Great choice. Choosing quality over hyped name brand. Hearing so much about quality issues and absurd price increases, I've decided if I want Chanel, I will go vintage route.
I have the medium tote bag similar to what Meghan Markle has. Quality and structure wise its amazing but the only gripe I have is, it's a bit of a struggle to open the bag. To open, you have to unloop the metal strap from the handle and it's a hassle when the bag is on the crook of your arm or hand. I have to wear it cross body or shoulder for easy opening. One thing I can say though, the magnet on the bag is STRONG! 😀
I have another strath berry and the quality is pretty great. There are some minute details about the length and wear which could be improved but I was glad to find a brand that gives quality and value for money instead of charging absurd amounts for fake status I could not care to have. It’s definitely a godsend for people in the market for bags and not the other trimmings
I have a Strathberry bag. Beautiful leather. Will buy again from this brand! It’s painful to see this cute bag dissected 😢 but I understand it has to be done.
$400-500 is still expensive for a handbag. I think luxury prices distort our perceptions sometimes because the bag you’re dissecting is luxurious and the price reflects the quality. Truly, luxury bags are worth the same amount. We’re just paying a premium for the name and prestige that comes with it. $500 is a lot of money for a handbag. We need to normalize that fact and it would help us appreciate these brands delivering exceptional quality and craftsmanship at fair prices. Thanks for sharing and making these informative videos.
I start to wonder if these brands invent this look and maybe own the design? That would make more sense. Idk maybe we're still paying for the designs, which is viewed as the authentic one because they invented it? It seems it's difficult to invent new bag designs nowadays and are mostly now copying each other? It seems they no longer need to sue? Or can they sue? If someone create a new unique bag design, and some other brand copy it, do they get sued, do they own the design 70 years after death, enough to dominate if they're the only ones to offer it
Bags under $1k are not expensive especially when you consider animals die for these bags to be made. I think you're a little cheap to think $500 and under is expensive for a well made leather bag. That's why bags under $1k are affordable luxury.
@jseay89052 You sound a bit out of touch. Typically a person who can afford an 800 dollar purse can also afford 1200 dollar purse and both would be considered a luxury. Half of the US population can't afford a 500 dollar emergency let alone a 500 dollar purse.
Would appreciate a Kate Spade deconstructed review, have been buying Kate Spade bags for their low price point, but how will that translate to leather quality and craftsmanship? Adore what you do, that sound of cutting is oh so satisfying! Thank you
finally! thanks for doing Strathberry ! got 2 of their bags - the rattan weave and Multrees Hobo ; and their wallet. love the Hobo is not big but spacious enough for my stuff. and of course love the feel and quality of their leather. thanks again for this review!❤
I have seen Strathberry bags gaining the popularity but its still not so popular. I love their simple design but there is no way to see them in person as there is only ordering online option in my country. Thanks for the reviewing the bag and I can trust your honest review. This is my alternative good grain leather bag choice.
Such a beautiful purse, well crafted. Like you said it’s about the quality not the status that comes with the brand. Thanks to your videos now I look at the quality of the purses and I’ve become aware of other brands 😊
Very well crafted, elegant bag. I would check out Ateliers Auguste or Aspinal of London for your next conquest. Thanks for cutting apart these bags and showing us the details that went into this craftmanship. :)
Thanks for helping me decide whether or not to buy a strathberry bag! Could you do Aspinal of London next? They seem to also be very good quality at around the same price point as strathberry.
Quick customer service is mostly limited to chat. Very very quick to respond while you're still in the purchasing phase. But once order is placed and you're having issues the chat won't help anymore. They will direct you to their email which takes forever to respond. My order was missing a dustbag. I asked via chat and they confirmed that the model I mentioned comes with dustbag. They were quick to respond because they thought I was just inquiring for a new purchase. When I finally said my order was missing its dustbag, they diverted me to email. The email never responded. I didn't use the bag yet just incase I need to return or get a replacement. While waiting for resolution I started noticing issues with the quality--- there were visible excess glue on the front and on one side thats very noticeable. I emailed them about it, but no reply. My 1 month deadline was coming to close so I finally gave up and said I will just return. This time they responded and said they will accept the return, I just need to fill out the form and pay for return shipping. I'm like why??? I'm not returning because I changed my mind. I'm returning because my order had issues and nobody has been responding to my emails. It was my first order and never again. That Lottie bag is still in the box. It's beautiful despite some issues but I'm hating it because of their customer service ugh.
You made me laugh in the intro 😅 finally a bag that it's painful for you to dissect 😂😂😂 Thanks for your review, not a brand I knew about but then I don't follow trends nor the English monarchy gossip 😁 Still prefer my vintage bags, those definitely are luxury... In leather quality and craftsmanship 😉 😂😂😂😂
I purchased a small Strathberry a couple of years ago as a treat to myself. I was blown away when it arrived and could not believe the price I got it for. It was absolutely pristine and due to its more affordable price tag and great wearability, I use it more than my designer items. The only reason I have not purchased additional items from their collection is due to the very recognizable hardware design that they use with the gold bar. It is distinctive enough that I feel like I'd just turn into "the Strathberry lady" if I had more than one. But I would love to get their Safari bag.
I think its more likely that Strathberry sent her those bags. I highly doubt she chose them. Especially given the loyalty that Elizabeth gave heritage brands during her reign.
So I'm not impressed by Strathberry. I just received the mini Crescent 👛 on sale. My initial thoughts is that they should is added more glazing on the corners and the leather is somewhat dry. While I don't hate the 👛 or want to return I'm not sure if i would purchase another 👛 from them. For them to want $795 is crazy it's with the $475 i paid for it on sale. I feel Mansur Gavriel and APC are much better quality.
Can you please do bags by The Row. Specifically the Half Moon bag. Also the luxury brand Alaia - Heart bag. Both have been super popular this year. Your videos have been so helpful with choosing better quality items. Thanks for all you do!
I just got my handbag from your company and it’s beautiful, totally amazing. I’ll be putting away my other bags and wearing it for awhile. Thank you for selling quality products at reasonable prices. I’ll be ordering for Christmas too. N more for me for sure.
I would love to see a Mulberry bag such as the small Darley och the Lily. I think most of them aren't even made in England anymore. Also Susan Szatmary mini palais, Little Liffner tulip bag and Toteme the T-lock clutch. They are Swedish quiet luxury brands that make their bags in Italy
I had never heard of this brand before Meghan wore the bag. I wanted one but I wasn't sure about the quality as I'm not familiar with British handbags. I think I'll go ahead and give one a try.
I also wanted to get one until I saw people talking about that piece of gold metal tarnishI gave up. I found that the price went up so much during the past two years. I gave up again
I just found your channel recently and have been binging your videos since then. Thank you for your insightful content! As for which brands which might be interesting for you to review, I'd like to recommend you "The Bridge". It's an italian leather goods brand which uses tuscan full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather. I have been using their bags for quite some time and the leather gets more beautiful and interesting to look at with every year.
@@tanner.leatherstein She's only going to be the future Queen of the UK and 14 Commonwealth realms one day while her husband, Prince William, will be King. No big deal.
I have a Strathberry bag and enjoy it. Thank you for dissecting it! Would you please check out a Cuyana bag? Thank you so much for your work. It has been an eye opener for me and I’m sure many others! 😊
I love strathberry leather but I wish their designs, hardware, and lining would change. I only have an SLG from them. The leather surpasses Polene. Curious to know what you think.
Great video! Eye opening! Can you please explain what you mean with: "The vibe of the leather reminds me the leather choices I've seen from the lower weight dye section." Especially what is the lower weight dye section? Thanks!
Copying a bag design is not illegal, but only if the seller is trying to sell it for the original price. The knockoff bag I bought at lvguu was only $189. I am very satisfied
Hi Tanner, thanks for making all these amazing reviews. It takes a lot of courage to unravel the lucrative truth. Could you please do The Bridge next time maybe?
Ooof. Why not just make a small strategic incision to inspect the inner build and then stitch it back together and give it as a gift to your friends, family, etc.?
Thanks for you great videos. love them. aigner is a brand i think is the same as this Strathberry quality made but not the most extreme prices. keep on doing what you do.
Please please can you do a review on the Strathberry east west mini in embossed croc leather? I just bought one and now I'm having doubts as to whether I should have bought the other leather finish.
Songmont is getting popular, it competes with demellier and polene. Perhaps, you could also make a review of that bag? It originated from China but claims that the leather is from Europe
Tanner at 41 secs timestamp, what are those two bags in black and brown, on the leftmost second shelf from the top? Where can i buy those? I cant see them in pegai. 😁
Strathnery is excellent quality, I have 2. I bought Chanel and Hermes, this brand is well famous way before Markle. To be honest, Markle almost ruined the brand for me, good that they don’t associate with her anymore.
Watching that being torn to pieces was physically painful! I'd love to see Mulberry bags under the microscope. I'd especially love to see the much loved old Darwin leather bags (Alana, Roxanne, Pheobe etc) compared to the modern ones, and how the quality compares. Most of us Mulberry aficionados would say Darwin is better but an expert opinion would be great!
Another British brand that would be great to have your expertise is Mulberry - either the classic Bayswater or the Zipped Bayswater
Absolute trash quality. Owned both and returned both.
Yes!! Mulberry is my favorite
@@kellymillington-drake790 I disagree with this. I've been buying Mulberry bags since 2011. They have amazing quality, even at the outlet.
Yay!! So happy to see this!! I got the east west mini instead of a Chanel classic and am so happy with my choice!
Good on you. Don’t be part of the status cult!!
Use your money wisely and spend money on experiences instead of overpriced material objects ❤❤
Great choice. Choosing quality over hyped name brand. Hearing so much about quality issues and absurd price increases, I've decided if I want Chanel, I will go vintage route.
Finally!!! A strathberry review ! Tanner listens to the people❤. Now off to watch
That's why I have 3 Strathberry bags! I was already very much impressed with my 1st Strathberry purchase ❤
For some reason, I feel better when I hear you've "paid" for the item vs the company sending you the item.
@tanner.leatherstein yay! You, I trust. Companies, I don't. Thank you for such informative content.
Strathberry has been on my radar for awhile!! So great to hear it’s a great brand.

Love KKUWAN the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other RUclipsr can show off bags in as much detail as you.
I have a Strathberry bag. Beautiful leather. Will buy again from this brand!
It’s painful to see this cute bag dissected 😢 but I understand it has to be done.

I'm not rich and people even you have things more expensive. Don't exagerate. 😂

Kate Spade is average in quality compared to Strathberry. For the same price point, Strathberry is the better option.
Kate Spade is 🗑 just like MK.

@@MegaCloudygirlI've got a video showing the Lottie up close. I really like it.

I have this nano. Worth every penny! Their customer service in-store and online is topnotch.
It was so hard watching you dissect this bag! 😅 I’ve had my eye on Strathberry for a while, glad to know your thoughts on the bag!
Go for it! I have 3 already ❤
I second the Mulberry bags! Please review a Mulberry! Lily is really popular for a smaller bag.

I adore these bags. I cannot wait for the Spring collection to drop.
Thank you for reviewing,Strathberry ! This brand will soon be a coveted legacy brand 🎉🎉🎉
Been eyeing this bag for a while. So happy you reviewed it!

How about Mulberry? 😊🌻
This brand is niche and has been around for quite sometime. Meghan take no part in its popularity.
I think its more likely that Strathberry sent her those bags. I highly doubt she chose them. Especially given the loyalty that Elizabeth gave heritage brands during her reign.
Meghan bought her bags. She understands quality.
I love their bags I have several. But I’m not gonna lie the first time I did hear of the brand was because of her
Absolutely love your work! I would love to see Oroton in your channel 🙏🏼
This one hurt, it's so perfect
So I'm not impressed by Strathberry. I just received the mini Crescent 👛 on sale. My initial thoughts is that they should is added more glazing on the corners and the leather is somewhat dry. While I don't hate the 👛 or want to return I'm not sure if i would purchase another 👛 from them. For them to want $795 is crazy it's with the $475 i paid for it on sale. I feel Mansur Gavriel and APC are much better quality.
I'd love to buy a Strathberry bag someday. They are beautiful! Spanish made, too!

Good to know! I've wondered abt Strathberry for years.
moving forward i’m watching this channel and getting
these high quality bags and boots
Any time there's a luxury label, the price is at least three times what it ought to be and what the price would be without the luxury label.
What style/name is the metal bar rod hardware closure?
Great video! Eye opening! Can you please explain what you mean with: "The vibe of the leather reminds me the leather choices I've seen from the lower weight dye section." Especially what is the lower weight dye section? Thanks!
Spanish Brand - Iriarte Iriarte, specifically the book bag. they use full grain leather vegetable tannned. a comment on craftsmanship would be great
Can you review demellier?
I started buying this brand when she wore it. Love their bags.
Damn now I want one

Can you please do a review of these Parisean bags: Fleuron, Leo et Violette and Basile. Thank you.
Please 🙏🏽 do some reviews for Fontana Milano 1915 and Myriam Schaefer.
On what occasion would you wear these bags? I love your collection. Like I love my KKUWAN

Please do Demellier next! It’s a British brand
Please can you do a review on Mulberry and another British brand called Tusting. Tusting bags are alson made in the UK.
Strathnery is excellent quality, I have 2. I bought Chanel and Hermes, this brand is well famous way before Markle. To be honest, Markle almost ruined the brand for me, good that they don’t associate with her anymore.
Stop lying, you silly troll.
