I will say, as someone who wears Kelly 32s as a daily bag in a relatively care-free way, I recently purchased a simple nylon shoulder bag and less expensive totes, and there is a very freeing when using something that isn't precious. So much mental energy is freed, and I didn't even think I was paying attention to it before. A similar thing happened when I started using my casio watch versus some of my nicer timepieces. There's a freedom in being able to do anything at any time, in any rough and tumble way that you want to, that's very liberating. You just get to live as you are, as it comes, and I have a deeper appreciation for that nowadays.
exactly!!! it is liberating to not have to worry about your things at all! Thanks for your comment ❤
I don't put any of my bags on the floor. I care about all of them. Whether they were $250 or $3000 😊
hahah love that!
I have exactly the same feeling. I just accept that some of my bags serve me and then there are some that I serve😅 I think this is the perfect balance😂😂
AHHAHAH 100% me too
Jess, you are a DEEP THINKER! I love it! Many of us have thought this, but you have the courage to say it!
🥰🥰😍
I have a lovely designer bag collection, but also some Coach bags, Kate Spade, Lou lou lemon etc. I just take an appropriate bag for the occasion. I think a collection with some high end and a few day to day types works best, for me at least. Great video. ❤️
thanks Wendy!
I love how thoughtful you are about these topics! My theory is this: 1) live below your means, and 2) be ok with having the bag for the rest of your life (no resell). If these two conditions are met then I believe one can be carefree even with expensive designer bags. What do you think?
good advise!
I felt the exact same way Jess about my bags especially the Herme's Chanel and LV bags I worked and save to get. I put that Kelly and Chanel classic flap in a bubble afraid to use them, 2017 I suffer a stroke ( 100% recovered all praise and glory to God) After that medical situation my outlook changed about everything, I told myself its just expensive or inexpensive materialistic stuff, Jess we only go around once in life smell the roses and blow out the candle babe, enjoy those pieces you have collect, get your cost per wear so if you decide to sell maybe you want feel such great financial lost.
You are right!!! Thank goodness you recovered!! Life is precious we should really just enjoy ourself 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 sending lots of love
I honestly just use my bags without worrying too much. I don’t really sell my bags and they cost so much, that to me, they are to be used. If my Birkin ends up on the floor, so be it! I don’t know I have 3 kids that I had to watch and take really good care of, I definitely don’t want to worry about an inanimate object! My joy is to use my bags and not to buy them. I don’t even really own cheap bags at this point, I always wear a designer one. I think I’m just in a phase where I want to enjoy!
When I was in Japan in october last year- all the young girls wore these things on their bags. Very cute. I’m 54 so I won’t be wearing furries on my bag.
"i dont want to chuck this in the dirt" fair enough 🤣🤣🤣🤣
hehe
Oh and about the Olsens and their bags. For us it’s a lot of money, for them it’s like buying a 50 dollar bag
Lol .. don't give up... just get a lesser expensive one just for those occasions. Your bags are beautiful 💙💙
hehe good idea!
My collection is mainly contemporary luxury (Coach/Kate Spade/MK/Marc Jacobs) with a few LVs mixed in as well. No matter the price, I will not be putting them on the floor or throwing them in the dirt haha. Recently I had to take a flight to a conference for work and I wanted to wear a mini The Tote Bag as my bag during the confence, but didn't have the heart to put under the seat of an airplane. Instead I packed it into my suitcase and took a mini Jansport backpack on the flight because it's easy to throw it in the wash. There is no problem with looking after your bags and wanting the best for them. Maybe just try to incorporate a few throw around pieces into your collection.
Selling half of my collection and using my disney bags more ❤
ooo cute!!
I’m not quite in the Olsen’s tax bracket so my attitude towards my bags depends on if I can afford to replace the bag like-for-like. If it’s a particularly pricey one or a limited edition then I’m way more guarded with it to the point where I will only use it if I know exactly how the day/evening will unfold. That’s why I love my Longchamps and lower priced Loewe pocket and basket bag. A Chanel classic flap would terrify me (even though I’d still love a tweed one). A resale price never enters my head.
Pretty sure if you have always loved beautiful bags, you always will. ❤
I love my designer bags. But I feel you when sometimes you need a cheaper bag to just chill with.
I currently have a Thomas Burberry bear hanging from my LV neverfull. When you were talking about, I was like- “but he’s so cute!” 🤣
It is so true. We do evolve and change but I think for the moment, we do have to enjoy what we work hard for. That said, I do take care of my bags where I can. On Mother’s Day, it was pouring rain after church and I was wearing a blazer. So I tucked my purse in and ran like if I was in a marathon. Ruined my flats because it was ponding. 🥿 ⛈️Either that or have a bucket of water since my bag is an open tote. 🪣 lol. Enjoy! 😉
I'ver always had nice bags even in my twenties. Now I did have other bags like PVC bags as well. I had my Dooney and Coach which was my nicer bags when I was in my twenties. No LV until I got my first one when I was 34 years old. I've always took care of them.
My bags have to survive floors and tables, i also love bag charms
I love that you are being more mindful with your handbag purchases!
I have to confess that I still haven’t bought my iCare yet and it’s because I secretly want to splurge more and just use a ridiculously expensive bag as a gym bag. I used to love seeing MK and Ashley be so carefree (and careless) with their Birkin. I want to experience that 😅
You look so lovely ❤
haha true!!! there is something very refreshing about the way marykate wears her bags!!
I love the Plume style. Ive bought two off brands in that style. One tan leather and black swade. Just bought pre loved to see if Id like. Well I love them. With and without charms. 😊
The good thing about Hermes is you can replace the hw and spa them. It’s always hard to remove the protective plastic when I get a new bag but my hubby reminds me they can always be replaced. Now I’m enjoying my bags protective plastic free lol I hope you can enjoy your bags too without worry 😊
That’s true!! Hermes do have a spa
jess 💯 agree with you that having 30 bags may not add that much more value to your wardrobe than say 10 bags. my optimum number hovers around 15 bags. it’s tough to curate but i think, a worthwhile endeavor!!
I love ur bag collection Jess. For me it’s about lifestyle and it’s come down to what I would really wear on a “daily basis” the date night dressy bags I just can’t do anymore lol 😂 so I’ve realized! I hate NOT being able to use them. I do however want at least 1 date night bag, the rest will be everyday practical bags. Thank u for sharing your thoughts.
I think thats the biggest factor in whether or not we baby our bags if there's conscience in the back of our mind saying that we might sell them in the future. I don't have the funds for a collection and Aus always gets the crappy end of the stick by being so expensive compared to other countries! I always have to thoroughly think about each piece I buy because it will be a bag I keep with the mindset of being a "ride it till it dies" without any intention of reselling. I'm happy with the few pieces I have so far because of my mum-life which means it needs to be very functional whether it be a small bag or else it needs to hold a lot. Maybe you can take that kind of approach with some of your bags instead of all of them because that would be impossible (since you have such a fun collection!), that might take the stress off babying all of your bags.
indeed!! I suppose I am worried I will get over bags and want to sell everything!! It has happened to me in the past with other items I have collected and then got over. Thanks for your help ❤❤
A bit of philosophy today! You know, one thing I like about vintage Coach is that I could fully submerge it in water if it got really dirty (known as “dunking” in the vintage Coach world)…and it would be OK.
You’ve hit on the exact reason that i can’t pay more than a couple thousand on a bag! Worrying about them saps my joy❤
Totally agree!
I recently discovered baggu bags and have been hooked! My boyfriend is super casual and active and so I think my style is transitioning to be more athleisure. I was so tired of being afraid of getting super sweaty with my designer bags while we go hiking, to the gym, etc (our date days usually include the gym hahah) so it’s been soooo freeing to wear my baggu! But now I think I’m obsessed and I’m wanting to collect a lot of them lol luckily they’re relatively cheap (compared to designer) 😅
Jess, Everything you are saying here I have said to myself. Hermes is here to stay for me, but recently, I came across a Balenciaga XS Le Cagole denim bucket bag with crystals that I fell in love with & now use frequently. I don't have to "worry" about it as much, if at all, which I absolutely am loving. I put my Rose Mexico Rodeo on it which is probably sacrilegious, but love it anyway. As you said, when you were younger, you had bags that were just fun & carefree, so I think it is perfect to have a few bags that aren't as high maintenance to enjoy as well, like your SPY bag, so cool!!! I also loved one of your lastest videos about denim bags possibly having a resurgence, it made my feel good about my recent denim Balenciaga Le Cagole!!!
Ooo congrats!!! Sounds like a fab bag!! And yes to the rose Mexico rodeo😍
I care for my bags regardless of their value. It irks to hold a ‘flawed’ bag. Deep hardware scratches/oxidations or certain dents or markings on the leather really frustrates me. I carry portable shopping bags in most of my handbags to protect them from rain. And I do not place my handbags on the floor since they would be on my body later. That said, I cannot understand the trend of overly protecting the bags as this really removes the joy of carrying nice bags. Agree that one needs a right number of bags to enjoy each bag and its purpose fully 😊.
yes!! i cary small bags in my bags in case it rains too!!
I am with you! I always think of where am I going? Am I gonna have a place to put my bag down that is not on the floor. Then I usually carry a coach bag.
Preloved bags from other brands are good for this as they’re usually cheaper and often already have a bit of wear on them already. I do still baby them (even the contemporary ones) as Im just that way inclined but not as much as it I’d brought them new. Preloved, fendi, prada & dior are great for these reasons even if you end up selling them the loss wont ever be too much
I wear some I don't worry about but then some I baby because they are my babies ❤️
I hear you with the concern about whether i’ll be into the same bags in 10 years.. I know for a fact my preferences and style will change. that’s why I started to force myself to use my bags ASAP. I tend to change my preferences every 2 years or so - color, bag style (crossbody, shoulder bag, top handle, etc), even designer. 😬
it’s a little stressful but it helps knowing it now at least!
Its nice to have some designer bags but its also nice to have some colorful fun carefree bags get the best of both worlds plus in this economy there are times places where wearing nice bags could be dangerous
The little charms stuff is very 2000s, I don’t understand the fashion industry’s obsession with the 2000s. We used to decorate our brick Nokia phones with little charms😅
true!!! it is very y2k
Fendi bag bugs are really cute
love them!
That’s why I don’t buy high luxury bags! I appreciate them from afar, but owning one would be too stressful.
Use your bags girls! They where made for beeing used. And of you worth all the time going out with it- i think thr whole purpose with it. Keep Done on this piedestal and have them as art But do use the rest. You are Young and you Will change fashion ideal over the year. Be sure for that
Hi Jessie. I’m feeling same as you. I’m living in New York. I try not to carry Hermes or Chanel bags anymore when I go to the city. I bought some mid range brands and they’re my city bags.
indeed!! need a few mid range bags for certain times!!
Generally, I don’t like being attached to things. I like things and enjoy them but I don’t think that’s the same as attachment.
❤
I stopped buying bags because I literally have no space in my closet for more, and I learned to appreciate that, enjoy the ones I have. Even when I had cheap bags I never put them on the floor, I have a superstition that putting bags on the floor is bad luck so I never did, now I have a hook with me everywhere I go in case I'll need to hang the bag.
I like using my designer bags, but I also have mid range brands like Senrev. If it's a rainy day and I don't want to use my other bags, I use my Senrev.
I'm also going to look for a new job this summer and I don't want to take my bags to the new workplace intil I'll know what's the vibe is towards designer bags. I am saving for a Kelly, and I'm looking to buy a DeMillier bag for work, but for now, that's it, I just don't think I need another designer bag at this point in my life.
I think it's important to have 1 or 2 none designer bags just in case you'll need them.
We work hard and save for these bags and we need to use them and enjoy them, I'm noy saying trash them completely but use them and love them, I don't think about the resale value, I buy them because I love them and they bring me joy to carry them
IMO The reason when we worry about a luxury item we own it comes down to 1 core thing. If we lose it / damage it -the item is hard or impossible to replace. That means to own the item was likely a large investment financially and you do not want that investment to go to waste.
Even if the item was made of nylon, if it costs thousands there is still a lack of carefree abandon. It just means its less likely to be damaged with use.
I think the question becomes - when something is so expensive that you cant afford to replace it without major saving/effort, how do you enjoy the item appropriately for you without risking major damage or loss…. My 2 cents
Enjoying bags - wonderful; yes, put twillies, charms on them (fun!) Mostly, try to wear crossbody (protected). Sometimes, have to pick up something & swing it on my back . . & that's when it gets clobbered. Makes me crazy & the woman says 'sorry' hit your bag - then smirks. Oh barbarian (again, happened this week)! Have to get over it! Still Love the Bags! 🥰🛍 -L.
AHHAHAH yes!! It's always someone else that scrapes against my bag!! lol
I think less expensive but good quality bags allow us to really enjoy using the bags and nit having to worry about being cool or fashionable or stylish enough to get away with carrying the bag. Just enjoying the bag and the moment
You make great point of saying you can only use one bag at a time anyway. So true. I have watched two people in particular unbox. There are SO many bags in their collections, I don't get how they aren't just over it. It seems like there are never enough. True, it's their money, etc. etc....but gee-gads. Enough already. What is left to bring some joy into their lives. 100 bags? Not 30. Not 10. 🙈🙉🙊
omg which tv show?
the project!!!🤩
Did everyone discount the fact that Jane Birkin could trash her Birkin because another FREE one is just around the corner?
True!!!
I’d rather have mid range brands without having to worry a drink spills on them on where to put it.
indeed!
I'm very careful with my bags ❤😊
Try barenia leather.
I sick of the same thing. Giving myself winter 🥶 before. I buy another bag 💼. I think 🤔 I brought about six bags 💼 back to back. eBay and mercari 😢😮. After mom passed seems. That all have been doing. Talking to counselor. Has help. But not stop 🛑 me from buying bags. 💼
I buy a dupe ...no worry ha ha
Maybe have a few less expensive but interesting bags for times when you don’t feel like babying a bag, and the expensive bags for when you want that?
hehe yes!! longchamp is great for that!
Hm...i try not to buy anything with the intent of selling it off in the future. i mean i don't toss my expensive stuff around and trash them eithe, but i don't baby it. i have no intention of making money from it, so may as well use it.
Jessie, I think you just need to commit to 1-3 lifetime bags, like a marriage lol. and truly enjoy those specific ones. If you end up selling them in the future well itll be what itll be. but thats what I would do.
I'm starting to think the same Holly!!
Someone dropped red wine on my Louis Vuitton lockme bb bag. I almost cried ( actually I did cry 😩)it did stain 😭😭😭😭
Aw no!!!! It can happen!! Now I guess you can wear it fuss free!
Second
