I've always been a fan of quality over quantity. I would rather have only a few quality bags that are made in Italy, that are made of real leather with impeccable stitching, hardware & materials, than to have 50 cheap bags from Target. You are what you present yourself as...and I try to present myself as well as possible...even on a budget.
For women, handbags are a form of communication in the same way that watches are for men. It says who you are, your values, and if you are new/old money. And surprisingly, you don’t have to wear a $10k designer bag to communicate you are part of the group. Princess Catherine frequently wears a Longchamp le pilage or an Aspinal bag. Both can be purchased for a few hundred dollars, not thousands.
Spot on! Personally, I would feel embarrassed to be using a handbag that cost more than a car. There many high quality handbags available that are pricey by most people's standards, but are affordable if one desires to carry a lovely handbag. Quality over quantity, classic styling and no obvious logos are what I gravitate towards. Wishing you a merry Christmas. Take care.
I was a little confused - are you talking about cheap bags or cheap fakes? If you’re talking about fakes, then sure, but if you’re talking about an inspired bag that’s cheap, then just remember that not everyone can afford a Chanel or a Birkin. People do what they can to look good, even on a budget, and shaming someone for an inexpensive bag is pretty low class. An old money woman would take time to compliment someone, as long as it’s not a fake bag. This video sounds pretty snobby and out of touch.
@ Cheap fakes are tasteless, but an inexpensive bag isn’t a bad thing. Plus, big designers like Michael Kors make dupes all the time, and his bags are not cheap.
Totally agree. This post is about snobbery. I’ve brought Hand made leather bags with no label that are built to last. Nobody would know the cost. But the thought of saying “yikes” about something someone else owns is the behaviour of someone raised by wolves
The way you broke down the subtle details like stitching and hardware quality was so eye-opening. It’s amazing how much these small cues can reveal about craftsmanship!
@@MoneyMachine-o5n save your money on designer and get one made by a small artisan. It will have the same quality and be expensive but not exorbitant. This Chanel is run by someone appealing to social insecurity
I would never buy an expensive bag, but if you know what to look for, you can buy bags that look expensive- and if you have to replace it after awhile, good! It helps the economy and freshens your wardrobe. I will tell you, if you know how to shop, people normally don’t notice details. My husband has walked into very high end watch shops and the employees salivated over his watches and couldn’t even tell he was wearing replicas. If someone is examining your handbags that closely… you need new friends. These tips can be seen as great general counsel regarding how to buy a classy looking bag. Next video should be how to round out your collection and match them properly to your outfits. And can I accessorize them with a scarf? Sure.
Who cares if anything is fake? What difference does it make in the greater scheme of things? Narrator sounds like Emily in DEVIL WEARS PRADA, who was a total fake!
Can’t remember any rich woman grabbing my bag and scrutinising it with a magnifying glass. This is possibly the stupidest production of this genre that I have ever seen.
I agree that cheap fakes and first copies can be really bad but there are brands that make good quality bags for an affordable price. Lets remember not everyone can afford a channel or a birkin !! Also its each one's own preference if they want to splurge their hard earned money on vanity ( literally) or not .Also many people don't like to use leather items , leather smells" luxury " maybe but some of us may hate hurting animals for luxuty .Lets not shame people who dont buy high end luxury . Its not everyone's cup of tea its not everyones choice
Many of the people who buy the authentic ones have kids in college and have huge student loans and unpaid home mortgages, but still spend thousands of dollars on handbags. I often recommend kislux to them, they have good quality brand bags.
Since becoming a mom, I've learned to be both budget-conscious and stylish. kislux bags help me find the perfect balance between parenting and myself. They are both stylish and affordable, a true choice for moms.

Cheap fakes.... I guess... That is utterly tasteless.

@@MarchionessDarby62 i agree, i love my simple cotton bags!
The video shows brand-name bags while talking about cheap bags. It's confused.

as a vegan, i never buy designer bags, as there arent any elegant vegan ones
bridal clutches?
vegan bags are way more harmful to the environment.

At the end of the day its just a bag to carry my stuff around))
Exactly! I actually prefer a cheaper bag. I can throw it around without worrying if I damage it and the high price I paid for it.

So a wealthy woman is going around sniffing my bag?

*unidups* The backpacks come in an impressive variety of textures, from smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
i dont like LV because many have it, and the logos are everywhere in the bag.
