What's the most money you've ever spent on a handbag? Was it worth it?
@Stephanie B totally! More expensive doesn't always mean great quality.
Toooo much 😖! Love the purse and use it a lot...but price was truly ridiculous. Had to do it once. There are beautiful quality purses out there for a fraction of the cost.
$1,145 ... and I never received the bag. Prior to that... $380 from Tory Burch.
Never again will I purchase from a reseller. So dumb on my part.
@@StephanieGrace19 😱😱😱 Oh noooo... Oh man was that on a reputable site or a random one?

Would love an update on your bag! My mom had a really negative experience with her Teddy Blake bag, which was almost $500. Beautiful at first but proved to be no better than something you’d get for $29.99 at TJ Maxx (broken zipper pull, tarnished hardware, etc). Such a shame.
Good video. My wife just got the TB Kim bag, and I assessed her along with your video. We paid about $500.00 for her bag at something around 45% off. Her bag has no visible quality issues, it looks great
I'm amazed at your honest review for a !!GIFTED!! item. You even doubt if the leather is genuine. I've never seen any of my trusted youtubers to say at least one negative thing about sponsored items, and when I go searching for reviews from regular shoppers for exactly same pieces, there are many bleak experiences (*cough*lilysilk*cough*... among many others...). I love honesty. Subscribed!
Oh interesting! I've partnered with Lilysilk and I genuinely love their stuff, I would love to partner with them again if they asked.
If I don't like a product, I prefer to not say anything at all, but sometimes you can't do that depending on the contract. 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you for such an honest review 🧡 Great video!
Way too excited for this YAY!!! I know it’ll be good because your whole wardrobe is my goals 😍😭 also you look so fresh and GLOWING!! ✨✨
Aww thanks Cristina! 🥰
Thank you for your honest review. I actually learned a lot from you.
Such good content! Welcome back! After years of chasing the “perfect” bag I finally gave up and just carry a $15 Uniqlo backpack that I can toss in the washing machine when it gets grubby.
Hi Anaid!! Nice to see you! I love that your bag is machine washable! I wish everything could be cleaned in the machine, that would make our lives so much easier!
Wonderful video! Very clear, in-depth, and helpful. The part at 9:38 was hilarious! Also, really appreciate the time stamps. My mom loves bags, so I'm definitely sending this video to her.
Oh wonderful! Thank you so much for your sweet comment, I'm so glad it helped. And I'm glad I made you laugh!
Thanks for the video. Have you done a video about caring for your bags and cleaning the lining when needed?
I have not! I should! I need to do some research.
Hi love, any updates on the wear and tear of the bag so far?
Beautifully explained
Oh what a beautiful bag ..... I just love the colour 👍🏻☘️
It really is beautiful in person. It's a great pop of color without taking the attention from the whole outfit.
Really enjoyed this informative video - thank you! Definitely wanted you to put a flame against the bag for the test. Haha! 😊
I should have!!! heheh
A few years ago I read a article like this one so when I go shopping I always check the quality. I’m cheap lol but I found two handbags at Target for $40 they are good quality although not leather. They are beautiful pieces. I also have a used Dooney & Bourke my daughter gave me and I love this purse. (She paid over $500) That’s a trip to Florida for me.😀
Thank you Fernanda. Could you do this with a brand you think are worth the money? I can't believe the zipper pulls were plastic.
Hi I'm new to your channel I just purchased Teddy Blake bag today
Got the same bag... in fuchsia croc, lined in suede. It. Is. SUMPTUOUS! I also have a pebble leather 11" Kim in coming, in mint. It pictures, it looks like aqua (my fav color), so I hope aqua is what I get.
I love the color and am interested if the bag is worth it...look forward to the next video. 🤗😍🤗
It's held up so far, but I have to admit I've used it less than I thought I did. For me, it's a little too big!
Great video and information! I'm considering a Teddy Blake bag. I hope they would take that bag back and have it restitched or give you a new one. Even if/especially if it was gifted! I wouldn't feel good about carrying the bag and would feel it wasn't worth my money. Great review and lessons!
New subbie from Singapore here! Thanks fr the detailed reviews there, it certainly help alot.
Greetings from Singapore 🇸🇬! And yes ure soo gorgeous like Anne Heatherway!
Welcome!! Singapore, wow! I've always wanted to visit!
Updated comment: i received mine in nude pink, thankfully mine has no loose stitches at all and everything looks perfect. Guess teddy blake started really checking their bags. Its gorgeous, but i also have a YSL sunset in mock crock coming today that i paid substantially more for 2500 can't wait to compare them.
I'm so glad to hear that! Enjoy it!
Yes, but plastic hardware on the strap....😮😮😮
I get that the hardware having the name is a good sign for quality but I don’t like advertising for free for any brand.
Can you tell me how to clean the liner of the bag?
So excited to hear you are posting more capsule wardrobe content soon x
I just finished the edit! I hope you like it. I have another one in the next month as well.
Hi Fernanda, can you give us an update on your Teddy Blake bags? Is it holding up and meeting your expectations? I'm thinking of buying an Ava but am nervous about spending the $$$$$. Are TB bags worth it????
I have used it very little since I received it, but I'm anticipating using it more now that it's Fall, so I'll know better how it holds up in a few months. I can't say with certainty if the brand has a quality issue, or if I just got a bad batch (the brand said this was the case) because I don't own any other TB bags. Sorry I can't be more helpful!
love this video and I want this bag....But is their quality issue?
The brand told me after the video came out that it seems like I got an item with a one-off issue, so I can't say with certainty.
Tbank you for letting us know about the plastic hardware! Im never going to buy this....
I was definitely considering buying one of their bags but now I’m not sure
:/ sorry about that. This is an old video, worth considering them now!
@@vazq_FernandaWhat chaged about them now?..Is the hardware on the strap made of metal? I like the bav so much but Id better to pay thousands for real brended beg with metal hardware than cheap plastic...
I Want to buy Brand new than second hand bag..
GIIIIRRRLL I took a lighter to my leather Coach tote and it didn't catch fire, but it left it black LOL I almost cried!!! Other than this idea, I loved the video!!
Nooooo!!! Oy vey... you can clean it with a soft cloth and good quality leather soap and conditioner. Don't get it too wet or it can ruin the leather. If you're not comfortable doing it yourself, take it to a professional! Or the Coach store may be able to help you as well!
Thank you! I ordered an 11in teddy blake croc in pink, for 449$ and its my 1st high end authentic bag. All of my other bags are Micheal kors, which... eh they are good but never, ever get one that has the metallic finish. It peels. It's awful when you spend 359 on a MK and its peels... l
Ahhhh good tip!! Thank you!!
How is your bag holding up now? Ive seen many reviews where they send the you tubers the better bags and many other people get defective bags.
Don’t forget to check out the zippers!! This is useful for any & everything with a zipper. Does it open & close easily? If it’s catching, it’s cheaply made. This means it’ll be annoying to use (😋), & it’ll break easily.
Hi Fernanda, this is a very informative video👍🔍 Thanks for sharing. I am now your new YT sister subbie. Would LOVE to watch more of your contents. Take care new sister 😘😍🤗
Thank you! Welcome! I'm so glad you joined us!
Update please!
Let me use it a little more, I haven't even had it for a year!
Beautiful bag! Love that style. Very classic! I considered purchasing it... but decided I really don’t “need” another bag right now, so will hold off.
Hahahah I know that feeling! I like the 9" version a little bit better, I think the size is more practical!
They ALWAYS have sale, so their “sale” price is their actual price… and not a sale…
❤❤❤
Update after a year would be great 👍🏽
I'll wear it more this fall/winter and see how it wears!
can you update the status of this bag ,please ?!
It's fine, but I have to admit that I rarely use it. I think I've used it maybe 10-15x in the last year.
@@vazq_Fernanda thanks for your reviews .It's really useful
Now that it’s been a year that you posted this video, could you please review this Teddy Blake bag again ?
Yes! I hope Teddy Blake took the bag back and restitched it or sent her a new bag! I'd be so bummed about that stitching (but love the bag!)
I like a bag even its expensive I bought Teddy Blake today .
Let me know what you think when it arrives! No question that the bag is beautiful!
@@vazq_Fernanda ok I will
The most I've spent is $300. I like buying from smaller makers because the quality tends to be higher for less. A lot of time with designer bags you're mostly paying for the brand. Sometimes you can even get custom work if your lucky. I got my last bag from a russian brand out of St Petersburg called Two ta. Their bags are so beautiful, affordable and the style is perfect for me, really modern and minimalist. They agreed to make my bag in a special color for me and it was an amazing experience. Their bags are all real leather and solid harware, and look brand new for a very long time.
@Jessica Cox Oooh that sounds amazing!! I would definitely pay big money for that if I got exactly what I wanted. I've never seen something like that here! What color did you ask them for?
@@vazq_Fernanda Camel! It was something I had decided on as a must for my main bag. The bag I liked the most didn't come in that color. I took a chance to ask, glad I did. They now offer it in camel I noticed :) I actually bought it online. If you're comfortable ordering from overseas all kind of opportunities can open up!
@@jessicacox2005 Nice! I love that you ask, I forget that that is something you can do sometimes. Thanks for the tip! I'll check them out!
@Jesssica Cox wow these bags are beyond gorgeous will be check them out!
It's crocodile embossed. You can burn the end of the loose thread and it should stop fraying. I have worked in several high end stores. The higher the price the pelts will match. The snout of the croc if on there sets the tone. I think the bag is way overpriced!!!¡ love the design and size and color(done well) can wear off in time. Careful not to get scratches. Still love my skinned bags. Buy a good one at a great price. Good luck!
Burn it 🔥, burn it 🔥! 😂
😂😂😂
😘😘❤❤
💚💚💚 Green Hearts for a Green Bag!
It has a plastic finish so might catch fire
Why so beautiful...???
Why is the bag so beautiful??
I have cheaper handbags with better quality 🧐 2nd hand is always a good idea. I would max. spend 250 euros for a handbag, but it must be real leather and a great quality
I know, I think expensive doesn't necessarily mean high quality! I think I would spend a little bit more if I knew it had a really good resell value, the same way I would with jewelry.
I honestly can’t believe people pay that much for bags. I love a high-quality bag and I owned about six or seven real leather high-quality bags that not a single one of them cost more than $150 and I’ve had them for almost 6 or seven years now and all of them look brand new still even though I use song. If you’re paying more than that you are literally just paying for the name which I think personally is absolutely ridiculous.But to each his his own I guess......🤷🏻♀️
Way too excited for this YAY!!! I know it’ll be good because your whole wardrobe is my goals 😍😭 also you look so fresh and GLOWING!! 😍😍
Thank you! Do you follow Dr. Shereene Idriss here on CZcams? She is an amazing dermatologist, I've been following her recommendations and I have to say it's made a big difference on my skin! Highly recommend her channel!
