I never owned or intended to buy a designer bag, but one thing I learned from RUclips is that if I ever would, it better be a Chanel Classic double flap in black caviar leather with silver hardware.
I've had my gucci soho for 3 years, wore it every single day and just repurchased it in another colour, it's the most elegant, simple and timeless designer item I own. I could never get sick of it
i dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account? I stupidly lost the account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me
Hi Sophie, Completely AGREE with your opinion on Louise Vuitton bags. I own the Gucci Soho Disco and Chanel double flap caviar and Lady Dior mini and they ae FAB bags! Thank you so much for this vid. Red looks lovely on you.
I just wanna let you know, ever since I began watching your channel, I stopped collecting loads of card holders and wallet on chains and began investing more in small bags (I tend to like my bags more compact) And after watching you mention the soho disco in two videos... I came across it on vacation and immediately got it. Has became one of the favorite bags out of my collection! 🙂
So, regarding LV, I inadvertently ended up with what I feel are a rather classic pairing that one may want to consider. I have several LVs, but my favorites are my DE Speedy 30 and DE Neverfull GM. The DE is the best of the canvas versions IMO, they wear like iron regardless of the weather, and they don't gave the droopy, discolored look that the monogram print with vachetta straps has as the bag ages. I am a taller person, so both of those sizes work well for me, and the pairing of the two is actually really cool. I bring them both out in the fall. Depending on what is going on, I can use either as my handbag, and if I can also use the NF for weekends/overnights, as a carry on or a work tote. LV is a luggage company originally, and carrying both when you are on the go looks quite smart. I also carry a Black Epi Pochette (discontinued, but you can use another smaller bag instead) in both to be used as a clutch when needed. I often wanted to try different patterns when getting my LVs, but matching the pattern up like this, especially the darker, more sophisticated print of the DE, works so nicely for fall and winter adventures.
Here two years later to say the Soho Disco is still a thing (I love mine), and I’m convinced that it’s the Tardis of little leather bags. You can fit so much in it that I’m convinced it’s larger on the inside than the outside.
I am getting my first Chanel in Feb (for my 60th bday). So excited. Def getting black caviar , not sure if jumbo or medium. Sophie do you have both sizes? If so do you have any videos where you show them side by side and on the body. Love your videos, everyone.
Michele McGlone Chase Aimie on YT has done several videos comparing the chanel bag sizes. She is also a UK based luxury fashion YTer. My two cents worth get the jumbo. I got the medium because I’m only 5 ft 2 inches and felt the medium went better with my body size. Not much fits in it. The jumbo was only $700 USD more. I’m likely going to get the jumbo in another color in the future.
Sandra R may I ask what you recommend for a 5’5 tall, would you recommend jumbo for everyday as well as evening? Or stick to medium for versatility? Thanks
I'm surprised you didn't mention the LV Alma. I thought that was one of your must haves? So glad you think the Gucci Soho Disco bag is up there as you have now helped me commit to finally getting it.
I thought you might have mentioned the Alma too as it is so practical and smart depending on the leather or canvas chosen. I still haven’t got one myself, but this and the Disco are my most coveted at the moment for suiting my lifestyle. You look gorgeous too Sophie. Stay dry in this wet and windy day xxx
I agree with everything you said except for the LV print looking dated and having its day, not just because I love it but because every young girl I come in contact with goes crazy over my Monogram bags, and as long as the next generation lust over these bags then there here to stay. Just my opinion 🤷🏾♀️ lol . Great video!
That is funny, because I carry the DE print primarily, and slightly older women (20s-40s) go nuts for it, and many have no idea it is even a LV. I love the dark, rich color of the Damier Ebene, and I like it for luggage too. Some folks do not realize that DE was the original LV print, at least it was created before the monogram. The monogram was created to help (ironically) fool counterfeiters. Now I think it is the most illegally duplicated print in the world.
Great list. I agree with you on so many levels. I too am not a fan of Hermes. I've just never found them to be as special as the price tag and the level of difficulty to get them. I'm just not big on the whole horse theme. I have the Gucci Disco bag and love it. I also have a few different Speedys and I have had a Speedy in my collection for well over 30 years. So that definitely speaks to their iconic status.
I love my Soho Disco. Perfect for travel and knocking about. I was shocked that they had a price increase, from $980 to more than $1K. Not sure I'd buy it at that price, though, but I highly recommend it.
I love your videos Sophie your so down to earth someone I’d see myself being friends with in real life! Watched everyone of your videos thank you and never stop producing them🤞🏼❤️❤️
Shannon Mcfadden I don't think the monogram is dated. It sort of does come and go but right now I'd say it's quite popular (personally, never been a fan of it)
Can't stop staring at your blazer! Neverfull MM was my first designer purchase. It's holding up well in busy NY but I guard it with my life, especially on the busy subway, since it's so open. The Antigona has been at the top of my wishlist for years but I still haven't pulled the trigger. Maybe I'll finally do it soon.
It’s actually not a bad thing! I was thinking that due to the fake market perhaps, the LV Mono is getting the reputation that Burberry’s Nova Check got in the early 2000s?xxx
@@SophieShohetOfficial I agree, its absolutely ever where (mostly fake). Burberry took a long time to recover, I think its smart for LV to try and fix the issue before it kills their brand. Having said that, I really wanted a damier azur speedy and I think I will be out of luck, they are not carrying it in our local boutique at all.
I am glad I got a speedy and neverfull while I could a few years ago, but now I don't wear them as often exactly because I feel like the print is a bit dated now and is everywhere, which annoys me. I would definately save up and get a plain leather LV in the future, they have very cool new stuff.
Hi Sophie, could you make video about buying second hand bag , what the detail I should look for. And also buying tips for people who just start theirs collection. Love your videos, xoxo
kkkapi it depends on the specific bag and brand but usually it’s the code number on the bag or which country it was made. Sites like the real real point out what you should look for in the real thing, or you could get the item authenticated
I actually have both of the LV bags you mentioned and I bought them in 2009 & 2011 and both are in amazing condition still + they both cost about £400 back then and I can see now they are double that. I agree that the big size never full hangs and doesn't look great but I have the medium size which looks much more chic especially when I push the sides in and tie the ends. I love to wear it like that as it's more secure and looks less casual. I love the Gucci bag you mentioned and really want to get it so now I have a reason to ;)
My mom loves her gracefull and she hasn’t worn another handbag since she got that it was her first designer bag and she hasn’t worn anything else and she’s had it for 18 months lol and it still looks amazing she always used to wear Michael kors and the stuff often had quality issues so she decided to get it and she is so happy she got it
I felt the same way about the LV print but now I’m Loving it again... goes to show they’re not going anywhere. I would add the LV Keepall to your list and the Longchamp pliage Tote. :)
3 things: 1) please wear red more often, it looks STUNNING on you 2) I loved your mini rant on the neverfull because I feel the exact same way 3) as someone who has had replicated LV they’ve really nailed the canvas print down to the pebbling, so I 100% get what you’re saying by thinking it looks dated/the counterfeit market killed it
Can you share more about branded concession shop, whete to find them? what's you take on duty-free shopping in Chanel, Dior etc and would you take us to Heathrow /any other duty free shopping.
looking great Sophie! i totally agree with you on your opinion on classic bags... i have those except for the gucci soho bag. ❤️😍😘 would love to own it one day!
I agree with your picks completely. I also agree that the LV monogram has been devalued due to fakes and over exposure. Thanks for another helpful and interesting video 💕
Great list! I agree with most, not as much with disco although it is a great bag, don’t think of it as iconic. I would love a Kelly one day and although the classic flap is most certainly iconic, I prefer a boy or a reissue to add to my collection. I would also add Balenciaga city to this list and Celine luggage.
I use TheRealReal, Poshmark, , FASHIONPHILE, and LuisaViaRoma so far . I’m going a little nuts checking, cross checking, looking at retail stores, but right now I have a bookmark on a taupe Gucci Dionysus (all one neutral color, no embroidery, no bamboo) and a SoHo Disco in black . It’s hard to find a Lady Dior, but there are about 4 I’ve seen lately for resale. I think stores agree with you about the Gucci Soho Disco because the price is about the same 1100 USD everywhere. (New it’s 1290 usd). I’m trying not to go nuts but discovering low heeled designer shoes also has my eye. I’m looking at jelly Valentino rockstud flat sandals for less than $250. I’m trying to take this slowly but OMG I want it all. Luckily, I don’t like bags that flare out (flying buttresses?) like the Antigona and Celine bags. Phew. I have narrowed it down. I’m also enjoying SLGs in mid price nice brands, like Kate Spade and Coach. But Loewe has my interest with the bunny. I want it as a bag charm but for anyone reading this, there are a couple rabbit shaped handbags on those resale sites. I did buy a Louis Vuitton epic hobo style bag before fully understanding that it could be dated. The color and bag style were only around from 2000-2002. I was looking for subtle and I am 57 yo, so maybe I can get away with a mature bag, as well. I see myself more with a Dionysus or even a Sylvie than the Soho Disco - just by my age alone. Idk if anyone reads my scattered American thoughts. I never expected this to be so absorbing. I love Sophie Shophet and the 3 part closet tour of Sonya Sed (sed is short for...a longer name lol). I’m nearly dizzy from all the coupons, offers, temporary holiday discounts. If you make decent money, SaksFifthAvenue has become far more accessible than I ever saw. I’ll check in after a New Year trip to Las Vegas where I expect the boutiques will be friendly places to shop even to this wannabe. Happy and Merry.
Great video. I pretty much agree with everything with the exception of the Neverfull. I think that bag is extremely practical. I use it for work, as a carry on when traveling, and an overnight back. It’s been shoved under airplane seats, placed on the ground, and stuffed it a small drawer at work and it still looks new. However, I do have it in the DE print which IMO is a lot more durable and ages better than monogram. As for it losing its shape when you put it down, that has never happened and I’ve had mine for 2 years now. But I saw your other video when you were discussing why you didn’t like the bag, and you have the largest size. The MM size doesn’t collapse on itself and it still holds a lot. As for security I don’t much worry about that because I mainly carry it on my shoulder. I also use a lot of slg’s with that bag, and put important items in the zipper pocket.
Great video Sophie, thank you! My two favourites are the Chanel classic flap (caviar, black, medium size) and the Gucci disco bag. That red Balmain blazer looks amazing on you!! :)
HI Sophie. I sold all my L.V. Monogram print bags to fund my Chanel collection. I'm so glad I did, now I own 4 classic flaps. There's a very good reason the word Classic is in the title. I'm hoping to find the perfect Tweed flap just like yours.
I'm in love with all my designer bags and each one I bought except for my Chanel classic flap medium,were purchased with the thought of resale value. I own two LV bags and truly I hate both but my husband bought them as gifts. My favourite two bags that I own are my Prada's I just love the leather and feel of them. But to be totally honest I've just recently purchased 5 ( not all at once ) Michael Kors bags. These bags are wonderful for everyday use are great for work or going for coffee and the colours are wonderful it's quite amazing how often I've been complimented on these bags and compared to my high end bags these really are underrated.
Sophie, what do you think about Balenciaga city bags? I'm quite drawn into them but still have mixed feelings. They look bit 90's, but on the other hand are still being continued in different lines and also are quite practical.
Hello Sophie! That Balmain blazer is stunning on you and if you ever wonder what is your shade of red - that cherry one (your blazer) is it. 😍🌞 Agree with your choice of bags and think the same about LV ones, the logo got killed by fakes
I got my first LV bag (Speedy 30 in DE) 12 years ago and its still a classic and is in excellent condition😀I have the Neverfull PM in DE and just bought the Gucci Soho disco in black. Love classic bags that won’t date🤍
Hi Sophie. Can you give me your opinion? Please😍! Do you think the Chanel CC Trendy Bowling Bag in the small with top handle and classic chain in black lambskin quilt and gold hardware (its is more mini then small) will look dated as time goes in? I feel the top handle and the gold classic chain will help it stay in trend. Just curious on your thoughts since I just purchased this new about 1 month ago.
Looking for my first big designer handbag . Really love the Lady Dior in black and have been looking onVestiare, some are vintage , what does that mean ? Or is it better to buy new ? With the flap rather than the zip top
Sophie what are your thoughts on other brands that have a barrel bag like the speedy? Do you consider the design or the print that dates a bag (sometimes both)
Sophie can you do a video on items to start a lux collection and your preference? You may have already done this and if so can you tag the video please? Thanks in advance!
Hi Sophie! I totally agree with you on these bags. I own a few of them you mentioned. The one thing I struggle with is what you said about the Chanel. I have the jumbo and wished so much I got the medium. I’m petite and it feels so big where as the Lady Dior is perfect even though they are completely different in style. I’m gravitating more to the smaller bags even crossbody. I have thought about selling the Chanel for this reason but I just don’t know if I would regret it. Do you ever think about selling yours or would you just get a medium one day and have both? Thank you so much for the time you put into making these videos. I enjoy your content very much. Hugs and kisses from Atlanta Georgia❌⭕️
I think the celine box (which is the only phoebe-design that’s survived the head designer change) and clasp bag from chloe are on par in “value retention” with the gucci disco- the brands really started (successfully) rebranding themselves around the same time and are priced similarly
Hey Sophie love you lots.. just wanted to know your opinion on what size Chanel to get! It’ll be my first one (hopefully not my last) and I’m not sure if I should get a small or medium. I really like the small as it’s versatile to be worn in the evening but most people have medium 🤷🏽♀️ however I’m only willing to pay store price for only one Chanel bag in my life and, if I’m to get others, then they’ll be pre-loved so I want to make this first buy count ha!
It's so interesting how, since I've started watching your videos, my perspective on luxury items has changed. For example, I've come from rather little money and so I would normally be beyond ecstatic to purchase a Valentino bag, but without having any mindfulness as to resale value. Now as someone who in 2-3 years will be able to purchase some of these items, I'm definitely more cautious of "splurging" on a $400 bag when if I hold out for maybe a year or two, I'd be able to purchase something that I not only love but could re-sell if I needed or wanted to. It's one thing to have a standard investment portfolio, but one of the most important parts of investing is the diversity of your assets. Hermes being an excellent example that you mentioned.
Loveing the list 💪🏽 i would maybe add celine box bag and hermes constance for the same reasons you mention the others: classic, they been here for ever, they going up and up in price...and they are simply stuning if you ask me 😄
The jewelry was the first thing I noticed! Super cute, great job! A client just told me a story about her wallet getting stolen out of her Never Full... The Goyard version that zips shut is more popular here in SF, CA I think for that reason...
Ok, am I the only one who hates lady dior? 😂 I find it to square-y and impractical. I am also not a fan of Chanel since the prices have skyrocketed and the quality went down. Out of all of them, the gucci soho disco is a winner for me, hope I will find the colour I am looking for. P.s. you look great, the blazer looks awesome on you
I agree re the lady Dior. The handles seem very impractical. Being based in Australia, I need to be able to fit sunglasses and the case in my handbag!!
Hey Sophie, what are your thoughts on the celine nano luggage bags, or just the luggage collection in general. I think those are a staple/classic bag but would love to hear your thoughts
Hello lovely Leah! I think they’re so cute and I’m loving the new direction Celine are going in now, bringing back the old logo etc. I think they’re so chic 👍xx
@@SophieShohetOfficial oh my gosh thank you so much for your reply ☺I agree, I was curious as I've never heard you mention that particular bag. I love your videos you're wonderful!
Sophie I definitely agree with all of these bags! I love all of them! I really to want to givenchy antigona bag in my collection hopefully sometime next year 😁
What do you think of the Gucci Marmont Camera bag?? Super trendy? I was thinking about getting it as my first Gucci but started hearing how super trendy it is and afraid of it getting dated so quickly. TIA!
I, for one, love the LV monogram. I don't think it looks dated at all, I think it's classy and classic. Yes, the counterfeit market is huge on it, but so it is on Chanel and Hermes.

I never owned or intended to buy a designer bag, but one thing I learned from RUclips is that if I ever would, it better be a Chanel Classic double flap in black caviar leather with silver hardware.
SAMEEE My dream is to own a Lady Dior lambskin bag size medium in a maroon color
Teddy 97 yesssss girl! Perfect choice...this was my first designer in medium size, no regrets! It’s a bag for lifeeee and a great investment piece xx
I know right?! :D I would get it with gold hardware though
Oh yes. The Chanel Classic Double Flap is my holy grail bag. I will always want one.
Why silver hardware instead of gold?
I've had my gucci soho for 3 years, wore it every single day and just repurchased it in another colour, it's the most elegant, simple and timeless designer item I own. I could never get sick of it
Omg !!! That Balmain blazer suits you amazing...the colour is perfect 4 you. I never saw you so fancy. 😑😑😑
The theme of the video was originally: bags. But the blazer defeats them all. Lady in red ... looks good
Looking so fab in the cherry blazer, you've been spoiling us with all these videos!! ❤️❤️
You are most kind Mitchell my friend! I hope you have a great weekend!xx😘💖😘
i dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly lost the account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me
@Baylor Dylan Instablaster ;)
LOL "cuz it'll scratch like a mother." I love you.
WE WILL NEVER BE SICK OF THE LADY DIOR!!! I have 2!!! Also this Blazer looks incredible on you! ❤️❤️❤️
I have the medium neverfull in the Azure and I absolutely love it. It’s durable and practical and I wouldn’t be without it.
Hi Sophie, Completely AGREE with your opinion on Louise Vuitton bags. I own the Gucci Soho Disco and Chanel double flap caviar and Lady Dior mini and they ae FAB bags! Thank you so much for this vid. Red looks lovely on you.
I just wanna let you know, ever since I began watching your channel, I stopped collecting loads of card holders and wallet on chains and began investing more in small bags (I tend to like my bags more compact)

Sandra R may I ask what you recommend for a 5’5 tall, would you recommend jumbo for everyday as well as evening? Or stick to medium for versatility? Thanks
I’m 5’5 and my medium large is just perfect for everyday and evening. Also keep in mind the weight of Jumbo with your items in it. Both are gorgeous
Sha sut but you’d recommend medium over jumbo? X
I highly recommend the medium flap
Agree on all fronts! What about the LV alma that’s been around for a long while or their bucket bags? Or the Fendi Peekaboo?
I LOVE my soho disco bag! It goes with everything, easy to use, surprisingly fits A LOT inside!💗
What color? I've been thinking of getting one!
k.cristina.k mines black, so it goes with everything!x
These bags are the absolute choices i have been lusting over these years! But I do still love the monogram print.
The gold on your jacket and on your wrists... yes. Love it.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the LV Alma. I thought that was one of your must haves?
So glad you think the Gucci Soho Disco bag is up there as you have now helped me commit to finally getting it.
What a concise video that you succinctly explain the reasons of the classic bags. I love your advice and appreciate it, Sophie 💫❤️
I thought you might have mentioned the Alma too as it is so practical and smart depending on the leather or canvas chosen. I still haven’t got one myself, but this and the Disco are my most coveted at the moment for suiting my lifestyle. You look gorgeous too Sophie. Stay dry in this wet and windy day xxx

True but they need to change the canvas like Fendi did. It's much more improved and updated.

I totally agree about the Kelly, Antigona, Lady Dior and Chanel bags.
Omg your blazer. I love the neverfull mm!! I have in damier ebene and damier azur. Ahhh it’s so practical and fits everything!
You are killing it in that red blazer!
LV pochette metis I think is the best LV bag out and classic even in the monogram doesn’t look too dated and still classy
I agree and I nearly included it in here! I really like the ‘Lock Me’ in plain black xx😘💖

The Antigona has been at the top of my wishlist for years but I still haven't pulled the trigger. Maybe I'll finally do it soon.
LOVE my Antigona, highly recommend!! :)
LV is making it or more difficult to get the canvas bags for the reason you mentioned. They're moving more towards their leather goods.

Dior and Chanel ......my favorites!👜🌟

the loewe puzzle bag is definitely gonna be an iconic bag with its clean lines.
I use TheRealReal, Poshmark, , FASHIONPHILE, and LuisaViaRoma so far . I’m going a little nuts checking, cross checking, looking at retail stores, but right now I have a bookmark on a taupe Gucci Dionysus (all one neutral color, no embroidery, no bamboo) and a SoHo Disco in black . It’s hard to find a Lady Dior, but there are about 4 I’ve seen lately for resale. I think stores agree with you about the Gucci Soho Disco because the price is about the same 1100 USD everywhere. (New it’s 1290 usd). I’m trying not to go nuts but discovering low heeled designer shoes also has my eye. I’m looking at jelly Valentino rockstud flat sandals for less than $250. I’m trying to take this slowly but OMG I want it all.
Luckily, I don’t like bags that flare out (flying buttresses?) like the Antigona and Celine bags. Phew. I have narrowed it down. I’m also enjoying SLGs in mid price nice brands, like Kate Spade and Coach. But Loewe has my interest with the bunny. I want it as a bag charm but for anyone reading this, there are a couple rabbit shaped handbags on those resale sites. I did buy a Louis Vuitton epic hobo style bag before fully understanding that it could be dated. The color and bag style were only around from 2000-2002. I was looking for subtle and I am 57 yo, so maybe I can get away with a mature bag, as well. I see myself more with a Dionysus or even a Sylvie than the Soho Disco - just by my age alone.
Idk if anyone reads my scattered American thoughts. I never expected this to be so absorbing. I love Sophie Shophet and the 3 part closet tour of Sonya Sed (sed is short for...a longer name lol). I’m nearly dizzy from all the coupons, offers, temporary holiday discounts. If you make decent money, SaksFifthAvenue has become far more accessible than I ever saw. I’ll check in after a New Year trip to Las Vegas where I expect the boutiques will be friendly places to shop even to this wannabe. Happy and Merry.
Hollywood Sunset love my Dionysus and Lady Dior, absolutions enjoy their quality and versatility.
Great video. I pretty much agree with everything with the exception of the Neverfull. I think that bag is extremely practical. I use it for work, as a carry on when traveling, and an overnight back. It’s been shoved under airplane seats, placed on the ground, and stuffed it a small drawer at work and it still looks new. However, I do have it in the DE print which IMO is a lot more durable and ages better than monogram. As for it losing its shape when you put it down, that has never happened and I’ve had mine for 2 years now. But I saw your other video when you were discussing why you didn’t like the bag, and you have the largest size. The MM size doesn’t collapse on itself and it still holds a lot. As for security I don’t much worry about that because I mainly carry it on my shoulder. I also use a lot of slg’s with that bag, and put important items in the zipper pocket.
Great video Sophie, thank you! My two favourites are the Chanel classic flap (caviar, black, medium size) and the Gucci disco bag. That red Balmain blazer looks amazing on you!! :)
Excellent video! I totally agree with all of your choices regarding the handbags. You are right on and I appreciate your honesty as well. 👍🏻😁
HI Sophie. I sold all my L.V. Monogram print bags to fund my Chanel collection. I'm so glad I did, now I own 4 classic flaps. There's a very good reason the word Classic is in the title. I'm hoping to find the perfect Tweed flap just like yours.
Thank you for the video, enjoyed it as always. Do you still recommend LV Alma BB?
I have each of the bags you’ve stated exception for the Hermès and Dior. Hermès is our of my budget and I’ll consider the Dior :) thanks for the input

What are your thoughts on the Pochette Métis??? Love your videos! Huge huge supporter of you since day 1!
I'm in love with all my designer bags and each one I bought except for my Chanel classic flap medium,were purchased with the thought of resale value. I own two LV bags and truly I hate both but my husband bought them as gifts. My favourite two bags that I own are my Prada's I just love the leather and feel of them. But to be totally honest I've just recently purchased 5 ( not all at once ) Michael Kors bags. These bags are wonderful for everyday use are great for work or going for coffee and the colours are wonderful it's quite amazing how often I've been complimented on these bags and compared to my high end bags these really are underrated.
Sophie, what do you think about Balenciaga city bags? I'm quite drawn into them but still have mixed feelings. They look bit 90's, but on the other hand are still being continued in different lines and also are quite practical.
LOVE THE BLAZER! Antigona and Chanel classic flap are my faves (although ysl wallet on chain is nice too). Great video.
Great jacket! Looks great on you! I also love that background, those flamingos are fab! :D
The colour of your blazer looks so good on you. 👍
Sophie! That colour suits you so much, love the blazer and the video 💋
Yes, i agree, Chanel flap is still the no. 1 iconic bag
Hello there! since you don't like the LV Neverfull bag, can I please have it. That is my dream bag.
Hello Sophie! That Balmain blazer is stunning on you and if you ever wonder what is your shade of red - that cherry one (your blazer) is it. 😍🌞
Agree with your choice of bags and think the same about LV ones, the logo got killed by fakes
I totally agree with your choices. However if I could get my hands on one bag it would be the Berkin. I love this handbag.
I got my first LV bag (Speedy 30 in DE) 12 years ago and its still a classic and is in excellent condition😀I have the Neverfull PM in DE and just bought the Gucci Soho disco in black. Love classic bags that won’t date🤍
I just bought my first balmain blazer in blue from net-a-porter. I can't wait for it to arrive! I've been wanting one for over two years now
What do you think of the fendi peekaboo bag? X
Hi Sophie. Can you give me your opinion? Please😍! Do you think the Chanel CC Trendy Bowling Bag in the small with top handle and classic chain in black lambskin quilt and gold hardware (its is more mini then small) will look dated as time goes in? I feel the top handle and the gold classic chain will help it stay in trend. Just curious on your thoughts since I just purchased this new about 1 month ago.
You look stunning Sophie!! Thank you so much for the tips!!
Looking for my first big designer handbag . Really love the Lady Dior in black and have been looking onVestiare, some are vintage , what does that mean ? Or is it better to buy new ? With the flap rather than the zip top
Getting ready for my college graduation and just had to stop and watch your video!!!! ❤️ 😂 priorities.....
Can you pls do a video on luxury Tote bags to own..?? I intend to buy one.
Your suggestions are so genuine. Thankyou for inspiring us all xx
Sophie what are your thoughts on other brands that have a barrel bag like the speedy? Do you consider the design or the print that dates a bag (sometimes both)
Red suits you. You look very pretty. Great post!
Sophie can you do a video on items to start a lux collection and your preference? You may have already done this and if so can you tag the video please? Thanks in advance!
Oh thank you for the info on LV Neverfull. I was interested in purchasing one but not anymore.
Hi Sophie! I totally agree with you on these bags. I own a few of them you mentioned. The one thing I struggle with is what you said about the Chanel. I have the jumbo and wished so much I got the medium. I’m petite and it feels so big where as the Lady Dior is perfect even though they are completely different in style. I’m gravitating more to the smaller bags even crossbody. I have thought about selling the Chanel for this reason but I just don’t know if I would regret it. Do you ever think about selling yours or would you just get a medium one day and have both? Thank you so much for the time you put into making these videos. I enjoy your content very much. Hugs and kisses from Atlanta Georgia❌⭕️
Totally agree with every bag you mentioned. You have great taste and style, that Balmain jkt WOW...🤗🇨🇦
I think the celine box (which is the only phoebe-design that’s survived the head designer change) and clasp bag from chloe are on par in “value retention” with the gucci disco- the brands really started (successfully) rebranding themselves around the same time and are priced similarly
I agree I don’t like the LV never full mainly for the security! And YES to the Chanel! That’s my dream bag! Xx
Loved your video! I would definitely include a boy bag! I find them iconic and loved in the social media community :)
That jacket looks amazing on you. Very very special
Hey Sophie love you lots.. just wanted to know your opinion on what size Chanel to get! It’ll be my first one (hopefully not my last) and I’m not sure if I should get a small or medium. I really like the small as it’s versatile to be worn in the evening but most people have medium 🤷🏽♀️ however I’m only willing to pay store price for only one Chanel bag in my life and, if I’m to get others, then they’ll be pre-loved so I want to make this first buy count ha!
It's so interesting how, since I've started watching your videos, my perspective on luxury items has changed. For example, I've come from rather little money and so I would normally be beyond ecstatic to purchase a Valentino bag, but without having any mindfulness as to resale value. Now as someone who in 2-3 years will be able to purchase some of these items, I'm definitely more cautious of "splurging" on a $400 bag when if I hold out for maybe a year or two, I'd be able to purchase something that I not only love but could re-sell if I needed or wanted to. It's one thing to have a standard investment portfolio, but one of the most important parts of investing is the diversity of your assets. Hermes being an excellent example that you mentioned.
Loveing the list 💪🏽 i would maybe add celine box bag and hermes constance for the same reasons you mention the others: classic, they been here for ever, they going up and up in price...and they are simply stuning if you ask me 😄
What are your thoughts on the Fendi Peekaboo? Fendi has made it their flagship bag and it's been around for a while.
Hi Sophie
I love your videos!
What do you think about bulgari serpenti forever bags?
mona sinha lovely bags but trendy personally
Red double flap Chanel my all time fav
I would love to know what you think of the YSL loulou bag ? Is it worth buying ?
The jewelry was the first thing I noticed! Super cute, great job!
A client just told me a story about her wallet getting stolen out of her Never Full... The Goyard version that zips shut is more popular here in SF, CA I think for that reason...
Definitely classic flap Chanel in red is my personal favorite.
Ok, am I the only one who hates lady dior? 😂 I find it to square-y and impractical. I am also not a fan of Chanel since the prices have skyrocketed and the quality went down. Out of all of them, the gucci soho disco is a winner for me, hope I will find the colour I am looking for. P.s. you look great, the blazer looks awesome on you
Laiila good points
Agree, agree, agree. I am 5'10" and the Lady Dior looks like I stole a doll's bag.
I agree re the lady Dior. The handles seem very impractical. Being based in Australia, I need to be able to fit sunglasses and the case in my handbag!!
@@cathi6520 yeah I prefer the diorama
Yea the lady dior is not practical looks good for pictures
How about ysl crossbody bag. What will you recommend?
Hey Sophie, what are your thoughts on the celine nano luggage bags, or just the luggage collection in general. I think those are a staple/classic bag but would love to hear your thoughts
Hello lovely Leah! I think they’re so cute and I’m loving the new direction Celine are going in now, bringing back the old logo etc. I think they’re so chic 👍xx
@@SophieShohetOfficial oh my gosh thank you so much for your reply ☺I agree, I was curious as I've never heard you mention that particular bag. I love your videos you're wonderful!
@@leah.146 You’re so lovely Leah! And no worries, I love replying to you all ☺️❤️xx
Sophie I definitely agree with all of these bags! I love all of them! I really to want to givenchy antigona bag in my collection hopefully sometime next year 😁
How about Alma BB? Do you think it will stay around for long like speedy or neverfull?
Agnieszka Osowska maybe, I’d give it more time to see if it’s a popular trend bag or not
What do you think of the Gucci Marmont Camera bag?? Super trendy? I was thinking about getting it as my first Gucci but started hearing how super trendy it is and afraid of it getting dated so quickly. TIA!
Gorgeous! And I never get tired of you recommending the Lady Dior 🎀
i wonder should I buy the chanel in gold or silver hardware?
I, for one, love the LV monogram. I don't think it looks dated at all, I think it's classy and classic. Yes, the counterfeit market is huge on it, but so it is on Chanel and Hermes.
