjoying your videos.

[@Jessiestyle]

i got this one in harajuku japan hehe!

[@seabreeze4559]

cartier is under the radar for leather goods

[@sandyjean-baptiste368]

So I went down a rabbit hole, I went on EBay just to see what a vintage Ferragamo bag goes for and I ended finding a vintage gray top handle with a strap for $145…next thing I know it’s in my cart, it doesn’t have the iconic buckle but says Ferragamo on it…I really need to get off KZbin 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@niconinimurphette1804]

You’re pronouncing Icare perfectly right 😊 it’s the French translation of the name Icarus.

[@Jessiestyle]

yay! thanks for letting me know Nico ^_^!

[@PiperSevern]

Love this video! If you know you know is what I am all about this.I've bought 2 puzzles this year.I have a double T tods crossbody and vintage gucci kelly dupe (Japanese markets).Sold my Boy Bag... you and Dacob seconded my thoughts on Chanel . I am rapidly going off Chanel .

[@Jessiestyle]

ooo vintage gucci is amazing!!!

[@DonaLeopoldina-dr4so]

The mini Kelly is a ridiculous bag!

[@Jessiestyle]

its a dream for me to get but not for a crazy premium! hehe

[@OlesyaBagStory]

Why nobody speaks about Moynat?

[@Jessiestyle]

I wish we had a store in Aus! Love the look of Moynat bags!

[@bags_books_and_bowwows]

When I hear people say that Chanel may be increasing prices to position the company to sell to LVMH, I think that several brands on your list would be a much better addition to the LVMH portfolio... just imagine what could happen to some of these super high quality brands like Delvaux or Joseph Duclos with large-scale marketing. Either of those brands seem to me to be better positioned to give LVMH a shot at having a brand to compete with Hermes than Chanel does. Haha, not like LVMH asked for my opinion.😂

[@dva5610]

I’d rAther those companies stay private for so many reasons. Being part of a conglomerate is not a good thing for consumers.

[@Jessiestyle]

indeed! who knows what direction these brands may go in future! I think LVMH will own much more brands which may impact of quality but who knows!

[@bags_books_and_bowwows]

​@@dva5610 - if you Google "who owns" and the name of these brands, you see that these are not the independant artisanal workshops their marketing might lead you to imagine. A Swiss conglomerate purchased Delvaux in 2021. Joseph Duclos is a more interesting story. A French investor bought the long-defunct tannery in 2021 and brought in two of the people who had helped resurrect Moynat for LVMH. The handbags and marketing are designed to make you feel like you've stumbled upon an under-the-radar brand with a storied history, even though the original brand's offerings never included handbags. They're absolutely stunning bags, and if I had that kind of money to burn, I might. To me, it's a fascinating story.

[@Catscosta888]

I refuse to buy LV bags. As a seasoned collector -and the sales people are outrageously rude - and the brand is so overly knocked off - i wonder if the knock offs are a better option - if I would carry that basic starter bag… it would be a fake ! Cuz that’s what LV is worth to me Nothing ! I ended up giving all my LV bags except the first one I ever bought 25 years ago…. To my cousins and they enjoy them now . I like Hermes and Dior now And ysl

[@Giannas1096]

The LV dot bag is a complete rip off, looks like a child painted it.

[@Jessiestyle]

its super pricey!

[@tidatah9823]

Omg you're right. I hate that LV dot bag.

[@dianawilson13]

What's wrong with Kate Spade?

[@Jessiestyle]

nothing :) its justy not as expensive thus Id rather go for kate spade than launer

[@dianawilson13]

@@Jessiestyle That's awesome. I got burned buying higher end lux and so now I stick to the lower tier stuff and I just adore my Kate Spade pink (faux) shearling.

[@deborahcurtis1385]

Launer just looks matronly. There is no real style to them. At least the Kelly has variation in the width so there is some shape shifting going on and the subtlety of the clasp etc. Launer? Nope I just think of church-going ladies who are extremely 'safe' and the different colours don't compensate it just looks awful. The alternative Joseph Duclos is excellent, the matte and the shape is stylish and modern. It will lift your outfit whereas I just think of goody goody with the Launer. Zero personality. Your makeup looks fantastic today. Try going even a bit more adventurous with the eyeliner, it's very you! Colours very you too.

[@Jessiestyle]

ooo eyeliner can be difficult!! I am always trying to change up my eye shadow colours hehe! Thank Deborah! Happy weekend!

[@deborahcurtis1385]

@@Jessiestyle Because you have brown eyes you can rock full on aqua pearlised eyeliner. And go more dramatic with the black sweeping eyeliner like Maria Callas. It would look awesome but the rest totally neutral.
