Pochette Métis is my favourite crossbody of all time, I have three. Just goes to show people have different quirks and likes. It's optimal to try out a bag for a few days before buying it so maybe this luxury bag renting by month isn't a bad idea after all.
Agree....I just bought a 2nd Pochette Métis based on how functional it is. It is far better, and holds more than the Celine Teen Triomphe, which is quite a bit smaller, my Céline box bag, and is on par with my small Loewe Puzzle.
Pochette Métis is one of the best cross body bags in my opinion. I found it to be such a practical bag, however, I ended up selling mine because I’m over LV.
I am thinking of buying the reverse pouchette matisse. I saw a lady with one that looked so so old and color faded or something. How has yours held up?
The best of all is Pochette Metis! I have it in reverse monogram and it is fabulous! You don’t even see it in a lot of people. It is so practical and durable bag!! ❤
I am so glad I gave this channel a 2nd chance! I previously skipped it because I got snob-vibes from her thumbnails. Wow! Was I wrong! She is now on my Top 5 luxury bag channels! I’m on video #4 for my binge night! I’ve enjoyed every minute! I love her accent, her knowledge, her taste, her collection, and she seems like a super nice person! Anyone know her name? I’m looking forward to continuing my binge-watch all weekend while my husband is out of town! Thank you for being a new favorite! ❤💕🤗😍
I think the Celine Belt Bag should be on your list, I have it in pico size and it‘s perfect for a very small crossbody bag. One other thing, too many LV bags why ?
I have a LV 30 Bandouliere which I bought in Paris 8 years ago . Used to own a Dior Saddle, quite bulky & heavy. LC is still the best, lightweight, easy to maintain.
Great video !! And good advice to think of when purchasing at any price point! I personally avoid chain straps and also handles that stick up as mentioned - as well as bulky over the shoulder bags, or using crossbody as an evening bag. That eliminates a lot, but makes purchasing so much easier!! 😆So I have a clutch or two, a small modest crossbody and a few totes. I concentrate on the leather I like and avoid impulse buys as much as poss. 🤓
I'd recommend the TOM FORD Tara bag! It has a wide, webbed strap that ensures there will be no shoulder discomfort when wearing it for too long (as opposed to those bags with skinny leather straps).
I love your videos, Steph.❤You're knowledgeable & you share the info so well! That Bottega Camera Bag is SO good!📸But my fave is the Chanel Business Affinity Bag, so much prettier than the new Chanel Flap bag IMO.🤩🌻
Hi good information! I was surprised about the LV Neo Noé bag, I am 160 cm/5’3” and I love wearing it crossbody. Love it holds a water bottle and it doesn’t roll around. Maybe my strap is shorter 🤔
What size is your Chanel Affinity flap? Also what size is the inside out neverfull with the crossbody strap that you are discussing and recommending in this video specifically?
Love this bc I have all the "NOs" except the Dior Saddle and these are VERY valid points ya'll. I still love and use ALL of of them the but for CROSSBODY function Steph is right! (although my empreinte Metis works great for me) Really consider the functionality if that's what you are in need of. I also have 3 of the "YES" bags listed and they truly are so useful for everyday crossbody options 🥰
This the first handbag video I could agree today. I want hug that Loewe. I love love love those Le Pliages. So classy, easy to clean and quiet. What I personally disliked are LV Alma bb and MJ snap. First one hurts. You can’t get your hands in the purse without a scratch. Snapshot is nice, but if you are petite it is always in a wrong place. Hitting your hips and actually hurting you.
Just bought the Times Square Shoulder bag from Coach and OMG! Can’t put it down, it’s lightweight, soft, beautiful and I’m not afraid of scratching. Plus I don’t worry about being targeted on the street. Highly suggest if you want an everywhere carry.
Well done on the rising subbie number 🏆 I love the saddle, but I think it looks best when carried just over the shoulder I have worn the Speedy 30 xbody, it works for me and I am not tall. I like the coussin Xbody too “different strokes for different folks”
I love and adore my Ralph Lauren bag that I got on sale at Dillards nearly 8 years ago now! It still as perfect as the day I started using it. And I use it nearly every day, I will switch to a different bag thinking I want a new style. But they fail in comparison to my RL! It was $100 and the best purchase I have ever made. Its black leather with red inside, snap closure. I love Ralph Lauren so why dont you do a video on that brand?
I do like the Chanel single flap in the jumbo size as a crossbody. I agree they don’t look right on everyone but I am a plus size so the proportions work well on me. I don’t like the medium or the small worn crossbody. Having a bag shoved up under lefty isn’t a good look, although a lot of people do it.
I have the pochette Métis and I wear it all the time. I’m sure I put too much inside. But I still wear it. My husband bought me the Louis Vuitton Reporter bag at an estate sale. It’s a heavy bag. But it holds more. Whoever owned it got one side of the strap fixed. While I was carrying it, the other side broke. So I need to take it and get it fixed. We found a place about an hour away to go have it fixed. I love the Celine bag. It is nice. But the DeMellier is more in my budget. Well, I love the Bottega camera bag too. Too bad I’m not a millionaire. I would have one of each.
i had an Hermes Constance 21 and I felt like I fought with it every time I wore it. You cant set ithe bag down because it flops forward and it takes two hands to open and close and the H clasp svcatches easily IMO.. I'm not sure if the Constance 18 is any better- I would love input:)
Some bags make you have new looking , not always for crossbody at all. You like eating 1 kind of food, not meant you should not try other kinds. Some people like wearing bag at shoulders for elegance & party or just walk in restaurant & bar. It depends on what you like & taste. If you have no affordable to buy many bags as you want, then you can consider which best bag of your budget.
LV Coussin is still my go to bag. Fits a lot and I don't have to be gentle with it, unlike Celine's Triomphe (sadly my samsung ultra phone with casing doesn't fit into Teen)
The layout of the Coussin is so cumbersome, and it does not seem to add to the style. I just do not get the concept with it. I am a fan of the Reverse Pochette Metis for inclement weather days or active days, but the strap can be a bit annoying with the stiffness of it. The tips you gave are great.
If I had to do it over again I wouldn’t have bought the Chanel Classic Flap. I’m petite and the chain still isn’t long enough to wear crossbody so I leave it at home anytime I’m doing a day trip or traveling
My favorite crossbody are Chanel minis I have mines for years and they are my go to always. Babe the Chanel classic claps were never designed to crossbody they are shoulder feminine classic bags, so I don’t get why ppl keep trying to wear a bag that is not meant for crossbody as one 🤦🏼♀️. I am petite and I wear my small classics only if is an emergency but only for a moment, other wise I wear the minis as crossbody ones. 😊
You just contradicted yourself with the Chanel Classic Flap as worst because of the unadjustable chain strap but then the Chanel Business Affinity is part of the best eventhough the chain strap is unadjustable as well? I don’t think it is fair that these bags are classified as Best vs Worst because of the unadjustable chain strap for crossbody bags because it depends on one’s height and how it sits on one’s body.
Hey. Thanks for the comment. Yes I did contradict but the classic flap is designed to be a shoulder bag and they are infamous for having chain straps that are too short to crossbody or far too long. The BA however is a purpose made crossbody, so generally the strap length works better but definitely worth trying before buying.
Lets be frank: if you’re thicker, tall or bigger boobs crossbody bags need to be longer and if you’re shorter you need adjustable to shorten. Flat chests seem to work best w crossbody?
Your channel is like tv shopping channel, you must have have marketing background. You should get a job at TV shopping Channel. This bag promises everything and you will not be disappointed viewers 😂
Pochette Métis is my favourite crossbody of all time, I have three. Just goes to show people have different quirks and likes. It's optimal to try out a bag for a few days before buying it so maybe this luxury bag renting by month isn't a bad idea after all.
Me, too! It’s a perfect travel bag. So secure and holds my passport and other essential items. 😎🌺🍍
Agree....I just bought a 2nd Pochette Métis based on how functional it is. It is far better, and holds more than the Celine Teen Triomphe, which is quite a bit smaller, my Céline box bag, and is on par with my small Loewe Puzzle.
It’s my favourite too. I have two of them.
Métis is one the best for me too…
I want a whole video of "bags with a large pocket on the front"! I have been looking for one for ages. Thanks for the recs 🥰
You influenced me to buy the LV Odion last year; I wouldn’t have even looked at it if I hadn’t seen you show it. Thanks so much; I love it!!!
@@ellenmerkle940I love mine too! Have it for 2 years now and still looks amazing
Pochette Métis is one of the best cross body bags in my opinion. I found it to be such a practical bag, however, I ended up selling mine because I’m over LV.
I replaced it with a very similar shaped one from Coach and love it even more!
Gentle and integrated into the secular, low-key and not lost in the crowd. *hotdups*
I think the YSL camera bag should be on the best bag list.
I love my reverse pochette metis. I been using non stop last 5 yrs!
I am thinking of buying the reverse pouchette matisse. I saw a lady with one that looked so so old and color faded or something. How has yours held up?
Love your cropped top! Very stylish.
Thank you!!
The best of all is Pochette Metis! I have it in reverse monogram and it is fabulous! You don’t even see it in a lot of people. It is so practical and durable bag!! ❤
The Soho Disco is an enduring favourite! 🤩
I am so glad I gave this channel a 2nd chance! I previously skipped it because I got snob-vibes from her thumbnails. Wow! Was I wrong! She is now on my Top 5 luxury bag channels!

I love wearing my Dior saddles crossbody!
Totally disagree about the pochete metis!! I love it❤
Steph, thank you for this video. I ❤ it. It's so helpful. ❤
I'm so glad!
You got me addicted to the designer exchange … love this shop and got to know about this because of you ♥️♥️
Pochette métis is the best useful bag I never had, always travelling with
I think the Celine Belt Bag should be on your list, I have it in pico size and it‘s perfect for a very small crossbody bag. One other thing, too many LV bags why ?
Agreed! I am guessing LV because of the perception of luxury.
I love my new Fendi By The Way in Selleria. The feeling and flexibility is wonderful. 🥰
I love the Loewe fold bag.
It looks easy to wear and just a little different.
Love the Celine bag but is scared of scratches!
Longchamp is Amazing, love it. Have so many of them ❤❤❤
I’ve had my Pochette Métis reverse monogram for 5 years one of my best purchases ever!
I have twin LV Oxford bags (one black and one brown) because I LOVE it so much! I tried loving the pouchette Métis and it just felt cheap😬
LV Bologne bag is very similar to the Odeon PM and a definite favourite ❤
I have a LV 30 Bandouliere which I bought in Paris 8 years ago . Used to own a Dior Saddle, quite bulky & heavy. LC is still the best, lightweight, easy to maintain.
Just love your new Celine ❤❤❤, the quality of the leather & hardware looks amazing 🤩.
Yes to the Speedy B 30 for crossbody! I don’t find it bulky. It’s a fantastic bag. Co grats on your new bag!
I have the Celine cross body bag in red and used it last year from Thanksgiving to Valentine's Day and just love it!
Great video !! And good advice to think of when purchasing at any price point! I personally avoid chain straps and also handles that stick up as mentioned - as well as bulky over the shoulder bags, or using crossbody as an evening bag.

the celine teen triomphe is so pretty but looks like it can be easily scratched?
Does the Celine Teen Triomph leather scratch easily?
Omg thank you for highlighting this: I hate having handles on the way when I wear a bag crossbody 😂
Hi good information! I was surprised about the LV Neo Noé bag, I am 160 cm/5’3” and I love wearing it crossbody. Love it holds a water bottle and it doesn’t roll around. Maybe my strap is shorter 🤔

Love my Pochette bag it’s red leather and it’s perfect as a crossbody for me
Great video
Oh that BV bag is just wonderful 😍😊and if course the VC LePliage.
Love this bc I have all the "NOs" except the Dior Saddle and these are VERY valid points ya'll. I still love and use ALL of of them the but for CROSSBODY function Steph is right!

Prada has nice crossbody bags too especially if you like carefree nylon and no monogram.
I love it that you are helping me making more value conscius choices.
No YSL? Is Ysl out of favor?
This the first handbag video I could agree today. I want hug that Loewe. I love love love those Le Pliages. So classy, easy to clean and quiet. What I personally disliked are LV Alma bb and MJ snap.

Hi Steph, love your trousers that you are wearing to show the yellow saddle bag at about 5.20 in. Where are they from? ❤
Thank you! They are 3.1 Phillip Lim high waist trousers
Just bought the Times Square Shoulder bag from Coach and OMG! Can’t put it down, it’s lightweight, soft, beautiful and I’m not afraid of scratching. Plus I don’t worry about being targeted on the street. Highly suggest if you want an everywhere carry.
Is the le pilage waterproof?
I managed to get my hands on the LV Odeon MM size last year. Best purchase ever. Thanks for the recommendation Steph
Hi! can you do one on bumbags/sling bags?
Love my LV Oxford, got it when it first came out ❤
Well done on the rising subbie number 🏆
I love the saddle, but I think it looks best when carried just over the shoulder
I have worn the Speedy 30 xbody, it works for me and I am not tall.
I like the coussin Xbody too “different strokes for different folks”
Hi. I love your channel. What are your thoughts on the Hermes Evelyne crossbody?
What do you think about Goyard?
I have the Oxford and i love it.
I have the energy large tote bag. Love it so much it’s my work back and I have it in the full black too 😊
Steph ,what do you think about the LV Boulogne? It’s not that popular. ❤️
I so enjoy your channel. Thank you!
I have an unrelated question. Your eye makeup is fabulous. Would you mind sharing the products or do a tutorial?
I love and adore my Ralph Lauren bag that I got on sale at Dillards nearly 8 years ago now! It still as perfect as the day I started using it. And I use it nearly every day, I will switch to a different bag thinking I want a new style. But they fail in comparison to my RL! It was $100 and the best purchase I have ever made. Its black leather with red inside, snap closure. I love Ralph Lauren so why dont you do a video on that brand?
Steph, what are your thoughts on Coach handbags? X

Too bad I’m not a millionaire. I would have one of each.
I agree that Dior Saddle with a long strap is just ridiculous. I never wear mine with the strap. It looks best as shoulder bag xx
i had an Hermes Constance 21 and I felt like I fought with it every time I wore it. You cant set ithe bag down because it flops forward and it takes two hands to open and close and the H clasp svcatches easily IMO.. I'm not sure if the Constance 18 is any better- I would love input:)
How did you miss including the LV lock me ever mini? I think it's a perfect crossbody bag 😊
Some bags make you have new looking , not always for crossbody at all. You like eating 1 kind of food, not meant you should not try other kinds.

Pochette Metis is a lovely bag but I could never make it work.. all the compartments are so inconvenient and I run out of space. Trying to sell mine
LV Coussin is still my go to bag. Fits a lot and I don't have to be gentle with it, unlike Celine's Triomphe (sadly my samsung ultra phone with casing doesn't fit into Teen)

Can you plz let’s us know how the Celine bag look after wear and tear ! It’s very prone to scratches and spots 😢
For sure will do an update soon. The bag is already preloved and the leather looks great. Some scratches to hardware
Wow I use my black pocket Métis leather bag for work and travel. I for two phones two charges kegs walket
The celine triomphe is so not quiet luxury. The logo is as big as YSL’s
If I had to do it over again I wouldn’t have bought the Chanel Classic Flap. I’m petite and the chain still isn’t long enough to wear crossbody so I leave it at home anytime I’m doing a day trip or traveling
How can you afford all of
these bags?
Am wondering how you feel about handbag charms. Too fussy and silly? Thanks.
My favorite crossbody are Chanel minis I have mines for years and they are my go to always. Babe the Chanel classic claps were never designed to crossbody they are shoulder feminine classic bags, so I don’t get why ppl keep trying to wear a bag that is not meant for crossbody as one 🤦🏼♀️. I am petite and I wear my small classics only if is an emergency but only for a moment, other wise I wear the minis as crossbody ones. 😊
best crossbody right now I think is bottega andiamo small and medium
Steph Today you are looking just Wow and what a lovely beautiful bags and How's your health and How's Everything💖💖💖
Thank you so much Mansoor ✨

The celine is worse than pochette Metis! No room. I have both and the Metis has more space and is easier to open 😍
I never see any of the RUclipsrs I follow with Louboutin handbags, I know they are known for their shoes but how are their bags?
I hate compartments in bags they limit the amount of items that will fit in bag.
Returned bottega bowling bag, zipper is awful
I really like your blogs but I do not like the quality of or branding of Louis Vuitton can you recommend more crossbody s without all the logo
You call that celine bag quiet luxury? The logo couldn't be any bigger.
Lets be frank: if you’re thicker, tall or bigger boobs crossbody bags need to be longer and if you’re shorter you need adjustable to shorten. Flat chests seem to work best w crossbody?
Your channel is like tv shopping channel, you must have have marketing background. You should get a job at TV shopping Channel. This bag promises everything and you will not be disappointed viewers 😂
BOO no GUCCI, missing out!
This was VERY LV centric lol
saddle bag looks like a liver
❤❤❤❤
Wear what you want? 🤷♂️
🤗🤗🤗
Enjoyed this vid but please stop saying “arguably” so much!
The Dior saddle is hideous! I don’t understand….
