The more I watch your videos, (yes I watch and rewatch multiple ones daily) the more I am sure that you are someone I need to work with for my personal branding. Loving your content !
Moynat Gabrielle and Réjane have the same quality with Hermès Birkin or Kelly, but less than half or the price. However, I have both B and K and I love every single minute when I carry a bag, it command more respects whenever I enter a luxury store I get a special treatments compare to when I just carry a Chanel bag which everyone seems to have them.
I love how much history and detail you pack for each brand! This is amazing work. I would love it if you covered men’s items and how these brands started to capture the menswear market as well in spite of having a core demographic based on the sale of women’s handbags.
Hi Anesu ;) GREAT AS ALWAYS My opinion about Chanel is the following and I would be interested, what you think about it: I think Chanel only belongs to the -super premium range- only because of the price. The bags are now just overpriced and the quality of the bags isn’t better than others. I think that Chanel has to compete with many others and the prices are kept increasing, because it says Chanel and Chanel knows, that they have designed the most classic bag in the world and they rest on this success, although at some point they will be less successful, when prices rise and quality deteriorates ;(
Thank you! I agree with everything you said. Chanel have built a brand consumers love and want to buy and hence prices keep going up but quality and craftsmanship are going down because they know consumers will keep wanting to buy Chanel regardless of the price. What to do? You find better brands for quality and craftsmanship and put your money there instead even if they are not well known because you are getting your money’s worth.
Hi, Anesu! I am your new subbie from Canada, enjoying your new installment and appreciating your knowledge on luxury goods. Loving your handbag hierarchy series. Loewe puzzle (small, sand/mink) is on my wishlist. That makes two of us! Many thanks!
I love your channel, it has amazing content. I hope that you get more subscribers. (Just a little note as a native French speaker: Goyard is pronounced 'go-yar', meaning that the letter d is silent. Moynat is pronounced 'mwa/moi-nah'.)
I love your channel and thank you for sharing all your knowledge on handbags! It is so interesting to hear the history and background of these designers and designer houses. Quick question- do you feel the Bottega pouch is a timeless bag or trendy? I want to buy bags that will never go out of style. Thank you!!
Thank you for watching! I definitely think the pouch will age at some point. I would give it 5 years max before it’s replaced by the next ‘it’ bag. But because of its popularity and massive success for Kering as a group - remember it’s their best selling bag of all their brands - and the fashion industry as a whole, it’s a style I could see coming back later like 15-20 years after it’s first moment. Fashion is cyclical and it will be an enduring bag in peaks and troughs not consistently all the time. Buying bags that don’t go out of fashion - It depends on whether you are after known brands or quality material and great craftsmanship but not as known. Known brands I’m not massively into, the ones under the radar yes and I’ll be featuring them individually and going into detail about their core / iconic bags. Do subscribe if that’s your thing.
@@SoAnesu thank you!! I never really thought the pouch was for me, but it’s been around for awhile and I feel myself getting “sucked” into the popularity of it and the hype, although it’s been here for awhile. So I was a bit conflicted. I have a very modest bag collection and am very careful when I purchase. A couple of Celines and LV but not the popular ones. A few Dior’s (lady, open bar bag and diorissimo tote). So I try to stick with classics. I truly want the Celine box bag. My only LV is the Sophia Coppola bag in burgundy and I never hear anything about that bag anymore, but I love it. My Birkin that I have had for 15 years now and will never part with. Thank you for your advice!! And I subscribed and can’t wait for more content from you!
Noooo stay true to yourself and don’t give into the hype it will pass! Classics are definitely the way to go. That makes two of us with regards to the Céline Box bag by hook or by crook I am going to buy that bag one day soon. Wow you have had your birkin for 15 years it must look amazing! Enjoy her in good health. We are very similar a well thought out collection of bags you get a lot of pleasure from and to wear forever.
I forgot to add earlier if you really want something from Bottega go with their small signature intreciato weave think the cabat or Sloane bag shape ( there are a couple of similar but original style bags). Those will never age and the perfect representation of the original Bottega Veneta.
Hi, I found you by chance while I was looking at some Delvaux reviews and really enjoy you talking about luxury items! Your perspective is fresh and sound! :) Have you come across of Serapian? It’s an Italian brand also, using the same technique as bottega, but they are an older company. (So would basically consider them the original)
Ooh wow thank you that’s kind of you to say. Yes I know Serapian fairly well but there isn’t a lot of their stuff in London I’m waiting to go to Italy later this year then I’ll talk about the brand thereafter.
I am your new subscriber and glad to be here. I am about to purchase one of these bags, except the Chanel, because I own it. For an everyday summer crossbody, which one do you recommend? I like something not too big or too small. I am only 5'5" tall. The minis or nano are not preferred. Thank you very much.
Welcome onboard! Summer crossbody from the brands I’ve mentioned the Loulou from Moynat comes in one size not if that’s going to be too small? Delvaux Brilliant on the pricier side. Valextra a fab Italian brand worth considering two styles iside and twist crossbody. Bottega Veneta crossbody in the classic intreciato?
Great video. Question - in terms of a quality comparison, how would you stake the quality of Dior against Delvaux? Do you think both the Lady Dior and the Brillant are lifetime bags? I’ve been very focused on cultivating a bag collection that is small but includes lifetime pieces, and as a lover of both, I’m curious if you have any thoughts on this. Thank you, kindly.
@@SoAnesu Because they have the history and cache of most of the luxury houses. Goyard and FLP are often discussed together. I guess I found it odd you included a brand like Bally but failed to include FLP.
For a start there are loads of brands to choose from and what’s important for me is the slightly more low key under the radar, quality brands therefore the brands everyone talks about don’t always apply to my channel. Faure le page have limited distribution and availability in London like every where for example I’ll talk about them in the tote video in a few weeks after I’ve been to Paris and seen more of the brand. Please stay tuned.
The more I watch your videos, (yes I watch and rewatch multiple ones daily) the more I am sure that you are someone I need to work with for my personal branding. Loving your content !

Goes to show luxury us not about the cost but the value it brings to you! Long may you continue to enjoy your bags!

Aww thank you for subscribing I’m glad you are enjoying it. The Loewe puzzle is life! Literally.
Thank you very much for your videos. Will you speak about Aspinal of London? I’m curious about that brand’s quality and longevity.
Your are welcome. I’ll be talking about Aspinal of London soon. I have had a lot of requests.
Goyard bags are sold at Bergdorf Goodman in NYC.
I love your channel, it has amazing content. I hope that you get more subscribers.
(Just a little note as a native French speaker:
Goyard is pronounced 'go-yar', meaning that the letter d is silent.
Moynat is pronounced 'mwa/moi-nah'.)
Thank you that’s very kind and generous of you to say.
Merci kikila ri. A question for you: how to pronounce Saint Laurent? My guess is “San Lora’ “ with a very soft “n”
Silent ‘n’ and ‘t’

@@SoAnesu I agree! Whenever I see someone with Bottega Sloan bag I always think “wow, so classic”! And don’t see many of them anymore.
Fantastic! I would suggest that Delvaux is on par with Hermes/Moynat. They also have 1 artisan make each bag.
Thank you. On par in what sense?
Hi, I found you by chance while I was looking at some Delvaux reviews and really enjoy you talking about luxury items! Your perspective is fresh and sound! :)

Hello! Hope you are well.
Are you a journalist by trade? You talk just like the reporters and anchors at my job
No. My memory is one of my strengths.
@@SoAnesu it's really your gestures and pacing that sound very news-like! you're a natural reporter
Hear, hear thank you!
I am your new subscriber and glad to be here. I am about to purchase one of these bags, except the Chanel, because I own it. For an everyday summer crossbody, which one do you recommend?

Welcome onboard!
Summer crossbody from the brands I’ve mentioned the Loulou from Moynat comes in one size not if that’s going to be too small?
Delvaux Brilliant on the pricier side.
Valextra a fab Italian brand worth considering two styles iside and twist crossbody.
Bottega Veneta crossbody in the classic intreciato?
Love this.
Is this where Moreau would fall? It's a brand that still hand makes their pieces, if I'm not mistaken?
Thank you. No Moreau is premium core bags priced between £1,500 and £3,000.
They are partially handmade.
@@SoAnesu oh, okay, thank you.
Great video. Question - in terms of a quality comparison, how would you stake the quality of Dior against Delvaux? Do you think both the Lady Dior and the Brillant are lifetime bags? I’ve been very focused on cultivating a bag collection that is small but includes lifetime pieces, and as a lover of both, I’m curious if you have any thoughts on this. Thank you, kindly.
Thank you. Good question I’m currently working on content where I’ll be looking at both. Please stay tuned video will be out later this month.
@@SoAnesu Excellent. I look forward to it! I’m a big fan of your content.
What are your thoughts on Goyard as of March 2024?
I don’t know how they have survived this long without an e-commerce facility.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention Fauve Le Page. Or did I miss that?
Why are you surprised?
@@SoAnesu Because they have the history and cache of most of the luxury houses. Goyard and FLP are often discussed together. I guess I found it odd you included a brand like Bally but failed to include FLP.
For a start there are loads of brands to choose from and what’s important for me is the slightly more low key under the radar, quality brands therefore the brands everyone talks about don’t always apply to my channel. Faure le page have limited distribution and availability in London like every where for example I’ll talk about them in the tote video in a few weeks after I’ve been to Paris and seen more of the brand. Please stay tuned.
I'm surprised not to see Hermes on this list, any particular reason?
It’s not super premium in the context of the hierarchy of handbag series but ultra high end czcams.com/video/oINptoW6LHg/video.html
@@SoAnesu Yes, I sort of wondered after I made the comment whether they'd have a little mini-section of their own.
Curious why Hermes is not on this list.
It’s the next level up.
Where does Launer sit in the hierarchy of handbag brands
Premium core
What do you think of Darby Scott bags?
No opinion I’m afraid I am not familiar with them.
Hello from an Italian. It's pronounced VEN eta. The accent is on the first syllable.
I thought that is what I’m saying.
@@SoAnesu lol you are 😊
Thank you. I was trying to nail that down. You hear lots of pronunciations here in U.S., mostly VeNETa.
I have heard a few variations whilst watching US videos. It adds flavour to the bags!
I don't like Bottega
Okay…
It high over rated.
