pixie 01 - I purchase bags that are handmade if possible. Interesting and one of a kind if you have it in your budget. I have traveled all over the world and to pick up unique things, bags, jewelry and clothing. If you don’t have the money to travel, look to craftsmen in your own area for clothing, leather goods, etc. I have been asked about bags that I got from from local craftsmen, Wow! which house did you get that from? Also, you can buy off the rack but have it tailored to you. In the US off the rack is considered the end of it. In Europe where I lived for many years, it is the jumping off point. also, because I had to have a dress to wear to galas, and nothing fit properly, I went to a fashion designer and we designed a lovely black velvet gown with interchangeable sleeves. it cost less than the price or tailoring than a Caroline Herrara did. An ill fitting gown from Herrera or Stella McCartney, Donna Karan or Ralph Lauren. Also, my every day clothes, if I bought them at an outlet, or at clearance takes on a new life if you get them tailored. I have no problem spending $40 dollars on a $15 dollar pair of pants or shirt or jacket as long as it fits my body perfectly.
Based on reading the book, “The Millionaire Next Door.” Wealthy women don’t wear a bunch of designer clothes or bags. They actually live quite frugally and put their money into education and travel. Interesting book.
Coach bags hold up and the pockets and linings are always thoughtful about what women need, not like too many higher end that seem to think we hardly need space and just should carry their heavy purse around for show only
Her actual school is "affluence." If you can't walk the walk the affluent will smell you from a mile away. So, essentially, yes it does have to do with how you present yourself - handbags included.
No, the fakes are tacky. Individuals may be tacky but it doesn't take away from a well-made authentic bag. There are so many things that this social media commentator gets wrong that unpicking it is ridiculous. Also the idea that you have to throw things out is very frowned upon. You utilise and alter and adapt. Or donate.
@Stella Yates men ALWAYS comment on my bags. Not the brand or style though. They always say they like the way I carry my bag. I guess it catches their attention, but I have no clue what they're talking about lol.
If I like a bag I buy it, I don’t even care which brand it is... the bag doesn’t define me I carry it with confidence and that’s elegance... I am the brand not the bag.
Im not wealthy and i definitely get her point. Shes just not wording it too well 😂. Some designer bags do become so common that they become tacky. If that makes any sense.
Agreed......when I see designer hand bag I immediately think GHETTO‼️ I never got into designer bags. I remember when everyone was going crazy over coach and juicy couture back in the day 🙄🙄🙄I never budged I just never understood the obsession and Im a girly girl. The bags or like earrings everyone has them but the clothes can be classy depending on the style. Yes Chanel & Hermès is Timeless. 💕💕💕💕
As an ordinary lady who lives in one of the top five most expensive zip codes in the US, I can politely tell you that high society women don’t wear your style of dress; they wear Patagonia, Lululemon, Loro Piana cashmere, and Brunello Cucinelli nude, many 40+ women love luxury hobos dresses tunics and dress in vacation vibes. And many of the old money second generations were not even that brand-focused. They love art and Anthropologie. Stores like Hermes and Chanel are filled by the newly wealthy upper-middle class.
True wealthy people watch how they spend their money and also do not want to look like billboard advertising. It's new money like a Kardashian who is into designers.
@@Jane-vw5om you are stupid. She is not judging anyone. This video is for ladies who wants to elevate their looks and look elegant. You are probably one of the plain Janes and got offended...
@@love_nyc_ yes they do!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but, hey, I can afford luxury, but dont buy it cuz I just dont buy leather, simple as that!!! And the luxury handbags I have seen that arent leather just dont appeal to me. I like slim, smooth bags where the lines just flow, know what I mean?? Like where the handle isnt long, but just that, a handle, not a shoulder strap, and that looks like it is a continuation of the bag?? I know you know what I mean.🤣🤣But hey!! Dont knock Walmart!! I have seen some decent looking bags there!!! I actually bought a wallet there one year, a beautiful herringbone, long slim wallet in faux leather that was actually as soft as calfskin!!!!!!!!!! Mever found anything amazing there besides that, but the point is, even Walmart can have some nice things if you keep an eye out!!!!🤣🤣🤣😘😘😘😘😍😍😍😍😍
So sorry she doesn’t like Coach. I’ve always believed Coach to have some classic styles. While I get that some of their styles are a bit trendy as of late 20 years, Coach has some excellent purses and bags I will never let go.
I own 3 bags total and all of them are Coach, I absolutely adore all of them and I think they are classy in their own way. Plus, they have lasted me soooo long
Lisa Bell actually Chanel and YSL are getting out of style soon I guess. Everyone wears it, way to basic! It might be exclusive now but just like the LV neverfull will be expiring one day
Ultimatum Certain styles yes not the entire brand as a whole......I never said anything about the bags being exclusive .... simply giving advice about classy looking bag brands . I see an over saturation of Hermes Birkins everywhere ...... doesn’t make the bag any less classy. It’s not just about the brand but the style of bag you choose . Anna talked about LV not being classy yet she owns and wears certain styles of Lv bags herself, just take a close look at her pictures on Instagram.
Ladies, true elegance is confidence, composure, and humility that comes from within, not the bags you wear or the clothes you own. Do not let channels like this talk down on something you love. Life is hard as is, so buy what makes you happy and to hell with what an Internet stranger has to say!
GREAT, you are so right and it's exactly what I thought when I stumbled over this strange video. Btw, she doesn't look very classy to me, just another one out of so many "cloned" influencers. Sorry, but to me they all look alike...
I've noticed recently that fashion brands that were usually associated with classy timeless fashion items are now catering for the more trendy audience!
Zanele Mnguni Because the trendy audience likes to spend tons of money in order to look rich. We often forget that fashion brands are corporates, and like any corporate, they want to dominate the market and make the most money.
I have a Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM in DE and own several LV bags in classic monogram canvas and I love it them all! I have 8 to be exact. I know LV looks tacky for some but LV is my jam. I am a plain Jane and I love LV! 💛🤗 I don’t need to look affluent because I am not. I just work hard for the things I want.
Absolutely. And if anyone "needs" to look affluent, they should probably work on their inside first! (ETA: I say this as someone who owns classic Chanel bags AND a Neverfull. ;) )
I love this comment! Why look like something when I’m clearly not. I’m fine with my style. We focus too much on what others have and can afford that we forget.
For me, being elegant is being respectful and unpretentious.Someone who is intelligent and unmaterialistic. Also,being classy or sophisticated is how you behave when no one sees you :)
I would say yes but also no. True beauty comes from within and is reflected out. It’s important to respect yourself and represent yourself from the inside out. Being elegant is not the only way to do this, but for most of the people watching this channel that is how they would like to represent themselves. :)
I have no problem with this person expressing her opinion, however calling people "basic" or saying that having one of these bags means you do not know "elegance" is both off putting and is tasteless. Most people confuse class with snobbery, again she is free to have an opinion and offer that opinion but she does come across unprepossessing by utilizing certain words to describe people.
She doesn’t know anything about fashion or Affluence as she claim. I have been there and done it. So called Affluent people are rude, swear lots and always the loudest one at the restaurants. Fashion is what makes you feel confident and comfortable on your own skin not what people think. For she is the who looks “Basic”
@@ginger1549 ...She certainly does have class.. Come on now.. That's ridiculous to say she doesn't 🙄..You know what this channel is about.. She's a finishing school coach...If you don't like it, move on🤷...SMH
@@luisafrance1635 ...Then those people are obviously not elegant...This channel is about teaching women to be decent, polite, and to have manners.. This woman is completely against rudeness and being loud and offensive.
Well said.. i however agree with her, I dont like those bags she mentioned in the video. But the way, she mentioning things is like so downgrading. I find it rude for her to say those you know
Mary S wow basic people ... it’s obvious she needs a reason to need God to see she’s no better than anyone else; she had a nose job ..... is that basic too
And don't forget "plain janes". Sorry, but can someone tell me to which royal house does she belong?? Wow just wow! I can say she has content and I could even be in agreement with some of her picks but the deliverance of the content and her demeaning attitude speaks louder than her words which sadly reflect a very poor human being regardless of the money she's come across. Respecting others is the foundation of society.
@@artOfSamira ... I was thinking along those lines, as well... I was reading a few of the comments, and people are way too easily offended these days over the slightest " wrong choice of words" or something. .it is silly sometimes, since I'm older and I do not " get " how this " P. C. " Culture took over everything! Really ridiculous.
I just bought a Louis Vuitton speedy 30 as my first luxury bag - in the classic monogram print. I chose this bag because I have dreamed about having one ever since I was 12... specifically the speedy in this print. I fell in love with it and still at 25 I love it. It makes me happy when I see it and I can't believe I am able to own one now.
It is a very nice casual bag. What Anna is poorly trying to convey is that some bags are not elegant. This has nothing to do with the brand but rather a style. Some are causal day bags, some are evening bags, some are special event bags, some are shopping bags etc. Your bag is absolutely fabulous for what it is, and I hope you wear it for many years to come.
Enjoy your speedy..I got speedy Dam 25 B earlier this year and I like it so much got a monogram 25 B last month… goes well with chick jeans etc.. 👜… who’s does not wanna be associated with lovely Audrey Hepburn 🥰🥰🥰.. I see Anna s point though solid color bags does goes well with chick pants , jackets etc..🤍
M Teresa I agree this whole thing of dressing a certain way to appear classy is nonsense people can sense if you are truly classy person as that is a way of being that comes from with in . As my mother always says you can’t buy class and true class Can be found be found in all tax bracket not just the Uber wealthy.
Remember ladies: This is just one person's opinion on what *she* finds to be classy or elegant. I don't think there is just one way to be classy or elegant (how boring).
Being classy and elegant is natural. Whether you have one an entire logo Gucci outfit or a tea dress and top hat like a royal. Look at Paris Hilton. She is old money and when you look at her she wears a lot of brands and just looks like old money no matter what she wears.
Hobi makes me happy i assume she shares this in her finishing school, but she doesn’t like to actually give examples which annoys a majority of her followers. personally, i enjoy her content as entertainment because some of her advise doesn’t ring true to my friends and i.
@@AlejandraElisabet, actually she does at times mention best/better options. If you follow all of her videos, you would have heard some she has mentioned before :)
DMLK CS i haven’t been watching her for a long time so i haven’t checked but thank you for telling me. her style doesn’t align exactly with mine but i do agree that classic fashion is incredibly beautiful.
Chanel( The classic double flap is just perfect), Dior( the lady dior especially but they do have some other beautiful and classy designs ), Hermès(birkins and kellys) , Dolce and gabanna(especially the box bags cuz they're soooo expensive and they scream affluence, the sicily bag is simple and beautiful too.) And what makes these bags even more amazing, is that most of them hold their value if you ever wanna resell them, in fact birkins and kellys and the classic double flap in the jumbo size only increase in value so they're a great investment to make.
It’s an unspoken dig at others saying you can afford to dish out a specific amount of money on a bag YOU LIKE (see: it’s OK to like the bag) that others cannot afford. Unfortunately she is right: it’s gotten to the point where there are so many knockoffs that the thrill is gone. And most of the wealthy women I know would never carry one. I said forget it and bought a black leather Calvin Klein tote. You can’t even see the logo. It carries all of my junk and I’m happy. I can afford a LV tote but I didn’t think it was wise because everyone has one and it’s not unique anymore. It’s over saturated the market.
You're changing my life. I choose elegant outfits, handbags, shoes, coats.. even in pants. I loved wearing jeans but now I just wear them for University. I'm more confident now. I act elegant around my crush that he is from a very high society family, and every time he see's me he looks at me in a good way. I act elegant and I actually really feel like a little elegant lady. Thank you so much Anna.
Same lol and in reverse it would be worse if I didn’t buy what I liked just because people told me it was overplayed or made me plain. I’m not the type of person that looks to stand out. I’d rather not. So I have no problem with blending in with the basic bitches of America 😂 i have a personality that people can get to know if they think I’m plain I could really careless
I've had the pleasure of being in the company of 'old money' and truly affluent people, even though I personally am nowhere close. One of the things I noticed is that if they like or believe in a product they will talk about it. If they dislike something- they will rather say nothing. They do not trash it and are very considerate of the fact that not everyone has it, and strive to not offend. In fact, they are stoically silent about the difference between rich and poor when they are with people on a different level to them. The new rich or the 'trying to appear rich', have no such qualms. I love her videos, but she is clearly not born into affluence (as she is vocal about to be fair.)
Yes, I am not affluent myself, I am just a 15 years old daddy's brat (kind of) but looking forward to be elegant someday, Anna has also spoken about her journey and how much she improved
😂😂😂😂😂 I love it... I own a few of these bags she "roasted" and I thought this video was hilarious! At the end of the day, the stuff she says is not fact.. It's just her opinion , and I take it all with a grain of salt (meaning: her opinion does not hold much weight) lol
Is it possible to buy sonething that look elegant, but not necessarily expensive? I dont like to spend too much on items that I dont really need. Please show examples on what looks elegant.
I'm french and I agree with you we like to buy elegant bags for affordable prices. I'm actually a fashion youtuber and a fashion designer so I love looking for the perfect clothes and accessories if you want help 😘
There is Furla which is a classic brand more affordable than the very famous designer ones (in my country at least). I just bought for myself the bag Diva in black for around 450€ as a gift. It is still very expensive but it can be a good compromise between the high street shops and the designer brands.
Coach went through some dark days with the monogram canvas bags, but someone at Coach is really turning around the boat. The new leather bags look nice.
Agreed! I’m really liking their simple black bag. Probably not so much elegant as a well made, long lasting and more affordable purse for the “working class.”
I bought a leather Coach handbag last year from Macy’s and it is holding up amazingly! I wore it the whole spring and summer and it still looks like new.
I think if you like the bag just buy it.... don't let anyone tell you what to wear ❤ i like lv monogram and it is really beautiful i don't care if there are too many replicas cause i buy the bag for myself not to impress others
Same, girl!! I know the designers...but no way can I afford them. Michael Kors is about as expensive as I get. Half the time I get them from Marshall's! 😂😂😂
@Tonya Antony Absolutely agree! 👍 but MK heels are ok. I just bought one. But the bags look so fake and cheap but they are priced at $250.00 and up! No thanks. 🤭
I agree with you. I would love to see your recommendations of elegant handbags, as I am starting my collection, at this time in my life. Thank you so much Anna.
I agree. Classic elegance never goes out of style. Too many purse brands are trying to get attention by being radical and attention getting in a bad way. If a purse design has been around for decades then it probably is time tested and should not go out of fashion anytime soon.
Am I the only person feeling disgusted by this whole „i dedicate my life to looking rich and getting a rich man to support me“ approach? Very, very sad! Big thumbs down!👎🏻
“Elegance” is not only what wear and present to the world, it’s also how you carry yourself. Don’t get discouraged by this video if you wear these items because honesty it’s just a purse.
@@mariamkarouni3980 Men who are worth a damn notice no such thing....you should concentrate on finding one of those, instead of one worried about what brand you are wearing on your ass. You'll be far better off in the long run.....
So glad this is out because I haven’t invested in a luxury bag yet and I’m interested if my instincts about the not getting the “trendy” bag was right. This is validation!
For me I respect a woman who buys a high quality purse from a little known manufacturer (which requires a bit of research to find) who offers great designs at a fair price...and does not have some loud tacky logo on it.
I got my first Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 bandouliere at the age of 40. Never in my life have I imagined I'll own one. Is it worth it? It is. It makes me feel good. 😂
I love ❤️ my LV bag I have three of them . They are versatile and love the design. I dont care who liking or wearing it or not. I love myself and I am going to go with my ❤️. I don’t need a labor elegant to defines me.
I've owned the *rrcopys* tote for years and it still looks as beautiful as the day I bought it. The craftsmanship and durability of these bags is truly impressive. There are so many styles and colors of their bags to choose from!
Finally! 🙌🏻Someone honest about brands. I thought I was the only one who doesn’t like those bag doesn’t matter how expensive they are. I went to Colombia 🇨🇴 South America and I was crazy in love with the quality, leather and design in those bags, some of them handmade, different and unique. Every place where I go in US people just fall in love with my bag. Additionally, there is a brand Nancy Gonzalez, a Colombian brand available in Saks Fifth Avenue in US, absolutely gorgeous!
You guys buy whatever you like, who cares if your neighbor like it or not, you are going to buy it, so you have to love it, I used to like her videos and now looks likes she judges people for way they look or the bag they use, who cares, wear what you really love and be happy, we only have one life to spend it trying to please everyone, it’s just my opinion, so many dream of a luxury handbag for years and work hard to get it, and that deserves respect, not everybody has the “economic class” that this lady has
Some may disagree with me, but I have a closet full of Aldo bags, the average price is $55 and they are my most complimented bags amongst all types of women when I am in public. I have a bag to match every outfit so spending hundreds on a bag isn't worth it for me. What I like about many of their bags, is they last and overall look better than many expensive bags.
Totally agree! I recently got a vintage coach purse as a gift and it was made with real leather and has no logos on the outside. Such a timeless classic!
It's kind of sad that women think they need a designer handbag to define themselves as affluent. Airheads do that and women with any education in finance know how to invest their money and it sure isn't in some silly handbag.
While I agree with a lot of the things you said, I believe there is a bag for every person/outfit. Yes, the Neverfull is very lax, but it works for a diaper bag and for going to workout or being more casual. It all depends on where you are in your life. I personally don't care what others think, and I buy things that catch my eye (and I rock them too). But yes, I do like buying bags that will never go out of style such as (some of the) Chanel bags. Also, I just want to say that clothes/bags and money can't buy class. I've been around many wealthy/affluent people and they are just like regular people; the good, the bad and the ugly. Lol.
Growing up, I never understood why my mother never bought designer bags when she could easily afford them. As an adult, I now understand that an elegant lady of means feels no need to become a billboard in order to be accepted by strangers.
I love my Birken. It’s practical, large, and can be dressed up or down and it’s a classic that never goes out of style. Plus, calling people plain Jane and Juvenile is a poor example of classy.
I feel like it’s not classy to judge people and assume they aren’t classy by what they carry around and all her videos seem really judge mental and putting people down saying you can’t be classy if you do this
Kamille Choudhury yet still Chanel classic flap, for example, also screams that too many people wear it, too many fakes plus it looks like a grandma bag (No offence if someone likes it).
I’m conflicted with this video. I think many women have their own style (edgy, feminine, boho, ect) and they can still make outfits look really fashion forward and classy. Most women who can afford these bags have multiple designer bags to style with outfits 🤷🏼♀️ to each their own
Also, ladies, I know I am always in the comments talking about how I am one of the ones that can afford things and travel in affluent circles, but that does not mean I cant improve myself!!!!!! No matter how "perfect" we may seem, there is always room for improvement, whether that be in clothing, in the body, and most importantly to me in the mind and personality!!! That is why I watch Anna!!!! We can always improve!! We are NEVER done learning and growing!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍 Love to all of you and have a wonderful weekend wherever you may be!!!!
True but elegance reflects on the outside with how you carry yourself & what you wear. It has a huge role in it. Designer bags are for people who want to show off & do what everyone else is doing. There's nothing wrong with what she said in this video, if you don't like her content don't even spend your time commenting. Watch another channel that you would find more enjoyable :)
Reema Amar we can agree to disagree, we all enjoy different things and spend our own money the way we see fit. I personally don’t buy designer bags to show off. I like the stories, heritage and craftsmanship that are behind some of the bags and it’s no different than anyone else who collects things that fascinate them. 🤷🏾♀️, I just get to use mine on a daily basis.
I don’t think she’s talking about what you can or cannot buy. This is simply her advice on which bags she considers elegant & what bags she thinks someone should go for if they want to look classy. But yes, we all have our opinions & we can surely agree to disagree
Very interesting comments! When Anna said Speedy, my heart cried a little. Audrey Hepburn, a legend who impressed the world with her elegance and simplicity carried speedy. I agree with the ladies who have mentioned here that it's how we carry ourselves matter the most.
I have worked over 8 years at LVMH and I love the heritage and tradition that the monogram represents. It is true the Neverfull has seen amazing success. But i think it depends on how you wear it. LV has been making active efforts to gravitate towards leather bags creating their icons. But as the travel experts they are nothing is as carefree as a canvas monogram bag. I would say rock it for travel, casual ocassions and as a shopper and you should be fine.
I bought a small bucket bag in beige from Cuoieria Fiorentina and it still looks new after 3 years. Never heard of them? Exactly! That's elegance, high quality, no logo, without being an advert billboard.
I think you maybe missing the point of what she's trying to say. She is trying to prepare us for socializing within that circle. If that is something you want to do. They will judge you based on the items you own, unless you can handle being different she's just showing you how to fit in.
@@fylgia8567 It looks very elegant and it is perfect for the day. This is not a good outfit for a tuxedo party, she would look pretty but under dressed.
@@fylgia8567 do you have any sense of fashion. That dress is formal and can fit any formal event. You are the last person any of us shall get fashion tips from

Here’s an idea. Don’t like the bag, don’t wear them. Easy-peasy. Wear what you want and don’t care about what others think. ✌🏽 edit: And as for Louis Vuitton being trashy, please refer to the late Lady Diana who happily rocked her monogram Toiletry 19 under her arm back in the 90’s.
I can’t afford designer and don’t want designer. I like quality, , elegance, convenience, without logo. And I don’t want to “ look expensive “! Where do you suggest I shop?
Hi, in my opinion it's better if you could teach how to be classy and elegant with a normal or even low budget. It's pretty easy to be elegant and classy if you have so much money to spend it on brands. Just go in a shop and take the stuff from the "shopwindow". By the way I love so much how you put the focus on feminity, in clothing as in the attitude. Much hugs 🍀
It’s absolutely possible to look classy and elegant on a budget she probably doesn’t have the where with all to be able to suggest inexpensive ways to achieve the same look.
No matter the money... Really I believe beyond the brand's names...(A sure value is (you). To be aligned with yourself and express as most possible your inner beauty, if you you can reach to synchronise your self, you will shine! You energy will carry it self, where and ever you want to use it. I do appreciate following Anna's tutorials. I certainty hope I understood her teaching, so far!!! At least I sincerely feel more and more confident about my self..
@@edennis8578 thank you so much for your comment. I have done that and since I cannot afford expensive garments I got myself a very talent taylor I have my clothes done by her. I invest on high quality fabrics ( most natural as possible) and just mimic the clothings that high end are delivering. I am building my wadrobre little by little and feeling good everyday.
They do believe or not. Well they don’t really say they are not classy but they can really tell when someone looks cheap( by that I don’t mean cheap of as price)
Since this word ( claasy ) is not important for me. I never ever would analyze if that bag or that woman are classy. If I like bag or style that's all it matters.
I think that Chanel and Hermés made their bags so expensive that when someone like me (who is broke) wheres them you would immediately know it’s fake. Because people who are middle class or below cant afford these bags. So the replica won’t be selling that good
So credit doesn't exist in your world? Many middle-class people pay for these designer bags over time. Only people with crappy credit scores don't get those 0 % APR offers lol.

Coming from an affluent family, the rule is, any bags or clothing that have designer logos on them, is a no-no. We are not billboards for a designer.
So what brands do you purchase ? If I may ask, your comment is very interesting and I'm curious
pixie 01 - I purchase bags that are handmade if possible. Interesting and one of a kind if you have it in your budget. I have traveled all over the world and to pick up unique things, bags, jewelry and clothing. If you don’t have the money to travel, look to craftsmen in your own area for clothing, leather goods, etc.
I have been asked about bags that I got from from local craftsmen, Wow! which house did you get that from?
Also, you can buy off the rack but have it tailored to you.
In the US off the rack is considered the end of it. In Europe where I lived for many years, it is the jumping off point.
also, because I had to have a dress to wear to galas, and nothing fit properly, I went to a fashion designer and we designed a lovely black velvet gown with interchangeable sleeves.
it cost less than the price or tailoring than a Caroline Herrara did. An ill fitting gown from Herrera or Stella McCartney, Donna Karan or Ralph Lauren. Also, my every day clothes, if I bought them at an outlet, or at clearance takes on a new life if you get them tailored. I have no problem spending $40 dollars on a $15 dollar pair of pants or shirt or jacket as long as it fits my body perfectly.
I am from working class and would not wear one for that reason too
gatamadriz I like your perspective.
I did not know that a rule could come "from an affluent family." All these society wannabes should improve their English,
Let's be honest, designer brands do not make a lady ELEGANT
Thank you and 💯 fact
most of the women thought they were
Yes. I hate bags with enormous visible logos. It looks horrible.
looks cheap
@@siusiuc true
Based on reading the book, “The Millionaire Next Door.” Wealthy women don’t wear a bunch of designer clothes or bags. They actually live quite frugally and put their money into education and travel. Interesting book.
Hi :) Who's the author of that ?
This is why you find someone to purchase these items for you...
Thank you will check them out :)
I agree! As the saying goes, “Money talks but wealth whispers”
Green4CloveR oh, I like that saying! I’ve never heard it before.
“It looks like a guess bag or a coach bag”...... *me saving up for a coach bag as my first*👀
Lol! Right? I love coach bags. They are well made and super cute!
I love coach because it’s my initial! Quality doesn’t always mean more expensive.
Coach bags hold up and the pockets and linings are always thoughtful about what women need, not like too many higher end that seem to think we hardly need space and just should carry their heavy purse around for show only
@@shenelleramjewan2416 very well said, Anna! Thank you. Getting it veeery soon😍
Coach makes pretty good bags. Granted the ones from the 90s are wayyyyy better than the leather now, but buy your Coach bag!!!
Invest and educate yourself. No brand can buy you class.
So true!
Period!!!
Amiiiiiin !
Yes, so true!
truuuuee
Who else came for the comments? 🙌🏼
Jacqueline Natividade the never full comments are my fav! I have one and use it as my go to for travel but I agree with her they are played out
😄😄
👋🏼
Jacqueline Natividade 🤣🤣🤣🤣yess
I agree with the neverfull too. And its not my type 😁
Classy has NOTHING to do with designer handbags.
Yes, but she has a wannabe attitude towards that:) Fake it till you make it. :)
Shes talking about if it looks elegant
Not entirely, but she's just trying to align you with looking elegant so you can match that energy.
A V find your own energy. She comes off as incredibly bland and judgmental 😊 idk who wants to act like that
Her actual school is "affluence." If you can't walk the walk the affluent will smell you from a mile away. So, essentially, yes it does have to do with how you present yourself - handbags included.
I believe what makes a bag "elegant" is the woman wearing it ❤
Yes
How the lady carries the bag.
I totally agree
Indeed and when did a man ever comment on your handbag when he was asking you out!
No, the fakes are tacky. Individuals may be tacky but it doesn't take away from a well-made authentic bag. There are so many things that this social media commentator gets wrong that unpicking it is ridiculous. Also the idea that you have to throw things out is very frowned upon. You utilise and alter and adapt. Or donate.
An elegant woman would not dream of choosing a sloppy bag.
@Stella Yates men ALWAYS comment on my bags. Not the brand or style though. They always say they like the way I carry my bag. I guess it catches their attention, but I have no clue what they're talking about lol.
I think the most elegant attitude is to respect everybody’s choices. 😊
That is called tolerant
She is talking about elegant outfits not about attitude
Agree!
Oh hush
Exactly and it starts with you respecting what Anna consider elegant in her eyes.
If I like a bag I buy it, I don’t even care which brand it is... the bag doesn’t define me I carry it with confidence and that’s elegance... I am the brand not the bag.
Vanessa Hall yaassssss girl me too. I have LV bags and Target bags . Hell, I would rock a bag from the dollar store if I really like it. Lol
That’s true, but you want to be mysterious right?
PREACH. The bag doesnt define me. You just preached. Period.
@@tarsile7985 Nicely put!!
Preach GIRL!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍
Im not wealthy and i definitely get her point. Shes just not wording it too well 😂. Some designer bags do become so common that they become tacky. If that makes any sense.
Agreed......when I see designer hand bag I immediately think GHETTO‼️ I never got into designer bags. I remember when everyone was going crazy over coach and juicy couture back in the day 🙄🙄🙄I never budged I just never understood the obsession and Im a girly girl. The bags or like earrings everyone has them but the clothes can be classy depending on the style. Yes Chanel & Hermès is Timeless. 💕💕💕💕
I agree. I don’t care about the brand of my bag, but I like the label to be small, and not visible.
I agree!
It does
@@laurynstar ghetto? What does that have to do with ppl wearing bags?
As an ordinary lady who lives in one of the top five most expensive zip codes in the US, I can politely tell you that high society women don’t wear your style of dress; they wear Patagonia, Lululemon, Loro Piana cashmere, and Brunello Cucinelli nude, many 40+ women love luxury hobos dresses tunics and dress in vacation vibes. And many of the old money second generations were not even that brand-focused. They love art and Anthropologie. Stores like Hermes and Chanel are filled by the newly wealthy upper-middle class.
I also think wealthy Americans are more casual than wealthy people outside of the states….which I appreciate.
lol americans really do have zero style
True wealthy people watch how they spend their money and also do not want to look like billboard advertising. It's new money like a Kardashian who is into designers.
@@SB-fh3sv teue
Please not Hermès
Omg, choose people in your life who don’t judge you by your bag.
😂😂😂
Yes absolutely the very same reason I ditch a crew of friends that did this back in the day 😅
Exactly. What a stupid video
@@Jane-vw5om you are stupid. She is not judging anyone. This video is for ladies who wants to elevate their looks and look elegant. You are probably one of the plain Janes and got offended...
Agree 👍
Awesome video! honestly a bag screaming label everywhere annoys me
One of the reasons I dont buy Louis Vuitton!!!
Ahhh same
Me too. It can tend to look a bit tacky even if the label is quite prestigious.
I have always felt the same way. I don't like logo fashions. They look tacky.
@@love_nyc_ yes they do!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but, hey, I can afford luxury, but dont buy it cuz I just dont buy leather, simple as that!!! And the luxury handbags I have seen that arent leather just dont appeal to me. I like slim, smooth bags where the lines just flow, know what I mean?? Like where the handle isnt long, but just that, a handle, not a shoulder strap, and that looks like it is a continuation of the bag?? I know you know what I mean.🤣🤣But hey!! Dont knock Walmart!! I have seen some decent looking bags there!!! I actually bought a wallet there one year, a beautiful herringbone, long slim wallet in faux leather that was actually as soft as calfskin!!!!!!!!!! Mever found anything amazing there besides that, but the point is, even Walmart can have some nice things if you keep an eye out!!!!🤣🤣🤣😘😘😘😘😍😍😍😍😍
The dress you are wearing is beautiful.
Also wholeheartedly agree with designer handbags! Always appreciate your hard work and videos.
Thank you for this video and where did you buy your dress? I like the V-Neckline with the modesty cover.
Agree, it's lovely
It’s a beautiful dress !!!
I say yes to that dress. It's beautiful and I'd like more fashion videos from Anna - and a "recommended handbag" video.
So sorry she doesn’t like Coach. I’ve always believed Coach to have some classic styles. While I get that some of their styles are a bit trendy as of late 20 years, Coach has some excellent purses and bags I will never let go.
I own 3 bags total and all of them are Coach, I absolutely adore all of them and I think they are classy in their own way. Plus, they have lasted me soooo long
I have a few coach bags and Louis Vuitton. Both are equally amazing to me!
I have Coach bags now and years ago. They served me well and durable.
I only own one designer bag. Just got it a few days ago. Vintage Coach! 💕
the new coach is very gen z marketed and its cute and classy kinda tbh
"You can get it in fake" 😭😭😭😭 How did she know that's my favourite colour?!
😂😂
Class lost after reading this comment. Drink sprayed everywhere🤣

🤣🤣🤣
Hahahaa made my day
Point is: less is more. Logo displays and busy bags aren’t elegant.
Agreed
Yes they are
Do a video of classy bags 😁
Hermes, Chanel, Dior and Yves Saint Laurent .
Lisa Bell actually Chanel and YSL are getting out of style soon I guess. Everyone wears it, way to basic! It might be exclusive now but just like the LV neverfull will be expiring one day
@@JenniferManifests I will buy indi brands with no logos in classic styles, unique.
Ultimatum Certain styles yes not the entire brand as a whole......I never said anything about the bags being exclusive .... simply giving advice about classy looking bag brands . I see an over saturation of Hermes Birkins everywhere ...... doesn’t make the bag any less classy. It’s not just about the brand but the style of bag you choose . Anna talked about LV not being classy yet she owns and wears certain styles of Lv bags herself, just take a close look at her pictures on Instagram.
Lisa Bell That’s true! Very well said.
Ladies, true elegance is confidence, composure, and humility that comes from within, not the bags you wear or the clothes you own. Do not let channels like this talk down on something you love. Life is hard as is, so buy what makes you happy and to hell with what an Internet stranger has to say!
GREAT, you are so right and it's exactly what I thought when I stumbled over this strange video. Btw, she doesn't look very classy to me, just another one out of so many "cloned" influencers. Sorry, but to me they all look alike...
You're puffing yourself up morally here and knocking down open doors. You clearly didn't understand the video.
I've noticed recently that fashion brands that were usually associated with classy timeless fashion items are now catering for the more trendy audience!
Zanele Mnguni Because the trendy audience likes to spend tons of money in order to look rich. We often forget that fashion brands are corporates, and like any corporate, they want to dominate the market and make the most money.
So true....like Michael Kors!
FENDI
Zanele Mnguni I think it’s because street style is really trending right now (where the money is) so stuff that used to be elegant get a street vibe
@@vnhyujf not sure why people forget that. even Chanel has trendy pieces now
She sounds like one of those rich ladies from titanic lol "it's not classic because too many basic people wear this bag" lolll
Same also insulting plane Jane who is probably busy raising children
She’s super condescendant with her fake posh accent, teaching people how to look like someone they are not.
lmao i was thinking of the titanic ladies too 🤣
Shes saying that its a copy cat bag, and I get her point.
032213 RN check mine pls
I got my Louis Vuitton never full with money I had saved from my 21st and no one can convince me it’s not the most lovely bag in the world 😂🤦♀️💕
Yas!!!
Agreed! I saved for years for mine!
It is a work horse bag. I put my laptop in it and use it for work and not have to worry about the straps breaking. No regrets. It is truly functional.
amanda same here! It’s been a trusted tool for years
Yess!❤️
I have a Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM in DE and own several LV bags in classic monogram canvas and I love it them all! I have 8 to be exact. I know LV looks tacky for some but LV is my jam. I am a plain Jane and I love LV! 💛🤗 I don’t need to look affluent because I am not. I just work hard for the things I want.
I love my LV bags too
I believe they are worth the money for their quality and functionality.
I am a simple, sophisticated, practical lady.
Absolutely. And if anyone "needs" to look affluent, they should probably work on their inside first! (ETA: I say this as someone who owns classic Chanel bags AND a Neverfull. ;) )
Lui ... well said.
I love this comment! Why look like something when I’m clearly not. I’m fine with my style. We focus too much on what others have and can afford that we forget.
Love my LV…looks especially well with my baggy linen trousers from Primark, all bought with the money I earned
For me, being elegant is being respectful and unpretentious.Someone who is intelligent and unmaterialistic. Also,being classy or sophisticated is how you behave when no one sees you :)
I would say yes but also no. True beauty comes from within and is reflected out. It’s important to respect yourself and represent yourself from the inside out. Being elegant is not the only way to do this, but for most of the people watching this channel that is how they would like to represent themselves. :)
Exactly right
Amen!

@@jenniechen7158 LOL pathetic! I can express my thoughts but I'm not rude unlike you.
I have no problem with this person expressing her opinion, however calling people "basic" or saying that having one of these bags means you do not know "elegance" is both off putting and is tasteless. Most people confuse class with snobbery, again she is free to have an opinion and offer that opinion but she does come across unprepossessing by utilizing certain words to describe people.
This woman claims to be teaching others "class". She has no class at all. When I listen to her I think I'm at the lunch table in junior high!
She doesn’t know anything about fashion or Affluence as she claim. I have been there and done it. So called Affluent people are rude, swear lots and always the loudest one at the restaurants.
Fashion is what makes you feel confident and comfortable on your own skin not what people think. For she is the who looks “Basic”
@@ginger1549 ...She certainly does have class.. Come on now.. That's ridiculous to say she doesn't 🙄..You know what this channel is about.. She's a finishing school coach...If you don't like it, move on🤷...SMH

Well said.. i however agree with her, I dont like those bags she mentioned in the video. But the way, she mentioning things is like so downgrading. I find it rude for her to say those you know
3:40 “on too many basic people” ! Not so smart to categorize people like this and talk about elegance at the same time
Mary S wow basic people ... it’s obvious she needs a reason to need God to see she’s no better than anyone else; she had a nose job ..... is that basic too
It really is not.
Mary S i think with basic she means that they do not dress classy, but „basic“ like with leggins and day to dsy clothes.
And don't forget "plain janes". Sorry, but can someone tell me to which royal house does she belong?? Wow just wow! I can say she has content and I could even be in agreement with some of her picks but the deliverance of the content and her demeaning attitude speaks louder than her words which sadly reflect a very poor human being regardless of the money she's come across. Respecting others is the foundation of society.
@@artOfSamira ... I was thinking along those lines, as well... I was reading a few of the comments, and people are way too easily offended these days over the slightest " wrong choice of words" or something. .it is silly sometimes, since I'm older and I do not " get " how this " P. C. " Culture took over everything! Really ridiculous.
I just bought a Louis Vuitton speedy 30 as my first luxury bag - in the classic monogram print. I chose this bag because I have dreamed about having one ever since I was 12... specifically the speedy in this print. I fell in love with it and still at 25 I love it. It makes me happy when I see it and I can't believe I am able to own one now.
Enjoy your bag.Its a classic.Perfect reason for buying.YOU wanted it.😏
Good for you, I hope you enjoy it :)
It is a very nice casual bag. What Anna is poorly trying to convey is that some bags are not elegant. This has nothing to do with the brand but rather a style. Some are causal day bags, some are evening bags, some are special event bags, some are shopping bags etc. Your bag is absolutely fabulous for what it is, and I hope you wear it for many years to come.
Enjoy your speedy..I got speedy Dam 25 B earlier this year and I like it so much got a monogram 25 B last month… goes well with chick jeans etc.. 👜… who’s does not wanna be associated with lovely Audrey Hepburn 🥰🥰🥰.. I see Anna s point though solid color bags does goes well with chick pants , jackets etc..🤍
You go! Buy what you like because you can make it elegant!
A bag doesn't make a classy woman, that superficial. Class comes from within no matter who you are.
Exactly and how you treat people too
Yes.
Well said.
M Teresa I agree this whole thing of dressing a certain way to appear classy is nonsense people can sense if you are truly classy person as that is a way of being that comes from with in . As my mother always says you can’t buy class and true class Can be found be found in all tax bracket not just the Uber wealthy.
True, if you know the person. Not so true, if it's first impression. It's not about how society should be, it's about how society is.
Remember ladies: This is just one person's opinion on what *she* finds to be classy or elegant. I don't think there is just one way to be classy or elegant (how boring).
😂😂😂😂
And she is …..quite boring and stricte and so focused to look elegant that she loses spontaneity that to me is much more elegant than a Chanel bag.
Being classy and elegant is natural. Whether you have one an entire logo Gucci outfit or a tea dress and top hat like a royal. Look at Paris Hilton. She is old money and when you look at her she wears a lot of brands and just looks like old money no matter what she wears.
@@SamLA342 Her sister Nicky is a better example of old money.
Yes she’s very basic herself. The underlying jabs of “ boring Betty”. Yes not elegant at all.
It would be more helpful to see which bags are a save classy choice as well
Hobi makes me happy i assume she shares this in her finishing school, but she doesn’t like to actually give examples which annoys a majority of her followers. personally, i enjoy her content as entertainment because some of her advise doesn’t ring true to my friends and i.
@@AlejandraElisabet, actually she does at times mention best/better options. If you follow all of her videos, you would have heard some she has mentioned before :)
DMLK CS i haven’t been watching her for a long time so i haven’t checked but thank you for telling me. her style doesn’t align exactly with mine but i do agree that classic fashion is incredibly beautiful.
Chanel( The classic double flap is just perfect), Dior( the lady dior especially but they do have some other beautiful and classy designs ), Hermès(birkins and kellys) , Dolce and gabanna(especially the box bags cuz they're soooo expensive and they scream affluence, the sicily bag is simple and beautiful too.) And what makes these bags even more amazing, is that most of them hold their value if you ever wanna resell them, in fact birkins and kellys and the classic double flap in the jumbo size only increase in value so they're a great investment to make.
Also I love your username haha 😍😍
How miserable ppl must be to judge ppl based on bags they carry. What a miserable existance
I don’t think the never full is supposed to be an elegant bag. It’s like a work bag, no?
more like a grocery bag to me the first time i see it, till now. Cant help it
I use it for work classes etc travel
It’s an unspoken dig at others saying you can afford to dish out a specific amount of money on a bag YOU LIKE (see: it’s OK to like the bag) that others cannot afford. Unfortunately she is right: it’s gotten to the point where there are so many knockoffs that the thrill is gone. And most of the wealthy women I know would never carry one. I said forget it and bought a black leather Calvin Klein tote. You can’t even see the logo. It carries all of my junk and I’m happy. I can afford a LV tote but I didn’t think it was wise because everyone has one and it’s not unique anymore. It’s over saturated the market.
Not even a decent workbag. The straps are so thin, it hurts you if you carry a laptop in it
I use it to carry papers for work. I bring a handbag with it, usually YSL or Gucci.
All bags listed can be elegant and classy it just depends on the person who wears them.
And how they are styled with the outfit.
so true!
I agree
If you're going to disagree why even watch? Your comments scream just how basic you are.
@@MsTakiH Doesn't your comment scream the same thing then?
You're changing my life. I choose elegant outfits, handbags, shoes, coats.. even in pants. I loved wearing jeans but now I just wear them for University.
I'm more confident now. I act elegant around my crush that he is from a very high society family, and every time he see's me he looks at me in a good way.
I act elegant and I actually really feel like a little elegant lady. Thank you so much Anna.
Omg sameee
🙄
I am very happy being a "basic plain Jane". Life is so much more than a bag.
Same lol and in reverse it would be worse if I didn’t buy what I liked just because people told me it was overplayed or made me plain. I’m not the type of person that looks to stand out. I’d rather not. So I have no problem with blending in with the basic bitches of America 😂 i have a personality that people can get to know if they think I’m plain I could really careless
Since when is calling other people "basic" or "Plain Jane" classy or elegant? 🤔
Elegant bags tend to be structured, plain and rather boring armcrook or shoulder bag, or they're just a clutch envelope.
Jane lol 😂 this is the best comment I’ve read all day 😆 😆
This woman is very superficial.
Aquarius Rising I totally agree with you , it's really sad criticising ...I'm out of here
Right
I've had the pleasure of being in the company of 'old money' and truly affluent people, even though I personally am nowhere close. One of the things I noticed is that if they like or believe in a product they will talk about it. If they dislike something- they will rather say nothing. They do not trash it and are very considerate of the fact that not everyone has it, and strive to not offend. In fact, they are stoically silent about the difference between rich and poor when they are with people on a different level to them. The new rich or the 'trying to appear rich', have no such qualms.
I love her videos, but she is clearly not born into affluence (as she is vocal about to be fair.)
Some people just want to insult the middle class gals who purchase their first luxury bags
by calling them "plain Jane" repeatedly
@@chinguyen2302 absolutely.
Yes, I am not affluent myself, I am just a 15 years old daddy's brat (kind of) but looking forward to be elegant someday, Anna has also spoken about her journey and how much she improved

well now.. this changes everything. Anna needs to restructure her whole business and school of affluence quick.
Is it possible to buy sonething that look elegant, but not necessarily expensive? I dont like to spend too much on items that I dont really need.
Please show examples on what looks elegant.
I think that's what French ladies are so good at 😊
Ditto
Yes of course think class not trendy
I'm french and I agree with you we like to buy elegant bags for affordable prices. I'm actually a fashion youtuber and a fashion designer so I love looking for the perfect clothes and accessories if you want help 😘
There is Furla which is a classic brand more affordable than the very famous designer ones (in my country at least). I just bought for myself the bag Diva in black for around 450€ as a gift. It is still very expensive but it can be a good compromise between the high street shops and the designer brands.
I never liked Louis Vuitton bags, and their logo
Me too girl
Angie A me too i personally think they look like cheap plastic.
Agree 🙄, I tried too but couldn’t luv the bag!👜
Same here
Yes. I will never buy LV as a first designer bag. Or probably never at all...
I honestly think a girl in a simple white t shirt and jeans looks more elegant than someone wearing monogram anything.
Agreed. 👍🤗
Agreed - visible logos take too much attention
Yup 👍🏾
Absolutely.
What about Lilly Pulitzer?
Audrey Hepburn carries Louis Vuitton bag. I think she’s very elegant women
Coach went through some dark days with the monogram canvas bags, but someone at Coach is really turning around the boat. The new leather bags look nice.
LizintheATL Yes I agree! They have stepped up their game!
Agree! Oh, I hated those canvas monogram bags, yet it seemed like almost everyone was carrying one. Why?:))
Agreed! I’m really liking their simple black bag. Probably not so much elegant as a well made, long lasting and more affordable purse for the “working class.”
The rogue and Cassie brought back to Coach.... and I’m that “basic” LV, Balenciaga, Mulberry gal!
I bought a leather Coach handbag last year from Macy’s and it is holding up amazingly! I wore it the whole spring and summer and it still looks like new.
I think if you like the bag just buy it.... don't let anyone tell you what to wear ❤ i like lv monogram and it is really beautiful i don't care if there are too many replicas cause i buy the bag for myself not to impress others
Sara K so do i.
Agree🤷♀️

💯 agree! I really don't find the ones with a heart at the back classy at all. Very juvenile and saturated and don't hold value at all imo.

The tackiest brand out there
Maybe, because she actually owns a black Gucci Marmont bag ;)
I agree with you. I would love to see your recommendations of elegant handbags, as I am starting my collection, at this time in my life. Thank you so much Anna.
I agree. Classic elegance never goes out of style. Too many purse brands are trying to get attention by being radical and attention getting in a bad way. If a purse design has been around for decades then it probably is time tested and should not go out of fashion anytime soon.
I do not want a bag that everybody wants or carries. No matter how trendy, expensive or popular it is.

From what I gleaned from the video, simple, classic and “as under the radar as possible” bags are the way to go.
Go for Chanel. You can never go wrong with Chanel.
For me I respect a woman who buys a high quality purse from a little known manufacturer (which requires a bit of research to find) who offers great designs at a fair price...and does not have some loud tacky logo on it.

I've owned the *rrcopys* tote for years and it still looks as beautiful as the day I bought it. The craftsmanship and durability of these bags is truly impressive. There are so many styles and colors of their bags to choose from!
Finally! 🙌🏻Someone honest about brands. I thought I was the only one who doesn’t like those bag doesn’t matter how expensive they are. I went to Colombia 🇨🇴 South America and I was crazy in love with the quality, leather and design in those bags, some of them handmade, different and unique. Every place where I go in US people just fall in love with my bag. Additionally, there is a brand Nancy Gonzalez, a Colombian brand available in Saks Fifth Avenue in US, absolutely gorgeous!
Diana Catalina Córdoba Tabares nancy was in BG also and loewe - the leather on those bags are so buttery

I'd love to see a video about elegant budget handbags or things to look for in a handbag that make them classy and timeless.
Some may disagree with me, but I have a closet full of Aldo bags, the average price is $55 and they are my most complimented bags amongst all types of women when I am in public. I have a bag to match every outfit so spending hundreds on a bag isn't worth it for me.
What I like about many of their bags, is they last and overall look better than many expensive bags.
Don't knock coach their bags are made better than Louis and Gucci!!! That new Burberry print is HIDEOUS.

Yvonne Sullivan Yes. This seems so superficial. I get tips from Anna’s channel, but I don’t like the “ I gotta look expensive “ vibe.
It's kind of sad that women think they need a designer handbag to define themselves as affluent. Airheads do that and women with any education in finance know how to invest their money and it sure isn't in some silly handbag.
Bravo!

Preach!!
While I agree with a lot of the things you said, I believe there is a bag for every person/outfit. Yes, the Neverfull is very lax, but it works for a diaper bag and for going to workout or being more casual. It all depends on where you are in your life. I personally don't care what others think, and I buy things that catch my eye (and I rock them too). But yes, I do like buying bags that will never go out of style such as (some of the) Chanel bags.
Also, I just want to say that clothes/bags and money can't buy class. I've been around many wealthy/affluent people and they are just like regular people; the good, the bad and the ugly. Lol.
Growing up, I never understood why my mother never bought designer bags when she could easily afford them. As an adult, I now understand that an elegant lady of means feels no need to become a billboard in order to be accepted by strangers.
Very well said. Thanks
Very true.
everyone has different priorities whether they are poor or rich. it's not about wealth
of means or not, but definitely agree with the rest

I love my Birken. It’s practical, large, and can be dressed up or down and it’s a classic that never goes out of style. Plus, calling people plain Jane and Juvenile is a poor example of classy.
Kathleen watkins 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I feel like it’s not classy to judge people and assume they aren’t classy by what they carry around and all her videos seem really judge mental and putting people down saying you can’t be classy if you do this
Kathleen watkins well put !
If I had the money, I would deffinetly own a birkin.
But I don't so H&M it is for me 😂
Birkin lady, it's a Birkin...
Please could you share possible elegant handbags from more affordable brands rather than just Chanel or Hermes.
Kamille Choudhury yet still Chanel classic flap, for example, also screams that too many people wear it, too many fakes plus it looks like a grandma bag (No offence if someone likes it).
Ash Mary I agree. It has become an It girl bag with them taking it to clubs and parties. Dancing on the dance floor with Chanel handbags.
The variety of textures in the *topluxs* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
1. The dress is stunning on you! (Color and fit)
2 great video- very eye opening!
Thanks Anna!
Nicole Parry this dress is amazing on Anna indeed!!!
The anger and annoyance that you have about these bags is palpable.
Yes I've noticed that she's defo not very impartial here, it's like her opinions are driven by emotion.
I’m conflicted with this video. I think many women have their own style (edgy, feminine, boho, ect) and they can still make outfits look really fashion forward and classy. Most women who can afford these bags have multiple designer bags to style with outfits 🤷🏼♀️ to each their own
Using slurs to bring women down is NOT classy.
Also, ladies, I know I am always in the comments talking about how I am one of the ones that can afford things and travel in affluent circles, but that does not mean I cant improve myself!!!!!! No matter how "perfect" we may seem, there is always room for improvement, whether that be in clothing, in the body, and most importantly to me in the mind and personality!!! That is why I watch Anna!!!! We can always improve!! We are NEVER done learning and growing!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍
Love to all of you and have a wonderful weekend wherever you may be!!!!
Amy P and Dirty too well said! I agree
I don’t buy bags for elegance. I buy what I like! Logos here, logos there! Buy what you love!
Facts
Yessss 🙌🏼
MissLucky87 that part
I agree just have fun with design and make it a passion of yours. I love interior decorating does that mean I’m pretentious for beautifying my home?
Elegance and class is a STATE OF MIND
Natashea Yes. it starts within, but it also has to show without. 💞
Forrest Whittaker’s Eye I hear you and that state of mind should make it show on the outside but a bag isn’t a determinant
True but elegance reflects on the outside with how you carry yourself & what you wear. It has a huge role in it.
Designer bags are for people who want to show off & do what everyone else is doing. There's nothing wrong with what she said in this video, if you don't like her content don't even spend your time commenting. Watch another channel that you would find more enjoyable :)
Reema Amar we can agree to disagree, we all enjoy different things and spend our own money the way we see fit. I personally don’t buy designer bags to show off. I like the stories, heritage and craftsmanship that are behind some of the bags and it’s no different than anyone else who collects things that fascinate them. 🤷🏾♀️, I just get to use mine on a daily basis.
I don’t think she’s talking about what you can or cannot buy. This is simply her advice on which bags she considers elegant & what bags she thinks someone should go for if they want to look classy. But yes, we all have our opinions & we can surely agree to disagree
Very interesting comments! When Anna said Speedy, my heart cried a little. Audrey Hepburn, a legend who impressed the world with her elegance and simplicity carried speedy. I agree with the ladies who have mentioned here that it's how we carry ourselves matter the most.
There are A LOT of fake Chanel’s out there too
Omg! Yes and they look so authentic. I can't tell the difference anymore
Yep
I have worked over 8 years at LVMH and I love the heritage and tradition that the monogram represents. It is true the Neverfull has seen amazing success. But i think it depends on how you wear it. LV has been making active efforts to gravitate towards leather bags creating their icons. But as the travel experts they are nothing is as carefree as a canvas monogram bag. I would say rock it for travel, casual ocassions and as a shopper and you should be fine.
Hello. Would you recommend me getting the carry on luggage?
I agree! I love the LV monogram, it’s a classic. It makes me happy and that’s all that matters in my opinion.
True, I find the Neverfull great for travel and functional purposes and to be honest looks better when “bashed around” a little bit!
The Neverfull is great for travel!
nia mc I totally agree! And also love Anna and her videos too 😃
I agree with the LV bags, I can’t stand them too.
Basic Betty... never heard that before, lol
Me too.
I dislike the brown poopy background and the LV on top so much
LV bags are “new money” bags. You show your ignorance with money immediately with this brand.
@@Makeupandfashion-l2q Never been a fan of any printed logos-Coach gags me. It all looks cheap. "Oh, look at me. I have a $300 bag". Who cares?
I have been wearing LV sinds the early 1970 and are fed up with it.
I bought a small bucket bag in beige from Cuoieria Fiorentina and it still looks new after 3 years. Never heard of them? Exactly! That's elegance, high quality, no logo, without being an advert billboard.
Class is learned extremely early on in life,it is developed with a good education. Class has nothing to do with glitz and glamour.
I think you maybe missing the point of what she's trying to say. She is trying to prepare us for socializing within that circle. If that is something you want to do. They will judge you based on the items you own, unless you can handle being different she's just showing you how to fit in.
Anna, this dress makes you look like a Queen of elegance ❤️
@@fylgia8567 It looks very elegant and it is perfect for the day. This is not a good outfit for a tuxedo party, she would look pretty but under dressed.
@@fylgia8567 do you have any sense of fashion. That dress is formal and can fit any formal event. You are the last person any of us shall get fashion tips from
The irony is a lot of high society women wear Goyard bags that look exactly like the IKEA shopping bag
And what does this tell us?😄
True 😹
@@sassydoe9407 get an IKEA bag.
😂😂😂
Lol!!
Your closet is simple a dream! Not just the *gtdupe* bags but the ready to wear that you have is absolutely stunning.
Disclaimer. Don't be offended
1. The balenciaga classic logo bag
2. The Louis vuitton never full bag
3. The Louis vuitton monogram bag
4. Prada handbags
5. Chloe bags
6. Valentino handbags
7. Burberry handbags
It's neverfull not never fold
Here’s an idea. Don’t like the bag, don’t wear them. Easy-peasy. Wear what you want and don’t care about what others think. ✌🏽
edit: And as for Louis Vuitton being trashy, please refer to the late Lady Diana who happily rocked her monogram Toiletry 19 under her arm back in the 90’s.
yessss!! she was iconic for that period. The monogram bags will never go out of style!
Am I the only one who can't afford designer bags ??
Wasnae me🙋🏾♀️ I am perfectly happy with my black, leather market tote from Everlane.
@@spowell5997 I simply buy bags from any shop as long as they look nice that's all I care abt for now.
So not worth spending $100-$500. Best thing is go to ROSS or tjmaxx etc.
I find all of mine at thrift stores, then I take them to get authenticated! 😉 Nothing but success so far!
I can’t afford designer and don’t want designer. I like quality, , elegance, convenience, without logo. And I don’t want to “ look expensive “! Where do you suggest I shop?
His LYXBAG tote is beautifully colored, very sturdy and the perfect size. Not too small, not too big. I look forward to joining my rotation.
Hi, in my opinion it's better if you could teach how to be classy and elegant with a normal or even low budget. It's pretty easy to be elegant and classy if you have so much money to spend it on brands. Just go in a shop and take the stuff from the "shopwindow". By the way I love so much how you put the focus on feminity, in clothing as in the attitude. Much hugs 🍀
It’s absolutely possible to look classy and elegant on a budget she probably doesn’t have the where with all to be able to suggest inexpensive ways to achieve the same look.
No matter the money... Really I believe beyond the brand's names...(A sure value is (you). To be aligned with yourself and express as most possible your inner beauty, if you you can reach to synchronise your self, you will shine! You energy will carry it self, where and ever you want to use it. I do appreciate following Anna's tutorials. I certainty hope I understood her teaching, so far!!! At least I sincerely feel more and more confident about my self..
@@edennis8578 thank you so much for your comment. I have done that and since I cannot afford expensive garments I got myself a very talent taylor I have my clothes done by her. I invest on high quality fabrics ( most natural as possible) and just mimic the clothings that high end are delivering. I am building my wadrobre little by little and feeling good everyday.
She has videos on this
Well said I was thinking the same thing
Do women/men really look at others handbags and say “Omg, she’s so not classy!” 😂😂🤦🏽♀️ What is a classy bag?
They do believe or not. Well they don’t really say they are not classy but they can really tell when someone looks cheap( by that I don’t mean cheap of as price)
Judgemental people do unfortunately.
Yes, I had girl friends from upper class who always said that, making fun of women wearing some LV bags or Michael Kors
Yes in our minds. Esp so many embellishments. 😬
Since this word ( claasy ) is not important for me. I never ever would analyze if that bag or that woman are classy. If I like bag or style that's all it matters.
I think that Chanel and Hermés made their bags so expensive that when someone like me (who is broke) wheres them you would immediately know it’s fake. Because people who are middle class or below cant afford these bags. So the replica won’t be selling that good
Chanel is 3k, Prada is 3k
*costs exactly The same*
Middle class people can absolutely get a Chanel you just have to save
So credit doesn't exist in your world? Many middle-class people pay for these designer bags over time. Only people with crappy credit scores don't get those 0 % APR offers lol.
