THE 8 BAGS TO AVOID IN 2024! Do NOT buy these!

My collection is complete, I recognise that I have everything I need. I am now wearing everything and enjoying each piece.

I would phrase as "bigger bags are coming back" medium size perhaps, but not necessarily the huge ones. I agree ppl are finally realising mini bags are not practical.

Big bags may be trending, but I will never go back to bags that weigh 2 pounds empty. Even 1 to 1.5 pound bags get heavy when you fill them up. Unless it’s a work bag, who wants to lug around a heavy huge bag? Small to midsize is the way to go.

Oh, I really do hope hobo bags come back in! Medium sized shoulder hobo bags are my favorites. So comfortable and functional.

Not only the mini Kelly… the pre owned market around the world is flooooooded with luxury designer bags way more than the demand

I wholeheartedly agree. There's a category of bag I call IG bags: the mini Jodie, the Dior Book Tote, the Fendi Sunshine tote. Medium to large bags always worked for me: once you start wearing reading glasses, the minis just don't fit enough. And finally, I learned that when I retired, my beloved top handle bags, which I carried for 30+ years, no longer fit my lifestyle. I now carry medium, slouchy hobo style or bucket bags.

Just imagine having this conversation around 20 years ago. Thats approximstely the cradle or the beginning of the boom which end we are currently seeing. How many of those bags from then made it to the top? Its not gonna be a "let thr best bag win" scenario. Once its fizzled out it will.stay fizzled out for quite a while ❤

You know what’s crazy? A vintage Kelly is cheaper than a Chanel! I’m saving up this year for that . Then I’m done! I swear! 😂

I also love the mini Kelly. There is one for purchase that is in pristine, never worn condition, on Vestiare Collective, selling for $46,800 Canadian dollars. Is that not insane?!! I hope resellers will have no choice but to reduce the price for Hermes bags some day. There’s no way a mini Kelly should cost as much as a car! Price gouging at its finest 😒

I love the designs of the Dior book tote, but it's impractical for me bc it's fabric and no zip, so I just admire them from afar.

Fantastic video! Your insights into the luxury handbag market for 2024 are incredibly valuable. It's refreshing to hear an honest perspective on trends and practicality in fashion, especially when it comes to significant investments like high-end bags. Your balanced approach, emphasizing personal style over blindly following trends, really resonates with me. It's always a pleasure to watch your content and get thoughtful, well-reasoned advice. Looking forward to your future videos!🎉

The Dior book tote was just released in quilted leather and now looks a lot like the Lady Dior. It's a lot cheaper than the Lady Dior, however. 👌🏻❤️

My hunch on the Chanel classic flap is Chanel is actively wanting to reduce supply. CCFs had pretty much unlimited supply for the last 50 years (unlike Hermes) and the supply/ demand curve points to a future where the resale market could affect the primary. Remember the famous Hoover promotion that killed Hoover? It wasn’t the tickets to New York that took Hoover under, it was the number of Hoovers being sold second hand (and that was pre internet). Chanel have massively increased prices to protect the primary and secondary market prices and therefore protect the brand. In the end, much like buying shares, if some one has the funds to buy the bag and is buying with a nod to investment, the only question is would you bet on Chanel as a brand?

This was excellent and can totally understand the reasoning behind these choices. Loved it!!

I agree with a lot of your picks having some of these bags myself and hardly use them you are definitely right!

I love my mini Jodie. It’s like a butter, light and easy to carry and you need to restrain yourself from overloading it with junk. ☺️

My goal for 2024 is to finally buy the petite Malle ☺️ I've been wanting one for years but struggled with its price but this is the year I will get one ❤

I think you're right!! I fortunately have a classic flap from 2006 and a Mini Jodie from when they first came out at a much lower price point, and I continue to adore them unabated, but none of the bags you mentioned would be a sound "investment " right now.

Great video, Amelia! Your predictions are great! Love your content.

Love your practical advice in the luxury handbag space, Amelia Rose!
