I think what I'm learning is quality over brand. I've bought a few really nice real leather handbags without any branding and they have lasted for ages, still look brand new and are beautiful. I'm so over big brands selling items that are terrible quality. I'm over it. Vintage is the way to go
Definitely. There are local artisans that make high quality bags and shoes. I’ve got leather bags from 2010 and shoes from much earlier, non branded and locally made, that are still in great condition.
I did buy a local branded leather bag. No big logo so I don't even remember the brand lol. I only bought a few years ago but it's still good with regular wear
Please share names of the smaller brandsif you don't mind. I have tried to search for these online before but don't end up buying because there is not much online presence so I get worried if anything will turn up or it might not look like the picture.
I bought two Hermes bags from Luxury Promise and it was the easiest transaction I’ve ever had. I didn’t even have any trouble with US Customs either which is a miracle. I can’t wait to shop in there when we visit London at the end of the year. Love your pink coat.
The Chanel little box bag and the white tweed were very cute. Loved your jumper when you went to the Porsche event, love the blue tone of your Porsche, and the McLaren is simply awesome. I love McLaren as it reminds me of Senna, the F1 legend. Thank you for the vlog.
Those shearling bags are quite cute, and I have to say the bunny shaped one is what I'd go for, just because it's adorable and fun to keep. Loved seeing the 'car stuff' in the vlog, always fun to watch those bits in addition to shopping!
I would love to see your opinion on high street bags! You know what quality looks like and while those won't be Chanel or Dior, I'd 1,000% trust you if you said "This bag will last a while". I'd like to see Zara and Holland Cooper. I also love the car content! So fun
Just today I received in the mail a vintage Chanel box bag in natural calfskin similar the one you showed. I am only buying preloved bags right now. I have also purchased several Ferragamo, and Cole Haan pieces and I am quite pleased with them.
A great vlog with a lot of product information on a variety of subjects. Thank you for your coverage of the Salon Prive' it was spot on and the cars were spectacular. The McLaren was so beautiful it was so great great seeing a vlog with so much car coverage...Thank you. Wishing many years of happiness with your new Porsche. Love your sight.
Your pleasure in cars is so lovely! Except for books, I have lost interest in buying from the luxury brands. The prices are now out of proportion. I still enjoy seeing other people enjoying the new bags, but I have no personal interest left! Thank you for the video. Have an amazing day!
Sophie, I got so impressed with how London is actually dangerous… I went to visit two weeks ago and actually got robbed in the Borough Market. I’m not planning on coming back there with all these ongoing issues…
Actually no that's not Chanel, but I LOVE that SKI sweater - you can officially consider yourself an "Influencer", because under your Influencer I'm about to buy yet ANOTHER pink sweater. LOL
oooh what a lovely long video, love your vintage shopping trips, you have really made me want to go and explore LP at the weekend. Loved the poncho. 😀 Did you try on the pink/tan Chanel polo neck that was hanging up? I thought it looked very pretty and wondered what you thought of it. Great to see a bit of mail-time too. I find it very cosy in the winter. Hope you have a great rest of the week and a good weekend 💐💐💐
Hi lovely 🤍 I am obsessed with Luxury Promise. And I have you to thank. I enjoy their lives & I can’t tell you how many amazing finds I have purchased from them. Sabrina is a doll. Have a brilliant week lovely. I really appreciate your vlogs. And I enjoy your videos soo much ❤❤
Yay thanks for the car content! We missed Salon Prive this year but looked brilliant. That wing on the GT3 RS looks massive 😆 Have you thought about signing up for Supercar Fest? Registration opens on the 1st of November, we've been the past couple of years and it's great fun 🚗💨
I'm one of the viewers who enjoy the car segments and videos, and I hope you do more! Don't get discouraged by the numbers. Because I think content/videos will always find its way to the right audience in the end. :) it wouldn't hurt to get new viewers that way. Which I know you know well because you're in marketing too 😆
How timely, I've been looking at shearling bags! I'm assuming you didn't buy any of those vintage bags you were looking at? I love the "Ski" sweater, I'm a sucker for pink.
Oh my gosh GT3 RS! I used to do motor cars auctions for Bonhams in the states. Do you ever go to Silver Stone or Sotheby's, Goodwood? I miss them but I still am connected to a few people who ran the Bonham's sales. It's always fun spending other peoples money! The phone bidding was the most fun!
That vintage Chanel you were trying did look like a dark brown to me. Guess it depends on the light. Now I'm wondering if you got it? It was really unusual and cool. On another note, I do miss David being on camera and talking - I always enjoy when you two go places and banter with each other. Cheers and happy Bonfire Night!
I'd like to hear your opinion on luxury duplicates. I've been looking at some online and the quality is the same, you still have to pay few hundreds or less. I've always bought authentic. Would love to hear your thoughts.
I wish I could drive smaller cars 😩🤣 I can neither see correctly, nor can my two dogs and toddler FIT 😂 Once the science is truly down, hybrids are absolutely the way to go!!
Hi my dear Sophie, how are you? I hope everything is fine 😘 I can't wait to see Salon prive'!! Where does this event take place? is it open to the public or is it by invitation only?
Hello lovely Veronica! You reminded me, I remember you asking about Salon Prive in our email chat! I think you wondered if it’s invite only? Basically anyone can go, so if you ever visit the U.K. and think you’d like to attend, you totally can! 😊 Hope you’re having a great week!xx
I would have been so scared to drive that one-of-a-kind car. I'm the type of girl who rents a car to go on a trip and gets to the big city, pulls into the parking garage and ends up running into a post. Then run onto a curb and both make a mark on a car that is not mine. Then come home and confess to denting it in a couple of places. I paid cash to have the places fixed. Thank goodness it was only three hundred dollars. I could have been a lot more. I'm so glad you can navigate these cars on the streets of London. Driving on my wrong side of the road. You are such a pro. When I come to London, I want to go into Luxury Promise just to look. I found some pictures that I took on designers' row in Harrods when I was there. I fantasize about owning a piece of Chanel. I love the vintage Chanel. It is so well made and of materials that cannot be gotten anywhere else.
Regarding the Chanel jumper with the giant logo…ask yourself this question…..If it was the exact same sweater but didn’t have the CC’s on it, would you still want it? If the answer is no, you’re in it for the wrong reason! I’ve been facing this fact myself lately too! We all say it’s not about the logo’s, it’s the quality right? But if we take this little “test” we’ve got to admit it! Would you still equally love all of your Chanel bags if the CC’s weren’t on it? 🤔 If Walmart made the same bags, using the same quality materials, but instead of CC or LV it had WW on it, or the Louis Vuitton monogram was little W’s instead of LV, would you still buy it? If the answer is NO, it IS about the logo…full stop! With that in mind…why do we do this? What actually qualifies as “luxury”? Case in point…I recently bought a Marc Jacobs bag. It’s absolutely gorgeous! The leather is beautiful and they use heavy jewelry quality chain strap, and it comes with webbing strap too! It’s absolutely fabulous! But it’s only $499 so that’s not luxury? It’s only lux if you paid way too much money for it I guess! I’m starting to respect my money more, and not buying these super expensive bags anymore!
Hello lovely! So technically it’s a dress, but it’s coat fabric if you ask me! So I’ve worn it as a dress before but I’m wearing it more now as a coat! Hugs xx
Love your vlogs Sophie…how do you find London these days? Do you think the that Covid (now cost of living) cloud is still hanging over when you’re out or is back to 2019 vibes?
I'm never buying luxury products brand new again. The lack of quality with Chanel for the price is just ridiculous. I'm wearing my Coach bags more than anything else. Would love to see more shopping at Luxury Promise. Take care
Pre loved is so nice, however here in stockholm we have quite a bit of criminals wanting to show off and lots of luxury items are bought and later sold off as second hand, so I don't feel happy about that. Especially since I work with financial crime, I cannot be sure what money something is bought with. So that is the reason why I buy full price. However if the item is really vintage then I see the risk dropping, it is the brand new items that are immediately sold in vintage boutiques that make me sceptical.
Hi lovely you have interesting videos thanks for that. If you can please tell us the prices in a second -hand store of the bags it is very interesting. Thanks ❤ the chanel box and the hermes pls
Hey Sophie, i have a bit of an unusual question but maybe you can answer it still. I’ll be England from 22Dezember til the 4th of January 23. I desperately want to go to London for one day to see the christmas lights and christmas decoration in Harrods as well. Since I’m involved with family for the first week i thought I’ll go on the 2nd of January. Do you know if the lights will still be up then or do they throw everything out straight on the 26th December? Thank you!
Hello lovely! Normally I'm a size 38 (French) but actually this coat/dress does come-up large I think. I sized-down to a size 36 and it's a good fit! Still allows for a jumper to be worn underneath :) Hugs xx

Definitely. There are local artisans that make high quality bags and shoes. I’ve got leather bags from 2010 and shoes from much earlier, non branded and locally made, that are still in great condition.
I agree with you both! So many high quality ‘unbranded’ bag artisans out there xx
If they have online stores, please share!
I did buy a local branded leather bag. No big logo so I don't even remember the brand lol. I only bought a few years ago but it's still good with regular wear
Please share names of the smaller brandsif you don't mind. I have tried to search for these online before but don't end up buying because there is not much online presence so I get worried if anything will turn up or it might not look like the picture.
I love the vintage shop. I wish we had places like that closer to me. I love the cars!!
I've been watching you since I was 13, I'm 17 now and I still find complete joy and comfort in your videos. Your voice is so soothing as well!
Vintage shopping vlogs are my all time favorites now!
Me too! I love looking to see what you can find!😊xx
The Chanel bag with the top handle you picked up in front of the mirror was absolutely stunning. The structure looked very simple, yet “powerful”. xo
I bought two Hermes bags from Luxury Promise and it was the easiest transaction I’ve ever had. I didn’t even have any trouble with US Customs either which is a miracle. I can’t wait to shop in there when we visit London at the end of the year. Love your pink coat.
Love the cars and the vintage. Great fun.
Love the vintage shopping with Sophie episode ❤
Also the pants you were wearing when you tried on the jumper look amazing on you.
Hello lovely! Yes I’m super into a bit of vintage shopping! Love that feeling of getting a deal!🥳xx
Yes, please do a video where you review/compare high street brands to designer brands!
Sophie, the vintage “box” Chanel is absolutely gorgeous!!! So different!!
Bit of food, bit of luxury fashion, bit of car, bit of chat... The perfect video! TFS Sophie, and happy humpday! 😘💕 xx
Hey, SHOPIE don't forget to share a drive with us in your new Porsche 😉
Hello lovely Thelma! I certainly will do this, standby! Hugs xx
Hi Thelma!!!
The Chanel box bag (intro) is so unique and beautiful 💕
The Chanel little box bag and the white tweed were very cute. Loved your jumper when you went to the Porsche event, love the blue tone of your Porsche, and the McLaren is simply awesome. I love McLaren as it reminds me of Senna, the F1 legend. Thank you for the vlog.
Those shearling bags are quite cute, and I have to say the bunny shaped one is what I'd go for, just because it's adorable and fun to keep. Loved seeing the 'car stuff' in the vlog, always fun to watch those bits in addition to shopping!
Sophie, I really love your Chanel and Dior sweaters! They’re too cute!
They’re so cute for sure! I wear them to death!! Hugs xx
Luxury promise looks like such a sweet shop! Thanks as always for taking us along with you Sophie ❤
I’m much preferring the preloved route. So many more options🎉
I would love to see your opinion on high street bags! You know what quality looks like and while those won't be Chanel or Dior, I'd 1,000% trust you if you said "This bag will last a while". I'd like to see Zara and Holland Cooper.
I also love the car content! So fun
My vote is for a holland cooper or fairfax and favour bag! I can vouch for them and say both brands are good quality 👌
Just today I received in the mail a vintage Chanel box bag in natural calfskin similar the one you showed. I am only buying preloved bags right now. I have also purchased several Ferragamo, and Cole Haan pieces and I am quite pleased with them.
I love your videos at Luxury Promise!! Vintage bags are the best! 😎
Omg that little section of Y2K Dior and Gucci! 😍
That shade of pink on your coat looks beautiful on you.
A great vlog with a lot of product information on a variety of subjects. Thank you for your coverage of the Salon Prive' it was spot on and the cars were spectacular. The McLaren was so beautiful it was so great great seeing a vlog with so much car coverage...Thank you. Wishing many years of happiness with your new Porsche. Love your sight.
I'm liking the new intro, Sophie! Love hanging out with you around town.
Your pleasure in cars is so lovely! Except for books, I have lost interest in buying from the luxury brands. The prices are now out of proportion. I still enjoy seeing other people enjoying the new bags, but I have no personal interest left!
Thank you for the video. Have an amazing day!
Sophie, I got so impressed with how London is actually dangerous… I went to visit two weeks ago and actually got robbed in the Borough Market. I’m not planning on coming back there with all these ongoing issues…
Ahhh, I love the Chanel shearling backpack! ( shocking for me!) you know I go for Vintage every time!😊
This looked like an insanely fun day to have!! Sophie out here livin her best life 🥳🎉🥂
Second jumper was lovely and suited you
Ohhhhh so excited to watch this!!! Thank you Sophie!!! ❤
Great video as always. Love the mix of both fashion and cars. 👌
Love love the cream leather interior in that Porsche!
Sophie, I really hope you went back for both the Fendi denim jacket and jeans. It was so chic and looked really great on you!
Love the vintage shopping, the cars! Gosh, loved the whole vid!🔥❤️👏
I can see you in the Dior poncho, simple but stylish.
Great video! The cars are absolutely gorgeous ❤
Such an enjoyable vid Sophie. Cheers from a new subscriber in New Zealand.
Love the Chanel sweater 💓
It’s so cute!!😍xx
Actually no that's not Chanel, but I LOVE that SKI sweater - you can officially consider yourself an "Influencer", because under your Influencer I'm about to buy yet ANOTHER pink sweater. LOL
All Christmas stuff is out here in the stores here in the states. I work at old navy here in oklahoma and we already have are jungel jammies out.
That hot pink bag in the intro was really lovely! 💕
It was a gorgeous colour in real life!!xx
So agreeable Sophie. I feel like I'm walking through London too lol

Hi lovely 🤍 I am obsessed with Luxury Promise. And I have you to thank. I enjoy their lives & I can’t tell you how many amazing finds I have purchased from them. Sabrina is a doll.
Have a brilliant week lovely. I really appreciate your vlogs. And I enjoy your videos soo much ❤❤
Your pink coat 😍😍😍 really like the Dior Poncho too.
I saw the fluffy Chanel bag in the thumbnail and had to click! Love your vlogs.
How cute is it?! One of you sent me a pic (I speak about it and show it towards the end of this vid). It’s adorable!xx
Yay thanks for the car content! We missed Salon Prive this year but looked brilliant. That wing on the GT3 RS looks massive 😆 Have you thought about signing up for Supercar Fest? Registration opens on the 1st of November, we've been the past couple of years and it's great fun 🚗💨
Thank you so much for reading my email out❤️ great video!! xx
Not a problem at all! And thank you for taking the time out to write to me, I appreciate it 😊❤️xx
Fab video - I always enjoy the car topics as much as the fashion ☺️☺️
OMG You drove your new Porsche.
It’s a gorgeous car
I think the Atura will be my dream car for when I'm rich 😍🚘. The shearling bunny looks like a keeper
Loving the cd poncho. I see capes/ponchos are back in this year.
I think bucket bags with shearling trim are stunning. The shearling is not overdone so maybe it won't date quite as much.
I’m calling tops ‘jumpers’ now too..to the consternation of my friends.😂
Haha! Xx
I'm one of the viewers who enjoy the car segments and videos, and I hope you do more! Don't get discouraged by the numbers. Because I think content/videos will always find its way to the right audience in the end. :) it wouldn't hurt to get new viewers that way. Which I know you know well because you're in marketing too 😆
Loved watching 🥰
Sophie! I’m curious about your first buying experience with purchasing a luxury vehicle. What was your first car and what made you choose it?
Loving this video!!!❤
I would love to see the ASOS video :)
How timely, I've been looking at shearling bags! I'm assuming you didn't buy any of those vintage bags you were looking at? I love the "Ski" sweater, I'm a sucker for pink.
mclaren loaned you a car? goals!
I really liked the vintage tweed chanel! Sophie would you choose a Celine Ava or Fendi first? I'm stuck deciding 😫
Both would be in the tan leather
I don't ever see you playing the H game, but that Kelly looked good on you, Sophie!!
i love you so much! i like your style and fun time.
Thank you for such a lovely comment and I’m so glad you enjoyed watching!🙏🙏😊😊❤️❤️xx
Hey Sophie, have yo ever reviewed Lulu Guinness bags and accessories?
Oh my gosh GT3 RS! I used to do motor cars auctions for Bonhams in the states. Do you ever go to Silver Stone or Sotheby's, Goodwood? I miss them but I still am connected to a few people who ran the Bonham's sales. It's always fun spending other peoples money! The phone bidding was the most fun!
Keep 'em coming Sophie xxx ...are you going to do second hand car shopping soon? xxx
That’s not a bad idea Paul!! 😂 You have a fab evening my friend!xx
That vintage Chanel you were trying did look like a dark brown to me. Guess it depends on the light. Now I'm wondering if you got it? It was really unusual and cool. On another note, I do miss David being on camera and talking - I always enjoy when you two go places and banter with each other. Cheers and happy Bonfire Night!
The Chanel jumpers would be good to wear ski ing.
I think your pink "jacket" is beautiful and chic; please try it with different skirts and pairs of trousers.
I'd like to hear your opinion on luxury duplicates. I've been looking at some online and the quality is the same, you still have to pay few hundreds or less. I've always bought authentic. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Hi Sophie!! Do you have to make an appointment to go to luxury promise or can you just pop in? I’d love to visit sometime soon!
Number 2 is the best Chanel sweater you would get more cost per wear
I love the pink ski sweater… brand, where did you get it?
I wish I could drive smaller cars 😩🤣 I can neither see correctly, nor can my two dogs and toddler FIT 😂 Once the science is truly down, hybrids are absolutely the way to go!!
If people have any suggestions of smaller brands/ local brands who produce leather bags please leave it as a reply to this comment ! ❤

Beautiful Chanel sweater
Hello lovely Kaylhee!! Yes it’s so cute!!! Hugs xx
@@SophieShohetOfficial hi Sophie, hugs back to you as well!
you actually inspired me to get my first Porsche...actually, to force my fiance' to get one!!
Hello Sophie, I love vintage shopping! I'm actually going to London in 2 and half weeks, any good vintage shops that you can recommend? Thank you
What Chanel price increase? They already had one in August! Is there another one coming again?
Oooh that damier azure Speedy
💜💜💜
how much was the Kelly?
I'm never buying luxury products brand new again. The lack of quality with Chanel for the price is just ridiculous. I'm wearing my Coach bags more than anything else.
Would love to see more shopping at Luxury Promise. Take care
Loveeee Coach! So underrated xx
Love the Hot Pink Chanel 💖

Hi Sophie, for size reference, is your pink coat dress Size 34 or 36 please? Thank you :) xx
Hello lovely! Normally I'm a size 38 (French) but actually this coat/dress does come-up large I think. I sized-down to a size 36 and it's a good fit! Still allows for a jumper to be worn underneath :) Hugs xx
What are your thoughts on the electric Porsche, the Taycan? 😎
I also would like to know her opinion on the car
Hi Sophie, around third maybe? Hugs xx
Yes third! Still super early though Jill!!xx
👋 miss Jill and Sophie!!
💕💕💕💕
I like to shop with Japanese resellers of vintage. Much cheaper. But not Hermes bags. 😅
I would have liked you to put vlog in the title as I wouldn’t have watched it just for this title. I skimmed the bag part to the vlog.
Great point Victoria, thank you so much for letting me know this. I've just added 'vlog' to the title :)
