I would keep the larger bucket basket. It’s quite lovely as well as being more usable and more classic. The other one is “cute” but definitely a trend look. Classic will last forever. Also I prefer the second sandal.
Hi Sarah, thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts - I'm definitely trying to go for more classic and useable items in my wardrobe so your feedback certainly helps! ❤ Happy Sunday
I think I may have the less popular opinion, but here goes: I like the first basket bag for you because it is so unique and it looks like YOU! It seems to me that of the two bags, it would be more secure in Paris, easier as a crossbody. I prefer the sandal with the heel, partly because of the heel. The walkable heel seems more versatile, as well as giving you additional height 😊 Have a fabulous week Lauren 💕
Hi Cathy, I love that you shared what you honestly thought so a huge thanks to you! 💯I must admit that a crossbody is my preferred style of bag here in Paris - and any height is greatly appreciated too, so you have a great perspective ❤ Thanks again and hope you're having a great week 😘
Thank you for the feedback on the sandals, and on the bag as well, I really appreciate it. It's a tough choice between the two and I think the first one is classic and wouldn't look dated like you mentioned 💯 Hope you're having a great week!
It's a tough choice as they're both so lovely 😍 Thanks for sharing, your idea of the embroidered basket bag is combining the best of both into one, brilliant!
All items are lovely, would go for the classic bucket bag for sure and the second pair of sandals. It is a tough choice though!!!! Love the beautiful packaging of Sezane as well! The cotton bag is so nice to have and the blue and white paperbag is just so beautiful…
Hi Annette, thank you and also for sharing your recommendations! It was a tough choice and they're similar yet unique 😉 And yes I agree with you, the packaging and tote are lovely too! ❤
Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts ❤ That's a 6th vote for the larger bag and a vote for the Rosa sandals - they were slightly more comfy than the other pair! Wishing you a lovely Sunday 😘
The larger bag for sure especially as you travel a lot on the metro where there are gangs of pickpockets. Also like the second pair of sandals. Love your content!
Everything is so lovely! I’ve had those Natacha sandals on my wishlist and they just never come back in my size. Keeping my fingers crossed they do before summer hits in Sydney. 😊 Love the larger basket bag as well.
Hi Kylie, thanks so much for making the time to message, it's lovely to hear from you! Ah I completely understand as that happened with me twice with the Natacha sandals these past 2 months, had to wait until they restocked my size 😉 I think both would be perfect for summer in gorgeous Sydney - I'll be bringing the items I keep when I head back to Sydney for holidays soon! Hope you have a lovely new week ahead!
I have a few pairs of Sézane’s shoes, I have bad feet and they have been such good quality leather that they have stretched to conform to my foot, no pain. Looking forward to the Gaala video
Best RUclipsr Ever!!! And Lauren Keep making like this only videos💗✨🥹you are looking very very pretty and I will always support your channel so so so much
I think that Your choice with the sandals and the second of these bags is very well; and also both items go very well together. Like for summer holidays and weekend walks, eventually near or even at a beach. The other ("daisy") bag is lovely too and goes well with these outfit examples. Maybe the wider bag is just a bit simpler to handle and great it`s style. Have a wonderful new week Dear Lauren 🤗🐚🌹
Hi there Marcel, thanks so much for making the time to watch and comment with your thoughts, I appreciate it 😊 I think you're right and these will also work wonderfully for holidays too! Wishing you a lovely new week ahead 😘
I would definitely go with the larger basket bag! The typical "French girl" basket bag is a classic. The smaller one is cute but surely not as practical, especially since the bigger one has the two strap options. Both styles of sandals are beautiful and match the bag nicely, too. If you prefer the second pair, you should keep those. Best wishes!
Hi Linda, thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! I think you're right that the larger bag is more practical 🥰 and it's great to have different strap options! Wishing you a wonderful new week ahead 😊
Hi Lauren, I love the basket bag, it's timeless and it looks great. You should keep it. I have the Natacha sandals in gold. The Rosa sandals are also very nice, but the Natasha ones look better on my feet. I which you a very nice Sunday evening and a very nice week. Lots of love from Germany.
Hi Susanna, hope you are keeping well and enjoying a lovely weekend over in Germany, not too far from where I am! It's great to hear your thoughts and that's 5 votes for the basket bag now ❤ It's good to hear you have the same sandals too, did you have any issues when first wearing them? I've only worn them in my apartment so far to try them on....
@@LaurenGraceHardingDear Lauren, sorry for my late response, I had to go to the hospital with my son who broke his arm… Yes, the Natasha sandals are a bit tight at the beginning, but once you have walked a bit in them, they get wider. Just like the Anja ballerinas. Lots of love from Germany ❤❤❤ Unfortunately it is raining today…
Hi Susanna, I'm sorry to hear that, how is your son doing? Is he still in the hospital? Hope he can recover well, I'm sure you will be looking after him ❤ That's great feedback to hear, I wore the Natacha sandals yesterday for the first time outside the apartment and they did feel a bit tight around the toes as I was walking so looking forward to them stretching out! Sending you a hug from France, we had rain here today - hopefully next week the sunshine will return to us 🌞
I would recommend the Justine bag as it is a classic and unlikely to make it to the archives (sale). The Farrow bag, while adorable is more niche and therefore more likely to make it into the sale. I agree with you about the Natacha sandals. I am also petite and noticed how well it lengthened the leg. But to be honest all of your selections were lovely.
Hi Laura, thanks so much for making the time to watch and share your thoughts, it means a lot to me ❤ I like how you thought of whether a particular bag is likely to go into the archives (sales), this is something I hadn't honestly considered! And great to hear your thoughts on the sandals as well 🙏 Wishing you a lovely Sunday 😘
I enjoy your reviews very much . I feel like I’m seeing the items in person because you give such good details . I had the Farrow raffia bag and returned it because of the closure . I liked the bag but the leather tie was so stiff it was not going to be convenient to open and close several times a day . I returned it and got the Justin basket bag in the heritage leather and love it ! I bought a French market basket on Etsy and it was to course/rough to wear against my cloths . I like both pairs of shoes I would keep the low vamp ones in heritage leather and maybe get the other style in a fun color 😊I have the Paula babies on my radar for my next purchase in black and the black /ecru color . BTW I love the little tea dress you are wearing , was there a link for it ? It is so feminine and summery looking .
Hi Linda, happy Sunday to you! Thanks so much for the feedback 🙏 It's interesting to learn about why you returned the Farrow bag and how you love the Justine bag! Thanks also for your thoughts on the sandals, I agree the low vamp would look much better and to get the other ones in a fun colour, that's a good idea! I think the Paula babies in black would be a classic choice ❤ With the dress, this is from Gaala Paris (my next video will be on this brand in a few days)! I linked it in the description box below (non-affiliate link)
Well this quite a conundrum what to keep, I say item 2 and item 4. The second bag is more better and spacious and definitely more you than the small bag with the string that could be fumbling. Item 4 can be comfortable for you . I say keep 2 and 4,while 1 and 3 back to the shelf 😂. Hope your Sunday is going well
Hi Irvin, yes it is a conundrum but certainly a fun one! 🙂 Thanks heaps for sharing your thoughts - we have four votes now for that bag and two for the second pair of sandals ❤ Happy weekend to you!
I would buy a more classic bag. Raffia is just the trend at the moment. Neither would be my choice unless the larger one is used for the beach but I’m sure that’s not what you purchased it for.
Hi there, thank you for making the time to share your thoughts! You're right, I didn't purchase the larger one for the beach, although I could fit a towel and sunscreen in there... I think raffia is certainly more of a summer trend so these aren't bags I would choose for the other seasons - but having said that I was after a raffia bag specifically for summer ❤ appreciate your feedback on this and you can never go wrong with a classic bag
I am glad that you did this video since you have tried on the two tan sandals that I am eyeing on ❤. (Side note I don’t understand why people refer Oran as a sandal even if they are flip flops or rather slippers - Santorini is the sandal version- don’t get it personal). Both of the raffia bags are beautiful but I think you made a better choice as considering the usability of Justine (it was lovely to hear its English pronunciation ❤)
I'm happy to hear that - have you come closer to deciding upon which sandals you're going to purchase? You make a great point - I think they could possibly also be referred to as "slides". Love hearing your feedback on the bag too, thank you! Are you French? I'm glad you liked my pronunciation 😉
@@LaurenGraceHarding I am waiting for Natacha sandals to be back in stock . Unfortunately I am not French just did my Master in Paris in French - just a Dalf C1 holder from Hungary. (But actively tour guiding in French and English in Budapest- so if you visit drop me a message and I would be glad to show you around 💕)
I hope they come back in stock soon - I had to put an alert on twice for the Natacha sandals... I love how you say "just a DALF C1 holder from Hungary" DALF C1 is a very high level, you should be proud as that's a lot of work and effort to reach this level! ❤ Thank you for the offer, I'd love to visit Budapest one day so will certainly reach out to you once I have a trip planned!
I gave up on bucket bags in the 1990s back when they were very trendy: they’re way too annoying. I’ve never fallen for them again no matter how cute they can be.
I love Sezane, own some of their clothes and have a long wish list from them. However, I would not keep any of these items as I think they are not a good value for the money. I wouldn’t buy their shoes mostly because despite the basic or unpractical design (apart from Paula babies), they are quite uncomfortable. I would rather opt for a shoe from an actual shoe company. As for raffia bags, again I think they are not that practical and mostly limited to a casual summer look. For that price point there are much better and versatile alternatives. Or if you are really going for that style, much cheaper options. With this being said, if I really had to choose between these, I would go for the raffia tote. I love the embroidery on the bucket but I really hate the bucket design and practicality in general.
Hi Laura, hope you're well and thanks for sharing your thoughts! It's interesting to hear a different perspective to mine and others. Wishing you a lovely weekend ❤
Such difficult choices Lauren 🫣I have the raffia Farrow bag in the plain version. I purchased it this year and I love using it. That being said, I tried the smaller Justine bag and returned it because it was much too small. The Justine is on my wish list only I thought it might be too big for my petite frame. Seeing it on you makes me realise that it’s a perfect bag. I would lean towards keeping the Justine. For the sandals, the Natacha are definitely more flattering on the leg. I do think I would keep them and add the Rosa sandals in gold to a wish list 😊
Hi lovely Cristina, happy Sunday to you! Yes, it is difficult when each piece is so unique and lovely 😍 It's interesting to hear about your experiences with the Farrow bag and the smaller Justine bag - I felt the small size wouldn't be right for me so that's why I tried out the medium size. I feel the maxi size would be far too large for us petites! Thank you for the feedback on the sandals as well, I really appreciate it - any extra visual lengthening is a plus for a petite 😉
I would keep the larger bucket basket. It’s quite lovely as well as being more usable and more classic. The other one is “cute” but definitely a trend look. Classic will last forever. Also I prefer the second sandal.
Hi Sarah, thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts - I'm definitely trying to go for more classic and useable items in my wardrobe so your feedback certainly helps! ❤ Happy Sunday

Hi Cathy, I love that you shared what you honestly thought so a huge thanks to you! 💯I must admit that a crossbody is my preferred style of bag here in Paris - and any height is greatly appreciated too, so you have a great perspective ❤ Thanks again and hope you're having a great week 😘
That first sandal is absolutely perfect. It will never look dated. I also love the second sandal. You cant go wrong with either one.
Thank you for the feedback on the sandals, and on the bag as well, I really appreciate it. It's a tough choice between the two and I think the first one is classic and wouldn't look dated like you mentioned 💯 Hope you're having a great week!
I think the second bag is more practical but I adore the embroidery on the bucket bag so much. I’d get the embroidered versions of the bigger bag :)

Hi lovely, that's amazing feedback and gives me hope as the true test is how the wear outside the apartment! Thanks so much ❤
I also bought the Rosa sandals and absolutely love them! I tried the Natacha and I prefer the shape on my feet but they were not as comfy as the Rosa
Hi there, thank you for sharing your experience with the sandals, great to hear your thoughts on these ones! ❤ Did you get the Rosa in tan or gold?
@@LaurenGraceHarding i went with the brown but I might try the Natacha again in gold as they really are a lovely shape
