MONTBLANC salesman told me THIS was leather...

- Опубликовано: 15 июл 2024
- The salesman at Montblanc was very insistent that the interior of this Meisterstuck bag was real leather. The deconstruction confirmed my suspicion that the inside was PU.
PU is an alternative plastic based material. 'PU Leather' only has 'leather' in the name.
Overall, a well made bag with a great outside leather choice and well-thought design details that reflect Montblanc's heritage
At this price point, it disappointing to see a fake leather lining in a luxury bag.
This Montblanc bag will be among the first in the deconstruction series to receive some upgrades to the leather.

Love how you didn’t just cut a straight hole through the bag. That part always gets me
Gorgeous bag, so glad you will repair it! I need to find someone like you in Dallas (TX, US) to Frankenstein a couple of bags. I had one done in Atlanta after my dog scratched a calf hair bag and the result was lovely. But haven’t found anyone I trust here and I have some nice bags but with flimsy handles that need new handles.
That salesperson was 100% trying to collect a commission
Should sue the brand/store. Sold under false pretences.
I know your creation will be exquisite. There companies should not be allowed to deceive customers.
Montblanc is owned by Richemont who also owns Chloe. This bag is probably made at the same place that Chloe makes their bags.
Richemont used to be in the cigarette game before they switched into luxury brands. They brought that same respect for the customer to their new acquisitions. Panerai, IWC, JLC Montblanc are brands that have been massively diminished (while upping the prices) under their stewardship. So far, ALS seems to have gotten away from their cost cutting.

Panerai had nice watches
Disappointing, especially as they increased the prices significantly on this collections release. Appreciate these videos, it’s the only way to hold brands like MB to account
I can't wait for the Frankenstein project!
@@tanner.leatherstein I absolutely love up cycling, I think it's very creative!
Many of their pens are made of plastic and they call it "precious resin"
Looking forward to seeing the reassembly of this bag 💼 ❤
Great review!!! learning so much from you. Can't wait to see the frankie episode!!! Thanks!!!!
Nice can't wait to see part 2.
Is it reversible??? I like the blue side too 😂😂😂 Just joking but love this new approach to the bags 😍Is it reversible??? I like the blue side too 😂😂😂 Just joking but love this new approach to the bags 😍
I'm glad you covered the exact bag I was considering getting, just to know if it's really good quality or not
You should do Cartier bags/ document-laptop cases, etc.
I am in shock at the things I've discovered through your channel
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! Do a video on the Valentino Garavani Rockstud Spike bag in soft lambskin nappa with chain (medium size).
This is unintentional ASMR.
@@tanner.leatherstein you’re going to put the bag back together?
Thank you for these videos, very helpful
Thank you for the review. Lately luxury items are trying to sell just the name. Why buy luxury if it’s not quality?
Amen !
I have loved Mont Blanc since childhood, my gran had a pen and allowed me to write with it often,
So, viewing this video I was astounded seeing you dismantling it. (almost got a heart attack)
However, I would LOVE to see the end result of putting it back together again.
Where can I find the restoration video, please?
Review the Cambridge satchel company next if you can!
Honestly can't wait to see the new bag 😊
U had asked once what to make with the green Hermes-like leather. You can make everything! Like a full set starting from keychain, pouch, bag, wallet etc for a coordinated look for both men and women. 🙂
Would love to see a review of their Extreme 3.0 products. I own the M buckle backpack due to the design and would like to see if it is indeed a quality product.
I also own that backpack and I would not see it riped apart. 😂
looking forward to the frank-n-Bag!!!!!
I’m not a leather expert but even I can tell that lining is not leather 😮
@@tanner.leathersteinThat’s so frustrating! Do they really not know (how much education does a brand provide?) or are they being duplicitous to make a sale? Argh.
@@tanner.leathersteinpaul smith also said the same on their wallet but i knew it wasn't leather the outter part was coated canvas.
I used to sell MB in the Middle East, the brand training used to say the inner was canvas or leather I never heard the word PU never ever in any training.... 90% of the customers buy MB just because of the MB emblem ( for the status) ..their pens are good yet they are made of acrylic they call it resin.
@doitforgood1105 My pleasure , there is for sure ...I personally won't blame the salesperson.... what I am saying may sound strange but being even very transparent with customers who buys such brands is useless...I had conversations with few MB users after I quit working for them ....the margins are very high and nothing justify the prices not the material used not the labour involved.. my opinion that most of high end brands buyer does really pay for social status that the item gives them ..Not the quality.
I know people drag Louis Vuitton for being coated canvas. But real coated canvas is very durable and will last a lifetime. It doesn’t tear or look cheap like this lining does.
Yes
I love your videos and how you show us what we are buying. Just wondering...what do you do with them after? Put em back together? Do any of these Brands contact you after youve taken apart the item they made?
So... are you sell some of them? after you are fixxing or renew those bags?
Love one of green one.
crossbody bag
Do you put them back together afterwards?
Can you do a dooney and Bourke vs coach quality review please!!!!
What about the montblanc wallets? Are those worth it?
Hi there! Could you please make Suzan Szatmary and Aspinaf of London? Aspinaf of London says it is full-grain leather, their style is great for corporate workers as me, Suzan Szatmary has a great/chic/elegan style.
@@tanner.leatherstein I have seen all royals wearing Suzan Szatmary, her designs are compact and give elegant feeling. Thank you for your work!
I really appreciate the truth you deliver.❤
I got the same prpblem. What should I do. I am soo upset
Try ferragamo stuffs
This is like a snuff video channel for beautiful bags.
More accurately, a snuff channel for bags that deserve it.
@@sciagurrato1831 LOL!
@@tobybartlett one irreverent comment deserves another!
@@sciagurrato1831 I definitely was being irreverent about the bag destruction so you got that part right. ✌️
@@Gotchalaboom It’s a harmless joke. However if it really bothers you this much… I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do for you.
I mean my partner is a fountain pen buff and doesn’t think their pens are worth the price paid so 🤷🏻♀️ guess it’s an all around nah
@@tanner.leatherstein that is cool! I can’t wait to see you Frankenstein it together. Since my partner’s special interest is pens they can break down the reason why the pens are overpriced similar to how you do with leather items. (And how it’s changed from vintage vs modern)
Was directed to this video from another member of the fountain pen community. Modern Montblanc is known as a status symbol. You’re better off throwing your pen away than sending it to their repair services (but please don’t OTHER good repairmen exist) and they are dually awful for pen vendors to work with.
Went through my Montblanc pen phase (to sign closing documents in the old days)….like most luxury brands, the deterioration over the last 10-15 years is sobering.
The Meistertück pens are a staple and well worth it for long term use.
Leather goods, stay away as much a possible!
I am just here for Tanner, not the leather.😊
I do like watch you vid and it's a good information to me so next time if I want to buy a bags handbag or something like that I'll remember things I watch in your YT channel but I hope you can do to KICKERS product next time. Thank you
$995 would be a fair price even considering the brand.
The cost is $1810
@@tanner.leatherstein problem is that their Meisterstück pen is already in the upper $300s, so the bag has to be more marked up.
Also just a halo effect to drive product categories, bleed over marketing
When do your python wallets come out again sir?
@@tanner.leathersteinThank you very kindly sir. I'll be sure to buy a few 😊
MEISTERSTÜCK LONG WALLET 15CC Can you make this
Very disappointed in the lining material when Montblanc owns the manufacturing and, while yes I typically associate them with being overpriced, I also associate them with being good, just not as good as the price, in this case the lining is just cheap.
❤❤❤❤
Can you do a montblanc wallet next?
@@tanner.leatherstein Thanks!
Can you do goyard
Ok return it.
God your videos are great.
Finallyyyyyy
Hey, I've just emailed you a suggestion. I hope you don't mind. Lee
try getting a redund
edit:
okay Frankenstein is a much better idea😂
so it's goin to peel in a couple of years
I’ve always wanted one but maybe local artisian could do a better quality and really leather than this one.
now you are going after Montblanc.
I trust them with pens (like the iconic Meisterstück) ...but leather goods....nope!
False advertising from Montblanc...big NONO!
Please do a piece on Burberry as well.
I bet, same outcome
Legal court cases or mass lawsuit against montblanc. The salesperson should be fired and Tanner be given several thousand dollars in good faith.
I think you should send a to @bedosleatherworks & see if he can make you a real leather lining. 😊
