5 French Mid-Luxury Handbag Brands Worth Knowing

Which one is your favorite amongst the brands/styles featured? 😊

Great Video! I love learning about new brands and it's great when you have an actual bag from their collection you can review! Thanks again!

Wow, they are all beautiful and functional handbags. Thanks for sharing. ❤

Saw your video and discovered Meniere and went to their website to check them out. I love the Archiduchess in brown but too bad it was sold out. Just wondering for the Meniere interior - what is it made of? I am deciding between getting the Meniere in black quilted Archiduchess or the Miouye Naomi 😊

may i know how big the meniere bag is? i'm curious so i googled it but no pictures come up :(

Yes to a series ☺️

Because Meniere is older as brand, doesn’t mean they have not copied a design, so question is who, including Kurt Geiger, made this model first.. Chanel or Meniere? 😊

I love everything! Thank you for sharing.

ARCHIDUCHESS QUILTED BAG - only one photo with low resolution on its website 😅

I like the Beracamy too.

I like the Maniere. Is the quilted one leather-lined?

Hannah, great video as always. Just a pronunciation tip: Atelier Auguste is pronounced “Ah tell eeyay Oh Goost” Close anyway… 😊

Such a great video ! Oh sure show me more bucket bags 😂😂😂 I think my fav still is the oleada mini marina bag and the A.P.C. grace bag are my next ones to get for my collection.

Does the Beracami bag snap in a different way than you demonstrated?

Love these recommendations and definitely looking forward to a part 2? Would also love to know how the quilted Meniere leather feels compared to a quilted Chanel classic flap?

😊

I bought the bag from Ateliers Auguste, and it’s high quality and looks great. My only issue with it is that the strap keeps slipping off my shoulder, and I constantly have to adjust it, which is inconvenient while walking.

Hannah, this video was amazing! The French handbag brands you recommended are so unique, and it’s refreshing to discover alternatives beyond the mainstream luxury brands! ✨ I was especially impressed by Manier Paris and its incredible history—didn’t realize it’s even older than Chanel! Thank you for always sharing such thoughtful and useful content, I’m definitely checking these brands out!

Somehow I still feel that quilted bags look better with CC clasp. 😝

Love❤❤❤ thanks for sharing. 💭💭🤔Hoping that Dress Up Your Purse would start making medium to large handbags for us Moms who need a little bit of a space😉

Great video. Part 2 please.

I have the Mini Monceau bag & it is my favorite bag to take when traveling. You can tuck in the straps & use it as a clutch & it makes a great crossbody bag that holds just what you need. I don’t baby it at all & it never scratches or shows wear.

I love your selection

I love the cognac version of the RSVP bag!! 😍

Thanks for this video, I love this edition of quality bags that are less than $1000. Nice job. Always a pleasure and delight watching your videos. Do you think some of the bigger fashion houses will take a page from these little beauties and make similar and more budget friendly bags under $1000 that are practical and functional? 🤔🤔 nice video again

So tired of Chanel, LV et al... also, these elegant and affordable bags make you less of a target!

Thanks for this video.... it's informative, love the third bag, simple and beautiful.. I owned a Lancel ( French designer) backpack in a fuchsia color, given it away but it was pretty and the quality was awesome.

Great options. Ateliers Auguste is pronounced Atelier Auguste (no S on Ateliers).

Love this serie please do more. I love discovering heritage brands I got Delvaux brillant after learning about their history and it’s so fascinating! Bc it’s really nice to find pieces that are not the social media viral styles

Really enjoy the camel bag

Always love your spotlight on lesser known brands! All of these bags have such a clean aesthetic but are reminiscent of some of the more well known brands. Thanks for sharing!

I love this, please add a part 2. Since the weight is also very important to me, would you mind to weight the bag, please? This info normally we as consumer don’t get on bags’ website. Recently, I saw MZ Wallace offers it, which is really useful. Thank you!

Definitely going to check out RSVP when I’m in France in 2026. Great vlog ☺️

Hi Hanna. Could you please do another short video on Meniere Archduchess bag, showing what kind of items you can fit in the bag and mod shots? Thanks!

I have that Merniere bag!

I just bought my first RSVP piece and it is wonderful. Thanks for highlighting ‘other’ brands.

Thank you so much for this! I really like the bag from Ateliers Auguste, as well as the one from Meniere Paris! Stunning! ❤👜❤

Thanks Hanna...I am looking for new brands and your video came to the rescue. Your recommendations have been a real joy. ❤ Have a blessed week!

Kurt Geiger definitely copied the first bag

Part 2 please! Always nice to know what other lesser-known brands are out there. Can you also do a more in-depth review on the Archiduchess bag or what fits in the bag kind of video 😊? Hope they would come out with a smaller version too.

All beautiful bags 😍 I love the bucket & tote bags❤

I am very intrigued about the Beracami bag!

What about apc that you used to promote ? I feel like the title should be “5 Parisian brands you should know that influencers are promoting right now “

Love this video and can’t wait for the next beautiful discoveries! ☺️

I love bag #2, not the colour so much but the design idea, fantastic and different...Can l make a suggestion. To put the brand names featured in the title of the video so when people search for the brand name your video comes up. I say this because 2 days ago the brand Danse Lente came up onto my feed. I wanted to see more of their bags (I am in love) so videos featuring their name were most helpful. Also You hit the nail on the head for me, I am uninspired by the mainstream lux brands. I only realised this when l saw the bags by Danse Lente 💜

You’ve made me love bags once again. Thank you.

Ateliers Auguste’s bags have always grabbed my attention.
Their leather looks so nice and smooth. Maybe I should give them a try

There’s a french heritage brand that I love because they don’t use cotton canvas, but they use printed lambskin leather for all their bags and SLGs, which makes them so soft and supple!
They do have a pretty interesting history that goes back to the 18th century! The brand is called Moreau.

This was so fun to watch! Can’t wait for part 2!
