You can wear them. It depends how. Don’t draw attention to yourself with all your lux accessories. You can dress down/casual. Thieves may think you don’t care, so it could be a fake 🤔
Here in LA I carried my Birkin every day until 3ish years ago, we started having crazy stuff happening in certain really good areas, like violent protests in B Hills. Now it is in storage, I have had my bag for 25 years. yes please, safest bags vid
Hi Sophie!!!! 13mins late today, currently watching Tv news. Years and years back I was mugged whilst carrying a Gucci bag and multiple shopping bags. It really knocked me for six but I still wear/carry my designer pieces, I bought them, I love them and I'm jolly well going to wear them!! One of my bags is featured in your list too. But I do understand I'm taking a risk. Bunny ❤❤❤ Hugs xx
Adore your bunny. Delighted with his cameo appearance. I ams starting to think about using dupes. London is getting a terrible reputation. A certain population is turning the place wretched and unsafe.
Great video! I would love see a video about the safest bags. Videos about safest/dangerous accessories would be great too because know you have some opinions about warches, etc. The only point from yhis video that really suprised me is the exotics just because there are SO many embossed leather bags out there and so few exotics. I would be suprised if theives can spot the genuine ones from a distance. I suppose they might just take a chance and target you anyways because the payoff is so big.
We were almost mugged at knifepoint in Paris this past spring. After that incident I locked my Chanel, Hermes and Goyard bags in my suitcase for the rest of the trip and went out to buy a Uniqlo faux leather crossbody. It's a great travel bag that can fit small designer bags inside when you go to fancy dinners (I just coatcheck the crossbody along with my jacket).
With the addition of the Lizzy station near Bond st but deeper in Mayfair, i feel like it has brought more people into the area that would usually be pretty empty. With ease to grab and run and disappear into the tube and you are free to go anywhere, I would think this would make Mayfair more appealing to criminals. I dont agree with the saddle bag. I think tucking under your arm would be the safest. I also believe anything cross body bags are easy. Criminals will go for anything handle held or with a strap. They can just cut the strap. With winter coming, feeling that your crossbody strap has been cut, is harder through a thicker coat.
When i came to London in March I brought my ysl large loulou and bought and wore a new Prada. If i would go back (which I dont actually care to anymore) I would probably still wear the same loulou or my book tote shopping and still be able to wear something of the hermes, chanel, or dior when I am out with friends as they would also be. What is awful in UK is not being able to protect yourself, especially as a woman. In Florida, I wear all my bags (most of the ones you mention I have) and never feel unsafe or worried. I am either 'ready' if anyone comes near me, or my Man is also big and 'ready.' So I don't have this issue.
I could imagine that Lady Dior isn't so popular because it is so open and impractical - to me, that is the kind of bag where you need the entire lifestyle to accompany it - so you need the chauffeur driver door to door type thing. Or you wear it while while with company/a companion etc.
Thanks for your awareness video. A good reminder indeed. I bought some designer bags some time back. I will not wear them when I go out alone or with company. London, Paris, Barcelona it’s everywhere the same. So sad and no government is tackling the crime. Diabolical !
I saw a video of a woman showing how she wears a classic flap- She doubles up the the chain, puts the bag around her waist, takes one of the chains and pulls it up over her shoulder. This seems great but the chain needs to be quite long or the wearer to be quite slim 😂 I think non-logo and less popular designer bags are a lot safer. I wonder if a Gucci Jackie 1961, for instance, would be safe 🤔
I think we are getting back to the problem of lifestyle: these bags are meant to be going with a lifestyle... these bags used to be bought by clients who were driven around by a chauffeur.
Thank you Sophie for another really useful vudeo. I bought my classic Chanel flap specifically for travelling around London and other cities as I find it so useful. So far I have had no problems but I always try to be vigilant when out and about.Please do tell us which bags are the safe options.
Is this all of london? I see loads of influencers walking around with their designer handbags and what not, just wondering if it’s a select few areas? Xx
I always look at peoples designer bags. My son and I enjoy playing the real or fake game when we see them 😂 What are you thoughts on the hermes picotin in london? Its handheld but not sure how recognisable it is? Reading the comments on here its such a shame people have all these beautiful bags and they have to leave them at home 😢
PLEASE, I would love a video on the safest bags. I never take obvious designer bags when I go abroad, I think you are just asking for trouble. Instead, I have some nice nonlogo leather and canvas bags.
I used to see many women wearing Birkins and Kellys around London, now not so much! I knew it was because of the increase of thieves around wealthy neighbourhoods. I am glad I don't like B or K, and I don't like the classic flap, but I love the reissue. It is a shame, that people work hard and save up to wear nice things, and they can't even enjoy them. I really like this type of content, but I find it confusing when you show outfits while speaking in the background. If you could do 2 parts where you show outfits in one part and do a sit down part, it would be better for me to follow 🙏❤thank you!
After I got pick pocketed on 2nd day in London I was too scared to wear my Chanel gst out. I brought it to take cute pictures with and I can carry a good amount of stuff in. But it's completely open and I figured if I didn't even feel someone go in my pocket, I was screwed with my purse. It sucks, it just sat in my hotel looking pretty lol
I use all my designer bags. I really don’t care. I never have any issues. Wear your bags with confidence. Dress casual. Don’t draw attention to yourself.
It would be interesting to find your experience on bags you feel are safer. There are so many new brands or old brands coming into attention because of price. 😄
Hi Sophie, I go between Milano and Firenze a lot. I dont feel comfortable wearing any of my luxury goods especially the center of Milano or in the metro. Yesterday I got a really inconspicuous plain brown bucket purse from Valentino that is cross body and I could wear the V facing my body (which is in leather and blends in with the color of the purse). It is just the times we are living. Especial if we are using them everyday. PS. love the little guest star🐇🐇
Sorry but isnt this commen sense witchever bag you use? I cannot afford a chanel bag but yes i still Look if my bag has a zipper aaaand an near body compartmend for my Phone. But thinking a crossbody bag is saver is just an illusion. If someone wants to steal your bag, they just cut thru it, even if they have to replace the strap, its still a win for them.
As a recent owner of a Birkin and a Chanel I feel I need to leave these at home but it's such a shame I can't enjoy them in some places.
Yep! At this point with the way society is it’s almost a waste of money to even buy luxury today. Can never freaking wear it!
You can wear them. It depends how.
Don’t draw attention to yourself with all your lux accessories. You can dress down/casual.
Thieves may think you don’t care, so it could be a fake 🤔
Same.
I like dupes and I find it silly I might be robbed for something that isn't even expensive.
Finally someone not afraid to talk about what needs to be talked about 👏👏👏

I use Coach and Kate Spade bags when I travel. I leave my luxury bags at home.
Plus Coach is really
Making some incredible bags right now
Thank you for including the rabbit.
Sophie,
Once your bunny came into the screen, I tuned you out completely.
That cutie pie steels your thunder!
This was great and i would love a video on the safest bags.
Great video. Please do one abouit the safest bags to carry. Thank you.
Adore your bunny. Delighted with his cameo appearance. I ams starting to think about using dupes. London is getting a terrible reputation. A certain population is turning the place wretched and unsafe.
Same as in Melbourne australia
I like dupes but we could still get robbed for them depending on how close they are.

Yes, please, safe bags video, too

Good morning from Melbourne Australia ❤🇦🇺

London, Paris, Barcelona it’s everywhere the same.
So sad and no government is tackling the crime.
Diabolical !
a lot of the crime is foreign gangs who hop on a plane
Nuts! What are your elected government officials doing about it?
they're usually in on it, normally a copper's cousin

I plan a trip to London with my mom next year but I definitely won't bring any of my fancy stuff with me.
The same with me. But I’m going to Rio de Janeiro in Brasil.
Including jewelry!!
I think we are getting back to the problem of lifestyle: these bags are meant to be going with a lifestyle... these bags used to be bought by clients who were driven around by a chauffeur.

❤ the way you’re dressed !
I carry mostly no logo bags these days, like Proenza Schouler PS bags. Not many people know these bags.
Yes please do a video on what bags are safe to carry. Thank you in advance.
Is this all of london? I see loads of influencers walking around with their designer handbags and what not, just wondering if it’s a select few areas? Xx
I always look at peoples designer bags. My son and I enjoy playing the real or fake game when we see them 😂

The booties look beautiful. Are they comfy to walk around?

hotel rooms get robbed very easily, apparently a highlighter pen can be used to open those card readers
Hello, Sophie!
Hmm maybe there is a market for bags that are luxury but have safety features and places where you can use the luxury items you buy safely.
england is no longer a first world country sadly and we haven't been since I was a kid in the 90s really
I only use my Hermes bag without any logo, also only crossbody style.
At this point the safest bag is a Tesco life bag 😂
Or the walmart 50 dollar birkin dupe everyone is buying😂
I don't understand. Are they being stollen on the streets ? Is it local thieves ?
immigrants hopping on planes mostly, apparently, I've seen crime data and they blame it on international gangs
Its immigration problem!
yes safest bags... so I guess the row?
I use all my designer bags. I really don’t care. I never have any issues.
Wear your bags with confidence. Dress casual. Don’t draw attention to yourself.

I saw a young lady with a Kelly in Gail's the other day wondering "whattt r you thinkinggg"😂
Why⁉️
Wear your bags with confidence.
I don’t care. I’m using my bags. I never have a problem.
Probably fake.
I sometimes carry a pound shop bag with my lux bags so people just assume its fake
