I agree with being intentional on how we spend our money this year and maximizing our cost per wear with our handbags so they sit on the shelf. I have always liked Teddy Blake for some time. Never owned anything. You shared some really nice pieces. Thank you for this!

Totally! Good to save our money for things we really want and look for alternative options when it comes to bags we aren’t sure about. Thanks so much for watching 😘 💕

Your videos are always so good. Thank you. The alternatives are always on point.

Aww thank you so much! 💕

On the Teddy Blake, you can also remove the strap and add a chain instead or move the knots or add two of them (one on each side by where the strap attaches) to adjust the strap length

Love this idea. I 1st did a dupe for the BV pouch. Loved it. Now I have 3. It’s always a great idea to try them out before spending the big bucks on them. Specially if it’s a hype bag. I liked your take on why you’re not going for the Kelly this year. While I’m over here making it the goal to get my B30 this yr. I’ve been too distracted. But I should be more like you.

For the Hermes kelly I got Carolina Herrera’s Mini Doma Insignia. In brown , look into that . Many women from the Royal’s used it and you can actually find pictures online. As Meghan M. And Spanish princess I think

Ohh I’ve never seen the micro top handle… I’ll have to check it out. There was no customs when I got the bag. I think it only applies after a certain amount.

All great choices! I love the sense e bag. So pretty! I have the Chanel 19 and the ysl loulou and they are not alike inside. The loulou functionally is a lot more like the pochette metis actually or the Chanel small trendy in capacity and organization. The Lou puffer is a bit more like the Chanel 19 as it has the same softness and it is just one space inside. It’s also a great bag. It’s super light and easy to get in and out of. Lily and bean I believe has some bags that look very similar to the Kelly and I think they have a tiny one if you want to get a feel for a mini Kelly. Let us know if yiu get one and how you like it.

I always loved the compartments in the ysl Lou Lou bag. Do you prefer compartments or one opening section? I love the Chanel 19, definitely a functional luxurious bag to use. I’ll have to check out Lily and Bean!

@pappyone6062

@@SomethingLatte I think I prefer one big opening but as long as the compartments are big enough like the small loulou or the pochette metis that is fine. I also have the toy loulou and although I love it I find the tiny compartments decrease the overall space. I love the 19 and the small loulou puffer both!

what size is your top? I love it ❤

As most of the reviews of TB bags are those that they give out for free, i’m a bit skeptical of them. Seen mixed reviews as well..The one u are showing here seems ok ( couldn’t really see the details) but seen some that look really like plastic with bad stitching etc. making me feel like might as well get sthg safe like coach or polene for that amount of $$.

Hi! For non designer leather handbags I like Coach, some Kate Spade, and Tory Burch. Presently I have three TB purses and they are extremely well made. Tory Burch comprises a large part of my shoe wardrobe as well- again, quality, comfortable, and well made. Hope this helps.

My favorite contemporary bags are polene and Coach… definitely the most reliable and best quality I’ve seen for the price :)

Love these kinds of videos.I am on the hunt for closes alternative for mini kelly or Kelly 25 .I love the style so much but no way that I will ever spend 30000 on a bag unless I win a lottery😂 so far tory burch radziwill is the closest but it's sold out in canada 😕and I see in the reviews that the petite one doesn't technically fit anything. So I'm still looking...😁
