I definitely think that these classic contemporary bags and brands are where it's at. The price point is just so realistic compared to the luxury brands. I am a young(er) working professional in Chicago and yes, I can treat myself to a Chanel but I worry about what happens when I want to retire thirty years down the road? Is the 6K-10k price tag worth it when that money can be banked, invested, etc. so you can live comfortably in the future? I understand that some of these luxury brands (some) hold their value; however, fashion - one day you are in and the next day you are out - so what everyone wants in 2033 isn't guaranteed to be what everyone covets now. I also get that you can have a dream bag or luxury product and work and save and cost per wear in might even make sense. I use my Chanel backpack everyday - cost per wear it's probably a great investment; however, I think things have just gotten out of control price wise and buying bags like those in the video today makes the most sense.
My DeMellier bag came today…beautifully boxed…inside was a lovely shopping bag with a linen ribbon. The dust bag was thick and soft and my London bag in off-white croc is amazing.
Hey there, Steph! Happy early Birthday. That dress is gorgeous and is so you. I’m loving the Demelier black handbag and it is just as beautiful as the Celine bag and also the Hermes Constance. It is totally in my budget, too, lol. It’s very classy. I really enjoyed this unboxing especially because it was like watching a little sister opening her presents on Christmas morning. Thank you so much for sharing.
aww haha glad it feels like that, we're handbag sisters for sure on this channel! Glad you liked it all, I can't wait to put on the dress and embrace my inner Kate Middleton with the lilac bag.
OMG yes, Aspinal of London! I’ve been hoping to see if you review this brand, especially this bag. I recently bought my first, a midi London tote and i was blown away just by the packaging. Once i opened it, the leather and craftsmanship are gorgeous. I get so many compliments! I’ve had my eye on a mayfair and now i must get one!
Hehe I know finally! Will do a much more in-depth review soon once I’ve used it a lot more. You’re right the quality seems incredible. I have no doubts this definitely won’t be my last Aspinal!
No duties on Farfetched Oh my gosh, what a revelation. I was always limiting my research to Europe as to avoid taxes and duties. A whole new horizon has just opened... Thank you so much ❤
Wow, loving all these items, the dress is mag on you! It is so totally you, and you are rocking it. I love those Aspinal bags! And the Demillier bag, thud! The price is so right, I must have a look and see if they got a bigger size bag. These couture designers have their work cut out for them now. Yes? Must take a look, thank you again! Stay well, and enjoy the springtime.....
Steph check out the Coach Sammy Top Handle bag from Coach. It’s similar to the Aspinal bag but it’s completely full grain leather for $550! I have it in 2 colors.Also the Coach bandit bag is also similar to to the Demellier and it’s at the same price point for $550 for full grain leather. The department stores always have it included in their specials
Steph, you look beautiful in your new dress and Aspinal bag! Happy early Birthday!! I purchased an Aspinal bag & trunk and found them to be very nice quality. But I’m so loving the bag you purchased and the color. Also love the Demelier bag I just purchased a smaller light blue one for spring. I’m trying out other brands since all the latest increases in other luxury brands have become so crazy. I’m glad you have added these to your collection!! 😊❤️
LOVE that Aspinal bag!!! I’ve been loving that silhouette/style of bag a lot lately, but some of the price points are just out of my reach. But seeing your new bag has me excited!! I’ve never heard of that brand until now, but I’m already obsessed! Thank you for sharing your birthday haul with us! ❤
Aspinal of London are very very beautiful bags, with amazing quality. I love their chain, which reminds me of Chanel bags. Zimmermann dress is just gorgeous. You will enjoy this dress not only in your birthday party.
The trousers look fab on you and the dress is gorj, the colour really suits you ! Aspinal bags are amazing, I adore my Aspinal pieces, the quality is exceptional and I have really put my bags to the test !! 😍😍
❤❤❤steph the Trousers are so Beautiful on you and your birthday Dress is stunningly Beautiful .The dress reminds me of the dress beyonce had on in her Videos where she is sw8nging the bat about but the dress is so Beautiful .So happy you loved your new things .Also am a big Aspinal of London fan l have a few of there bags the staff are so lovely on the phone when l talk to them .Beautiful colours ❤❤❤
Happy 33, Steph! Your new dress is just lovely and suits you perfectly. I have recently discovered Demellier. Have not made a purchase yet, but the brand is on my radar.
Happy 33! In your opinion, now that you have both a Demellier and an Aspinal of London, if you could only choose one.. which brand do you prefer? Thank you for your incredible videos!
Have been eyeing an aspinal Mayfair midi and the hat box! Just haven’t found the right colour but that lavender ❤️ also am so glad you love the Vancouver so much to have added a second!
Nice video. I love the Céline so much but it’s so hard for me to pay almost 4,000 in the us for it. I love the dupe and it comes in so many fun colors!!!
Congrats on your new pieces. The Zimmerman dress looks lovely on you. I have several Aspinal of London bags. They’re great quality. And the strap is adjustable on the large Mayfair, fyi.
Aspinal bags are high quality including their SLGs. I got the Ella and Lottie bags recently and they were over 60% off. For the quality, they can't be beat and also free shipping to the US and no taxes.
I guessed Zimmerman as soon as you opened the box! What a gorgeous dress and happy early bday! I also had a Covid 30th 😅 I don’t have any Aspinal bags but my mom loves the few she has!
Hi Steph. Happy early Birthday. I’m so glad you shared these two bags as they are both on my wishlist. Now that they are Steph Appt with a Farfetch code, they might be a reality 🤗
I use the ivory most, it goes best with summer dresses, whereas the green is more of a winter colour and for some reason I prefer bigger bags with my winter wardrobe, so I don’t reach for it. I’ve a couple of lavender summer dresses so I am tempted by the lavender but then again I have the LV marshmallow hobo in sunset pastel which I’m not reaching for either 😂
I have two of the smaller ‘mini Mayfair’ bags; it fits my phone and essentials and the price means I’m not overly precious about it. It’s also my go-to if I don’t know where I’m headed because it’ll be fine if I end up having to put it on the floor, or on the back of a chair where it might be knocked. The midi size is a great size for a day bag, mini definitely a bit too small. The dress was beautiful on you.
This has caught me by surprise, but I really like that Demellier bag! Also, I wish my video that aired today would have 1000 views after 1 hour, not 2 as it currently has 😂😂 Love your stuff Steph ❤️
The Aspinal of London is beautiful but I’m 5’2 so it must be at my knee length and the interior in canvas doesn’t scream luxurious to me and honestly isn’t a cheap cheap bag to have such characteristics. The other thing that annoys me a little is that crocodile embossed leather that feels a little plasticish. I will await to see if they come out with other types of leather and correct the strap length or add the possibility of adapting it.
Steph 😍😍❤️. I live my luxury life through you. 🕯🙏🏼🕯🙏🏼🕯🙏🏼 For me to be able to buy all the luxury pieces I love, just like you. Thank You for the 🔥👌🏽 content...love from Johannesburg, South Africa ❤️🇿🇦
Absolutely LOVE the look of the Demellier Vancouver bag. Sadly, I don’t think the quality is there. I ordered the bag in September of 2022. It came delivered with a large scratch at the back. I returned it and replaced it for a new one. At the time it was back ordered so I only got the new one in January 2023. This one came completely dented and out of shape. I returned that one and don’t foresee myself attempting another purchase. It just proved to me that the leather is not hard wearing. Too bad though because it’s a beautiful bag at a great price point.
Aww no I’m sorry to hear this! Both of mine arrived in great condition no scratches or bumps and function perfectly. I will be putting mine to the test to see how hard wearing they are 🙌
Thank you for your quick response. I watch your vlogs all the time. I bought 2 pairs of the most comfortable loafers and my daughter love it she bought 1 herself, too! I also bought my first bag-the T timeless shoulder mini in black and I was beyond happy! The leather is shiny calfskin ( just like the Celine one). It's classy and very well priced. I think their brand is underrated. I am planning to purchase another one -the newly released messenger mini.
Wow, what do you think to these new pieces?! I'm OVER THE MOON! Use my code HBH10FF for 10% off for new customers on Farfetch: bit.ly/3ZcNL4W

Omg that aspinal lavender mayfair is absolutely stunning
That Demellier is such a dupe for the Hermes Constance! That dress is ready for spring, beautiful!
Very true, constance, triomphe, box bag - they're fabulous bags, low-key but really do catch peoples attention
My DeMellier bag came today…beautifully boxed…inside was a lovely shopping bag with a linen ribbon. The dust bag was thick and soft and my London bag in off-white croc is amazing.

@@kalikutes I was thinking exactly this too! It's on the agenda :)
@@kalikutes second this!
The Aspinal of London Lottie bags are great quality, and look so beautiful.
Steph!! I’m so excited you’ve stepped into the Aspinal of London world! I’ve been obsessed this year. The quality is amazing. Enjoy!!
hehe I know how did I go so long without one! The quality is fantastic
No duties on Farfetched

I loved it, I'm going to recommend it to my friends. I'll do it, I hope they like it. Very good👍

everything is so wonderful
So glad you like!
Love all the items Steph. The bags look lovely quality - I am very tempted x
Hi i would like to know if that mayfair bag comes with full leather strap instead of chanel look like strap?
no it only comes with the chain strap
Will you please do a more in depth of the Vancouver bag? Thanks!
Yes it’s coming in about a week 🙌
The dress is beautiful on you! Happy Birthday in advance🤩
Thank you! Can’t wait to get my coat per wear out the dress 😄
The dress looks very pretty on you and I love the first bag bag 🩷
Thank you! So glad you like
I love those pants! They look amazing!
Highly recommend! Comfy and flattering 😄 that’s what I live for these days
I guessed Zimmerman as soon as you opened the box! What a gorgeous dress and happy early bday! I also had a Covid 30th 😅 I don’t have any Aspinal bags but my mom loves the few she has!
Love the haul and you would look good in anything!
Aww thanks Ally
Hi Steph. Happy early Birthday.
I’m so glad you shared these two bags as they are both on my wishlist. Now that they are Steph Appt with a Farfetch code, they might be a reality 🤗
Hehe you have a good wishlist by the sounds of it and a discount always helps 😄🙌 keep me updated
Demellier bag looks like a Constance dupe
Yes it’s a similar style / shape of bag to the Constance too
I’ve got the dark green and ivory in high shine croc. They are amazing bags. Such quality, very hard wearing and so versatile.
They are! Which do you use more your green or ivory? It was super hard to decide on colour but the lavender is stunning I’m happy I went for a bright
I use the ivory most, it goes best with summer dresses, whereas the green is more of a winter colour and for some reason I prefer bigger bags with my winter wardrobe, so I don’t reach for it.
I’ve a couple of lavender summer dresses so I am tempted by the lavender but then again I have the LV marshmallow hobo in sunset pastel which I’m not reaching for either 😂
No link for the loafers??
I loved the products
I have two of the smaller ‘mini Mayfair’ bags; it fits my phone and essentials and the price means I’m not overly precious about it. It’s also my go-to if I don’t know where I’m headed because it’ll be fine if I end up having to put it on the floor, or on the back of a chair where it might be knocked. The midi size is a great size for a day bag, mini definitely a bit too small. The dress was beautiful on you.
I have been buying lots of Zimmermann lately - looks stunning with a great handbag!
Completely agree! Not usually my style but I they do some fabulous pieces
I just ordered the Vancouver bag a few days ago on FF bc it was 30% off. Can’t wait to get it!
Yay! What colour did you get?
@@Handbagholic i got the taupe nano Montreal and the taupe Vancouver. Yay!
Great haul Steph. Beautiful purchases🫶🏾
Thanks glad you like Ronnie
Muy bonito las carteras de damas.
This has caught me by surprise, but I really like that Demellier bag! Also, I wish my video that aired today would have 1000 views after 1 hour, not 2 as it currently has 😂😂 Love your stuff Steph ❤️
I will come over and be a viewer! Can’t wait to see you me latest release ❤️
those pants look great on you happy birthday
Thank you! My birthday is in May I am planning ahead haha
@@Handbagholic very happy UNbrithday it my birthday everyday
Gorgeous Lavender Bag 🛍️ 💖✨
I am a huge fan of Zimmermann. Once you start buying Zimmermann there is no turned back!
So true! 😄

Have you tried Tod's brand?
I haven’t but it is on my radar the tote bags are nice. Do you have one?
Thank you for your quick response. I watch your vlogs all the time.
