- MY TOP 6: BEST AND WORST SMALL (MINI/NANO) DESIGNER HANDBAGS TO BUY AND OWN!
Here I share with you my findings and experience with 6 iconic, classic shaped handbags. I have tried to include popular bags such as the Chanel Coco Flap Top Handle, the Saint Laurent YSL Toy LouLou and the mini Lady Dior. But I’ve also included some others from Loewe, Aspinal of London and of course the Louis Vuitton Alma BB.
These are my personal experiences and I wanted to share them as some of you might be able to decide from this what bags you think you could live with, and therefore, you might rule some out etc.

I’m gonna be really financially stable in about two years and we’re gonna go shopping and have loads of fun together, Sophie. Love love loveee you. From Ghana, West Africa.
That actually sounds fun Mee Me!!! Hugs to you my friend! xxx
My relationship with small bags:
1) Use them, struggle through the day getting things in and out. Complain non-stop.
2) Change into a bigger bag.
3) Now the bigger bag feels like they weigh a ton and a half. Complain non-stop.
4) Go back to the small bag.
5) Repeat never-ending process.
This is totally me!
And I’d probably add
Big bags: large bulky not so feminine look
Change to small bag
Small and cute, but end up having to carry important papers from work at the end of the day to finish during weekends, struggling to carry them home without damaging them.
Same experience for me 😂
I have this issue every time I go out with 2 kids....
Same! I’ve settled on not using anything that’s bigger than my current medium bag so it forces me to clean it out more often 😆... it’s a light bag but feels heavy quickly.
😂😂 u said it right
Hey friends! I'm making these best/worst videos into a mini series as you are all telling me how much you love them. Haven't spoken about small bags in so long so I hope you enjoy this xx
Sophie Shohet | Fashion Beauty Lifestyle Always do ❤️
thank you , this was so helpful. I think I just crossed the lady dior off my list, add the coco top handle and moved the ysl toy lou lou to the top of the list, in pink or lavender please!! :)
I love your lemon cc!
OOOO Sophie this is SUCH a good dupe for that dior print you were looking at! I love it on you!
Michele McGlone the strap is detachable and you can switch it out to a metal chain. I love the toy Lou Lou.
It’s on my list.
Putting a brush without cover to those expensive bags make my hear tear 😂 Love all of them, as I love small bags 🛍️
I actually prefer side bags to be at my hip. I know it may not "look right" but it's definitely more comfortable and makes access easier too
That lemon Chanel is a real beauty! Planning to get my first luxury bag, the alma bb, thanks to your rave reviews about it.;)
Emily T yeeees girl, get it and you won’t have any regrets! I recently purchased my very first luxury bag and it was the Alma Bb in Damier Ebene canvas and omg it was worth all the hard work and savings ❤️
Yay I got my first luxury bag too!! I love it so much!! It was so worth it! I have a Louis Vuitton it is super cute!
That blouse/top really looks like it's from Dior
limitless yes!!! I thought so!
I thought the same lol
Her top is part of Instagram style blogger Lorna Luxe's collection with In the Style us.inthestyle.com/lorna-luxe-impossibly-perfect-black-cowl-neck-power-shoulder-top
I THOUGHT THIS TOO !!!
It doesn't because of quality but it's a great inspired alternative, love it
I have never in my life followed any influencer or you tuber except for you. Your videos go straight to the point, provide good content, and you’re honest. Well done!
She is down to earth & lovely.
Not-even -German yes very true! That’s why I enjoy watching her videos and I never skip through.
@@laraahmad8004 exactement. Me too.😘
Love your bag reviews, Sophie. Your realistic and honest approach is very much appreciated by this fan. From day 1, your genuine warmth came through. You are just lovely 💖
One more question...sorry to be such a pest. Since you have a Lady Dior lambskin bag and a YSL bag in a similar leather, would you mind sharing your personal opinion on which leather is a bit more durable? I mean I realize lambskin is more fragile than caviar or patent, but wonder which company works with a stronger leather. Thanks a million.
Omg the color of that mini coco handle 😍 i had never seen that color before!
Just bought a LV Alma BB!!!!! thanks to your reviews, so helpful!!
I love how intelligent you are Sophie! Your knowledge on these luxury bags is truly amazing - you sound like a professional stylist, plus your knowledge really helps everyone out! love you videos xo
Sophie, I love your honesty! Thank you for showing us the highs and lows of these small bags. As always, Love you and your channel!!! 💙💙💙
I was struggling between the toy LouLou and the Alma BB because you have said so many good things about them! I went for the latter at the end, three months later and still very happy with my first luxury bag purchase 😊
All i can think about when watching this is the hygene aspect of dumping an uncovered powder brush into your bag.
That blouse is everything Sophie. It’s beautiful 😍
Very useful video Sophie ! And complete agree with you re straps! I have the Gucci disc soho and the strap is atrocious!
Also your makeup and skin look stunning !! Please do a video on this!!
Xxxxx
I REALLY love this video! Thank you for showing real life with these bags!
hi sophie, I just want you to know thank you for doing that Alma BB video. Because of that, I worked hard and saved up to get mine. I am happy and I enjoy using it till now! It’s a great purse that fit my lifestyle!
Love your top, this info really helped me as I’ve been salivating about the Aspinal bag for months
Hey Sophie thank you so much for sharing and I found it super helpful and informative! ❤️❤️BTW your nails are absolutely amazing!!😍😍
I've been watching you for ages now, but never one to comment literally, i don't know anyone else with great advice on bags like your self!
you inspired me to get the alma bb and i absolutely love it. still need to go and get it hot stamped!! xxx keep up the videos i love them xxxx
Omg I’ve been wanting for video like this I’ve been lusting for a few of your choices
The colour of that Chanel bag is beautiful. I wouldn’t know what to put in or how to wear the rabbit bag but it looks great.
Lol every time you put that powder brush in I flinched a bit like ah! It’s gonna dirty the inside!🤣
Right after watching this I just bought the coco handle bag in the large size!! I just adore your style and your personality!! ❤️❤️❤️
Love your shirt Sophie! Sometimes I wonder if these designers should just come out with multiple chain lengths that you can choose from. I suppose that might hurt resale though lol.
The chain length idea - that's not a bad shout Kacey!xx
Kacey Marioghae that is an awesome thought!!!! Would work not only for those who want cross body versus those who don’t, but also so helpful to accommodate people’s different heights!
Great idea!
Sophie, I agree with you 100%, about included (clip-on) purse straps; almost ALL luxury brands consider them an afterthought. They're either too thin/delicate for the size of the bag (esp. for large bags), ultra-plain/borderline ugly, legitimately poor quality (unsealed edges, paperthin depth, uneven stitching, leather of different quality/grain/dye-lot than bag), or lacking in functionality (e.g. not adjustable, only 2-3 holes for adjustment, etc.). I ALWAYS check the strap with the same rigor I do the bag. I occasionally purchase an additional strap for better functionality, as I'm 5'9"+, & most straps are too short for my liking. Unfortunately, I have also purchased additional straps, b/c the included ones would have been untenable for daily use. I adore large & oversized bags, & sometimes the weight of the EMPTY bag, is enough to make the laughably-narrow strap dig in uncomfortably. It always angers me, when it feels like no one even bothered to try on the bag WITH the strap, before the combination was signed-off...Unless, it's ALL just a nefarious plot, to get us to buy overpriced additional straps w/our bags ;).💋
Adore your Dior outfit in this video. I think I’m going to have to go shopping again for that top😍😍😍
I’m commenting before I’ve even watched this video because your top just took my breath away 😍 beautiful.
Love the video as always! Just noticed you are also wearing your watch on your right hand! I always wore it like that and I am even right handed!
Keep up the good work! 🤗😘
Loved this one, thank you! Im sure the smaller bags are closer to a lot of people’s budget so it was super useful. Thank you 😀
Very true, sometimes you just don't know until you use it. Totally understand. Great video!
I appreciate reviews, because you don't know a bag until you live with it. It is best to learn before you invest if able. Your phone fitting and ease of getting into the bag are top of my requirements for any bag.
Honestly, I love living vicariously through you haha
Yay!! New Sophie video. Such a fan.
The pink with the yellow is darling!
I’m so in love with the Alba BB in the Damier Ebene. I don’t ever leave home without a bottle of water so it’s a bonus for me too if I can fit one in my bag. I just think that this bag is so great for the money when some of the bags you’re comparing it to are double or more the price. In addition, there’s really no worry about caring for it as it’s the coated canvas. That’s it I’m buying it!😊❤️
That toile blouse with your Chanel Coco Flap Top Handle though! I have that handbag in a large size, (and in a dark green), and I LOVE it! This video gives A LOT of great points! Thank you, Sophie!
I learned a lot watching this video about small bags, but your blouse literally took my breath away. I was certain that it must be Christian Dior, and I was floored when I looked it up and saw the price! It looks amazing on you.😊
Fab review as always...so many lovely bags to choose from so hard to know whats best. I no longer carry much around with me so am thinking the mini Lady Dior might suit. Still wondering though cos Alma BB is also on my mind. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.
Hahaha Sophie your face as you crossbody the top handle Chanel bag on you....Priceless 👩❤️👩🤣🤣🤣
You hold yourself very good in front of the camera. Your TH-cam is like Top Gear but about bags 💓
Awwwhh☺️ Sophie I remembered that Chanel lemon yellow bag you bought at the airport the last moment before you and David went on vacation💕 i gotta say, I’m really loving the 🍋🍋🍋 color everytime i see it on your videos😍😍😍
Liked before watching! Love ya girl!👏🏿🙌🏿❤️
I´m really like this kind of videos. It´s very informative. Thanks! /Marie from Sweden
Love your videos, Sophie! That Chanel top handle is so beautiful! :D
Oh my gosh, I loooove that top. So beautiful on you 💕
Just started Buliding my luxury collection and just found your channel ❤️
It’s my phone that David doesn’t know about 😂😂😂😂😂
Nicole Laska ahahah.
Lol, the private line 😂
Looking lovely as always, love your top
Love this video, Sophie!
I love that Dior shirt, Sophie! That print is everything!!!!!
Nice one. I really enjoy watching your videos. Each video shows your honesty and sincerity. By the way, beautiful blouse. 😊
You are so kind, and thank YOU for watching - I appreciate it :) xx
Thank you so much Sophie. You really helped me with this video.I love the coco handle.I went to the chanel store but couldn't find one so I'm waiting for the next collection.Your blouse top is amazing I thought it was Dior.You rock once again!!Lots of love to you.
10 seconds in and I know I’m gonna love this video. You’re absolutely adorable 😍
Thanks sophie. I live your videos with your honest sharing!!
This is a great review and I love the LouLou Toy and the Chanel. What I like about these small bags is that one can put them on the dining table. Also, I have small transparent makeup bags that fit into a small bag and I really prune what I put into a small bag. I also have card holders and change purses that come in handy with a very small bag. Mind you, the Loewe rabbit and the Aspinal (a brand that a lot of people love now) and the Dior one are all too small to be practical.
I just love the rabbit :3 that shirt looks lovely on you x
Love you Sophie! Always look forward to your videos.
Thank you so much for watching as always Alicia!xx
I love the small bag look as well, but I completely agree that when you actually use it and you’re trying to shove things inside, it becomes really frustrating. That yellow bag though 😍
100% agree Sophie re taking awhile what works for you. I’ve bought and sold quite a few for various reasons 😂love the video x
Great video as always!
I love your blouse! Is that Dior? So beautiful! I love your 🍋 yellow Chanel bag too. Such a pretty, fresh colour!
I love love loved this video! Don’t you worry...the Alma BB and Toy Lou Lou are on my list! When talking about getting a good “bang for your buck”, have you ever considered the LV Pochette Felicie (particularly in Epi or Vernis)? I’m really eyeing the Epi version in Rose Ballerine as a spring/wedding attendee bag, plus it comes with two inserts! I’d love to hear your opinion on it. Thanks as always, you’re amazing!
Hi Sophie. Thank you so much for sharing. So helpful! Have a great week.:)
Thank you for showing the inside of the bags😍😍😍 (youtubers normally forget it)
Hi Sophie, I want to start off by saying that I love your videos. They're not only informative, but your delivery is also quite humorous.
I was wondering if you could shed some insight on how much of a discount when buying secondhand compared to buying new would you consider a good deal for different brands/styles? (The handbags I'm most interested in are the Chanel classic flaps 😛)
Your right about the mini Lady Doir the medium I have works best more room inside
I love the medium too Cynthia, it's actually my preferred size as it still looks sort of small but is quite practical xx
I just adore you and your gorgeous personality. I really wanted the Mini Dior, mainly because I adore the chain strap, but had to go with the My Lady for the size. Great video!
Lauren you are so kind!! Thank you for the love and support :)
The mini Lady Dior is a great bag, and I think for those normal people who dont carry 2 phones around (unless you have a big ol' Samsung of course!) you should be fine with it xxx
unrelated to the topic but i never heard anyone calling the iphone "apple x" lol i actually loved that bit so much! have a nice day sophie ❤️
A good point! It was called that in ADs here when it launched a couple of years back and it's stuck with me now lol!xx
Love the top! You are always so classy.
Thank you for making videos and making it so much less boring to be sat around waiting at the doctor’s office. 😄
this top is so beautiful. It looks so elegant and sophisticated. Definitely you should wear this kind of outfits more often
They are lovely bags, don't hate them!! I'm in love with the golden rabbit bag.
Great video Sophie! Especially now as summer is here and lots of people are going for smaller bags 💃🏻☺️
Thank you so much for watching Henry - here's hoping we keep the summer weather for longer yet :) xxx
Loved your video🙏🏻🥰 Even if it does not hold much,the mini lady dior is still on the top of my wish list 🙏🏻 Sophie,LOVE your Dior shirt 🙏🏻🙏🏻👌🏻🥰 Hugs xoxo ❤️🌸
I love the three best bags you mentioned haha they are all in my wish list now
Love these type of videos, not every purchase is a good one but we all got a shopping problem lol
Love your videos Sophie! You should look into getting those retractable powder brushes (it's a lipstick type of design) so your bag won't get dirty inside. Hugs from Houston TX
The Chanel coco top handle is my DREAM BAG!!
As always, such an informative video! Would you ever consider doing an iPhone and Samsung comparision video?!
Sophie, I I just adore you and all your vids....this is another great one...all of these bags are gorgeous but I understand the frustration of not being able to fit stuff in your bags or being able to get things out...ugh....it's so annoying...but the bags are so gorgeous, you just put up with it lol
You really don’t know until you’ve lived with a bag so true!! I’m here for the mini lady dior and that would sooo annoy me. I think I’m gonna have to look at the next size up after watching this! ❤️😜
The yellow and pink colours together are called ice cream or neapolitan look. Good video.
We love you Sophie ! ❤️❤️❤️
YAY! I love these ranking videos! Please do more :)
I appreciate that feedback very much, thank you so much for watching and commenting my friend!xx
That yellow coco handle is to die for!!!
Such an accurate statement. You really do not know if you like a bag or not until you use it awhile, at least it is true for me. I cannot figure out the whys of the chain lengths on Chanel bags either❤️👍
You got the Dior blouse!! It looks amazing on you!
Chanel has a handbag lab that test the chain length... and i dont thinks they do a good job, lol
Nice video sophie
I loved your golden bangle sooo much ,it drew my attention directly 😊
Wished u put its link in the description box ..can u plz?thnx dear 🌸🌸
Thank you for your review. I was really hoping to buy a bag that won't break my bank as an every-dayer, but I can't get myself to drop a mortgage payment on a bag. I think however i would be able to save up for the LV Alma BB and is not an over-the-top style that can be used a lot. Thank you for showing the size!
Omg. You are gorgeous. I love your top.💖
Sophie could you do a video about watches? Like best luxury watches for woman?
I'll never understand why small bags so expensive , it drives me nuts , but they're so pretty
that blouse looks BEAUTIFUL
I suggested to my friend to buy the metal chain from Coach to use with her toy YSL LouLou and she said it really enhanced the look and made the purse look more luxe.
I bought the nicer thicker strap for my Prada top handle. The skinny strap it came with wasn’t proportionate to the weight and size of the bag.
Sometimes it feels these designers really skimp with the strap.
I love the colour of the Chanel bag. The interior reminds me of the LV pochette Matis
I know what you mean, the yellow is a really fresh tone! Hugs to you my friend!xx
You are my sunshine my only sunshine you make happy when skies are gray swear Sophie I love ❤️ love you 😘 so much I can’t wait to see your videos when the notification comes on
Ahhhh, thank you Sil C! I appreciate your support so much, hugs to you my friend! xxx
