Ben, I had a bad day, but instead of escalating a confrontational situation, I let it go and now I'm watching your video and just relaxing. Thanks for your content.
So sorry. The following comment is not an attack on Ben’s personal choices. But I would be remiss if I did not share my POV: much of Louis Vuitton screams plastic, logo-souvenir kitsch. The nightmare continues, IMO, with Pharrell Williams as creative director, men’s. It’s not even genuine leather. Just coated canvas. The pocket organizer in monogram eclipse is cute. Oh well, to each his own. I would rather invest at Jil Sander or Saint Laurent for subtle branding and a gorgeous solid black, calfskin leather tote bag that will stand the test of time 💁🏻♂️
@@periscope7731 there are leather choices within the brand. They come with a heavier price tag. The coated canvas is now their bread and butter. With Mr Williams as the creative director. He’s using more leather. But in a bad way. So far am not a fan of his style. Virgil will forever be missed. The whole brand will be too. If they continue to treat long time customers like this. Charging for a repair that was fault of the bag. Was a poor thing to do. Considering he hadn’t had the bag long.
@@periscope7731imo YSL leather is quite mid. Mr Williams has created the speedy with buttery leather! It’s like 10K though. I have to be honest, Louis Vuitton quality has not been the best so I can agree with you there!
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the nkuwan leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
The response from LV is absolutely shocking, especially given the price of the item initially. It’s a lot of money for pvc that broke so soon, and so for them to not only be slow to respond but also not repair it free of charge is truly awful. That third Mr Porter look was killer on you, love it! Thanks for bringing us along for your day, have a great week! x
Genuinely concerned about luxury brands strategy: downgrading quality vs raising prices threefold is something. Maybe look into vintage items? I like the dopamine from finding a good quality item from the wishlist and getting real quality for the price 17:11
You can dispute it with your bank and stop payment to LV. I have done it with many companies and the bank will reach out to their bank and the company has 30 days to respond to the dispute if they don't your bank will credit your account the full amount you dispute. Good luck
The linen pants are great! The tank top shirt combo is flattering as well. Since you enjoy the Thorne creatin, you may like the Thorne Elite Multivitamin. Certainly a lot cleaner/higher quality than Ghost.
Another great video! I take Rainbow Light Men's One Multivitamin (I'm older so I take the 50+ version). It has a strong smell when you open the bottle.
Hello, coming across this video again. Sorry about LV bag, what you could do is just make it a travel/pool beach bag? That way you don't have to worry about it scratching or getting dirty. Just a thought. Thanks again for the video.
Another great and inspiring video and thanks for sharing your day and your dog (happy 8th birthday). You got me at “this bag cost $4500” 😱. Luxury guy and I love it!!! Much continued success!! Take care!!!
pure sesame oil and toasted sesame oil (yours) are two different things. Toasted sesame oil has to be refrigerated bc it can go rancid if you don't and it's usually a finishing oil, rather than cooking oil.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ben, good video as usual. In regards to the "Louis Vuitton" bag, I experienced the same treatment from this brand, due to this reason I stopped purchasing anything from the LV collection. Having said that, I have purchased in the past multiple bags, suitcases, jackets, etc. for several of my aunts, nieces, and myself. However, the costumer service from them is unacceptable. Therefore, they lost a loyal costumer as well. Stay Safe & Healthy... Abrazos
I use Surbex z vitamins, when I have a physical day, then my pee is normal color, but if I do not have enough activity, then the pee turns neon. it means the vitamins are not fully absorbed by the body.
luckily in India we don't have to do any of the chores you did in the morning, we have people to take care of everything and we never wait for staff they are available 24/7 add that to every other luxury you can think off, that's living life king size.
Very sad to hear Ben Taylor about your experience and the disappointing after sales service. To be honest, try to reach any other Louis Vuitton boutique. Also, its also depending which SA are assisting you. I believe that if you can find other boutique, they will give you a new bag or any other solution like that they won't charge that amount to be able to repair your bag. Also, i don't believe they send your bag back to Paris. There are ateliers in USA to fix your bag ;-)
put a see through tape on the crack from the inside - its not the best and nicest fix but at least you can use it as beach bag again without sand getting in
Bummer about the bag. I thought for sure they'd fix it at no charge given that you had it not much more than a year and the nature of the damage, which looks to me too to be a materials issue and not a use issue. Somehow I think that their cost to fix the bag would be a lot less than what they wanted to charge you, and for that why not keep a good customer happy? Really makes me rethink my relationship with the brand.
Excellent content in this vlog. Unfortunately LV accessories and handbags are no longer hand crafted. Another reason for me to consider other luxury designers when considering a purchase.
Loewe has the best craftsmanship and the price reflects. It’s also important to note the material you’re purchasing as an expensive bag with plastic is simply not going to perform like a leather one regardless of how it’s made.
I would stop shopping at LV it’s ridiculous when you pay that much for a bag they aren’t fixing it for you, maybe you can find someone in the US that could fix it for less and then sell it

LV quality has gone down so much …..
The fact they couldn’t repair that for you. Speaks loudly about the brand. So sorry that has happened to you.

The tank top and shirt combo looks good on you. 🔥🔥🔥
nope the only thing he should be keeping are the pants.
Hi Ben
I absolutely love your videos,you have taste in everything clothes decorating your house,choosing accessories.
You are made for you tube ❤
the nkuwan would be super cute during the fall with a nude or tan or even tonal outfit! i’m thinking a tan wool coat with that bag!!

Keep the fashion hauls coming... They are so aspirational and escapist ESPECIALLY during the summer season. Continued success! Many thanks!!!
glad you like!

I like the open shirt look with the tank. I think im gonna try that also
I love the vlogs. I really liked the pan you used to make the rice, would you mind sharing what pan / brand you use? I’m assuming non stick? Thanks.
Seriously becoming addicted to this channel- we want to know more about your life- what do you do for work, age, etc
Cringe
Thank you! Glad you're liking the vlogs :)
I have the same issue with multivitamins. My cousin who is a doctor told me it was all unnecessary unless you're eating really badly.
You can dispute it with your bank and stop payment to LV. I have done it with many companies and the bank will reach out to their bank and the company has 30 days to respond to the dispute if they don't your bank will credit your account the full amount you dispute. Good luck
Can you talk about how you split your time between your ecommerce business vs. content creation vs. hobbies vs. etc? Xx
Third look was def a keeper
Love these kinds of videos
Men's One A Day Pro Edge are a good multi-vitamin. :) Love your channel!
Love the tank and open shirt look! Loved this vlog. So good!
Love the content Ben, you really inspire me to keep working hard. 💪
I love how you can hear his cuteness aggression over Zoe at 21:26 lol
“She’s beautiful 😬”
It's Zoey's world, we just live in it
The linen pants are great! The tank top shirt combo is flattering as well.
Since you enjoy the Thorne creatin, you may like the Thorne Elite Multivitamin. Certainly a lot cleaner/higher quality than Ghost.
You look great in the sweater tee and the shirt/tank combo. Keep them with those linen pants! Great vlog today!!
Pls show more of New York in your vloggs 😊 you’r the best 🤩

Heyy Ben, looking tan , gym is paying off , and Hi Zoeyyy!❤ and Brandon as well😊
I really like your vids!!! such good vibe and clean feels❤
What does he do for work? Or is he just from a rich family? Not trying to be nosey, just wondering how he affords all this stuff, especially in NYC
Ben can you please do a meal prep video? It’s so exhausting trying to find yummy recipes etc but I feel like you have a consistent routine going!
That's a fun idea!
love it!!! we love meal prep and vlogss!!!!!
Sunday natural all in one one a day is a great multivitamin supplement!
Vitamix is the best blender by far, highly recommend
Love all the cooking segments.
Zoey is so cute!!!! Yay new vlog!!
I travel a lot for work I could use the meal prep thing where did you get your meal prep containers
Another great and inspiring video and thanks for sharing your day and your dog (happy 8th birthday). You got me at “this bag cost $4500” 😱. Luxury guy and I love it!!! Much continued success!! Take care!!!
Should do a video on desk tour and the decor u have in your office

LV hot stamped a bag tag with my initals upside down and acted like i was the issue when I took it back, i was very polite and they were not.
Hi, what are the mesh shorts you’re wearing at the very beginning of the video? Need.
What’s the brand of the smoothie machine you used? Love your videos!!
Same thing happened with me at Vuitton Soho too. My strap of my mini steamer broke after 3 wears, $200 to fix. Lol
Designs for health have the highest quality vitamins. Highly recommended
Anyone know the bracelets that can be seen when he’s showing himself cooking breakfast?
Finally… I’ve been waiting. 😬
The best daily multivitamin I’d recommend is Mary Ruth’s or MegaFood!
What’s the standard LV warranty? Would your Chase extended warranty cover it since LV refused? Might be worth a shot.

Hey Ben I wanna know are you following any regimen for ur tired looking eyes? U look much better than before. If so can u share it?
So happy to see theseeeeeee
I tried out your smoothie recipe, it was delicious.
I use Surbex z vitamins, when I have a physical day, then my pee is normal color, but if I do not have enough activity, then the pee turns neon. it means the vitamins are not fully absorbed by the body.
Primal Harvest daily multivitamin is what I have been using. Its high quality so look into it
your house looks like a hotel room!! very nice!!
Love your vlogs. Please vlog some more
what do you add to your espresso?
What do you do for work brother?
luckily in India we don't have to do any of the chores you did in the morning, we have people to take care of everything and we never wait for staff they are available 24/7 add that to every other luxury you can think off, that's living life king size.
I only buy books from LV these days. Thank you for the video!
Bottega has a lifetime warranty!
Literally was just in soho Saturday it was crazy Ben 😂😭
Shirt and tank is a good look on you ❤
Surprised you don’t have monogrammed bath towels. Neiman Marcus is a great source.
Hi Ben. You might want to try a whole food multi-vitamin like
MegaFood Men's Advanced Multivitamin.
That’s what the kids are calling them now 😅😅 carb wraps. In my time we called them tortillas 😅
nothing like a carb wrap to start the day ;)
Loved the looks.
Blue short and pants look together and on you 🕊️
I strongly recommend GARDEN OF LIFE vitamins. They are food based, not synthetic, for better absorbtion.

not the zoey cut LOLOL
Cant go wrong with Centrum
Mr Porter was giving palm springs vibes
ritual brand vitamins .......amazing
ritual vitamin is my go to.
First endurance vitamins
Try Seed Vitamins. Armra Colostrum
$4000 for a glorified plastic wash bag is kind of wild in the first place
Procaps Laboratories multivitamin is Good 😊.
put a see through tape on the crack from the inside - its not the best and nicest fix but at least you can use it as beach bag again without sand getting in
Or give us a full film equipment breakout just a couple of suggestions
You have a great business if you only have to work afew hours a day for your lifestyle :)
Tank looks good
Bummer about the bag.

Zoey just needed a little break before she could finish her food haha

You’re definitely suit guy. 🎉

Try centrum adult multivitamin
I would stop shopping at LV it’s ridiculous when you pay that much for a bag they aren’t fixing it for you, maybe you can find someone in the US that could fix it for less and then sell it
Thorne Vitamins
Ritual Vitamins for Men are amazing
even if Vuitton repaired your bag, there's no guaranteed that it won't break again.
Try Animal Pack Vitamins
I've had a similar situation with LV, and was appalled by their response as well, not to mention the cost for repairs. Really poor form! It's actually disgraceful and totally UNACCEPTABLE. Fendi and PRADA ended up with a new client...just saying. Totaling about 75K in purchases since. Their loss, not mine! Well done for exposing them, Ben.
Just take them to a leather specialist, much cheaper, much more talented repairman
AG1 for great everyday multivitamin !
I had a very different experience with LV for a manufacturer defect on a wallet. They were not able to repair it but they offered me a replacement, no questions asked. I chose another design that was less expensive and they refunded me the difference in cash without a receipt as the original item was a gift. Perhaps you can try another store/manager.
What is your company?
Louis Vuitton should be replacing that or offering a discount at the same value as that bag and offer you a different item
