    • @MelinMelbourne
      @MelinMelbourne  2 года назад +1

  • @collinsze9587
    @collinsze9587 2 года назад +15

    Fully agree with the mini Mcqueen curve bag, i got a denim version and fits more than it looks. Super confie and light on cross body.

    • @MelinMelbourne
      @MelinMelbourne  2 года назад

      Oh i love the denim version too! It's so hard to pick but the mini is the cutest isn't it? xx

  • @harryginnyalways
    @harryginnyalways 2 года назад +2

    I loooove the Coach tote! I didn't know it existed. I have the Cassie which is my everyday bag, and I can really see this tote becoming my work bag. Thanks so much for featuring more affordable bags on your channel, Mel!

  • @mbelieve9919
    @mbelieve9919 2 года назад +11

    I have the Balenciaga bag in a bright yellow and love it. It is so different from other pieces in my collection. I appreciate how it has the look of a basket bag but it isn’t rough against any fabrics. It is easy to keep clean and you don’t have to worry about light rain, etc. The inside pocket is actually made with a faux leather not genuine leather on my version, so I believe it is a fully vegan back for those that prefer no animal products.

    • @MelinMelbourne
      @MelinMelbourne  2 года назад

      Oh thank for letting me know. Absolutely great option for vegan lovers. The yellow would be super cute as well! Such a happy col and great to know it’s super easy to keep clean as well! Thanks for letting the fam know Xx

  • @nicolettecruz8435
    @nicolettecruz8435 2 года назад +11

    I used to work for coach and that’s the willow tote! And it actually retails for $295 so even cheaper than you originally thought it’s a great bag!!

    • @MelinMelbourne
      @MelinMelbourne  2 года назад +3

      Oh thank you for sharing! I think the price may have gone up now but still such good value!! Xx

    @SeafoamLove28 2 года назад +41

    I've been a long-time, silent subscriber of your channel, Mel, but today I was overjoyed that you featured a COACH bag in your list, I had to comment. 🥰 I am a huge COACH fan and I agree with you that COACH bags are of high quality. Their leather ages well. Bags last years and years (especially the retail ones). The best thing is their price point. You get the quality or better of "luxury" brands without breaking the bank. ❤

    • @MelinMelbourne
      @MelinMelbourne  2 года назад +5

      Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and let me know! Coach makes some fabulous bags and I’ve been really happy with the tabby shearling I bought last year. I want to include more luxury brands that have bags that don’t break the bank so I’m so happy you enjoyed this vid Xx

    • @monimarz
      @monimarz 2 года назад +4

      Coach is an under dog that gets ripped off by so many lux brands. Honestly they are fantastic.

    @Theresa1002 2 года назад +2

    Thanks Mel! I think its so great to show this type of video. I love the duffel Wang bag 😃....and that Mulberry is gorgeous!! I am definitely going to check out the Aspinal bags. Gorgeous and classy. Hope you had a wonderful time in Hawaii!!

  • @fromparistohamburg917
    @fromparistohamburg917 2 года назад +6

    Hi, Mel! I loved this video and the older one about SLGs. I like to see different sorts of bag from different brands.👍 For me, luxury is NOT a matter of high prices but high quality of design, craftsmanship, leather, hardware, ... And you're right the details count... I would keep the "bling speedy" 💖 because I'm not a backpack user.

    • @MelinMelbourne

    Another informative and honest reviews of all the bags you showed Mel. Love watching it till the end. My top 3 is the balenciaga xs bag, alexander mcqueen curve mini bag and the coach tote bag. Il vote for the elexander wang backpack, it is so cute and its on double purpose can be a backpack and a crossbody bag,it looks so chick and stylish. Much love from the Philippines❤

  • @FMfan18
    @FMfan18 2 года назад +2

    I used to buy Coach all the time. I’ve always been very happy with my Coach bags and they’re such a good price point! My first Coach, I bought in 2005 or so? is still in almost brand new condition. I definitely recommend checking Coach out, especially since they’re making styles similar to more expensive brands - and is better than buying a counterfeit lux brand bag that would be a similar price point as an authentic Coach! The Cassie, which is similar to the LV Pochette Metis was my most recent purchase and is such an great daily bag you don’t need to baby.

  • @fionamargaret6687
    @fionamargaret6687 2 года назад +1

    You should totally keep the bling backpack. It is sooo cute. I really love these videos as you show us ones we may not have thought of. If you can, I would love a review on the polene one and seven as the brand seems really popular and I see them everywhere:)

    @totesgene 2 года назад +1

    Another great video. I was 🤮 the whole time seeing that Alexander McQueen behind you wondering why that wasn’t No 10 then when you showed it it was ❤️. Super cute and the details are amazing. Aspinal is one of the best budget luxury brands. I love their London Tote.

  • @saggiteightyfour8367
    @saggiteightyfour8367 2 года назад +1

    I immediately fell in love with the Balenciaga tote bag. It would be great for the beach or on holiday!
    I don't like either of the bling bags because anyone can take some e6000 and stick some crystals on it. But without bling, I like both. I like the shape and leather accent of the backpack, but the duffel shape is also very nice.
    Bags 3 ( pink) and 2 ( black aspinal) were 😍. Probably what I'd be most likely to buy.

    Hi Mel, I’m so glad that you are looking at other brands. I think that Coach is under rated. They do have very nice bags and the price point is very good.. I also just discovered Aspinal and I think that there bags are very nice and very well made.

    • @MelinMelbourne

    @elinalall3475 2 года назад +2

    Thanks for the recommendations! I love videos like this that show different options at different price points. Just wondering for the aspinal Mayfair is that in shiny croc or patent? If I had to keep three I would pick the Mulberry, too cute if it can fit at least a phone and essentials, Coach tote and the mini crystal duffle. The duffle bag is so different. Also, what are your thoughts on Kate Spade bags? and what are your thoughts on the small darley from Mulberry... I find it looks like a Chanel WOC if you get it in the quilted version. Thanks for sharing xx.

    The Tory Burch small perry tote is about the same size and a great alternative for the LV on the go tote in the pm size. It may even be a tad bigger which I like as sometimes I feel I’d like slightly more room in my OTG pm. Tory Burch leather is so great also!

  • @jeniqueyearwood846
    @jeniqueyearwood846 2 года назад +1

    My top three would be the Coach, Aspinal of London and the Mulberry bag in that order because of the value that you are getting with the price point. I am not a fan of backpacks but I would definitely chose it over the speedy shaped back. The leather and structure of the mini backpack gives off a more premium and different vibe. I loved this video as always. Keep up the great work Mel. Sending ❤ from Trinidad 🇹🇹.

    wow Mel totally agree with your no1 choice! I am looking to buy a curve myself now 😍
    I just wanted to say though I don't think you should keep either of the Alexander Wang bags, to me they look so cheap with the nylon strap...
    Also I hate to bring up controversies but I personally can't back anymore of his pieces due to his scandal.

    I love Aspinal; purchased my first trunk bag from Vestiare (it was new with tags attached) and bought another trunk during the Black Friday sale. The Mayfair is a really lovely and chic style; wonder if you’ll pick up a trunk or hat box bag from them as I know you enjoy something unique xo

    • @MelinMelbourne
      @MelinMelbourne  2 года назад

      Hi Janae! What a good buy! I love buying brand new pre-loved you can save quite a lot! Yes I’m eyeing one of their trunk bags and that possibly could be my next bag from Aspinal Xx

    Hi Mel! I loved this video, very informative! You should keep the Alexander Wang duffle bag! Last year I bought the small Mulberry Bayswater bag, but I returned it because I didn't find the quality of the leather so good as I expected...

    • @MulberryLover
      @MulberryLover 2 года назад

      Sadly the leather quality of Mulberry bags went down over the years. For this reason I always prefer their heritage or vintage bags, because their leather is fantastic..

  • @MoonRaven777
    @MoonRaven777 2 года назад

    The Alexander Wang bags are so different,Mel…but I think you should go with the little backpack,because you don’t have anything like it! And it’s super cute❣️🥰😍
    My nr.1: Mulberry mini Bayswater.It’s too cute for words and the color and strap are stunning and beautiful❣️🥰😍
    Nr.2: COACH XL Tote
    Nr.3:Aspinal of London bags
    I do love you make these videos because if I ever can afford an expensive bag,I know a bit about the more payable bags.😊🥰

    If you like checking out different brands. Maybe try coccinelle, furla, ted baker, campomaggi and fredsbruder 🤗 do really like Coach bags, too. I don't have a ted baker yet, but am eyeing two and I am happy with the quality with the other brands. I also want to check out taschendieb wien - their bags look fun

  • @airliekat
    @airliekat 2 года назад +1

    I love so many of these, but special shout out to the coach tote, and the Tory Burch tote, as these often run under $500 AUD, which is far more realistic a price for average woman in Australia to spend on a new bag.

  • @suzannehall5200
    @suzannehall5200 2 года назад +1

    This was really good and so informative. I definitely like seeing bags, and SLGs, from less expensive but still very good quality brands.
    My favourite three are the Mayfair bag, I have that one in the large size and it’s a beautiful bag, the Coach Tote, that one looks stunning and very practical, and the Mulberry one.
    My least favourite three are the McQueen jam jar and the two with the chrystals. Chrystals look beautiful on an evening bag but on a backpack and a duffel bag? You have to be joking.

  • @dinavienna

    I Love the bling duffle most ! My only question for this or the backpack is - do the crystals rip clothes ? I was a bit worried about it at the price point !

    • @MelinMelbourne
      @MelinMelbourne  2 года назад +1

      That’s a good point! When I tried it on with my dress it seemed fine but yes if you are wearing something more delicate like silk it could snag the material….hmmm you got me thinking but great question!! Xx

      @@MelinMelbourne thanks Mel ! I had a high street crystal bag years ago that sadly pulled threads of a beautiful crepe skirt I had at the time .. I love the Prada Crystal bag because the crystals are glued for that reason… so I was wondering if the wang crystals were set In metal pieces or glued .. If they are set I’d worry a bit .. since it is a casual bag it could of course still be worn with cotton materials

    My favorites are the Alexander Wang duffle bag (backpack is cute but I'm not a backpack person), the mulberry in that colour is so pretty and either the balenciaga bag, coach tote or tory Burch tote. I'll probably go with the balenciaga basket bag because it's so different and I'm not a big bag tote girl
