Also I found it very interesting how Sophie had no idea that Coach has been THAT GIRL for a minute now! She probably doesn’t consume fashion content that isn’t pertaining to those high end premium designers because so many of us had share with her that the Coach community is huge and growing!
To me anyone downplaying a bag due to its costs isn’t a real fashionista, people with great style don’t just throw high end names together they thrift they find unique pieces of clothes that all come together to embody a sense of style
So many people and larger influencers have talked about Coach and how theyve just been pummelling the competition. I was just like Sophie sweetie no 🤧😂 Im also really excited to be apart of the new wave of Coach lovers, I feel like Ive been missing out and I got alot of catching up to do! 😂
I hadn't looked at Coach in years but the Rogue did it for me, the 1941 collection is beautiful. I like classic pretty with no label listed and the leather is so soft
Sophie Shohet actually owns, and has given praise to her Coach bags. She does consider them to be a luxury. Seems like people are haters when they’re jealous.
To me luxury means you’re able to buy a bag period (I own both spectrums). It’s a luxury to be able to afford any kind of $ on a leather or canvas handbag. I guess it’s relative. There’s people out there that can’t afford a bag at all. I care for my Coach’s and TB’s the same way I care for my LVs, Goyard and other brands.
People are so obsessed with high end luxury bags these days that’s it’s really turned me off. We all know that when you’re buying high end luxury you’re mainly paying for the brand, not the quality. I will always prefer contemporary due to the excellent quality and reasonable prices.
Some of the high end bags look like knock offs or fakes, which makes it even worse 💀 Its also nice knowing with contemporary you can find a great bag that most people dont have.
@@scottiliciousmcfabulous It's all the knock offs I see at brunch always ysl, Gucci, Chanel and LV that are tacky to me. Even though some are cute. I wish ladies would try different brands like Goyard and Loewe just so I can see something different. Fashion is style not price point
@@joypeaceandhappiness1501 I love both high end and Contemporary. But true with how with high end everyone buys the same bags. As you say there are tones of different ones but everyone buys same bags. With contemporary there is not one clear popular one except for the lepilage by long champ. But when you buy contemporary what you choose will be something really different than someone else’s choice.
The ridiculous price of high end luxury is mainly for exclusivity. Rich people want some things only to themselves. If you cant afford it, dont be mad at people who can. I'm sure if you had the money, you would buy those things as well.
Don’t forget that there are also very rich people that wouldn’t ever buy a $10,000 purse. They’d rather buy shit they actually need or invest it into index funds lol. PS I love your Coach Willis and that tiny grandfather clock. So cute!!!
Funny to think that the uber rich could care less about a Chanel Classic Flap. They counting their money while we simple folk are arguing about purses 😂🙈 and thank you hun, Im glad you love it! 🥰
My in laws are in the mining industry and the most well off people I know. My mother in law is very stylish and could buy whatever. She’s a loyal coach customer, even outlet coach. She doesn’t like wasting money and to her it’s unimportant, she just wants a pretty bag, lol.
Yasss!! Sometimes I think the people paying exorbitant prices are the suckers, they’re paying waaayyy beyond the basic intrinsic value of the materials and craftsmanship, they’re paying a very rich company some very hard earned money to walk around and do their marketing and branding for them.
I wish there was a way to like this video multiple times! I agree with you completely. They are all luxury. There are different price points within luxury of course, but luxury is defined as “a state of great comfort”. So if it makes you feel good and you are comfortable dropping money on it, it’s luxury. I think one thing people need to remember is that all of these Chanel/Louis Vuitton/ Hermes (etc.) bags that we see these so called “influencers” and wannabes carrying/showing are FREQUENTLY borrowed, rented, and/or straight up counterfeit. Everyone should just spend what they can afford on whatever brings them joy and not worry about labels. And the minute I see or hear someone putting someone down with comments like, “You can’t afford real luxury.” etc, I know they’re not only a stuck up snob, but they have ZERO class. Love you! 😘
Alot of people and fans of influencers dont realize how lucrative that top spot is. People will buy branded SHOPPING bags and have 10+ of these bags in a photo but in reality, they only got one of those bags with a sweater in it. Its really strange what people will do. But Im so glad you agree hun, you’re the best! 🥰 Love you so much!!💛💙💚
Nobody needs a designer brand bag or a $500 handbag to carry whatever. You can carry all your things with a $20 synthetic handbag from H&M. From the point that you buy & spend a couple hundreds of dollars on an item that you DON’T NEED, but still you want to for your pleasure, to feel comfortable, to create an identity for yourself, THIS IS LUXURY. Anybody that says otherwise is so f*cking trapped into a f*cking snobbish bubble to think that if the worker class can have, then it’s not luxury at all. It is luxury because nobody needs a designer brand item to live but they still choose to buy it because they want it and they like it. Simple as that. Great video!
Luxury is subjective, having a warm bed to sleep at night and food on your plate everyday is luxury for many. I have louis vuitton and Gucci bags and I have coach and Michael kors, and honestly the ones I have are all the same quality. My nolita 19 is better quality than my mini pochette accessories 😂 and my Rowan is on pair with my speedy 25, but with much better hardware, idk what is up with that louis vuitton hardware. I buy bags for myself and not to impress others so I don't care if snob people think coach is not luxury nor if bitter people assume all neverfulls are fake 🤷♀️
I legit saw your comment under one of those videos and immediately subscribed to your channel! Just like you said luxury is such a subjective term and those who only consider extremely high end designers luxury completely show their elitist character! I have been absolutely enjoying contemporary luxury brands which Is what I usually call Marc Jacobs, Coach, and other brands in that arena. I think some get caught up on only recognizing the heritage houses brands as luxury which is a shame.
I really appreciate that Lex! 😁💛 There are so many wonderful brands in the contemporary market that can easily put to rest some of these higher end brands. Some people need to get over a label and have some more fun! 😂
There’s no line between contemporary and luxury, nope nada. A luxury in life is going down the street to eat a decent meal IMO. Great video!! I love a mix of brands. I get just as much joy from my Longchamp bags as I do my LV bags! And ALL of my “luxury” bags were bought pre-loved which I’m so proud about
Yes I totally agree with you on these RUclipsrs who make videos saying MK, Coach, Marc Jacobs etc. is not luxury, it honestly makes me cringe because just like you said it almost seems like a backhanded snobby comment…like why do you need to make a video on these brands if you don’t even own any of it? And the very definition of luxury is extravagant living so by that definition, anyone living in a Western society is living a life of luxury and anything that we purchase that is not basic food or clothing, is luxurious because at the end of the day the majority of people around the world couldn’t even afford most of the stuff we own.
Ive had to just unsubscribe from people because the elitist type of attitude just loves to peer through no matter how hard they try to hide it. And exactly, the way we get to live is based upon the foundation of luxury. Much love to you! 💛
I have both high end and entry level luxury bags (for me Michael Kors, Coach, Kate Spade, Marc Jacobs, Tory Burch, Dooney and Bourke ARE LUXURY bags). They are all gorgeous and I love them all. The problem with high end is that they never come with anything interesting. Chanel, Hermes and LV sell the same designs from years! They only change colors/canvas or add some decoration. While Coach, MC and the other come with new designs every so often. That's why, when I have the chance, I always have a look at their shops. Plus, if someone is not desperate to have it straight away, always can buy it with a good discount. For me the price/quality ratio is much better.
I agree , I would rather have a Dooney & Bourke or Michael Kors Bag because they are actually attainable. When i see people with LV or Gucci tbh i assume they are fakes . I know alot of other people feel the same so why waste the money on those bags when most people are gonna assume they are fake anyway lol
Same, and i have nothing against ppl who enjoy fake bags, but there is always that assumption when it comes to LV canvas. I'd rather get good quality MK or Coach because they're great
Because I don’t care what most people think about my bags and their authenticity. I notice the details (most people don’t) and I appreciate the way the bag looks and have the money. I’ll happily wear bags of all price points provided I like them and can afford them. Have no interest in fakes or buying stuff to flex and don’t care how much my friends bags cost nor does my expensive bag mean I’m better than them. It’s just a bag :)
Having more than one handbag is a luxury! I didn't know handbag snobs existed. I remember back when I didn't have much and would wear a bag until the handles fell off.
I agree with you so much. Personally, even if I had the money I wouldn't buy Chanel or Hermès, it's just not my style. Some Coach or MK bags look way better (style and even quality) to me, and I'm sure can hold as long as a Chanel with the same use. The only higher luxury bags I've had my eyes on are the toy and small loulous from YSL. Apart from that, my eyes are only on Coach, MK, Rebecca Minkoff, Coccinelle, Longchamp... They're just 👌 And yh, I see so many people wearing "LV/Chanel/YSL" out there and I'm just wondering if they are fake or not.
I would find it so difficult buying a 5-10k purse knowing good and well that I love other bag brands that offer just as good quality and different designs. And agreed, cant tell reals from fakes anymore, its so disappointing 🤧
Luxury is spending time with the ones you love. Owning land and a home etc. Bags r to put you sh*t in. As much as we love and enjoy them they’re not that important lol
This is such a great video!I do think that contemporary designers are luxury, even though the price is not as high as the "elite designers" they still have amazing quality and craftsmanship, and just like you mentioned $500 is still a lot of money. I have a vintage Chanel that I got at a pretty good deal second hand and I do love it but I feel like my coach tabby in wine is just as nice.
I appreciate that Erica! And Im so happy you found a good deal on a vintage Chanel. 😍 Hope one day to add one to my collection as well, but my Tabby’s will always be some of my favourites! 💛
It appears some people are new to the luxury market. Thirty years ago my grandmother bought her Coach bags from the same department store she bought her Louis Vuitton and the price difference was only a couple hundred. Even funnier is that she can still buy them in the same department store but the price difference is laughable to her because the quality isn't worth the mark up.
This video is everything!!! I agree with everything you said. I live in Southern Cali and I refuse to pay for a purse that’s more than my mortgage. I own mid-tier brands like coach, Mk and similar and they are luxury to me. Also, I don’t want a bag I’ll be scared to wear.
I agree with you , every time I go out with my friends ,almost everyone have the same channel bag.. it makes me not want one at all… I don’t want to be the same or a follower just bc you want to look cool.. there is nothing special on that.. that’s my opinion.
I always wonder how long a brand needs to be around before they stop being considered “contemporary.” Coach has been around for more than 80 years at this point. That’s older than Dior, Saint Laurent, Givenchy… or is it just a matter of price?
I currently live in the Philippines but we'll be flying back to the US in a couple days since I graduated nursing school. Honestly, I get impressed when people here wear Coach, Kate Spade, MK, and Marc Jacobs cos honeyyyy, convert those dollar prices to philippine peso? You can pay one to two month's worth of rent here. I think it's such a western mentality that the only "acceptible" bags out there are Hermes, Chanel, LV, YSL etc. Like girl if I see my peers in college here rock her Coach bag, I already know she comes from money or at least can afford it. I would even see friends on instagram flex Aldo or Charles and Keith. I have another friend who's currently in law school rn and she's so proud with her first luxury handbag purchase which was Marc Jacobs. When you're a college student here and own the low end luxury handbags, you're considered a big time lol. Ugh Scott I'm praying someday you'll blow up on YT cos your content is relatable!
I am a lover of all bags.. luxury snobs love that “made in Italy” stamp... but many times they are only finished in Italy. Materials are usually not the best either or the same as many cheaper brands. Coach has made me very happy, but so has LV. At the end we pay for that stupid LV logo lool
Oh my goodness I genuinely can’t agree more! Literally you spoke my heart out and honestly speaking whenever these RUclipsrs classify theM as non luxury etc it feels disrespectful and sometimes one can also loose their self steem by not using it :( these are just shitty mindset unfortunately even I also think sometimes that what ppl will think if I wear these by seeing them in comments. But a big thank you to you that you made this video and I feel more happy after watching it :)) God bless you
100% agree!! I love watching your videos because you’re so real and unafraid to share your opinion! I suspect a lot of high-end luxury RUclipsrs are around other people with a lot of money and don’t really interact with working/middle class people who have a limited budget for luxuries. I stopped watching them cause it got so cringey. Tbh most people I know would consider a $300-500 Coach purse extremely expensive. I feel like a million bucks walking around with one. And really. I don’t know that I could ever spend $10K in a purse even if I had the means...
I just discovered you this week and instantly subscribed.. your vibe is EVERYTHING 👏👏👏 But this video right here, I have fallen in love. You are real and you are fierce and you are beautiful🐯 My rainbow Coach Court is getting delivered tomorrow and, Sis, I am feeling LUX AF👑 And you KNOW I scored that new baby with deep discounts on the Outlet🫰🏽Even treating myself to the Mickey Mouse X Keith Haring bag charm. Keep up the positive vibes. You are gorgeous!!
Yes I saw that but even Sophie said love coach but still LV has got down I love coach we need to be respectful to everyone I will be coach man untill dealth
I agree with this so much! I am so glad I found your channel, I am not the richest person so I have been looking for reviews on affordable but good quality handbags and stumbled across your videos! Thank you for being such a positive person about this topic. Also, would you do an affordable handbag video? I literally know nothing 😂
I could most definitely do an affordable handbag video 😁 especially with all the crazy price increases going on lately! So happy you are enjoying everything 🥰
Check out Ciara O’Doherty on for a luxury RUclipsr who isn’t a snob. Really stylish but down to earth. She owns the big brand bags but also has twoTabby bags that she LOVES and did a couple of videos where she agreed that Coach is luxury quality.
If I wanted to, I could buy a coach bag every month but do I do that? No! I loved coach for about a year now and started getting into Polene and Tory Burch. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but I ignore those who say “coach bags are rubbish or cheap”. I work hard for my money and I’ll spend how I feel!
@@scottiliciousmcfabulous I’ve actually only recently been looking at Tory Burch - I never really noticed him before. The Coach store in London is opposite the Tory Burch one so I’ll have to pop in sometime and check it out
I like you! Im a MK lover and i started to see TikTok’s about MK is so cheap and don’t date girls that wears MK I was feeling so bad because I think is BS !
I love Michael Kors and Kate Spade. Their SLG’s, bags, everything. I had a Michael Kors wallet I used for 8 years and I’ve used and abused that thing every single day, but it doesn’t look scratched up, dirty or chipped. It really speaks to the quality of the brand if you can use a wallet for 8 years however you like and it doesn’t look chewed up or discolored. And the best part is? I didn’t have to pay $500-$2000 for it.
They aren’t my favourite bags, I find the price per value in the department store bags to be lacking. But I have heard really good things about the actual Karl Lagerfeld Boutiques. Id love to visit one
It’s your opinion or no opinion AT ALL!!! Say it louder for the people in back sis!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 People are so tone deaf!!!!! Having air conditioner is a luxury! Being able to choose and afford fast food is a fucking luxury!! Being able to afford makeup is a luxury!! Having access to good and affordable healthcare is a luxury!! People have lost their damn minds and lost touch with reality!!
I think luxury is subjective. I own Hermes, Goyard, Loewe etc… I also own Marc Jacobs, APC, and Coach. TBH I don’t think Michael Kors is luxury at this point, it’s not quality in general. That’s not to say MK doesn’t have any luxury pieces, they do, but overal as a brand whole, no. To me quality has to be there regardless of the price. Chanel is a good example also, I only have 2 Chanel bags left because I refuse to pay exorbitant prices for poorly made items with subpar materials. Again it’s all subjective. As far as Sophie Shohet she actually does a lot of videos about more affordable brands that are luxury. She owns and has given praise to several Coach bags.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏. I highly agree with you, whatever I spend my money on that I've earned makes me feel good then it is worth it to me. Thank you - Christina Riggs-Ross
I think, if you start looking at the resale value of a luxury bag, then you just got off the bandwagon of girls with luxury bags. You are now under the bandwagon of girls with investment bags. Luxury is buying something you enjoy, regardless of resale value, coz you are buying it for yourself to enjoy. You are right, investment and luxury are two different stories. I honestly feel that those buying bags for their own enjoyment is doing luxury. Those thinking of it’s resale value is doing practicality, for which the enjoyment of choosing is quelched.
A true fahsionista is like Patricia Field a costume designer famously known with her work in Sex and the City. She mix and match from high end designer brands to mid range to thrift items and it works...
Facts because I will rather buy a bag that fits my style and has a great quality for a lower price then a name that I personally don't find unique or beautiful and is over worn where there are more fakes of it on the market then real ones When someone walked around with a coach there's a higher chance of it being real then a chanel
There are lots of brands like the teddy Blake bag for example are made better than those aka luxury bags. Those folks that buy the LV bags probably spent their rent money on it and eating cup of noodles. While I spend on teddy Blake, coach and get the wallet to put my extra cash in that bag and go out to eat a steak then baby let me the mid luxury for ever!👩🏾
This attitude is so…ick. Most people with LV bags would never judge other people who don’t have LV bags. I love everything from Chanel to Tory Burch and I’m not eating ramen or putting down people I don’t know based on their purchases.
I remember in middle school when girls had MK bags. To me I thought they were the same price as an LV bag at that time not knowing. I thought I would never be able to afford an MK bag.
exactly the same I think. I have a hard time earning the money I spend on my MK bags. they are a mega luxury for me. I'm in love with you by the way I love you.
3:57 that’s exactly my view as a luxury snob. contemporary brands are nice, but compared to Chanel, Gucci, LV, Goyard, they’re hot garbage. Dassit, dassall
Different bags for different folks. I’m admittedly a social climber and I’ve gotten far from where I once was. MK & Coach don’t fit in to where I live, eat, play or shop. From a purely fashion viewpoint, I know These contemporary brands have great styles and great quality, but from a social status viewpoint, they lower the perceived economic status of the person wearing them and that’s a fact. I can’t even dress, I have no style for real I’ve never been good at putting outfits together. Some people are into bags for aesthetics and others are into them as a display of wealth and both are legitimate. I feel like your channel is about to blow up, you’re watchable and fun.
PREACH!!! I loved this video! I absolutely agree with you, and oh my did I enjoy the call outs. Honestly, Sophie does not come across as super judgmental to me, but oh goodness Anna Bey is so frightfully vulgar with her plethora of how to be "classy" videos. Bey and her international "finishing school" seem so sus. She gives off major phony, wannabe Delvey vibes. It is rather comical.

cmon now Coach is one of my all time favorite brands 🔥💕 their new purses are such of high quality im obsessed 🥰
This is such a great video!I do think that contemporary designers are luxury, even though the price is not as high as the "elite designers" they still have amazing quality and craftsmanship, and just like you mentioned $500 is still a lot of money. I have a vintage Chanel that I got at a pretty good deal second hand and I do love it but I feel like my coach tabby in wine is just as nice.
I appreciate that Erica! And Im so happy you found a good deal on a vintage Chanel. 😍 Hope one day to add one to my collection as well, but my Tabby’s will always be some of my favourites! 💛
It appears some people are new to the luxury market. Thirty years ago my grandmother bought her Coach bags from the same department store she bought her Louis Vuitton and the price difference was only a couple hundred. Even funnier is that she can still buy them in the same department store but the price difference is laughable to her because the quality isn't worth the mark up.
So true!!! A bag should not define how luxury you feel about yourself.
Omg, I loved your rant 😂😂❤️
It had to be said! 😂🙈
I think this video humbled many people, and for that I thank u
Agree with you. I love Coach and smaller brands such as Goforthgoods, Coastal Hillbilly, Portland Leather, etc. High quality leather and hand made.
This video is everything!!! I agree with everything you said. I live in Southern Cali and I refuse to pay for a purse that’s more than my mortgage. I own mid-tier brands like coach, Mk and similar and they are luxury to me. Also, I don’t want a bag I’ll be scared to wear.
Just buy something that "speaks to you".
I agree with you , every time I go out with my friends ,almost everyone have the same channel bag.. it makes me not want one at all… I don’t want to be the same or a follower just bc you want to look cool.. there is nothing special on that.. that’s my opinion.
I always wonder how long a brand needs to be around before they stop being considered “contemporary.” Coach has been around for more than 80 years at this point. That’s older than Dior, Saint Laurent, Givenchy… or is it just a matter of price?
Wait they have to takes years to become luxury
I currently live in the Philippines but we'll be flying back to the US in a couple days since I graduated nursing school. Honestly, I get impressed when people here wear Coach, Kate Spade, MK, and Marc Jacobs cos honeyyyy, convert those dollar prices to philippine peso? You can pay one to two month's worth of rent here. I think it's such a western mentality that the only "acceptible" bags out there are Hermes, Chanel, LV, YSL etc. Like girl if I see my peers in college here rock her Coach bag, I already know she comes from money or at least can afford it. I would even see friends on instagram flex Aldo or Charles and Keith. I have another friend who's currently in law school rn and she's so proud with her first luxury handbag purchase which was Marc Jacobs. When you're a college student here and own the low end luxury handbags, you're considered a big time lol. Ugh Scott I'm praying someday you'll blow up on YT cos your content is relatable!
I loved reading your take on this! Learned a little bit about the Philippines too! 😁 I really appreciate the comment, much love to you!
@@scottiliciousmcfabulous and I appreciate your thoughtful replies🥰
Very well said!!! Thank you for this video! Love it & I love your personality! 🥰 God bless you always and more power!💕💕💕
Thank you hun! 🥰 and thank you for always being so kind here, its very appreciated 💛💛
🥰💕💖
You are a breath of fresh air. Best, Jane
This Video is EVERYTHING! 💖⭐️✨
You said everything that needed to be said!!!
Your honesty is another level...congrats on tht❤
I am a lover of all bags.. luxury snobs love that “made in Italy” stamp... but many times they are only finished in Italy. Materials are usually not the best either or the same as many cheaper brands. Coach has made me very happy, but so has LV. At the end we pay for that stupid LV logo lool
Yes, Ive heard of Gucci being infamous for having the bags ASSEMBLED in Italy. Not made in Italy. 😂💀
So glad you made this video I absolutely love Marc Jacobs and Michael kors honestly my faves….
Yes!!! I agree! No matter 5000$ or 500$, Im paying for a branded name! there are just tiers, thats all.
Oh my goodness I genuinely can’t agree more! Literally you spoke my heart out and honestly speaking whenever these RUclipsrs classify theM as non luxury etc it feels disrespectful and sometimes one can also loose their self steem by not using it :( these are just shitty mindset unfortunately even I also think sometimes that what ppl will think if I wear these by seeing them in comments. But a big thank you to you that you made this video and I feel more happy after watching it :)) God bless you
100% agree!! I love watching your videos because you’re so real and unafraid to share your opinion!
I suspect a lot of high-end luxury RUclipsrs are around other people with a lot of money and don’t really interact with working/middle class people who have a limited budget for luxuries. I stopped watching them cause it got so cringey.
Tbh most people I know would consider a $300-500 Coach purse extremely expensive. I feel like a million bucks walking around with one. And really. I don’t know that I could ever spend $10K in a purse even if I had the means...
I just discovered you this week and instantly subscribed.. your vibe is EVERYTHING 👏👏👏 But this video right here, I have fallen in love. You are real and you are fierce and you are beautiful🐯 My rainbow Coach Court is getting delivered tomorrow and, Sis, I am feeling LUX AF👑 And you KNOW I scored that new baby with deep discounts on the Outlet🫰🏽Even treating myself to the Mickey Mouse X Keith Haring bag charm. Keep up the positive vibes. You are gorgeous!!
Yes I saw that but even Sophie said love coach but still LV has got down I love coach we need to be respectful to everyone I will be coach man untill dealth
“I love Coach but its not luxury” was just back handed of her 🤧
I agree with this so much! I am so glad I found your channel, I am not the richest person so I have been looking for reviews on affordable but good quality handbags and stumbled across your videos! Thank you for being such a positive person about this topic. Also, would you do an affordable handbag video? I literally know nothing 😂
I could most definitely do an affordable handbag video 😁 especially with all the crazy price increases going on lately! So happy you are enjoying everything 🥰
Check out Ciara O’Doherty on for a luxury RUclipsr who isn’t a snob. Really stylish but down to earth. She owns the big brand bags but also has twoTabby bags that she LOVES and did a couple of videos where she agreed that Coach is luxury quality.
1:57 couldn't stop laughing❤❤ great video as always
If I wanted to, I could buy a coach bag every month but do I do that? No! I loved coach for about a year now and started getting into Polene and Tory Burch. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but I ignore those who say “coach bags are rubbish or cheap”. I work hard for my money and I’ll spend how I feel!
I really want to get into Tory Burch more but they tend to over price things in Canada 🤧
@@scottiliciousmcfabulous I’ve actually only recently been looking at Tory Burch - I never really noticed him before. The Coach store in London is opposite the Tory Burch one so I’ll have to pop in sometime and check it out
People need to people alone... If someone likes their stuff and sees it as luxury so be it.
I love this video. ❤subscribed.
I like you! Im a MK lover and i started to see TikTok’s about MK is so cheap and don’t date girls that wears MK I was feeling so bad because I think is BS !
Hey gorgeous sis you are absolutely right! Love your personality 🥰 hope you have a great weekend 🥰🤗
Hope you have a wonderful weekend as well Kie! 🥰💛
All luxury to me!! I'm so glad you did this video, but I knew it was coming from our discord chat 😝💕
I love Michael Kors and Kate Spade. Their SLG’s, bags, everything. I had a Michael Kors wallet I used for 8 years and I’ve used and abused that thing every single day, but it doesn’t look scratched up, dirty or chipped. It really speaks to the quality of the brand if you can use a wallet for 8 years however you like and it doesn’t look chewed up or discolored. And the best part is? I didn’t have to pay $500-$2000 for it.
Yes! I am Coach all day!
Came for the knowledge staying for the personality new subbie
May I ask what do you think about Karl Lagerfeld bags?
They aren’t my favourite bags, I find the price per value in the department store bags to be lacking. But I have heard really good things about the actual Karl Lagerfeld Boutiques. Id love to visit one
I like my guess bags and tommies tbh I don't care if am high end or not
Scott love 😍 your video right on. Enjoy your weekend ❤
Birkin is beautiful tho expensive as hell
It’s your opinion or no opinion AT ALL!!!
Say it louder for the people in back sis!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
People are so tone deaf!!!!!
Having air conditioner is a luxury!
Being able to choose and afford fast food is a fucking luxury!!
Being able to afford makeup is a luxury!!
Having access to good and affordable healthcare is a luxury!!
People have lost their damn minds and lost touch with reality!!
With how difficult the world has become, simply living a happy life is a luxury! So glad you agree hun, always love to see you here! 🥰💛
I just no longer want to be associated with high end brands. It is embarrassing. I think people look dumb. I just need quality,.
Thumbs up for the RUclipsr and this video
I think luxury is subjective. I own Hermes, Goyard, Loewe etc… I also own Marc Jacobs, APC, and Coach. TBH I don’t think Michael Kors is luxury at this point, it’s not quality in general. That’s not to say MK doesn’t have any luxury pieces, they do, but overal as a brand whole, no. To me quality has to be there regardless of the price. Chanel is a good example also, I only have 2 Chanel bags left because I refuse to pay exorbitant prices for poorly made items with subpar materials. Again it’s all subjective. As far as Sophie Shohet she actually does a lot of videos about more affordable brands that are luxury. She owns and has given praise to several Coach bags.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏. I highly agree with you, whatever I spend my money on that I've earned makes me feel good then it is worth it to me. Thank you - Christina Riggs-Ross
Yes they are
I think, if you start looking at the resale value of a luxury bag, then you just got off the bandwagon of girls with luxury bags. You are now under the bandwagon of girls with investment bags. Luxury is buying something you enjoy, regardless of resale value, coz you are buying it for yourself to enjoy. You are right, investment and luxury are two different stories. I honestly feel that those buying bags for their own enjoyment is doing luxury. Those thinking of it’s resale value is doing practicality, for which the enjoyment of choosing is quelched.
i enjoy this content. ❤❤
I like this video thumbs up 👍
COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU!!!
Well said. Love this.
A true fahsionista is like Patricia Field a costume designer famously known with her work in Sex and the City. She mix and match from high end designer brands to mid range to thrift items and it works...
Tell it Scott
Love this video 🥰 like your stance.
Facts because I will rather buy a bag that fits my style and has a great quality for a lower price then a name that I personally don't find unique or beautiful and is over worn where there are more fakes of it on the market then real ones
When someone walked around with a coach there's a higher chance of it being real then a chanel
You tell them haters.
There are lots of brands like the teddy Blake bag for example are made better than those aka luxury bags. Those folks that buy the LV bags probably spent their rent money on it and eating cup of noodles. While I spend on teddy Blake, coach and get the wallet to put my extra cash in that bag and go out to eat a steak then baby let me the mid luxury for ever!👩🏾
Yes Kim, you are the true winner here! Amazing bag, cute wallet AND a hot steak? Thats the real goals! 🙈🥩
This attitude is so…ick. Most people with LV bags would never judge other people who don’t have LV bags. I love everything from Chanel to Tory Burch and I’m not eating ramen or putting down people I don’t know based on their purchases.
💯!! Wonderfully said 😻✨!!
Thank you Sahana! 😁💛
Her bags ain't no better than Coach hon
I remember in middle school when girls had MK bags. To me I thought they were the same price as an LV bag at that time not knowing. I thought I would never be able to afford an MK bag.
Well said👏👏👏
Does anybody knows his instagram profile?
Hello Marco, I hope this link works 😁 instagram.com/scott_mcfab?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
exactly the same I think. I have a hard time earning the money I spend on my MK bags. they are a mega luxury for me. I'm in love with you by the way I love you.
I clicked so fast because of the thumbnail.

You’re welcome and much love to you! 💛😁
Ehhh you lost me at considering Steve Madden luxury
Then you never found the point to begin with 🤷♂️
@@scottiliciousmcfabulous Or you have a really loose definition of luxury. 🤷🏻♂️
@@scottiliciousmcfabulous You're spitting facts!
3:57 that’s exactly my view as a luxury snob. contemporary brands are nice, but compared to Chanel, Gucci, LV, Goyard, they’re hot garbage. Dassit, dassall
Different bags for different folks. I’m admittedly a social climber and I’ve gotten far from where I once was. MK & Coach don’t fit in to where I live, eat, play or shop. From a purely fashion viewpoint, I know These contemporary brands have great styles and great quality, but from a social status viewpoint, they lower the perceived economic status of the person wearing them and that’s a fact. I can’t even dress, I have no style for real I’ve never been good at putting outfits together. Some people are into bags for aesthetics and others are into them as a display of wealth and both are legitimate. I feel like your channel is about to blow up, you’re watchable and fun.
Peeeeriooooodt! 👏❤️
PREACH!!! I loved this video! I absolutely agree with you, and oh my did I enjoy the call outs. Honestly, Sophie does not come across as super judgmental to me, but oh goodness Anna Bey is so frightfully vulgar with her plethora of how to be "classy" videos. Bey and her international "finishing school" seem so sus. She gives off major phony, wannabe Delvey vibes. It is rather comical.
I love a sissy just sissyin on the internet. U go Glenn coco
I agree with you , every time I go out with my friends ,almost everyone have the same channel bag.. it makes me not want one at all… I don’t want to be the same or a follower just bc you want to look cool.. there is nothing special on that.. that’s my opinion.
