Items mentioned include Hermes, Chanel, Dior, Cartier, Prada, Louis Vuitton and Van Cleef Arpels.

I laughed out loud at the neverfull ebay story. And I must say you are so kind to give your real neverfull to the viewer who had her bag stolen!! You are one of a kind!
I think it's good to say out loud, just because you like an item doesn't mean you have to buy it! It helps us be smarter consumers. I love the crystal bag trend and found a great Topshop one for about $30 USD. I wore it to an event at Neiman Marcus and a couple of salespeople complimented me on it, so I think it was giving off the designer vibe for pennies on the dollar!
Love that!!!!
I agree with you. I have cult gaia bags that were under 300 dollars and I ALWAYS have SAs and people in general asking where they're from. I think it's because they're really unique and no one else seems to have them.
@@MMLakhani89 oh yes, Cult Gaia's designs are so beautiful and special!
I would never worry about a “dated” bag because I look at bags like I do cars. Yes, they no longer make Model Ts, but when you see one out and about it’s very cool! Especially when you can see it’s well cared for and the owner loves it. I’d personally never let anything stop me from owning and carrying something I love. No date, no time, not what others think. ❤️
Right?! I actually kind of like when designers stop making a bag that I was able to snag 😉. I love the Lady D’joy btw 😆
I won't buy from any retailer that doesn't appreciate their customers. If they aren't accessible and friendly to everyone who walks into the store, I won't give them one dime to keep them open. Tiffinay is an ultra-expensive retailer. There's not much an average Jane or Joe can afford in there, but they treat everybody who walks in with tremendous respect despite knowing that most of their foot traffic is only able to browse. Never support retailers you love who don't love you back is my motto!
100% agree on Tiffany (I'm assuming you are talking about T&Co)! I walked out of Dior SG feeling devastated bc they didn't even look at me (180 degree as compared to Dior Jakarta, kudos to them) and walked into Tiffany and they were so flipping nice I ended up buying something from them just because. Absolutely love their services everywhere in the world too.
I agree! Tiffany staff are the most friendly ❤❤❤
@@jillktsm I don't know how treating customers so poorly and disrespectfully got to be something customers are willing to put up with and not do what they should, keep your money and walk out the door!
@@debraturner4559 Exactly. Happy I walked out of Dior and in to Tiffany.
So Chanel would be on my list for that.
Great video Sophie! I 100% agree with you on the LV Neverfull. I can never understand why almost all luxury tote bags have no zipper (e.g. Loewe, Chloé, Prada...) - imagine paying 4 figures for a bag and it can't even protect what's in it! It's crazy!
Wow I love it. In this climate where almost all influencers SCREAMING “quiet luxury’, it’s refreshing to see you admitting that you still love logos. A lot of us still do too.
I'd be careful of the Chanel 22 bag, there's a lot of horror stories on UA-cam of people who bought the leather version of that bag and it was already peeling and cracking after one use! It's probably a lot better in the non-leather versions, but not worth questionable quality at that price. Great video as always Sophie! ♥
So, not going to lie, I’ve seen a super fake, like a thousand dollar super fake. It was stunning, the touch, the smell, the threading, I don’t know how someone could say that’s not the real deal. But here’s the thing, at that price point I can grab 2-3 nice longchamps trendy bags, or coach, Tory Burch or even an out of season Gucci,Chloe or Saint Laurent at the outlets. I’ve come to terms that I’m priced out of Chanel, Hermes and even Dior. My top cut nowadays would be 3k for a bag, and it would have to be the bag of my life for that much money.
I know what you mean, these bags have become SO expensive it’s ridiculous 😔 I too have been lots more into contemporary brands with bags under £1k. And the thing is, £3k is a lot!! But what you can get for that budget is shrinking. Thank you for watching and commenting my friend 🙏💗🥰xx
There are so many bags that I love the look & idea of, but they will never be part of my collection. Partly because I just don’t have a use for them (don’t suit my lifestyle) & partly because how many bags do I really need when clutter & owning too many things gives me anxiety, I feel trapped by excess stuff (I guess I’m a borderline minimalist at heart). No-one needs to own everything they like, sometimes it’s nice to just admire from afar.
So true, buying a so expensive bag and need to beg for is a real shame !
The Constance only very recently became a non quota bag. And currently Hermès are trying to fulfil the wishes of those who had had them on their wish lists already. So perhaps wait until the end of the year until all those old wishes have been fulfilled and then enquire.
This is GREAT information! Thank you so much! 🙏💗😊xx
@@SophieShohetOfficial I'd go in with a wish list too. It'll get to your turn eventually.
That was lovely you gave your neverfull bag to that person. What a lovely thing to do. 💕
i'm with you Sophie re Hermes. I don't like to have to beg for something that I am going to pay a huge amount of money for.
I love the look of Hermes Birkins, so I actually bought a diy kit of the ones equal to the 25s and have made three so far! Went and bought every diy kit color they had. No begging, no outrageous price, and I can say “ I actually made this”! ❤️
Hi, Sophie- One of the many reasons I enjoy your videos is that you don't talk about Hermes very often. I have cut way back on following the UA-camrs who have joined the Hermes cult and lose all interest in non Hermes products. Their bags are so far out of reach for me, hearing about the brand nonstop just alienates me. Thank you for covering such a variety of topics, brands and price points. 'Luv you!
I think Birkins and kellys are seen as something so hard to get that people don’t even try. I once enter my local boutique and ask what I needed to get one, they told me and it was not hard. I got two birkins (30 and then 25) from my local store without buying much and just being patient.
I think it depends on the country you shop from…
Also, how quickly people want them. Some want both in a year which is difficult outside of Europe and USA.
sure.....
Today when I visited the Prada accessories boutique in Harrods, the SA told me that shopping in Hermes is like shopping in Tesco because you have to queue up before you can buy - it was a really funny yet eye opening analogy indeed!!
I feel the same about Hermes. The thought of begging to spend my money is madness. I’d rather go where I can freely purchase what I want.
Love the Saint Laurent College bag! It’s hard to believe that the US price for the College bag is almost the same price as the LV Pochette Metis now. 😮
“If I’m gonna be really honest…” THIS is why we’re here, Sophie!!! 😆
And what you said about FEELING like you own certain things makes PERFECT sense. I go through this all the time. Glad it’s not just me! lol In reality, it just saves us money in the long run. 👌🏼
At the end of the day - a Birkin is just a tote bag 😅
Yes, for me it’s sad when there are beautiful bags that are just a box, no compartments or great inner body, you just dump things inside there
Everything goes everywhere in one second of using one
It is THE tote bag. Also bag inserts help keep things tidy.
Buy a purse organizer. Don’t own a Birkin but has been a game changer for my Dior Book tote
LOL
I thought the same about the Chanel reissue, BUT, it comes in more durable calfskin and sells in preloved market for a lower price point, soooo, I am very tempted. Especially in some of the gorgeous colorways.
I have to say, if I have to play a game to buy a bag, I'm not participating. Take my money or don't it doesn't matter. I don't need a bag, I want it. I did buy the Dior D-Joy (the rectangular Lady Dior) and I personally love it. Just for my personal style and taste, it works very well for me and I feel happy every single time I use it whether top handle, shoulder, or crossbody.
Buying super popular bag to me would feel like I have no imagination to find something different. Plus they have so many fakes. Recently got a Sicily in yellow pre-owned, but like new and absolutely love how it goes with almost everything I wear, so I found tod’s loafers in yellow and to me they are such a joyful pair. And to me it looks more about the style, not just a brand.
I LOVE 💗 the Chanel Trendy. I don’t own it because it’s just too expensive. I loved it when it was released and I still love it today.
Hello Sophie! I really enjoy watching your videos from the Canary Islands. I find your videos really helpful when I’m considering buying a new bag . Hugs from one of your Spanish viewers. XX😊
My mom had a blue Van Cleef and Arpels Alhambra blue clover necklace. I got it after I cleaned out her house after she passed. I don't know how long she'd had it, probably a long time. It's beautiful, and I do wear it once in a while. I've had offers for it, but it was my mom's, so nope, it's not for sale. (Jan Griffiths).
It's refreshing to hear someone say that they won't buy a bag just because they like it, or just because it's popular. Especially when it's luxury items with high price tags. You have talked about this before, and it's good to reiterate, to remind people to be mindful about what they buy.
I currently work in secondhand/vintage shops (called Good, we have 3 stores in Queensway, Seven Dials and Kensington Church Street), the business owners hand-pick our stock, and most weeks I see pieces that I like, or find really cute, but that doesn't mean it's my style and that I would wear it. Maybe I like the colours, or the print on it, the fabrics and textures used or the embellishments, but more often than not the piece as a whole just wouldn't work for me and my wardrobe.
Thank you Sophie for your vlog this was so interesting ! I was wondering if you could give me your opinion on what the best Tote Designer bag is. I too have the LV never full and struggle with it I want to invest in a new tote that I can use for travel as I have to travel a lot and for carrying items around town. If you have time I would love your input. These bags are pricey I have my eye on the fendi and Dior but love the Gucci and Pravda too. Just struggling to make up my mind. Lol. Thanks again for all your vlogsI find them so entertaining and inspiring ❤
Hi Sophie! Thank you for another great video -- and I hear you about the LV Neverfull, but I wouldn't get one due to the number of incredibly good fakes that exist out there. I'm curious what you think about straw, raffia, or woven bags of that sort for the spring/summertime....Do you own any? I ask because they're peaking my interest for the first time, but I wouldn't spend luxury prices on...well, straw -- even though some of them are absolutely beautiful.
Prada crystal will totally be outdated, it feels like this already
I totally agree that the Prada bag will be dated looking and I also understand how you feel about VCA because we see it so often.
The Constance is not a quota bag, meaning there’s not a hard limit on how many you can buy per year (though realistically you’ll probably only be offered 2 max), but it still requires prespend, 0.3-1:1 depending on specs/spend category/how well you get along w/ your SA.
On the subject of the Hermes way of shopping, I think it’s a common misconception that you have to beg for Birkins and Kellys. You wouldn’t really beg to be offered (begging seldomly leads to offers) you would just let your SA know your wishlist, and each store visit would just be a nice chat w/ your SA while browsing items of interest. Over time your SA learns your style and tailors their suggestions to your taste. It’s a slower, more leisurely way of shopping (to me), it’s not for everybody, and if you are interested in bags only and are not open to exploring other categories, then preloved is probably a better way to go.
I was at a local thrift store in my city and noticed a section of bags. I was snooping the racks and noticed 2 LV bags. I initially though they were fake since I do not see "Luxury designer" at thrift stores, especially "corporate" thrift stores. One of the bags was a barrel shape with the LV monogram all over going for around US$10.00. The other was a crossbody priced at US$79.99 with a brown box print. Both were stamped "Made in France" & are well used. I ended up buying the crossbody since I was so intrigued by it. This is my second piece of LV. I have a canvass wallet in good condition with a snap button missing. IMO Louis Vuitton is not worth the money.
I find a givenchy pandora large size at 12$ in a thrift shop. My best find ever!
Hi Sophie. I remember going to get an LV 15 years ago and really wanted the Neverfull ;it was quite new then) I ended up with the LV Batignolles Vertical. Much more secure although now discontinued. I do like the Chanel flap you showed but agree I would rather have the logo (and leather chain strap)
Hi Sophie, I hope you are well? Looking forward to watching as always! Wishing you a wonderful evening 🥰❤
Hello lovely Alyce! All good this side, thank you so much 🙏😊💗 I hope you’re having the nicest sunny evening 😎🥰 Hugs xx
Hello Sophie, the crystal embellished Prada, they are pretty, but you are right, they won't stay long, you mentioned Y2K, the thing is those bags ARE part of the Y2K come back styles. It has been popular for a while, but it will change.
The new Lady Dior seems odd to me and I love the classic Lady Dior. It is a temporary bag.
I would love to have the Prada Galleria bag for work as it fits a laptop but would love to hear thoughts on nice work laptop bags
The reissue is my fav at the time being, i’m over the logo thing at this point 😂
the best thing about this bag that the price decreases dramatically in preloved market and you can find plenty of choices 👍🏼 yet still classic
I absolutely love the Chanel Coco handle but due to quality issues and crazy price increases, I have refrained from buying it.❤❤
here since start, remember you didn't fancy hermes bags in general, I too recall thinking how horrible looking the hermes Evelyne bag seemed with that dotted H but after buying other H bags (years back) saw an Evelyne in my fave H color and my SA, who knew exactly what looked good on me and what colors worked, had me try it on, I did and it's hands down one of my all time favorite bags and now wish I had bought in another color when they had in most perfect lemon yellow but other than that in absolute bag peace - always loved jewelry most, just saw your jewelry video, would love to see more of yours, loved links of London + the story about your grandfather is awesome, those rings are amazing! do you still have the coral Chanel mini bag? loved that color but patent is a no go for me, remember your patent wallet story, something similar happened to me as well - sending you orange fairy dust in hopes for that Hermes C, patience and stopping by to say hello to SA does wonders, best of luck! cheers!
All popular bags are available second hand. No one has to deal with games or feeling uncomfortable at a boutique. People associate the buying experience with the item and work themselves up over the buying process.
A very good point!! Hugs to you my friend xx🥰
@@SophieShohetOfficial I love the new profile pic.
I agree with you about Hermes. Who wants to feel like the Store is doing you a favor to let you spend your money there. And buying things you don't particularly want to build a buying history just so maybe you are lucky enough to get "offered" a bag. No thank you
Hi Sophie, Love your content and I would say we agree about 85% of the time…I have to take exception, though to your comment about the LV bags hardware scratching. You’re 100% right, it DOES scratch, but you can get protectors. However, Chanel hardware scratches, the bags are VERY delicate, color transfer is a huge issue and yet you can’t seem to resist buying them???? Don’t get me wrong, I also love Chanel but they are twice or three times as expensive as “most” other luxury bags and do NOT wear well at all. Also, you’ve done a marvelous job of presenting lesser known, or lower end bags that may not be considered “luxury” but are luxurious…by that I mean they’re quality bags that are beautiful & very well made. Coach, Senreve, etc. There are others such as Poilene and Moynat which are excellent brands as well as many others. I wish influencers would broaden their horizons because frankly, content about the same old same old is getting stale…you’re the only one who seems willing to branch out..please keep it up.. thank you!
Sophie! i recommend taking a trip to paris and scheduling a leather appointment with FSH! you don't need to have any history and you can get any bag you want. Plus, paris is lovely in springtime. Before the pandemic (and before i was a mom) I would go every spring! now you can even make an appointment online instead of lining up in the morning lol
This is a great idea, thank you so much for this information!🙏🙏🙏xx💗
@@SophieShohetOfficial I was going to advise this too! You need to request your appointment the day before for a Kelly or Birkin but if you want a Constance, you won't have to! x
I own the LV Neverfull….DE Gm…..i pull in the tabs so its smaller at the top.
Works for me 👏🏼
How you feel about VCA (like you've seen it everywhere and you're just over it) is how I feel about Chanel classic flap bags. I never had an opportunity to buy one before now, but now I'm already tired of them. Maybe it's this factor in combination with just not loving it enough! Thanks for the fun video 🤗
Not only that, look at the vintage classic bags from chanel online… unbelievably different quality
Chanel is recently giving me fast fashion vibe, uneven quilts, zippers and poor stitching and unfortunately worsening over years! I always loved chanel.. but i felt something has changed after karl’s death
If they didn’t save the brand with better quality the upcoming few years… it will lose its spark 🤷🏻♀️
I decided to spend my money on brands that still produce handmade bags like delvaux
If i’m going for the splurge, i’ll do it for real luxury, not the brandname
You raise a good point Abby, I can totally understand how you feel about the classic flap xx💗
@@SophieShohetOfficial Your collection is still very beautiful Sophie! 😍 So great that you were able to get them before the quality decline 💫
Constance isn’t really a quota bag, however the associates are the ones who determine whether they want to offer you something or not, regardless if it’s a quota bag or not. I’ve had the same SA for yrs and that is due to she and I “clicking” the first time we met, at the boutique. I was offered a Birkin 35 on my first visit with no prior buying history.
Of course the 35 was significantly less money back in those days. I have continued to purchase from her and she often messages me with offers for Kelly’s, Birkins and Constance’s. Point being, imo it’s all about your connection to and relationship with your SA.
I like the Prada crystal bag that's triangle shaped. at 6:57. I probably would keep jewelry in it instead of carrying it. I'd be afraid of crystals coming off, or someone stealing it. (Jan Griffiths).
There are two ways of getting a Hermes bag, either by having a sales history with them or…….. happy to hand handover a envelope filled …….!
I think this is where the secondhand market is strong. There are plenty of reputable resellers out there, and it’s been a fun hobby for me to see what’s out there.
I love the Balenciaga Triple S sneaker but I can't justify the price and the brand's series of controversies.
Yes this is the issue, I have some gorgeous Balenciaga bags but I don’t use them for this reason xx❤️
Hi Sophie, I love watching your videos and your insights. I have a lot of stuff that I like but do not own. It is primarily because I like a lot and cannot afford to buy every single thing. It also isn’t practical if I did buy all of them. I do not own the LV Metisse nor the Neverfull even though I like them because the Metisse is just too common. Everybody has one. The Neverfull is the same thing with the Metisse where it is everywhere. However, I don’t want to buy a Neverfull because of the fact that it also has a lot of dupes for a tenth of its price. I have a reversible Vegan tote with a small crossbody bag included with it for like $60.
I totally agree with you n I own many bags but not Hermes bcos I don’t have time to build relationship with the SA. I rather spend my time doing more meaningful things. I also love the Chanel pink backpack ❤
💖🤴👸💖Sophie l think you giveing your LV neverfull to the lady going through a hard time was such a lovely think to do. I also have the LV neverfull and l wished l hadn't bought it .The think is with these Luxury things you dont know if it will work for you until you have bought it. So you do have to really think about what you buy its like pot luck lol. Sophie and David have a lovely time this Coronation weekend 💖😊💖
Thanks for sharing ☺️. I opened my very first Hermes boxes yesterday. My choices? One of their scarves and two Kelly belts. I don't really want a Hermes or Chanel bag (well... maybe a Chanel mini😅). Have a great day.
Beautiful choices!! You enjoy your items my friend! 😊🥰🍊🍊xx
The D Joy in small sizes is just so much easier to use than the classic.
I hope it sticks around
It’s ok to like bags cuz sometimes when we own it, we realize it’s not for us. 😅 we like it from afar. Thanks for sharing my lady. 🙏🏼❤️😘😘😘Sandy
Omg I feel the same on everything u mentioned! Especially Hermes and VCA. I refuse to have to beg someone to sell me something. I just can't do it.
Some items like Vca bracelets, Rolex Date just, Chanel classic flap, Cartier love, feel like "luxury uniform" 😅 which almost everyone have. I like them, but at the same time feels a bit bored
I agree 100% about the uniform. I'd far rather have something individual that not everyone has.
@@picklesmith1972 lol thank you! I don't deny they are pretty but a bit boring lolz
I really and truly love the Lady Dior, and I think I could find one in a color/hardware that I really like, but I always come back to "it just seems too feminine for what I actually wear regularly" to justify saving up for it. Especially when the bag that's more my personal style is about half the price of the Lady Dior 😅
Plus, they are rather fussy bags. I have a pink lambskin Lady dior in medium and a small section of the leather came off because I accidentally scratched it with my fingernail 😭
Hi Sophie, the one designer bag I would love to own (besides the Prada sparkly bags!) is the LV Alma BB exactly like the one you have. I really like the colors, pattern and overall look. Also the size. But the prices, even for preloved, are too high for me now. I have a large size Alma bag in epi leather and it's lovely, but it's too big for me. I'll probably sell it one of these days.
Hello lovely Wendy! The Alma bb is a great bag. I bought mine when it was £650 in 2016! I remember looking at it in 2014/2015 and it was around £450 then 🤯 they’re really expensive now 😔 and you’re right, even preloved they’re a lot. If you ever should pull the trigger on one (new or preloved) I think you’ll love it though. It’s the perfect size! Hugs xx🥰💗❤️
@@SophieShohetOfficial I'll keep checking on it, but scary to spend so much! BTW I forgot to say, that rectangle Lady Dior looks really weird, like they took a regular Lady Dior and cut the bottom half off! 😂
I want to get one of the crystal Prada handbags but I can’t justify spending that kind of money… 😩 I’ll admire from afar.
I’m the same!xx
The d joy is great because the handles go down and you can wear nicely cross body. Just wanted to share this perspective.
Yes!!! I also felt vca has lost the charm for me because i see it too much… same with classic flap.. i was never into prada’s crystal bags but i have their nylon messenger bag and use it all the time. Its just practical and light weight. Omg i dont like the reissue as well becausw there isnt a logo, it looks like a knockoff imo…
thank you for speaking on hermes and their sales system! totally not for me. i usually feel like a second class citizen in that store. beautiful bags but i like to feel respected and like i matter- especially when you’re spending over 10k on a bag.
I wish I had bought a Lady Dior! I bought a Dior hand bag years ago in purple (I don’t even know what the name of it is.). Didn’t know anything about luxury and purchasing items that would appreciate, I just liked the bag. I used it mostly when I went to basketball games (or team colors are purple) but then stadiums and arenas limited the size of the bags to enter so I’m not able to use the bag as much anymore. 😮
see this is why i follow you and watch your videos. you talk about Luxury items however you do random nice things for people and i can get behind that. I honestly want a Marc Jacobs bag however i am not really in to this seasons bags he has
I really Love the Lady Dior Bag, but can't see to spend that much on it. Even second hand are expensive and I worry that the value will tank.
I have the same feeling about the loewe puzzle bag. It’s always there and I like it but I just don’t buy it😂😂😂
The Constance is not a quota bag in Paris. Other locations it is. No worries about the rejection...you'll get used to it :) it's no more drama than going in to any other store asking for something and it's sold out, you know. Go for it, just try, maybe you are lucky
I wouldn't buy any of these because I can't afford them. IF I could, I'd get the Kelly and Constance pre-owned. Of course, if a "miracle" happened and I won the lotto and waltzed into a Hermes store to buy a scarf and they automatically offered me what bag I wanted...lol. I like the Prada crystal bags also. Love the bling!
In London, Constance is a quota bag sadly. But not everywhere.
I have a reason for not owning anything Fendi… when my step dad would starve me and my siblings, he went away on a business trip and came back with a fendi baguette for my mom. That logo haunts me 😅😂🤷🏻♀️☠️
I never had any purchase history in Hermès and I get 3 birkins (1 in my local store in France), one other with no appointement in FSH in Paris and 1 in Barcelona.
i wont go for a kelly or birkin unless i go to paris and do the appointment. i just don't like the hermes brand enough build a history. though birkin 35s and 40s aren't too terribly priced pre-loved. Plus i like the more structured fendi peekaboo (isseu style) more than the kelly tbh.
i saw someone wearing the small chanel 22 in person and it completely turned me around on the bag. Still don't like the larger sizes, but the mini size is really cool.
I’m a big fan of the Fendi peekaboo too! Have you seen the new one which has a flower bud on the handle? I love it in the sage green 💗
And yes, I’m totally with you on the 22! I’m not into the large size at all but the mini is cute!😍👍💗xx
@@SophieShohetOfficial I’ve seen it. I like it in either the brown or green.
Hopefully I’ll be buying my first peekaboo for my birthday in June, so I might go for the flower handle one in the smaller size or a regular medium in brown.
I pretty much love all variations of this bag.
Keep 'em coming Sophie (this was an unusual one) xxx
I love PM! I just bought it in monogram. If you buy it in Europe you will end up paying just under 3k with tax return. I just have to own it and in monogram as its so classic. YSL college is gorgeous and i almost bought it, after much consideration i bought PM instead. it just doesn't hold its value and it's too expensive for the brand.
btw did you hear about the rumors going around about Chanel?
It is said that SA will not get any commission from selling bags anymore.
How do you think will this affect prices and and shopping power?
Hello lovely Sara! ❤️ Ooh, no I hadn’t heard about that 🤯 indeed you’re right, it’ll be interesting to see how that plays out 🤔xx
With everything Chanel does it feels like they are just screaming “stop buying our bags!” :)
Hope someone is brave enough to speak up about it if it is true because until now it is said to be leaked by a SA in the USA that informed her customers that she is no longer working for Chanel. We will see wether it is a rumor or not. love you Sophie.❤️❤️
Actually many people started buying their bags in the last 3 years because they know it is now or never with them constantly raising up their prices. So they are winning by people purchasing alot from them now while having baby steps towards becoming like Hermès in the future. Imo their bags are not investment bags anymore.
Even non-quota bags at Hermes are extremely difficult to get. Trust me, I've tried. I even had a contact at Selfridges and I couldn't even get an Evelyne. They are always out of stock and it's super annoying and I just gave up.
i took a chance and pulled the trigger on an adorable pink bag from non other than dr. martens. i'm a big fan of their footware so this will complement my shoes. i can't wait to receive it and see if it is actually as robust as the pictures. i don't know of anyone who owns one so i will be unique in my circle!
Same here with the hermes bags, if Im gonna spend 10k on things I don’t need to qualify for the bag and not get exactly what I wanted , I would rather get the leather colour and size I want from a reseller. But Im not a big fan of Hermes bags anyway. Their bags are easily replaceable by other brands.
I really like the look of the Lady Dior, but the floppy handles and that they don't then flop down flush to the bag would dry be insane so I know I'll never buy one.
Hello Sophie! Sending big love from the US. ❤
Hello my friend from a sunny London! 😎🥰xx❤️
How kind to give your Neverfull to that follower ❤
I have 4 bags on my list. I still want a speedy b 25 in damier ebene. I don't care about quiet luxury. I want a bag that i can wear until it falls apart. I want a longchamp , a couch tabby clutch and a Ralph Lauren. Its an 800 dollar bag and it's a beautiful dupe for a Mulberry bayswater.
I have the Metis in empreinte noir and I love it. You should get one ☺️
I do love that bag!!xx
Hi Sophie, I’d absolutely love a Rolex datejust but I cannot justify it when I have a TAG aquaracer that looks almost exactly the same and probably performs better at less than half the price 😮
I do love Tag too!!xx
Would you buy a Kelly or Birkin in Paris if you were offered one? I’ve heard it’s much easier to get one in Paris
Hello lovely Courtney! I probably would you know! I have heard this about Paris too xx💗
Oh and the LV tournelle comes with a long crossbody strap.
Please do review mulberry. I want to find the bag the baby took from Kate. I think for the money the Mulberry bags look very nice. But are they worth the money? Do they resell well? Why doesn’t anyone wear them in California? Does Kate where them because she has to honor British brands? Or are they considered prestigious in UK only or in Europe in general? Why is she wearing old ones? Are they actually sustainable?
Damm never seen you posted, can’t wait to watch
I hope you enjoy watching my friend!xx🥰💗
@@SophieShohetOfficialt’s great as usual. I wanted to add: We discussed before previously about my Off White nylon bag that was in the low hundreds. I may email you tmr with a details about it incase you want to feature in “affordable contemporary bags” video in the future….it’s a great alt to never full and things never fall out clumsy
Sophie can. You please. Do a video about Bras.. Iam look for. A good Bra but can’t find one. 🙏 ❤
I refuse to spend more than $5000 on a bag so no Hermes quota bags for me! I do like a lot of there items other than their bags so I’d probably eventually get offered one and then turn it down lol. I do love the Picotin and the mini Evelyn and those are much more affordable so I’d get those but yeah Birkins, Kelly’s, Constance’s and Bolides are just too much for a bag. 🤷♀️
Interesting perspective ❤😊
I love ur mindset
Sophie, I'm sure that you are aware but the Coach Cassie is EXACTLY the same thing as the Metis... For those who don't have that kind of money and don't care about the logo but love the bag, this might be a good alternative.
hi Sophie, what lingerie do you use for halter neck and strapless dresses and top ?
With their double closings, the Kelly and the Birkin do not look easy to use and open and close all day. I have seen many photos where the woman leaves the buckle open and I can see why.
Those fluffy Prada bags.
i don't own expensive bags because i take the metro and i don't want to get robbed...so i only carry my longchamp bag but yeah, that's about it...i love designer sunglasses and lip gloss but when it comes to bags...i think that they're not worth it and i would rather just spend money on some fancy shoes like manolos or jimmy choos or louboutins
I have four Hermes bags and I’ve bought them all from a trusted Japanese reseller and I paid more than retail for them, all because I’m very particular about what I want, and I can’t deal with Hermes’s horrible customer service. NO THANKS! Pouchete metis is great for travel
