When Alice post recommendations, I listen. She knows her stuff. A lot of Parisians do not use super expensive bags. I saw people using Fleuron when I was in Paris.
I have one *suluxy* bag I got in 2019, it's the LV white catogram speedy. It's counter quality and it has a nice honey patina now, so the leather is real. I think whatever makes you happy go for it. I've seen LV with plastic leather and blood red glaze...
What I am afraid of is when all these mid luxury bags are bought en masse because of social media, it will become like all our luxury brands: nothing special anymore 😢
I think these brands change their designs sooner than the mainstream top luxury brands, so they retire and offer new special designs more often. I’ve missed out on some Tory Burch models and they didnt bring them back. IMO
I've always loved Furla!! I am so glad that it's finally getting some attention again. Thanks! those are all great choices. The Basile Le Mini Rosa is probably my favorite.
I really appreciate the *suluxy* bag. The quality of the bag is also very good, the embroidery stitching is good, and the interior is neat. This is a great find!
My latest bags are from Coccinelle, Fleuron and Longchamp. For the price of the 3 bags combined, I could have bought a small Prada bag or YSL… but I love the affordable luxury bags so much!! 🩶🩷
Great video again! I own Polene, Basile and many more. Just got a new Coach Hadley in suede Espresso , delicious ! And Eliza shoulder bag(also Coach) in bold red, very nice and crazy $149 !!!!❤😊 Thank you, Alice!
My most beautiful, most worn and most complimented bags are my French bags! Excellent quality and unique! Polene, Le Tanneur, Basile and Le Pourchet. Love them all and wear them every day🥰
I have a couple of Radleys (English brand) - the quality is exceptional even down to magnetic closers being covered in leather. I’ve had 2 for 4 years and purchased a cross body this year. I doubt I need any further bags for the next 4-5 years
Hi Alice, You’ve chosen some wonderful bags once again. I have bought a few bags now because of you, and I’m happy with all of them. My next purchase will be the FURLA SFERA SOFT bag. Love the decor of your home, and your adorable Fall/Halloween decor. 😊
Many thanks Alice for this bag update. I am so happy for the few but such beautiful bags and qualitatively amazingly nice bags that I bought this year, guided by your good advice! So appreciated; and now, as a retired "fasionista person" I wouldn't even dream of buying an overpriced designer bag.. However, I have saved a small Prada bag! That's all. Maybe one day I'll buy another beautiful bag.. who knows, but I stick rigidly to "slow fashion principles" these days! I consider that to be a good thing to consider in this context. And these nice bags, which more and more people seem to prefer, I see as an important part of the principle - where, above all, craftmanship and good quality of beautiful bags take precedence over a certain brand.
I had the big Lee Radziwill and it was so heavy to wear that I sold it. Had also some Polene bags and sold also all but one because the were not Practical. Also I had a little liffner but it was wide open that I sold that🤣 I have a bag from Furla and had some more in the past. Same coccinelle and coach🤣 I like to test new things out from time to time. I can recommend to check the brands Aigner, Wandler and Liebeskind Berlin.
I love this video and all your suggestions. I just have one comment to make, these crossbody bags with the gold buckles in the front --- the buckles scratch!!! I have one, and I heard that was a pain. I am really careful with mine, but it has still happened. I am concerned how it will look over time. From now on, I am going to be very thoughtful how the hardware will wear.
It means higher priced lower quality items. I just got my Cyme delivered last week, so am thankful the price paid (mind is still high as I live in a country that puts high prices on international purchases) was not ridiculous
I got my Cyme last week. I inspected every nook and cranny, perfectly formed bag. Mind, once LVMH get their grubby mitts on the production side, I will expect low quality crap items

I agree. Alice knows what she is talking about and her tips and comments are very useful.

I agree with you; all her recommendations are precise and elegant, and they absolutely stand the test of time.
the rich stay rich for a reason *suluxy*
I own Fleuron mini Swan handbag and it is the most sweet and practical bag. I love watching Alice videos and she gives the best advise. Well done!

some of them are very old and not mainstream like Furla or Coccinelle..
The manufacturers are making these bags with similar appearance, and not the quality. They feel different and do not hold up as well.

Manufacturers can reproduce them in appearance but not the quality. They feel different in the hand and do not hold up like the original.
@@mlight7402I have a Kate Spade that has outlasted my epi leather LV and the Kate Spade still looks like new.

When it comes to bags, you are the best. Thank you
I can recommend Aspinall bags to British ladies. Excellent quality and many different styles and made here in England.
I have a couple of Radleys (English brand) - the quality is exceptional even down to magnetic closers being covered in leather. I’ve had 2 for 4 years and purchased a cross body this year. I doubt I need any further bags for the next 4-5 years
Radleys are made in India
Nice and useful video, love it!! I agree that Furla is underrated, they have so beautiful bags.

I ❤Coccinelle. Their bags are really good quality. Good job Alice with this video ❤

I like Demelier
Alice, you have a fantastic eye for style. So happy I found you! Merci beaucoup mon ami! From northern California.
Your chocolate colored jacket is gorgeous! Can you please share the brand? 😍❤️❤️❤️

What about Demellier?
GREAT AS ALWAYS ALICE!!!!
SO GLAD THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO AN OFFICE NOW!!!!
LOVE TO YOU, AND PETS TO NAPO!!!!
Great video, love to hear about all these new brands. Merci…..🤗🇨🇦

Thanks for introducing these bags. Can you share the weight of the mini Rosa bag? Thank you!
Les sacs à main Chanel, c'est fini !!! Qualité trop chère et réduite. Les augmentations de coûts de ces dernières années se retournent contre eux.
Great video!
I hope Basile bag will expand their shipping to worldwide destinations
Bonjour Alice. J’ai le mini Rosa et le Polène No 9 que j’adore même s’il est parfois difficile d’y retrouver ses affaires.
Beautiful bags!
Great options.
Why not putting the brand names in the description?
Any insight on Michino Paris, Stow London, or MIUUR? Thank you.
Does Basile have any stores in Paris? I only saw the Versailles showroom online
no only in versailles
Hi Alice! What size Polene Cyme bag did you try on? ❤
medium size
Brilliant 🎉
Any thoughts about Piquadro?
A private equity firm owned by LVMH has bought a stake in Polene. What does that mean for the brand??
it will be the next louis vuitton :)
It means higher priced lower quality items. I just got my Cyme delivered last week, so am thankful the price paid (mind is still high as I live in a country that puts high prices on international purchases) was not ridiculous
Coach bags are not really considered good quality unless buying vintage Coach made in the US, Turkey and Costa Rica.
Bags really don't need to be so expensive
Sad truth about Furla: the bags are made in eastern Europe or china
The inside of a 2 furla bags I had disintegrated.They use cheap material on inside . Made in Italy. My L.V. bags have held up better.
The mini basile is very small
I heard it’s bigger than it looks. Kim Bedene has a review.
I’m afraid the quality of Polene hand bags is no longer quite as it should be. Buyer beware.
I got my Cyme last week. I inspected every nook and cranny, perfectly formed bag. Mind, once LVMH get their grubby mitts on the production side, I will expect low quality crap items
Chanel bags will never be over. Ridiculous.
