IM SO GLAD SOMEONE WITH A PLATFORM SAID THE BIRKIN IS UGLY. IT IS SIMPLY A STATUS SYMBOL. I have said for years that if Birkins were at Walmart then not a single person would look twice at it.
Indeed - I don't think you can put that design into Walmart shelves, they wouldn't buy it!
@@tanner.leatherstein I think Walmart does sell a "Birkin" bag on the handbag section; hideous, plastic "leather", nobody buys it.
That is your opinion, I think the Birkin is a beautiful bag.
Agreed!
@@annajustinewhite1743 it’s such a basic design. Maybe it’s not ugly, but it’s definitely not a pretty bag. If people saw the design somewhere else before they learnt about Hermès and it’s exclusivity, I doubt they would buy it for 10 times less. There are great designs out there for perhaps 100 times less but they don’t sell as good as birkins because small businesses don’t have all the resources for marketing.
It’s laughable that Hermès sales associates are instructed to say “We’ve sold our last piece and the rest is display only”. Hysterical.
They dont care… if you ask to see a simple wallet in the display they tell you no right to your face.
kay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the *preluxscom* book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations.
When I saw *preluxscom* , I was already addicted
For me this is perhaps your best video. Well-researched, yet at the same time offering us your complete opinion as a craftsman. Thank you!!
Thank you. Very valuable for me to hear your thoughts so I can get better at making this content. I appreciate your support
I bought a new Gucci bag at *preluxscom* and my whole family praised this bag.
Y’all, no one buys Hermes for leather. Everyone buys Hermes for status 😂
FACTS!! There’s a lot of great quality leather out there at a fraction of their prices.
I worked as a jeweler for a year. I worked with palladium it is, and it isn't expensive. The palladium plating concentrate is sold in a 1 liter bottle. The bottle is like $1000+ dollars.
And to make the plating solution you need about 8 oz of deionized water in a glass beaker, and add like 1/2 oz of the palladium solution. And then you set up the electrical connection, for plating.
I had a black palladium plated LV Louis Vuitton belt buckle that was "peeling" off the black metal plating.
And since I was working as a jeweler; I polished it to remove the black plating, gave it a sand blasted finish, and palladium plated it for like 15 minutes to get a super thick plating coating.
Thank you for sharing the details. My source estimated the palladium cost on this type of coating to be about 3-5 Euros roughly. So it is not much palladium at all but it is better than other buckles we see around.
@@tanner.leatherstein True, in the jewelry business the palladium metal plating pays for itself.
If you pay for the bottle $1000 dollars, and you charge to polish and palladium plate white gold rings $50 dollars you need about 20 rings to polish and palladium plate to total $1000 dollars.
And 1/2 oz of the plating solution can easily plate over 50 rings.
To spend 990 for a belt, no thanks. Not even $50 for me. I don't even support leather. There are many cruelty free belt options that are equally beautiful, functional and affordable. And if one uses leather, that is fine. As long as the source is ethical, that animals are treated well while they are alive, given dignity, before they are sacrificed for products.
@@Dandelion_flightaren’t they sacrificed for food? Leather is a byproduct in such a case.
@@Dandelion_flight Most "vegan" leathers are polyurethane and plastic. They don't biodegrade, and can leech into groundwater, adding microplastics to our environment. While leather is a byproduct of beef farming. Tanner did a good video recently about the greenwashing of the industry.
We are kind of morally torn either way. It's kind of a catch-22
Thank you for mentioning artisans and alternatives that I can go to for quality leather goods. It’s about time the luxury brands get some accountability!
Did he mention alternatives in this video? I must-have miss it
I am a luxury consumer and I like some of Hermés products, but I NEVER saw anything special on both Birkin and Kelly bags. Extremely common designs, excellent craftsmanship but nothing you wouldn’t see on other good brands, and ridiculously high prices. Even if you can afford it, simply doesn’t make sense to spend money on such an ordinary piece like those. Hermés nowadays is just a proof that status can be more valuable than money itself.
Well said! Thank you for sharing this
Those common designs were made common because of the hermes I guess
Which luxury brand do you like best in terms of quality?
At my mom's 56th birthday party, I gave her one purchased at *preluxscom*
Amei todas as bolsas lindas e de muito bom gosto.Parabens *preluxscom*
I’d forgotten how Hermès were traditionally a saddlery & harness business at the beginning. Throughout their branding there is the use of equestrian symbolism. I’ve had a look at their website & they’ve continued to make saddles, horse blankets & other equestrian items. I looked up the saddlery company GFS who made my horse’s saddle in Walsall, UK. They are still in business & also adverting for a trainee saddler too for £23K a year. It’s good to see that the midlands still has the traditional saddlery industry.
Louis vuitton were saddle makers at one point, too. They used to have quality leather but everything changed a while back & became cheaper and poorer quality
Louis Vuitton was never a saddlery
@@twinflamegirl9901they made trunks
Girl where have been. This has been going on for awhile now *esluxscom*
You are refreshingly educational and honest. So good at your craft. Keep up the great work, Tanner.
I appreciate your encouraging words. Rest assured, I will continue to provide clear and reliable insight!
I live close to the Mexico border. I always go for *esluxscom* , their quality is great. Some of them are made with leather and really hard to tell the difference from real or not. Either way, it’s your choice. No judgement from me
Thank you, Tanner, for your hard work and also for the valuable information you provide, that educate us about the world of leather!!
Thank you for your support. It is my pleasure!
I appreciate you saying that Birkins are ugly because I have never understood their appeal. I like neither their looks nor their ease of use. I have been given great fakes but I just couldn't do it. They felt fussy and awkward and so I passed them on.
The variety of textures in the *esluxscom* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
Love mamacoo the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other CZcamsr can show off bags in as much detail as you.
The only Hermes bag design I ever liked was the Constance. I'd be interested in your reviewing and interviewing Hermes employees who have since left the company and started their own brands. April in Paris is one and she actually also has a school in leathercraft.
The only Hermes bag I'd buy is the Constance, but that price... no bueno
Yes, thank you for saying it: Birkin bags look like bags for old ladies. I grew up seeing more mature women wearing Hermès and Chanel bags. So this trend since Gossip girls etc when young girls wear Chanel and Hermès is still so weird to me.
I agree, a Hermes bag is an old lady bag
I really like both, but they are indeed for mature women, I never like them when I was a young woman, they don’t look good in the youth.
It’s the bag that the moms in Kdramas where.
I don't know how luxury brands work or the production costs, but they should use full grain leather in their belts if they are going to sell them at abysmal prices. I build belts for myself and some of my friends, I use 3.5mm thick full grain cowhide with 100% sterling silver buckles, for approximately 75 dollars maximum, full silver, not coated. I love your channel, Mr. Tanner. I got started in leather goods by watching your videos.
My SA was not coy at all informing me that I need to build a purchase history to access the desirable products.
No matter if it's the *esluxscom* or any other, my steadfast belief stands that only practitioners can perceive dissimilarities in the sack's looks or the metal constituents.
I'll never, ever buy any item from any store that doesn't want my business.
that's what I feel as soon as i feel the games or unpolite approach, don't care how good your products are.
@@tanner.leatherstein love your vids and breakdowns mate 👍🙂🇦🇺
most of the store is not handbags, they have everything from teacups to shoes to horse saddles to shirts to perfumes to neckties to scarves. you can walk in off the street to buy pretty much anything. They don't want to sell the bags to resellers for a lot of reasons and that's not unique to them. musicians hate scalpers too. the odds that some random dude in jeans is going to buy a $12k bag for his own use is basically zero.
If they don’t want your business, they certainly don’t deserve your hard earned money.
The one thing Hermes does is make amazing scarves. They are just gorgeous and a wonderful addition to something’s wardrobe.
I have no knowledge of fabrics but I heard the quality from other people.
Agree about their scarves. If I was into scarves on the regular I would definitely buy from them.
I like Dior’s scarves better.
Not only the quality, all the unique designs and collaborations with different artists are also so interesting. many of them are pretty enough to hang it up on the wall as art pieces.
They set up a silk scarf silk screening rig and a collection of vintage scarves in an expo in SF. The scarfs were pretty spectacular, with incredible color vibrancy.
I heard that Delvaux is the other brand that is still use handstitching method to their bag
I’ve been following Peter and Lili for years and I’m so happy to hear someone else mention their work! They make amazing products and Peter has even made products specifically for companies like Patek Philippe! Definitely worth a lot more than Hermes in my opinion
Thank you for linking artisans in the end! I try to get all my bags/shoes/belts in leather as it's more resilient and durable but a 10x mark up? Not going to happen in a million years. Especially if most goes to stock holders not the craftsman making it. I want to pay for the product and the craft NOT a status symbol and brand name. Thank you for bringing out those who deserve credit where credit is due!
I agree the bag is not attractive and not only that but they look as they are that functional as opening them seems more complicated and I prefer easy of use.
Finally! this is the video that I've been waiting for! thank you so much for sharing your expertise and honest review! Nobody should be spending loads of their hard-earned money on a ridiculously overpriced bag. Happy holidays and wishing you the best always! PS. : I'm about to check your suggestions and might invest in those excellent quality and affordable pieces instead! I want to distance myself from mainstream overpriced luxury! Thank you thank you!
Glad it was helpful! And I appreciate your support. Happy holidays!
GREAT VIDEO!!!! 🔥 Absolutely LOVE your take on all the brands you examine. Loved that you included the history of Hermes. Love that you think the Birkin is ugly and impractical 😂
Thank you for your support. Very glad to hear you enjoyed it. Trying to share what learn and think about brands you guys asked me to look into. It is fun
If you really want to buy a bag from the store, you need to be more specific when you ask for one. It's not that Hermes don't think you are deserving, it's just they hate resellers and instruct their sales associates to avoid them. If you go in stores just asking for any bag, then the answer will always be "sorry, we don't have any". However if you show genuine interest in their products, like asking for "in the loop bag belt bag" in etoupe color, togo leather, gold hardware things may be different. Let then know you are familiar with their products, like bags that are not trendy, and the sales associates will likely warm up to you. They will see you as true costumer. Another tip is to go for tax free stores inside airports and ask for a specifc bag. If they have it in stock, they are obligated to sell it to you because they are not allowed to hide inventory.
I didn't know any of this. Actually I almost always go to the airport stores as I travel around for leather. I will try these in my next visits. Thank you for your helpful insights.
Sounds extremely narcissistic, no?
A customer always have the power, since you have the funds and you have the executive choice to buy or not to buy.
But you come to Hermes and it sounded like you need to beg them just to purchase their product.
Sounds a little insane to me.
It's like entering an exclusive country club. You're paying big bucks, and still you have to go through a very demanding waiting list and hard scrutiny.@@Sphinx077
@@Sphinx077thats what you call the hermes game.
@@jeffersonperrylepon9623 Funny.
If I am to throw away my money, best way to make a statement, would be to buy their most exclusive and most expensive product and burn it for all to see.
That would be far more satisfying, than just buying it and carry it with you, for everyone else to admire or envy, walking around with it like an airhead peacock.
Yes. That would be the kind of game I am willing to play.
I find your channel super interesting (though sometimes heartbreaking to see the items dissected!) and I love learning more about leathercraft. I am keen to see and hear your opinion of Justine Leconte's new handbag line - she is a designer with a fantastic CZcams channel and is really proud of her latest release. Sustainability and quality is a primary focus for her and it would be really interesting to hear your take on her pieces, particularly as she has sourced plant-tanned leathers from within Europe and is using an atelier in Portugal as well.
Excellent as always, Tanner - thank you & happy holidays!🌲🕯️🎀
Glad you enjoyed it. You too have Happy Holidays 🎄
I am always looking forward to your videos. They are so informative and helps us to make better choice. We all love quality products but dont want to pay the overprice. Thank you
The Bolide bag is a lot easer to use. That is the bag that Hermes designed for the zipper.
Didn't know that. Thank you for sharing
Lv alma design is similar
I love how you analyse these brands and your honest opinions.
I still love my LV reverse monogram bbkbags clutch! It's versatile, fits a variety of items, and is definitely a workhorse! I think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof that it's already a classic.
Thank you Tanner for keep educating us ❤ Possible to do video for APC bag pleaseee 😊
Great video. As someone who owns only two luxury bags (YSL & Celine) , I have always wondered why Hermes is so expensive. I have never craved it till date but no hate to folks who dream to own it. To me it looks mediocre.. I would rather buy a LV or a Chanel bag.
It’s the quality of their bags. Once you own one, you’ll never go back to LV or Chanel. Both brands have mediocre quality compared to Hermes. I would know so since I own a lot of LV and Chanel bags, but the Hermes bags superb in quality.
@@layzeh3266this is so true! Chanel went totally crazy with their prices and their quality went downhill.
With LV prices, it is similar.
I would never again buy a Chanel bag in store.
@@layzeh3266 And some of the vintage Hermes bags are superb. I have a White Bus tote that has all the craftsmanship and still looks as good as new.
THen you are probably ignorant. The quality has nothing to do with LV or Chanel, both subcontracts a large part of their bag production to suppliers in France. LV stills produces some of their most prestigious bags directly but not all the production.
Every Hermès bags is produced in France, by Hermès artisans. Here is the difference.
Chanel was a Nazi informant. I always shake my head when I see someone with brown skin supporting that brand.
Thanks for this great video, Tanner! Merry Christmas!
Same to you!
I love the Hermès fragrances. They tend to be not that well known or worn by many. The Un Jardin range is of fragrances are very fresh but, I love wearing Kelly Calèche as it reminds me of meadow hay & roses.
I think they’re garbage and last for about 45 minutes
I find the Hermès fragrances last for days when I spritz them on my clothes. However, everyone’s experiences are different with fragrances as there are so many factors that affect the longevity.
No clue about their fragrance line...
I only discovered their Kelly Calèche fragrance through an advert sample in a fashion magazine. I liked it & then sought it out at a department store.
Thank you for your interesting & educational video. I agree about supporting artisans rather than designer labels, however many people don’t value the skills of the craftsmanship & prefer the status of a ‘luxury brand’. I really enjoy watching your videos & wish you a Happy Christmas 🎄
@@tanner.leatherstein Hermes fragrance line is one of the better ones in the 'fashion' world...Chanel comes second...both of these brands employ an in-house perfumer. So it's good to see the same pride extends to that side.
Loved your video. It’s refreshing to hear from the perspective of a leather craftsman.
I used to have a line of bags I designed, mostly in exotic leathers.
Anyway, I think it’s wonderful you are highlighting the talented people who can create leather goods independently of the large corporations.
I will say though, I think the community needs those big companies to set the bench mark for pricing. That way, even the independent craftsperson, can charge a reasonable amount for their hard work.
Great perspective. I agree, we need the brands like Hermes to set lots of standards and benchmarks not only in price but quality, ethics and environmental practices. So it is not fair to bash at the corporations as they are pure evil. As always a good balance of corporations, small businesses and artisans make all of us better.
your videos are so enjoyable and so informative - thank you :)
"Birkin is ugly" YES THANK YOU. I respect Hermes, but there are plenty of Hermes bags that aren't a Birkin or a Kelly that actually looks good.
thank u for always delivering your viewers with great content.More power to you and your channel.👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Thank you so much, I appreciate message like this! :)
I love their Silk Scarves ❤
I don’t know about their bags. Thank you for sharing your perspective on Hermes
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!
You're video is always entertaining and we thank you for your amazing work. 👏 ❤
I love Peter Nitz collection...
Nowadays i focus more on leather quality. However I learn that most of the leather goods that use good leather without brand is targeting the male customer more than the female. Thus, the collection designed for female is quite limited. Can you dive more deep into this?
This is my favorite video you made. Very informative.
I'm thrilled to hear that it's your favorite! Thank you so much for your support
A very interesting look into a highly specialized field. If I hadn't seen this video I am confident, that I would have never gotten this perspective on luxury leather goods. Thank you for the great video! :)
It's not entertaining.. It is an unbiased informative and educational content - as expected. Ugh, love your work!
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the bbkbags leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
I carried a Hermes since the early 90s. I love the Birkin and I love the Kelly, I love the Constance,I love the Paris Bombay east west. I love my wallets. I just think they’re gorgeous they’re just so amazing. I understand that not everybody feels the same way I do, but I’ve been carirying way before influencers I don’t need anybody’s opinion of what I love and I’m very supportive of your thoughts if they’re ugly, good more for me.
I started using the mz Wallace nylon bags…they’re lightweight, easy to clean, hold tons of stuff and have lots of inside zippers and pockets. Once I became a mom I now prioritize function over fashion. I don’t think any Hermes bag provides much function.
While I don't find the Birkin ugly (I also don't think it's particularly pretty, either), it does seem impractical. Like an outdated design. No strap, fussy foldover top with sangles and turn lock. It looks like a complete pain in the butt to open and close. Better handbag mechanics have evolved since the Birkin was created. Thank you for this informative video.
Can you do a video on Kate Spade? I want to see if the cheaper brand have good quality.
Or Francis Valentine
Thank you for the suggestion. This video was rushed so much this week during the Holiday shopping madness in the workshop. And next year I will do detailed videos on brands including their history and more of a general review of the brand than just a bag dissection. I find this new style is more fun to do and it seems like you guys enjoy them as well. Stay tuned and thank you for your support!
I am not on this journey but i am fascinated by watching others on it.
😊
I love your videos, thank you for that.
Personally, I love Birkin and Kelly (retourne version).
They are absolutely timeless.
I have always been obsessed with leather goods, but have always side-eyed luxury houses, so most of my handbags are purchased from artisans in the country where I live. Your channel has been so informative and I appreciate that you are making an effort to direct consumers towards artisan-made leather products.
Excellent video. New subscriber here! Those other artisanal bags you mentioned Chester Mox, Peter Nitz, etc. are of unbelievable quality. I am thinking of ordering one.
Thank you for the video.
Would you please evaluate the Lady Dior bag if you have not done so already? The Dior house is my favorite luxury house ( sadly it was bought by LVMH). I am not a Chanel or Hermes enthusiast at all.
Great video, I appreciate your skill and honesty.❤
You are so welcome
Hi.. thank you for doing a Hermes review.. would you please do a review on the brand Fleuron? they share the same factory with Hermes..do they use the same leather like Hermes as others mention in the market.... thanks!
Thank you for making this video and being so honest about it. It’s good to know that these brands it’s all about logos and names but when it comes to selling costumers an item.. turns out it’s not the best quality. Also thanks for mentioning better alternatives like Chester Mox!
Loved this video.
I’m so intrigued by everything you cover.
Strange question. How would you advise someone who is interested in becoming a leather craftsman?
Amazing video as always 😍! Chef’s kiss! And I agree with everything including the Birkin being ugly 🫢
As you ripped the belt apart, my heart ripped along together 😅💔
When I first saw the Birkin, I thought the closure was too fiddly and awkward. Then I realized it’s just a status symbol. It boggles the mind how anyone would buy that belt that costs less than $100 to make, and pay almost $1000. 🙄 Hermes will never see me as their customer, since I don’t think I’ve ever spent over $200 for a bag, and the last few years I’ve even been making my own.
The best thing about the Birkin bag is the assortment of colors and also , the 35 cm bag is great for travel as you can pack a lot into it. You can get around purchasing one, it is not as exclusive as the company tries to make it out to be. And there are many on the resale market
Thank you for showing us the mind game that Hermes plays.
I wish you would review Hamano, loved by the Imperial family of Japan. Dying to know the quality, because the cost isn't bad.
Thank you for your honesty
Thank you Tanner! Great video! May I ask, what do you think about Ralph Lauren leather? (especially their bags).
Glad you like it. I didn't check RL leather goods yet but I saw a few in the stores and it seemed good. So I am curious and will look into them next year. Thank you for your support!
Thank you for this great video! 😊
You are so welcome!
People don’t realize that Hermès leather goods, wallets and their other bags, not Birkins or Kelly’s, don’t cost a ridiculous amount of money. They are actually less expensive than comparably priced items from Louis Vuitton that are all canvas.
And they are excellent quality. Ready to Wear and Shoes are excellent too.
So true. And their shoes are comparably priced or less expensive than LV and Dior.
Hermes sells a $700 paper saddle box coated with minimal leather. Please stop.
Enjoyed your fun video. Thank you.
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the video! Your positive feedback means a lot! Thank you for your support.
Dang the last bit of the it is so raw and I love it. Pecking order, abundance signaling !
Volkan, you are THE Voice of Wisdom. Thank you! As usual, great video, but this is one of my favorites.
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
I am new here at your channel. Your work is amazing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you Tanner for this interesting breakdown. You are amazing! And thanks for sharing artisans to watch. I have full respect for Hermes's positioning and branding strategy. I can't believe what they have pulled off, don't know when it'll come crashing down. Shareholders, enjoy the ride as long as it lasts!
As usual, another great and enlightening video!
Thank you so much!
Such an amazing video! Tfs 😊
can you please repeat the 3 other leather companies you mentioned in this video at the end? I'm always interested in a unique type of handbag. Thank you.
This type of video is awesome! Keep it up, I'd love to see more videos with a historic setting like this one
Thank you for the feedback. I am lad to hear it and will improve in this direction. It is also fun to make these videos
This was so good!!
Really well made video and good review
Glad you liked it
So much money that can be used to feed the poor Around the globe.
Yes, the Birkin is ugly! I much prefer the Bolide personally, and it's almost never talked about too!
A review of Valextra would be much appreciated! Thank you
Interesting video. Did you put the belt back together to use it or did you just make yourself a new belt using the beautiful buckle? Why do you think they didn't use Togo on both sides? $ or looks?
Thank you. I will make a strap myself to use that great buckle. I think they go for two different style options to the consumer as togo is a pebbled grain and the otherside would be better if it is plain. I think that's the reason. I don't think Hermes has any reasons to cut cost from their production. They don't need to as they can charge whatever they want anyways
Can you do a deconsctruction on a Furla bag?
love your channel . The red purse behind you, what is that?
I’d be really interested to see your opinion on a Fossil bag. Some look really great.
Hey there, I've already reviewed a Fossil bag, and you can find it on my Instagram account. Check it out using this link: instagram.com/p/Cj_AL4OPcGt/
WoW ..great video ..good to hear that the leather is good
Thank you. I love the leathers Hermes curated over the de cades. They have an incredible taste for leather in my opinion. No other brand comes close to it at their scale. Huge respect
I love Hermes my favorite items are their scarves and small leather goods. I have 2 Birkin and they are very special to me and I’m so happy to be in that group of insiders! My first Hermes wallet was purchased 20 years ago and I still have it and it’s in mint condition. Yes, it is worth the splurge to invest in Hermes my scarves along with my birkin’s are my favorite!
WHAT A GREAT VIDEO!
GREAT CONTENT!
Your are the best tanner ❤ very good info
Great one, thanks, have a great weekend
Thanks, you too!
What on earth do you mean by "At least entertained"? Of corse it's mind-blowing Informative!!!
I'm glad to hear that you found my content mind-blowingly informative! It's always my goal to provide valuable and engaging information. Thank you so much!
I could be a billionaire today, and zero of my billions would go to Hermes.
I like how u explaine the logic of hermas but steel icon of luxury
Would love to see thé same about Chanel. Their price increase policy is just madness
Excellent video, thank you.
You are welcome!
