hi guys welcome back to my channel today
we are doing a video that been very very
very much requested and I was a little
hesitant on doing it but I decided to do
it and it's gonna be my designer handbag
collection this is very materialistic
video but a girl likes nice things what
can I do so I decided to show you some
of my favorite bags all of them have
like little stories behind them which I
love I'll show you some of my pride and
joy that I purchased for myself by
myself for myself
I'll give you tips throughout if you are
on a market to buy yourself now or in
the future designer bag what you should
look for and what you should avoid and
which were some of my regrets so the
first one that I wanted to show you is
definitely the most like prestigious
handbag in my collection this is the
Hermes Birkin bag it looks so big on
camera this is 35 centimeters this was
actually a push present from Gary to me
when I was pregnant with her first child
who jakie this is something that was so
so hard to get I don't know why they're
making it so difficult it's obviously
all about the marketing her mess is an
amazing company very high-end but like
come on why do people need to go on
waiting lists to pay you money anyway so
Gary was looking to surprise me with the
Birkin for a very long time there's all
these like politics and all this stuff
you need to do like purchase a certain
amount of items in store and then when
they see that you spend a lot then
they'll like give you the option to put
yourself on a waiting list you usually
can choose which Birkin exactly you want
whatever is one comes into the store
they'll call you and they'll be like hey
we have this one and like green
crocodile do you want it or not it's
like it's so weird but we got a little
lucky we didn't buy anything from the
store really didn't put myself on a
waiting list we were in Miami traveling
and Gary just decided to be extra
annoying which in general I find that
really helps you in life he kept going
back and they're like no we don't turn
we don't we don't have any Birkins we
don't keep any Birkins the minute they
get in like customers waiting for them
for months or years so they're out but
Gary kept going back and then this one
guy got so annoyed with him that he's
just like just let me go in the back and
see what I can do and then he brought
this one which was really pretty it's
really out there it's red it has gold
hardware but you know what for a bag
like that if you're already buying one
you definitely kind of want to get
something fun that you love so we got
this one and well I ever get a Birkin
again hell to the No just because I find
that it's not so usable I feel like it's
for a little like older women I know now
obviously you see young girls carrying
Birkins but I don't know like this is
probably something I wear when I'm older
I'm not gonna get rid of it but for now
being a mom of almost three this is not
comfortable you like can't put a lot of
heavy stuff in it because then it's
gonna ruin the shape of it and then
you're like spend all this money and now
it looks like a sack of potatoes
it's an interesting bag I travel with it
sometimes when I go just Gary and I on
like you know a nice vacation this is
definitely something that brings me
memories it was a really fun funny
experience and I love Gary for being
that annoying guy that just kept on like
asking if they have Birkins but I would
definitely not purchase another burking
again the only bad guy would purchase
from myself in the future would be a
Kelly which is kind of similar but it
actually has a long strap so you can
either wear it with like handles or use
the strap which is I think a little more
manageable for me so this is it this is
the first bag when I started getting
into designer bags that didn't happen
until I met Gary I didn't even know how
much they cost just didn't imagine
action me purchasing one had like other
things I had to pay for like food and
apartment and stuff but when I met Gary
he's such a generous I mean
and he introduced me to designer bags in
general in Israel growing up I didn't
even think young girls could own
chanelle's or Louis Vuitton's or
whatever
it wasn't the culture back then now it's
definitely much more happening there but
I think it's also because of social
media so I wasn't even aware that this
is something people strive for only when
I moved to North America about nine
years ago
I started seeing that like 18 year-olds
rock Chanel's here like it's nobody's
business
so when Gary surprised me with my first
chanel which was this one I was very
like oh my god can I wear it out or like
people are gonna rob me like how does it
work I obviously I got really excited
like I'm a girl and such a pretty bag
and it was it was really wonderful it
was a very like pretty woman moment
maybe not pretty woman because she was a
prostitute it was really beautiful whoo
I was living in New York at a time and
he came to visit me and we went to an
event and I think he was so embarrassed
from my little pleather bag that I had
with me that he's like can I take you
tomorrow somewhere and I was like sure
so he took me to a Chanel boutique and
he's like choose whatever you want and
after fighting for about 40 minutes
because I was like I don't want anything
don't buy me anything I don't want it I
don't want it you care about my love you
can buy my love my love don't cost a
thing and then I just I caved in because
he tried to do something so nice and I
was just being annoying they convinced
me to get this first bag that I
absolutely adore I love it so much which
is a classic medium Chanel in lambskin
so mistake number one never buy lambskin
because if you're someone like me who
actually like uses their bags and is not
necessarily like want to spend their
evenings putting blankets under the bag
you want something that's much much more
durable and resistant to things lambskin
is not and this is also a light color so
there's a discoloration there's some
darkness here also it scratches really
easily I usually wear it for like summer
events because the colors just matches
most of my wardrobe
the next classic Chanel that I got it
was like still absolutely my
favorite purchase ever is this one this
is also medium I always buy the same
sizes for my Chanel bags this is the
perfect size for me where it's not too
small and not so big so you can wear it
during the day and you can wear it at
night and this is caviar with silver
hardware I wanted to do a silver
hardware because I think gold with red
as you've seen on the Birkin is very
like oh so I wanted something a little
more toned down and I purchased this one
in Miami and still still my favorite it
literally upgrades every outfit that I
ever wear it with it's such a bright
awesome color it's so beautiful and its
care of your skin so it's so like I can
wear it with kids and nothing happens
the next one in this collection of the
classic Chanel's is a classic black one
this is a staple bag and has gold
hardware the double flap there's not
much to say about this bag just like
it's perfect and it said these are like
kind of my three colors that I purchased
that I think are such a good kind of
staple to have they go with literally
everything in my wardrobe so this is
something that I've obviously built
throughout the years this is not I
bought it at one time the thing with me
and Chanel is very simple when I started
kind of getting into designer handbags I
really wanted to find you know what is
my style like how do I like to dress
obviously you're gonna evolve through
the years and your Styles gonna change
but for me was always kind of like
feminine classic I wanted to find shapes
and colors that will kind of stand the
test of time and there are so many
companies out there are so many great
brands that are more trendy or more edgy
like Balenciaga and Selene that summer
personality it's not the way I like to
dress that's what I've been kind of
sticking to bags that sometimes maybe
feel like a very safe choice but I want
to be safe because they're freaking
expensive I don't want to go just buy
something that's super trendy and I do
have one bag that's like it and it's the
Chloe
they backpack this is the mini I bought
this one for myself a few months ago
in New York Chloe is a company that kind
of resonates with my style it's very
feminine very flowy but it has a little
like manly edge to it in a way I really
like what this bag is about first of all
it's a backpack which is really suits my
lifestyle with the kids and I wanted
something that just a little bit
different and a little more trendier
than the Chanel classics that I have I
love it I wear it literally almost every
single day the only thing is that this
is suede and because you have to open
the bag and put like your finger on this
way it does get dirty I don't know how
it's gonna look in a couple of years but
it still looks pretty if it's far enough
you don't see the stains so we're good
to go I was thinking like why didn't I
get a darker color but honestly I see
people that have these in darker colors
and you can see again suede there
scratches there's like spots so it's
kind of inevitable but this has
definitely been like a really cute
purchase that I decided to step out of
my comfort zone and buy and I love it it
makes so much noise my kids know where I
am at all times because of this bad make
sense I'm a mom of two boys I got really
into backpacks lately a backpack that we
purchased the first one of kind of the
Chanel backpacks was this one and we got
this in Moscow Russia I haven't seen
this shape anywhere before then when we
traveled last year so I get really
excited and it has a really interesting
like color to it I really like that it's
not necessarily black it has kind of an
excellent color but it depends on what
you wear and like on the weather outside
it goes from eggplant - kind of like
brownish kind of black so a very
versatile color and again it's very very
convenient for me because it has the
straps and it's quite roomy like you can
put a lot of stuff in there so I will
travel with that as well it is lambskin
so you have to be a little more careful
but so far it's been pretty good when we
purchased that I was wearing it all the
time all the time and then I think like
six months after
I was in Toronto and I saw the same
backpack but in gray and I'm a sucker
for gray so I decided to spoil myself
and get this one again this is something
that I wear all year round it looks
beautiful in the winter it looks
beautiful in the summer the same concept
just at the light of color and I love it
I love the gold on it it's like a really
convenient and awesome back to have so
I've been really happy with this and
then the last but not least is my most
recent bag purchase that I bought myself
for Mother's Day I was really looking
for something kind of in the blue tones
because her third baby is a boy so I
wanted kind of a little you know splash
of blue and I decided to go which ml
obviously because that's where I prefer
to invest my money and I decided to be a
little more adventurous with the shape
instead of going for like a classic one
I decided to take kind of this vintagey
i think this is a shade that they used
to have they kind of brought it back and
put a spin on it and it looks like this
super cute like lady bag but it has a
strap which is very convenient for me
and it's small but you can kind of wear
it during the day and you can wear it at
events at night so I really like the
versatility and I like the fact that the
color is like a pop of color so when I
wear beige II why it's graces is such a
beautiful accent to it and that's it and
I got my blue and this is also caviar
because I stopped buying a lambskin
after the few I'm skinny that I have fun
fact my first ever designer bag was I
don't even know if it's considered
designer but it was Tommy Hilfiger and I
got it for myself and friends and I was
so proud of myself I thought that like I
felt like I was literally wearing like a
Louis Vuitton it was just so you know
but I travel with it back home and it
got stolen out of my suitcase so that
was a very short-lived designer bag
moment
it was also super ugly now that I
remember some happy that they stole it
so this is really it just remember that
before you go and buy your first
designer bag think about how you're
going to look at that bag in a couple of
years you don't want to spend all that
money and buy something that's so so
trendy and then it's just gonna go away
and you're like what am I supposed to do
with this now because I have some of
those and I'm like trying to sell them
and it's not easy and then think about
the colors especially if it's like your
first bag think about a color that will
go with your wardrobe but are usually
where think about the material to make
sure they will stand the test of time
and that you don't have to constantly
worry about where you put it down super
annoying so this is it you guys if you
have any questions about sizes about
colors I would love to help you out what
was your first designer bag or what is
on your wish list
for your first designer bag I would love
to hear let's say thank you so much for
watching and I'll see you guys next time
you
