Designer Bags Are OVER! *THESE* Are The New Luxury!

That kind of money for a canvas material bag is absolutely insane

Truly handmade, bespoke, unique and rare handbags are going to be the next wave. People are going to reject luxury hard soon.

I’m over luxury bags. I’ve had Coach bags for years that have stood the test of time and I don’t have to baby them or worry I’m going to be robbed. Would rather spend my money on experiences nowadays.

What’s over is Gen Z & Millennials can’t afford anything.

I’m over it myself. I have so many bags and I’m just done. I don’t care what the “it” bag is anymore. I have bags that cost a ridiculous amount of money and I’m going to use them. I don’t care if it’s considered “out of style”. It’s all about marketing.

I give you all advice. Go to Italy and do your shopping there with unknown/small/local brands. You will buy the most amazing shoes, leather goods, clothes ... You get really great quality for the money and great customer service. This has been my experience for many years. You will not regret.

We've just grown tired of yearly price increases while seeing quality go down. Add on to that the whole sweatshop controversy and its been an easy choice to look elsewhere at more affordable brands. Coach has really been killing it with their offerings as of late like you stated. Also want to add I only will buy lab grown diamonds going forward.

OMG, this just goes in circles. this happened in the 70s and in the 90s and now again. Designer exhaustion, or really, market saturation. Fashion goes in cycles.

I actually only own two designer bags, and I think because I'm older, I want to spend my money on other things, like travel. I also find a lot of the styles of designer bags to be kind of boring, and dare I say it, old fashioned. And now we know they are so not worth the money! Great video, thanks, Sophie. Your lip gloss is really pretty!

Had a milestone birthday this year. Was going to splurge on a Chanel bag. Didn’t and instead purchased a DeMellier and Strathberry for a tenth of the price and am loving them.

I love coach. It’s nice and sleek and doesn’t scream wasteful with money but doesn’t scream I have a lot of money either. Like an acceptable brand name that’s a staple vs a statement

Don't forget that Dior is a part of LVMH. I am sure you will find these problems in all the brands of this company.

I own many luxury bags and I’m not planning to sell any, but I’m also not planning to buy more. It’s time to move on I feel and just enjoy what I have. The whole negative aura around it put me off honestly.

I'll be honest, I just can't afford thousands for a bag no matter how gorgeous they are. I can truly say that every Coach, Dooney, Kate Spade and Patricia Nash bag I have are solid. Beautiful leather, top-notch hardware, amazing craftsmanship in the crisp clean silhouettes and sizes that I love. Worth every dollar I've spent on them and have lasted for YEARS in perfect condition 🤷‍♀️

I spend my extra money on animals in need. I find so much more fulfillment in helping to fund local rescues for dogs, cats, etc. This is where I want my money to go.

I can almost forgive H&M and Primark having their stuff made in sweatshops. At least they are trying to save their customers money. But the idea of a luxury brand exploiting people and then selling a bag for 6000 £ is just SOO disgusting and greedy! I've never wanted to spend thousands for a bag that should cost a couple of hundreds, but if anything could make me want them less, it is this

Unfortunately the experience the person had in a store in Bond St isn't unusual. It's being an issue for years. Being treated like a piece of dirt by SAs or followed around stores by a security guard right behind you the entire time you are there is pretty standard in high end stores. Even brands like chanel and dior are really bad for this. So many sales assistants seem to believe someone cannot afford to shop there if they don't look glam head to toe. Judging someone's financial situation based on what the customer is wearing is a great way to loose customers.

Dior was supposed to be haute couture. It bring to question the quality of their brand and if they have that same quality throughout. If they sell the quality pieces made by artisans and their apprentices to people with influence and sell these sweat shop made bags to the rest. Then we need to question if the ateliers they demonstrate to the public is for show and these sweatshops make most if not all their products.

I am over with luxury bags.

It's amazing to me that Chanel seemingly got away with what they did year or two ago. A factory in France was found to have terrible conditions for workers - cold, not allowed to use the restroom without permission etc. But people seem to have forgotten that already. I love The Row. The designs, while simple, are such a joy to use and the leather is amazing. If you get away from the Margaux and look at the other designs you will see what I mean.
