When Alice post recommendations, I listen. She knows her stuff. A lot of Parisians do not use super expensive bags. I saw people using Fleuron when I was in Paris.
I have one *suluxy* bag I got in 2019, it's the LV white catogram speedy. It's counter quality and it has a nice honey patina now, so the leather is real. I think whatever makes you happy go for it. I've seen LV with plastic leather and blood red glaze...
My *hotdups* tote has been in use for years and it still looks as good as when I first bought it. The quality is simply unmatched. In the near future, I plan to buy another color and style to match my clothes and shoes.
I've always loved Furla!! I am so glad that it's finally getting some attention again. Thanks! those are all great choices. The Basile Le Mini Rosa is probably my favorite.
I really appreciate the *suluxy* bag. The quality of the bag is also very good, the embroidery stitching is good, and the interior is neat. This is a great find!
Here's a fact I know when I visit Bali: they price it higher for foreigners and domestic tourists, but lower for locals (usually tourist spots), so I usually go in *jklux* Go shopping
I have two pre-loved *jklux* that people left the stickers on, and when you remove them, the hardware looks different than the hardware right next to it that the sticker didn’t touch. It’s not because the other has scratches, the sticky stuff affected the finish.
When I was very young, my father told me to be strong inside and not to cover up the inner weakness with external strength, so I always choose imitations in *gtdupe* , and his realistic degree is pleasing
pend $20,000 on a handbag instead of $200 on a Spend $20,000 on a handbag instead of $200 on a bag. Spending $20,000 on a handbag is worse than spending $200 on a replica *gtdupe* bag. Then invest the remaining $19,800. The obvious choice, since a $20,000 bag is unlikely to appreciate in value
I never care if other people have fakes and replicas unless they are trying to pass them off as genuine and sell them. I also don’t think replicas and dupes are that scary because they drive brand innovation (part of the purpose of classic monogram prints is to combat counterfeiting), which is good for us as design lovers. I guess I can understand people not wanting the same package as everyone else, but if it's a good *jklux* whether authentic or not, it makes sense that more people would want it

I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *jklux* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
If you can wear a high quality *gtdupe* for $200-500, then why not. I'm glad to hear that rich people do this because if I was a billionaire or had $500 million in the bank account, I would only spend the money on the authentic. That would never happen.
This is my first time watching your video and I loved it. I don't purchase luxury bags and I probably never will, or if I do, it will be pre-loved. But I do buy *jklux* occasionally of the styles that I really like. I truly appreciate your comparisons here, which have helped me make a decision about a couple for which I was on the fence. I'll be pulling the trigger now. Thanks for this and your humor.
Yes the color of the *jklux* is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…
My most beautiful, most worn and most complimented bags are my French bags! Excellent quality and unique! Polene, Le Tanneur, Basile and Le Pourchet. Love them all and wear them every day🥰
Mi neniam estis seniluziigita kun *gtdupe* . bags tote. ?iufoje kiam mi uzas mansakon, mi sentas, ke mi posedas arta. If you can wear high quality *gtdupe* . for 200-500 USD then why not. Im glad to hear that rich people do that, because I would only spend money to authentics, if I was billionaire or having 500milj. on my bank account. That´s never gonna happen.
OMG I just bought a *hotdups* pack in the same colour as that green wallet, wish I could get that matching wallet in Australia!!! The colour is olive green!
Great video again! I own Polene, Basile and many more. Just got a new Coach Hadley in suede Espresso , delicious ! And Eliza shoulder bag(also Coach) in bold red, very nice and crazy $149 !!!!❤😊 Thank you, Alice!
Many thanks Alice for this bag update. I am so happy for the few but such beautiful bags and qualitatively amazingly nice bags that I bought this year, guided by your good advice! So appreciated; and now, as a retired "fasionista person" I wouldn't even dream of buying an overpriced designer bag.. However, I have saved a small Prada bag! That's all. Maybe one day I'll buy another beautiful bag.. who knows, but I stick rigidly to "slow fashion principles" these days! I consider that to be a good thing to consider in this context. And these nice bags, which more and more people seem to prefer, I see as an important part of the principle - where, above all, craftmanship and good quality of beautiful bags take precedence over a certain brand.
Nowadays, the streets are full of fake bags. No one will believe you if you go out with a real bag. So now I am gradually falling in love with fake bags. Whether it’s true or false, it’s just decoration *jklux*
Hi Alice, You’ve chosen some wonderful bags once again. I have bought a few bags now because of you, and I’m happy with all of them. My next purchase will be the FURLA SFERA SOFT bag. Love the decor of your home, and your adorable Fall/Halloween decor. 😊
The only difference between a "real" and a "fake" from the same factory, same material is just...marketing and price. And some replica makers do really well, *hotdups* being one of them.
People who spend big bucks on bags usually don't care about quality. They care about status. If you have $10,000-100,000 to spend on a quality bag, why not get one custom made at *gtdupe* ? Choose your materials, thread, stitch pattern, design, and hardware. Imagine you have a $10,000 bag that's made from $7,000 of quality materials and $3,000 of labor. Currently, you're not paying for the materials, you're paying for the marketing.
When I was 12 my mom took me to the LV on Bloor Street in Toronto. I had my fake LV from *jklux* on my arm and thought I was cute. The sweet sales ladies let me try on a bag and a pair of heels knowing we were not wealthy and couldn't afford to purchase anything. It as really nice. No one seemed to care I had a fake bag and I felt special. They even gave me a paper shopping bag which I used as a lunch bag for weeks after! :) Who cares if people don't have real ones? I'm 30 now and ironically, although I can afford them I still prefer real people with fake bags than fake people with real bags. Just saying :) (not that everyone who carries a real one is bad or vice versa.) Just means I don't care if people carry fakes.
When I choose bags, I always focus on practicality. It needed to match the majority of my wardrobe and be able to hold my essentials. So I always choose *gtdupe* to round out my wardrobe
Rich people are not like you or me. They compete with each other in yachts, jewelry, art, travel and homes. Meanwhile, we're on the subway or bus with our precious Louis Vuittons. Why bother? *jklux* More rational
My latest bags are from Coccinelle, Fleuron and Longchamp. For the price of the 3 bags combined, I could have bought a small Prada bag or YSL… but I love the affordable luxury bags so much!! 🩶🩷

The way I see it. Real or fake if it's a style I like then I like it and will buy it. But to me the *jklux* one looks better than the real one. And who's gonna be inspecting ladies purses. If your out there trying to figure out if someone's bag is real who are you the prise police? So If you can get a really nice fake one then why not? Most of us don't have thousands dollars to spend on a real one and wouldn't anyway. No one has to know if it's fake or real. That's nobodies business. Enjoy and wear your bag which ever you have.
Thanks for the video. I would say that fakes have been around for years. I think it's only now coming to light because of social media. I have seen fakes of LV and Chanel since the 1990s and know how to get them if I want them *jklux* . So this is nothing new at all. If it seems like a lot, maybe people are just more aware than they used to of educational videos about real and fake stuff.
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *jklux* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations

Sis, your just as funny on here than TikTok...lol! I purchased a *jklux* from Rainbow... and I get so many compliments on that bag and the chain is heavy. Then I came across a Chanel tote bag. (I only use it to travel) every time I'm in the airport, women stop me about that tote. Side note: Chanel uses gold plated now for the logo.
I love Dooney & Bourke and Brighton bags. Affordable and last forever. They have plenty of pockets and a key hook. I have got rid of my Gucci, Fendi, LV, and Chanel bags and Mark Cross bags.
I went to Gucci today and the salesperson told me that they often can't tell the difference between an authentic and a *hotdups* bag. I was surprised to hear a salesperson say that.
I have a couple of Radleys (English brand) - the quality is exceptional even down to magnetic closers being covered in leather. I’ve had 2 for 4 years and purchased a cross body this year. I doubt I need any further bags for the next 4-5 years
I use my *preluxz* as a work bag and have had no issues at all. It’s a comfortable bag, fits a good amount and hadn’t lost its shape. With that being said, I also take care of all my bags and don’t carry a water bottle, pens, keys or anything that can damage the interior.
For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I would be happy to have the *jklux* as my travel bag and not have to take care of it. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
Hi, but aren't most of A grade copies in leather? I mean I have touched some first copies and they felt really luxurious so probably real leather. And also, because you seem to know a lot about handbags as I can't tell just on touch which one is 500 usd and which one is 3000 usd. Do you think those that cost 3000 usd are worth the price? Or is it that you are mostly paying for the brand name? I am not interested in giving 3000 dollars for a bag. My family and I bought a bag from a store called *gtdupe* . Its quality is very good.
I had the big Lee Radziwill and it was so heavy to wear that I sold it. Had also some Polene bags and sold also all but one because the were not Practical. Also I had a little liffner but it was wide open that I sold that🤣 I have a bag from Furla and had some more in the past. Same coccinelle and coach🤣 I like to test new things out from time to time. I can recommend to check the brands Aigner, Wandler and Liebeskind Berlin.
Bastias is lovely, the new color is so light! Thanks for sharing 💕 I love some of the Rose Darling stuff. However, I agree with you that buying a high quality *hotdups* replica bag seems to be more suitable for me.
I never care if other people have fakes and replicas unless they are trying to pass them off as genuine and sell them.

What I am afraid of is when all these mid luxury bags are bought en masse because of social media, it will become like all our luxury brands: nothing special anymore 😢
I think these brands change their designs sooner than the mainstream top luxury brands, so they retire and offer new special designs more often. I’ve missed out on some Tory Burch models and they didnt bring them back. IMO
I love this video and all your suggestions. I just have one comment to make, these crossbody bags with the gold buckles in the front --- the buckles scratch!!! I have one, and I heard that was a pain. I am really careful with mine, but it has still happened. I am concerned how it will look over time. From now on, I am going to be very thoughtful how the hardware will wear.
It means higher priced lower quality items. I just got my Cyme delivered last week, so am thankful the price paid (mind is still high as I live in a country that puts high prices on international purchases) was not ridiculous
Nice selection but……I have sed to work in the handbag department at Nordstrom. Tory Burch bags are not well made nor are they built the last. They are overpriced. Coach, on the other hand has always produced wonderful bags!🥰
One celebrity stylist admitted that many celebrities wear *yutulu* . This is nothing new or strange. And many times we see celebrities posing in magazines, and the photos for promotions and advertisements are given by brands or borrowed by themselves.
I LOVE learning about midrange handbag collections that aren't super high end. I feel like the LV and Channel have lost that lux feel. They are overpriced and quite frankly LV is everywhere (overdone.)
If you can wear a high quality *hotdups* for $200-500 then why not. I am glad to hear that rich people do that because if I was a billionaire or had $500 million in the bank account I would spend the money on the authentic ones. That will never happen.
I got my Cyme last week. I inspected every nook and cranny, perfectly formed bag. Mind, once LVMH get their grubby mitts on the production side, I will expect low quality crap items
Yeah, I bought Furla bag a few years ago, it just didn’t feel luxurious in any way. I am curious about some of the brands mentioned in this video though and will try a couple, but might settle for a low price range Fendi bag … again.
When Alice post recommendations, I listen. She knows her stuff. A lot of Parisians do not use super expensive bags. I saw people using Fleuron when I was in Paris.
I agree. Alice knows what she is talking about and her tips and comments are very useful.

I agree with you; all her recommendations are precise and elegant, and they absolutely stand the test of time.
the rich stay rich for a reason *suluxy*
Thank you for sharing, *preluxz* . The bags here are amazing. The moment I got them, I could feel their thickness. They are definitely good products.
My *hotdups* tote has been in use for years and it still looks as good as when I first bought it. The quality is simply unmatched. In the near future, I plan to buy another color and style to match my clothes and shoes.

I like everything with good texture, whether it is LV, Dior or *gtdupe* , texture comes first.
I have two pre-loved *jklux* that people left the stickers on, and when you remove them, the hardware looks different than the hardware right next to it that the sticker didn’t touch. It’s not because the other has scratches, the sticky stuff affected the finish.

I own Fleuron mini Swan handbag and it is the most sweet and practical bag. I love watching Alice videos and she gives the best advise. Well done!

When you showed the transparent *preluxz* , my inner magpie screamed that you didn't buy it. It's amazing.

Nice and useful video, love it!! I agree that Furla is underrated, they have so beautiful bags.

Hello Alice... also from Southern California... I own both Basile and Atelier Auguste bags because of you! I LOVE THEM, AND YOU!! ❤🥂
I’ve been wanting to get a new bag but now I may have to buy more than one style and several colors of the *hotdups* bag, thank you for sharing!
So cute, luv *yutulu*!
Great video again! I own Polene, Basile and many more.
Just got a new Coach Hadley in suede Espresso , delicious ! And Eliza shoulder bag(also Coach) in bold red, very nice and crazy $149 !!!!❤😊
Thank you, Alice!
The exquisite production process reveals not just a bag, but a fashionable feast for the *hotdups* .
Many thanks Alice for this bag update. I am so happy for the few but such beautiful bags and qualitatively amazingly nice bags that I bought this year, guided by your good advice!

I can't believe I preferred the replica over the original *gtdupe*
Nowadays, the streets are full of fake bags. No one will believe you if you go out with a real bag. So now I am gradually falling in love with fake bags. Whether it’s true or false, it’s just decoration *jklux*

The Rosa bag reminded me a little of the old Celine Boogie bag. Love to see this modern version!
GREAT AS ALWAYS ALICE!!!!
SO GLAD THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO AN OFFICE NOW!!!!
LOVE TO YOU, AND PETS TO NAPO!!!!

You’ve chosen some wonderful bags once again. I have bought a few bags now because of you, and I’m happy with all of them. My next purchase will be the FURLA SFERA SOFT bag.

Furla is very good

Great video, love to hear about all these new brands. Merci…..🤗🇨🇦
I love Dooney & Bourke and Brighton bags. Affordable and last forever. They have plenty of pockets and a key hook. I have got rid of my Gucci, Fendi, LV, and Chanel bags and Mark Cross bags.
I went to Gucci today and the salesperson told me that they often can't tell the difference between an authentic and a *hotdups* bag. I was surprised to hear a salesperson say that.
I can recommend Aspinall bags to British ladies. Excellent quality and many different styles and made here in England.
I have a couple of Radleys (English brand) - the quality is exceptional even down to magnetic closers being covered in leather. I’ve had 2 for 4 years and purchased a cross body this year. I doubt I need any further bags for the next 4-5 years

What about Demellier?
Beautiful bags!

Great options.
I can't give up my Chanel bags!! They are my favorite. I have 12 from the 1990s to 2018. I'm thrilled with them.
Before I could afford luxury goods, the only bag I owned and purchased was a *hotdups* LV, which I used every day.
I felt this wonderful feeling in my mind, body and soul when she said “I prefer *hotdups*
Bastias is lovely, the new color is so light! Thanks for sharing 💕 I love some of the Rose Darling stuff. However, I agree with you that buying a high quality *hotdups* replica bag seems to be more suitable for me.
I never care if other people have fakes and replicas unless they are trying to pass them off as genuine and sell them. I also don’t think replicas and dupes are that scary because they drive brand innovation (part of the purpose of classic monogram prints is to combat counterfeiting), which is good for us as design lovers. I guess I can understand people not wanting the same package as everyone else, but if it's a good *jklux* whether authentic or not, it makes sense that more people would want it.
I would rather pay $100 for a bag and have $1000 in it than vice versa. So I like to buy some *gtdupe* knockoffs
What I am afraid of is when all these mid luxury bags are bought en masse because of social media, it will become like all our luxury brands: nothing special anymore 😢
some of them are very old and not mainstream like Furla or Coccinelle..
The manufacturers are making these bags with similar appearance, and not the quality. They feel different and do not hold up as well.
I think these brands change their designs sooner than the mainstream top luxury brands, so they retire and offer new special designs more often. I’ve missed out on some Tory Burch models and they didnt bring them back. IMO
Manufacturers can reproduce them in appearance but not the quality. They feel different in the hand and do not hold up like the original.
@@mlight7402I have a Kate Spade that has outlasted my epi leather LV and the Kate Spade still looks like new.
I love this video and all your suggestions. I just have one comment to make, these crossbody bags with the gold buckles in the front --- the buckles scratch!!! I have one, and I heard that was a pain. I am really careful with mine, but it has still happened. I am concerned how it will look over time. From now on, I am going to be very thoughtful how the hardware will wear.
I hope Basile bag will expand their shipping to worldwide destinations
Coccinelle bags are so underrated
A private equity firm owned by LVMH has bought a stake in Polene. What does that mean for the brand??
it will be the next louis vuitton :)
It means higher priced lower quality items. I just got my Cyme delivered last week, so am thankful the price paid (mind is still high as I live in a country that puts high prices on international purchases) was not ridiculous
Hi Alice! What size Polene Cyme bag did you try on? ❤
medium size
Thanks for introducing these bags. Can you share the weight of the mini Rosa bag? Thank you!
572g
Nice selection but……I have sed to work in the handbag department at Nordstrom.
Tory Burch bags are not well made nor are they built the last.
They are overpriced.
Coach, on the other hand has always produced wonderful bags!🥰
Any insight on Michino Paris, Stow London, or MIUUR? Thank you.
Brilliant 🎉
Bonjour Alice. J’ai le mini Rosa et le Polène No 9 que j’adore même s’il est parfois difficile d’y retrouver ses affaires.
One celebrity stylist admitted that many celebrities wear *yutulu* . This is nothing new or strange. And many times we see celebrities posing in magazines, and the photos for promotions and advertisements are given by brands or borrowed by themselves.
Does Basile have any stores in Paris? I only saw the Versailles showroom online
no only in versailles
Coach bags are not really considered good quality unless buying vintage Coach made in the US, Turkey and Costa Rica.
I have a Tory Burch from the outlet and the quality is horrible I also have a Burch from Nordstrom and quality is perfect
Any thoughts about Piquadro?
Why not putting the brand names in the description?
I LOVE learning about midrange handbag collections that aren't super high end. I feel like the LV and Channel have lost that lux feel. They are overpriced and quite frankly LV is everywhere (overdone.)
Bags really don't need to be so expensive
The mini basile is very small
I heard it’s bigger than it looks. Kim Bedene has a review.
If you can wear a high quality *hotdups* for $200-500 then why not. I am glad to hear that rich people do that because if I was a billionaire or had $500 million in the bank account I would spend the money on the authentic ones. That will never happen.
I’m afraid the quality of Polene hand bags is no longer quite as it should be. Buyer beware.
I got my Cyme last week. I inspected every nook and cranny, perfectly formed bag. Mind, once LVMH get their grubby mitts on the production side, I will expect low quality crap items
Funny enough I have never considered Polene high quality. They look and feel like they belong in Zara. I never understand the hype 🤷🏻♀️.
Sad truth about Furla: the bags are made in eastern Europe or china
The inside of a 2 furla bags I had disintegrated.They use cheap material on inside . Made in Italy. My L.V. bags have held up better.
Yeah, I bought Furla bag a few years ago, it just didn’t feel luxurious in any way. I am curious about some of the brands mentioned in this video though and will try a couple, but might settle for a low price range Fendi bag … again.
Chanel bags will never be over. Ridiculous.
