Hi Tracy! Wish you made a video on how you organize your closet. I have a LOT of trouble keeping everything organized, especially bags, shoes, and weekly outfits. You're the best!! Keep it going!!
Hello beautiful , who cares if your wearing a Teadie Blake, Birkin, or Elephant bag if you like it rock it. People put to much emphosis on brand names. You could carry a tin can purse and make it look good
Very informative. You've really nailed down what to look for in handbags. Definitely using these ideas. To add to your comment about tissue paper, a fairly good size pack can also be found at Walmart inexpensively in the shipping section. Love your videos, thanks for sharing!
I love your channel. Great insights and ideas for living a more aesthetically rich life (even without having to spend tons of money). Thank you very much!
Thank you! Another useful video! The advice about the size of the bag depending on the size of your body is great too, and can be applied in other areas. And yes, told my sister about you lol
I came across your UA-cam videos recently and I'm addicted. I think you are so sophisticated and an inspiration for the younger people. I would if you could do a video on casual wear, evening wear etc. Love ❤️ your videos.
Oh ! What a coincidence !! The taupe handbag that's been sent to you looks like the one I've longed to buy which is a Mac Douglas !! I've recently bought a black Lancaster instead but I'll keep focused on the Mac Douglas as my next handbag purchase !! And yes, taupe is perfect to suit every garment !!
Hi Tracy! I love all of your videos! I would love to see some seasonal or annual trends videos. I feel like I'm always a little late to what's hot that year. Also, some information about purchasing quality, classic items that never go out of style and can be worn for many occasions would be great!
Great Video. You spoke about keeping your handbags on the top shelf of your closet. I do this too but they slouch. any suggestions? I use some end ho,Dems but they still slouch and the various handles hang and look messy
You're so cute with your great video ideas! Always something to learn. I knew right away what your complaint would be on that gorgeous bag... I'm glad you found a way to make it work. I have to have easy access in all my bags, and like you also mentioned, handles and straps are so important. It has to be easy to wear and look chic!
I follow your videos too. Thank for the good advice. I have to carry a crossbag all the time because I go everywhere with my bicycle since I live in Holland. Keep up the good job.
I am with you on all your thoughts on handbags, probably because I carry an organizer like yours and need a bag with no dividers. That bag you were sent for review would drive me crazy with the closure and I would end up wearing mine open as well. I used to love slouchy leather bags, but find I like a more structured bag now. By the way, I got the Simply Pink lipstick at Sally's and it is perfect. Not sure what lipstick color I got last time but it was definitely not this blue based pink! Lol
Hi Romie! Thanks for all this detailed info. I too, used to like slouchy bags. But as I have gotten busier and need everything assessable FAST .. I too, like the more structured bags. I am glad you got your hands on the right Palladio lipstick. Appreciate all the communicating! Have a blessed and beautiful day!!! xx
A new subbie. Wow to the negative comments. She was sent this. Plus I love inspired bags. Lots do it...I live in the real world where Hermes doesn't exist. Kudos on video.
I can see the "hassle" of opening and closing the bag being something that could work well for those who have to take public transportation. It could help deter pick pockets.
I like it because it is secured and you know that no one can reach in the bag unless they cause noise or someone reaching I would buy it for my sister knowing how she hates open bags because she likes zippers or secure closed that only you can and know how to access., nice bag
Tracy, I love your bracelets (and all the other jewelry I've seen on your channel, as well) Maybe you will do a jewelry video in the future? Would love to know where to get pieces that you wear.
Wow, I’m newly subscribed to you and I just looooove your videos. Already shared a few with my sister who also finds them interesting. I totally agree that bag or jewelry size should match the body size. Keep posting, I’m inspired :)
I have this bag in black for about three months now. Mine came with a shoulder strap however it is long enough for crossbody. I've used it as a crossbody walking out of a grocery store to the car type of thing.
hi Tracy,what's the website for that bag? is that Teddy Blake? I love the bag and color as well! I would like to see if they have different size to purchase! thank you for this video,I learned a lot how to choose bags! Keep doing what you're doing to help us!❤
Sylvia E Fantastic Sylvia!!! I am so happy that you like it! I am picky about what I use! I require fiction, but don't want to sacrifice fashion. Appreciate you sharing with me that you love it so much!!! Blessings!!! xx
Hello🌿 1)Rather than buying papers to help your bag in preseving its shape, you could put clothes. 2) I suggest making more videos about etiquette and beauty ❤💙❤💙❤
I am with you! Out of my price range, as well. It would be easy to find a dupe. for sure! But I am enjoying it ... and love the color. It goes with everything!
Tracy I love all the great detailed information you give! You're amazing. I checked out the website for Teddy Blake bags; very very expensive. They are very beautiful but definately would not buy one. Please post some videos on fashion. I love your outfits and need help with style!! God bless!☺
Thank you Val. Yes, I am not sure what the price is of a Teddy Blake bag. As for videos on fashion, please check out my videos. I recently posted several. Enjoy your day!
So Teddy Blake has been on my channel a lot here lately. I am very curious to know if it is as heavy as I think it is? I have a few heavy leather bags and I tend to carry them less because of that fact. Thanks!
Actually the Caty is not discontinued. Teddy Blake is the seller, Buti is the manufacturer and you can still get it through them. Check out its Facebook page.....I just ordered both the 13" Eva and 14" Caty....
Hi Deborah! Thank you for informing me. This is the first that I have heard about the links not working. They probably need to be updated. I will check it out, and make the necessary changes. I appreciate the communication. Happy New Year!
I feel like my mother when I have my clutch. I only own one in black velvet, and I put my phone, lipstick, id, credit card and a little cash in it. My initials are MK so maybe I should get a Michael Kors clutch!
I ordered a bag from corde New York and ordered it in the emerald color. It came after a month and it came all bent and it wasn’t even the right color.
Great looking bag, but that opening would drive me crazy too. I'd have to leave it open because I'm in and out of my bag all the time. I used to be a "big bag" girl but I find that I really don't need to carry so many things anymore. I also like a bag that I can carry on my shoulder to be hands free. It's so good to see you again, I've missed you. xo
Hi Jen! I have never utilized my resources to have designer handbags. Possibly because of the expense of a big gamily. Therefore I am not fluent in Designer bags. I know that there are you tubers out there that are. You may want to search for them. I have no idea what a Hermes Birkin Kelly Bag is, unfortunately! But the bag I am showing in this video ... is certainly NOT one of those!! I assure you!
MeLu B NO! But that is a very nice compliment. I have watched a few of her videos. She is a beautiful lady and yes, I believe she does something in television ... news anchor or something like that. I believe she is also around my age. What a sweet message!!
Stuff the bag with pretty tissue paper! Also, I want this exact bag (Caty) and yet the dark beige silver 14" is discontinued! If anyone is selling this EXACT bag I will buy it today, haha.
Ladies, remember, as long as your handbag is not falling apart and filthy dirty, it doesn't matter what it is - there's nothing worse than seeing people with dirty grubby bags and totes
Good God, that first bag was like a piece of luggage. The bigger the bag, the more you put in it and the heavier it is. When your diaper bag days are over, you don't need to carry the whole house with you. Thank you for the information though. You always look like you took the time to care about how you are presenting yourself.
I love the idea and I don't mean this at all to be offensive but you're not holding a "Teddy Blake Original" you're holding a cheap imitation of the Hermes Birkin 40cm which is a 20,000 USD bag. I'm not the person to fangirl over large brands, but if you were going to buy a replica Birkin you could get one for 80 dollars easily. I don't think it's fair that this brand is ripping off Hermes intellectual property.
That was exactly what was on my mind as I watched this video, but I later learned that the bag (by Italian designer Buti Pelletterie) actually pre-dates the Hermès Birkin that made the design popular. Teddy Blake sells the bag from the Italian designer. Although you can’t say Hermés copied from Buti Pelletterie, the reverse isn’t true either.
Hermes stole the design from Buti who has been making the bag since 1958. Hermes stole the design in 1982 from that company and renamed it. Do your history.
I'll tell you who would carry this bag: Someone who is smart enough to avoid burning 20grand on a hand bag, just because it has a brand attached to it. Also, it would be a rip-off Birkin if it showed the brand anywhere. Since it doesn't, it's not dupe. It's like saying that any jeans that is not Levi's is a dupe. It's not, it's just a similar object from a different brand.
all the videos I've watched on this channel are brilliant, informative and very useful. The lady looks amazing too, but I would have to agree with the comments below that wearing fakes should be avoided, and this bag is clearly a fake birkin... this is by no means is aimed at the author of the video, because I understand that the bag was sent to her for review, it is just me saying that I wouldn't recommend buying this particular bag or any other fake items, because this brings anyone's image down a lot
I am not familiar with what a Birkin is. I suppose I could search it. That type of stuff is petty, though. I don't get tripped up by what other woman carry. I have myself to keep functional.
Thank you! Get on the treadmill, no excuses. Longer videos are so that my gals can get their workouts in. No time to sit and watch videos. Not on my PLAN!!! Gotta Grind, Girl!!! xo
I just discovered your UA-cam channel. Love your topics however I do find them a bit long winded 10 to 15 minutes is really a good time frame to say what you need to say
I think your comment is a little unfair. She told us right at the beginning she was presented with the handbag in exchange for her honest review. She reviewed the bag while continually talking about what she looks for in a bag. Another wonderful and informative video. Thank you Tracy!!

Alesia V. Thank you! Glad you liked the video. And you are correct on the tissue paper .. that is where I buy mine.
I love the way you voluminous the back of your hair! Gives you hair such a good look!

love your videos!!!! I'm 4'9 i don't know why but i love big bags i will try to work on selecting my bags you are right
I rarely reuse a bag (
There is something in this particular handbag that Whenever I see I can't resist 😩😍❤️I adore this silver caty ✨
Love the turquoise blouse...it's my favourite colour
I would love to see a closet tour.
Thank you Annette! That is on my list!!
Annette Chiles Yes! I would LOVE to see her closet!
A new subbie. Wow to the negative comments. She was sent this. Plus I love inspired bags. Lots do it...I live in the real world where Hermes doesn't exist. Kudos on video.
My thoughts exactly!!!
I can see the "hassle" of opening and closing the bag being something that could work well for those who have to take public transportation. It could help deter pick pockets.
Good Point!
I like it because it is secured and you know that no one can reach in the bag unless they cause noise or someone reaching I would buy it for my sister knowing how she hates open bags because she likes zippers or secure closed that only you can and know how to access., nice bag

Hi Michelle! This one has the strap for the cross body option, as well.
Tracy Hensel I love this bag because it's so roomy, hand made in Italy and has the Hermes vibe without the 15k plus price tag or a fake Hermes logo.
Great review. My favorite type of bag is a top handle with a shoulder strap!
Karen Obremski Thank you Karen!

Hello🌿
1)Rather than buying papers to help your bag in preseving its shape, you could put clothes.
2) I suggest making more videos about etiquette and beauty
❤💙❤💙❤
Nookoo Ninja, i use old towels.
Love it !!!!! I could never afford something like that !! But I do like it and I love the color.!!!!
I am with you! Out of my price range, as well. It would be easy to find a dupe. for sure! But I am enjoying it ... and love the color. It goes with everything!
You are so helpful! thank you for the wonderful information as always!

It is a beautiful bag, but I also like your choices from Target 😊
Angeles VA Thank you! I do, as well!
I didn't know that about Uhaul. That's cool. I sometimes use Christmas or birthday wrapping paper.
Tanks for not ivin up after a certain ae. You look fabulous!
Love your ideas. You have me hooked 🌻
Love your videos! Thank you for such a wonderful thorough review and great tips! :) I will definitely be getting one!
So Teddy Blake has been on my channel a lot here lately. I am very curious to know if it is as heavy as I think it is? I have a few heavy leather bags and I tend to carry them less because of that fact. Thanks!
Nickey Wonder Hi Nickey! I cannot lie, it is a heavy bag!!
Love your channel I have been binge watching your videos you are very helpful and gorgeous!
Loved the color of the handbag !
I love the Caty bag from Teddy Blake, unfortunately it has been discontinued. But it is pretty gorgeous.
Actually the Caty is not discontinued. Teddy Blake is the seller, Buti is the manufacturer and you can still get it through them. Check out its Facebook page.....I just ordered both the 13" Eva and 14" Caty....
Oh, my! how I love that purple clutch!
Very informative. You need a segment on the major networks.
Love the Teddy Blake
Love the bag! Love the video
Thank you!
Is it a sachel ? Looks great
Yes!
I have the same bag and love it...
Annette Chiles As do I, and I also love it!
I really love all your video ❤️💜❤️💜
Thank you!! xoxo
Hi Tracy! Is your bag the 10" or the 12"? TIA! ☺️
deeliciouz all information is in the drop down box & on the corresponding blog post
The organizer link in 2 of your videos does not look like the same one as in the video. What color is yours? The style looks different too.
Hi Deborah! Thank you for informing me. This is the first that I have heard about the links not working. They probably need to be updated. I will check it out, and make the necessary changes. I appreciate the communication. Happy New Year!
I thought the very same thing too. 😊

I ordered a bag from corde New York and ordered it in the emerald color. It came after a month and it came all bent and it wasn’t even the right color.
Where is the purple clutch from? I did not see the link to it in the description box.
Aldo
You're so gorgeous and classy. Thank you for being YOU.
watched several videos and until this one, I would've guessed you had many designer bags, including Hermès
Nope, not a one!
You'll never have trouble with pick-pockets with that bag. Lol!
Great looking bag, but that opening would drive me crazy too. I'd have to leave it open because I'm in and out of my bag all the time. I used to be a "big bag" girl but I find that I really don't need to carry so many things anymore. I also like a bag that I can carry on my shoulder to be hands free.

Victoria Briseno That was my dilemma. Glad you enjoyed the video. Appreciate you watching!
5:10 that is how all people use the Hermes Birkin Kelly bag. You didn't think of it.
Hi Jen! I have never utilized my resources to have designer handbags. Possibly because of the expense of a big gamily. Therefore I am not fluent in Designer bags.

Yes I can see how tedious it is to open the bag
Yes, it is!!
I am from the caribbean can i get one to ship to my country i love that bag
Hi Alasha! You should be able to find that out from the website.
Love your videos ☺️
Has anyone ever mentioned to you that you look a lot like Dominique Sachse?
Her voice and how she presents herself is an anchor/ tv material like Dominique
MeLu B ha, true...I love Dominique!! They're both soo elegant, sophisticated!! Love them both!!
MeLu B NO! But that is a very nice compliment. I have watched a few of her videos. She is a beautiful lady and yes, I believe she does something in television ... news anchor or something like that. I believe she is also around my age. What a sweet message!!
Have you worked on tv? you sound like someone who does know how to use their tone of voice and words. I enjoy your videos very much, Thank you
Plan To Shine I thought the same
What it is the point to use a bag that is too complicated to open. If I have to keep it open i can choose another bag. It is cute tho. 😉
Yes, agreed! Thank you!
Stuff the bag with pretty tissue paper!
Also, I want this exact bag (Caty) and yet the dark beige silver 14" is discontinued! If anyone is selling this EXACT bag I will buy it today, haha.
The bag is nice and big and if you like it, wear it.

First time in ur channel
Welcome!
What color is that bag?
All the information on this bag is in the drop down box of this video.
is that first bag a birkin?
Not that I am aware of.
I love the idea and I don't mean this at all to be offensive but you're not holding a "Teddy Blake Original" you're holding a cheap imitation of the Hermes Birkin 40cm which is a 20,000 USD bag. I'm not the person to fangirl over large brands, but if you were going to buy a replica Birkin you could get one for 80 dollars easily. I don't think it's fair that this brand is ripping off Hermes intellectual property.
First thing I noticed was the Hermes Birkin style--almost identical except the small touches. Almost everyone who carries a Birkin leaves it open.
I was going to agree. Definitely Hermes Birkin inspired and it is usually carried open, flap showing.
I was about to come into the comments and say this design was the same as a Birkin, but people are already on it
That was exactly what was on my mind as I watched this video, but I later learned that the bag (by Italian designer Buti Pelletterie) actually pre-dates the Hermès Birkin that made the design popular. Teddy Blake sells the bag from the Italian designer. Although you can’t say Hermés copied from Buti Pelletterie, the reverse isn’t true either.
you look like an actrice but as a compliment love bags,
The design is stolen from Hermes Birkin.
Who would carry a rip-off Birkin? Not a good look.
jealous, why cant u just compliment? why putting down?? it looks dam good.
Jealous of a dupe? lol Check all other comments, expert!
Hermes stole the design from Buti who has been making the bag since 1958. Hermes stole the design in 1982 from that company and renamed it. Do your history.
I'll tell you who would carry this bag: Someone who is smart enough to avoid burning 20grand on a hand bag, just because it has a brand attached to it.

Oops I literally just threw away my paper! Bought a Dooney.
Hermes style
So I have heard.
No way!

classy way of avoiding to mention hermes and acting like you have never seen a birkin
The funny part is .... I still don't know what the heck a Birkin is. I have not taken the time to google it. Guess that shows you my priorities.
I just discovered your UA-cam channel. Love your topics however I do find them a bit long winded 10 to 15 minutes is really a good time frame to say what you need to say
I couldn't use that bag . . . the way to open it is disgusting.
I think u should tell us subscribers BEFORE THE VIDEO that the video is SPONSORED!!!!
I think your comment is a little unfair. She told us right at the beginning she was presented with the handbag in exchange for her honest review. She reviewed the bag while continually talking about what she looks for in a bag. Another wonderful and informative video. Thank you Tracy!!
thats a hermes birkin handbag
This is def an imitation of the Hermes Birkin. Disappointed to see that type of intellectual stealing on this wonderful channel 👎🏼
Hermes stole the design from Buti who has been making the bag since 1958. Hermes stole the design in 1982 from that company. Do your history.
