I'm (fashionably) late to the party, but I have a grievance with Hermes: they may be at the apex of the luxury market, but as a matter or principle I would never patronize their stores, even if I could afford a Birkin or Kelly, for the simple reason that the staff make a concerted effort to be rude to customers. Hermes is notorious for hiring dismissive, arrogant staff and I believe it's become part of the brand's identity. Rudeness is never elegant!
ANYONE THAT BUYS Birken or Kelly THEY ARE OUT OUT OF THEIR MINDS ! I HAV MONEY I WOULD NEVER PURCHASE . And I can't stand this woman. Please ladies don't waste the money. Go buy a Benz !!! Worth it ? She's nuts. Like a creepy snob. Right ? This is so pretentious that it actually makes her low class. Trust me I hit the nail right on the head. She must get beat up alot . I will buy her a friggin bag ! Anything to shut her up. LOL OMG
@@tinacameron5526 yes….even 30s girls who can afford them think they’re too old….I’d say prob 35+ makes more sense😅and sometimes in workplace it’s too much for everyday wear
I really admire your honesty and transparency when talking about yourself and your background. You are a great mentor I've been loving learning so much from your channel
Lovely collection! I bought my first LV when I was 25 and I only used that bag a few times, haha. Also, love your clutch! I have an Eva clutch in the DE print and love the little chain. But I don’t want to spend so much money on it now, I have been *hotdups* buying the bag I want, it is as good as LV and is one of my favorite things. Durability
Yes. I love knockoffs. I know *jklux* has a lot of knockoffs in different styles. One of my favorite handbags is sold out but I've had it for 7 months haha!!!
Great video. Just had a chat with a friend about this. I've noticed a lot of influencers have the same items, shoes, bags, clothes, sunglasses, etc. There's a worrying lack of individuality. My nightmare is walking into a room and seeing myself everywhere. I love the *jklux* bag right now because I find it unique, and the impetus to buy and spend your hard earned money should be because you "like" it. Conspicuous consumption is never a good thing, uniqueness is a mark of pride.
Something I like about Anna is that when she is explaining she is also adding her experience and any of her past mistakes and what she did about it. It shows that she is still learning along with us kinda like a big sister/mentor. 🥰
Which style do you own? I am looking to purchase a Mina tote. I am unsure whether to get the medium or the smaller 25 size. I also was wondering how the weight of the bag is? Wear and tear? Thoughts?
I still love my LV reverse monogram LYXBAG clutch! It's versatile, fits a variety of items, and is definitely a workhorse! I think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof that it's already a classic.
Well, I’ve always been scratching my head about *topluxs* obsession with school bags and their practicality, but this video is adorable! Congratulations.
After getting fed up with seeing the same bags over and over. I bought myself a medium size structure black Italian leather bag for maybe $400. I love it soooo much more.
Nice ! I don't spend more than about $500 on bags anymore since there are so many out there that are great around that price point (if someone wants to gift a more expensive one - fine). The nice thing is that it means there's more money to put in it (or in my TFSA)! Also, the value of a good bag is really in the way it ages too...
Absolutely. I do the same thing. I purchase bags from companies like Aspinal of London. They are easily as well made, and as stylish, as any "designer" handbag, for a tenth of the price. My investment was in my education, and I buy my own handbags.
If you ever have the opportunity to travel to Italy, take the chance to buy bags in small local boutiques that sell what they produce themselves instead of big brands. Those small stores usually have the same same level of craftsmanship as known brands and also get their leather, silk, and wool from the very same providers as designer stuff. You can get much higher quality, more exclusive designs and even more elegance at an affordable price shopping in those small unknown underrated boutiques than getting designer stuff that everyone has. Always look for craftsmanship, quality, durability and elegance, not just a stupid brand.
Have you considered vintage or consignment stores? There are many online options such as Vestiaire Collective (I mention them because I have personal experience buying through them and have had no issues). Alternatively, look into brands like Aspinal of London, Furla or other Italian designers that are not as well known. The quality can often be on par or better than really high-end brands. Failing all this, if you have a cheaper leather handbag you can sometimes make it look more luxe with tasteful accessories (think a silk scarf tied on the handles).
St. Laurent bag is a great first designer bag! I’ve loved YSL forever. Yves was the first designer to popularize and also make it acceptable for women to wear tuxedo trousers and blazers as evening wear. He wanted women to be comfortable in their clothes.
I like the videos at the beginning personally because at the end of it goes to another one of her videos that I am interested I watched that video. Then I forget to thumbs up the initial video. Best to just get the LIKE out the way at the beginning... for me anyway.
What I really like about your content is that you put disclaimer on your recommendations. You understand that everyone has her own taste and budget. And you do stick to the brand “elegance”. I love your top 10 choice bags and I would invest in that St Laurent bag if I’d buy a luxury everyday bag.
I’m an 18 year old girl from Saudi Arabia 🖤 thank you anna for teaching me to look elegant and beautiful, I appreciate myself now more than i used to 🖤 I trying my best to level up to have a great future , thank you so much anna , all the love goes to you🖤🖤
Salaam sister Im from Somalia but born and live in UAE and I 100% agree with you 👌 I became more aware of what I wear or how do I behave because of Anna videos ☺
Salam sisters, I'm from Chechnya, Ive been in Dubai a week ago)) I also enjoy watching Anna's videos, though not planning to catch a rich man or sth, lol.
My first designer bag was the Saint Laurent SDJ when it came out - still holding up it shape till now. Totally agree with your opinion and have a similar style, just got the Celine classic last year and very pleased with my purchase. Great video!
This video is sooo appreciated! I’m definitely going to look into buying one or two bags from this list. I love how sleek and polished they are. I would love a video like this with wardrobe (some staple luxury/designer wardrobe pieces you think are worth buying).
I have a beautiful Coach bag in Lilac with Silver hardware, I love it. But ive recently just brought a M Fendi Baguette wide strap in pale Blue and it is honestly one of my favourite bags at the moment, an i don't have many.
I prefer the Hermes Lindy -- I have it in several colors, it is very discrete, not heavy for its size, and it is easy to take my things from one bag to the other -- everything is in a purse organizer and in the same place. For its profile, it holds a lot! I also like the Bottega Veneta double chain tote, again it has a flat profile but holds a lot, with no logos. It's great to watch you moving into your cool color wardrobe, with the icy lemon sweater here and the lavender sweater, and the cool rose lipstick. The pastels are very flattering and very soft -- easy to watch and so feminine.
You got a great taste in bags! Most of the time I'm shopping on the budget but choosing simple shapes , good leather, no logos and no extra stuff is a way to go! For me personally!
The bag I find super classy (& the one that is my dream bag) is the Delvaux Brillant, I don't see it often but it's such a beautiful bag and their craftmanship is amazing!
I like Delvaux but not Moynat. Delvaux bags look clean, classy, and expensive. Moynat bags look to be mid level bags because the design is kind of meh.
Please make a video of flat covered shoes/sneakers that are classic or at least elegant looking. I have a problem with my feet and I cannot wear heels or anything flimsy anymore :( I would appreciate it a lot and I'm sure some more mature women the same.
kileaste same. I have wide flat BIG feet and it’s the hardest part of dressing. Top that with a tarsal coalition and heels have been removed from the equation at the tender age of 27 years old
Honey, I walked around in high heels for ever. Now, I am 57. Every thing was hurting. Me knee, hip, and back. My arches fell. Went to a good shoe store and got measurements. Size seven to a five and a half. My advice is to try Arcopedico from Peru. I am seeking out some shoes for dressy occasions. Hard to look classy limping around.
Yes, a flat shoe guide would be nice. Take a hint from Queen Elizabeth and rather than super flat, wear a 1 - 2 inch heel often the most comfy. I love a ballet flat but the rounded toe is too casual for evening.
Absolutely! I love the Katherine/Audrey Hepburn look (brogues/flats with small heel/kitten heels). I have flat feet and bunions and incredibly bony feet with almost zero padding so comfort is KING. Can't go wrong with brogues. Puma makes pretty gorgeous and affordable sneakers, especially their fashion designer collabs.
i don’t even know why i’m not even into elegant fashion i still love watching your channel and exploring other people’s fashion and lifestyle. and like other people are saying, i love the way you word everything anna!
@@ellesam3348 Moi aussi, je suis trop contente qu'elle ait sorti cette vidéo. Et je penche pour le Sac De Jour de Saint-Laurent pour mon premier achat :-)
belcalis déjà c’est pas n’importe qui cette dame, c’est une connaisseuse habituée de la upper-class et comme je voudrais Upgrade ma vie j’ai besoin de conseils de qqn qui s’y connaît
Im not that type of i buy expensive stuff but this gives also the idea of how it should look like in order to be classy or elegant This is finally giving me some idea of what elegant is Its good to finally be able to learn more about the elegance or just a few things to pick up for a better business-style
my first bag was a mollerus. its a swiss brand(im from switzerland). The price was about 700€. I mean a bag for 2000$ is affordable , but a bag for 20 000$? I mean 90% of anas followers cant afford that expensive bag🤭(me too). But i love this video, because i learned that my next bag wont have a big logo 😃
I’ve had my eye on the Sac De Jour 🥰 I agree- I love the structured look. It’s simple, minimal, and just classic 👌🏼 many people overlook this and would rather buy an LV never full
Anna I remember first seeing your videos I wasn’t quite sure how to take your advice. Someone had left a negative comment about you which was quite mean and degrading to which of course, you did not respond to. With each new video you have put out it is clear that you are the complete opposite of what the comment was about. You have so much class and you’re highly intelligent and I must say that you have to be commended for achieving so much for a young woman. It takes years for most women to learn what you already know at your age. Well done I truly admire you 🙏 I wish I could turn back time and start again with your valuable lessons in mind. EDIT: May I add, you speak so eloquently with such a lovely accent. I can listen to you all day ❤️
Love your taste and selections, Anna. I thought I may be the only consumer who does not care for overstated logos; I’m pleased to know that you and others prefer a more elegant logo choice.
I'm with you, K Taylor. Why do people wear logos all over their bodies to impress each other? My good quality bags have the smallest logos I can find or no logos at all.
I have been following you for such a long time on facebook and Instagram, i just like the fact that you keep everything real. You proposed expensive and affordable bags which i really appreciate. Thank you! Hope you hit the million soon🤗
omg! you have brought beautiful colors on your clothes! Im sooooooooo happy u took the course! you have always looked beautiful, but it is amazing changed!! well done!
The Fendi Peekaboo is everything. We really appreciate you sharing. Honest and straight to the point. I watch other UA-cam channels, and I have to fast forward through the fluff. When I am here I don’t want to miss 1 word. Thanks again
I am so so in love with the bottega bags 💼 😱 thank you for taking your time to do this amazing video and keeping me posted on “ everything “. I do appreciate it.
Well done again. May I suggest that you do a video to complement this one, about how to achieve the perfect elegant posture for sitting, standing and walking? It won't do much good having the bag if you can't walk the walk...
This is my first (but not the last) purchase of a D U P B A G Y bag. For the affordable price, it exceeded my expectations! It's soft, the perfect size, and the color is gorgeous! Love this bag!
Italian bag designer Valextra makes super-chic, understated elegant bags as well and hardly anyone else has them, let alone knows about them. If you’re in a financial pinch, you can still afford elegant bags in classic, streamlined shapes without compromising on quality. Pierotucci in Florence and Milan will makes these bags in classic shapes for you and you get to choose the leather and colour. You can either order online or go to their stores and they make amazing bags at a fraction of what the big name designer bags cost.
Shortcake07 You are right, there are many great italian not popular brands that makes amazing bags, which are elegant, classy, materials are good quality and craftmenship is amazing. It does not necessary have to be designer brand. I agree with you.
I love your videos. This one hits home for me because I’ve never been one to spend a lot of money on hand bags. I could never afford 2000.00 or more for a bag. And if I could afford it, I still wouldn’t do it. I wouldn’t buy something with a logo to advertise a company for them. I also think the elegant lady makes the outfit, not the accessories.
Celine bags were in the top 10 best selling rankings a couple of years ago, but the designer quit. But anyone is wanting for her to start working in a new fashion house or her own
@@hiwelcometochillis2579 yeah, heard about that. Where I live, EVRERYONE has the phantom bag. While it's a decent bag, I am disappointed to have not seen a single classic bag. It's stunning!
The YSL Sac du Jour & Céline are my favorites, love the minimalist look. Hermès bags are too classic for my taste. In France, old ladies wore it a lot in the 50s-60s, I imagine it stuck with me.
I looooove the Celine box bag and one day when I’ll have the money I definitely will get it for myself ❤️ i don’t like big logos and for example the prints from Louis Vuitton seem to be everywhere
Anna knows! I’m in love with with the YSL Sac de Jour. I am going to Florence this Fall, my first trip to Europe. I may pick up a classic leather bag during my vist💋
The Hermes Bolide bag is a classic, without the showy hardware of the Constance. It is timeless, elegant and versatile. My husband selected it over other Hermes models, and loves whenever I wear it because he loves the lines of it. Since it is one of Hermes’ original bags from the 1920s, most people who know the line immediately recognize it without labels. I would consider it for a first Hermes bag, although it was not in my case, because it is so versatile and can be easier to obtain than certain others.
Anna...can you please consider updating this video? Since the original post, we've been through a little over two years of a global pandemic. Some of us are trying to figure out how to reinvent after two years of WFH and isolation. Thank you.
What are your thoughts on the Givenchy Antigonia bag? I’ve been thinking about investing in a mini or small, would you also consider this to be a good purchase.
Love this video as well. You are so on point at describing the bags, especially the Kelly, Capucine, and Peek-a-Boo. Love your videos and it was definitely entertaining to watch!
Anna, the colour of the top you are wearing looks so good on you. I think we might have the same skin tone and eye colour. I love to wear pink but I don't know what shade suits me. Do you have tips? Or will you perhaps make a video about this? That would be amazing. Love from The Netherlands
Anna, please make elegant fashion videos for young girls as well, who are in their early twenties like 21 plus and university going. It is really exhausting to decide which style should we prefer because if we go for pastel colors we are considered too minimal of our age and if we go for dark and mixed colors it seems too much. Also, it is hard to decide bags, heels and what not. I hope you will consider this request.
I'm very happy with the LYXBAG package. Beautiful storage compartments. Looks and feels like leather. The shoulder straps and zipper are of high quality. Very happy with the purchase.
I recently gave my sister a *rrcopys* luxury tote for her birthday and she was so excited! It's safe to say *rrcopys* has become her new favorite brand. I'm going to get one for myself too!
I'm not a woman, but I believe you are helping out American women look classy, which is not the norm. There are so many brand freaks, people wear everything with logos and the look like billboards. I can stand how people dress any more.
My dream bags are in your list, and I agree about the meaning behind these elegant bags. I like the small to mini size with minimal showing off logos. Thanks for the information.
Would love to see a video about smelling elegant! That's one of my New Year's resolutions. Anna, I would love to have your take on different universal elegant scents, fragrances, and what you like to use to smell elegant!
What a beautiful sweater! You look gorgeous! Please share where you purchased it and are you wearing something underneath that makes it look so smooth and flattering?
Hobbs do a version of the St Laurent bag in croc embossed leather for just over £200. Radley's current range includes croc embossed similarly shaped bags. Look out also for Strathberry, Mulberry's zipped Bayswater and JP Tod bags. Teddy Blake and Everlane offer collections made in Italy, but if you are in Florence, check out Parri- they have exquisite hand made classic shaped bags. .
Thank you for making this video Anna! This was so helpful because I’m starting to cultivate my wardrobe and I needed this advice on which handbag to get first. I think I’ll be going with the capucine💕
'm very happy with the *rrcopys* package. Beautiful storage compartments. Looks and feels like leather. The shoulder straps and zipper are of high quality. Very happy with the purchase.
sometimes i find i get a little frustrated watching certain videos of yours, but i really like your wording. i think in this video you came off more soft, understanding and looked at a lot of different viewpoints. thank you, also great content😀
Love the new background Anna! Thank you for all your effort you put in, much appreciated! Would love to hear/see about your elegant role models. You are and look stunning 😍 💝🎀
"They are very expensive, unless you have a parter who can buy it for you"🙌, preach girlfriend. Thank you for reminding me whose responsibility it is when it comes to breaking the bank!❤ Ps; Today you surely exude glamour, class n style. I see lots of "body image consultancy" everyday, but today you are over the moon. Love all the colours on you. And the hairstyle suits you perfectly
agree with you. Don't like large logos, so tacky.
It goes for clothes too. I get so angry when there is a beautiful jacket only to have a big logo 😭
Logos scream desperation. I definitely agree- so tacky!
Agreed, I see a beautiful and simple bag but it has the brand name plasted on the front.🤦♀️
Agree. Brands should be recognized for design and quality not logo
What about the homeless people on the street? Is it more important to spend money on a bag or helping people survive?
I find it classy she never brought out her bags
You're so much right

yeah most brands do that to make themselves seem more exclusive.
ANYONE THAT BUYS Birken or Kelly THEY ARE OUT OUT OF THEIR MINDS ! I HAV MONEY I WOULD NEVER PURCHASE . And I can't stand this woman. Please ladies don't waste the money. Go buy a Benz !!! Worth it ? She's nuts. Like a creepy snob. Right ? This is so pretentious that it actually makes her low class. Trust me I hit the nail right on the head. She must get beat up alot . I will buy her a friggin bag ! Anything to shut her up. LOL OMG
Birkin bags are hideous and boring (grandma style) imo
@@tinacameron5526 Jeffree Star is a collector of Birkin bags, and that says everything.
@@tinacameron5526 yes….even 30s girls who can afford them think they’re too old….I’d say prob 35+ makes more sense😅and sometimes in workplace it’s too much for everyday wear
I really admire your honesty and transparency when talking about yourself and your background. You are a great mentor I've been loving learning so much from your channel

I can't agree more. She is absolutely lovely!
La sakoj ene de *hotdups* estas perfektaj kiel donacoj por amikoj. La prezo ne estas alta kaj la kvalito estas bona.
En el momento en que vi el bolso *hotdups* , supe que tenía que tenerlo
I love these beautiful little purses, *gtdupe* they are great. Good luck!
*esluxy* Bolsa réplica 1:1 con imagen reflejada, resistente y resistente al desgaste. Me gusta mucho.

Not in Australia. They're anywhere from $2455 - 4000 roughly.

I personally love Coach and Angela Roi 😊
There's many similar silhouettes at non-designer stores/brands. Aldo, Nordstrom Rack, Marshalls, Target, etc.
You get what you pay for.

Would definitely want to see a video of how you dress, most especially types of tailored pants you wear. Thanks for this video love you.❤
Me too dresses are easy certain trousers maybe not especially if you dont have a flattering bottom

@@yukisuperstylish I totally agree with you!
Coach is not designer. Its a contemporary brand
Coach is contemporary tho... I used to think it was designer in high school tho
I love my American Made full leather Black Dooney & Bourke Boho bag. 6 years wears like a tank. Looks brand new! Very funky chic.
I’ve always said logos on bags and such are so tacky as well. Love it!

Can't go wrong with brogues. Puma makes pretty gorgeous and affordable sneakers, especially their fashion designer collabs.
Very good info! I look forward to your “less expensive bags for beginners” video though...
Yes, especially because most followers are not wealthy UA-cam subs.
Anna you are the big sister i’ve always wanted!!!! 😂😂❤️ I love every single one of your videos. Xxxxxxxxx
i don’t even know why i’m not even into elegant fashion i still love watching your channel and exploring other people’s fashion and lifestyle. and like other people are saying, i love the way you word everything anna!
J’espérais vraiment qu’elle fasse une vidéo dessus avant de m’acheter mon nouveau sac et elle l’a fait. Je suis trop contente.
Joëlle Vanu lol et quel est ton choix?
@@ellesam3348 Moi aussi, je suis trop contente qu'elle ait sorti cette vidéo. Et je penche pour le Sac De Jour de Saint-Laurent pour mon premier achat :-)
achete toi ce que tu aimes, pas ce que une meuf de l internet trouve beau
Rachel Régent pareil, c mon coup de cœur
belcalis déjà c’est pas n’importe qui cette dame, c’est une connaisseuse habituée de la upper-class et comme je voudrais Upgrade ma vie j’ai besoin de conseils de qqn qui s’y connaît
In general I agree with Anna's aesthetic and I love her comments on preferring No logos.
Daily wardrobe options for errands, please! My uniform is boots, coat and bag but it gets boring!
Lovely video as usual, Anna!
Im not that type of i buy expensive stuff but this gives also the idea of how it should look like in order to be classy or elegant
This is finally giving me some idea of what elegant is
Its good to finally be able to learn more about the elegance or just a few things to pick up for a better business-style
dear anna
can you make a video like this, but with similar
fashion pieces for a lower budget?
Not fast fashion ..(you know what i mean🥰)
Agree...for now,these bags arenot afforadable for me 😯😯
I like Brahmin handbags. Look it up. I also have a few I have found at thrift stores and consignment shops. There is also a Facebook group.
Bags from Guess are very nice as well!
my first bag was a mollerus. its a swiss brand(im from switzerland). The price was about 700€. I mean a bag for 2000$ is affordable , but a bag for 20 000$? I mean 90% of anas followers cant afford that expensive bag🤭(me too).
But i love this video, because i learned that my next bag wont have a big logo 😃
Maimuna May Love those!
I’m getting addicted to this channel..🦋
Love you Anna🌹You are truly changing my life for the better and for that thank you so much.
I’ve had my eye on the Sac De Jour 🥰 I agree- I love the structured look. It’s simple, minimal, and just classic 👌🏼 many people overlook this and would rather buy an LV never full
Anna I remember first seeing your videos I wasn’t quite sure how to take your advice. Someone had left a negative comment about you which was quite mean and degrading to which of course, you did not respond to. With each new video you have put out it is clear that you are the complete opposite of what the comment was about. You have so much class and you’re highly intelligent and I must say that you have to be commended for achieving so much for a young woman. It takes years for most women to learn what you already know at your age. Well done I truly admire you 🙏 I wish I could turn back time and start again with your valuable lessons in mind.
EDIT: May I add, you speak so eloquently with such a lovely accent. I can listen to you all day ❤️
Love your taste and selections, Anna. I thought I may be the only consumer who does not care for overstated logos; I’m pleased to know that you and others prefer a more elegant logo choice.
I'm with you, K Taylor. Why do people wear logos all over their bodies to impress each other? My good quality bags have the smallest logos I can find or no logos at all.
you look beautiful today anna. i love the colors you're trying recently.
I have been following you for such a long time on facebook and Instagram, i just like the fact that you keep everything real. You proposed expensive and affordable bags which i really appreciate. Thank you! Hope you hit the million soon🤗
The Constance bag is so beautiful and clean. It’s my holy grail bag.
Love the video great choices. Only one thing is Celine definitely isn’t “more affordable”. It’s $4000.00
omg! you have brought beautiful colors on your clothes! Im sooooooooo happy u took the course! you have always looked beautiful, but it is amazing changed!! well done!
The Fendi Peekaboo is everything. We really appreciate you sharing. Honest and straight to the point. I watch other UA-cam channels, and I have to fast forward through the fluff. When I am here I don’t want to miss 1 word.
Thanks again
I am so so in love with the bottega bags 💼 😱 thank you for taking your time to do this amazing video and keeping me posted on “ everything “. I do appreciate it.
the fendi peekaboo is so simple and sleek omg definitely im gonna buy it
Well done again. May I suggest that you do a video to complement this one, about how to achieve the perfect elegant posture for sitting, standing and walking? It won't do much good having the bag if you can't walk the walk...
Ughhhh i love this idea
This is my first (but not the last) purchase of a D U P B A G Y bag. For the affordable price, it exceeded my expectations! It's soft, the perfect size, and the color is gorgeous! Love this bag!
Italian bag designer Valextra makes super-chic, understated elegant bags as well and hardly anyone else has them, let alone knows about them.
If you’re in a financial pinch, you can still afford elegant bags in classic, streamlined shapes without compromising on quality. Pierotucci in Florence and Milan will makes these bags in classic shapes for you and you get to choose the leather and colour. You can either order online or go to their stores and they make amazing bags at a fraction of what the big name designer bags cost.
Thank you ♡
Shortcake07 You are right, there are many great italian not popular brands that makes amazing bags, which are elegant, classy, materials are good quality and craftmenship is amazing. It does not necessary have to be designer brand. I agree with you.
I love your videos. This one hits home for me because I’ve never been one to spend a lot of money on hand bags. I could never afford 2000.00 or more for a bag. And if I could afford it, I still wouldn’t do it. I wouldn’t buy something with a logo to advertise a company for them. I also think the elegant lady makes the outfit, not the accessories.
I love that Celine bag too. It's so underrated
Celine bags were in the top 10 best selling rankings a couple of years ago, but the designer quit. But anyone is wanting for her to start working in a new fashion house or her own
@@hiwelcometochillis2579 yeah, heard about that. Where I live, EVRERYONE has the phantom bag. While it's a decent bag, I am disappointed to have not seen a single classic bag. It's stunning!
Celine really does have some nice bags
The YSL Sac du Jour & Céline are my favorites, love the minimalist look. Hermès bags are too classic for my taste. In France, old ladies wore it a lot in the 50s-60s, I imagine it stuck with me.
I looooove the Celine box bag and one day when I’ll have the money I definitely will get it for myself ❤️ i don’t like big logos and for example the prints from Louis Vuitton seem to be everywhere
I am so glad I watched this video. I’m not a fan of bags but the last two brands really fit my style!
Great video. Are there any non-leather bags you’d recommend? Or non major designer bags? Just curious. Thanks.
glo vez Stella McCartney!
Anna knows! I’m in love with with the YSL Sac de Jour. I am going to Florence this Fall, my first trip to Europe. I may pick up a classic leather bag during my vist💋
The Hermes Bolide bag is a classic, without the showy hardware of the Constance. It is timeless, elegant and versatile. My husband selected it over other Hermes models, and loves whenever I wear it because he loves the lines of it. Since it is one of Hermes’ original bags from the 1920s, most people who know the line immediately recognize it without labels. I would consider it for a first Hermes bag, although it was not in my case, because it is so versatile and can be easier to obtain than certain others.
I'm always amazed by how unbiased you can be!!
I agree with everyone. I am gearing up for the Christmas Sales so this came at the right time.
The Céline and Bottega are definitely my favorites. J’adore ✨
Anna...can you please consider updating this video? Since the original post, we've been through a little over two years of a global pandemic. Some of us are trying to figure out how to reinvent after two years of WFH and isolation. Thank you.
What are your thoughts on the Givenchy Antigonia bag? I’ve been thinking about investing in a mini or small, would you also consider this to be a good purchase.
The Sac de Jour is so 😍
You look so beautiful in this video, Anna. The yellow top, the background, all of it, is so elegant and lovely.
Love you Anna. Great list. I love the Kelly and the Celine, but I think your last choice was a great practical bag for beginners. Thank you.
Love this video as well. You are so on point at describing the bags, especially the Kelly, Capucine, and Peek-a-Boo. Love your videos and it was definitely entertaining to watch!
Anna, the colour of the top you are wearing looks so good on you. I think we might have the same skin tone and eye colour. I love to wear pink but I don't know what shade suits me. Do you have tips? Or will you perhaps make a video about this? That would be amazing. Love from The Netherlands
I like the Celine Classic crossbag
Anna, please make elegant fashion videos for young girls as well, who are in their early twenties like 21 plus and university going. It is really exhausting to decide which style should we prefer because if we go for pastel colors we are considered too minimal of our age and if we go for dark and mixed colors it seems too much. Also, it is hard to decide bags, heels and what not. I hope you will consider this request.
I'm very happy with the LYXBAG package. Beautiful storage compartments. Looks and feels like leather. The shoulder straps and zipper are of high quality. Very happy with the purchase.
That Kelly Pochette is really cute. I had never heard of it before.
it was a nice secret while it lasted lololol
Thanks for teaching me how to pronounce the names of the bags. Sounds very authentic!
I own the YSL Sac de Jour. I love it! My next one will be my peekaboo. I agree with you. Don’t like the big logos too much.
I recently gave my sister a *rrcopys* luxury tote for her birthday and she was so excited! It's safe to say *rrcopys* has become her new favorite brand. I'm going to get one for myself too!
I'm not a woman, but I believe you are helping out American women look classy, which is not the norm. There are so many brand freaks, people wear everything with logos and the look like billboards. I can stand how people dress any more.
My dream bags are in your list, and I agree about the meaning behind these elegant bags. I like the small to mini size with minimal showing off logos. Thanks for the information.
She has grown so much 😭 I’m so proud of her ❤️❤️
Absolutely love, love, love you dear Anna!! So stylish and effortlessly classy!!💖
I know this video is about bags... But those ammonites though 😍🤤
Same thought! 🤗🤗😘😘😍😍
the same! i was unable to focus on bags:)
beautiful..right?
Would love to see a video about smelling elegant! That's one of my New Year's resolutions. Anna, I would love to have your take on different universal elegant scents, fragrances, and what you like to use to smell elegant!
Omg yes!!
What a beautiful sweater! You look gorgeous! Please share where you purchased it and are you wearing something underneath that makes it look so smooth and flattering?
I kept thinking the same thing. This yellow and the baby blue she wore previously look stunning x Anna is beautiful inside and out x
Yes those pastel colors flatter her skin tone very well
The Celine Box Bag is on my wish list. Since the H on the Constance is a bit loud to me. Love it!
I really want to own the Saint Laurent Sac du jour..
I really love these types of videos because I'm trying so hard to invest into staple pieces and be done with the FAST FASHION😬
Exactly I’m doing my best not to focus on trends but classic staple pieces as well 🤎
Thank you Ana I'm taking notes for my first luxery bag purchase! 😁
Hello My dear ,With the world going crazy it is so refreshing to see you a beautiful lady sharing her talents and gifts.
Hobbs do a version of the St Laurent bag in croc embossed leather for just over £200. Radley's current range includes croc embossed similarly shaped bags. Look out also for Strathberry, Mulberry's zipped Bayswater and JP Tod bags. Teddy Blake and Everlane offer collections made in Italy, but if you are in Florence, check out Parri- they have exquisite hand made classic shaped bags. .
I love this yellow color on you! You look so fresh!
Wow Anna, that image consulting training is really paying off! You look great in this colour!
I love your shirt! Could I ask what brand is it? I've been looking for elegant t-shirts just like yours, and have had a hard time finding them :(
Green Lean It maybe St. John?
The variety of textures in the *topluxs* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
Thank you for making this video Anna! This was so helpful because I’m starting to cultivate my wardrobe and I needed this advice on which handbag to get first. I think I’ll be going with the capucine💕
'm very happy with the *rrcopys* package. Beautiful storage compartments. Looks and feels like leather. The shoulder straps and zipper are of high quality. Very happy with the purchase.
sometimes i find i get a little frustrated watching certain videos of yours, but i really like your wording. i think in this video you came off more soft, understanding and looked at a lot of different viewpoints. thank you, also great content😀
His HIDUPZ tote is beautifully colored, very sturdy and the perfect size. Not too small, not too big. I look forward to joining my rotation.
Love the new background Anna! Thank you for all your effort you put in, much appreciated!
Would love to hear/see about your elegant role models.
You are and look stunning 😍 💝🎀
"They are very expensive, unless you have a parter who can buy it for you"🙌, preach girlfriend. Thank you for reminding me whose responsibility it is when it comes to breaking the bank!❤
Ps; Today you surely exude glamour, class n style. I see lots of "body image consultancy" everyday, but today you are over the moon.
Love all the colours on you. And the hairstyle suits you perfectly
