I admit part of why I purchase luxury bags IS because I know I could sell it if I didn’t want it anymore, but if it gets a little worn and I don’t make as much money on it when I sell then it is what it is. I’m not going to be afraid to use my bags over fear that a scratch is going to lose me a few hundred dollars, because then what’s the point of even owning it?
totally!! sometimes it is about getting over the fact that all bags will get wear and tear after use
When I was young and didn't have any bags, I always wanted to buy everything. Now that I have everything, I wanted nothing. It's kind of funny how my mind changes over the time. My Chanel and Hermes bags are least often used bag. I always go out with Loewe or some more causal bags from Marni. At some point in life, when we acquired all we wanted, then we realize the happiness is within ourselves at any place or time regardless of what we carry.
True. But we also derive a lot of satisfaction from being able to style and curate a look. That's creative self expression, and it's no accident that the ones you're most comfortable with are a bit more edgy and less stuffy as a look. You have the satisfaction of achievement in life.
This is especially important as we get older. I feel justified in my wariness, sustained over time, of the ultra expensive brands like Hermès or Chanel as I don't think I would get the value out of them.
I so agree. Have the very same experience. Having it all makes the chasing seems pointless and one could reach a new mindset or insight into what wealth really is about. I feel is about a calm inner peace and new priorities. It also brings me purse peace telling myself if I really wanted, I could buy the birkin, Kelly and Chanels...but I prefer a curated small collection of quirky bags and invest more aggressively as i am aging.
thanks cinnamondori for sharing your experience! sometimes we don't realise theses things until after we have acquired all the "dream" items. Sometimes keeping it simple is best! (something I am also slowly learning)

@@Jessiestyle STORE YOUR RICHES IN heaven. God said so
Don’t you buy your bags to wear. Just leave them in the store if you’re only buying them for resale . I think this resale thing has gone out of control.
Instead of us owning the bags, the bags own us. It's wrong I agree!
people are going to buy hemès, use them as background, and leave the house with uniqlos ahahah
If you can’t afford to replace it, you can’t afford to buy it. It’s silly buying expensive bag just for status not for the quality. Of which luxury bags especially Chanel’s quality has gone down the hill.
i feel bad for all the people who want the bags, and there are not many of them, but they can't get it because other people are hoarding them
@@piercenigel4670 Not really because once they get the bag they will want more. It's a form of addiction.
I’m glad I live in a place where I’m not fearful about being rubbed on the street. I don’t resell my bags so if my bags get a scratch so be it, it’s not the end of the world. I say it often, I’m not a true collector because if it was just to have bags sitting of a shelf, I wouldn’t buy them in the first place. My true pleasure is to use my bags, so no, I’m not over anything. I buy from the boutiques and I will be the one that will own the new bags until they look vintage! 🥰
you have the perfect situation!!! yes it will be cool to see in 20 years when my "new" bags become vintage haha!
@@Jessiestyle They will wrinkles with me! 🤣
I don’t think the average purse snatcher cares what kind of bag you’re carrying. They just want to grab your bag and get your wallet. I live in a big city and I’ve seen purse snatchers and pickpockets. If they want to steal, they will steal a $25 Walmart bag as fast as a Chanel.
actually they already know from lots of luxury handbag buyers like yo self
This is how I’ve always felt! Me not liking attention on myself + designer bags are too expensive = me sticking to preloved contemporary brands.
Well in times when people are struggling to afford food and rent walking around with a bag that is 3 to 6 months rent does make you a target. It also makes people think of you as a person who lives in the capital that comes to the district.which reduces empathy.
I feel this way about LV now-sadly. It’s just so basic looking to me 🫠🥺😭 and im over it. However Hermes will forever be desirable to me, even YSL…it’s very elegant looking and classy.
Wear what u want, regardless of what people think Jess. What matters is you’re safe while rocking ur cute bag and you’re happy 🥰🙂 if u wanna be lowkey, then u have every right to wear a more quiet luxury bag, but if u KNOW u want to show out and go all out-then do it! Love ya.
thanks for your thoughts mrs jade!!
This is a side-effect of not punishing crime and having too much sympathy for criminals. Criminals will absolutely take advantage of our "tolerance". And now, it's become dangerous to carry an expensive bag or jewelry and go into town on an outing. It's unfortunate.
I disagree. It’s also possible that there is a great discrepancy between the rich and poor and that discrepancy has widened over the decades. It’s ok to have compassion for people who have less. It’s obviously a larger more complicated discussion.
@@MayaKabat There are lots of poorer people who aren't criminals. Most of them are decent, hard-working people with morals. It's not as much of a rich/poor thing as it is a criminals-get-no-punishment thing. It's that pathological altruism that's the problem here.
You are absolutely right that there are lots of hard working folks who don’t steal. I argue that there are a lot of reasons people resort to theft and I just disagree with you about “punishment” being the best or only remedy to a complicated problem or that all criminals are bad people. Disagree that pathological altruism is the main problem.
just carry a worn and torn bumm bag
I feel people are gravitating towards vintage because the old ones have gold plating and better quality in general not out of fear. Giving free advertising to a brand with obnoxious price increases without justification is the real issue here at least to me, but I think you can still wear the bags you love with strategic planning. In the case of the Birkin/Kelly since they are rarer thieves would probably assume its a knockoff and let you be, not so easy with Chanel since they know they were more accessible so high possibly of it being real equals thieving anyways in case its real because that resale price is too good.
Omg! Jess can’t you and Sophie, do something together? I love you both, you are so different and viewing with a perspective from 2 different ends of the globe.
The vintage flaps, are way more desirable, the leather quality is 10 times better and the metal was actually gold plaited.
Personally I baby my luxury watches and bags, partly because I can’t just go out and buy new, every time they have a scratch, but then again, there are plenty of women, in this world who use a Birken 40 as nothing more but a diaper bag, who don’t care and just buy a new if needed, but that’s out of my financial budget lol.
Btw. A stag of bracelets are for the ultra rich only, simply because the 4 basics cost a minimum of USD 50.000, the woman who can wear that as everyday bracelets, not even to mention their Watches, earrings, rings and necklaces, belong in a different class, they drive everywhere, only go upmarket places that often has security, the ladies are insured and can afford to replace it if needed.
Tamara Kalinic an influencer living in Italy, often travels with minimum 2-3 of her watches worth 90.000 USD, when she goes swimming she wear maybe 150.000 USD worth of bracelet stag, luxury watch, diamond earrings, rings… as seen in her Maldives video, she thinks very little of it. People and their finance are just different and so are their perspectives.
I will never understand people buying bags for investments or they are afraid of using it! Bags have a function and are meant to be used! They are not decorations lol! This is why I go for function as opposed to name and status! I don’t wanna have to think twice about using my bags…
I’ve definitely noticed that I’m not interested in buying a lot anymore, it’s partly lack of quality at an obscene price, but also I don’t feel comfortable carrying a bag that now retails for AU$17k and advertising it to the world
dont advertise luxury and refinement meant for heaven and the afterlife
Hi Jess! ❤ I know soph lives in the uk so theft is more common so I remember her saying to be cautious of your surroundings when wearing designer. In Australia it’s something we don’t really face in most places. However I went to Malaysia years ago and I was wearing a Louis Vuitton and I did get robbbed by 8 guys in motor bikes. One of the scariest things I’ve ever been through. It happened very early in the morning when I was coming home from the hospital with my 2 children. They had swine flu the second we got off the plane. We rushed them to hospital and when we were released I noticed there were people on bikes behind me all of a sudden coming from the shadows. We ran to to phone booth and that’s where they tugged the bag off my shoulders till the strap of the bag finally snapped. My sons was so sick and we were all screaming. I had all our passports and meds and money in that handbag. We were stranded and it was an absolute nightmare.
I learnt my lesson not to wear a designer bag at night time and never took another designer bag to Malaysia ever again.
That was a freak situation since it was 3 am. A white woman and her 2 kids in the middle of the night with no one around except these Indian Malay bikers. They must have been susing us out for while.
oh my gosh what a horrific story!! Glad you were all okay though!! losing the passports as well...what a nightmare! gosh yes when i went to europe my friend got her phone stolen and someone took cash from my wallet (it was some sort of petition scam i got sucked into!) someone even tried to take morney out of the atm as i was withdrawing cash! but yes usually in australia its not too bad!
@@Jessiestyle Some parts of Melbourne city are suss, especially late at night. Flinders street near Swanston and Elizabeth street that area is bad. Also King street at night. Just a no go zone. I think most cities have their danger zones . Prahan also at night...not good.
Living in the UK I can say that it’s the same as anywhere in the world - certain areas will always be a hotspot for crime. I believe Sophie’s negative experiences were in London but there are definitely areas where most people wouldn’t even recognise the Chanel logo in the UK. I also think that context/circumstance matters - at my firm designer handbags are the norm.
My friend was robbed by a guy on a motorcycle on a busy street in Madrid at lunchtime. It wasn’t designer but it was easily accessible to him as we crossed the street. It was super distressing so sympathies for your experience.
Crime has always been a reality, I try not to be a target which means staying vigilant when out and about. I agree that bags we would carry a few years ago (e.g., a bag such as a Birken that does not scream logo) are more recognizable today and thus more of a target. I have a friend who had her mobile phone stolen on the metro-the train was at a stop and she was standing near the door. The thief waited for the bell and then grabbed the phone and dashed off just as the door was closing.
hmm indeed!
Great video. Maybe an unpopular opinion but I don't buy bags with the resale value in mind I wear them all Hermes, Chanel all of them. The only one I am babying is my Kelly quadrille because it is very rare. Maybe it is also the environment I am in I am not the only one who carries a good designer bag. I also opt a lot for bags that I can wear crossbody if I would go downtown or in a crowded place. Would I walk alone at night in full designer no and I would also be very conscious on a holiday or in a neighbourhood I don't know. But I am not spending that crazy amount on a Birkin or a Chanel to make the bags collect dust in the closet life is too short enjoy the things you love but always be aware of your surroundings
Wow! Can we just remind ourselves we are talking about handbags? What use is buying a bag if you are too scared to wear it. It has all gotten a bit crazy.
I agree. These perchases often seem like they bring people a lot of stress.
I never use my classic flaps for these reasons- I don’t want to be a target, they are recognisable, too flashy and too formal for every day life. I also feel they are too obvious. I now only have Chanel 22 bags, small and mini size, and one mini coco handle which I keep for special occasions. That’s the most classic bag I have, as at least it has a twist on the classic.
just be a bag lady
I’ve been loving the silver leather bags that are out now and had the Fendi mini baguette in my sights but I’ve tried so hard to not buy much luxury this year. I spotted a silver Bottega-esque mini pouch bag at Jo Mercer, the shoe store, $100 in the sale so bought that instead. I will be more relaxed wearing that at parties too. Would’ve loved a Chanel CF but at what - $14-15,000? That money is going on my mortgage whilst I have one, not a small leather handbag. It’s madness when you really think about it.
Yeah but you’re not paying for a small leather handbag, it’s the status you’re paying for.
lol I love how you forgot what the point of the video was. I agree about people trying to make themselves less desirable targets, also probably becuase of the sameness of many collections. A lot of people like to feel different and bag choices definetly come to play. Do you have a what fits video about the gancini bag? I'm considering one and I wonder if it'll fit my essentials.
❤ my designer bags and I wear my bags in the city and enjoy then 😎
Wearing designer bags is a way Some people flaunt their wealth, and it can really leave a sour taste in the mouth. I wonder some of the hesitancy around wearing luxury bags during a recession is related to not wanting to be perceived thay way?
perhaps a bit of that too!! Thanks for your thoughts
Sad that we live
In a world that we have to think about someone robbing what we have worked so hard to acquire. I’m cautious but I use “my girls”…but then I live in a 6 mile square town…but thieves have wheels!
except heaven where you can request God for a billion of these in the afterlife
Why people buy bags, not using it or thinking of selling and price going up or down questions me. If I have the occasions, or if I had many going outs, I just use them. Also I would never wear a designer bag to work, like obvious brands with logos.
I agree, I do plan ahead whether I will take my Kelly or Chanel bag. It really is not safe out there especially if I make myself a clear target. 🎯 I have more than enough bags now, I am running out of safe places to wear them 😂❤❤.
I really enjoy your videos so now I want to purchase a Kelly bag. But what about Celine 16 handbag? Please wear your Hermes Kelly or Birkin bag.
Don't be afraid.
celine 16 is nice too but i prefer kelly myself! buy what you love ^_^
I find it reach for my oroton, coach etc and leave the designer bags at home. Which is silly but i agree with you , don’t want to stand out. Ps. Your makeup. Esp eyeliner looks fabulous ❤ pss love sophie shohet !
Jess- Where did you get your Fiorrucci t-shirt?! I bought a bag from them when we were in London this summer and love it!!
If you don’t want to be a target, maybe sell some Hermes bags? Birkins and kellys are very recognizable in major cities. Also maybe don’t decorate the bags with charms…that also draws the eye to a bag.
just be a bag lady
Gen z buy a lot of knock offs and tell everyone they aren’t the real one. It’s called bougie on a budget. It seems to be the it thing to save money and still have the item super fake .
ah yes...i have seen a few "bougie on a budget" channels....interesting!
I can't with this trend though! It's no better than shein. So bad for the environment which Gen Z love to tell you they are worried about climate change.
Hi Jessie! What is the Twilly you used on your black Kelly and the Baby blue boldie? they are both so cute!
I just bought a beat up Chanel boy hoping to revamp it because I got a good price and that’s all I can afford. Turns out I’m on trend!
run your own race
I want an iridescent bag but I am afraid my myriad black coats will ruin them😢
Oh no! That was so scary with that guy sizing you up! I am so happy that Alex was there.
I do think it’s smart to wear bags that are less recognizable if you are going out for a while and not in a great neighborhood.
Safety comes first.
I also like the aesthetic of beat up bags-I admired how Jane Birkin treated her bags. I don’t know if I could do that all the time though😅
hehe yes! i love the look of iridescent bags too but would probably go for a kate spade or coach version as opposed to chanel! thanks lots!
i actually worry about whether ppl think i’m carrying a fake bag or not with some of my lv ones. the product quality of lv and chanel has just plummeted and having imperfections in bags seems normal now but that makes it even harder to tell what’s real and what’s not. and, while i know it’s real, i see ppl walking around with blatantly fake bags and all and i’m just self conscious thinking, what if someone thinks im just carrying around a fake, ya know? maybe that’s better for ppl not wanting to rob me, but still, the quality of something you spend thousands on shouldn’t be akin to something you can buy for like 30 bucks online…
Great perspective ❤
They used to rob your handbag for its content. Now they just rob your bag.
good point!
Great video. I think you really nailed it.
thanks!! appreciate it!
the idea of a luxury bag being an investment is honestly just luxury propaganda. Even a luxury vehicle depreciates at an incredible rate and the utility of a AMG Mercedes, for example, is far higher than that of a Chanel flap bag. Yet, nobody calls these cars investments, even when they are scarcely produced in the AMG line, have 100x the utility of a bag, and depreciate better than a bag does - and eventually, they become classic cars and go up in value if maintained properly. Still, they are not investment pieces. 10k bags like the Chanel flap being "investment pieces" is such a ridiculous piece of propaganda. You can literally buy a car for $10,000 that will hold its value better because, no matter how many years go by, there are still 1997 Toyota corollas on the road with a higher resale value than an unused but resold brand new Chanel flap.
to me lux is becoming undesirable due to prices, i cant justify it. also right now im too scared to use them as i also dont want to be a target. it depends where i go and what i take.
I think if you live in a place where there’s very very little crime, you don’t have to worry about it of course if you live in a place where the crimes is pretty high, yeah why in the world would you wear a bag that could get you mugged
It’s a reality in city life unfortunately.
📝 Here is THE ISSUE: You can’t save yourself to a bag or bracelet alone. Folks there is more, you must be invited to special events, intimate off the grid gatherings and private shows. Car to table lifestyle .. not the tube or metro lifestyle .. wearing sneakers in heavy tourist areas.
Solution: Start with invite only dinners at your home, dress up.. Cartier etc.. and host darling. Uber to a restaurant and back in.. dress nicely and invite striving friends.
Chris Humphries would have said if you are scared to lose it you can’t afford it.
I’m wear Coach in the common public.
If I want to resale an investment I buy a house not a bag!😅 I buy my bags to wear them❤
true!!
Why not have insurance on your bags then? What is the point of having them if you're afraid to use them
Why you are doing video if most using statement is "I don't know". Haven't seen anyone that much annoying for a years..
You need braces and teeth whitener before the next 10k bag. GROSS
Well done for liking your own comment
You keep hearing about theft so I get why people are nervous to walk around with a 10k bag
i love sophie, but i think she's a bit too fearful. how dangerous is london? maybe paris, or barcelona, and surely new york. how dangerous is your city? paris is not that safe, but all that's going to happen is someone grabbing your bag if you're not paying attention. put your strap on your kelly and go have fun, i think.
thanks for your thoughts!

IMO having such a focus on the resale value of your bag, being “scared” to use them etc is super sad. Big 👎on these ideas in this video.
The stack of Cartier bracelets has jumped the shark.
I have a small collection of luxury bags and I love to wear them. Have yet to feel unsafe.
Knock off bags are a big no, no. It's not fair to the companies who have worked so hard to get to where they are .
agree
I don't think you should care so much about them in that way, they're usually a massive company/corporation that is profit hungry and won't think twice about massively inflating their product without a maintenance/increase in quality to reflect it. **Cough Chanel**
I think certain fashion houses still have some integrity but I don't blame people going for fakes for certain brands.. It's even embarrassing that some fakes are produced better than the authentic stock.
@@lucsun6960I'm not blaming anyone or telling anyone how to spend their money. It's just how I feel. It's illegal for a reason. I guess the law looks at it as a form of theft.
@@JP-kl1mj Of course it's essentially theft.. Just pointing out we're past the point of being loyal to some brands and being their ambassadors..
Gotcha 😊
