THE BEST HANDBAGS TO BUY WHEN STARTING YOUR DEIGNER BAG COLLECTION. Your first designer handbag/purse is always your most memorable purchase. It’s taken so long to save the money, and FINALLY the time has come to purchase what you’ve been dreaming about. But is the bag you want a good option to go for, or could you be spending thousands of Pounds on something that will be short lived and will look dated in the next few years? I think there are certain bags that are no brainers when it comes to buying your first piece; something that’ll look great, stay in fashion and hold value. I share my 3 smartest buys and 3 worst buys - including the Chanel Classic Flap, Chanel Boy, Chanel tweed, Valentino Spike, Gucci Marmont and Prada.

@512Belieber 5 лет назад

@ErikaBardere 5 лет назад

Guess and Gucci logos sometimes look pretty similar too, so I can understand what you mean. I think I have gotten confused before, seeing a Guess bag and double checking to see if it was Gucci or not. Honestly, Guess is a lot cuter than I realized when I finally started looking at their stuff. I wouldn't mind rockin' Guess, especially if it's confusing people if it's Gucci hahaha But I still like Gucci and Prada look better than Hermes because you can (1) actually tell it's a designer brand and (2) the styles are actually cute/nice whereas Hermes, if it's not the Birkin, it's either VERY plain or downright ugly, while costing more than everyone else's bags for literally no reason. Even their belts are pretty boring. But, their scarves are pretty!

@jmac6406 5 лет назад

Kinda agree with Hermes, I could have all the money in the world but I'm not buying any Hermes bag. Overpriced and ridiculous. They even make you feel like you need to beg for them to sell you a damn Birkin! Not over my dead body. Luckily I'm broke, I don't have to worry about any of these LOL

Don't be so obsessed with trends people. Buy what YOU like and what YOU think fits your style and you might still wanna use in 5 or 10 years. Who cares what she says and what other people is wearing right now. I'm still proudly wearing Gucci belts, boots and handbags that belonged to my GRANDMA, and they still look so on point. But I'm also wearing bags from my grandma that were big at the time and are unknown today, like Roberta Di Camerino. Think with your own head sometimes people.

Exactly what I thought! My grandma was a true Carolina Herrera fanatic (very famous in Spain) and now I recently am too, thanks to her. Gucci also just seems overpriced lately I feel like vintage Gucci has a more high end feel to it and Louis Vuitton is losing its charm since they want to attract a younger audience.

@kaja7830 5 лет назад

My first luxe bag was the Louis Vuitton neverfull which I bought in Paris. I love it and from what I’ve seen I can easily sell it for a profit so that’s always a plus. My one issue is that it’s such a classic style that EVERYONE has a fake version. I feel like it just makes mine less special.

My first luxury bag was the Neverfull monogram GM, I use it a lot for work (I often have to carry lots of stuff with me), and I use it for travel. To me the fakes are sooo fake. I KNOW mine is real (bought it from the boutique), so I am proud to carry it. If anyone ever tries to tell me it’s a fake, I know several things I can point out that prove it’s authentic. No one ever has though. Mostly people just admire it.

@user-ly7rg3ll4o 4 года назад

Personally I believe Gucci, especially the marmont style is way more classic-y and a durable trend than Valentino. Hands down I would side Gucci Marmont with Chanel classic and Lady Dior. These classic styles never lose their trend.

The classic flap was the 2.55 (rereleased in 2005 and renamed the reissue) so the silhouette has been around for 63 years. The double C logo was switched by Karl in the 80s I believe.

@XxRainTearzxX 5 лет назад

I don’t get what’s wrong with carrying bags that can be “dated”. To be honest, i think it is most important to get a bag that one really likes and if everyone else thinks its “dated”, at least you’ll know you’ll be one of the few left carrying it :) makes it a little more unique!

@twice_velvet 5 лет назад

ESKY she's talking about resale

@grenbaygrl1 5 лет назад

I think she's talking about people who only buy a bag because it is trendy, not because they personally like it. Like, I totally agree with you that if you truly like something then you should get it because it will always hold value to you, but what she's advising against is people buying a bag because in the moment they like it but aren't thinking too hard about why they like it (aka, do you like it just because everyone else does at the moment)

@zxyatiywariii8 5 лет назад

I agree. I buy something that fits my lifestyle, I don't plan to re-sell anyway. Also it needs to be roomy enough for my (Certified Service) dog to fit into when there's a lot of dirty snow on the streets, like today. And I need separate pockets for my stuff too.

Great reviews Sophie!! As a side note, I own the Chanel Boy in calf leather over 2 years now and have had no problems with sagging. Perhaps because the lambskin is softer it's prone to sagging. Another classic in my opinion is the LV Alma. Now comes with a cross body strap. It's been around forever and the vernis leather ones do hold their own in terms of return on investment.

@lalc2883 5 лет назад

As a first luxury purchase, i would advise Fendi or brands like Tod's or Ferragamo. Those brands are not like big Couture houses but they are specialized in leather goods. I really like Fendi. Their bags are clean but fun. It's very difficult to find bags that can be serious without being to "grandma-ish" à la Hermes. Then, maybe after that, maybe Chanel. Chanel is very expensive but if you choose wisely, it can work. And about the value, mind you that some seasonal models will hold more value once Karl will retire. I don't know about Dior. They have changed so much in terms of creative direction. It's a bit all over the place. Like Gucci! Maybe the Dyonisus of Gucci will be a classic but they have the Jackie which has been part of their classic collection since the 60's. I also don't like Hermes bags. They are really about status-symbol but they are too bourgeois. Anyway, every brand has it own classics. It all depends on the sensibility.

I own quite a few designer bags now and found myself nodding my head in agreement with everything you said. Very insightful for anyone who is looking to take the plunge on a bag that's going to stand the test of time. I totally agree with you on Gucci ... they seem to have styles that are more "flash in the pan" and come / go very quickly, as pretty as many of them are. To me, the Chanel flap and the Lady Dior are two of the most iconic / longevity pieces you can add to your collection. They also look beautiful! Thanks for the video!

I love the calfskin leather it’s very soft and since the purple bag is still in great shape I trusted the brand.

Love your Chanel (sic) Sophie. Sad to hear about your Prada experience. I own two and I hammer them and they survive nevertheless. I'm in Australia so I'm wondering if they are maybe manufactured in a different location. I must admit though, in terms of quality, my Diorama beats Prada hands down.

I really love this kind of video from you Sophie!!! thank you so much!Im 100% agree with you about the GUCCI, I sold two Gucci bags I got , thank god they are still very demanding~ and I returned Prada Cahier bag for the same reason, my friends who love luxury handbags usually jokes, if your Prada bag didnt fall apart after use, you probably got fake one.... because the fake Prada bags seems holding up better than the real one lol

Just came across your video. Love love love. You are so on point with the status of the designer bags you mentioned.

@LiamKaulitz15 5 лет назад

I love the boy!!!! It’s my favourite bag, but it wasn’t my first ahaha! I love gucci, but I can agree, that you’re probably right! I haven’t had any problems with Prada and own several of their bags, and actually love them, but also, I don’t consider them classic at all!

@MissSilk 5 лет назад

Um...THANK YOU for addressing Hermes.....some of their stuff just looks....OK. I totally get that it is classic, timeless, etc. but compared to other bags and other styles it just doesn't look or feel practical to me verses other bags too. Also the whole "waiting list" is a deal breaker for me. I personally wouldn't want to wait around forever to purchase a bag I saved up for a long time to buy, only to end up on a waiting list for certain styles.

Sure it's timeless, like in 50 years it'll still be ugly.

How about a video grouping bags into different budgets or price points? To help us also decide what amount we need to save for? Thanks!! :)

The classic Chanel bag you thought was from around the 80’s, comes from different time era. It is called the Chanel 5.22 bag - it refers to the time it was released: February 1955. Part of the big restart of Coco Chanel’s career after WWII. Hope it’s useful info 😊

@audienceofone6961 4 года назад

You’re referring to what is often called the “Reissue.” The Chanel 2.55 (you wrote 5.22, but I’m sure that was unintentional, since you got the date right) is indeed Gabrielle Chanel’s design from February 1955. The bag she is referring to in this video is the Classic Flap, which was Coco Chanel’s original flap bag reimagined by Karl Lagerfeld in the 1980s. The 2.55 has the original closure with discreet branding; the Classic Flap has the double CC that was designed by Lagerfeld. The 2.55 has a chain strap; the Classic Flap has a chain strap interwoven with leather. The 2.55 comes most often in crinkled calfskin; the Classic Flap is produced every season in lambskin and “caviar” leather (calfskin that is treated to be tough, scratch-resistant and textured). Both the 2.55 and the Classic Flap have the double flap construction and burgundy leather interiors. Both have a slip pocket and lipstick pocket in the interior, and on the exterior they both have a half-moon pocket on the rear of the bag. They both have the discreet zipper pocket on the inside of the outer flap where supposedly Coco Chanel stored her love letters. They are, however, different bags, one (the Classic flap) inspired by the other, earlier design (the 2.55). So, she was technically not wrong in the video.

Very well stated, Rich V. And accurate! Most people get the 2.55 and the classic flap confused. And I think most people are not aware that Karl Lagerfeld created the double C logo, not Coco Chanel.

Omg I was gifted the Gucci Sylvie bag and thought I could use it the rest of my life 😂 Well I love it and don’t really care if it’s out of style, but I do want a classic bag like the Lady Dior someday.

I personally have a large Gucci collection of handbags, small leather goods and accessories and when I look at my collection as a whole I absolutely love it and wouldn't sell a single item from it. Older pieces before Alessandro Michele's directorship are sold for higher amounts than what their retail price was at the time. They do have Classic handbags such as the Boston and the Jackie ( which was originally called the Constance) neither are in current production but are sought after by fashion gurus. The Soho which is one of their best sellers was going to be discontinued after his hiring but sales are strong for this handbag that it continues to be made. When I look at other designers camera bags of which all brands seem to have right now I believe the Soho still out sells them. And according to my SA's at Gucci the brand for once and finally beat out Hermes in sales this year. Love it! The brand is not for everyone but I strongly believe that for those us who have handbag collections or any collectible goods it speaks volumes about ourselves. I come from a very art minded family and I don't play it safe when I buy a handbag that catches my eye but I know what I'm getting in that purchase. Great topic for conversation. Keep filming!

You will see that when Alessandro gets replaced with a boring creative director...your pieces by him will double in value.

@vinijohnson4695 5 лет назад

Cardsmaster thanks for your comment. In time they will though it may not pertain to all his creations or any artistic director for a brand who steps down. Consumers still look for Frida Giannini's designs which were lackluster compared to today's designs but they are commanding really good prices. In the late 1980's to early 1990's I bought clothing from Franco Moschino while he was still alive I have since split and given my 3 daughters the clothing. I'm sure they would sell well on a pre-loved site given the date and looking at the tags. Today I wouldn't buy anything from the Moschino brand. My opinion is that Jeremy Scott has Americanized an Italian brand and rude as it is I'm waiting for him to leave. Thank you for your comment. You made a valid point and maybe consumers will hold on to what they have longer than just buying and selling, buying and selling.

@planetsmasherrr 5 лет назад

I’m not able to afford a Chanel classic flap, so I went for a vintage Diana flap in caviar and it totally satisfies my need for that “classic” look and definitely was more affordable 💕

@sofi_wanderess 5 лет назад

Although my first and only designer bag is a gucci (soho disco) I so understand what you're saying.. My rule for a first purchase is to buy something you love and will love wearing all the time but in a neutral and wearable colour..

@melissasaccoccio4127 5 лет назад

Sofi Karyofyllidou I have the Gucci soho disco in red and it’s the best bag ever! I don’t regret it. And the price wasn’t hideous!!!

@sindhumjay8587 5 лет назад

Yes, that's the best first bag. It can withstand rough use and looks very stylish and luxurious. Best bag for the price range
