I see a ton of comments that show that people didn’t listen or watch til the end. Guys, I was a bit confused too, until the end when they clearly stated that the material they used from another LV bag for the patch was not an exact match, which is why they patched it they way they did… and that the client only wanted it useable again, she was not asking for an exact copy of what it originally looked like.
They literally said at the end that it would have been impossible for them to get the pattern exactly right and that the main goal of the client was to be able to use the bag again, and that was achieved by these repairs.
To be fair, they did say at the end that the reason they patched it that way was because the material they used from another LV bag didn’t match exactly, and that the client just wanted it to be useable again, not an exact match of how it originally looked 🙂
I would have just shortened the bag a couple inches. If there was still a small arched patch needed could have used the trimmed off bit from other side. Actually could have put same accent on both sides so it seemed intentional.
@@madmigraineur3815 I mean, of course, they have to say so. But I don't think anyone willing to pay $2k for a bag then a lot to repair doesn't want the patterns to be perfectly lined up. Terrible restoration!
Love DUPBAGY the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other RUclipsr can show off bags in as much detail as you.
I find hard to understand why someone would let a very expensive bag to set on fire, even when they said it was accidentally. But hey! Congrats to the reconstruction team👍👌they definetely did an extraordinary work by reconstructing the bag and making weareble again.
I saw that too and was shocked that there was no care into regards for that. The misalignment alone would be grounds to trash the bag. Very disappointing 🥲
@@cletoreese3246 they hold their value, you can always resell a older bag and get back a good value for it. Similar to a well crafted watch, tie, or shoes!
@@AmazingJayB51 but there is no value to these bags other than their brand name. They aren't that good of a quality (at least not equal to their price point) and any resell value comes from other dumb people spending more on a mediocre bag than any reasonable person should.
Finished job looks awful. You’re telling me the client was happy with half finished squares at the bottom of the bag? Clowns. Will not be going to this repairer
True but if ur paying for something u should at least have them do a good job btw I get the purse didn’t have pockets on the outside but they could have put one to hide the obvious repair
HIDUPZ bag love the quality and it came with every pocket and compartment just as stated in the description. I particularly like the length of the handle it sets nicely on my shoulder not too long or too short plus the sturdiness it seems to have.
Real leather DOES NOT BURN AT ALL. Synthetic not only burns, but also exhumes toxic "gas". Imagine paying 2k to get a synthetic bag. Unless moneys not an issue, ig its for the name and fame it holds and the buyer just wants/cares for the showoff
The explanation seems very professional but the fact that the craftsperson did not even align the pattern of the new canvas with the old canvas was a bit of a faux pas.
I work for LV repairs and honestly a lot of the "repairs" on youtube make us cringe. This artist though- genuinely impressive. I had to share this with the team and we were all impressed.
@@neuromuzz So they couldn't get material with the same pattern for cheap (knock off)? The black leather isn't name brand either and it throws the whole look off.
@@yoshi420 it was a brown leather bottom, and it matched fine, at the end… the other material from the old bag that they used for material wasn’t an exact match, either. I believe said this at the end. Did you watch til the end and see the finished bag? I thought it looked very nice. She just wanted it useable again, not a perfect clone of the original. I think it was a great combination of using the highest quality substitutes (genuine leather in a solid color, genuine material from an old bag to patch the side) for a quality, but affordable fix. It would be terrible to refurbish a beautiful, expensive bag with terrible, fake leather knockoff print that might also not match.
@@madmigraineur3815 what are you talking about a brown leather bottom? The pattern on the bottom was originally the same checkered pattern that is on the rest of the bag. They replaced it with a black leather bottom. It really isn't a big deal.
The existence of this company puzzles me. I can't imagine the type of people paying 2 to 3K for a bag like this would be content walking around with this disgusting abomination. You are better off buying a new cheap bag.
I did this to my speedy! Not as bad as this tho. Would love to know the price. Got a clutch that needs fixing, waiting for price from LV to quote me on the one as well
And this is why we would go to Louis Vuitton for repair. I’m sure if she had the receipt they would have even exchanged it. No way Louis Vuitton would want that Frankenstein repair out on the streets like that. “My eyes they hurt” 😵💫
This happened to my speedy and the burn is really small in two places. They would not exchange it or fix it for free under the warrenty. as it was my own fault .
What a missed opportunity to make the patchwork repair using the traditional LV monogram canvas. That would’ve made this bag something really special. This repair as it is looks exactly just that - a repair. As if they are trying to cover something rather than intentionally using the contrasting monogram canvas to make the bag something really extraordinary. Something like a limited edition bag.
The question isn't "how" but rather "why". I guess when you artificially inflate the price of a bag... At least at the grocery store the bags are still $0.10
When the restorer used a way more luxurious material Louis Vuitton. I mean replace the PVC base with cowhide leather? Now thats a two thousand worthy dollar bag.
I‘d rather buy a new one than have a repair done THIS poorly. Jesus Christ, what a foul excuse to not align the correct color squares. It was the same size, you just didn‘t care to do so…
would hardly call this perfect. They had an idea of technique, and luckily a small amount of matching material, but looks like a "good enough" kind of outcome.
good thing about the original item is that even though it is not well aligned with the pattern, no matter how damaged it is, it is still original 😅 opposite to trying hard replica, no matter how quality the materials used and amount of effort spent, it is still FAKE 🤣🤣🤣 we’re talking about the brand, not the materials 😂

Even cause the exact copy would have been basically impossible to obtain with that kind of damage... Unless you replace like 95% of the thing
True
Very true 😊
Exactly.
It was that they didn’t align the squares that everyone is commenting on. They could have done that quite easily.
In my opinion this not a restoration, it is a repair. Not the same!
all that effort and they don't even bother to align the squares lol
Horrible

@@Maglors_griefeverything is possible they where just a littlebit lamé.
I would be upset if I spent what I'm guessing is alot of money for them to not even bother align patch. Shameful
Bag restorers in Japan can make it exactly the same as original
Should've reveal how much the repair costed
I KNOW COACH IS FREE THEY
REPAIRED ONE FOR ME AND REPLACED
ANOTHER
@@nadiradutt8470 coach ain't exactly LV
Less than $2k
It's not revealed because it's above 3k. The bag itself is 2k...
@@LuchadorMasque I KNOW
THAT MY EXPERIENCE IS WHAT I
WAS EXPLAINING THE SOHO BAG
WAS ABOUT 1,5OO AND WAS REPLACED
Funny how the bag is folded in the reveal photos to hide the boxes that dont line up properly...

Sometimes it is cheaper to throw away an expensive product than to restore it.
Love DUPBAGY the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other RUclipsr can show off bags in as much detail as you.
Thank you for narrating the work done and explaining the process.
This did not "make the bag usuable"... this made the bag a whole lot more valuable. Great job.
I find hard to understand why someone would let a very expensive bag to set on fire, even when they said it was accidentally. But hey! Congrats to the reconstruction team👍👌they definetely did an extraordinary work by reconstructing the bag and making weareble again.
.....sounds like you dont have kids
I call bs on this, you CLEARLY had enough material available to lineup the pattern to make it look less obvious, terrible "repair" job imho
I saw that too and was shocked that there was no care into regards for that. The misalignment alone would be grounds to trash the bag. Very disappointing 🥲
I dont get why people buying expensive stuff that looks average. Maybe they just have too much money. But still aint get it.
I was thinking the same
For the prestige
The answer is usually too much money and not enough time to care about picking something unique and nice

I like this restoration. didn't needlessly waste materials and saved the client some money.
This seem to take more labor than making a new bag....
That was truly awesome work! 💜
Finished job looks awful. You’re telling me the client was happy with half finished squares at the bottom of the bag? Clowns. Will not be going to this repairer
Then don’t go there 😂😂 you’re being so negative for what?
I mean, the bag is now usable, instead of unusable?
True but if ur paying for something u should at least have them do a good job btw I get the purse didn’t have pockets on the outside but they could have put one to hide the obvious repair
Why, were you expecting to repair a purse anytime soon?
HIDUPZ bag love the quality and it came with every pocket and compartment just as stated in the description. I particularly like the length of the handle it sets nicely on my shoulder not too long or too short plus the sturdiness it seems to have.
I thought Louis Vuitton bags made out of this material were fire proof!? I’m so mad my sales associate lied to me cuz that bag is clearly burned
Waterproof, not fire proof

@@amimiami82 that's canvas, not leather.
The fact that they did not care to align the pattern triggers me. The repair is mediocre at best.
just throw it out. jesus christ. the owner should save a little more from the walmart job and buy a new one
The squares are not aligning nicely
I think that’s because they are not an exact match. She says this at the end of the video, I believe 🙂
The explanation seems very professional but the fact that the craftsperson did not even align the pattern of the new canvas with the old canvas was a bit of a faux pas.
Completely agree!! Pure neglect on that part.
How much money did that cost?... Maybe enough to buy a better looking bag 🙄😒
🤣
Price of the bag: $2,000, price of repair: $300? Price of repaired bag: $30
Great job! Fascinating!
Pattern didnt line up. Big mistake, needs to redo it
Why not actually match up the Damier boxes?
Facts 💯
i guess it would cost more?
I'd still be greatful considering they replaced the base with cowhide leather. Come on now.
I work for LV repairs and honestly a lot of the "repairs" on youtube make us cringe. This artist though- genuinely impressive. I had to share this with the team and we were all impressed.
Beautiful repair job!
I love this repair. Makes the bag more unique
Thank you for the update, Insider..!! That was awesome..!! @.@
Ohh really nice you have a good hand to make it, look new bag
Great work! Can that red material be removed from the outer leather on the original bag?
They cheaped out on the bottom. They even had that material to fix the side..
Perhaps they gave the client the option? That material is very expensive, so it’s a good way to save money.
The idea here is to save money lol
Otherwise it would simply be easier to buy a new bag

It doesn't matter where they are made. It depends on the craftsmen and quality inspection. My family and I bought hotdups
Why would you put your bag on the top of a stove on the first place??? Im sure if someone has a 2k bag, also have a decent kitchen with countertops
A redesign with a vachetta exterior pocket where the patch was would be a better option
Squares are not aligning... amateurs...
Nice video thanks for sharing 👍👌
Is there a reason why you did not try to line up the checkers with the additional piece?
I did this to my speedy! Not as bad as this tho. Would love to know the price.
Got a clutch that needs fixing, waiting for price from LV to quote me on the one as well
@insider what do you use to clean the exterior?

Goes to show it ain't the rich who buy this crap. If they were truly rich they'd just buy another one lmao 2k is nothing.

At least at the grocery store the bags are still $0.10
now that's talent.
It would be better not to use semicircle and use rectangle and all patter would be align perfectly.
Why 2 thousands $ that's Rubbish
When the restorer used a way more luxurious material Louis Vuitton. I mean replace the PVC base with cowhide leather? Now thats a two thousand worthy dollar bag.
Try to watch Hahn Atelier on RUclips. He repair and restore leather better than this.
Really interesting
2 grand for that boring bag? lol
I have LV patent leather need to fix the handle. How to contact you?
Hello if I want to sell Louis Vuitton handbag how is it worth?
For how much LV charges for their bags, this is a crappy repair job. Well done lol
Disappointed also

Would a new one have been almost the same cost as repair???
Can you restore a nylon purse from a burn?

Wow amazing work!!!!!
It's actually nice that they repaired the bag with no problems although it takes time to do so.

Repair cost is $1980
The bag is 2k and 1k to fix it 😂
Well, that bag was certainly never full
What a shame all that work and she wouldn’t be able to authenticate it should she want to sell it which means she technically wouldn’t be able to.
If you can't afford to buy it multiple times over.. you can't afford it.
I live in New York, thank you very much. I like hidupz
If you can afford a LV bag, why wouldn’t you just get a new one instead of having a repaired LV bag that has bits “like” a LV bag.
That is !@#$ing crazy
Who leaves their handbag on top of a stove top?!?! Clients house must be a pigsty and she's got nowhere else to place her bag in the house 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Cool 😀
I rather buy a new LV than repair it. Esp. if it will cost more for repairing it.
Pretty lousy repair. Squares don’t match up
Probably the most awful restoration video on insider
Superb
it now looks cheap and fake but plus for the effort
Just throw it away
Just a plastic bag….
Love it
Circular economy footprint progress
Yeah let's restore a 25$ bag, which is sold to degenerates for 15,000$, instead of putting it in trash where in belongs brand new 🤡
This was a tacky repair.
O gosh... this video is so repetitive.
Sorry, but that is an awful repair.

Horrible and lazy work
It should have stayed burnt in my opinion...Noone needs a 3k purse, it's purely to show "I have money, you don't, ha ha ha!"
