Saggy bottoms, snagged hair, and scratches- true luxury experience with that Chanel boy bag 😜 only need to pay couple thousand for it too
Love 💕 my small boy bag.
I’m lucky enough not to have chain issues and I’m not precious about a “saggy bottom”. That’s the beauty of the bag 🥰
The saggy bottom is easily fixed with a base shaper and thankfully the hair thing has never happened for me. The Gucci 1955 Horsebit bag literally rips some of my hair out each time I use it though, so I know how annoying it can be.
Couple thousand? How about 5 😝
You know what really rips my hair out and has been for the past six years has been my Louis Vuitton speedy 25 the bandolier version god almighty that bag every time I wear the buckles in the back when it’s crossbody it always yanks out my hair if my hair is down I’m sure I’ve lost half my hair because of this bag 😂😂 petition for Louis Vuitton to change the buckles
Ugh the more I learn about Chanel the less inclined I am to ever buy from them. Definitely not after these insane price increases
When I was at the Chanel store in Paris the SA was pushing the boy bag. I mentioned some of the annoying flaws Sophie has mentioned before and the SA was highly offended. He literally blamed any flaws on the bag owner not caring for a bag properly.
The SA is wrong 🤔 I have the Chanel Boy Bag and I love it❤️🙈😅
@@oracien9858 What year did you buy yours? I’m wondering if the newer ones don’t have the same issue that Sophie’s has.
I agree with the SA. They’re only “flaws” to some who don’t know how to use the bag.
I love 💕 my small boy bag. I don’t have chain issues and I’m not precious about a “saggy bottom”. That’s the beauty of the bag 🥰
@@CarolCreates please stop commenting the same thing everywhere. we get it you like your boy bag
@@marielang9474 commenting “everywhere” ⁉️
Wind your neck in … I made *one comment* in the main body and one reacting to this comment.
Did they remove the dislike 👎🏾 button because of you too 🙄
The Bottega Jodie bag gets better!! When I bought mine I was annoyed with the zipper. But after wearing it around for like 2 weeks straight in Paris. The zipper is now smooth and the bag saggs a bit and looks better too!
The entire point of the Falabella tote (Stella McCartney) is that it’s meant to be slouchy. Like that one is literally called the fold over
Yes, the larger tote is less slouchy, especially with items in it. It comes with a wallet on a chain inside so I keep my most-used cards in there and who doesn't use their phone to pay anymore these days? There is a phone holder in there too!
Honest to god if you take some Coach Leather Cleaner and then the Coach Leather Moisturizer to that scratch on your boy bag it will come right out! I work for coach and some of these customers and their long nails 🙄 its like a death sentence to some bags but hey the Cleaner and Moisturizer works so well. I swear by it. I use it on my Louis, Dior, and Chanel bags and it works like magic.
Hey fellow Coach employee :)
I have four Stella McCartney Falabellas and i love ALL of them, for different reasons. granted- most of them are tiny/mini bags so i don't have issues with structure/ sagging much, but i do have a taupe foldover and basically everything you said is true, especially for the bigger falabellas- the noise, and weird shapelessness, heavy chain issues (actually mine is due for repair because the stupid chain broke, literally, i feel like the heaviness of the bag works against itself), but i originally got this bag to use it as an oversize clutch/ pillow/ cuddle buddy because I love that look- it's like pre-cloud bag
Thank you Sophie. Great advice. You are right, we need to own and use a bag for a while before we can notice all the downsides. It took me years to get there, now I know exactly, which styles are with buying. Happy Holidays.
This video was very helpful and opened my eyes alot about things to look at and check out before buying a new bag, There are so many bags I bought that are now just sitting on the shelf and collecting dust . Thank you for this helpful video ,I love your content, hope you'll have a beautiful week Sophie ❤ sending you love from Israel😊
I find these videos really helpful. Luxury bags are an investment and it's nice having a point of view explaining their practicality (or lack thereof) before investing. At the end of the day many bags are cute or stylish, I like knowing what to expect once the thrill of the new is gone.
The YSL Lou camera bag is my favorite bag. There are so many colors and it holds so much more than I thought it would. I got it two price increases ago and I’m so glad I did. Brilliant bag.
You are very nice Sophie! Even though I can't afford designer bags, you are very relatable, and genuine. Ps the picture you showed of yourself towards the beginning of you're vlog, which was when you went out and you were wearing a black blazer dress, you looked fab! Happy Christmas 🎄 to you and David x
Hi Sophie, lovely vid as usual! I went into the local prada boutique about 2 weeks ago, im quite certain that bucket bag is no longer under £1k. I have some bags/slg under men’s line under various brands as they seem better priced and just generally cool looking. Or just more understated designs. Definitely more bag for your money ✌🏼
As always I really enjoyed watching and learning. Thanks!
The Stella McCartney bag may look better in real life but on camera i thought it looked a tad like something from a market stall.
It's always so annoying when we spend so much on our bags and then stuff happens.
I always enjoy your videos! Your review of the Alma BB actually helped me make the decision to get it and I was fortunate to find it in the boutique!
I love the Alma, in all and any sizes.
One of your best video of 2021 Sophie. I'm so glad you are sharing the reality of owning these expensive handbags. I had to sell my original Fendi Peekaboo. The clicking noise of hardware, heaviness, and awkwardness of center divider drove me nuts.
Great video Sophie! I have found that I love when a bag has an outside pocket for my phone. For this reason I love my Chanel 19 for everyday use. Your birthday earrings look beautiful on you. Sending a big hug from the US. XO
Thank you so much for the practical advice!! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it. I’ve been thinking about an everyday bag and now I think I’ve got it! Your the best✨❤️
I simply adore how you handle your bags as mother handles her children. For some those would be "just bags". And you are the example how bags are so much more: daily companions, investments and objects of pride and love. ❤ You are always classy, kind and simply fabulous. It's such joy to watch your videos and learn from your knowledge and experience.
I totally agree with all your commentary and based on your advice i purchased the LV Alma BB this March and is the "my go " daily bag. Wonderful advice Sophie, thank you. 🤗
I remember another CZcamsr saying that the Stella McCartney bag was so noisy it sounded like she was being followed down the street by a goat herd. That really made me laugh. I mostly don’t like it because it looks like a cheap and nasty mess.
I like the look of the Boy bag but so many people have had bad experiences with it that it will never be on my wish list.
Ya I don’t like anything Stella does. Looks cheap
I have a smaller Falabella (not sure whether it’s mini or a tiny; got it this February) and it doesn’t make any sound at all. I am generally very happy with it, especially that no animal was slaughtered and skinned for me to look stylish 😇
@@TressaArasheben The larger totes come with a chain and wallet inside, so I've had no problems at the check out. Loose items go in their own pouch. Loose linings are easier to clean, which I like, but understand some people get lost in them.
I don’t think it looks cheap but the design is just poor
@@TressaArasheben I also recommend the bag! I absolutely love mine and been using it for years now. Its out of very good material and it doesnt show any using signs
I just bought a Prada bucket bag. It’s my first luxury bag, and I love it! On my list is a Lady Dior, and I had been considering the mini because I don’t carry much. This video was very helpful because now I’m thinking a larger size may be less frustrating even though I don’t need the room. I had a similar experience with a Kate Spade bag in a small size. I love the bag, but is frustrating to use.
Thank you for a super informative video - I had never considered looking at a bucket bag, I will now! Great suggestions for the other bags too.
Another great video! and at the perfect time. I don’t do chain bags because they always tangle my hair; very annoying. Also, clear colored bags tend to get color transfer in spite of any measure to avoid it.
Omg I just love you. Finally someone said it loud. And also most luxurious stuff doesn’t have even a little bit great quality.
The thing is love, when you love a bag so much youd would use it, undermining the bad trait on how inconvenience the bag was despite knowing that. HOWEVER, once you found a great bag potentially could replace that bag, you can give 1001 reasons how the former bag is not worth it.
I have the boy bag in a blue color, I think calfskin. It does squeeze the bag a bit but I have an organizer in mine so no sag. The chain has never gotten caught in the chain but I do mostly wear my hair up because that’s how I prefer it. So I love my boy amd no corner problems so far. Thanks for this vid Sophie!
Thank you Sophie, I’ve been watching your videos for a few years now but don’t often comment. I’ve been wanting a luxury bag for such a long time. I got a really good buy on the ysl camera bag , on the Black Friday sales , so I finally went ahead and purchased it in black. Love the colour you got , but I’m happy that you love the bag ❤️🇦🇺💕
You know you can always rely on Sophie to try them out and give her honest reviews for us!! 😂❤️❤️ love you Sophie! Some of us (me included) really have to save up for quite some time to get one of these bags so it’s really really helpful to see if it’s any good to purchase them. Thank you so much!
Great video! I have never been bothered/complained about my Steel McCartney bag, but do agree the BV bag looks amazing but a hazard to open&close….
I second you Sophie on the Lady Dior bag! It is so beautiful and sophisticated looking and it has such great craftsmanship. I also find it very functional and roomy for all of my things.
I've got the Alma BB and the YSL and while I can also vouch that they are great day bags, I had strap issues with both of them as I'm quite short. I got a cobbler to punch me a few extra holes in the YSL strap and now it's super versatile, and I tend to use an adjustable Coach strap with my Alma if I'm not carrying it top handle.
I bought a Balenciaga City bag recently. Mock croc. The quality of the leather, zip, lining and bright yellow gold hardware was shockingingly bad! I returned it immediately. I then bought an Aspinal of London bag at a quarter of the price, and the quality is ten times better!! Lovely leather and finishing, champagne gold hardware. Great zip etc.
Balenciaga City, my favorite! Perfect !
Hey! Thanks for the video. I completely agree with you about the boy bag. I sold it almost immediately after purchasing it.
Aw, I love the look of Chanel boy bag, I think more than the classic flap to be honest-regardless of the corners or squishiness/sagginess haha. I'm so indifferent about bucket bags though, I can't tell if I like them or not!
i love your blouse! also, i really miss your Christmas vlogs from last year! youtube auto played one of them after this video and it reminded me of how relaxing it was!!
The Gabrielle backpack is a bucket bag and can be worn crossbody as well. The structured bottom makes it even better! I think that is always available and defiantly worth considering.❤️
This video is so helpful just this week I gave one of my daughters a pair of Christian Louloutin pumps I paid $750 wore them once they were to narrow in the front couldn’t stand how you see the toe line and I also gave a zipper Louis Vuitton wallet that I paid $950 bought when I traveled to Las Vegas to my other daughter cause I had it in my drawer never used it too hard to get into and also too heavy!
This is the best luxury bag video ever I even watched the commercials to make sure you got paid for it! Very helpful thanks ❤️
Love this video! Thank you for sharing your honesty and bag wisdom 😊
I love the bucket bag that is def on my buckets list hee hee . I use a cheap bag in that style so easy to put things in and take out. Thanks for the info.
Love your shoutout to the med Lady. I got that size too after your previous reviews. I'm glad to report after a year that it's my best choice. 🥰
I’m heading to london from Tokyo and making a special trip out to bicester village and of course Harrods and the vintage bag place you mentioned! Can’t wait! Always love your videos! Keep it up girlie!
I work hard saving up for my bags -- once I get them, they need to be working for me! I used to buy bags just for the hype and functionality wasn't the priority but as I've grown my collection I've gotten very picky. If the handle drop isn't workable, if it's hard to get in and out of, if it's way too small or too large, it's a No from me. I have so many bags I love, so anything new I add really needs to stand out and beat the existing competition in my collection. Wish I had this video when I first started collecting!
Thanks for the info Soph. Love you much!
Laughing my head off at "I don't wanna do that to myself" and nobbly bits wrap the hair lol
Fun video and great points 👍. I have a Sac du Jour Nano in the same color as your YSL :). I'm eyeing a slightly larger (baby) Sac du Jour. I find they are so roomy, classy and easy to use. Thanks for sharing.
I have the Saint laurent camera bag saved on my karma app, as well as the sac du jour and I can't decide between them 😅 I love camera bags, I have two from Kate spade that I use on a regular basis. As always thank you for your videos! Even in a video about the worst bags you aren't negative. Happy holidays and happy new year Sophie! 🎉
I think that YSL color might be “Blanc Vintage”-that’s my favorite shade, too. Elegant and unusual.
I have the Bottega Veneta mini Jodie bag in the Grass color and I don't have an issue with the zipper at all. It fits all my essentials and I love it!
Thank you. I don't own anything nicer than a Fossil bag, but have considered getting one luxury bag. The Chanel Boy looks won me over, but I will look at the Dior or YSL bags you mentioned instead. I appreciate the honestly with all the flaws.
I can’t believe you mentioned that white YSL! I have ordered it for Christmas as a bag for my wedding year 🥰
Thanks for your thoughts, much appreciated. Have a lovely eve. Keep cosy. See you soon 💖🏴🎄
I haven't used my Alma BB in years, but you've inspired me too again! Also, you're selling me on that Lady Dior (medium).. she is beyond gorgeous. Just subscribed!
Now I really, really want the YSL camera bag!!!! Another great video, Sophie!! 💕💕💕💕💖
I'm so conflicted about that bag. I almost bought it last week but other reviews said it felt cheap. I'm torn!
Hahaha I never close my mini Jodie either. But I can’t help how much I love the look 🥰 amazingly entertaining video as per usual 😊
This is my all time favourite Sophie video!!!
Another good size of the Lady Dior is the small version My Lady Dior abc, it comes with a good length of strap handle to wear cross body or in another way and because of the size it's perfectly fine for day wear and suitable for nights out.
It's one of my favourites 😊
I’m stopping mid video because I will forget what I want to say. I have avoided the Chanel Boy Bag since it’s release… it just never seemed to be a big that grabbed me. I have a number of Chanel bags and my most reached for is my calfskin classic mini/small bag… I really don’t know it’s official name. I’ve had it 10+ years and it’s in perfect condition. I have either the same or a very similar Stella McCartney bag and it’s the heaviest bag I own. I do love it but it’s just ugh to carry. Ok next half of your video! X
Awww I love my bottega mini Jodie and use it all the time. I have no issues with it at all. To be fair, I never carry much stuff and stopped using larger bags ages ago. To each their own I suppose, but I adore it.
Love your Vlogs!!!! Very informative and yet entertaining! 💕
This is such an entertaining video, did you ever try to sell the “bad” bags and if not, why?
Love that top on you Sophie! I saw it on Lily silk yesterday and thought about buying it!
Loved how detailed you’re 🙏
The Stella McCartney Flabella bag was extremely noisy. I gave mine away a few years ago. I just went through and purged a lot of my older bags that I just wasn’t using anymore. A few Gucci and a Chanel bag that did NOT wear well. I’d rather have my closet filled with bags that I ACTUALLY want to use and love to grab. Plus I was able to make some of my friends extremely happy with some freebies! 😉
Love your videos, Sophie!
If you’re looking for new friends, I’m available 😆
@@keemiel4005 Hahahaha, yes, me too. And I promise I won't complain about noisy bags XD
Hello friend 👋😁
It makes me so happy that you showed the ysl camera bag! I bought it two weeks ago with you Farfetch discount! I love it :)
May I ask how much discount is 🤔 ?
@@anne-marie2972 hey! Sorry I didn't see this earlier, I paid 981 pounds instead of 1090
i'm laughing so hard at the stella mccartney... i only like the mini version of that bag because it has a) the perfect slouchiness and b) isn't loud. my mom has one of the larger ones and you can always hear her coming and she struggles to find anything in it because it's *too* slouchy
I went to saxs in Atlanta this past sunday and the cost of the lady diors are insanely expensive over here in the US. Even the mini, it was beautiful and the chain strap felt amazing but when the lady told me the price i was blown away.
Ooh I recognize the earrings David got you on your birthday from the vlog, Sophie! They look fantastic!
Sophie, I really appreciate this video. I am guilty of not thinking through how the bags will function and hold up! How stupid is that? I think of style, size and color...and that’s it. No more. I did get the mini Jodie already, and like you, I love the style. It was only after I got it home, I saw how the zipper is a pain, and it is hard to get things in and out because the strap is right there on top of the opening. An SA in LV saw me carrying it and asked if it was easy to get in and out of (a little snark?) I looked at her and said, “No! But I still love it.” Yes to bucket bags. I use my LV in damier azul with blue accents all the time.
I really love bucket bag … Even during my youth. Got few of them .
I LOVE your videos! Chocked full of great and useful information! Thank you, Sophie for giving us videos we can use in making very expensive luxury purchases! 🥰😍😘
glad to have rediscovered you Soph. - i have no interest or ability to afford anything you post about but i just love a bit of you - so fun! i joined the gang in blazer times
Love this and great tips and suggestions 😍👌🏾👏🏾
I'm glad that functionality is paramount to me than style. I have an all LV canvass capsule bag collection and they all work hard for me. I'm in Carson city Nevada right now with an over 6in snowstorm. My Nevefull and speedy in DE is a workhorse! Luxury even in inclement weather lol. Yeah I realized chain straps bug the heck out of me. My vachetta canvass are reserve for sunny dry weather. I still love watching unboxings and reviews but I am quite happy with what I got.
LOL this clip is so funny esp. when you said “ I have more annoying bags to show you 🙂” LOL
I love my Chanel boy with top handle, and it's maintained it's shape and I've never had my hair caught, but it is heavy. But I'll never get rid of it bc the look is sooooo everything. :)
I am so surprised about the boy bag ! I have 3 of them , two old medium and one small ! And have none of these issues!!! Purchased them around 2015 and 2016 ! One thing though that mine has is some wear at bottom corners because the way they are shaped , but don’t bother me !
Hi Lady Compliments of the Season🎄, totally enjoyed this video, thanks for the tips, you made me just made me laugh…. Blessings!!!😆
Great video as always. Would be interested in your opinion on the Alaia corset bag. I love it.
Loved the video! My medium Lady Dior is my favorite bag too. The strap does fit me crossbody as a busty woman at 5'4" (161 cm?) tall
This is a super helpful video! Thank you Sophie. I was considering the boy bag and now, it is a definite no no!
Thank you for the video. Enjoy your week!
As a bag maker I am taking notes 😂
love these videos!
Thanks for this very informative video. I was considering the mini Jody, but now I know that it will drive me crazy!
BTW I agree "nobody likes a saggy bottom" 🤣🤣🤣
I just got LV pochette metis in black and the quality is amazing. Perfect for everyday cross body bag and under £2000!
I agree with you on the functionality of a bucket bag, and I think that also extends to hobo bags! I have the Chanel hobo bag from 2018 that is similar in function to your bucket bag, and it’s my favorite every day bag. I have been thinking about getting the Fendi mon tresor bucket bag because the quality and pop of red is just fabulous. :-)
I would also include on the list of good choices and practicality the Loewe Amazona !
Thanks for this great feedback and advice. I refuse to save up for an Hermès Birkin or Kelly because they look so fiddly to open and close. In fact, the women who have them tend to leave the bag unlatched all the time.
I think the larger Birkins should come with the organizer box inserts. It’s a shame when they get all lumpy and misshapen. Not a good look when they lose their shape.
It's nobody is closing the bag.. On if it's resting on the shelf.. Such a hassle to open and close. and you need to place it on a flat surface. You need 2 hands to do it. So on tge end it's an fully open tote bag.. Just like the basket, Jane Birkin was complaining about 😅
I had a Stella McCartney in my Farfetch Wishlist, so thank you!! Such a shame about the boy, it really does look lovely on
I have a recent model and I feel like they might have fixed the noise issue because I don't have that problem. I does look saggy when empty though, it's a good everyday bag for someone who brings a lot of stuff with them.
@@FilAlexa I love my ” old” Boy Bag too😍👍🏽 It looks great ❤️❤️❤️
I have a small boy (equivalent to the mini classic flap size) and love it! The different size and strap drop help avoid the saggy bottom. My hair occasionally does tangle, but I find it does with other chain straps. As for corner wear, the newer versions is caviar are a bit hardier. I wouldn't recommend getting it in lamb. Also got mine in ruthenium back in 2016 and haven't noticed any issues with the hardware.
I bought Stella’s small Falabella that I got from Farfetch this year and don’t have the sound/noise at all. 99% of the time I keep the longer strap/chain inside the bag (which I guess would make some noise but I haven’t worn it “outside” the bag) unless I need to free my hands to carry something else, then I wear it crossbody. For me it’s a 10/10 experience.
Great video!!!
Need to get Alma BB, been wanting it for a while.
Great video. To the annoying bags I'd add a Hermès birkin and Gucci Jackie. Same reason.. Get in and out is a hussle.. Also struggling a little bit wir Loewe puzzle. You need 2 hands to open, because it's soft.. 😅
I am surprised that no other Falabella owner besides my humble self is disappointed with the quality.
I really love the rock chic Kate Moss late 00's look of it and would like to support the brand and their philosophy.
However the chain is a catastrophy. It started losing its gunmetal dark silver tone after the third use in some places, revealing coppery metal underneath.
And I was paying attention not to carry the bag out while it was raining or anything of the sort. And I saw that happen to others too. When I was in Japan I saw a woman with the same model on which the chain had turned a completely different, red-ish coppery colour.
Wish I had known that before getting it. Now I only wear it on occasion to slow down the process of the hardware tarnishing more and more =/
Best avoid that bag
I ALMOST bought the Stella McCartney a few years ago. But I immediately noticed the collapsing of the lining and realized how difficult it would be for everyday running around. However...Do you think an organizer would help? I use organizers for my Hermes and a few of my LV's. I wonder if that could be a solution for this bag. I still like it. Thanks Sophie!
I have the smaller version and love it. I do use a large wallet inside which I think helps with keeping the shape. Also, mine isn't metallic like Sophie's so mine doesn't make crinkly sounds.
I love mine. But you could appreciate right away it’s a slouchy bag. It’s the style and look of that design. I have not used an organizer but that’s a good idea to try.
I use an organiser in mine and wear it with the top bit folded over and it makes such a huge difference!
@@sadhbhnishuilleabhain1018 Which size of bag do you have?
@@ayb480 I have a smaller version too and it functions perfectly. Have two 10x10x1,5cm wallets in it…I don’t know why but I have zero issue with sound nor shape of the bag staying as intended. I love it!
OMg I love that Small bag maybe Botega. But wow that zipper seems impossible. I don’t see a moment in my life with two kids and rarely a moment I’d need a small bag and not be in a hurry where I could do something to that degree. I will admire from afar. ❤️
You can use leather colour fo the edges. It works very well and the bags look like new.
Totally agree with the Stella McCartney Falabella bag. Sold mine again in a heartbeat....
I’m so excited to get my YSL camera bag!! It’s back ordered and will arrive 12/30! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 can you please do a more thorough review of that bag? Do you own in other colors?
I just love your points you’ve made on each bag. Well done. So funny about Stella bag - the chains make me crazy and I just can’t carry it. I bought a beautiful Aspinal of London vegan bag and for us vegans - it’s really great. Loving the size, look and x body strap. Just fyi 😊🌱🌱
Hey Sophie.. great video as always… I don’t have any of these bags, but I do remember the LV Artsy bag that you purchased and I have always loved this bag after watching your video….is this a good bag to own,? Love the aesthetics but is it practical and user friendly etc 😊
Fantastic video! Super helpful and thank you!
