#handbagholic - Jak na to + styl
It's been a while since we sat down and just chatted! Thank you to everyone who submitted a question - tell me something about you in the comments below...
Such a brilliant q&a! Thank you for talking about children. My friends and I are a similar age to you and are sick of being asked when we are having children. Not everyone wants children, and some people aren't able to. That doesn't make them any less of a woman. And if people want to be parents, that's good too! Each to their own. I'm happy being an Auntie to two toddlers and focusing on my career.
So glad you enjoyed it. I hear you! I think it’s beautiful that not everyone wants the same thing. That’s what makes us unique and different and valuable in our own way. Here to celebrate choice and freedom from a very narrow view of the world. 💖💪
You're reminding me of how I don't think of myself as unconventional. But a few minutes with people like those, make me scream for the exits.
I know they "mean well", but it's code for simply being self-satisfied. It's like if you're single, everyone imagines you're banging whoever you can like Samantha in SATC, OR they expect you to cry on their shoulder about your sad love life and give you blow by blow (unfortunate choice of word there but you get my drift) descriptions of failed dates.
No other option occurs to them(!)
@@deborahcurtis1385 thanks for sharing. I know what you mean. The biggest turning point for me was realising that most people are just projecting onto others. Like you say, they often only mean well but they do damage in the mean time by disregarding your choice because it never has been a considersation for them. Name calling also, such as being called 'selfish' for not having children is also borderline manipulation - although I feel more and more people are becoming less rigid in their thinking and lets hope this continues.
@@Handbagholic I practically brought up my sisters and not having had much of a childhood myself have no illusions about what's involved with parenthood. People who have the kids, house marriage 'and the whole catastrophe' will often quietly admit had they known what was involved they'd never have done it. My mother resented us and that is damaging to everyone concerned. There isn't a magic fix for this and people need to grow up about it all. It's easy to have kids when you're young and it's when you're least prepared. IDK ..but I get intolerant of people's self indulgent remarks which hide more complex motivations.
Agreed! Thank you for being so honest about it, I get so much kickback when I say I don’t want kids and I want a lifestyle! ❤
"I would adopt" (later in life). What a brilliant response. There are so many unloved children out there and it's great to embrace how that can fit in for you.
Exactly this! 💖
This is a great video. Women do have more value than having children. I'm so glad to hear your focus and ambition. I will wish you well on your journey
Thank you, I'm so glad you liked it. All the same to you, I appreciate you taking the time to leave such kind words
Loved your openness about your life! Thank you for this. So awesome you can have a career in something you love. The children discussion is always touchy for some people. You do you! It’s hard being a parent, I was an older mom, I had so many friends who couldn’t have kids and went through hell trying. I told myself I wouldn’t do that to myself and let whatever happened happen. I am blessed with 3 kids but it’s not for everyone. Enjoy your life with abandon. Looking forward to your next vlog. Merry Christmas 🎄
Hi Steph! This was so much fun! And it was really good to hear about your business aspect of what you do, those were some really good tips, thank you!
So glad you enjoyed it Caleb! Always great to chat to you
So exciting to see your channel continue to grow and learn more about you! You're such a discerning buyer and a genuine person. All the best.
🥹🥹 you’re very kind thank you 🙏
I really enjoyed your q&a. Thank you for taking the time to tell about yourself and how you started your journey.
Thank you so much Steph for opening up your private life to those of us who follow and admire you. There is nothing more inspiring than a strong independent woman and you are all that and just the epitome of grace. You are interesting, entertaining but more importantly, trustworthy and I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for you in this venture moving forward! You make women proud. Lots of love from one adoring Canadian! ♥️
Oh Ruth - you're simply the most wonderful woman. Your support does not go unnoticed and I feel so grateful to have you here and your amazing energy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart
Very interesting! You’re so well spoken and lovely. I have been a loyal subscriber for about a year. It’s nice to get an insight into your life.
Having children is a personal choice!
❤❤❤Love it and thank you so much for honesty on all questions
Great Q&A! I was so excited my question was picked as one you answered. ❤❤❤
Thanks so much for sending it in! 💖
Really good Q&A! I'm often watching your videos and it was really nice to know you a little more. You're so sweet! And I can't wait for the vlog. : )
Yayyyy!!! Finally Finally Steph you came with this video because I was eagerly waiting for this video and your bedroom looks so so pretty and clean☺️☺️💖💖💖
Yay! Thanks Mansoor the video was filmed in a hotel room 💖
Loved this q & a. ❤ Your channel. Enjoy the holidays!
Thank you so much. Happy holiday to you too
Hi Steph! I love your videos and your content. Your content is really enjoyable . Happy Christmas!
Thank you! You too!
I really enjoy your videos, especially the shopping ones in department stores.
It was so great getting to know you in this Q&A🎉
So glad you liked it and thanks for commenting Amber!
Enjoyed this video!
I enjoyed learning more about you, Steph. 🕯️
Thanks Linda, it means so much that you watched
Wonderful video as always! I am strongly considering the Celine 16 small in black as well as the Trendy you have. They’re stunning! I remember your story about your grandfather and the Go 14 and it reminded me of my father. I think I purchase that one first for that reason ❤
I'm in Love With The Go 14 😍
Good choice! Thanks for sharing. Which colour is your fave?
I just love all your videos 🥰
Thank you so much!
Very informative Vlog and thank you for sharing😬
Your comment about women having value without having kids! This!! I can’t have children and I don’t want them for precisely the same reason. I been called selfish and been told constantly I’d change my mind. I’m in my early 40s and I still don’t want them. I rather have a Go-14 🤣
Katt I’m sorry you’ve been called that and your choice has been belittled to ‘you’ll change your mind’. Having a child doesn’t make you selfless person, and not having one doesn’t make you selfish. It makes you an adult who’s capable of making a decision that’s best for you and it’s ridiculous to think everyone should want the same thing 💖
Great Q&A Steph! You look lovely too!
Oh thank you Jenny
At least people will stop asking questions at one point. I am 46 now and i has stopped since i am 36/37. I never regret my choice and living my best life full with stuff we love. So many friends and family are complaning to us that they are always juggling with responsibilities and constantly worried about everything.
Great video don’t have kids if you don’t want them they will feel it and have emotional problems. It’s better left to the women that really want them. They are a blessing.
Great video Steph, gorgeous as ever
Thank you!!
You’re so authentic. 🥰. I just bought my first LV last week that how I found you.
Oh congratulations! Which LV bag did you go for? Thanks for your lovely words
@@Handbagholic I loved New Wave Chain Bag MM but it was out of stock 🥲so I decided to get Passy instead. ❤️🥹
Hi Steph :) how much would you sell the Aspinal of London lavender Mayfair bag?
Wow what a great vlog ❤
Thank you so much 😁
Great video.I have no kids either. I am 47 and have no regrets. It is up to us. 👍❤
I only recently found you on CZcams. I cannot afford a Chanel bag, but would love one. So I enjoy watching you talk about your bags. I also met my partner 9 years ago on a dating app (Plenty of Fish). A few months later, I moved into his flat. Also, we are not married, and dont intend to get married, as we are happy as we are.
Glad you found me and thanks for sharing 💖 we met on the same app! Glad it’s not just us 😄
Really enjoyed your q & a, thank you for being so open. I am 38 and got my son when I was 33. I was very focused on my career at that time and I have to say that it was hard for me to change my life. Love my son to the moon and back but a few years I struggled to be not so successful anymore as I reduced my working hours and changed my job to be more there and not travelling for work. It is not that I regret being a mom but I understand why women don’t want kids and I totally understand why. Be you and be happy that is important 🤗
Thanks for sharing your story. Yes it’s a big deal having children and I know if I become a mum, it’ll be when I’m older in a less conventional way. Appreciate you being here and taking the time to share 💖
Nice video.
Thanks for the honest Q&A. I did know very early on that I did not want to have children and it is kind of interesting especially at your age that you are always asked about that and people might think it is not normal to not wanting to have children. Being in my 50s now I have no regrets, to each their own. I definitely think you should go with your own instincts and I do not think that I would have been a good mom because of the lesser desire to be a mom. That being said I’m a dog mom since my 30s and truly enjoy that. Thanks for great content creation.
The only thing I would say is just be mindful of leaving it too late to adopt if that is a serious option, as I am presuming you would adopt a baby/younger child and not someone aged 18, and someone becoming a parent of a young child at the age of 50 something + is a little risky (time and good health is not always on our side as we get older) I am not meaning to throw any negativity your way, but its a really important factor.
Thanks for sharing, it’s a good perspective. I think I’d actually adopt a slightly older child, not a baby. Definitely going to give myself another 10 years before this is a serious consideration I think.
I have a daughter who's 34 with 3 kids and a son 32 (almost 33) with no children yet but he's been married just over a year so I think they are planning a family. I couldn't wait to have kids after I was married and loved every second of it but totally understand that it's not for everyone. I see a lot of people in their twenties and thirties not planning on having kids more and more so I don't think it's uncommon anymore. Back when I had kids it was more of a given that kids were part of the plan but have seen that change a lot over the years. I really enjoy your down to earth classy and practical style and personally think 50 bags is fine. I have at least 80 and love them all. There are so many beautiful bags out there!
Yes I agree it’s a lot more common now, it’s such a big decision. Your collection of 80 sounds dreamy, please tell me your favourite I’m curious! 😄💖
Love my Hermes Picton 18 in black with gold hardware and into the smaller mini Chanels but so many more it's really hard to choose. I was heavy into Chanel and have a good collection and now really into Hermes. Have my wishlist put in for a Birkin 25 or 30 so fingers crossed. I bought my first LV Capucine that was a limited edition which I know you have some in your collection. Haven't used it yet but sure looks beautiful! @@Handbagholic
Your necklace is really pretty, can i ask where is that from? Thanks!
Thank you I linked it in the video description 💖
Hi Steph,
I am going to London soon and I want to give my wife a Demellier bag that she is dreaming on.
But I can’t find info about offline stores. Do they only sell online? Thank you!
Hey, no they do not have physical stoes but Liberty store in London had lots in when I went a week ago
Hi Steph! I am your newest Subrscriber from Virginia USA.
My question to you is where can i buy your channel bag preloved online that you trust.
Love watching you keep up the good work.
I was just gifted my first birkin 30 for my 23rd birthday and I can gladly say I am really obsessed with it! I too will not be someone who has a bunch of Hermes bags either.
Oh wow that’s amazing congratulations! Tell me more, what colour is it?
@@Handbagholic Bougainvillea!!! It’s in Togo so it gives more pink than coral I love it 😍pink bags are my thing!!
@@neebieslittleluxuries Sounds perfect! What a gorgeous bag
I’ve always wondered if you can write off your bags when doing taxes because they are assets helping your business produce money. Do you do this or just categorize them as personal purchases?
It depends on the bag and if I use it more for personal use. It’s a little complicated but most of them are personal.
Great video Steph! What country do you live in, assuming you are in the UK.
Hey Melissa, thanks glad you liked it. Yes UK
Hi Steph. I live in the USA. I have some designer bags I may consider selling. If I go to Fashionphile to sell, I will only get a percent of what the bag actually sells for. (I truly understand they need to make money also). Any other thoughts on where/how to sell my pre loved bags?
This is a great question; would love to hear Steph's thoughts, too!
Hi Steph! I have finally hit the subscribe button after watching this video.
I didn’t before bc I’m not actually wanting to buy luxury bags, nor do I have any myself-so I’m definitely not your target audience, but watching this and learning more about you and your values have really made me to want to show my appreciation for what you do. Props to you for knowing what you want and knowing how to get there. Glad to have someone else add their voice to the child/less debate as well. Here is to a great 2024 ahead for you and yours 🥂. Can’t wait to see what you do next.
Well, your support has honestly made my day. I’m so glad you’re here and thank you for your kind words. I’m very happy to fly the flag of childless by choice, it seems very outdated that we should all be expected to want the same thing - especially such a life change decision.
Wishing you all the love and happiness going into 2024 💖
@@Handbagholic wow i didn’t really expect a reply so thank you, this has made my night as well 😄 thank you for all your hard work doing all that you do, and i will continue checking in on your videos when they come out and cheering you on from a distance 🥳
❤❤❤
Do you have an Oroton bag??
I don’t I’m afraid I’ll have to check them out 💖
@@Handbagholic it is a contemporary brand from Australia
Great video. Love your channel and it was really nice to get to know you better 😊
I totally get that you might not want to have a children’s. It is not for everyone and more and more women doesn’t want it but just wanted to share my story, it might help someone who thinks children means no life, travel or career. I have a 3 year old daughter and travelling/ luxury goods was always my biggest passion. Since she was born we travel even more, she visited 5 continents with us. I also purchased most luxury goods in the last 3 years and I have got my life promotion at work (biggest step in my career in finance) when she was 1.5 years old. The only thing which has changed is less partying/ going out but I am 35 and it is not my interest anymore.
❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍🎄🎄🎄🌹🌹🌹
I want to send you a Christmas Card do you have a Po Box
Jeanette that's really kind of you! Sadly I don't have a PO Box currently
@@Handbagholic okay
Adopt at 50 60 😂😂😂😂😂
Ya no way. I’m 55 now no way I want to take care of kids. Mine are adults I’m glad I had them early. I’m tired now
@@katemiller7874 very true, only people understand who have gone through it and raised children because it is not only physical but kids are mentally challenging and can be tiring. On the other hand, I have no idea what people do with so much free time, such quiet lonely home, I guess but bags and majke videos 🙂 my house is dead without them.
You prefer the bag than you have your own child
I don't prefer. I don't want my own child and that's perfectly okay. Not everyone wants the same thing
