I’ve spent £7.5k on designer bags but hate them – one looks like it’s from Zara and is ruined after I used it once
WHETHER it’s buying something completely impractical or a dress you’re 50/50 about, we’ve all made some purchases we regret later on in life.
And the YouTube sensation, Blair Walnuts, from the US, is no exception.
The social media star, who rose to fame a few years ago, loves the finer things in life and often treats herself to high-end designer items – and pricey bags are on the list too.
But despite having forked out a fortune, the blonde has grown to loathe some of these, including one by Botegga Veneta.
Urging people to be more mindful of their purchases – which is particularly important during the cost-of-living crisis – Blair took to TikTok to reveal which bags she regrets buying the most.
”I literally hate most designer bags that I buy,” she said, before revealing the first she’s planning to sell – the Bottega Veneta Cassette bag which retails for more than an eye-watering £1,700.

Holding the cream coloured accessory, Blair said: ”It literally looks like Zara made it, I’m sorry Bottega.
”It also has very obvious signs of wrinkling – and I’ve worn this bag once.”
Next up in the now-viral video was the popular ABCDior mini bag the blonde had spent a whopping £4,000 on whilst shopping in London.
Though back when she purchased it a few years ago she liked it, the blush colour now reminds the YouTuber of tonsils.

”I picked it though – so I can’t blame anybody.
”But this bag for some reason is giving me third wife on her way to Gala.

”Perhaps an Instagram model who just got got a bag.”
Amongst the designer accessories she wants to get rid of as soon as possible was also the iconic Le Chiquito pink mini bag by JACQUEMUS.
The miniature purse, which took over our social media feeds and high-streets this summer, retails for anywhere between £410 to over £500 and has been seen on almost every celebrity and influencer.
But although Blair has nothing against the design of it, she hates the comments she gets all the time whenever rocking the bag.
”Oh Blair, where do you put your phone? Where do you put this? Where do you put that?”
”Shut up,” the fashion lover was fed up.
Last, the blonde demonstrated the final accessory – Fendi Roma mini bag with tortoise print handles.
Reflecting on the almost £1,300 purchase, Blair said: ”I bought this because I thought the handles were interesting.
”However, it stays open the entire time.
”It flips over a lot – all your stuff flies out all the time.”

The YouTuber continued in the caption: ”Just because you can buy it, doesnt mean you should.
”Do your research about quality and practically of a designer bag bc [because] just bc its bottega or dior or fendi doesnt mean its perfect [sic].”
