    Why didn’t they partner with a high end pencil brand? They could have marketed it as a high quality fashion case to protect your high end fancy pencils. Real artists will know and people like me will just feel fancy.

    As someone who’ worked in mid to high-level fashion retail for 10+ years I can tell you 100% that Louis Vuitton probably used the same pencil maker. I can’t tell you the amount of times I saw several high end brands with the exact same product from the exact same factory with the only difference being the label slapped on the product. I wish more people understood how they really are only buying the brand and the idea that you’re always getting a higher quality product is a total myth

      @AlivetilltheEnd Před 2 lety +76

      Same here. Worked for a while highend and especially the world famous brands aren't very high end. Bad stitching, cheaper fabric or often just plastic. You pay for the logo and a lot get limited editions in the first place because their value will be going up evtl, so it is more like an investment.
      But there is some amazing brands around which are still more highend or boutique but mostly not as known. So, if you spend 300 or 20$ on a tshirt, it often is actually the same. But inbetween the 50-150 zone there is some amazing fairtrade and longlasting quality around. One of the main things i learned is that fabrics really matter and that the highend shopper often behaves like the normal shopaholic, buys and never wears it, to bring it to the opshop in the end.
      Get yourself an nice used cashmere on ebay girls for a 10th of the price, but dont get any mites, they'll eat everything else in there as well.
      Also, buying secondhand means you dont give any money to companies you find immoral.

      More expensive stuff holds up better. Designer/fashion brands don't. Spending more and buying like a full grain leather case from a local leatherworker will make a HUGE difference in quality, and will literally last multiple lifetimes if its looked after. But spending more and buying a fashion brand won't. LV and Gucci use really bad quality leather, and most of their "leather" bags are like 75% canvas.

I bought a new colour pencil for every book I studied. The more I studied, the more I added variety in the underlying shades, the more sofisticated the code became. When I graduated I found myself with a shoebox full of colour pencils, most of which had their own unique colour shade. I still keep these pencils as a memory of my hard study and my college years...

      To be fair they produce extremely limited runs of everything they make, and sell out on just about everything. The amount destroyed at the end of a season is probably no more than 5% of everything they create.
      Not only that but at least they have a "good" reason, they're trying to protect the value of their brand. About a decade ago I worked as a shelf stocker for Walmart, who regularly burns/trashes things like bottled waters and dog food that are perfectly good for consumption just because they were a day or two past expiration, and refused to donate any of it to a homeless/animal shelter.

Don't even think of the amount of product thrown out by each company, that's inconsequential. I'm sure that the plastic bottles for those waters and other packaging for that food that gets thrown out is also real good for the environment. Walmart also trashes/burns any sort of non electronic homewares that are deemed unfit for sale, so there's that too.

I personally think the red and green with the browns is just ugly. I've never wanted anything Gucci that uses their most Iconic designs. I also have never understood wanting things just because they cost a lot of money. Have I wanted designer things in the past? Yeah sure. But I wanted them because I liked them, not because they were expensive. To be honest when I find out they're expensive I want them less than when they're cheaper. On top of that, I get more excited about getting a discount than I ever could over spending more money on something than it's worth. And that extends to presents! I love when people get me something worth more than what they spent on it.

    I'm honestly shocked how bad the quality is. I know gimmicks or extras by luxury brands like Tag Heuer, Rolex etc: when *they* have colored pencils they use premiere manufacturers, even if they brand the pencils with their own logo (sometimes it's an obvious collaboration: bc the name Caran d'Ache stands for luxury itself too). They all let either Faber Castell or Caran d'Ache produce the art materials for these special editions!
    I thought for sure that Gucci, LV etc would do so too. I mean, if you're a high fashion luxury brand making gimmicks to accompany/side-sell with your actual products, you *want* the absolute best, reinforcing your commitment to maximum luxury for your spoiled customers, shouldn't you?!
    Luxury inevitably means high quality - that and the cost for artisan craft made by experts as well as the over the top presentation make it luxurious in the first place. Otherwise it's just trash with good advertising, creating a short-lived hype.

    It’s terrible really when a luxury brand cuts corners like that..After all it’s an awful lot of money just for a pencil case .I had my Faber Castell Durer set for about £130 a few yrs ago for 120 pencils and they are rich and creamy .So I cannot see how they can justify cutting corners like that.Pretty sad really ..Thanks for the review 🥰

    FYI Better Help is a scam and CZcamsrs can collect up to $200 per person that signs up. They don't even verify the therapists

    The moment you said that Prisma's lead is a lot wider or thicker, I opened my 72 shades Prima color box and compared it side to side with the Gucci ones in the video. And damn that is actually quite the difference, I was not expecting that.

    I lost it when I heard there's only 20 pencils. They better be dipped in pure gold and capped with diamonds!

    They reminded me of the Faber-Castell watercolor pencils (Eco line), or, at best, the Swiss, by Caran D'Ache!

    If you're in the UK, you can buy Staedtler colouring pencils, like a whole box of them for £12-£20, and they're brilliant!
    Gucci branded anything is mostly just a status symbol, which is like "look at how rich I am".

    Wouldn't be plugging this better help sponsorship to be honest, they've been super sketchy in the past and now the fact that they "collabed" with Travis Scott after a bunch of people were killed? Not a great look. I know you're probably contracted in, but I wouldn't be plugging these scumbags anymore.

      Not only that but in the “collab” they were offering the concert survivors 1 month of free therapy, which is a promotion that they already had going on in general, not to mention 1 month is no where near enough for anyone to get any real progress made

    I've bought tons of art supplies and the biggest thing I notice about the packaging is that the colors are NEVER in rainbow order. You can immediately tell those pencils were not made with art in mind cause they are in rainbow order. Also I have a roll up case for my water color pencils that I got for like $10 at hobby lobby and it's fucking awesome
