Hi Autumn! The Coach Idol is a full grain leather bag, and it's lined in leather throughout. Not sure if you've seen it in person, but it's a very high quality bag. The Tory Burch version doesn't even come close. The difference is so obvious in person.
Your videos are awesome. Would you please do a video on handbags from Ralph Lauren? Like the Ralph Lauren RL50 (different sizes) Wellington, Ricky, etc. it’s almost impossible to find reviews for them. Pretty please ❤
I prefer the Celine logo versus Coach. Off the subject of handbags I’d love to see a life update video on how Paul, the dogs and Vincent are doing. If you are still loving living in Oregon etc. Also, how you like having TH-cam as your full time job versus a regular job?
Thank you. A few people have requested this and I'm planning to do a big update in June which will be one year out from leaving teaching. To sum it up, everything is going well. :)
Great alternatives, Autumn! I think that the Parisa Wang handbags you featured could be alternative to some Ferragamo handbags, too. They have similar closure designs. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the alternatives. I discovered Tiffany and Fred about 1 year ago and have several bags from them. Wow, their dupes are very nice and so affordable. They give you a bit more then you pay for imo which keeps me coming as I have about 7 ir so bags from them now. In love with their Kelly style East West bag and their 30cm Birkin style bag. ❤❤❤❤
Nice choices and I would certainly like to see a Birkin Kelly video! There is a new Australian brand called Maison de Sabre which makes a bag similar to an Evelyn. I have not yet bought from them but I do intend to. Thank you for the video.
Great topic Autumn. I personally like the Tory Burch and Celine bags better than the Constance. I love Hermes but have never cared for the Constance because of the big H logo. Love Henry's bags which you introduced me to. Beautiful bags. I only wish they had more leather strapp bags. They are tastefully done, but the web straps aren't my style. I love the Picotin! I like that Aspinal of London bag better than the garden party. You suggested a lot of great bags. Thanks as always!
I have six Hermès Evelynes: GM Gold with Palladium hardware, GM Noir with Palladium hardware, PM Noir with Gold hardware and three TPMs - Noir with Gold, Gold with Palladium and Magnolia with Palladium. The leather is impeccable. That being said, I recently discovered Hammitt and Hammitt leather is soooooo good! I highly recommend Hammitt for the luxury leather feel. Love your videos!
It's a matter of taste. Hardware buckles on these first bags are large. However, I find the "C" letter on the Idol bag to be simple, smooth, sleek and modern. On the other hand, the Tory Double "T" is too large, complicated, and over the top Victorian looking. It's one of several reasons that has kept me from buying any of her bags.
Hi Autumn! I have a Furla Mini Net bag that reminds me of the Hermes Picotin, and a Smaak Amsterdam Cliff bag that reminds me of the Hermes Lindy. They're both great bags!
Hello Amber! I love all your alternative recommendations. Great choices. My eyes keep wandering to the green bag on your shelf though. Is that a mini or micro Fendi peekaboo? I’m looking for your unboxing of this bag but can’t find it. I guess I missed that video. 😊
I like the TB Eleanor quite a bit, and I love the Eleanor satchel too. The Celine triomphe is beautiful too. I think the Henry’s bag is a great alternative to the Evelyn and I do like the DB awl bag. I like the aspinal tote too.
💯 Celine for the Constance! ❤ My husband was in Naples last week and saw a lady with an M. Gemi bag in the airport. I’d never heard of them and now I’m dying to order one. Have you seen them?
it is an interesting video, thank you! I saw all 4 Dooneys in person, actually the next lock is very cool looking. Henry is probably the best options, I did not see it in person yet. New Coach bag I believe is $695? I don't like proportions. I no longer like Coach proportions, they notoriously make bags that don't fit wallet and or phones. Parisa Wang options are very cute.
If we are to be honest, the alternatives you have presented are better designed than their Hermes counterpart. I think Hermes bags are some of the worst designed handbags. The placement of Hermes handles, the complicated closures and locking mechanisms are so annoying. The Hermes bags are extremely difficult to get in and out of. We have accepted that it is ok to leave our bags wide open in public because of how annoying it is to keep fuffing around to get them open and close. I get pure anxiety at the thought of carrying my Hermes HerBag or the Lindy. I have parked them on the shelf. Some of the alternatives you show are designed way better.

Hi Autumn, the Lonchamp le Foulonne in small is a good alternative to the Evelyn.
Tiffany & Fred Paris has some beautiful dupes and affordable leather
Your videos are awesome.

Absolutely loved this review. Thanks for researching this Autumn.

Thanx for sharing these bags. I especially love that pink Dooney Lindy inspired bag you showed! ❤

Thank you so much Autumn. Giving you spin on alternative ideas!
Another alternative to the Evelyne is the Rebecca Minkoff Feed bag. Nice leather too

I agree on the Henry's straps. It would be nice to have options.

Hammitt is fantastic!
I love the Tory Burch bag.
Love the Tory Burch Elenor bag!
Please do a birkin and Kelly video
Yes birkin & kelly affordable alternatives.

Always enjoy your videos! The DeMellier New York bucket bag is one I've been eyeing also has similar vibes to the So Kelly. :)

I think the Cassie 19 also has same vibe As Constance with a low key look.

I just ordered a few of the Dooney all weather I kept putting it off. I do love Coach & Dooney!
I like the TB Eleanor quite a bit, and I love the Eleanor satchel too. The Celine triomphe is beautiful too. I think the Henry’s bag is a great alternative to the Evelyn and I do like the DB awl bag. I like the aspinal tote too.
I think that the Coach Waverly tote is a great alternative to the picotin
Great suggestions 😊💚

Vintage Coach Legacy bag is a good alternative of Hermès Evelyne
Furla has a bag called the net mini tote which is a more affordable alternative to the Picotin 😊
I ❤ Celine ❤
the london tote is more of a birkin cousin than garden party.
The Garden Party tote does not have feet. I always thought they should have feet on the bottom.
❤
No the Garden Party does not have feet. 😊

I think a really good alternative to the constance is the de mellier vancouver bag. Alse Ralph Lauren copies a lot of hermes bags 🫣
