    I don't have hundreds to spend on a luxury purse, I would rather have the money IN my purse aka a bank account 😊 because these designers don't care about anybody but themselves

      +iheartwanda evette ray The people who design these bags are artists and took time in DESIGNING the bag and the quality and materials are a lot nicer. Some designers design cheaper items but some design more expensive quality bags/clothes that are designed by talented artists/designers and there is nothing wrong with that. I see art in everything I look at. There is even people who design lamps. Nothing is wrong in appreciating artistry in the things you see around you, even if it costs a lot of money.

      I do agree that designers don't care, but on that stream of logic, do you think Michael Kors or JC Penney or New York and company care about anybody but themselves either? I wouldn't buy or not buy a purse based on whether I think the designer "cares" about me, because if that's your criteria, you shouldn't buy any purse unless you yourself made it because none of them do! (PS if you decide not to buy a purse and just carry your stuff in a Ziplock bag, Ziplock doesn't care about you either).

    All that shit looks the same to me. If you gave a rich person a fake Gucci/LV bag and a broke person a real Gucci/LV bag, most people would assume the real bag was fake and the fake bag was real, just because of the person wearing it.

      +gphillimo it's all about how you look, i mean when people see a black girl with Louis bag and fucking cheap ass clothes every body think it's fake, even if it's a real one
      and when you see a white guy , who look good, fully dressed with designer clothes and bag and shit, even if everything is fake everybody is going to think it's real because he's beautifull, he looks great with it etc...
      its all about your complete appearance

    Why would I spend $2K for someone's name? I've seen people with the real bags and they have never owned a home. I also know a woman who who live in $330k homes and they wear the fake ones. I have learned that people will go in debt for bags and shoes, it's ridiculous. But you live and learn that material items to not make you. People have no 401K or savings but you have a real Gucci? Who cares. I like the answer of the young lady that said she saves to purchase goods.

  • @krisztian76
    @krisztian76 8 лет назад +12

    If you buy a real one, you're paying a few hundred $ for the yacht of Louis. THAT's the only difference. Do you really think, that you pay quality? For 1000 $ you can buy a fucking tribe with 50 slaves and 200 sheeps. They will make you 400 bags. Handmade! The more I pay, the less it's resistant. I already broke 5 Ray Ban, the painting fails, lens are cracking. In the shop they told me, that sunglasses for 1000 euro can lose their color, and brake more easily than any cheap but good brand.Because they know that you will buy a new one. Life is simple.

      I hate the "if you buy fakes you support Slave labor" Argument, look at the labels in mainstream clothing stores like H&M, Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, Zara etc. what does it say? Cambodia, Bangladesh, Vietnam. Why? Not because they have amazing craftsmanship but because it's coming out of a fucking sweatshop. Do you have an iPhone? Wonder why it's made in China? Yeah because of cheap slave labor.
      Buying a fucking knock off from a Somalian on the side of fifth avenue is no different than buying slave-made clothes. Also designer bags like the Birkin or Kelly from Hermes are not worth 10K, manufacturing and materials probably cost $600 then the rest is an inflated price created by a company that said "you know what? We don't want nasty poor people wearing this, so if we make it really expensive, poor people won't be able to buy it & rich people who want to have better things than poor people will buy more of it". So yeah, buy your knock off, wear it proudly and fuck uptight folks

      Obliviously you had a sales pitch thrown at you,and you got hooked it's really your own fault in my opinion plastic is plastic no matter how much it costs but when it comes to leather goods I rather buy the real thing because it would still look good for a longer period of time then what a fake one would look like, and as you can see in the video the fake LV bag looked like trash compared to the real thing

  • @HaneeFannee
    @HaneeFannee 8 лет назад +21

    In response to the guy saying that _"these brands have put a lot of money and effort into their products"_, the amount of money it would cost LV to made a Speedy or Neverfull is a pittance compared to the retail price that they charge. Some canvas, a coating, minimal leather trimmings and a little bit of brass (plated) hardware. You can get the exact same materials used on a bag from any high-street store for less than $50, so why not pay less for a design that you love?
    Do people not realise the mark-up that these brands put on their products just because it has their name attached to it? The only justifiable price-tag I can honestly think of is Hermes due to them farming their own ostrich and alligator leather.

THEN DO IT,you're only gonna be alive a finite amount of time ,now i can see and agree with some of the comments below stating that if you live in the ghetto and or don't have a car/house, a lot of bills ...all this stuff.....i understand...but i would say DON'T SPEND ALL on these things, if there's something you want, see first if you can truly afford it and don't go overboard...get it and keep doing the rest: paying bills, save for retirement, buy stocks or whatever you need to do to get your life in financial order.

  • @StephanieCrawford333
    @StephanieCrawford333 10 лет назад +15

    It's just crazy, because the meaning of luxury changed. Back in the day, these designer bags were expensive because 1) The were handmade with the highest quality materials so they would last a lifetime and 2) At the time, designers were thinking up original designs that would last through trends. Nowadays, what we covet changed from wanting quality, to wanting a label as a shortcut to looking rich. It seriously makes no sense.
    Plus, most of the big designer houses now use the same mass manufacturing methods as "regular" bags, and fall apart at the same rate.... thus making it not worth the money. But people still buy, because they want that label. (This doesn't apply to places that make real handcrafted quality stuff, btw.) The best thing to do is buy something in your budget that ISN'T a knockoff. Something that looks great and will hold up, so money goes to smaller people who are working hard to be creative and unique. If you can afford to spend thousands, really find something unusual and handmade, otherwise you'll just have another LV bag that everyone will assume is fake.

      And Louis Vuitton and there yearly price increases are only going to see a surge in counterfeit replicas! There is no reason why the same Speedy 30 bag that was $500 yrs ago is now almost $900 it's the same damn bag! I know they have to make a profit, but people are just getting more advanced in making replicas that are almost undetectable!

    I think it is interesting to look at the story of these bags before they hit the streets in NYC and see if that's a story you want to support. Same goes for the real designer goods. Just being conscious of where our products come from is already a step in the right direction. A lot happens before they make it into our hands.

    I say GO FOR IT! I wanna buy something because it looks good, and knockoffs look fucking great for like 1/10 of the price or less. Even if there are small differences, the replicas still look really good and won't break the bank. I just bought fake watches that look stunning and costed like 20 dollars. I tell everyone they're fake right away, because the reason I bought them isn't because I want people to think I have money to buy expensive things, it's because I wanna look good. If I can save money while doing it, I'm all for it. Plus, the small differences between the real products and the fake ones are completely overshadowed by the fact that you can buy 10 different replicas instead of 1 original.

      Here's a question. Say you were robbed on the street(hopefully something that stupid would never happen) would you rather lose a 40 bag or 800 bag.....I buy what I like and not to keep up with the Jones's .....somethings are worth paying extra for.....designer not so much.....put money in acct., save for bigger home or ????...just my opinion....an expensive item won't make me more appealing to others you either have swagger(confidence) or you don't. Money in the bank talks.....clothing goes out of style eventually or until 20 to 30 years roll by and its retro.....but not for you, maybe your kids...focus on building one self not items

    Why does the lady with the Michael Kors purse thinks she is somehow exempt from the discussion because she is wearing a "real" brand? All Michaels Kors has done himself is to knock off high end designers. His Savannah bag is a knockoff of the Chanel GST, the satchels, especially the checkered one, is a knockoff of the Louis Vuitton Speedy and the bag with the padlock is a knockoff of the Hermes Birkin, yet somehow she thinks she is so above the fray.

  • @TheKyleAye
    @TheKyleAye 8 лет назад +4

    Who cares if people have fake products. Why is it any of your business or why should you care in general what other people choose to spend on what they want to wear? If someone chooses to spend $300 on a real designer product, why do you care? If someone chooses to spend $30 on a fake designer product, why do you care? Here's the difference between people who spend money on real designer products verses people who buy fakes. People who buy real designer products judge others based on appearance. People who buy fake designer products just don't care whether or not someone else can afford real or fakes. By the way all those people in this video saying they have REAL designer products at home seem so fake and are probably lying lol

      dsalgado740 I do believe that the bag that was passed down to you is still in good quality 20 yrs later, however I agree with XUrbanSimsX, in reference to the quality of today's bags. While you should be paying for the name a quality, Louis Vuitton as of the past 5 or so years has been getting complaints of their bags having issues with the hardware tarnishing, poor stitching etc. it's all about making a profit and at least once a yr all their items have a price increase. I think they are skimping in quality vs yrs ago in order to keep more of profit.

    • @juliacaruso2142
      @juliacaruso2142 8 лет назад +3

      +Thomas GC Selling fake designer bags is illegal. Illegal = dishonest. These people do not pay tax on their income and the industry is not regulated. There is nothing stopping these people from using their income to fund other illegal activities, since they are already criminals and the money earned can not be reported like it can in an honest job. The people who work in this industry can not finance homes with their money, can not deposit their money in banks, and can not provide pay stubs from their jobs. There is a reason these people set up shop on the street instead of advertising their wares like legitimate retailers. This is also why a lot of them don't want to be recorded on camera. They live like drug dealers. In the US, where this documentary was recorded, people who sell fake handbags are criminals. It is that simple.

I suggest you read a little more about it if you're interested. This is a corrupt and dangerous industry, and what you see being sold on the street is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of illegal activities orchestrated by these groups.

Taking designs from designers who work hard on bags and such is sus and something i don't fully support, but like i said, you gotta do what you gotta do in a society that places so much value on material possessions (most of the time not even on the actual quality but the perceived quality based on price and brand name)

      As a white person I can tell it's obliviously because most of white folks live on appearance and what people are going to think about you. When you have no other discrimination other than social status, fake designer items seem like a mean to an end. POC have to work hard to prove themselves without all the privilege white people are born with and know the real value of things. They're going to get to the real deal with hard work and if they get a fake they're not going to parade it like it's the real thing.
