Thanks for the Coach mention. Although I love and admire luxury bags, I choose not to spend thousands on a handbag. For me, contemporary designers such as Coach afford me the opportunity to buy quality items at a more reasonable price point. I appreciate when these bags are mentioned in a complimentary way. Please continue to highlight them whenever possible. They do have a substantial following. Great review, btw... Great topic!
Susan M - Me Too!!!! I’m a Coach (and even cheaper - Rebecca Minkoff) gal all the way! Some of the larger Coach bags are absolutely stunning and the quality is beyond excellent (IMHO). I still love these videos and admire designer bags but I just can’t bring myself to plunk down that amount of cash. Lol 🤷🏼♀️
Mary Carol Same here!
I have been a Coach fan for years. I even have some outlet Coach that I like. I'm not sure I would buy her bags even if I could afford them but I have to admit they are nice bags. People think I'm crazy spending money on a Coach bag but I really like them. I have several styles and colors and change them depending on the season and my mood. I have to wear a uniform to work everyday so a nice bag is something I get to choose and enjoy.
Agree 100%, Susan M.
I just bought 2 coach bags and was gifted one recently. I now LOVE Coach!! I have a navy crossbody, a mini backpack and the Parker. Love them. I've showed each of them on my channel too. I'm a tiny TH-camr, so shameless or shameful plug here 😁😘
Anyway, regardless...I love Coach.
I honestly feel like you were meant for TH-cam lol . They way you talk & express yourself , to the way you go into detail about everything . I love it
Oh my goodness...this is such a nice comment. Thank you so much!!!
No problem ! Because of you I bought my first designer bag to the exact color & even samorga organizer . Keep up the good reviews ❤️
So true!
Wow, thank you SO MUCH!!! Seriously...so very nice of you!!!
Cover the logo on a bag, and if it still looks good, then it is a good bag.
I agree, the so called luxury brands was too much expensive and I don't think it deserves the money we pay. I have got several bags from www.hqreps.com .They are amazing,,, but the price is only 10% of the real one. What can we say ?
@@renamila9982 is this a legit website?
If you were to cover the logo of any Louis Vuitton bag, the bag would be invisible lol
Yess, agree with you, I always do that before deciding to buy a bag
that balenciaga bag is just tacky imo. the font is ugly and the logo is too big.
Not hating on Shea. just that bag.
I agree. I hate it. Who wants the name spelled out like that. Maybe it’s my age. I’m over 50.
Definitely think it's more trendy atm with logo mania everywhere but it's not for me either
I agree! I hate when purses have the handles and a strap. It looks so awkward.
Victor Relmek the handles and the strap have nothing to do with it.
Hate it too
I like the belenciaga....BUT the big name printed is terrible...
Susan Golden they afraid people got mix up with Michael Kors bag without the name on it
I love that
I agree, LV Alma in either DE or leather is a much better option imo.
I agree...I bought a coach bag a lil small but I love it! The color kinda like the LV Damier.
That bag is not flattering… lol 😬
Balenciaga totally copied the LV Alma!!!!
Linaa the structure and shape is identical
Many many designers have...I'm not even sure it started with LV actually!
Before Balenciaga for sure!!
Shea Whitney lv started the alma shape. It’s iconic to lv
Hermes bolide mini has the same shape as well.
YOU ARE AMAZING. I love how you are so honest and direct! Your reviews are very detailed and balanced. You're one of my favorites! Super bubbly!
Honestly, I didn’t become such a big follower of Shea’s channel due to the luxury handbags, I still watch the videos because I just love watching Shea (she’s great 💕), but these videos have taught me so much about luxury brands and handbag types and things that luxury brand lovers care about and I now have a new topic to bring up at work when I come across a women with a designer bag.
Before I never would have known who it was by or what bag it was, but after Shea Whitney I can call out a good amount of bags and impress quite a bit of my customer 😏
However, I occasionally question if I should watch these videos because I get way too tempted to purchase her suggestions haha
Oh that's so cool!!! Thank you so much for commenting this...it made me smile & happy!!
That's a good point I realized that turned me onto designer bags
for so long i only saw them as a way to show off you have the funds, but i didn't think that negatively because i still wanted those items myself, but learning which ones are worth the cost and how to find quality in the midrange literally changed my perspective on everything
I love the way you explain the details by your own experiences, that makes you a better presenter. It also makes me consider now what I need especially an all go to hand bag or cross body bag when I travel.
Glad you mentioned coach, they have some really underrated designs & for really good quality & price 🥰
I seriously LOVE the gray YSL.
Finally found someone that gets to the point! Love love your blog!
People who diss coach have nothing better to do with their lifes and need a hobby lol.
I love all my coach items, they hold up so well over the years as everyday bags.
Dyed To Match me too! Have been a Coach fan since the 1987!
Plus another point is it’s American and if you live in America it’s nice to support your country’s quality luxury bags!
Love this visit of bags… I did purchase the givenchy antigonia and feel the shape is what sold me on it because I like speeds so much… however it’s a heavy hitter bag … to me it’s a serious bag in black… funeral, office, a serious classic black bag. So if that’s your purpose for sure get it and love it. Heavier than Louise vuitton and very well made. I’d lean towards saying basic closet necessity. It’s a favorite for me. Pouchette metis I have a love hate relationship there bc you’re right … most anything monogram says casual but in black leather empriante the metis is a home run filling in all the boxes and blk elevates the whole look. Best reguards!
I totally agree with you regarding the coach purses! The quality is amazing and the newer collections have Chanel style chain which feels super expensive 😍 I love my coach as much as my YSL/ LV
@16:01 “I’m sorry.” Regretfully but lovingly stares at the Chanel bag. This cracked me up so much 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m happy to have discovered your channel.
I feel like most monogrammed canvas makes any outfit more casual. That's why I prefer the empreinte monogram
Great video. I appreciate the model shots to see how long the strap is on you. Very helpful information on the cross body style. there are so many choices right now
Thank you Leslie..I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!!
Perception is everything, I remember saving up for my first LV and some coworkers automatically thought it was fake because I was a young black girl. At that point I really stopped caring what people's opinions were, people will always have their opinions based on how you look. After this I shopped in *amzrepe* . If you drive a Bentley and get out of the car with a fake Hermès, no one will question you.
So... I knew the antigona would be low on the list because I had the same issues you're experiencing and I think just about everyone else that has the bag has dealt with them. It does get MUCH MUCH better. Keep using it, possibly stuff the bag between the handles or just randomly stretch it open every once in a while. The leather gets softer, the zipper gets smoother, the "teeth" get duller. Took me a few weeks but now it's an absolute fav. xx
Shea I keep bubble wrap in my bags when I am not using them. It maintains the shape really well. I have a gorgeous black Karl Lagerfeld shoulder bag that everyone mistakes for a Channel CC clasp bag. It cost $350 in Newman Marcus Rack.
Well, Karl Lagerfeld was the creative designer for Chanel for many years! Good to know a similar bag under his label is or was available for a reasonable price! Thanks!
Yes ..I do the same so that it does not lose its shape
Steph Boyd Hi! Could you please tell the name of the bag? Thanks in advance!
I love crossbody bags and my trifecta is: a crossbody, with a top handle, and a back or front pocket for the cell phone. Thanks Shea!
Thank you for doing a handbag video! Don’t be so hard on yourself, your old handbag videos are why I started watching you!❤️
Cannot wait for the closet reveal Shea! You look radiant in this video. Your hair is major goals. ❤️
Awe thank you!!! And YES, I cant wait for the closet video!
I couldn’t stand with the logo balanciago
My Metis (in Reverse) is 2 years old & I absolutely LOVE it!! So far no issues at all. Fun video.
Absolutely love!!!
Was waiting for you to add your new Fendi bag and be #1!! Its such a beautiful piece
Elizabeth Salinas was waiting for the same lol
I agree and had just posted pretty much the same comment.
Well it is a great bag...but it's definitely not a crossbody bag!! :)
I can see that now going through your IG pictures 🤔🤔🤔
Lol i bought the same bag after her reveal thats how much im influenced by her reviews 🤗 and i do love mine
"Reaching into a deathgrip of teeth" Lol I love you. 😂❤
Thanks for saying good things about Coach. All of my bags but 2 are from there. I would love to own a Chloe or LV some day, but I love my Coach bags for now.
Great video Shea! A little tip regarding the LV Favorite - I have purchased a purse organiser for it as as as soon as I have purchase it, and it's still in a perfect shape, plus spotless!
Same here im so happy with that organizer.. and when it comes to the hardware and those scratches I’ve ordered a hardware protector specifically made for the favorite from thehandbaghaven .. that is also really nice if someone worry about scratches 😊
Hi@maggyh what organiser did u get & where from? I too hav an LV Favourite & would like to get one.Many thanx
SHEA. You are so goofy and relatable 👸🏻👸🏻👸🏻
HAHA!! I'm glad you think so :)
Relatable? Not to me. I can't spend that much on luxury brands. My paychecks, while substantial, went towards my living expenses, almost entirely. I'm single and don't have another to depend on. I was lucky and thrilled when Coach went on sale.
Can’t wait for your new closet tour ! I’ve watched the empty one and was surprised by the emptiness in the center of the room, can’t wait to see what you’ve done with it!!
Yep...cant wait to show you what I've done with the center :) So glad I didn't put an island there!
The purple velvet Gucci bag is soooo pretty! oof
Yessss it really is!!!
That gucci velvet purple bag is just a perfection! Combination of gold+ purple is the best!!!
I have several lamb skin Chanel. I understand your concern, I usually condition it after I use it for about two weeks. The leather conditioner I use is French made, very very good. The best I used. Saphire man’s renovator jar 1925.
Great, great video style. I’ve said it from the beginning and THIS is why I still watch! Great picture quality and a mix of excellent information and humor WITHOUT a lot of repeated blabbity blah blah blah blah! 💖 💕💖
_Gets to the "worst" side_
Shea: Givenchy Antigona
Me: * *loud gasp* *
I hate looking back at my old videos. Just can’t go there lol. I’m on the hunt for a buttery soft bag. Any Tory bags you think are super soft?
Changing the strap on my favorite MM is one of the best things I’ve ever done; so, thank you so much for suggesting that many videos ago! Also, I absolutely cannot wait for your closet tour! It’s going to be amazing!
These video was both informative and funny! I just discovered your channel and I love it.
Thank you, listening to your advice more than others on TH-cam, you have a good presenter professional vibe about you 🌹🌹🌹
OMG I was think the same thing❤️ that your videos has changed so much. Your old videos are great but the new ones are amazing 😉 I think you definitely needed a new space, you look happier and so relax 😍😍😍 I love this video. Thank you so much for the feedback.
I think there was a 2-3 year period where the Pochette Métis being manufactured were flawed.....ie. glazing problems. As far as I know they are still making them and in the last few years the bags haven’t had any issues.
So agree, that while Coach doesn’t have the prestige of luxury brands (I do enjoy a luxury bag, still can’t explain it, but everyone here gets it) the quality (leather, hardware, and craftsmanship) is really really good. I bought a brown Coach Drs Bag for my first briefcase 20 plus years ago and it is still classic and beautiful. A couple other pieces have been bought over the years and I’ve not seen a decline at all. Unlike so many other brands with much higher price points that let their name and “desire” factor drive the price up as the quality goes down.
I love watching your vids.... interesting and not long winded... love u Shea👍👍👍👍👍
I love to look at all your pretty bags! The "worst" Chanel mini, though, is my favorite. I LOVE the way that bag looks, especially in red lambskin. I love it so much that, since I can't afford one, I bought a $25 look-alike from amazon. Great video, Shea. And don't feel bad about your old ones. It has been fun to watch you grow!
shea...i got the same givenchy ...same size...same colour...and YES! i so agree on the gritting teeth small mouthed opening that makes things going in and out of the bag such a lot of work n fuss!!!
I died when she started pelvic thrusting with tht givenchy bag 😂😂😂
I think the purple Gucci bag looks best on you. I know you love the Balenci....but it doesn’t flatter your figure and look as much. However, it is a more practical purse that is versatile. Love your vids!!
I love how you stay true to yourself. Rock that Balenciaga if you love it!
Hi Shea! I’m sure you do this... but I keep my favorite mm bags stuffed with air paper and they’ve kept a nice shape so far. I don’t use mine too often. 😊
I don't think I ever buy a designer bag, because I think it's not worth it, but here I am watching your video, because I love your videos! Funny and lovely as always.
Hi Shea you can have the gold plate of the favorite exchanged. It costs around 40$ only. Your bag will look like new 😘
Couldn’t agree more I have a lot of these and the review of the mini Antigona is EXACTLY RIGHT!!! I’m not sure if mine is one smaller though... mine is the mini - I think hers is too even though she just called it antigona
I was just browsing your first videos...
you sure have come along way.
I think you are beautiful and love your videos...
I love your funny personality!!
I purchased the same coach bag in a pink color after you purchased/recommended it.
I always get so many compliments and the quality is amazing
I like your old videos 🙌🏼I’ve been following for a long time (almost from the beginning) your amazing 😘
Thank you so much!!! And that's so awesome...the coach bag really is great!!
I love that velvet purple bag. Wow. 😍
I sold the mini Chanel in the lamb skin after one and a half years. I loved it sooo sooo much but wasn’t using it enough because I was afraid to and it’s way too expensive to leave it in my closet. I got a little over retail for it and invested in a caviar jumbo. Same like yours. Best choice ever. I do want a mini some day but it will be a pop of color in caviar.
The LV bag was my favorite! I want it for casual outfits🤤
I really love the Balenciaga bag
😍🤩
You should do the same video with your favorite tote bags
LOL! I never thought watching my favorite type of YT videos (Handbag Reviews) can be so hilarious! Thanks so much for a wonderful review video and making it so entertaining!
Can’t wait to see the new closet. I have been awaiting since the last closet video
Could you do a contemporary designer bag collection with brands such as coach, Kate spade, ted baker etc
Hi! Your LV V Tote MM wasn't on this list. Do you still own it? Do you still like it? I'm thinking about getting that bag and I saw your unboxing. Would you be willing to do an update on it? ♥️♥️
I love the 3rd bag you featured. For me, that's no. 1 😊😍
I also have the Givenchy Antigona in the Burgundy color it is definitely one of my favorites 😍😍😍😍
Besides your handbags,your hair looks great
I take care of my bags, but I prefer lambskin, and if it marks up, it marks up.To me, the marks show I was not afraid to live fully, that I did not pass up a chance to dance in the rain just to preserve a handbag. And I agree about Coach; the quality is excellent. The chain on my Parker is like jewelry. You have a beautiful collection, time to give us an update?
Shea , my prediction,you’ll be on tv hosting a life style show or something if you want too, one day soon. You’re a great combination of beauty, personality and humbleness. You are genuine and humans have a strong nose for insincerity.
This video was informative and funny all at once I love it!! 😂🙌🏼👜
Shea...How did you know I needed this video????!!!! Btw I watched the entire ad babe😘
I love this video! Your personality & honesty is great 😍
Funny how all the influencers love the exact same crossbody bags. It’s almost like they’re not showing you their favorite tried and true bags, but instead they’re showing the bags that were sent to them to promote.
I love my Pochette Métis. I have it in the reverse. I’m thinking of getting it in the Empreinte Leather Black.
I have the same coach bag but in pink. I really love it. Coach has great leather.
J J I have the Empreinte Noir and it’s amazing. I carry it constantly!
Wepa! Bella almost 700,000 OMG your channel is going on roller coaster speed up up up!! ♥️Omg how was I unsubscribed??? 😱 how that happened!!
Great video and great collection, Shea! I kept looking out for your Speedy B 30 DE on the list! I swear my heart was sinking the lower and lower you got on the list haha because I have a Speedy B 25 DE and am obsessed. Keep up the awesome content!
Shea! Thanks so much for this video! Though your designer bags are beautiful, I've wondered many times how you manage to fit enough in them to actually go somewhere. Now I know ... you struggle with that and some don't quite make the grade! Thank you for sharing your top10 - best & worst about each! I DO love that purple velvet ... regardless! I require bags that will hold my wallet, phone, & large Jimmy Choo Rx Sunglasses case as they're too expensive to just stick in a bag unprotected! I ALWAYS wear them outside! And I wear progressives indoors! Cannot wear contacts for medical reasons. So by the time I get necessities in my purse, it takes a larger bag. Even when I leave "the kitchen sink" at home! So thanks! I sooooooo enjoy your videos! You're so genuine! You often leave me laughing ... or at least smiling. I so need that! Still looking forward to your finished closet tour! Lucky you❣ 💞💞❤
Feels like old times with this bag review 😍👌🏻👌🏻
I have a mini Antigona and when people ask for my thoughts on it I always tell them that I love it, but the only thing that can be a bit cumbersome is the opening. I tell them that the zipper tends to scratch your hand as you go in and out of it. Chanel caviar is absolutely gorgeous and my favorite. I also love aged calfskin as it is softer and the wrinkles add to the character of the bag. I only own a few small leather goods in lambskin and I think that’s as far as my lambskin collection will go. I would be too concerned about caring for a lambskin bag.
Your hair looks AMAZING in this video! Do you have some sort of serum in?
Extensions maybe? Looks great!
I am so relieved to not be desiring these designer bags. They are beautiful but I don't think I could love them enough to justify the prices.
Hey love, loving the videos.
Please do a contemporary handbag collection video and views on good contemporary brands.
Thank you in advance 😘
Finally someone who doesn't tout a Chanel mini as a the ultimate crossbody bag. Although it's cute, it's freakin* small! I'm interested in YSL College you show here. Maybe I'll check it out. I'm looking for medium-sized quilted leather bag that's not Chanel. My only quip is that I'm afraid that the logo will be too big. 🤔 But it looks like the right size on you. And I like that yours is not black.
Been an Audible member for over ten years....used them before Amazon bought them...it is genius!!
With you. At the time, I bought in the hype of the Pochette Métis and put my name in a waiting list, then saw the light. I have never seen any one in the wild looking good in a PM (aside a cute Japanese girl who wore it as a clutch). Specially when worn crossbody. Most unflattering bag ever!
I loved this! I am not surprised about your thoughts on most of these. Crossbody/mini bags are some of my favorites so maybe I will rank mine (rather than my full collection) in the future. Thanks for sharing, as always!
I loved this! It helps so much realize the pros and cons of each before spending the money (so much money) on anything!
Off Topic: Your confidence and well articulated videos helped me pass my speech class...WITH AN A-!!!!!!😩
This was really enjoyable and very informative. I would like to say that I totally agree with you about the Pochette Metis in canvas being casual only. The ones in empriente leather however are not, I have two and they are so much more versatile, they work with everything from casual, through smart casual, daytime dressy to non formal evenings. I definitely put that one as my number 1 cross body bag. My worst was the Rebecca Minkoff bree circle bag. I just couldn't get that one to work for me. I think it's the top handles that I dislike most. They are too small to put my arm through and when they are put down and it's worn cross body they leave indentations in the sides of the bag. I have been trying to sell it for ages but I can't give it away the resale prospects are so bad. It's definitely my first and last Minkoff bag.
Please do a what’s in my bag for the YSL! I am obsessed with the gray color and need more information! Love your videos !
I watched only two videos of urs, AND I LOVE U SHEA💞 ur best 5 bags are my fav bags too and I love BALENCIAGA ville bag too! Ps, givenchy antigona small size will be better for you! I love u Shea😉😉
You’re so funny! And you look beautiful! The hair is perfection
💡 TIP : to avoid scratches, use the tab above the buckle on the PM bag when closing to guide towards the lock. You’ll find it’s easier to close this way.
Thank you for this video. I bought my first luxury bags 💼 because of your recommendation. Of LV metis 😍💕.
That coach bag is so cute!
Love! I fell in LOVE with the velvet Gucci because of YOU! What size is yours? I always thought medium, but it looks like the small in this video? Great info in this video!❤️
I love your videos, and this was great. I personally like your last bag the very best as far as how it looked when you modeled it and I hope you still use it. I have that bag in caviar and lambskin and I admit once I bought the caviar version, I almost never wear the lambskin so I actually agree with your point. I still bought a white lambskin M/L for Easter lol. ANYWAY I'm mainly commenting that you are so right about Coach. I bought my daughter a Coach bag and a Coach wallet and OMG they are great quality. I myself still sometimes carry my Coach Willis bag my mom gifted me in the 90s. It's wonderful. So yeah, the "yuck, Coach" snobs kind of bother me, but I have a lot of high end bags so I guess I'm kind of a snob myself LOL. I just like what I like, and I love that about you, too. I knew I'd see some not-great comments about your number one bag but I love that YOU love it and that's all that matters!
I am totally shocked your LV Pouchette Metis wasn't first 😯😲 BTW I used the Apple Guard on my LV MM Graceful based on your recommendation and it's been great, accidentally got caught in some snow with it and not a mark on the leather!
Givenchy Antigona is beautiful. It doesn’t look like it’s sticking out. It’s just a classic.
Great list! You are so sweet to put the list of items every time. Glad to see you added an Ad in the middle. My Ad was Louis Vuitton so I watched the whole thing...so pretty. 🤗🤩
Thanks Erica!!! Oh my goodness, the LV ad was perfect then haha!!!
