WHY YOU ONLY NEED *ONE* DESIGNER HANDBAG (And How to Buy The Right One) | Chanel Trendy CC | AD

- Why You Only Need ONE Designer handbag! Social media and marketing can make you want more and more, and as someone who does youtube and also watches it, I feel the pressure haha! Realistically though, you only need one luxury handbag, and if you pick the right brand, style and colour - you should be able to get it to work with most outfits. My recommended bag is the Chanel Trendy CC (It’s a good size and yet fits a lot, it’s elegant (good for day, events and evening), it’s classic and doesn’t look to be getting phased-out or dated any time soon, Chanel is always a good idea lol, and it can be worn crossbody/shoulder and by the top handle.
Owning only one handbag is great (financially), but I think it can help you to be more disaplined with the clothes you buy (as opposed to purchasing lots of things in styles you probably won’t wear much, if you’re matching everything to one bag, you’ll end up with more of a ‘capsule collection’ and a colour palette where things can be interchanged.

It took me too long to really get this. I have spent loads of money buying inexpensive luxury bags that were not the Chanel that I really wanted. As a result, I never felt actually HAPPY with what I had. I finally bit the bullet and bought a Chanel. I chose black for the reasons you mentioned and I still have other bags, but none upgrade an outfit the way the Chanel does. And, because I have what I want, the influencers don't impact me now. This is great advice and a great video.
All of those other bags are a waste of money. I've been there too, and now I only buy Chanel; same for the shoes.
@@truthserum5855 Learned this the hard way. ❤️😂❤️
I wish I could afford one. It's always been my dream bag. But Ive never even spent more than $150 on a bag! And that's Australian currency (in us I think that's like $80)
So Chanel is wayyyyy out of my price range. I think even wallet on a chain is like $4000
@@em84c Never say never. ❤️

Hi, Sophie!
I am from a Balkan country, an educator, hardly ever able to afford things that cost like my one year of work. But you are a wonderful inspiration to all women who want to be educated, tastefully dressed and nurtured. Your channel is much more than a fashion channel. your tips are extraordinary and honest.
I wish you all the best, just keep going! 🌹
svejedno 111 : wow that sounds insane that some designer bags is your year’s salary⁉️
svejedno 111 ... I’m assuming that from your screen name you are from Bosnia Herzegovina? But maybe I’m wrong. My husband and I visited 7 of the Balkan countries last year and LOVED it there!!! So so beautiful!
@@CarolCreates Yes, I would believe that. Did you know in some Balkan countries the wages are so low, it's cheaper to manufacture some things there rather than in China? Chinese factory owners are setting up and paying Serbians in Serbia to produce items cheaper than what they could in China.
Lon : so the cost of living is probably lower in the Balkans?
Example, I live in London UK so my cost of living will be much higher. Obviously there must be millionaires, but compared to the general public in Balkans?
I'm from Montenegro, but it's the same in all Balkan countries. the same "standard", or very similar. I'm a professor, my annual salary is 6000e, more or less, but most people here are on credit. of course, my country is very beautiful, but daily life is difficult because wages are low and costs are high (for our standard). Regards to all
This made me rethink my obsession with buying the next bag. I realize now that I am trying to keep up with the Joneses. I see these bags on social media, being told that I MUST have them. I will stop for now, and maximize the cost per wear of my bags and other items.
One trick is to watch and re watch videos of unboxings, what’s in my bag, etc... of the bags you already own and you’ll fall in love with them over and over again and you won’t have the urge to buy a new one ;-) works for me
Better minimise the cost per wear!😊
That’s what I do. I even go on Instagram and hastag them which helps me love what I have more. Been doing that.
“Why you only need ONE designer bag” She says with like 50,000 😂😂
On a serious note, I definitely do agree and I love how you give this type of advice
I think Sophie has very few handbags compared to other TH-camrs of similiar size. I think Sophie only has 10 or 15 handbags. Most youtubers with channels as big as hers have 25 to 50(or more) handbags.
patr70 I was only joking, don’t worry.
That part was my jealousy talking 🤣
@@Shanice_ OK. Good to know🙂
Exactly! Lol
I agree as well, but that doesn’t mean I will listen 😹
I think we need 3 bags at least black, nude and red " my opinion "
AGREE, 3 is a good number!
I agree with 3 for different sizes
a clutch/evening bag
an everyday casual/work
and something either in-between, like a nicer or bigger day bag
I have a bag that looks too professional for night and too big for casual
but I would choose black, nude, grey, or white
@@ErikaBardere i would choose black and nude and one statement with a detail for those days you feel like fashunnnn. Otherwise all 3 neutral is little bit boring in my opinion😘
@@Grace_372 Any neutral color can look like a statement if you pick well
Certain "statement" pieces may be too obvious when reworn or don't pair well, that's why classics and neutrals are a thing. You can also wear scarves on your bags or keychains. There's options
@@ErikaBardere good point..was thinking of statement like the Miumiu..i don't.. know what they are called..the ones with the detailed buckle..
I appreciate all your videos Sophie. I don’t have any designer bags yet. But this give me a great perspective
Same like me😊🥰
Yes! Thank you for saying what no other social media influencer is saying-we don’t need all the “stuff”! I’ve been trying to eliminate fast fashion and cut down on purchasing things in general this year. I’ve found I’m just as happy with less items. Great video!!
Totally agree, Shanice. Sophie is nothing if not self-aware. Refreshing realism and humor!
Regardless of your content some people are never happy. If you do hauls they dislike it 🙄. If you do sustainable advice; they don’t like it 🤣. But some of us love your videos either way. 🥰
I’ve noticed that too. She gets comments on hauls saying ‘do more non-shopping videos’. When she does non shopping, she gets the other lot complaining 🙄😒
I’m quite new to this channel. Subscribed. Hope I’ll enjoy the videos!
I don't think the dislikes are from the same people in the two cases...I hope.😳
Great video Sophie. I so appreciate how grounded you are. Thank you so much for your candour about really needing only one handbag or possibly a few, as well as your your reality check about consumerism on TH-cam. We all as viewers are under its great influence. Lots of love, 💕
I definitely agree with you! At the moment I am trying to stop buying more and more bags. I have set a no more than 10 bag rule, in order to avoid keep on buying bags every year. I also filmed a video about this topic! Love the bags you picked 😍😍😍😍😍
There is no advice to give. People buy because they want and like the different bags. I only have two bags because I was never into bags. But now I’m starting to see bags as an accessory to compliment my outfit and would like to start a collection of different bags in different colors.
I just love everything about you, Sophie! You're the best role model because you work hard and you don't irresponsibly encourage your subscribers to keep buying and spending beyond their means. I love makeup, and I really worry about young males and females who think it's normal to spend hundreds of dollars on makeup a month. Some people on social media are always talking about how poor they are, but I think their is a big difference between really suffering from economic hardship and those who spend all their money on designer clothes bags, leaving them next to nothing to pay their bills with. I think you've really helped me to understand that people don't deserve designer things, they have to earn them. Thank you! xx
I love lillysilk so much! I bought 2 blouses from them last year when you made one of your first videos about them and recently bought a dress and sweater from them. The blouses still look amazing and they gave me a free (normally $50) scarf with this last purchase. The stitching is always great and the colors are beautiful! I always get compliments when I wear their stuff. (I promise I'm not a shill for them lol, they just really are that good).
Jennifer, I like Lillysilk , too! I have about 4 tops from them and I just got one just like on Sophie, that vneck she is wearing in the beginning. Looks great, feels great, neutral color, but...the seat belt in my car ruined the shirt..it left a huge obvious mark right in the middle, front of the shirt. Im so upset
I really want their shirt in white that has the black tie thing at the neck
Absolutely agree with what you said. We want what we see and it doesn't help that online shopping makes it so convenient now, you can shop any time you want. Discount coupons, sale, free returns etc. It's hard to decide rightly and not get sucked in. Always enjoyed your vids👍🤩😍
You inspired me to invest in my first Chanel bag! I planned and saved, and was fortunate that the Rue Cambon location had 1 in stock when I visited last week. It is exactly like your Chanel top handle bag, but in black. I can’t wait to bring it home and use it. I feel classic and elegant wearing it, and I think it elevates any outfit. Thank you, Sophie!
Sophie!!!!
1. Omg you look absolute stunning! I love how you do your makeup and your skin is just glowing!
2. You are so right about the Chanel jumbo, it is quite big for warmer months. As I got older, I have less desire to wear a larger handbag
3. You are so right about limited the number of bags to buy.
Love this video!
loving you always! can't help it to fall in love with your videos every moment. thank you for inspiring me to save more and slowly reach my goals! mwa!
Love this! Btw, I highly recommend reading two books by Dana Thomas: "Deluxe: How Luxury Lost it's Luster" (it's about the evolution of luxury artisans into multi-national conglomerate brands) and 2) "Fashionopolis" ( the hopeful look forward to a return to slow fashion and sustainability.) She doesn't condemn the industry, but provides a glimpse into the reality behind the marketing. I hope you get a chance to check either out. She has a third book "Gods &Kings" that focuses on the role of the creatives in the industry, specifically using Galiano and Alexander McQueen as examples. Cheers!
Came across your comment and your mention about the books caught my eyes. I’m going to by them both. Thanks for sharing 🙏😊.
That Chanel Trendy is gorgeous! I've never really caught on to Chanel, but Wow, that's a pretty bag, especially in that size and color!
YES! This is the video I’ve been waiting for. The one bag that (almost) does it all. That beige bag is by far the most beautiful bag Chanel makes. I only want one bag - that is the one ❤️ thank you for an excellent video ❤️
I have two Dior bags (from the mid 2000s, I think they're called 'my dior pocket bag') that I use practically every day, one in tan for autumn and winter and one in white for spring and summer :)
nice!
I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! I love the message, and I loved your outfits. Totally turned me onto the Trendy as well.
This is so refreshing Sophie thank you ! I am a fan of minimalism and being mindful about over consumerism
great advice. it’s so hard to self control sometimes when i’ve got a handbag obsession! i will need to come back to this video every time i get the urge to buy another bag!!
Love this video!❤️❤️❤️ Great suggestions for shopping in your own closet as well. Thanks Sophie!
I’ve often thought that no matter how many bags you have at home, you can only wear 1 at a time. When you are out, you take just 1. So I have 1 louis and 1 big diamond and that’s it. Enjoy the consolidation phase! It makes every day more joyful because you have a really substantial thing on...
esnutaliah but I don’t want the same person to see that I keep wearing the same bag
I totally loved this message Sophie. Quite refreshing to be honest. Keep it coming😆
I love the color of your top. You look absolutely lovely in this shade!!
Thanks so much for speaking up about this! We should all be more mindful of what we buy
I absolutely looooove the concept of this video. I've always loved your channel, but this has to be my favorite video. That color bag won't work for my skin tone, but as a person who has been transitioning towards minimalism...this really inspires me. Not only that, we travel from country to country every few years and it's always nerve-racking when you're on home leave and waiting to get to your next post, opening your boxes, and making sure all your belongings made it or taking some of your luxury items with you and lugging them around for 4-8 weeks while you're on vacation/home leave. It's for the birds. And we're a family of 5! I need my life to be simple, but still funky, fun, chic, and a little street.
I agree and I specially appreciate how you have found some of your treasures on eBay it takes a bit of effort and a lot of patience. I’m also in the market for a jumbo and I agree with you they really do look best with coats I am also 5’10 150 lb so the chain and the size probably won’t overwhelm me like someone who is petite
Thank you for this video!! Great idea, superb content. You are the only luxury channel I follow because of how down to earth you are 💜 Much Love from America
Sophie I always love your videos! you’re always so honest and on point and this is a perfect example I too got caught up in buying all the newest Limited addition make up kits and handbags and shoes and I have now learned my lesson good job and I hope you get to spread the word!!!
Totally agree Sophie, that beige/tan handbag made all the outfits pop.
I love love LOVE your black off the shoulder top!
You’re very sensible and elegant. Believe is the right conception of “fashion”. Coco Chanel had the same kind of thinking. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I totally agree! I have the same trendy in black and love it!!
You always give great advice, I appreciate your effort!!
In the last segment, you resemble a D&G model (the glossy ads you see in Vogue and Harpers Bazaar); I think it is the black off the shoulder top that does it; beautiful!
Hi Sophie! I recently discovered your channel and I'm in love 😍.
Your style is amazing and so are your recommendations 👌.
Love from Canada
Smart advice, and really good styling. All in all, great video! Xx
Good evening from Accra - Ghana 🇬🇭 I love your channel!!!!
Wolf Couture I’m a Ghanaian too! But born in London
Hi Sophie, love your tulip hem pants! You're spot on with your advice. 👍♥️
Great advice Sophie! And your outfits in this video are awesome! So chic and elegant! Furthermore the beige color is perfect on you!
I love the Lilysilk trousers,I am definitely going to buy a pair.Thankyou for the inspo as alway Sophie.
Guurl that's why youre a queen! Youre good in life can afford a lot with your hard work but you think about us and try to make us do the smartest choices. Kiss from Portugal and keep doing this... Thank you for not being full of sponsorship ads that makes us buy every little thing and stops being genuine 😘😘😘
Hello Sophie, this is a fantastic video. With Instagram influencers, everything has become about consumerism in a completely over the top mindless way.
I personally believe that if someone has the money, they can buy as many bags as they want. The problem is that people who are not even close to that income bracket are influenced to think they should also buy every new style of bag out there.
What you have illustrated so clearly is that a few quality timeless items are more than enough to look stylish and elegant.
Add to that clean shiny hair, good skin care, well-kept nails and good manners and you have an elegant and classy lady.
You look fantastic in the silk pants and black top! ❤
Love your advice!😘 Can you do a video as to what cashmere pieces one should have in their wardrobe?
yay! finanlly I catch a video when it's put out! I still didn't get a notification, but I had an intuition to just check for a new Sophie video! now to go make a coffee and watch!
I enjoyed your video and look forward to more. Your tips are thoughtful and well thought out.
Loved your video. Outstanding content!
Really like your style. Your videos never fail to inspire me.
Very smart video! Seriously we need more of this kind of videos even from the fashion TH-camrs :) please make more of those, like capsule clothes selection, maybe just in different styles and color palette. BTW, I just love your videos! when I was in London I was telling shopping assistants in Jo Malone shop that I am so inspired by you :)
Completely agree, I got the classic flap in the medium size and I wear it casual or at more formal events, it always works. I also love my LV neverfull in MM for traveling and shopping, those are two classic bags for life.
Love your advice always.
Soooo great video ❤️, please do more of this, like one bag or scarf or something else, several outfits 😍
i would love a ysl college bag ... these huge chains on that one and the boy bag give it such a cool/young/edgy feel
The desire to own that beige Chanel bag is real!
I SO agree! The Jumbo was a bag I wanted for years but it's just too big, I'm tall and curvy but it's still too large . I ❤ the M/L size or the mini. The Trendy is my fave! It's my one bag tag for sure xxx
I agree with you Sophie 100%. Less is more and over the years we accumulate so much that it becomes difficult to combine things in the end of the day, not to mention we run out of place to accomodate them. I personally do give out clothing a lot and investing on a key /capsule wardrobe and in more sustainable natural materials it is a small effort to save the environment. I am proud to see so many young people nowadays moving to that direction, avoiding mass consumerism and embracing the Greta effect in saving the planet!
On this video, I totally agree on 3 key bags: black/beige and an evening one in black to cover you for every occasion. The key is not in buying but in maintaining. Same like with good wines you want to protect your items and regularly clean them in professional places so they will last over time. Silk is definitely one of those materials but it does require care.
By the way Sophie to come back to your video those aubergine trousers look amazing on you. I checked on Lilysilk and their pictures for these trousers are horrible. It made me kind of wonder if they are the same pants!;)
Keep up the great videos and unless you have done already I would suggest a key/capsule wardrobe video will be great to do.
Love this! Ive been trying to buy less this year, and only buy quality things when i need them (instead of cheap stuff more often). Ive definetly been trying to buy more classic, work appropriate things, vs what i was buying. Have you had any colour transfer issues with the beige trendy?
Love this, Sophie!!! 💕💕💕
I love your style!
Wonderful!!! Always so informative and I still get to gawk at pretty purses, which I love to see! LOL Enjoyed this one, as I have all the rest! Always adore you and your channel! Big Hugs. Take care - Jess!
Great video and wonderful suggestions-thank you!
😊👍👍 Thank you for sharing these thoughts! It is always so deceiving to purchase more and more and more...but we all should be more aware of our consumption. I love your outfit ideas in this video!!
Had my cc flap bags for many years in black,red, and white. Did splurge and get the pearl bag this years as an evening bag. Still love my original Dior saddle bag but as a horsewoman that just makes sense.
I love the message of this video. I only have one designer bag at the moment, and honestly I just want another black, nicer, smaller--maybe a YSL crossbody that I can wear when I go out. I feel like that's all I need (maybe for now). And yes, SO much nicer to your wallet.
I love your clothes rail!!! I’d love to have one and hang a few of my absolute favourite pieces on it! Such a great idea.
I’m not sure if I like that top though 😬 (Mary Poppins vibes)
Love the video as always! 💋
The queen of class Sophie 🥰
Great video! I am into minimal luxury and I love your advice!❤️
Good advice, I've made a concious effort lately to only buy expensive bags in a style I know I will use. So top handle / shoulder strap for me! Now I've watched this I'm also going to think more about the colour. :) x
I love this video! Thanks for posting :)
I love the whole concept of this video and all the helpful information you share along every outfit! 💖
I love your makeup and hair in this video. You look so fresh and effortless!
I have to agree I only own one handbag and it is the Louis Vuitton Pallas clutch in the black. It looks beautiful dressed up or dressed down. Was so nervous on spending that kind of money but it was the best money ever spent.😁
Gosh I like ur content and videos so much I always hit the like button without even watching them till the end 🥰😂
I’m definitely not the main target of this video, but I do appreciate your wisdom and your ideas!
Yup!! Pop up colour of every outfit is a must. 💕👍
ty for talking about sustainability and consumerism!
So true! Thanks for sharing.
I hate mixing and matching silver and gold hardware (bags, jewelry, belts) . At minimum. If I had to limit my bags, I would need at least two, one in silver hardware and one in gold. My most multi purpose bag is my medium classic flap, gold hardware and caviar leather.
Sandra R the medium classic is my favorite size! 😍
I agree. I went back and forth between black lambskin with gold hardware, or the black caviar with silver hardware for my first Chanel bag. I ended up getting both 😍 because between the two, I am covered for endless occasions/outfits.
I definitely need more than one handbag and I love Sophie but I can't picture her only having one handbag
Fully fully agree with you Sandra!!!
Anna Hovakimian I told myself that when I first started buying designer handbags again and was convinced my Givenchy antigona would be my one go to bag. Then I noticed the wear and tear it was getting with daily use. I only have ten designer bags but rotating them often balances the wear and tear on each bag. I get what Sophie is saying less is more and consumerism is out of control. I contemplate much longer now whether I really want it before buying a new bag.
Fantastic message! 💕 I’m currently working on my capsule wardrobe. High street clothes, higher end footwear and one £££ backpack.
I absolutely love those old trousers of yours, that outfit works so well. Very nice 👍
Thank you so much for this video. You are so right. I love the taupe bag with black and navy. Those are the base colors that I wear the most. I love your videos.
I feel like the YSL Small LouLou is absolutely a one and done bag. Looks great running around during the day but dressy enough for evening, crossbody or shoulder
Great video Sophie!! 😊🙌💞
The Chanel Trendy CC lambskin bag in black is my “Holy Grail” bag! Perhaps one day....😊
But who could ever just pick 1? Lol nope, I literally added another bag on my want list, from watching your recent haul too:) love the Fendi bag you got;)
Xoxo
Great outfit and love the silk top, looks beautiful on you!
What a fantastic video Sophie. Soooo true. I tell my children (2 girls) that quite a bit. It's better to invest in certain items even though it's a bit pricey and get more use out of the item. It basically comes down to cost per wear.
Another great video!!
Thank you so much for sharing
SOPHIE! I absolutely love this video. So practical and still inspirational. 💜❤️💜
Lovely capsule wardrobe ideas!
you are so classy i love it , and i agree when you wear a luxury bag, you need to get the appropiate look . I Saw so many people especially in switzerland or london wearing expensive stuff without trying to look good or worse , having damaged shoes along with their Gucci or LV bag, such a shame
Totally agree, but so long as the bag is well made and leather so it lasts and ages well, it doesn't need to be designer!
When buying clothing I tend to stick to the '2 and 3' rule (2 colours and black white and grey) this way everything matches and works together.
i got the trendy cc but the new version with bigger quilt. Its beautiful but i kind of regret now because its lambskin, does anyone have any tips to protect remove scratches ...?
Wow well put together.
I wish I had seen your video earlier; I always felt this way. I had the small Trendy in black when it first debuted, though I felt it was too bulky for casual everyday. I ended up buying the Trendy classic black woc for $3100; it is very elegant and not bulky, and I don't pack for overnight every time I leave home. It actually works with everything, and if I need a shorter chain for a handle, I can knot the chain on the inside flap. One of the problems I had with the Trendy handbag when trying it on was the chain actually slipped out of the riveted opening; not something a $5600 bag should be doing, though it is my favorite Chanel style. Because I am a true winter with salt and pepper hair, I don't wear warm colors at all, so I might buy a gray classic Trendy handbag if one comes up.
You're looking good Sophie. This is a great video.
