I purchased the Valentino Rock Stud in black as an impulse purchase because I was going to an event in NYC. When I tell you that I use that bag WAY more than I ever thought I would, and when I'm not using it, I stare at it on the shelf because it's so beautiful! I love it and it was worth every penny. It's a bag that truly brings me joy.
Hi Amber, Givenchy is one of my favorite brands. I just recently purchase the original black box leather large Antigona. When I start my handbag channel soon I'll be unboxing it. Great video tag! 💞💞
The Celine bag design looks so much like the Longchamp Mailbox bag. Not identical but very similar in the exterior design. The pink color is so pretty!
I had three bags that you mentioned. If you like flap style bag with top handle , you are going to love Valentino Roman stud bag. The strap length is very good for curvy ladies. I got medium size and it’s not heavy as I thought it would be. Mulberry zipped Bayswater bag will be a good alternative of Celine luggage because it’s cheaper and very lightweight. They also had a beautiful lilac colour if you can find one. Mini Alexa bag is so cute and fits a lot, you can fit a kindle or small agenda in it. Although people complain the closure is a bit fiddly but I don’t mind it.
I have both mulberry bags you mention; honestly one of my favourite brands, I love the simplicity of the styles, the leathers and colours, highly recommend
Ohh I love the Valentino Roman Stud bag. I have it in white and navy, both large and they are amazing. They look amazing, versatile and they do fit a lot.
Hi Amber Ashleigh! I have the Polene bag that you mentioned. I loved it so much I have it in two colors (black and olive). I would definitely recommend. 😊
I have always really liked the Celine Nano Luggage. I've always been afraid that it's not a classic piece, but it's been around a long time now and you still see it! The Polene bag is a cutie!
i agree with you with all the minis you like. i like to have celine luggage nano, mini givenchy antigona and mini mullberry as well! i cant wait for you to have one of those to unbox😊
Great choice of bags on your radar! I own the Polene Huit and it's a beauty.........I get so many compliments and people always ask what I'm carrying since Polene is still not as recognisable yet. Most of my other bags are Chanel but I have to say the Polene bag gives me as much joy. It is incredible quality of leather and came in the best packaging!!
Great choices Amber! It is Pol en. The backward accent above the “e” makes it a short e sound. And they do make great bags. I have the little dumpling shaped one (used to be the numero onze - the 11- )and the leather is great!. The mulberry leather is also awesome! I’ve owned a mulberry bag but sold it before so g it because it was a tad too big for a crossbody for me. But the leather is just amazing! I’ve considered getting another one of the mini top handle bags
I love GIVENCHY .. I have the small soft Antigona and use it every day for work as i's very subtle and no-one knows it's designer except the people that KNOW designer ;) great video as always Amber xo
I own a Celine trio bag in a beautiful burgundy, a leather crossbody that consists of 3 pouches that snap and attach to each other. Sadly it’s discontinued and I am so happy I have it. I also own a Celine canvas pouch and it holds all my credit cards. Celine is a great brand that I recommend. One of my girlfriends own that mini Alexa in the Chestnut shade and it is more beautiful in person and holds a good amount of stuff. I want that now, too! 😅
I love your videos. I recommend polene I have 4 bags and I love them all, the quality is amazing the nano is very small it fits your phone a wallet and your keys and probably a card holder.
I have the mini Alexa in that cognac color and the Polene uno. They both fit a lot! The mulberry leather is gorgeous and the Polene bag is very durable! Haha I realize over the years I became a top handle get too! I love the look and appreciate that I can get and go 😊
Amber thanks for the video, my next brand bag is the Polene. I have 2 styles on my radar and I have sent one style to a friend for my birthday gift. 😂😂Polene#9 is my eye candy so thanks for the brand being an option of interest. Can wait to hear what you find out in your research.
AA coming over to the Mulberry side - good on you girl - the quality is second to none - yes expensive but you won’t regret pulling the trigger - I do have 3 - The Bayswater is just beautiful but my best friends dog chewed thru it’s strap handle grrrrrr
Amber i own Polen nano in black color and have matching card holder too ,very cute bag ,but also just let yoo know the hardware in all Polene bag are in 18 k gold plated. Good luck .
I have the Polene nano, I love it but the strap makes a squeaking sound lol. I didn’t hear it until I read someone else’s review about it but it’s still super cute & functional.
I own the Valentino Roman stud in the size large. I have a couple of videos on it. The quality is out of this world. The hardware doesn't scratch.. its amazing. The have a cool tone pink with the same color studs that is gorgeous.
I have the Alexa bag and is one of my favourites in my collection. Its a great travel bag as well because although the quality is amazing if you are not into bags it doesnt scream luxury bag.
Oh, totally forgot, I have a vintage celine triomphe probably from the 80’s. Mine is a shoulder bag, seems these bags did not have a crossbody length, but love it!
Polène, Tory Burch, Kate spade, Teddy Blake are the ones on my radar. I'd go after the first one soon because they know how popular they are and their prices have risen. You should also check out ferla.
I have the Valentino in black. But love it in pink. Fun video. I had a problem with a previous Valentino bag after I’d owned it about 5-6 months. Valentino wouldn’t fix it so Nordstroms returned my money. What’s that about? Hope it was just a problem with my particular bag. But no no Valentino. But I do love Valentino designs. Love your channel. 😁
Hi Amber, after seeing some people talking about mulberry I was looking into some of the bags, but if I remember correctly, on another video someone said that they are made in china ☹️😫 I think Givenchy bags are great, and I am also thinking to get a polene one to add to my collection. The Celine bag is gorgeous BUT gets super heavy.
I love polene. I have the un nano in midnight blue and the beri in a light grey color. The quality is great. I love the colors and shapes of their bags. I just got the nano un, but I've had the beri for a year and have used it as an everyday bag and to travel....so it's gotten a lot of use and still looks great. I think they're perfect for everyday and nights out.
Love polene! The quality is top notch. Same with mulberry. I want the mini Alexa too. I sold my oversized one and that was a mistake. Valentino bags preloved is the way to go, they lose value quickly.
Just received my Pochette Métis (black) in the mail today. Curious if the tip of the lock points up slightly? I’m not sure if it’s a flaw or not and I do not live close to a store to go check. Thanks!!
Hi Amber. Well done for spotting Mulberry. It's not raved about as much as the other luxury top dogs but this brand has so many different bags for all sorts of needs. I have the Lily in fuchsia pink which is really great as a small bag which fits a ton...easier to use than the Alexa which can be a bit annoying to open because of the two straps each side...though it doesn't have a top handle. I also have the Zipped Bayswater tote which you mentioned in, guess what....lavender pink (last year's seasonal colour which is now discontinued unfortunately). I bought it around the same time as the Marc Jacobs mini tote (same as you have but mine's in orange...again last year's seasonal colour). You'll find they are both very similar in size and versatility so highly recommend the Bayswater mini zipped tote 👍
I have all three bags and brands that you mentioned except the polenta.the quality of the other 4 brands is great.absolutely top notch.valentino stud bag is beautiful and functional. Celine luggage is iconic.i don't use mine too much coz I bought the large size and it's heavy.i juch bought another Celine bag.its just gorgeous. The leather n finish is to die for.i have two givenchy. Just beautiful. And a mulberry bayswater. The leather is like an hermes bag.cant go wrong
I loved todays video 😀 I heard about Polene through another influencer and she’s said nothing but good things I also love the choices you mentioned, so pretty and seem they would suit you 😊
Great video and love your pics!! I went to the new polene boutique in soho a couple weeks ago (part of one my recent shopping vlogs) and they have so many great bags. Definitely a few on my list for sure. Thanks for doing the tag!
The only bag i have of the ones you mentioned is the Polene. That bag is prettier in person and excellent quality. Very roomy for a small bag. I also love those Mulberry bags and am interested in them as well. That Celine bag though.. I just can’t get past the robot face🤣
This is a great list. I have a few of the bags on the list and the other two are on my wishlist. I believe the color for rockstud bag is “rose cannelle”. I stalked it for years (think I first saw Chase Amie with it) but couldn’t bring myself to pull the trigger because I felt it was too trendy and sooo pricey. I ended up finding a super great deal on (i think) 24S and haven’t looked back. I adore it. I would definitely recommend Polene. The quality is amazing and I love the shapes- I shave 2. I also have 2 Antigone’s - the “medium” that I use as a work bag and the smaller size which is great as a crossbody.
Omg!!! Love this video. I agree with you once again!! I actually just got the polene bag and I love it!!! I truly recommend it. The leather is beautiful and looks so much better in person. Such an underrated brand. I went to the city to purchase it. Only stores they have (for now!) NYC and Paris. Also want Valentino sandals. 😘
Amber I love the bags on your radar! Celine is like making its mark all the sudden and you hear about it everywhere! The Celine Nano belt bag is definitely on my hit radar🥰 I actually just got the Polene Un Nano bag in the black lizard croc edition. I LOVE this bag. It's simply, easy, and it a little edgy. I did a unboxing/mini review on it for my bday. I would say the pro's definitely out weight the con's. It has gone up a little since I received it, but I think its still so worth it!🤗
The luggage tote is one I been wanting too but in the next size up. It and Valentino resells terribly, which might be better to buy second hand. The Roman stud is beautiful. 😍 I personally like two from Valentino, but same reason makes me think which avenue I should go with to buy. At the same time, if it is a bag that you know you will love, brand new may be the best option. ❤ (Advice I am telling myself too. 😂)
Nice picks… umm polene… I have two of their bags, but they are definitely a contemporary brand, not a luxury brand. It seems as though they decided to call themselves luxury and everyone else followed suit, but we all know there is a lot more involved to be given that status, history, longevity, quality that has been consistent for many many years, and acceptance within the luxury community to start. They do have some different shapes, and used to offer a multitude of colors, they have scaled back though, so most of their offerings are neutrals, still pretty but basic colors. The leathers are of three varieties, the smooth leather that scratches easily, the textured leather, think saffiano, and the grained leather (I think that is how they reference it) which is a softer leather, and the best in my opinion. The Un is their flagship design and super cute, I believe they have discontinued two of the Un options, the backpack and the mini (selling off what is left in inventory), but the original Un and Nano are still available. The Un can be heavy but holds A LOT, and the nano is a bit of a tetris bag but super cute. A lot of people have noted the lack of symmetry in the too indentations on the front of the bag, I am not sure what to call them, and that the strap is really squeaky. Those are the pros and cons that I have experienced and have heard from others….. happy shopping
For the Celine Nano Luggage, heard that is quite heavy. For me i think the Mulberry Mini Bayswater look more timeless as compared to Celine Nano Luggage. Just my opinion. Understand Celine Nano Luggage Tote was once the hot thing many years ago but not so now. Haha was thinking in your list would have a Hermes quota bag i.e Berkin or Kelly but frankly these are not the most practical handbag. Wise choice 😍What about Loewe? Many have raved about this as well, but the prices are on the higher end too.
This is a great series! Top handles with crossbody straps are my go to too! I just tagged you in a video and I do cover Givenchy if you want to check it out. ❤️❤️
Mulberry is such great quality and one of the most underrated luxury brands. You will not regret purchasing a Mulberry bag!
I purchased the Valentino Rock Stud in black as an impulse purchase because I was going to an event in NYC. When I tell you that I use that bag WAY more than I ever thought I would, and when I'm not using it, I stare at it on the shelf because it's so beautiful! I love it and it was worth every penny.

Thank you 😊
I have always really liked the Celine Nano Luggage. I've always been afraid that it's not a classic piece, but it's been around a long time now and you still see it! The Polene bag is a cutie!
I totally recommend the Polene Numero Un nano! I have that bag in black grained leather and in camel smooth leather, and I love them!

Thank you 😊
I have a bag from Mulberry, great quality for on average 2 times cheaper than many other brands.
Thanks for sharing!

All those bags are so cute
The Polène numero un nano is on my wishlist for this year! The Alexa bag is great too and one I would have definitely bought if I had a bigger budget.
Thank you 🙏🏻
I saw the Givenchy antigona baby pinkin yoogis closet for 895 dollars so so pretty❤❤❤❤❤❤ I DM you the one I’m talking about

I have the exact Polene bag that you showed and I absolutely love it! I’m super impressed by the quality and Im definitely buying more colors.
All the bags are really nice 🙂😊
Thank you so much 😊
I have that Polene bag and it’s so good! I love it!
I’ve also been interested in that first mulberry bag!
Love polene! The quality is top notch. Same with mulberry. I want the mini Alexa too. I sold my oversized one and that was a mistake. Valentino bags preloved is the way to go, they lose value quickly.
Thank you 😊
I had the Celine nano, gorgeous bag! Very structured! Small, but a great crossbody. A bit too short for me.
Good to know! Thank you 😊
Do you still own you speedy 20? If not why did you get rid of it? I’m am considering buying one but I’m afraid it will be too small.
Yes I still own it and love it! I think I accidentally said 25 but I meant 20 🤪
Just received my Pochette Métis (black) in the mail today. Curious if the tip of the lock points up slightly? I’m not sure if it’s a flaw or not and I do not live close to a store to go check. Thanks!!
