Well *hotdups* who wants to spend $20,000 on a bag when you could spend $500 for a dup / most no longer care about what class you’re in! Rich folks buy because they’re bored- and shopping is the thrill!
I just purchased The Sammy in the signature C, I was lucky to have purchased this bag in their summer sale, The Bandit was my birthday gift to me, and it was not on sale, but I have been eyeballing it for such a long time…. My Bandit is the same color as yours. I also bought two small cross body tote bags on sale, one Moss green and one in black. plus the wallets. I must say that the Sammy and the Bandit bags are luxurious and I absolutely love them.
*gtdupe* I bought a real bag from a specialty store, and then a fake bag from a platform. After carefully comparing the craftsmanship, material, and design, there was almost no difference. I really regret not encountering this platform before buying a real bag, but it also made me believe in it more. In the future, when I encounter someone I want to buy, I will go to this place first to see and then make a choice.
Hi, Julie. Thanks for the informative video on these 3 lovely bags! You’re right, the sammy 21 looks small but it does fit the most! Bandit has a formal chic vibe to it as a shoulder but it instantly becomes more casual as a crossbody! I love the leather on all these, it’s so luxurious. Coach really knows how to pull us in ❤
Hi Julie! Great comparison! It's hard to choose. All 3 bags are beautiful. I would say the Bandit and Idol are more my style than the Sammy. Though I do have one Sammy (light yellow) & love her! I think both the Bandit and Idol look equally gorgeous as crossbody bags. However, the Idol would look better than the Bandit as a shoulder bag--particularly with this Idol chain. BTW, love these videos you've been doing!!! Thanks for sharing!! 🥰🥰🥰
I love the comparison videos! It really does highlight the differences. I like to carry crossbody, so shapes on the body are pretty important in the process before I buy anything. Thanks Julie!!!! ❤❤❤
Julie you do the BEST reviews!!! I love the Bandit but that Idol is amazing. I saw them at Coach this past weekend. The Idol reminds me of the Hermes Constance.
Great comparison, Julie! Your detailed review and practical insights really help in deciding which Coach bag to choose. The Sammy 21 definitely stands out for its capacity and functionality. Thanks for sharing!
I just saw a bandit at bloomingdales online on sale but I passed based on the reason you mentioned. To narrow I think I'll get a dooney but I have a soft tabby I love ❤️ and my denim feild 22 tote 😊
I alwwways choose a bag based on practicality. It needs to match most of the clothes in my wardrobe and it has to hold the essentials. For me, *gtdupe* is the end of my choice.
Great comparison and very detailed video Julie. All bags are gorgeous but in terms of versatility and capacity, I have to go for the Sammy 21. I'm surprised how much it can fit inside the bag. TFS 🖤🤎😘
Great comparison Julie on these 3 beautiful bags, my favourite would have to be the Sammy 21, as it does fit more but also as my favourite handbags are satchel, thanks for another great video ❤
What a great comparison of the bags. Thank you for showing all of these. While I love my bandit bag, that flap pocket is the thing I wish wasn't on the interior. Same with some other styles that include an interior kisslock pocket. Give me the room😂
Excellent comparisons, Julie! I almost purchased the Idol a few times now. It's beautiful, but I was anticipating it would hold a little more or at least as much as my Bandits. Very surprised to see that it doesn't!
Super interesting video! Pros and cons to each bag…. The idol is my favorite visually, but the strong magnet opening and my nails would not work well I don’t think. The Sammy has one feature I really really prefer to have unless my bag is strictly a shoulder bag and that is the top handle, but… again, the closure…. The bandit is also super cute, but the way the strap feeds through the loops on top. I don’t know what it is about that style that I just don’t love. Hermes, Tory Burch, Coach, Saint Laurent, all have bags like that, and probably all the major brands, right? It just is not my fave look. All of that aside, they are all so beautiful, it would be really really hard to choose one. You did it right, and chose them all! 😁😁😁😁 A true bag lover!
The Tory Burch Eleanor!, that is the one with the same strap design, feeding through the metal bits on top. That is the one I was thinking of as sort of a mix between the idol and the bandit.
A bath and body hand sanitizer fits with your card case in the bandit or a couple of wipes thats what I use in my bandits and smaller bags. I even use a hand sanitizer charm. In some cases a wear my denim jacket and put my phone and my sunglasses in my jacket inside pockets.❤
. If youu stop buying bags, you'll start to realize that bags don't make you. *gtdupe* You are the bag. Owning you is like owning everything. Buy a black bag and move on with your life.
I love the details, comparison and what fits Julie ❤ I'm tempted to get the idol bag, but I dont know which colour to pick and not sure if i really like the huge C, but I know the quality of the bag is top notch! But now, seeing the capacity of the idol, I have to think twice 😊 Thanks for this video Julie, very helpful. ❤
Hi Aisa! She is tight on capacity for sure. It’s so crazy how you’d think it would hold more than the bandit but it’s smaller! I’m glad this helped make your decision!!
What a great comparison! I have the larger Sammy, and I just love it! 🤩 I do have the Broome and love it too! I’m one of those people who cannot understand why they put those dividers in the bandit and the idol.
Great video! So well thought out, informative, and helpful. All 3 bags are beautiful! Love the capacity and silhouette of the Sammy. What is your opinion of the Kate Spade Katy top handle satchel compared to the Sammy? TFS!
Hi! I just looked up that bag as I’m not familiar with KS bags. The Katy looks lovely and larger than the Sammy 21. It looks about the same size as the regular Sammy. I think the leather on the Coach one may be more luxurious but more durable on the KS bag
Hi Julie, thanks for this video, very informative! I have 2 Bandits and was on the fence to get Idol or Sammy but decided not to. Don’t quite like that Sammy has mainly just one big compartment, where everything would be shifting, when you take something out and also not so convenient if you have a lot of stuff stacked on each other and need to take something out from the bottom. Idol bag is pretty but sometimes I get a feeling that that C magnet maybe a bit too big for my liking (I like it one moment and then not so much another moment lol) and also, a bit of disadvantage that you can only wear straps it comes with. For me, Bandit is a winner out of these 3. And just a side note, I’ve always been over-packer my whole life and had to learn how to minimise what I’m carrying, so that was a learning curve for me and I am still in progress. I also love Rogue top handle, which, I think, is a very nice alternative to Sammy 👜 Nevertheless, all of these bags are lush! ❤
Plus the idol is a lot more formal. I just grab the C by the bottom and it works perfectly for me. Always a special moment when I can use her. Bandits are perfect for casual and will go with any outfit. ❤❤❤
@@Solacefoundandcurated oh, I am so not happy about your comment, you will end up convincing me to get the Idol! And I really should be saving 😂 I never thought about Idol being more formal, I find it as casual or formal as Bandit, personally, but I see what you mean! ❤️
The C on the Idol is a preferred taste. To me, it reminds me of a lot of the cool Chloe bags that have been out in the past. Im obsessed with all of them! There’s a reason I have 4 bandits and then just one of the Sammy’s and one Idol 🤣
Julie you do the BEST reviews!!! I love the Bandit but that Idol is amazing. I saw them at Coach this past weekend. The Idol reminds me of the Hermes Constance.
