Let Hermes donate him a bag to justify their ridiculous price tag
I can't wait to review an Hermes bag too 😁
I believe he reviewed an Evelyne already. I’d like to see a Birkin or Kelly
I would like to see a review on Hermes Birkin,I bought preloved. They were very expensive over $10,000 I make great money now, I’m getting smarter with my money.
@@tanner.leathersteincan you also incorporate the brands treatment of artisan employees (working conditions & payment if possible) into your reviews? I think it's also important to know that the artists are getting their fair recognition.
@@emerybaybluesit’s the same kind of leather .
It is costed around $400-500 and at the beginning only sold around $2500-3000s which was a bit fair for LV pricing standard, but now it is sold for $7500, it's hard to swallow 😮 i like this one tbh
I got it when it very first came out in 2013. It was $6200 then for the one I have.
People who spend big bucks on bags usually don't care about quality. They care about status. If you have $10,000-100,000 to spend on a quality bag, why not get one custom made at *esluxy* ? Choose your materials, thread, stitch pattern, design, and hardware. Imagine you have a $10,000 bag that's made from $7,000 of quality materials and $3,000 of labor. Currently, you're not paying for the materials, you're paying for the marketing.
A lady I work for her house worth £3-4 million and guess what. Her bags are *esluxy* worth £60 on the road. What l learned from her. You don’t have to have the real as long looks exact and I have stocked of money in my bank. I used to buy the real to a point realising I don’t need to waste money
My Chanel SA told me they are raising prices to discourage reselling. Prices in the UK have increased by 64%, which is crazy to me and I will not be buying any bags from them anytime soon. I feel their prices are too high right now and I have been buying Chanel recently at *esluxy* .
I love LV cappucine but after watching this I feel disappointed.
My dad gifted my mum one of the capucines MM in the beige colour for her birthday and she absolutely LOVES it!
Caviar leather looks little different, and at $109, it's the first time I've seen a high-quality, low-priced *esluxy*
Thank you for showing the real value of the luxury bags. The heavy marketing and perception of society make some people believe that these bags are worth the money, which is clearly not the case.
Thank you for your support. Glad to hear that my videos are helpful in shedding some light on the leather luxury!
The 10s of millions spent on distribution, marketing and not to mention rent in the most premium locations all around the world.. is what everyone here conveniently fails to account for )just so they can shit on affluent consumers).
If LV remained a small goods manufacturer in France I'm sure they could get it at 15% of the current price.. but then only 1% of ppl would even make it to the store..
@@pankjadhikari33 Which is why it's better to buy directly from small artisans if it's quality you're looking for - because if you value the brand over the actual bag you have to pay for all the Vogue ads and fancy stores and private jets and executive salaries instead of the product itself.
I really enjoyed watching you carefully take this bag about . It speaks to your level of expertise. It doesn’t have the shock factor but is very calming.
I LOVE THE WAY THIS BAG LOOKS AND AM SO HAPPY YOURE REVIEWING THIS!! Thank you thank you!!’
I hope this review helped! Thank you!
A very insightful video - it’s interesting how sometimes people buy replicas and then pretend they are the real thing, which in a way feeds into that sense of exclusivity that discourages people from buying the real thing in the first *esluxy* ! Like the drama that happened on the reality show Singles in Hell
Hi Tanner great review here thank you! The bag was made 2015 and I am not surprised why the quality is superb. I have some LV bags purchased before and after covid though I am not a leather expert but I can definitely tell the difference in texture and even the way they put the glazing on. I dont know if its just me but I think the quality of the luxury bags declined after covid yet their prices are now ridiculously unreal.
Indeed, this appears to be the case with many products. I've noticed a similar decline in furniture that claims to be solid wood but is clearly lighter and less dense than older solid wood furniture.
its up to the consumer to decide how much they value the design, the brand, and the prestige. these videos are awesome to see how much the production costs are, especially when it comes to simpler designs that you could find from multiple brands.
Thank you for reviewing this bag! Keep up the fantastic work and looking forward to how you use the lv leather to construct a new bag
It's my pleasure! Thank you for your support!
Your videos ROCK! Keep doing them please - they are so informative and insightful. 👏🏽
Thanks for the support 🙌
This videos are so relaxing and informative, very nice to watch after a long day. Thank you for the content 🌟
you are so real(real) tanner!! thank you for staying independent! ive been telling everyone to check out your channel 😊
Thank you. Really enjoying your expertise and detailed reviews.
Once again your review is excellent about a big designer house, love learning about learning can’t wait to see what you do with the learning for a new bag
I love my LV Capucine, my sweet husband bought it for me for my birthday. It is a bit rare because it has a beautiful fleur d le studded design on the front. It is really nice to know it is made very well. Thanks ☺
Definitely a great bag. Thank you for watching! :)
I just aquired my first ever Cap (metallic lizard).
Good to know the craftsmanship on these is top notch ❤
Thanks for the dissection ❤
Thank you for your honest review. Love your videos as always.
Thank you so much! 😁
Love your videos. They teach us how marketing has brainwashed into thinking we need externals to make us feel better about ourselves. Even if I could afford a luxury bag, I would feel guilty about spending money that could have gone to a great charity like Doctors without Borders instead.
Thank you for your kind comments and support!
Bruh.. you don't have to put down one to like the other. We get your virtual signaling. If you have enough money for both then do it. If you don't then don't. No one is telling you what to do with your money.
I could not agree more. I would never justify spending that on a handbag. $7k? So insane.
@@disappearintothesea I agree with your comment and think more people need to see it. Virture signalling is tiresome and ignores the extensive and intensive pressures we face to look good (expensive). But if I may provide a balance between the two comments, I'd also say that if you can't afford both monetarily, spend more time researching into what other brands/products that can give more bang for buck. I think that's precisely why I appreciate this channel and why most of us are here
@@disappearintothesea I'm honestly always amazed by how so many comments here are personally offended by luxury like a gun is being held to their heads. There's a saying in my language that the croaking of the frog doesn't stop the cow from drinking water.
I’m surprised the glazing on this 8 years old Capucines hasn’t crack. There was an issue on the glazing around that time, people experienced melting and cracking. I myself has bought twice brand new and saw cracks on the glazing when I got home. No doubt it’s the best leather selection used, but the price LV charged today is insane. Back in 2014, the bb size was £2480 and now it has gone up to £5K ish….but I didn’t see the quality being double😬 I would say it’s a very beautiful bag but stressful to use, knowing the glazing will start to give way one day at the back of our head👎🏻. Great video as always👏🏻
Thank you for sharing your experience with this bag and the price history. Very helpful to know as I am learning these recently.
I’ve just discovered your page and I love the content and details. Thank you for also offering your leather goods. I’ll be ordering something for sure! Keep up the excellent work with this content, your investigation coupled with knowledge sharing, and creation of quality leather goods.
Thank you for your kind words. It is my mission to help the world understand and experience leather better so I am trying to serve that goal with my content and crafts.
Capucines is a favorite of mine. Love watching your channel.
I actually like that bag, but cannot believe it’s that much now! Sheesh! Great video btw, so talented. ❤❤❤
i love you so much! I recently just found your hidupz and i’m in love!! Your videos are so fun and you energy is just MWAH! keep living your life
This bag design is pretty.
The logo placement is just fits right.
I'm surprised not all your bags were pre-owned. This is amazing and informative and I don't even have a purse.
agree that pre-loved would be totally fine for these deconstructions! i like seeing how the bag holds up after wear
Good estimate $410 ,However we still have to consider other factors WHY they're so expensive . They pay for the material, their Artisan , boutique employee, rent or lease on the space, packaging, courier, and all those Celebrity Endorser .
Enjoyed watching your video! Thanks!! I’m curious to see your analysis on Mansur Gavriel bags!!
Love this! Keep up the amazing work 👏
Glad you like it. Thank you for your support!
His bbkbags tote is beautifully colored, very sturdy and the perfect size. Not too small, not too big. I look forward to joining my rotation.
Thank you for your unbiased review ❤
You're very welcome! Thank you a s well for your support!
Thank you for you honesty and your channel…God Bless you
Thank you very much for your kind words! I'm glad to hear that you enjoy the content! 👏🌟
Thank you so much for this! Can you please do a dissection on the Celine Triomphe bag?
Excellent review, love your channel. Can you please do a Chanel jumbo, and Hermes Birkin? Thank you for all you do.
Thank you for reviewing 🙏👏
the LYXBAG would be super cute during the fall with a nude or tan or even tonal outfit! i’m thinking a tan wool coat with that bag!!
The variety of textures in the *yutulu* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
Hi Bro thank you for your efforts I wonder your opinions about Delvaux if I'm not mistaken its even older than Hermes
Despite its high quality leather, the cost to price ratio is even harder to swallow.
The reality is, there is no mass produced bag that can justify $7500. There are some bags that can justify that price, I think they are pretty much all made in Japan, bespoke, require an in-person meeting to discuss the bag, and have a multi-year waitlist.
Or anything made by the hands of a craftsman
Indeed, no factory made mag deserve that price for its quality and craftsmanship. It will be the logo you are paying for. But there are artisans even in USA, Europe and many other countries who make bespoke bags of that kind all by hand and they command those prices. I know Japan has great leather artisans and I am hoping to visit one day. Thank you for your comment
LV Capucines don’t hold the same values for the like of Chanel classic flap and Hermès Birkin/Kelly. Sometime we don’t pay for a high quality bag itself, but we pay for images and status that comes with it.
True and that's fine as long as you know the price is not really much about the materials or quality, it is for the prestige engineered on that product! We are free to choose what we like to pay for. My goal is to just provide an additional data point to leather shoppers.
@@tanner.leathersteinI love this view you have. I can’t afford most of these items but it’s nice to know you’re not looking down on those that buy these.
The capucines have never been what LV is about despite how much marketing they put into it. LV has always been about the monogram, which, in my opinion, is tacky af lol I much prefer the equally rude and loud but less tacky damier haha
What? The Chanel classic flap doesn’t hold much value either (take it from someone who has one and has also sold it). The LV Capuccines resale at £3,000 easily, so does the Chanel classic flap (actually take a look). The Hermes bags resale much higher because of the stringent code for obtaining it brand new in the first place. All bags are high quality, higher than your street shop AND more than a small boutique for certain AND yes it’s also for the status, this isn’t new information.
The Capuccines is one of LVs most expensive bag, way more than any of the monogrammed stuff. Isn’t it funny how the more monogrammed - the cheaper, the less monogrammed the more expensive and higher quality.
Your lovely video definitely need a Hermes exotic handbag 🤭🤭🤭
It would be interesting to see the Petite Malle (also LV)
Could you don the LV Avenue Slingbag NM in the future please? Thanks
Oh that hurt to see this beautiful bag ripped apart.This is my favourite LV bag but I could never justify the retail price even if the quality is superlative.
Just shows how much a mark up these luxury stores do! Insane! No wonder the CEO’s are worth fortunes!
Have you reviewed any Staud bag? If no do you think it’s worth doing and will you do that?
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
thank you for sharing it
Thanks for your video ❤
Thank you for watching! 🙏
I think the pink Gucci bag would look lovely in summer with a white top and light blue denim *topluxs*
I find the Capucines one of the most beautiful modern classic bags. Yes, you will be paying for a premium the materials and craftsmanship and the heritage behind the brand. But how do we properly quantify the design of a bag?
It is impossible to quantify the design of a bag as it is quite personal. And my estimates leave those subjective parts out and share my experience in industry average costs that I am familiar with in these products.
Tanner such a nice guy he's not being sponsored by anyone.😊
The place to be.. so in love with the *yutulu*
Please do a LV black empreinte range speedy if possible!
Hi, please could you do Celine brand ?. Merci
Videolariniz gittikçe güzelleşiyor.
Tesekkurler. Ogrenerek devam etmeye calisiyoruz
I was thinking about purchasing this bag. LOL. TY
This one is actually good! It might be worth it for you :)
Great video. 👍
Thank you!🙏
Many thanks for THIS GREAT videos 🎩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
You are very welcome
🎩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you!
Greetings from Moscow I wish my wife also watched your videos😂 you got my point
please evaluate DOONEY AND BOURKE leather bag...thx
How about Giorgio Armani La Prima Bag??
Hello. I just have bag like Louise Vuitton side trunk mm in monogram priced at $3800. What do you think ?
Could you please review the Lady Dior. Please. Thank you! 🤍✨
This seem like a dumb question to ask but what is the difference between the leather use in this LV bag versus what coach uses as glovetanned leather? Is LV leather better?
Thank you for the question. This particular leather is really good. In fact best one I saw from the LV yet. But mostly Coaches glove tanned leather is also a great leather. If you compare glove tanned leather it is superior to many other lower level leathers from LV, like Epi leather.
@@tanner.leatherstein Thank you for taking the time to reply
Many people say LV quality has plummeted the past few years, this bag could be considered vintage so maybe the new quality isn't as good.
I am not that experienced in the luxury space. In fact I started to look into these brands just a couple years ago as more of my audience requested these reviews for new brands and products. So I can't tell if the quality is deteriorated but I will keep that in mind as I review some old and new bags for each project. May be I will notice a difference and share that later on. Thank you for you support!
Whilst I agree, 2015 is NOT vintage.
@@jamesjoseph3881 well, I wasn’t obviously referring to a 1980 piece… let’s say it’s just “old”
Your amazing ❤❤❤❤
Would love to know if you think the 2.5k you spent was worth the price since the preloved market for luxury goods is very popular right now
I would say whenever we are talking super brands the answer will depend on your values. Because even that $2400 I paid is purely for logo not an 8 year old leather bag. If you ask me personally absolutely not worth it because I don’t value logos. I would rather buy 4 brand new different leather bags from Strathberry for that money and use them for decades changing between for different bags. Absolutely same quality leather and craftsmanship without the prestige premium.
thank you so much for your dedication and for replying! :) @@tanner.leatherstein
En el momento en que vi el bolso *yutulu*, supe que tenía que tenerlo.
En el momento en que vi el bolso HIDUPZ, supe que tenía que tenerlo
As a CA at LV I can confirm the Capucines is as beautiful as timeless, the leather is divine. If you have the budget absolutely go for it...
the price of the two bra nds, Peter and Milo are similar to or above the LV bag, no?
Although it varies, I am sure Milo's bag's over $4k and Peter's work should also start from that range. Now the saddle stitched bespoke bags are crafted with completely different and artisan approach. Much more time and effort goes into each than factory manufactured bags. So the cost estimates wouldn't be comparable from the assembly standpoint.
Can you please take apart a Chanel 22? That bag has been very controversial.
Impressive and unexpected
I do like your videos. But occasionally you understate a lot the value of labor in France of Brands like Chanel, Hermes and LV, from personal experience they are really well paid. Also take into account that the work week in France is 35 hours, up to 45 hours with overtime max. Also by law they have 4 weeks of paid vacation and most people at this type of companies get 6 weeks of paid time off. Even the cleaning staff gets well paid in most of them. And for the ones that use cheap labor they go to Portugal or Spain (they get paid more than average local Joe, but still cheaper than in France). You correct in saying they are way overpriced most of the time, I remember the first I entered the LV flagship in Champs Elysée and they were like 3500€ like 13 years ago.
Love The realreal!
try to dissect goyard bag
Dooney and Bourke Flourentine. Test that.
I love hi end porcelain. If l had this sort of money that Where it would go
What would we do without Tanner Leatherstein?!! 🙌🏾
Is this bag hand stitched? If yes, maybe the labour cost is higher?
No this bag is machine sewn. Hand stitched bags take a lot longer and cost much more in the crafting. So looking at the price I would love to see a hand stitched bag.
$410 sold for $8,000. What is the mark up on that?!
Isn’t the grain embossed? It looks more embossed than natural grain
Can you review cuyana?
I reviewed Cuyana a few months ago! You can check it on my profile :)
Is it ethical to use baby cows skin? Do baby cows get killed for leather ? Sorry I’m new to the leather industry was shock when you mentioned male calf’s 😮
This bag made in 2015. Quality was much better then!
How much could they realistically still sell at and still make profit like 1000$?
I think their profit on that $7500 would be somewhere of $2-2.5k - The majority of their cost inflating these prices are the premium real estate (stores) marketing, fashion shows and celebrity collabs which are all essential to engineer the luxury on the logo that people are actually paying for. So it is hard for me to guess a price point for them to sell this and make $1k profit. But if you buy this from a company who doesn't have any of those prestige creating expenses than they can sell this to you at $1.6-2k and be sustainable profitable business.
@@tanner.leatherstein thanks for letting me know so I wasn’t too far off on what the price realistically would be
@@tanner.leathersteinthis is REALLY helpful information!! Thank you!!!
Always happy to help. Thank you!
@@tanner.leatherstein I do appreciate this a lot because you have confirmed to me that many of these ‘luxury’ brands are ripping us off as I began to learn more so the hard way after buying this ferragamo wallet and after only 6 months the color started to wear off and I paid nearly 500 for it and was pissed. Since then been researching more and found your channel which has been very helpful to avoid such a pitfall in the future again. Gentlemen’s gazette I also found very helpful who have similar philosophies. Thanks!
I'm just here to see if this was authentic. Some vendors do not have the best reputations regarding their merchandise.
Yes, that's whole another issue and a deep dive video on that coming next Wednesday, stay tuned!
I don’t agree with that estimate of $250 for the work required for this bag. Is this saying that it would only take one hour to make? That’s unbelievable.
If you wouldn t exist, you should to be invented. Your job is very useful for us!
Thank you for your support. It means a lot to me!
Real real is not a good place to buy authentic bag. Last year, my friend bought a Gucci Marmint Mini Shoulder bag for around $1,600 and on the website said it's authentic. Since it was a good price my friend bought a lot of them and plan to resell. He took the bags and asked the bag experts and they all said they were fake. I also looked at some CZcams videos and everything that showed how to spot the fake one were all in that bag. So yeah big learning lessons for my friend.
I have a cappuccine LV bag…. Looks very different to be honest
Sorry to say this but not sure about the authenticity of this piece
Love your videos,帮我省钱！
Thank you!
@@tanner.leatherstein thank you!💪
OMG! So its real cost is about $410?!! Somebody give me a glass of water pleaseee😲😲💦
At the risk of stating the obvious, the arguable value of the bag is the LV branding itself. $500 bag and $7,000 of brand 🤷♂️
beautiful bag but too heavy to take it daily
i mostly love the channel but The Real Real has been caught out there not having the best authentication. unless you bought it direct i would confirm its legit first.
Dude do these brands hate you ?
1st ❤
Thank you so much! 😊
7500 is too much for this bag.
