For my first designer bag, I went go big or go home. I purchased a vintage beige Chanel Medium Double Flap. It’s one of my dream bags and with all the price increases going on, I just decided to go for it. I didn’t want to “settle” for a bag that I didn’t really love and wouldn’t get much use of so I went for it :) Never regretted it once.
I just bought an Alexander McQueen curve bag and someone asked me where was I going to wear it… UMM everywhere!! My tip is throw all the tips out the window and buy what speaks to you and wear it how and when you want without a care in the world! Part of the value of a bag is the enjoyment you get from it not necessarily the resale value. Wear it often because wear and tear says she’s loved and your living you’re best life! …. But also… great video ❤️ 👜 😂
My first luxury bag is the speedy 30 in monogram and no regrets at all. It's still one of my favourites and gets a lot of love still after 10 years, it cost £400 😅
My first designer bag was a small LV bag which I sold almost 20 years later with a profit. That proves your theory , always buy the best you can afford as it's a great investment and you can get your money back (and buy a different bag).
My first designer bag was a bronze coloured Mulberry Soho. Boy did I get a lot of use out of it!! Bought it for £400 and the cost per wear was probably about 50p in the end :) I have and will never buy bags with resale in mind - I buy what I love.
Hey steph! I just wanted to mention i bought a bag off 24s and that day they were running a promotion. 75$ off, so i got 75$ my bag. Just wanted to mention they run promotions like this as well.
I agree about gold hardware. My first luxury designer bags are YSL small loulou gold hardware and toy loulou denim in lilac colour for spring / summer. I also have etro camera bag, and 2 coach crossbody bags, and Jimmy choo clutch . 😊
What a nice collection you have! I’m looking to buy a small Loulou as my first designer bag in a few weeks 🤗 very torn between a classic black and taupe or beige shades. Any advice for me?
My first designer bad was a lady dior 18 years back.what a journey it's been.still love my bags and have amassed a big luxury collection. Just bought 2 ysl from America before the price increase. Small loulou and large envelope.
I bought a pair of Burberry shoes from 24S a few months ago. If you place an order with them, choose the option for their special packaging. It's a pop up scene that's so cute 😍
My first was Alma PM bc i was afraid to go opposite store chanel. Sold the Alma few years later as I felt it was out of style/ not my style and got the Chanel in the end. Should have gotten then medium flap from the start and save thousands.... Buy what you really want. Don't settle! Xoxoxo
My first luxury bag is actually the vintage LV multicolored crossbody but because I owned a wallet in the same print, which I noticed that the print does fade over usage so I don't really wear it, keeping it in a pristine condition. The next bag is a Loewe puzzle which I loved it! 😍 On another note, I was wondering will luxury ever be too expensive to afford one day, given the prices keep increasing??? How would TH-camrs maintain their luxury channels, given that we are all average people earning decent living??? Gotta think up of more topics to create new video contents instead of new bags umboxing or unbox and return?? Following the logic of what goes up will come down one day, will the handbags prices ever come down like stock prices??
My first designer bag was a denim LV bag (defo not a classic) but I’ve kept her as a memory. Second was a speedy 30 which was a good shout I paid around £400 for her!!!
I loved this video. I bought a Fendi for my first designer bag, 20 years ago. It was a total impulse buy- I was obsessed and still love it. I only have several others, including a vintage channel that I love. I am hoping you could do a video on which bag to purchase to mark a special occasion. I finished my M.A. degree and have been dithering about which bag to buy - so unlike me. Literally, for months I have been back and forth, unable to make a decision. Part of this is budget (e.g., I cannot afford a classic flap or Birkin). But the other part of the equation is that I want to buy this special bag and hope to still love it in 20 years. Looking for suggestions on a 'dateless' bag! If you have any! thank you.
Great video and excellent advice! I can totally relate to “buy for your lifestyle”, as I too have been guilty of buying a certain bag because I thought it was beautiful, but then found myself not able to use it since it didn’t go with my lifestyle at that point in time. I also wanted to pick your brain on the Celine Nano Luggage bag. I had bought one a few years ago, but haven’t really worn it in about a year. What are your thoughts on these bags? Would you hold them as an investment (thinking they might come back in style in the future) or sell them?
I just bought my first designer bag this year, a Prada Saffiano men’s crossbody bag. Made an unboxing video on my channel as well. I want something in leather as I know it will wear great over time, and a classic design that I can use day to night, for work or going out. Not a fan of monograms as well, so I like that Prada is quite ‘understated’ but you still get the luxury feel of the brand. :)
Hey! Steph your videos are truly truly truly inspiration for me and I really really really love your vlogs a lot you inspired me a lot and I will support you till end😭🥺🌸💗
Thank you so much for everything!! I was afraid to get back into this market l needed somewhere to put some cash & lux has done well for me in this aspect in the past but in moving a few times things got damaged &/ or lost sadly. I had a gay brother into the queen life quite heavily who recently succumb to PML. His drag name was Tiffany Chanel. 😆But he helped me keep up with all of it & take care of it & dress me out & help me with makeup & he worked @ Saks in Houston for a few years & I miss him dearly. You have helped me to regain my confidence & rebuild my collection & I am so thankful you are smart & articulate & so helpful! I want to help my friends now so that we can have the conversation I've 4 nieces that are all beauty queens I share your info with & a sister who is a former model & we just adore you. Thank you!
I've never really been a fan on LV - for me it's always been Chanel. My first designer bag was a vintage mini Chanel. I thought it was best to just save and get the dream bag as I know they are only going to get more expensive
I love coach bags as well because they are affordable for me. Coach bags don’t hold their resale value. So you could pay $300 for a coach bag, sale it, and get under $100 back. But at least someone else can enjoy the bag and not pay full price.
I have a LV Vtote bag (crossbody version) and it's discontinued. Would the price be increased if I want to sell it or would the price decrease since the style was discontinued? Please help
hello! love your reviews! I regret having bought the YSL envelope! after 1 year the tip shows serious wear ( see my profile picture) . Are you familiar with Chloe's Tess bag? thinking about buying a suede one ... but in doubt about the durability... and if the suede will show a lot of wear
Celine Box Bag in calfskin is my first love, I still love the liege texture ❤ the color Camel is so versatile I can wear it to practically anywhere, it can also be used as clutch when the strap is removed.
I may be an odd one out but I never plan on reselling bags. I love the wear, how it molds into how I use it. Don’t get me wrong I take care of them and I look after them/protect them, but I plan on bringing them to my grave 😂
His LYXBAGS tote is beautifully colored, very sturdy and the perfect size. Not too small, not too big. I look forward to joining my rotation.

I appreciate the word '' SAVAGE" to describe large and often price increases of luxury brands.
😄😄🙌

I have 4 Coach bags and one on the way a pillow tabby in Ombré
I just took my Tabby Ombré bag back it was so small
my first designer bag was an Alma BB, its is true to my style personality and i still wear it with keen relish to this day x
Great choice for a first bag! So great to hear you still love it
The same. So classic, great size and also an investment piece 🤎
Same! Just got this one yesterday and I am so happy with it.

My speedy 30 was about £400 too 12 years ago. Great investment.
My first designer bag was a Gucci Soho Disco. I still love it and use it very often.
Oh yes great choice! I know lots of people love their disco bag

If I had known how crazy the price increases can be… I would have bought the Capucines BB, Chanel Classic Flap and Lady Dior mini way earlier.
Great video!! It’s gives me a lot 2 think 🤔 about !!! Thx

@@idaranwa4370 they have the Pillow tabby and the pillow Madison bags also the rouge bag is good as well
@@idaranwa4370 they are well made and last long what is your fave bag of coach mine is the Rouge
I am currently using the coach Lori bag as my work bag. I love it! The rogues are very popular. I just bought the coach ruby. It’s awesome!
My first real designer bag was my Givenchy Antigona. I love her…I’ll never sell her.
Yes the Antigona is such a great bag!
I have a LV Vtote bag (crossbody version) and it's discontinued. Would the price be increased if I want to sell it or would the price decrease since the style was discontinued? Please help

Hey Steph i think it is “LVMH” not “LVHM”
Yes it is 🙌 I said it wrong 😄
I may be an odd one out but I never plan on reselling bags. I love the wear, how it molds into how I use it. Don’t get me wrong I take care of them and I look after them/protect them, but I plan on bringing them to my grave 😂
It’s LVMH, not LVHM!
I bought myself designer bag drunk. Which I do not recommend
helo canım güzelım😀😁
I just bought my first luxury bag. The Gucci marmont camera bag. I wanted basic and timeless when entering this luxury world! ❤
