Living in the American Southwest desert, I’m always on the hunt for new straw bags, this is a wonderful introduction to some gorgeous fresh designs. Thank you 💕
Thank you for doing this fun & very informative video. The bags you’ve selected are very beautiful & the fact that you mentioned the source of the straw caught my attention to a side which I never thought about when I think about purchasing a straw bag! Much appreciated 💕🌷
Hi Anesu, we must be on the same wavelength because not only have I been considering my next summer/raffia bag purchase, but I was thinking that I needed to find a way to drop some commentary about the Loro Piana Sesia to you (and was going to just attach it to your latest video despite it not about the Sesia!) 😂 I love your picks for summer bags... my favorites were the Valextra, the Metier, and definitely all of those by Maison NH Paris 😍This brand seems like a gem! I have been eyeing a couple from Celine that I like, but I haven't been able to reconcile paying upwards of 2,500 USD for a raffia bag that has some leather on it. Plus I'd rather not have one with a logo, despite loving the Celine Triomphe. Now, onto the Sesia. Based on your recommendation this last spring to check the outlets for this bag, I was traveling in California last week and realized that there is an LP outlet near San Francisco, so I made a point of going there (very few LP outlets in the US). I figured the probability of seeing a Sesia in a size/color combo that I might actually want was low. I was shocked to see that they had several versions of it, including medium and large sizes in the classic colors of black and tan. I found myself ill-prepared to make a decision on whether I actually wanted to spend the money in that moment. I ended up passing because the price in USD and for a discontinued style, IMO, was still quite high. Nearly 4,000 USD for the large size. I am torn about my decision. On top of that, the LP sales associate who I initially contacted about Sesia in the spring just texted me with pictures of the new bag that is coming out in the fall (pseudo replacement for Sesia)... and it's called the Loom. It seems to me like they are trying to compete with the Birkin and the Margaux as it sort of falls in that category. I haven't sat with this for long, but think I still prefer the Sesia. Thanks for another excellent video 😘
Thank you. I’ve gone back to the Maison NH site a couple of times already. Loro Piana needs to stay in their lane and keep doing what they were doing so well. I liked the fact that their bags were different and really well made. They are now trying to fit in with everyone else, so annoying. I understand be patient and when the time is right you will find and buy your bag. I’m stalking the European outlets. I’m on the lookout for a medium navy Sesia- fingers crossed the universe has my back.
@@SoAnesu Well said, they should stay in their lane. Hopefully the quality of LP remains in tact. A medium navy Sesia would be beautiful! I think that your chances are better overall in Europe. It seems like there are quite a lot of these bags listed for sale on the secondhand market, but would take some careful due diligence to feel ok about a purchase. I am kind of torn between getting a medium and a large. A case could be made for either. I also saw a size medium in a rich burgundy in the SF outlet - it's gorgeous in the richer colors done in smooth leather.
@abbycatherine8135 I like the sound of burgundy but it has to be the textured leather for me. Smooth I’m very much of the opinion heritage leather or nothing else! 🤦🏾♀️
I recently discovered you through a friend who showed me one of your Joseph Duclos videos. Im a new subscriber. If possible, can you make a video on Ferragamo bags? Their leather is at a pristine quality and I notice that its a favorite among old money of Newport Rhode Island. Again thank you for making your videos ❤
Thank you. You are right Ferragamo is a fantastic brand Bianchi e Nardi 1946 | Ferragamo, Lanvin, Ralph Lauren, Schiaparelli, Thom Browne | Anesu Sagonda czcams.com/video/-5pj0AkisjQ/video.html
Another great watch ❤ , your content never fails to deliver 🙏😎 I've been searching to see if you have a video on skincare , another big passion of mine . I'm a firm believer that using the right products really can make a big difference . Over the years I've tried nearly everything on the market , from Clarins and Clinique , to the latest Korean brands . My holy grails are B21 cream from Orlane , and the Prestige line from Dior ( whose butter like dream cream in it's chunky weighty glass jar makes La Mers offering feel like a cheap Nivea in comparison 😂) I would love to hear your recommendations and experiences , I know everyone's requirements can vary , but I'm sure there must be some brands on your radar ?! 🙏❤💋
Thank you! No skincare as yet… I have unproblematic skin and therefore my regime is fairly simple dare I say basic! Thank you for the recommendations. I’ll take a look at them.
Another great video, love that you started with and recognised the OG source of these types of bags. Would love to know where to buy the bags you buy in Africa online? I see countless videos on this topic. 😊
What do you think about the brand Muun? I quite like their bags, many variety to choose from and the price looks on point. Its a brand that has great ethics. Winner to me hehe
I’ve seen the brand in passing in Liberty, I don’t know much about the brand. Winner to me says it all I hope you buy one of their bags and please keep us appraised.
Longchamp has a few models in Raffia; do you recommend them? I haven thinking about them because they are different and at the same they say “ Longchamp “ because of the horse. One point to them is the fact that the store is in downtown while the others are in France and I would like to feel them. Same reason why I haven’t bought a Dragon Diffusion bag. Cheers from Florence.
I think you have mentioned Bembien before, but I can’t remember. Those are also very interesting and beautiful basket bags. Not sure where they are woven.
What are your thoughts on Carolina Herrera bags in general? I have seen some beautiful styles online but can’t find much information on the quality. Thanks for the information that you provide!
In general I think they are well made using solid quality leather and hardware. The quality is there it’s just such a shame many people don’t realise it.
My personal opinion is that these “designer” basket bags are an awful ripoff!! I totally agree that there are so many beautiful ones from African countries. Many brands (such as Vanessa Bruno and Ibeliv) have there bags produced in Madagascar, but why pay for the brand name? I would not want a brand name plastered across anything that I wear! Massimo Dutti do reasonably priced ones and I carry my favourite one (bought a few years back) constantly! Local markets in Spain, France etc. sell great ones and it is really sad to flaunt a designer one!
I agree with you but the designer ones are typically heavily marketed and hey presto that’s what people buy! We need to be more demanding with our money.
Thanks!
🙏🏾 thank you I appreciate your kindness and generosity.

You are welcome.
LOVE Carolina Herrera. Excited you mentioned the brand.
Fab brand!
These bags are beautiful options for summer. I also like the Olivia Basket and the Mini 709 (in raffia and canvas) from Fregoli for smaller bags.
Thank you.

Brands not coming back to me on time 🥲

Hi Anesu, I would get those pretty twillies for the handles. Just bought some to save them. Lovely and feminine Btw the valextra bags are gorgeous! ❤
Good idea! I’ve always thought of twillies as fiddly but you have a point.
Another great video, love that you started with and recognised the OG source of these types of bags. Would love to know where to buy the bags you buy in Africa online? I see countless videos on this topic. 😊
Had to be done! Didn’t realise that’s possible let me investigate and I’ll let you know what I find.

I haven’t seen their raffia bags but I’ve never been disappointed by anything from Longchamp. Happy summer.
I think you have mentioned Bembien before, but I can’t remember. Those are also very interesting and beautiful basket bags. Not sure where they are woven.
Bembien wasn’t me. I don’t know the brand I’m afraid.
@@SoAnesu Got it. I think you would like them. They are NYC based, but I didn’t dig deep enough to see where their bags are produced.
Would love to hear more about Bembien as well. I think they’re made in Bali?
Love your review, can you review other Anya Hindmarch bags, that would be appreciated❤
Thank you I’ll see what I can do.
@@SoAnesu it's not relevant to your post but can I ask your opinion between Metier Incognito small cabas vs. Anya Hindmarch Seaton top handle?
Métier is a better brand all around and higher level of luxury I would never consider anything Anya over Métier.
I love your reviews, but I wonder: Have you ever done a review on Brahmin bags? They have a beautiful straw tote.
Thank you. I think Brahmin is an American brand which I unfortunately do not have access to in the United Kingdom.
Did you consider establishing your own bag brand?
No unfortunately I haven’t considered it. I’m not a creative person.
What are your thoughts on Carolina Herrera bags in general? I have seen some beautiful styles online but can’t find much information on the quality. Thanks for the information that you provide!
