buying your first designer bag? i'm gonna share all the information on how to buy your
first designer bag definitely watch the entire video before you buy not only your first one a
lot of rules also apply to your fifth or sixth designer bag as well the first part i'm gonna
talk a little bit about the things that you need to consider these things will give you a very good
start point to understand what kind of bag you're looking for occasion first you need to consider
like why you're buying this bag for what kind of occasion is it for the day for the night for work
or for any evening events if you want to buy a bag that can be worn in many different occasions then
you need to consider something more versatile the second one is the size of the bag a lot of times
the same style of the bag comes in many different sizes like hermes kelly has kelly 20 25 28 32 so
the reason why you're buying this bag can help you to determine the size of the bag another factor
to consider is that essentially what you need to carry in the bag and what you usually carry
the next is the style of the bag are you looking for a cross body or you're looking for a tote do
you need a strap to be hands-free or you don't care about the strap at all the next thing you
want to consider is your budget how much are you willing to spend on your first designer bag next
i want to talk about all the tips when you are actually buying this bag first i would say since
this is your first designer bag i would totally avoid a trendy bag or any IT bag of the season
because you saved up for a while and spent quite some money and bought your first designer bag
and only realizing six months later the bag is out of style because it was so trendy when it's out of
style it's less likely you will want to carry this bag for the first designer bag you definitely want
to consider something more classic the second one is the leather material usually when you pick your
first designer bag you want to pick something that's more durable and more carefree chanel's
caviar leather is more carefree and durable than lambskin so for your first few designer bags
you probably want to avoid delicate material like lamb skin or tweed bags if possible the next thing
is that the bag not only fit your personal style but also fit your lifestyle sometimes just liking
the bag is not enough it doesn't mean that the bag goes so well with all your outfits and it fits
your lifestyle if after you purchase the bag then you realize it's not a good fit then it's a little
bit sad especially this is your first designer bag generally speaking you want to consider more
neutral colors for your first designer bag because it goes with many different outfits and different
styles you can totally go for a pop of color but just from experience that you will have less
opportunity to wear it because it doesn't go with a lot of things the cost per wear will be higher
than neutral color bags the next one is the resale value it depends on how long you're planning
to hold on to this bag if you think you might have a chance to resell this bag in the future
then resale value is definitely something needs to take into consideration i have a dedicated video
to talk about best and the worst investment bags and i'll link it down below in the description box
so you can check it out after this video generally speaking chanel classic flap and hermes birkin
Kelly constants are pretty good investment bags if it's too high for your budget i would totally
recommend research on some of the bags take a look at the second-hand market at least get
something that we'll need to lose so much money on i definitely learned my lesson in the past and i
can tell you that it's not a good feeling when you have to take a loss when you sell your designer
bags so i know a lot of people recommend lv as a first designer bag but my first designer bag is
actually a lv bag and i lost a lot of money when i sold that bag the next thing you want to consider
is discount nowadays i would say except chanel louis vuitton Hermes you should be able to get
different amount of discount on many different designer bags let me know if you're interested
in any bag sale information in the future because if you are interested i can definitely be sure to
share more of those kind of sale information with you guys even for louis vuitton chanel Hermes i
feel it's worth looking to pre-love the market to see if you can get your beloved bags for cheaper
the next tip is avoid distractions like i always mentioned in my other video that don't buy a bag
because it's cheaper or don't buy a bag because it's on sale if you are temporarily buying a gucci
bag because it's cheaper than chanel it will only take you longer to get the bag you really
want which is a chanel bag so you definitely want to avoid those distractions the next tip
is buy your first designer bag with a hundred percent of love if you have any doubt definitely
don't buy it because if you are not in love with it a hundred percent at the beginning your love
will just fade more and more over time eventually you will fell out of love with it trust me on this
don't ask me how i know i definitely learned so much about myself in the past the next tip i want
you pay attention to the bag itself is the bag too heavy i want to bring this up is because i
sold some bags in the past because the bag itself is way too heavy for me i didn't consider the
weight factor when i first bought the bag the other thing for the bag itself that you need to
consider is is the strap too long is the strap adjustable does it suit me like i tried on the
chanel classic flap in the jumbo size before the strap just doesn't work for me the drop is way too
low it's too long for me these are the things that you need to consider for the bag itself
so the next tip is exam the bag when you purchase your first designer bag definitely make sure you
examine the bag helpfully including the stitching corner wear everything basically all the details
definitely don't be afraid to ask for another one to compare to pick a better one in the boutique or
return the defect if you order it online the last part i'm gonna recommend a few bags as your first
designer bag personally i would recommend chanel classic flap or hermes bkc as your first designer
bag because you really don't need to get a cheaper bag and then upgrade to chanel there's no such
thing as upgrade you just don't need to nobody said your first designer bags cannot be chanel
or cannot be Hermes even it means that you have to save up more to waive for longer i think that they
totally worth the wait like i mentioned to you guys i bought a lv bag as my first designer bag
and i end up selling it because i totally don't wear it at all because of this lv bag it actually
took me longer to eventually get the bag that i really want which is the chanel classic flap if
hermes and the chanel are too much for your budget i totally recommend looking into the pre-love
market see if you can save some money and stay within your budget if it's still too expensive you
can consider getting a chanel rectangular mini or square mini they're currently around four thousand
dollar price point you can still get a timeless and a classic look but they're way more affordable
than chanel classic flap if you look for more affordable options i personally really like
Saint Laurent bags and the sac de jour remained to be my most used designer bags of 2020.
nowadays you can definitely get the sac de jour for cheaper in the pre-loved market i also think
that saint laurent loulou is a great option for the first designer bag the small or the median
loulou are all very practical options to carry from day to night and they also have the classic
look and they are very pretty if you are looking for cheaper options when it comes to lulu there is
a toy lulu available which is a little bit over a thousand dollars it is very pretty and affordable
honestly if you end up not wanting the saint laurent bag after many years you shouldn't lose
so much money on it the other bag looks really nice is the saint laurent sofferino bag i just
love the structured look and the clean lines it's a very classic crossbody with adjustable
shoulder straps it's also available in a small and a medium size the other bag that i think is
a great option for your first designer bag is my hermes herbag in size 31 the top is in the hunter
leather the bottom is in the really good quality canvas material i have another video to go into
all the details pros and cons about this bag you can definitely check it out after this video
i'll also link it down honestly after i bought so many other designer bags and after many years and
i still love this bag the only thing i want to mention is that the hermes herbag does not have
very good resale value you can definitely find it on the pre-love the market for way cheaper
if you do decide to buy this bag from the hermes boutique definitely find out from your SA that
if this bag counts as your spending toward your barking or cali if that's what you're gonna go for
eventually i hope this video has been informative and helpful let me know if
you have any additional questions definitely leave me a comment down below let me know which
one is your first designer bags or which one are you planning to get as your first designer bags
