They're *OUT OF STYLE* 

Trends doesn’t really matter. If you like what your wearing you look good on what your wearing. That’s your style, Own it, Rock it.❤

Hi Sophie! This is not a new trick, but my solution to this dilemma (how to stay on trend without sinking a fortune into the latest trendy bags) is to only buy classic bags in classic colors, and use accessories to make my overall look feel more on trend. For example, the trend for sparkly bags will no doubt go out of style and I don't want to be left with an expensive sparkly bag that is beautiful, but dated, so I will buy a fun bag charm that sparkles with Swarovski crystals and attach it to my bag. Voila! There's usually a trendy color way each year, so I might purchase a silk scarf instead of a new bag in the new color trend, and tie it on my classic bag. If bags with major hardware are trending, I will either buy a hardware charm to attach and give it some attitude, OR I'll make sure my jewelry hits the mark. If bags with pearls are trending, I'll wear a chain belt with pearls, or long pearl earrings. I do love all the bag trends (well, mostly), but I find occasionally an older bag style suits the occasion just perfectly and it's fun to take it off the shelf and wear it again. Have a wonderful Sunday evening, Sophie! ❤

Sophie, since we spend so much money on these bags (regardless of trends) I’d love to see a video of you styling your “out of style” bags so they feel more contemporary…

My classic flap Chanel bags will never go out of style. I will always wear them regardless of anyone’s opinion. I do agree with you that I would not buy them today at the current price point.

Anything BALENCIAGA is out of style imo, it’s time for that brand to disappear forever

If I’m spending that much for a bag it’s NEVER going out of style 😂

I just don’t prescribe to the “out of style” Thinking. If you enjoy it, wear it and enjoy it.

Girl if you don't make a code that DOES pay you commission!! We love and appreciate your honesty + transparency so don't mind if you get a kick back from it 😍

I think I am more into a shape of a bag that makes me think in or out. Classic shapes will last forever.

Chanel flap bag is a timeless piece it will never be out of style

I think people should buy bags that they like, not what other girls like/ popular. Unless it’s for re-selling purposes.

Currently the bags I see most on Instagram are the Birkin, the Kelly, followed by Chanel minis. Isn’t that so strange? How are they the peak of luxury when social media are indundated with them?

In my eyes, Chanel is and will always be timeless. I love my trendy CC. ❤

In my opinion there is too much emphasis on big brand bags like Chanel etc. There are brands like Bvlgari and Ferragamo that make wonderful classic bags that are superior in the quality department. I think people are slowly beginning to realise that these brands have a lot to offer and have the heritage behind them. Elegance and class dont have to shout with logos. Only my opinion...💖

i have a book tote in the blue camouflage and its one of my best purchases. i carry it to work and it comfortably carries laptops, ipads, an extra jacket, chargers, notes, and everything else without sagging or deforming! love the fact that it can stand up on its own too. the bag is around 3 years old now but i still get loads of compliments on it! definitely a bag that i'll still use even when it's gone out of fashion for travels, work or just carrying large amounts of stuff anywhere.

I would add Gucci Marmont to the "out of style"-list. IMO it was never "in style", I just don't get the appeal sorry. I just find it cheap looking. For bags "on the way up" I hope that Bvlgari's bags will get more attention. So beautiful, classic looking and great quality.

Interesting! I think even with "classic" bag styles, they have their ebbs and flows and it's nice. I definitely would not recommend getting rid of those bags but put them away and save them for another time. They'll be back! It's just like with classic clothing styles, you can still wear them even if they aren't trendy.

The Chanel Boy bag will never die!!! This is the hill I will die on! Also, I love your pink jumper! 💖

I got a bag for £40 that is gorgeous and resembles the Chanel bag, I look after it and you can tell it can last years. Normal priced bags are sometimes better than Designer bags, not to mention affordable

Something that I love you for is how respectful you are. You always make sure to remind your viewers that these are your opinions, and we all have different ones. You also acknowledge that luxury items are not a necessity. You’re one of the very few RU-vidrs that I follow when it comes to luxury items. Thanks for making these videos

I love the Fendi Peekaboo bags. In style or out they are gorgeous. I also still love my Dior saddle bag. I bought it over 13 years ago and I still love it. Love your video Sophie ❤

I don't think the Chanel classic flap is out of style, the issue with this is the price, way overpriced. The Dior saddle bag, yes I bought this years ago when it first came out. I used it a lot but would never buy again. I have never liked the Chanel boy bag or gabrielle bag. I think the Prada crystal bags are a trend but if you love them then buy one. I'm older so I stay away from trends.

I think there’s an issue with the fact that we call bags worth thousands and months worth of saving “out of style” and consider it to be less cool to wear as a result. If you’re a multimillionaire or billionaire, cool. But most people who enjoy and wear these bags work like crazy for it.

I never listen to fashion gurus. If I like it, it is in fashion to me. LOVE my drew and still enjoy carrying it. I like to be carrying a bag no one else is carrying. At the moment I’m at bag peace. The greedy price rises have put me off a lot of the high end designer bags, more likely to buy contemporary designer bags today. Your collection is amazing. Love the way you put an outfit together. 😀

I don’t care if my tote is outdated! Im wearing this sucker until it falls apart!

I think that oversaturaion of Chanels and Hermes on social media, makes these bags less and less attractive. Not to mention the price increase. People want more unique bags, not just classics.

Unpopular opinion here. I think the crystal bags are really chavvy! 😂 When I see them, I also see a pink velour Juicy Couture tracksuit with JUICY across the butt!

I love the Kelly, but the price is unjustifiable. And I would NEVER play Hermès’s game. Begging to drop thousands 🙄

I want to go to your gym where a Dior book tote is the norm. WHAT?!! I hope they provide nice towels 😆

Lately I've been mainly looking for bags from French fashion houses that you don't see everywhere. Their quality is excellent, the models and colors are classic, and their prices are reasonable. I have a few handbags from big brands, but I'm slowly changing my collection to more special and high quality handbags.

Pink is truly your color. Absolutely gorgeous!

Anything Chanel is never out of style, fashion and style is subjective. None of these are out of style to me. Money doesn't go out of style

I just wear what I like instead of being manipulated by the fashion industry. Otherwise, it just seems so wasteful.

I personally think the chanel classic flaps look quite matronly now. I sold my jumbo a couple years ago, but the minis are quite cute!

I have been wearing sparkle for decades and will continue to wear sparkle, so the crystal bags will always been in for me.

Hi Sophie! Thanks for the excellent content. I am a vintage Chanel lover, but lately I’ve noticed that the vintage market has gone down quite a lot. People have to reduce their prices and relisting their items and they just don’t sell. I would love to see a video from you to talk about the vintage Chanel market in depth ❤ thanks 😊

Hi Sophie ! I think that a Chanel classic flap or a Dior saddle bag are still cool but in medium or small sizes . If I took seriously what is trendy or not on social media regarding handbags ( as we viewers are happy to own one we love and simply walk down the street carrying them ) I would not have my mini collection of vintage Chanel , the collection you own as well and clearly enjoy .

Trends come and go, but style is perennial. If it just so happens that your style coincides with a trend, then fantastic! If not? You'll still be stylish and fabulous! Have a great week, Sophie! 💖 xx

On Instagram it seems like every young influencer has an Hermes Bag and it’s really put me off wanting one xx

I have that Chloe tote bag and I love it. Their bags are so well made and you’re not breaking the bank!😊

A classic bag like the Chanel classic flap will never go out of style no matter price increases IMO. Social media is all about trends, people who rarely have a style of their own and everybody is just following the herd. So uninteresting. You have to find your own style, what you like and what looks good on you. Not just buy for the moment. Especially as you grow older you should be more confident. I loved the boy bag when it first came out but over the years I've fallen out of love with it and wanted the classic flap instead. I don't like the double flap though and contrary to everybody on social media I prefer the jumbo and maxi size. Found a couple of single flap beauties on the preloved market in great condition that I just love. I do find the boy bag to look dated now; too bulky and boxy, that big clasp on the front. They could update it a bit IMO. Make the clasp smaller so it looks more proportional (like the boy wallet on chain), do something new to the chain and smooth the corners a bit perhaps.

I totally feel the same way with the Hermes bit. Every influencer and socialite has one (or a collection of). And it’s all over social media. Doesn’t feel as exclusive as before

I keep all my bags because I like them. I'm not really influenced by trends even if when some bags looks outdated, they are not desirable. For me it's important to make a difference between "OUTDATED" and "OUT OF STYLE". The first one is more related to the design and the latter to the popularity. I still wears my Chanel Mademoiselle bags from 2011. About Chanel bags, I think the 2.55, the Classic and the Boy will remain classics. But of course no bags stays that long without periods when it's less in style. Even the Birkin and the Kelly that are super-popular now were really seen as old-ladies bags when I was younger. We see 20 years old girls wanting them now but it wasn't the case 15/20 years ago. I think the success of Vintage Chanel will always maintain the desirability of current Chanel.

I’m someone who just buys bags that I love. That being said, if I’m constantly thinking of a bag that has gone out of trend…. Lucky me, I can find it on the preloved market for less money 😂

I still love the Chloe drew bag. I think Drew matches my style well haha. The Chloe book tote bag... just my own opinion, I think it will go out of style quickly. It seems not a timeless design.

I am a total vintage Chanel fan! I do have a Boy bag and love her, but I love the quality of the leather and the 24kt plated hardware on the vintage pieces.

I feel so uninspired by fashion atm. There’s no bag that I really want or admire 😢

I feel like out of style and popularity are not exactly the same. Chanel flaps aren't as popular now because of the price yes, but they are still relevant and looks chic when styling with outfits. Honestly for Hermes kelly they don't look in style to me they are just popular now. I would probably just buy birkin kelly for work only, they are more suitable as work bags imho. Great video as always! ❤️

I feel like a lot of these designer items lose their appeal through the "dupe" & "counterfeit" markets. You go to a high street store and notice luxury inspired "dupes" and think "ja I'll pass..." or "Meh...". I see lots of Chanel inspired "dupes" fairly often when I go shopping. Recently I purchased a Chanel handbag for US50.00. at an antique/thrift store. My first thought was "Is this real?" It has "Chanel" written all over it and has signs of wear. Honestly not worth the price. Luxury fashion is becoming unsustainable now. IMO.

The Chanel classic flap bag is timeless, but the price is ridiculous high.

Sometimes when I see the EURO or POUND I have to remind myself I'm Canadian. I wish I could say a Dior book tote is 2,500 CAN instead I say 5000. 😪It hurts.

I basically agree with your opinion on each bag you presented (but friends can agree to disagree on some things 😊)…what I do is only buy bags I love and I can see with the clothing I like to wear and how I wear things. Then if they are out of style I don’t really care. Which isn’t to say that strategy hasn’t led me astray. I have one or two just hideous bags that I would never pull out again (my husband and I used to have a nice wine dinner then go shopping 😂) About 95% of my collection though I truly love. On trend or not. Cheers!

Hi Sophie!!!! I always loved Kelly bag much more than the Birkin... So chic!!!!!

I think it's a good perspective to keep in mind that if you're after a trend, you might be disappointed a year or two later, so it helps in decision making when you throw that money down. Whatever your taste is, going with what you suits your style personality is the most important.

I’ve always thought the jumbo looks like a granny bag but I like it anyway. The price really is absolutely insane though. And I just can’t with the saddle bag. 😂 I still remember how you went from despising it to loving it and I could only watch in horror. It’s an abomination and I absolutely love hating it, it never fails to make me laugh. 😄

Chanel’s prices are too much for the fair quality they are producing. Since Karl Lagerfeld’s passing, I think Chanel has lost some of it’s cache. I always thought the Chanel bags looked like something an older lady would carry to church. I don’t understand the popularity of the Chanel classic bags among very young women flexing on social media.

Oooooh i LOOOOVE Vintage Chanels. Most of my Chanel Bags are from the 90s and they look fab and amazing . Ty for sharing 💖💖💖💖 14:51

I think anything can be in style with the right outfit combination. I still carry my Chloe Paddington from time to time and it gets complimented as much as my newer bags 🤷🏻‍♀️

Beckham wore the Dior saddle leather bag lately at his wife's fashion show pretty well and I was instantly attracted to it 😍

I really like the Chanel small hobo in the new Spring collection. It looks cool and fun. Otherwise I find Chanel extremely boring and old fashioned. 😴

I never will be able to afford luxury bags or anything luxury really but the whole thing with Hermes is ridiculous to me. Is like they do you a favor for selling a bag? Yes they're pretty but there are so many pretty luxury brands that you can buy from. For me is just a marketing trick to make you want it more because is "exclusive" but at the end of the day, every influencer has them. No shade, just my honest opinion.

It’s the Hermes picotin that’s really on the rise

Chanel in general, is “out of style” for me, thanks to their price increases. The seasonal bags that echo the classics feel hollow and the extremely shiny caviar feels cheap. I’m much more interested in Celine, Loewe, and Saint Laurent. I think those are the brands I’ll be following this year.

I think the small “bags” are a slick move by Chanel since I don’t think you can completely consider them “actual” full functioning bags. I think it is to get people that were pushed away at the higher price point to consider these “lower” priced bags as a good deal to jump on.

❤️❤️❤️ Heading to London in the beginning of March and I can’t WAIT to go to Harrods!

The Prada bag is a trend for sure

Meanwhile, I want a Dior Book bag and a Chanel Boy in 2023. I don’t care if they’re uncool, I just love how effortless they are.

I think the Marcie Chloe bag will never die because it’s the perfect bag for anyone who doesn’t check on instagram constantly.

Ooh, I hope the Chloe tote gets trendy! I’ve had my eye on it for a year but I haven’t seen many second hand. I’ll wait for it to go out of style again and pick it up 😂

Agree ! Been contemplating Chloe tote and Prada crystal bag… gonna do Chloe and admire Prada Jumbo flap no way Coco top handle yes! Both classics, but the smaller more modern silhouette I like Fun video Thx for code.😊

Good thing that this is only your opinion!!!

Great video, and you are right with every bag. I do think the pre-loved companies are charging too much now, because they don’t give you much for your own bags when you want to sell to them.

Hmmm I never really ever saw many people wearing the Chanel Gabrielle so wasn't aware it was in style, but I wish it was, it looks good! Agree on Boy and Dior's xx

Although the price of a classic flap is high in the boutique, people still manage to resell them for more. That is why I still buy from the boutique in the US instead of preowned.

Just purchased a Chanel mini Citizen flap. Love it so much🥰🥰 I love top handles with protective feet at the bottom. I also own a Chanel neo tote mini. Love your videos! Cheers from Boston

I have heard that bag prices on the secondary market are beginning to drop? Your thoughts Sophie? I still like the Boy Bag in the smaller sizes. Not the large ones. Thank you for the video! Have a fabulous week!

I think you might had bad luck with some quality issues in the Chanel Boy bags you got. I absolutely adore them, I have a few in mini, medium, and large sizes, and never had an issue. As Im moving countries my things are in storage and I just have 2 handbags with me, so for the last 3 months I have been using a medium Boy bag pretty much every single day, with everything and more I can fit inside it, and the bottom didn't sag at all, its shape and structure is exactly the same as 3 months ago, no damage at all. But there is a detail, I always use them cross-body or shoulder with full length, I never double the chain to be shorter and under my arms, so I kind of never squeeze it that way. The Dior book tote is also very good, I carry tons on mine, laptop included, and it holds like new without any sign of damage.

I just picked up my Kelly 28 retourne yesterday and I am IN LOVE 🧡 !!!

The prices of vintage Chanel are now competitive with Chanel's seasonal bag. But the quality is better (?) so perhaps it's worth it.

I think the mini kelly has peaked, even though it's still popular, it's definitely easier to get offered/get ahold of than it was a couple years ago.

Chanel classics will always be there. i think they have already proven this since they are still here and being sold and always the ‘sought after’… i think the only challenge is the price 💰💵💸

I like the idea of this video but I don't necessarily agree with the styles you mentioned. I feel the bags 'out of style' are the Gucci Marmont, Balenciaga anything, Chloe bags of past seasons, Diorama range from Dior and other such styles. Most of what you mentioned are classics and will never be out of style. Yes the Dior saddle bag and Book tote may not have the hype that they had but that's for anything - the hype is always in the initial year/few years after launch and then there's a stability to the style or a decline. As for social media, I think that the most stylish people and true lovers of fashion have now realised that styles are being pushed on us through influencers that are being paid to carry certain bags more than others. So we need to have our own sense of what looks good on us, not just blindly follow corporate profit-earning tactics!! As for what's going up, yes vintage for sure but also the desire for styles and brands that are under the radar and not everyone has seen them. I love my Chanel bags for special occasions but I also love carrying Polene bags that don't have logos, are great quality and people always ask what I'm carrying.

If you like the bag there's no such thing as out of style handbags. It's only out of style after a RU-vidr who obsessed over it convinced you to buy one, says it is.

I agree with you on the Chanel Classic Flap & Dior Book Tote - PASS

I think the bags you mentioned, such as the Dior Book Bag or the Chanel Classic Flap looks out of style and maybe even tacky, not just because of the ridiculous price, but because they were so popular in the last decade, they are too many replicas and fakes on the streets. These bags stopped elevating someone's look 'cos of that association. Carrying a Chanel CF no longer mean someone had taste, but that the person is "basic". It's really sad what happened to Chanel as a brand.

I read the 2023 forecast trending for designer handbag was square structured shape and it included the Chanel flaps the hobo relax bags are out for 2023

the classic flap is my dream bag - but I cant justify the price for the quality now so I just don't think I could bring myself to buy it :(

Hello from the US. I still can't get behind most Chanel, feels matronly to me and I never have wanted them. I'm 50 50 on the 19 but still not enough to warrant the price.

I just talked with one of my friends in fashion industry and she said buying bag is not worth for investment anymore. The market already flooded with luxury bags. She advised me to collect watches instead.

It all boils down to preference. See, I previously disliked the LV Neverfull but now it is on my wishlist. I know it is overrated but I always believe it all depends on how you carry it. I also do not like "edgy" bags which I think is your choice of bags.

So youre really saying> what makes a classic. Good question.

I don’t think paying thousands on a bag is reasonable at anytime or for any bag but I have . I love both my classic flaps, would I pay the price they’re at now? Well it’s easy to say no when you have them 🤷🏼‍♀️ Honestly I think still would because when I payed whatever I did at the time it still felt a lot of money ❤

Thanks, Sophie! Love your insights!!💕💕💕💕

I agree with all of your sentiments on this video. Esp classic flaps declining in popularity due to price. I was in Chanel last week and told my SA, “I’m done with the classic flaps because the price is ridiculous.” He agreed! I’m now interested in other styles from Chanel that are still “reasonable” like the coco handle, businesses affinity, etc.

The tweed chanel bags are soooo cuteeeee

Hi Sophie, hope you and David are having a great weekend

What do you think about Chanel Wallet on Chain? It was really hot for a while but not sure if people are still buying it?

I agree on Chloe it a brand that I stay away from as the styles come and go fast

The Prada Re-Nylon 2000 mini bag is going out of style as well 😢

I wish you showed us the bags you have as you spoke about them 🙏🏼🎀👍🏼
