Hi my loves! Help me decide what bag I should keep!! Pls also let me know what were your top 3 out of the bags I showed? Hope you find this informative and discovered some new brands xo Mel
Totally agree with your top 3 Mel ! 💗💗💗 Super Love that Alexander McQueen Curve Bag and Alexander Wang Crystal Bags !!! 💗💗💗 Hope to see them in person when I go out ! 😉 Thanks much for sharing this kind of video Mel 💖
Thank you for the review! I appreciate you mentioning Coach. They do have some nice bags. I have learned sooooooo much from your videos – you are very informative. Keep it up!
McQueen, Mulberry, Aspinal – thanks for a great video x
This is such a great video for people looking to buy luxury handbags under $1,000! The Balenciaga is so cute great for the beach or a picnic TFS🥰
Ugh we can always rely on you to make the best content! So much good info here!!!
That Balenciaga basket bag is SO cute! Definitely on my wishlist now! Thanks, Mel <3
Hi Mel what s the name of the pink mulberry bag,and the name of the black Croc bag too thanks
I freaking love Alexander Wang! Definitely keep the duffle. More elegant i think. Can be worn with anything. Amazing ❤️
The Moon Bag reminds me of the Bottega Jodie bag, I would say a good option if you like the style but don’t want to pay the Bottega price
That Coach tote reminds me so much of the Chanel Cerf tote 🙂 The price doesn't though 😀 What a great bag for the price x
loves it
This was really good and so informative. I definitely like seeing bags, and SLGs, from less expensive but still very good quality brands.
My favourite three are the Mayfair bag, I have that one in the large size and it’s a beautiful bag, the Coach Tote, that one looks stunning and very practical, and the Mulberry one.
My least favourite three are the McQueen jam jar and the two with the chrystals. Chrystals look beautiful on an evening bag but on a backpack and a duffel bag? You have to be joking.
Another great video. I was 🤮 the whole time seeing that Alexander McQueen behind you wondering why that wasn’t No 10 then when you showed it it was ❤️. Super cute and the details are amazing. Aspinal is one of the best budget luxury brands. I love their London Tote.
KEEP THE MULBERRY ONE!!! also would love to see a mini review on it whether it being a short clip!!
i've been eyeing it since the limited editions came out for their 50th anniversary but couldnt get my hands on it! beyond excited they've added it to their collection in general!
OMG the Balenciage Bistro Bag 😍
I used to buy Coach all the time. I’ve always been very happy with my Coach bags and they’re such a good price point! My first Coach, I bought in 2005 or so? is still in almost brand new condition. I definitely recommend checking Coach out, especially since they’re making styles similar to more expensive brands – and is better than buying a counterfeit lux brand bag that would be a similar price point as an authentic Coach! The Cassie, which is similar to the LV Pochette Metis was my most recent purchase and is such an great daily bag you don’t need to baby.
i have that small mcqueen bag with red&pink&black combo , bought it last week and such an art piece. love you xo
mine will definitely be the alexander McQueen.
By the way for anyone when you buy a coach bag or any item idk if it’s a keychain from coach. It will come with a dust bag and in its own box.
Vintage Coach is unmatched I have a huge collection that I’ve been able to build for the cheap because people over look Coach!
I loooove the Coach tote! I didn't know it existed. I have the Cassie which is my everyday bag, and I can really see this tote becoming my work bag. Thanks so much for featuring more affordable bags on your channel, Mel!

Very nice 👌👍 video 👍📸
I know it’s not under $1000, but would love to know your thoughts on the Mulberry Iris.
Hi Mel. I love the Coach leather tote bag. I’m a tote person, loves to bring everything with me. Nice to see you modeling the bags, simply beautiful😊👍🏻😍
I love so many of these, but special shout out to the coach tote, and the Tory Burch tote, as these often run under $500 AUD, which is far more realistic a price for average woman in Australia to spend on a new bag.
Mel, can you please review the bags from Strathberry? Thanks
I don't ever look at Mulberry because their bags don't really appeal to me but that mini Bayswater is so cute!
Hi Mel… may I know from what country is the mini bayswater made?
i love that mcqueen bag omg
Some of them not seems real
Hi! Great video:) Could you comment back where the Hermes date code stamps in latest model of mini Kelly 2 you introducing?
I have a Coach double zip camera bag which I bought 7 years ago. I used it everywhere in every weather conditions, and it still looks like the days I got it. I wonder if it will ever broke? So I can get the new one lol.
Love your channel. Soo good. Have you ever tried the Balenciaga everyday tote XS. The. XXS is all over the internet and loved. Wondering if you have ever tried them on and any opinions. Was looking for a Tote for my sis. Appreciate you. 🥰
