I really hope no one knocks at the door
because I am actually surrounded,
like barricaded in by bags and I might not make it.
That's a lie, I will make it.
There will be a bag avalanche though.
Hello everybody, welcome back to my channel.
Today I am gonna be talking you through my bag collection,
which has been a long time coming.
In all honesty, I've been putting it off
because there's a lot of bags.
I'm surrounded by 22, 22 bags, 22 of my designer bags.
This is not including more high street bags
and it also doesn't include the two bags
that I currently have on Depop either,
which are still available.
I will share my Depop somewhere in the info box
if you wanna go and check it out.
And to be honest, looking at the collection,
I'm happy to downsize,
like I'm looking forward to downsizing.
I can see that it's definitely something
that needs to happen.
I very rarely get them all out like this and look at them.
And I can see there's definitely a couple
that I would be happy to find a better home for.
There's definitely a few that just feel like
they don't fit in the collection anymore.
I'm gonna try and whiz through these
and be as concise as possible.
However, you may wanna get some snacks,
something to drink because it might still be a long one.
So two things, number one,
I posted a little question box on Instagram stories
so that hopefully I'll be able to answer
all of your questions that you guys have
about certain bags.
But if there is anything that you want to know
that I don't answer, please drop it in the comments.
I'll do my best to answer your question.
I also realized that we were missing a bag
and had to go and get it from the office.
So we now have 23.
So I'm gonna get started with my smaller bags.
I'm gonna whiz through them
because my smaller bags really don't like
thrill me that much.
This is actually an area of my bag collection
that I would say needs a little bit of attention
giving to it, a little bit of like consideration.
I think it just needs work.
Basically I have a lot of black bags
and when I go out of an evening,
I don't always wear black.
One of the first bags that I have in my smaller sizes
is this YSL Clutch.
It's like a black velvet.
It's really gorgeous.
And then it has the gunmetal hardware
and it's got like these little black jewels in it.
And I just think it's stunning.
I still love this bag so much.
I don't get too much wear out of it,
obviously because it's an evening bag
and I have not been places for the past like year or so.
But yeah, this is the kind of size I'm working with.
So it fits my phone and my keys
as long as I don't have like a big chunky set of keys.
And then it's got card slots in it.
So I don't even need to take my card holder out.
It's really great.
And then it's got a zip kind of area there
for if I want to have any coins or anything like that.
It's got the little popper closure
and then it has a chain,
which you can make very, very long.
You can take it off.
I sometimes like tie it
and then make it just so it's a little bit of top handle.
But the majority of the time,
I actually just end up taking the chain off.
I really like using it just as a clutch.
So that's a lovely little one in my collection.
I think I got it in 2018.
If I'm wearing an all black outfit of an evening
and I want to take a little bag,
this is generally my go-to.
Then we have another YSL clutch,
which is like the quilted kind of clutch with gold hardware.
This one, I very rarely use.
If I'm honest, I actually didn't buy this one.
I was gifted it on a work trip with YSL in Paris.
And it's just such a lovely bag.
It's a lovely memory of that trip,
but I really do love my little velvet clutch so much.
So I tend to use that one a lot more than this one,
but this is one that I will always cherish
because the memories attached to this are just so fun.
Then we have a new edition,
which was a gift from Jimmy Choo.
I had a little work trip with them in August
and they very kindly gifted me this.
This is a really nice one.
It's actually much larger than,
well, not much larger,
but like significantly larger, I would say.
It doesn't look it,
but when they're actually physically sat next to each other
on the surface,
this one is taller and a little bit wider
and it fits a bit more in as well.
It's got a little bit more give to it,
but a very similar structure to the YSL on the inside.
It actually has an extra pocket.
But the difference with this one,
in addition to the aesthetic,
is that you can't remove the chain either.
It's a really lovely clutch,
a really nice, easy one to style up.
And then my other tiny baby one
that barely fits anything in it
is my Valentino Rockstar bag.
I really wanted to sell this,
but there is something about it.
I would never really wear this anymore.
I'm waiting for a wedding
where I decide to wear a color that goes quite well with this
or it pops against.
I don't know when that's gonna happen,
but there's something about this bag
that I am struggling to let go of.
It's very cute.
The size of it and shape of it is so cute.
I love the color.
This kind of sagey color is very, very pretty.
It's like a mint greeny,
halfway between a mint green and a sage.
Really, really stunning.
I love the chain on this.
It's so intricate.
It's quite a thick chain
that's got a lot of loops through it.
I just think it's really stunning.
But yeah, anyway, I got this one years ago.
I actually got a little bit of a press discount on it
from Louisa Villaroma,
so I think it cost me about 500 pounds.
Got a little pocket at the back
and then not much else going on in there
apart from a little authentication card
and that's about it.
Okay, now we get on to some bags
that are a little bit more fun.
The first of which on Instagram,
you guys are already asking about so much.
So this is my Fendi camera bag.
This, when it catches the light,
you can kind of see how it doesn't look brand new anymore.
It's very well loved.
It's still holding up well,
but when you can just tell that a bag
has been loved and worn religiously,
like that is this bag.
I'm pretty sure this is molded to the shape of my body.
Look at that.
So this bag I bought in 2018.
I actually bought it around the same time
I bought the YSL clutch
and I love this bag so much.
It has been such a great addition to my wardrobe,
to my bag wardrobe.
It fits a good amount.
I can get my phone in here,
my vlogging camera, which I just went to show you,
but I'm actually looking right now.
My keys, hand sani, card holder.
Yeah, this is one that has a lot of stuff in it.
I literally use this on a daily basis.
This one is always out.
If I'm just popping out to walk the dog,
this is what goes on.
If I'm just popping out to the shops,
this is generally what goes on.
If you're looking for like a first bag,
something that's like for everyday use
and you don't have to carry a lot,
like this wouldn't be like a work everyday use bag,
but like casual, personal, everyday use
and you obviously don't have children,
so let's talk about the amount of stuff
you have to cart around.
If you are looking for something
that just holds your own personal things on a daily basis,
this one is amazing.
I would say any camera bag.
YSL do amazing camera bags.
They actually also do lovely camera bags.
Like this style of bag is honestly the most useful
to have in your wardrobe.
It just tends to go with everything.
There's never been an outfit that I thought
this really clashes with that.
I have actually dressed this bag up
and worn it with like a skirt and a blazer.
I'll try and pop a picture here.
And I love that look.
That was a fashion week look and I loved that look.
I still love that look today,
but I also wear it with like my cycle shorts
and a sweatshirt.
This bag, like this is the girl that can do both.
I love that.
And I'm pretty sure they've increased
the price of this a lot.
On that subject, that is one of the reasons
why I'm gonna link to as many bags as I can,
but I won't be saying what I paid for these,
partly because I don't have that kind of memory.
That is like encyclopedic memory,
but also the price increase will have been a fair amount
since I started buying a lot of my bags,
especially a couple of the Chanel's.
There have been multiple price increases
since I bought a couple of those.
So that will be completely different now as well.
I'm pretty sure the Dior book totes
have gone up in price as well.
So I will link to everything,
but I don't feel like it's super useful
me saying what I paid like a couple of years ago.
Moving on, we have a bag that actually fits really nicely
with what I'm wearing right now.
But weirdly, I don't wear enough.
I love this bag.
However, I find the branding on it.
I don't feel like it suits me that much right now.
This is like the perfect neutral.
I'm just, I'm scared to say it,
but after so many years of loving the sports luxe vibe,
I don't think I actually, my throat is choking up.
I don't think it's for me anymore.
I think I may have outgrown it
and that makes me really sad.
But yeah, I'm on the fence about this one.
However, there have been bags in my collection
that I have come away from for quite a long time
and then gone back to.
Like there was a bag, it'll be coming up soon,
that I bought, lots of you will know, for Christmas.
And then I had so many questions over the summer
because everyone was like, where is it?
Why has it not been worn?
What is going on?
And sometimes I just, I'm not gelling with a bag
at that point in time or at that season.
So maybe this is just, we're having a moment
where we need some space from each other.
One that I always come back to is my Chanel Boy.
This was my third ever designer bag purchase.
This is stunning.
I have zero regrets about ever buying this.
It's so gorgeous.
It's worn very well.
Yeah, it's doing really well.
It's held up very well.
The sides are holding up quite well.
So a nice everyday one if I am going out,
not needing to carry much,
but I wanna look a little bit fancy.
But it was also a great bag
that you can really dress up or down.
Like I could take this out for evening wear or for day wear.
It is such a beautiful, versatile bag.
It's remained a real classic, timeless piece in my wardrobe.
I will never tire of it.
So the next bag is the other bag in my collection
that matches what I'm wearing very well.
This is supposed to be a great evening bag in my collection.
One that I reach for if I'm wearing lots of neutral tones.
I don't wear this.
And it really annoys me that I don't wear this.
It's such a cute bag.
Like you're kind of meant to wear it like this.
And the Jadior is like here, is that how you say it?
But this annoys me a lot.
I don't wear this like day to day, like for every day
because it doesn't have a long strap.
I should really, maybe if I was feeling
like I really wanted to work with this,
I should buy a longer strap
so that I could get day to day wear out of this
because the size of it and the style of it
does make for a great everyday bag.
But this one just doesn't really wow me so much.
So that is a bit of a sad bum.
But a bag that I have got a lot of wear out of
over the years is the Chloe Faye backpack in tan.
This is the mini size.
So I think they do a larger size.
I think they still make these.
This I actually own two of.
I have this thing, if you're new here,
this sounds so excessive and I'm so sorry.
I have this thing where I tend to,
if I love something, I tend to buy it in twos,
which is a habit that I really need to get out of.
I own this in a like teal blue as well,
which is one of the bags that's on my depot.
I don't get the wear out of it now
in comparison to the wear that I used to get out of it,
but I still would reach for it every so often.
And I could justify keeping one of the bags in my wardrobe,
but definitely not both.
I hate having bags in my wardrobe
that I'm really, really not wearing.
So the blue one is on my depot right now.
In terms of wear and tear, these do wear quite quickly.
The suede on the top is just very easily susceptible to,
if you've got dirt on your fingers, for example,
it's not ideal.
I found that the Chloe does fade.
Yeah, I don't know if you can see.
The Chloe is really hard to see on them now.
It really, after you touch this area a lot
to take the popper off, like this, it's quite a stiff one.
It does tend to wear down a little bit.
But apart from that,
the wear and tear on this one is fairly minimal.
You get a little bit of wear
from where this clasp rubs on the loop.
It's a nice little one to have in my wardrobe,
but not one that I get a lot of wear out of now.
But back when I bought this, which I think was like 2018,
I loved this so much and it is so cute.
So, so cute.
So yeah, that is one that I will always have in my wardrobe.
I can't see me selling that one on anytime soon.
It's just such a sweet little bag.
And speaking of sweet little bags,
this is a new edition from 2021.
I love this.
I love it so much.
This brings me a lot of joy.
Over the past, I would say year or so, maybe two years,
I've really started to try and incorporate bags
into my collection that have more texture on them.
Being someone that wears a lot of neutrals,
it's something that I feel like it's quite important
in spicing up my wardrobe and keeping it looking really cute
and not super monotonous.
And this was such a great addition
to my wardrobe for the summer.
I love this so much.
The black trim on this works perfectly
in with the fact that I wear a lot of black in the summer
and ties this cute little straw bag
in with a black outfit so perfectly.
I love the fact that the top handle is also black as well.
And then the back is mostly black too.
I also love the way it pops open.
So you like pull the L and then it like pops out.
This is the YSL Cassandra bag, just in the raffia style.
And it's basically impossible to get hold of at the moment.
I'm so glad I bought this one.
It fits my phone really, really nicely, nice and easily.
Like it can fit sideways as well.
I think it's a great bag.
If you're looking for a style of bag
that works like really well for day to day,
it looks very like polished and cute.
Holds a lot, like it's just very easy
to incorporate into your wardrobe.
I would say the Cassandra style of bag,
not necessarily the raffia style.
It comes in so many colors, so it is very versatile
and there's something for everyone.
I would say that is a great style of bag
if you have like a very feminine style
or you like a very feminine bag.
It's a great style of bag to go for
and would be a great like first bag.
And then we have the Chloe Tess bag.
This is in the brown crock.
This bag is gorgeous.
And one of the ones that I get asked about
on a regular basis, I actually don't wear this that much.
It's one that I come back to with regards to selling a lot,
but it's so beautiful.
Like the way it is designed to me is just stunning.
It has a top handle.
It has a long strap, which is really nice and thick,
very like Western style, I wanna say.
The strap is also removable, I believe.
You just pop this little bit.
Yeah, there we go.
So nice and easy to remove.
So you could just have it as like the top handle situation.
It's really easy to like get into.
It's just one popper, one section in the middle of the bag
and then a little tiny pocket at the front there.
Nothing on the back, really, really simple on the inside,
but fits so much in it.
It's very similar, I would say,
in size to the YSL Cassandra.
Although, cause it's round,
it's harder to fit like square items in.
But this wouldn't be one that I would recommend.
Like I know a lot of people are really, really in love
with this style of bag.
For me, it wouldn't be one that I'd recommend
as like a first purchase or like a must have
because it is a little bit harder to work with
like practically on an everyday basis.
And then we have two,
I'm gonna have to show you these together
cause this is ridiculous.
We have two purchases from this year.
I bought these in March.
I was meant to keep one.
I ended up keeping both because I couldn't choose between.
In hindsight, I should have just kept the yellow bag,
which I love so much.
I love it so much.
It's so gorgeous.
I love them both.
So this is the other one.
These are the YSL SAC de Jours in the small size.
I love both of these bags.
These are gorgeous bags.
The craftsmanship is gorgeous, but it's very simple.
So you don't have like sections on the inside.
It's literally like just one whole section.
There's no like zip or anything.
I personally don't mind that there's no zip.
I am renowned for never zipping up my bags.
But yeah, this fits a great amount in it.
It's an excellent day bag.
Like if you need to like carry around
a fair amount of stuff,
like I would say if you had to have say a little camera,
a phone, wallet, like an actual like wallet, keys,
maybe like a few items of makeup, even like a small diary,
like you can fit a good amount in here.
I can fit snacks in here and I love that.
So I have the SAC de Jours in the, they call it yellow.
However, I am well aware that lots of you
will tell me this bag is orange,
but if YSL tell me it's yellow, I'm gonna be yellow.
And then we have the beige.
It's a bit more of a yellow beige, if anything.
So if I'm wearing something a bit more warm toned,
it doesn't always vibe.
It's not necessarily the easiest beige in the world to style.
I think coming into winter, this will be worn a lot more.
Did I need both?
Absolutely not.
Could I make my mind up at the time?
No.
Was it very excessive?
Yes.
Are we moving on?
Yeah.
Okay, next we're moving on to some bags
that really excite me, really, really excite me.
First up, this one's a bit heavy
because it's actually the bag that I have been using
so much at the moment.
This is the Louis Vuitton Pochette Matisse in the,
I can't remember what they call this,
but it's basically like the, is it reverse monogram?
It's got like the, it's the classic Pochette Matisse
on the lower half with the dark brown
and little tan accents.
And then it's the reverse on the top, which is so gorgeous.
Up until, I would say a couple of months ago,
I thought I made a big mistake with this one.
But now that we've been through that summer to autumn
transitional period, this was like the perfect bag for that.
And it's such a great autumn bag.
I know it's going to be such a great winter bag.
I think it maybe just wasn't the one for me
during the spring.
I was definitely gravitating towards like
more colorful bags.
So like I said, with the Balenciaga,
sometimes you just like aren't vibing with something
at that point in time,
but this is just going to be one of those items
that I have in my wardrobe ever.
It has removable straps, which is great.
Not that I ever really use that
because I actually really like,
sometimes I only like using as like top handle bag,
but this is not one of them.
It is a bit more of a casual bag,
but the fact that it's top handle
and has some golden hardware on it and stuff,
it can be dressed up a little bit,
but for like a special occasion,
I don't think I'd be using this one.
You pop these two little bits on the closure,
clasp is what we're calling it.
We pop these two little bits here together, whatever.
This pops open.
Inside we have a divider.
In the middle, a lot of receipts.
And I've got so much like Paracetamol and stuff in here.
Got a pocket at the back as well.
I am really enjoying bags of this size at the moment.
They are very, very handy.
So someone has also just asked about the clasp on this
and whether it's easy to like open.
I've got to say like sometimes when I pop it,
it doesn't open.
And then sometimes I pop it and it does open.
So it isn't the easiest clasp to work with.
However, I feel like it's very secure, which I like.
The next one is my new baby.
I really can't review this one in depth really right now
because this is brand new.
This is the Chanel 19 in the like,
I don't know what this texture,
like this material is actually called.
I call it like tweed, but I don't know if that's right.
So whatever it is actually called, I will put on screen
because I'm actually not sure,
but I love this bag so much.
It is so fun.
It's the best size, very similar to the Pochette Matisse.
I always hold them one key,
so I actually don't know if they look like the same size.
But yeah, very, very similar size,
really similar vibe to be honest.
I actually started wearing the Pochette Matisse loads
after I'd bought this one.
And I think there's definitely like a particular style
that I'm really enjoying at the moment.
Like this has a flap on the back,
which could easily fit like your phone
or some kind of essential that you want to like
have easy access to.
It also has the top flap,
but then on the inside there's just one whole section.
There is a little pocket at the back.
And then that is literally it,
but it fits all the same stuff
as the Pochette Matisse basically.
So really nice and like easy and practical
for everyday wear.
However, not so practical in terms of like weather.
So I think this is more of a fair weather bag.
And this is one that I could literally wear out
if it was pouring it down with rain.
And I really like that.
Yeah, I'm going to have to sneak that into the top five,
even though it's very new because I just love it.
I have been talking for so long,
my camera actually just fell asleep.
Wild.
So moving on to the next size up of bags.
This is actually really hard.
I wasn't sure whether to do these
before the Louboutin and Chanel,
because it's really hard to tell like what holds more.
So I'm just going to go with these as being larger,
but I'm not actually sure that they are.
For those of you that are new here,
I not only buy things in pairs,
I buy things in like quads.
I've got quadruplets in terms of Givenchy Antigonas.
These two are two of my more recent Antigona purchases.
I really like this size.
These are very cute for dressing up like active wear,
like a real cute sport Luxie kind of vibe.
These actually come with straps as well.
You can see there's a little loop on the side,
which is for the straps.
I never use the straps on these.
It annoys me because the straps are actually really long.
These are the mini Antigonas.
So the small Antigonas have a much thicker strap,
which you'll see in a second.
But yeah, I own two of the minis.
I really like them.
I love the black crock on this.
It's so like glam, works very, very nicely
with like a leather trouser,
kind of tan blazer kind of outfit.
I have one that's in mind that I will put here.
I love this bag.
It's so beautiful, so stunning.
I really love the Antigonas in general.
They are one of my favorite,
my all-time favorite bag styles.
And I just think that they are so easy to wear.
They're very like durable.
Like I don't feel too precious about them.
Even the white, I really don't feel too precious about it.
These don't get a laptop or anything like that in them.
Just a lot of like daily, a lot of daily essentials.
If you are looking for a first bag,
I would generally say like YSL.
Okay, moving on to my more medium-sized bags.
I'm gonna get started with a favorite of mine,
which is so loved.
This is a gorgeous, like quilted velvet Prada backpack.
I don't really own many Prada bags.
I owned one before this, which was more like a travel tote.
And I have actually sold it on
because I just really wasn't getting the wear out of it.
But this one, I love.
This is a Forever bag in my wardrobe.
And the reason for this is when I was younger,
my mum had a bag that was very similar to this.
It was not Prada.
I feel like she would be watching this
really wanting me to like disclose that.
It was definitely not a Prada bag.
And I just vividly remember it from my childhood.
And when I saw this bag, it just brought me a lot of joy.
It's also like, obviously,
because it is a soft like velvet material,
it's very malleable.
So you can kind of cram a lot in without really like
feeling like your bag is like really out of shape.
But it's also like the material is thick enough,
like it's really lined.
So it doesn't feel too flimsy.
And even if you've put quite a lot in
and stuff quite a lot in,
it never looks like out of shape.
It's got these cute little pockets on the front,
which I always end up finding like random stuff in.
But yeah, it does really hold a very good amount.
And I love it for that.
Next, we have a bag that's kind of along a similar vibe.
Again, could fit a laptop at a push,
but I don't like to cram a laptop into this one.
This is the Balenciaga City bag,
which is actually one of the ones that whenever I show it,
and whenever I start wearing it again,
I get a lot of DMs about selling.
This one is so unique, not only to my collection,
but also in terms of like Balenciaga cities.
I very rarely see this knocking around both pre-loved
and I don't think they've like brought it back out again.
So this is the black suede and it's got gold hardware,
like a really gorgeous, like yellow gold hardware.
I believe Kim Kardashian had this one.
And I think that was why it was very, very sought after.
I absolutely love it.
It's got a really nice, like short strap.
So a great one for like throwing over your shoulder.
I tend to get a lot of out of this in the summer,
not only because of the material,
but the vibe of it actually,
because of the suede,
lends it to being a bit more like boho vibes.
So yeah, I tend to get a lot of wear out of it in the summer.
I haven't this summer to be honest,
but because I haven't been needing a bag of this size,
really, this is one that I will always have in my collection.
So I just think it's really, really stunning.
The next bag is a real classic.
This is the Chanel classic flap in the jumbo size.
I love the jumbo because I really like an oversized bag
and I love the classic flaps,
but I just, even with the medium,
wasn't really finding that they were big enough for me.
They just didn't really feel right for me.
I went for just like the classic like lamb skin.
It has silver hardware.
I really wanted something that didn't feel too dressy
and I don't regret that decision at all.
I really love the fact that I went for silver
because it's such a glam bag.
And I personally think that silver
comes across a lot more casual.
So that kind of toned it down a little bit.
And I just think it's so chic.
I also really like the fact that
I obviously have the Chanel Boy in the light gold.
And I really liked the fact that I had light gold
and not like yellow gold or the antique gold hardware
because it was a bit more like subtle.
And I definitely think that the silver on this
is more subtle as well and just works perfectly for me.
This again has the pocket on the back.
What I would say is the things that no one ever tells you
about getting one of these, number one, this bit.
This is like, I've spoken to a lot of other people
that have the classic flaps
and they're renowned for doing this.
And they don't warn you about it,
is that that little kind of like ridge there
can get like smushed down by the button up the top here.
If you're not very careful when you close it,
which is very annoying.
It can also mark very, very easily.
So if you don't store it right,
you can get little marks here on the bag.
If you go anywhere near this with long nails,
it's going to mark.
I'm not gonna lie, I had to make my peace with that
when I bought it, that this bag was probably going to
end up looking very well loved
because I wasn't prepared to go for the grain leather
because I don't like it.
I personally just don't like it as much.
Okay, we're on the home stretch now, people.
So back to the Antigonas.
I have another two to show you.
We have the OG, she's back.
My mom generally has this one
because I really don't get that much wear out of it.
She adores it.
She absolutely loves it.
It's the Givenchy Antigona in the small size,
like that's not small, in the grainy leather.
And it is the color pebble.
They actually brought this back.
I don't know if they still have it on sale,
but they definitely did like this time last year.
And that brought me so much joy
because I know how many of you loved this bag
and really wanted to get your hands on it.
This is, yeah, this is the OG.
So it's got the silver hardware, medium size.
This one actually,
it looks like it's still in good condition, but it's not.
It's really been loved, like really loved.
I have a bag organizer from Amazon,
which just about fits in.
I will link it if you want, but you have to really stuff it.
And to begin with, like when it first went in,
it didn't really want to go in
and it was quite hard to close it.
But the bag organizer helps to fill it out
a little bit more.
So it is, it's looking a lot better than it was.
But anyway, as you can see, this is my other one.
This is the Antegona in black,
silver hardware, smooth leather.
I absolutely love it.
The only thing I would say is regarding the strap,
these straps on the old style, you can't take off,
which I really liked.
However, on the newer Antegonas,
the straps actually have like a,
on the clasps have a little bit
where they kind of like dip in
and you can remove the straps,
which some people might be thinking, great.
And some people who own the bags will know
that sometimes you're walking down the street
or you're like fiddling with the bag
and these will just wiggle off like that
and you'll drop your bag.
And that really has happened to me.
So that is the only con I would say
about if you're buying a small Antegona now.
However, if you're looking for a pre-loved one,
they don't have that.
You just have to make sure you get like a 2016, 2015 version.
But yeah, I love these bags
and I do think you get a lot for your money
with these Givenchy Antegonas.
They really are quite weighty.
They feel like really fab quality.
You can fit so much in them
and they're great for daily use.
Right, the final two.
We are onto my tote bags now.
My biggest bags.
I have the Saint Laurent Reeve Gauche,
which is such a great bag.
And I think when I bought this,
everyone was like, that will hang around
for about like five minutes
and you'll never see it again.
And it's going to be such a trend bag.
They brought it out in so many different colorways now
and its moment has really like lasted.
And I'm so, so happy about that.
Mine, as you can see, it's very loved.
It likes to do its own thing, like shape wise now.
And I'm totally okay with that.
I use this actually a lot.
I probably do the wipe if I'm honest.
I can't tell if it's like still the color it was
when I first bought it, if I'm very, very honest.
It's definitely looking a little bit worn and loved,
but I have absolutely loved this bag
and I still love this bag.
I will continue to love this bag.
It's a great one as like hand luggage on holiday.
It's a great one for like,
if you're just out and about during the summer,
I find this goes with a lot of my summer outfits.
And if I need to carry like a lot of things,
this is a great bag.
And I actually do get a lot more use out of it
than you might initially think.
But yeah, we're definitely coming into the season now
where this one goes to sleep for the winter, it hibernates.
In terms of the inside, this is an absolute mess.
We have a big pocket here and then it's completely open.
So what I have done is ordered bag organizers.
I have this one here, which I talked about before.
I will link to it if I still can.
And this one flicks between this and the next tote bag.
It actually has room to roam about in this bag.
This bag is actually slightly longer than my other tote bag,
but I find it having an organizer in these kinds of bags,
very, very handy, unless I'm like going on a flight
and I'm really trying to cram as much in it
as I physically can,
and then I would go without the organizer.
But yeah, I love that bag.
And then we also have the Dior Book Tote, which I love.
This to me is like a little mini work of art.
I just think it's so cool.
I love embroidery on a bag.
I love a bit of texture.
I think they're gorgeous and they're such handy,
but actually very practical bags.
I do use these a lot.
The Saint Laurent Reef goes to actually better
if it rains because it has that coating,
whereas this is obviously like a actual fabric,
but this one works a lot better with winter coloring.
So I would use this on a like normal rainy winter day.
My felt organizer actually fits fully into this bag,
like perfectly, like it was made for the bag.
And I find that very handy if I want to carry like pens,
books, that kind of thing.
This is another one that I have noticed
the price increase a lot on this as well.
I don't know if I'm buying this now
at the price that it sits at,
because I think it now sits at,
I'm going to Google, please hold.
So this now retails, I bought this for 1,000,
either 1,700 or 1,800 pounds pre-loved.
And this retails for 2,400 pounds now, new.
And that's the exact like monogram, this exact size.
They do do it in a smaller size as well.
Oh, the small is only a hundred pounds cheaper.
What a scam.
Oh my God, the rebirch is only 790 pounds.
That is a great deal.
I actually didn't realize it was that price.
That's fab.
If you don't need a tote bag
and you're not going to be happy with the fact
that it doesn't come with like any form
of anything on the inside, no zip closure,
nothing is very basic, like what you get for the price,
but it is so beautifully made.
It's not particularly,
I had a lot of questions on the shape of it.
I have stuff in it at the moment,
which I need to take out because it's warping it.
It doesn't get particularly misshapen,
but I do like to use the bag organizer
to give it more structure.
I think it really helps it to keep its shape
because it can like pop in and out.
It is still a fabric bag.
It's not got any kind of like boning along the center
to kind of like keep this part of it like flush.
But yeah, I would say the handles on this are,
I'm not even giving you a closeup.
The handles on this are gross.
Yeah, it is definitely one of those bags
that I don't think will age particularly beautifully.
So those are all of my bags.
To recap on the top five,
which I've kind of been doing as I've been going along,
number one, the best starter bag,
the best like little everyday bag,
the best camera bag.
It's one of my best purchases.
I cannot fault this.
I'm so, so happy with it.
And my cost per wear on this is ridiculously low.
So I love this one so much.
Second, an oldie, but a goodie, my Chanel Boy.
I love it.
Yes, very expensive, but a really great all-rounder.
We also have the Pochette Matisse,
which I love because I was very happy with the price
versus the size of it, how durable it is,
the fact that it's structured, but not too structured.
I think it's a really great everyday bag.
It's not like super, super affordable
on the scale of like entry-level bags.
It's not like under the 1,000 pound mark,
but I think for what you pay,
you get a decent quality bag
with a good amount of like space and size with this one.
And I'm really, really happy with that.
In fourth, I'm gonna go with my Classic Flap
just because it is the ultimate bag.
And in terms of just my love for it,
it needs to be in the top five.
It brings me so much joy.
And then finally, my new baby.
And this might be cheating.
Maybe it should be a Givenchy Antigona,
but I just think that I love how much space it has in it
and the fact that it's such a great everyday bag.
It's so versatile, much like the Jumbo Classic Flap.
It just elevates an outfit so beautifully.
I mean, I couldn't not put it in the top five.
Let's just face it.
Just let me live, people.
Let me live.
So that is it for my bag collection,
my 2021 bag collection.
I think this one was definitely very, very overdue.
I hope you guys have enjoyed this.
Like I said, if you do have any more questions
about any of the bags, pop them in the comments below
and I'll do my best to get back to you.
I hope you're all having a lovely day
and you enjoyed this video
and I'll see you guys again very, very soon.
