      The reality is: if you're rich and famous, your*jklux* bags are seen as a sign of success. If you are just an ordinary worker working a 9-to-5 job, your real bag is likely to be considered the fruit of your efforts.

      My friend sells it *hotdups* It looks like the real thing you showed. It even comes with an authenticity card that matches the serial number of each bag. But her fake was $500.

      to be honest. If you produce at cost and remove the logo, the luxury market really isn't that expensive. The mark is about 80% of the actual price. But the fact that you are*jklux* buying an image and showing off your taste to make them think you are richer than you are is a very good thing to do.

    Hey Jess, you look like you're feeling better today ❤The first luxury bag I bought for myself was a chocolate brown croc purse (+25years ago) that I still use on an every day basis, although, as you mentioned, it's a pita for travel now, so it no longer flies with me. I don't remember when CITES started to be required but it wasn't always so. Unfortunately, i love exotics esp croc, lizard, stingray and karung and my heart is not getting the message to stop. Attitudes have def changed, I don't feel safe wearing my mink anymore so it just sits in my closet. Oddly, I try very hard to only buy meat from a butcher that sources 'happy meat' because i've been to factory farms for cows, pigs and chickens. I feel very inconsistent. it's a good discussion to have though, so i really enjoyed your video.

      And one last thing. I get sooooo irritated when YT’ers and others say things like “don’t by a Neverfull because its so basic and everyone has one and half of them are fake “. I call bullshit. Who cares if its fake or real.Bought Gucci Marmont bag on *hotdups* , I am honestly very satisfied with this company. Maybe the best I ever bought a bag from. Peace

  • @mellissabluxury

    I love exotics, especially lizard ❤
    However I only buy new so I can trace how the skin was sourced, where and how the animal was raised, and that the meat is also used for food.
    Reputable houses will have this information and the paper trail to support it.
    When raised in this manner I see no difference to leather/beef.

    @carrino15 Před 2 dny +4

    Some exotic leather actually could improve conditions for the animals and the environment if sourced at an ethical way. Let me explain. It cost money to take care of the environment these animals could live in, and without the income from these exotic leather the land would have become regular farm land and the animals gone extinct at that area as they are looked upon being dangerous and just a big cost for the locals.

      Yes. I have tried to find it again, but I think it was Nature magazine that published an article on supporting exotic farms because of the biodiversity they protect. There is a tremendous amount of biodiversity in the exotic farms, and all that would become lost if it transitions to cow pasture. The article completely changed my perspective. I actually think there were two articles, but don't quote me unless/until I (or you) can find it.

  • @pattywilliams788

    Great subject, Jessie. I personally have never liked the look of exotics as a whole. Crocodile, python or ostrich (even mock exotics) don’t appeal to me. The only exotic that I think is pretty is lizard but not all handbag designs look good in it. I feel the same way about animal print in clothing and furniture. If the print is abstract and not immediately recognizable, then I don’t mind it. I also don’t like the idea that animals are being killed just for their skin and not coming from the food industry. Thanks for sharing!

  • @deborahcurtis1385

    Polyurethane bags marketed as vegan/eco/sustainable make me cringe. Because they don't break down into the environment for an entire century. I really despise this marketing it's so rubbish.
    I do have preloved exotics but the bag is a lizard, and shoes and belts are ostrich skin. All are well worth it and wonderful bargains.
    I bought the shoes and belts new but the skin is leftover. The lizard bag is so old it's not affecting the market at all or participating in any abuse. Once I wore a [edit: borrowed] fox fur collar out and it was for a murder mystery night. Someone accosted me over the fur and even though I explained the fox was at least 50 years old and wearing it now was making no difference but she was rabid. People need to get a grip.
    My lizard is Deep Purple like the band. Smoke on the water!!!

    Lizard looks beautiful in some colours and mink always looks gorgeous. I maybe would buy a lizard one but they take a bit more care and it’s not something I’d use often. The Picotin with croc handles is stunning though so I’d probably get that version of a Picotin if I wanted that bag.

  • @Robbie_LeMeow
    @Robbie_LeMeow Před 2 dny +1

    Hi Jess! I don't buy exotic leathers. I just can't do it. I do have something that is croc embossed, and lizard embossed. But I say nooooo to exotics for myself. I can't even buy calf or lambskin. If I refuse to eat veal, I can't buy his skin. I have never eaten lamb, so there's that. No baby lambie bags for me either. ❤

  • @w4768
    @w4768 Před dnem +1

    With calf and lamb etc it’s not a by-product but a co-product. The leather isn’t incidental and the leather is highly profitable.
    Ostrich on the other hand was a byproduct initially before becoming a co-product.
    Killing is killing. When I started buying leather after not buying it for around 10 years, I didn’t feel like buying cow leather was much different than buying any other animal’s leather. At the end of the day I feel like if we only buy what we will use and buy from regulated sources it doesn’t make a difference which animal it comes from.

    I saw video about how in some regions pythons are invasive species and there are special rangers who’s job is to kill snakes. They don’t want to waste leather and produce something out of it. In this case I can understand. Anyway, sometimes even eating meat cringes me.

  • @Bestlifemiddleage
    @Bestlifemiddleage Před 2 dny

    I love exotics but not all of them! And no you don’t need a cites for ostrich. Ostrich is really in its own category, it’s like an in between exotic. I own 2 bags in ostrich and I really love it. I have a birkin 25 and a mini capucine. It’s a hard wearing skin, it’s water resistant and keeps its structure way better than togo for example. The enemy with it is oil, it will stain but in the same time, over time, it can get absorbed and the stain will disappear. It’s weird! 😂 I own one mini peekaboo in lizard and it’s a special piece, it’s definitely not to wear on the daily. I love crocodile but I am absolutely not willing to pay that amount of money especially not in Hermès. Like you I really dislike pithon and snake in general and I will always stay away from light lizard that becomes yellow over time. Actually same for croc, I don’t understand why people are so after the Himalayan bags, I cannot stand it!
