Me too! Not very excited by the designer bags I’ve been seeing 😢. I had been eyeing the Cuyana Small Easy tote and it pushed me right over the edge 😂…so looking forward to receiving it.
@@skyblue5800 this economy with so many people struggle to survive is a time to think carefully about shopping for trend and luxury. Save that money to help and put a smile on faces. That will make you happier.
@@Hippy2021 With this unfortunate and unstable economy, inflated prices and inconsistent quality of those pricey items; I am definitely focused more so on exploring other brands, being more intentional with regards to purchasing and simply loving and using what I have.
Thank you for this! I’ve decided to step away from designer products and now put my love and money into smaller companies that put their heart into what they do. I want quality more than I want a brand name.
I find the contemporary luxury space so interesting! So much creativity. These days I think they're better than iykyk bags because they're "i know and you want to know" bags. That said I'm sad I stalled so long to get the Songmont Mini Song as it's already removed from the site and will probably never be restocked. I just didn't need any more mini bags so I never bought it. Other brands I'm eyeing: Marsell (shoes look great too), Yuzefi (cheaper Loewe for the sculptural element or Polene rival), Opelle (reliving my Alexander Wang Rocco dreams without the heavy studs), alexbender on etsy (leather looks so soft, thinking of doing a custom order)
Sezane!! I have been shopping their site since 2020 but haven’t really liked the more recent collections (the ones I do like are very similar to pieces I already purchased ). I do love the Milo bag and was deciding between that and the apc grace one ! Hope you find some great pieces for your wardrobe !!❤
The Jenn Lee collection has me wanting to book a tropical vacation 🌺🌴 It’s so resort ready and makes me want to go have some fun in the sun. Thank you for sharing!
I was recently in San Francisco and went to the Cuyana store. The quality of the leather is very good. I agree with you that the colors offered are beautiful and versatile neutrals. Thanks for introducing us to these brands.
Thank you for your suggestions, Hannah! I’ve been eyeing Cuyana and Songmont for a while, and Sezane is my obsession since 2019 😂. I haven’t bought any handbags from them yet, but have heaps of their clothes. 😅 I’m going to look up Jenn Lee’s pieces! 😊
Thank you, Hannah for talking about Songmont. I am still eyeing their Luna bag, it's so versatile, I think it can hold quite a bit. I am also eyeing their songbag, it reminds me of Hermes. Thank you again for posting this video. I will let you know which one I chose for sure. 🥰
hi I love your analysis of handbag brands and I love your channel. However, I must say about Cuyana, I've had several of their pieces over the years and they just don't hold up. Mainly invested in small leather goods, and one of them a cosmetic case set the leather fell apart on 2 of the pieces just after 2 years. Given the high price I paid for this item I would have though it would be better quality. Thank you for this channel I've always been into handbags but never thought about some of the points you bring up about the different bags. I've already purchased a parisa wang and I love it.
I’ve been to the Cuyana store in Soho a couple times when visiting NYC. I have their classic structured tote for work and love it for work and travel. It looks chic and expensive and is def quality. I also have a cosmetic bag and gifted a monogrammed cosmetic bag to a friend for her bday. Haven’t tried their clothes but their bags and accessories are lovely.
I love everything Sezane! I have several of their clothing pieces but always been eyeing their bags and shoes, so classic and well made plus they always include goodies when placing an order! From cuyana I have their AirPods case and it’s so beautiful and well made, it is holding on nicely, definitely looking into buying more from them!
Wow thank you so much! Finally someone that is profiling affordable quality bags that we can appreciate outside of the other popular over priced bags.❤
Really impressed to see this type of content. I’ve progressed past having the “it” fashion bag and have a real appreciation for quality, design and functionality. I’ve become obsessed with Longchamp and my go to daily bag is the quilted affair by Rebecca Minkoff. I have it in 15 colors and with Florida monsoon rains for months on end…I don’t sweat getting that bag wet. Value is in the eye of the beholder. This video struck a chord, and I’m interested in these brands. Thanks for stretching the bar a little higher.
Songmont bags are so elegant. I really love how their hardware gives classic designs a fresh look. The Song bag makes me think of what would happen if the Picotin and the Lindy had a baby that lucked out and got both parents' most appealing features.
I have a Songmont chocolate bag. I couldn't be happier. I wear it almost everyday and it always looks great. Materials are of superior quality and it has many nice charming details like the butterfly silk lining in some of the pockets. Everyday I like it more.
The Songmont Drippy bag looks lovely. I have my eye on a Jerome Dreyfus suede tote which is of a similar vein and I’ve spotted the Sezane suede one too! Jenn Lee is a new one to me. I will explore, thank you. My go-to brand for raffia bags and hats is Helen Kaminski, Australian brand but can be found in the US too. Lovely quality and a fair price for seasonal pieces. Luxury Houses are nice to buy from but I don’t want to spend those big bucks each time and I enjoy exploring other brands. Thanks for sharing.
Have a great time in Paris ! Think the Sézane suede messenger bag looks really interesting . If you see Polene check their bags too , I’m eyeing the Numero Dix
Can you please comment on the quality comparison between the Sezane Milo bag and the APC Grace bag? They look so similar and are nice alternatives to the Celine box bag 😍
Btw, I was looking into the Songmont and thought the bag was beautiful. However, what bug me is the gold clasp. The gold clasp seems like it is made where the back is hollow and it leaves an indentation in the leather when open. I wish they would ensure the claps is closed all around. Other than that, the bag looks really good. Thanks for sharing this video. I am always excited to see what you find next.
Songmont is a chinese brand. I knew this brand because a lot of chinese celebrities and bloggers wear this brand (if they’re not carrying LV Hermes etc.) same with oleada and amazing song
I loved Sezane until they went to Mexico and exploited a Zopotec community! They offered a Zopotec elderly woman in her 70s to be part of their campaign and made her dance while mocking her! They never paid her the measly 200 pesos which amounts to 10 dollars. Even the owner is seen laughing at her. The National Institute Of Indigenous People Condemns This Act! This was big in Mexico! As a woman of Mexican descent i condemn racist behavior! I will never shop at Sezane again!
You know what, it so nice to see those new brands from your channel, with a fraction of the price and not shouting designers. I still love my LV, Channel and other contemporary brands, don't get me wrong but as handbags lovers, regardless of brands, we love handbags 😍. I got the Uniqlo easy breezy bum bags too that you featured in your video. Got 2 in fact, one vanilla and one black. So light and i really love it and i already had one slidely smaller cross body type from Uniqlo too but without the form inside. Use it a lot for at least 2 years and still going strong. I think those with form ones can't be wash, as stated in the instruction but we can still wipe it with those wet wipe. Easy pissy. Thanks for sharing more 🤩🥰 and i really am eyeing the Cuyana with Mini Lindy's vibe, Songmont with Picotin's vibe and Sezane, which have Celine vibe but just have to choose 1 perhaps 🤭🤔
Lol I'm dying. This is the first video I've ever seen of yours and in the first minute you say that most clothing pieces from Cuyana are under $500. When the title says 5 brands without excessive price tags. Ok.
Alao pls let us know wher3 we cqn find these ? Are they availble in London or only Oaris? And can you get them on line and at 3rd party retailers or department stores?
This was a great video…I am very interested in new and different brands. Cuyana really stood out to me, followed closely by Sezane. Have a wonderful trip and looking forward to an unboxing video!! 😊
I’ve been eyeing the Songmont for awhile now as I would never pay the price for a Hermes bag and like the idea of a square shape bucket.the mini Farrow from Sezane is also appealing but I wish it had a top handle option too.
I just came across your channel and I have to say that I’m impressed by the quality and honesty of your content. I’m a fellow handbag lover and I truly agree with you on the high value concept. I don’t own any (so called) luxury bag but I do own and collect many high quality, beautifully designed handbags, mainly from Spanish, Italian and French brands (and some American as well). I always look for quality, craftsmanship and understated design. By the way, I love the recommendations, three of them are new to me, only Sezane was known to me. I just purchased the Luna bag in Jade color, gorgeously understated. Thank you so much for your videos!
Songmont; I hope they pay the local artisans well, worthy of their skills and time. (Companies tend to under-pay workers, many times the reason why they open shops/factories in SEA countries)
I'm pretty much "anti-brand" because of all that goes along with it, from the absolutely ridiculous prices (I see you, Hermes), to the over-the-top gushing from buyers, and everything in between. There are MANY pieces on Etsy and other sites made by hard-working creators who can create full-on leather bags (like the ones mentioned in this video) that are gorgeous, and are even spot-on in replicating certain high-end brands, while doing so for MUCH less (even custom bags, plus shipping costs!). THOSE are the bags we should be buying, and we should treasure, instead of perpetuating those high end brands that aren't really worth the hype (I'm talking to you, LV).
Lovely bags defo more affordable. I have started buying vintage but have saved this video and will be checking the websites. So your off to Paris. Are you going to attempt the Hermes online appointment systems? Whatever you do, please enjoy your time in Paris, it is a beautiful city. Went with a friend a few years ago on the Eurostar. I want to go once again.
I purchased the Luna bag and no regrets. I purchased the ivory and came back and punched the black, and also the shearling one ❤. My daughter also love it so much that she also purchased one
Thanks for sharing this. I am definitely into no hype, no drama, and no crazy high price tags brands especially handbags these days. If mid brands can match glazing color with the leather color then there is no reason why designer bags cannot do the same with that kind of price tag. Also, less marketing is more appealing for me these days because company pays a lot of money and gives free bags to celebrities to market their handbags while making us pay for that. No thank you. Thanks for this. I love the sezane brand!
Hi! I have the small version of the song bag. In the taupe color. Omg. I love it so much. The leather quality is amazing and.. it smells sooo good. Sounds weird, but it's true!! Love the bag and all the details. Highly recommend!!
I loved Cuyana when they first started. They used to give a portion of the proceeds from each piece to a specific charity. They stopped that within a couple years and in my opinion, kind of lost their way in terms of ethical business.
I’m not recommending them. I said I was eyeing them and I recommend checking them out for anyone who’s also interested. I do own one of them now… see my latest video. And I went to go see one of the other brands while in Paris recently. I bought a few things from Sezane.
I've also heard really good things about Sézane & Cuyana. When I need a new tote, I will definitely head over to Cuyana! One other brand that seems to be around this same price range, that I feel is SUPER underrated is Poléne! Their bags are honestly incredible, and so unique. Personally, I feel that they're on par with Loewe or Bottega Veneta in terms of quality of their leathers, interesting designs, & overall craftsmanship (for less than a quarter of the cost, in many cases!). 👍
Have a great time in Paris!! Thank you for this video- I looked through the sites - beautiful designs! I pre-ordered the sculptured handle bag from Cuyana! I love your reviews and your videos!
Hello, I just signed in. Thanks for this video. I am going to try the The Songmont. I really like the bags you showed. I like Sezane a lot and I have purchased a Cuyana tote as a gift. I would like to recommend Rodo from Italy. I have purchased a few things from them. Well, bye and Ciao from Italy!
Thank you for showcasing the Jenn Lee brand - I just bought the Santorini bag and it is gorgeous! The craftsmanship is impeccable and so reasonably priced. I would have paid A LOT more for this bag and it would still be worth it! I also live on the East Coast and feel these bags can be used daily from May-September - no need to wait for a vacation. Get the bag! Polene (France) is another great brand as well as Strathberry (England).
I have various clothing and leather items from Cuyana from over several years. Their product quality is excellent. I only have Sezane clothes, but overall good experience with them.
Wow thanks for these! Love the aesthetic of each and uh, there is a brand out there after my name!? Lol. I need to get their stuff so that it’s automatically stamped with my name 😂.
Looking forward to you checking out cuyana. I feel like the brand and style matches you very well! I believe you'll really like their bags - good quality and very light weight leather bags which I think you will appreciate. I believe they also offer a program to buy/sell used cuyana bags which also shows how committed they are to sustainability. I like that they are actually taking action vs only talking about how they aim to be sustainable. Enjoy your trip and can't wait to see what goodies you get!
Thank you for sharing these brands. I’ve been on the search for good quality leather bags. I will definitely check these out. I already eyed about 4 different bags I want to purchase.
Sezane is my most favourite brand. I’d love to hear more reviews of Sezane clothings from you. You have such beautiful, calming voice. Thank you for the video!
I’ve purchased the Cuyana easy tote you showed in olive by mistake. I meant to order black but I love it. I order the Sezane bucket bag but returned it because it was to large for me personally but it was beautiful the packaging everything I’ll be reordering there mini
I've been so bored with all the top designer bags lately, and this video came just in time. Thank you!
Same! Its all you see in social media. Lately all influencers look/dress the same, there is no individuality anymore.
Me too! Not very excited by the designer bags I’ve been seeing 😢. I had been eyeing the Cuyana Small Easy tote and it pushed me right over the edge 😂…so looking forward to receiving it.

❤ I couldn’t keep their beautiful dresses because I’m too disproportionate. They were so beautiful.

Cuyana has been on my radar for a few years. The minimalist chic aesthetic speaks to me. Thank you for the Jenn Lee introduction; exquisite.

Under $500 for a tote is a good deal??!!?!?!?!???? What financial planet are you on?????

Thank you for leaving such a kind comment. Absolutely, there are so many beautiful brands out there to that offer high value.
This looks like the same junk fakey vinyl bags to me.
The last brand reminds me of Celine without Celine price.
They’re all very pricey still. That little chocolate bag is 200.
The cuyana is beautiful ❤
Songmont; I hope they pay the local artisans well, worthy of their skills and time.
(Companies tend to under-pay workers, many times the reason why they open shops/factories in SEA countries)
I would hope so too, especially as the founder herself is Asian and she employs her mom and aunties.

In the same high quality bracket I'd recommend Avril Gau for shoes and sandals - I haven't tested their bags.
I drooled over the songmong song bag. literally the best investment i made and the best part is it is multi-functional !
Oh wow, I’m so glad to hear this!!
The Jenn Lee bags look so beautiful!
Try to check Aranaz too ❤ Beautiful bags from the Philippines ❤
Lovely bags defo more affordable. I have started buying vintage but have saved this video and will be checking the websites. So your off to Paris. Are you going to attempt the Hermes online appointment systems? Whatever you do, please enjoy your time in Paris, it is a beautiful city. Went with a friend a few years ago on the Eurostar.

I have multiple cuyana clothes and leather goods. All amazing quality and materials. Will highly recommend.
Def checking out cyana and songmont as well as sexagesimal.. have fun with your family in Paris❤
I purchased the Luna bag and no regrets. I purchased the ivory and came back and punched the black, and also the shearling one ❤. My daughter also love it so much that she also purchased one
Anyone know if cuyana is available in Europe? The website only shows the US prices so I guess it isn't.
I bought myself songmont reset tofu bag, was contemplating if I should also get the chocolate bag...but it is just so cute!
Always look forward to your videos ❤
I can't wait to hear more about Sezane. Their clothes look amazing.
p.s. Have a marvelous time in Paris!
I bought their dresses before. Very well made and fabric is very good too. Very reasonably price given the cutting and workmanship.
Dagne Dover allyn tote is also good. I have been searching for a tote for three months now. I checked out cuyana bags, but I like Dagne Dover bag more
Songmont, gorgeous bags.
love this curation
Cubans is a lovely brand. Very nice craftsmanship
Omg the most beautiful vacation bags. Never seen such beautiful summer bags in the lux stores

I’m a fan of Cuyana leather items, not the clothes. Love, love Sézane clothes.
Really enjoyed this video! Loved Songamont. I own Cuyana and have been happy with my tote. Safe travels!
Can’t wait for you to add one of these to your collection! Love the simplicity of the styles!
I loved Cuyana when they first started. They used to give a portion of the proceeds from each piece to a specific charity. They stopped that within a couple years and in my opinion, kind of lost their way in terms of ethical business.
They now work with the HEART, non profit that supports women who are victims of abuse.
@@hellocatwalkcity @hello catwalk city Oh that's great to hear, thanks for sharing! I'll go do some research on their relationship with HEART!
I was wondering when you’d mention these brands. Glad you’re venturing out.
Sezane is nice but their clothes are too small. I've hears Cuyana has lovely things but they aren't really my style.
Sezane black duffel bag is calling to me. It is stunning. Understated yet glamorous.
I’ve been debating a piece from Sézane for months now. They’re stunning but definitely an investment.
omg why did you share sezane? They're so good and my go to when I need anything!
🙈 🙈 🙈
I love these brands. I’ve been eyeing Cuyana and Sezane for a few years too. Just haven’t pulled the trigger. Trying to be good but so hard! Hahahaa
How you recommending bags you don’t own tho?
I’m not recommending them. I said I was eyeing them and I recommend checking them out for anyone who’s also interested. I do own one of them now… see my latest video. And I went to go see one of the other brands while in Paris recently. I bought a few things from Sezane.
Ohhhh i love the Jenn Lee. I love the caning on the bags. Sezanne is also on my radar

Thank you for recommending Rodo! I haven’t heard of them before and will have a look!
Love, love, love! Thanks for sharing❤
Thank you for sharing!! I will surely look into these brands especially Cuyana… the leather looks buttery soft and high quality. 💕
Thank you for showcasing the Jenn Lee brand - I just bought the Santorini bag and it is gorgeous! The craftsmanship is impeccable and so reasonably priced.

Oh my gosh! I really want to order from Jenn Lee! I’m so glad you’re happy with your bag! I can imagine how lovely it is.
I don’t know how I’m going to survive next week when you are on vacation and not posting videos 😢 Loved this video today! Thank you ❤
I have various clothing and leather items from Cuyana from over several years. Their product quality is excellent. I only have Sezane clothes, but overall good experience with them.
Absolutely agree! I love my clothes from Sezane!
Wow thanks for these! Love the aesthetic of each and uh, there is a brand out there after my name!? Lol. I need to get their stuff so that it’s automatically stamped with my name 😂.
Thanks for this video ! I like the Songmont handbag that looks like the Hermès Picotin, but better because of the crossbody strap...brilliant!
I agree, it’s super cute and more versatile with the strap!
I got a rattan Jenn Lee bag last summer and love it ❤
Such a wonderful video! I absolutely love Sezane, and it was nice to be introduced to Songmont and Jenn Lee. What are your thoughts on APC?
I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! I have two APC bags and am very happy with them!
Looking forward to you checking out cuyana. I feel like the brand and style matches you very well! I believe you'll really like their bags - good quality and very light weight leather bags which I think you will appreciate. I believe they also offer a program to buy/sell used cuyana bags which also shows how committed they are to sustainability. I like that they are actually taking action vs only talking about how they aim to be sustainable.
Enjoy your trip and can't wait to see what goodies you get!
Beautiful bags. I must say, Jenn lee is my favorite.😍
Thank you for another great video. I definitely have my eye on either the baros or Cabos tote from Jenn Lee.
Thank you for sharing these brands. I’ve been on the search for good quality leather bags. I will definitely check these out. I already eyed about 4 different bags I want to purchase.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the video!
Does songmont have any sale? Also how do the bags hold up?
Love the Songmont bag! I bought myself and mom ones. I use it a ton! Great quality and smells amazing lol
Very nice video, but I suggest that you reduce considerably the questions accent when you are not question! It really annoys! But great movie
Thank you for your feedback! I will work on it.
I love Sezane! I’ve been shopping there for some time and I also want everything on their site 😅
Omg I am a subscriber
Even if one has money rather than labels one should support quality
Thank you
Sezane is my most favourite brand. I’d love to hear more reviews of Sezane clothings from you.
You have such beautiful, calming voice. Thank you for the video!
Aw lovely! Sezane is such a beautiful brand! Thank you!
Happy Sunday babe ❤❤❤❤❤ 1st here supporting my bestie ❤️
I’ve purchased the Cuyana easy tote you showed in olive by mistake. I meant to order black but I love it. I order the Sezane bucket bag but returned it because it was to large for me personally but it was beautiful the packaging everything I’ll be reordering there mini
How lovely to hear about the Cuyana tote!
