The reality is : If you're rich and famous, your fake bag will be seen as real. If you're just an ordinary 9 to 5 worker, your real bag is likely considered fake
The fool is the person who pays $10,000 for a “real” bag. I have a fake Louis Vuitton doctor bag, purchased in Korea in 1987. I was carrying it into Neman Marcus. Several employees in the handbag area could not believe my bag was a fake. They were comparing my bag with “real” ones and they couldn’t see any difference. Mine cost me $40, real was $7500.
LV bags are easy to replicate and the fakes look extremely close to the real ones but higher end bags like Chanel or Hermès look similar but I can spot a fake Birkin a mile away as I own a small collection of Birkins and Kellys.
@@alexisdior90 нет, неправда, легче и луше подделывают именно сумки Шанель, потому что линейка и модели не меняются годами, они только перевыпускают те же модели в новых цветах или в другом материале (тканевом), так что китайские кож-галантерйщики уже давно набили руку и это дело у них поставлено на поток, а вот с луи вьютон сложнее, там больше деталей и фурнитуры на сумках и они каждый сезон выпускают новые модели в разных цветах, поэтому там надо тщателоьно следить за новыми выпускаим и более тщательно узучать новое изделие, чтобы безукоризненно все повторить.
They don't even need to lower their prices. They just need to STOP RAISING THEM. Jesus Christ, two raises a year at around 20%+ each is insane. I don't even know how long they think they can keep this up. Even my friends who are wealthy have stopped buying Chanel because the cost doesn't even make sense anymore.
They’re still making bank so I don’t really see an issue with having two tiers for consumers.. it’s not like it’s robbing from small independent designers
They’ll never lower their prices. It’s all about making these luxury items exclusive, limited edition pieces that holds its value. If they drop their prices it now becomes excessive to everyone which holds no value which in the end makes a luxury brand not so luxury like Coach or MK.
I have no sympathy for brands like Chanel. They just focus on selling designs that have existed for decades so "intellectual property" can't really be an excuse to justify the high price tag. Also it gets easier to replicate those designs over time.
Price is based on supply & demand. Now, people buying fake products are just people “pretending” to be the new rich driven by social media which is a total embarrasment, not to mention that their purchases only fuel organized crime in all aspects (corruption, extorsion, theft, illegal workers, underage workers, etc).
Not to mention the replica Chanel bags have better quality than the authentic! And its not just the "superfakes", even the mid tier fakes have better quality than Chanel.
I recently added a *amzrepx* luxury handbag to my collection and it's easily become my favorite. The design is elegant and timeless, and the quality is unmatched.
why... that's the whole reason for lux brands...it's expensive and you know only those that have the $$$ can buy it... my Friend just dropped $10k in Paris at Chanel for a handbag and it was worth it because she worked hard for it.
@@trainsplanesandotherthings5187 I appreciate that. I used to think $500 was a splurge for an LV bag in the early 2000s but even saving up, most ppl can't justify 10k for a handbag, especially in this economy so they will turn to fakes.
If it lower the prices their public will never buy. LV tried this 7-8 years ago and went almost bankrupt. Because normal people even with lower prices will buy one or two in a life time, but their real costumers, those who buy 10 every year will migrate because they dont want to be seen like the lower classes. That's why they are lux brands and not normal brands.
@@amybowman9906 Most people dont have to have a 10k bags. Most people should understand their places and stop trying to pretend something everyone around them know they cant afford and they are not. Most people should be real and live the life they can afford.
@@gennaterra if only that was true. I know two ppl that have bought Chanel bags in the past year. Both have had things break and are extremely unhappy with the service to even fix the issue
Nowadays Gorgeous bag, however, for saving money and high-quality bags, try t *suluxs* the rest of the money goes to needy students at schools to pay for their education, not much, but do help them a little.
I have a bunch of real bags and recently started buying replicas. Let me tell you- as someone who knows what real should look and feel like, YOU CAN NOT TELL the difference with good replicas. Down to the lining, the stitching, the materials used, etc. I will NEVERRRRR buy another real bag. Ever. No need.
Not really as once you start to use them, the fake ones fall apart fast. My sister in law once bought a fake one that looked real at first glance. But after she used it for just a few months, everything started falling apart.
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj Sorry to break it to you, but the same things are happening to bags bought straight from the boutique. I used to have a strong stance against buying fake bags but now I encourage it because I'm so sick of how these luxury companies treat their customers. They are sitting there really thinking we're idiots.
I’m with you. I have several real bags and bought replicas of the same pieces just to see and they are soooooo close! That was it for me. To be fair, the super fakes are not easy to come by or “cheap” per say. It can take months to receive and generally cost anywhere from 300-600 USD. Finding the right seller is a challenge too. DHGate is crap. Sorry.
I always wondered if a product can be reproduced and sold for 1/10th of the price, why are we going after the "faker" instead of the real producer who is selling a product for 10x what it's really worth?
I agree with you, but a big part of it is that the people in power ALSO like to feel "exclusive" by purchasing these overpriced goods that are disgustingly overpriced. as long as there are celebrities, rich folks and people who save up to buy these things they're never going to be out of business.
They re selling it because people are BUYING it. Believe it or not there re people for whom 10 k for a bag is not big money at all. It is a status , not a quality
Why are you trying to punish someone that is getting away with selling something at any price? Well at least for items you don’t really need? You’re technically going after people that are copying your work and selling it as theirs. If someone has x price and people are willing to buy then whatever. If people don’t buy their company will eventually fail.
The way my real bags are breaking and changing colors within 6 months tells me that these luxury brands are giving us cheap quick materials, Its not worth it anymore.........
I hear all the time how Chanel's quality has declined over the last few years and Influencers speak about it on a regular basis but then turn around and buy another one , it's ridiculous .
This is so helpful. I want the *gtdupe* in white but I know the black is better for my body shape. Love the slouchy fit of the soft version. The leather/linen version looks nice but is stiffer.
If you stop buying bags, you'll start to realize that bags don't make you. *jklux* You are the bag. Owning you is like owning everything. Buy a black bag and move on with your life.
The quality of authentic luxury products has gotten worse. A lot of high end brands aren't manufacturing everything in Paris; I wouldn't be surprised if the counterfeits are made by the same folks as the authentic. I have LV bags that were horribly stitched and, of course, not all are genuine leather. The trim on the strap of one of my limited edition LVs started peeling before I'd used it. I called LV to report it and was told that they would repair it--at my expense. Whatever happened to brands having Dooney & Bourke's philosophy of standing behind the quality of your product?!? Chanel also charges for repairs. If I'd find a good replica and the price was right, I'd buy it.
Coach and Doone n Bourke use to have life time warranty. No more!!! You pay for your bag if it's damaged and needs to be fixed. Gucci use to have a shop on 5th Avenue that would fix your bags. Now you may have to ship it and pay for the work. Listen buy both. It's your money. No one can tell you what to buy. Wealthy shop at Swarovski for man made diamonds. The bus loads that go to Canal Street is mind blowing. Nobody is paying these outrageous prices for these pocketbooks. Wealthy buying fake bags also don't sleep. They have private people they buy from.
@@Mediation456 Yes, I agree! Also, I'm noticing that when I've tried to sell my pre-loved bags, no one wants to pay their worth. They want luxe, on a budget. You can't take none of it with you. You'll spend $100k and more for nice things, all for someone else to enjoy when you're gone. No more! And, yes, the rich DO buy fakes. I've spotted many on Bravo's Housewives franchise, and in photos. Keep in mind, there are celebs who weren't always rich. In fact, some are actually cheap, and expect everything for free.
I know some wealthy businessmen who own a lot of real luxury brands, but they live in their mom's house. I own a house, drive a Lexus, and I also buy *gtdupe* and keep the money in my wallet for emergencies.
As someone who has worked for many years in fashion I know how much high end bags cost to make and the mark up is ENORMOUS ! Even when they sell them at large discounts in sales ( many don't and destroy instead ) they are still making a huge profit. I visited one of the factories near Shanghai who made bags for Kors and Karan in the US.
@@SprucedandGussied Many big fashion houses destroy their goods. One year Burberry burnt over a million in goods so as not to devalue the label by discounting them. Hermes destroys its stock of fabric and leather regularly, they don't want it to be known. A friend used to make leather jackets for Hermes and out of the large leather skins he was asked to use only certain small sections and destroy the rest. It's sad but they write it off.
@@SprucedandGussied Luxury bags are slashed to avoid being resold if found at the dumpster. It's an incredibly wasteful and abhorrent trend that proves these mark-ups don't reflect the quality - only the hype. To upkeep the hype, brands resort to destroying their own products that don't sell (and become outdated, as far as new models are released), as opposed to selling them to discount outlets, or donating them. In doing the latter, the hype (being the "rarity") would be significantly reduced, because the handbags would be roaming around in more numerous and cheaper options, therefore threatening the artificial exclusivity of the luxury brands themselves. Look it up.
Yes, you are correct as I know first-hand Cartier destroy millions of dollars in goods, so as to not devalue their product, or heaven forfend, end up at TJ MAXX. So, luxury items really are a game, if you're willing to play and are in it for re-sale value, then play, if you want the look and the fake flex, buy the counterfeit.
I received the *esluxscom* small puzzle bag for Christmas in textured leather red and I adore this bag. It is so easy to use, so we'll made, love the ease of the zippers and can hold so much. I love the look of it and it is so comfortable to wear and never feel it is heavy even wearing all day. Love your videos and style. Thanks for sharing
A lot of these super fakes are ex factory employees of these various designs houses. They have access to all the patterns , material , etc. it’s easy for them to make a business set up shop and produce and make a profit.
There have been ‘super fake’ watches for decades - they cost a lot more than the common street fakes, but are almost indistinguishable from real Rolexes, etc.
because they're made of high quality actually, real leather, real good stitching, including all important details. You really can't distinguish them from the original ones anymore. Of course these super fakes are sold at a much higher price point, but some customers are willing to pay 1 tousand for a high quality super fake rather than the 10 thousand for the real one.
I’ve seen a handful of Birkin dupe videos & this one looks super close to the real one. (The leather doesn’t look too grainy/vainy) I brought a dupe Birkin a while back but was afraid what the luxury community would say if I made a video on it lol. But now you inspired me to make one because I have some thoughts on the Birkin bag in general Can’t wait to hear an update on *esluxscom* !
A lady I work for her house worth £3-4 million and guess what. Her bags are *esluxscom* worth £60 on the road. What l learned from her. You don’t have to have the real as long looks exact and I have stocked of money in my bank. I used to buy the real to a point realising I don’t need to waste money
You know a lot about *preluxz* luxury accessories and bags. Obviously you've done your due diligence and the comparisons to the U.S. are very rich... because of course, I live in New York. Thank you so much.
I was gifted a LV Messenger Bag (2004/2007 era) years ago. Last week I took it to the LV store in my town for repairs. A store associate checked my bag and immediately told me it’s a knock-off. She pulled a current bag from inventory and compared the labels, saying the font was larger on my label. I saw zero difference. It makes me wonder if I should find a true expert!
Loved the video! I have a Small *esluxscom* in black calf leather, and absolutely love it. Not necessarily the most practical because of the narrow opening, but you can fit so much in there!
Try traveling to Tokyo Japan they sell Original lux brands for less like LV , Channel , Gucci ,Coach ,YSL etc for less its still more pricey than the fakes and still in good condition i just dont know how the costoms works in the USA if they will still tax you 2nd hand lux items but sure either buy the brand new *esluxs* you want or travel half the world away to buy 2nd hand lux items for few days that also includes your plane ticket hotel accomodations for how many days food and goodie stuffs for families and friends and other expencess but they said " original LV Bag from Japan for less " or just travel to Bangkok thailand and visit the Platinum Mall buy as many replica bags all you want w/o the hassel
My mother bought a LADY DIOR series bag at *preluxz* and she likes it very much. When she went out with it, it had been following her for over ten years.
I'm sorry, am I supposed to feel bad for these billion dollar fashion houses?! If even some experts can't tell the difference the writing is on the wall...they luxary brands better lower their prices or risk losing their business. I would buy fake and feel zero guilt.
If they lower the prices they lose even more money, the biggest market for luxury items is China, lvmh saw their profits increase again because of revenge spending. Instead of wasting 10K on a bag, spend the 10k on lvmh or richmond stock. If you are worried about prices you are not rich enough
One celebrity stylist admitted that many celebrities wear *esluxscom* . This is nothing new or strange. And many times we see celebrities posing in magazines, and the photos for promotions and advertisements are given by brands or borrowed by themselves.
When fake bags were made of even the best faux leather, (which can feel real, but wear poorly) they only fooled the ignorant... which was hardly the hope of the wearer. But sadly, designer quality has slipped, while complaints, AND PRICES, have risen. People feel taken advantage of, by companies they used to trust. No one knows, in advance, how well a bag will wear, but the bill comes, IMMEDIATELY. And, frankly extremely expensive IS NOT A THROW AWAY BAG FROM TARGET...nor SHOULD it be. It's my theory, that these companies are now catering to the ultra rich woman, with shelves, or even walls, of designer bags, in lavish walk in closets. How often will ANY of them be worn??? But for the wannabee, hoping for a little status, saving up for that ONE SPECIAL purchase she plans to wear to death.. rightly expecting longevity for her money...this one MIGHT be the one with the peeling paint, or discolored hardwear...THAT DIES EARLY. For her, this was an INVESTMENT PIECE. And this is CRUSHING. Enter the NEW fakes...sometimes, a tenth the price. SUPER QUALITY. Even when someone who closely examines them, who KNOWS, can't tell. The fact is, the markup in designer bags is ENORMOUS. And it's not JUST greed, but the cachet of the unattainable, which is what waiting lists are ALL about. But there ARE quite legitimate boutique leathergoods companies, making extroidinary, beautiful bags, at a fraction of the price, AT A PROFIT. AS are the new fakes. TAKE IT FROM THERE.
@@Justcetriyaart The interesting thing is, if you're a woman who HATES showing up somewhere, carefully dressed, only to see 3 or more OTHER women wearing YOUR THINGS...tne iconic, massively expensive designer pieces (especially with the HUGE amount of outright fakes, or mere legit odes to THAT piece, out there) ...are probably NOT for you. How special IS that Birkin, when you've just passed 6 women WEARING THEM??? You begin to feel more like a cult member, than a fashionista... Frankly, i'm NOT rich, though i do LOVE beautiful things. (and i get ALL the fashion mags, for inspiration). So my purchases HAVE to be careful and informed. Stupid, here, will seriously limit my buying power. And i am NOT an "out there" dresser... relying on quiet quality, cut, and style to make my particular statement. In a small city, i was once told, "You don't dress like anyone here", meaning, i guess, at the mall. It was NOT a compliment. I just smiled and said "No, i dress WELL". (and i had actually dressed DOWN for this). He couldn't know THAT, or that i AM, QUITE, comfortable, in Manhattan. Which, to me, means ANYWHERE. Great clothing not only gives you confidence, but THAT confidence becomes part of WHO YOU ARE. HIS opionion was UNIMPORTANT TO ME. Frankly, THAT'S priceless. IT'S ARMOUR. Bullets bounce off you... But, EVEN second hand or vintage, i am ALWAYS going for, not just fabulous design, and cut, but the quality of the materials. If you buy THAT way, and not by the most famous names, you MAY find THOSE are boutique leathergoods firms. I have a vintage B. MAKOWSKI, (a one off, for them) unstructurerd black bag, lots of silver hardware. The leather literally puddles, when empty. Used, but 5 yrs of use TO ME, it still looks new. And it is ALWAYS the best bag in the room. Yeah, i have bought frivolous bags, just for the sheer fun of them, and because they spoke to me. But they were not just cheap, but i never regreted them. A yr or 2, of use, made them well worth it. They added whimsey my wardrobe. And they weren't FAKE ANYTHING. Someone, SOMEWHERE did SOMETHING RIGHT. Now MINE. And i have gotten as many compliments on THEM, as my carefully curated pieces. Hone your eye. Get an understanding of materials, construction. For gods sake, try them on, stuff it with YOUR things...see if they WORK for you. A bag that doesn't fulfill those requirements, is NOT a bag you will wear much. OR be proud to wear. Sadly, IMPORTANT DESIGNER labels have little to do with this. But buy them (if you can afford them) if they do. But NEVER think they are the be all, end all ...they are NOT. This IS, afterall, YOUR DAMN MONEY. You should make ANYONE, work for it.
There was an article in the New York times a few months ago, about why rich women are buying fake bags. It's clear that they no longer see luxury bags as must have when that money can be invested to grow wealth. Just remember death is the equalizer, you take nothing with you.
I bought a LV bag gtdupe years ago. I took it to the LV store in my town last week to have it repaired. The store clerk inspected my bag and immediately told me that the bag was of good quality. She pulled a current bag out of inventory and compared the tags and I found zero differences
😂 with all the fake eyelashes, fake nails, hair extensions, fake bodies, why does it seem shocking that there are fake handbags. It all goes together. Fake everything!!
Most of this influencers who post themselves with the real thing usually just do a post with the bag then return it because they really can’t afford it. I see this all the time in luxury retail.
Imagine the real real and other websites who selling used designer bag and you’re paying a high price and can even not be sure if you will get the real deal it might be a fake! 😮
Although I would not buy a bag with fake branding, I have no sympathy for the luxury houses. They have been horribly greedy. I cheerfully purchase similar bags with no fake branding.
As long as replica products are not fueling terrorist groups or drug cartels or the mafia… supply and demand! I’m honestly okay with buying a fake bag so long as it’s a quality made product with quality materials.
@@disappearintothesea COUGH COUGH...THANK YOU!!! plus designer bags illegally killing crocs, and other animals to make their bags....how about that too???
I feel like soon no one will care for rich brands. I never cared for designer brands it’s more to do with the creativity of putting a unique flattering outfit together!

Just discovered your channel and I love it! Funnily enough, last week I saw a girl on the London Underground wearing a mid-length New York Demelier and I absolutely fell in love with her. I want to buy one at *preluxz* . This will be a small gift for my birthday. Thanks for the channel.
There was a very recent documentary and they were interviewing very well-off women. These women were speaking about how they no longer purchase authentic purses and have chosen to purchase really good *esluxs* of the designer bags that they do like. They then take that saved money and invest their money into other things such as real estate, stocks etc.
Spoiler alert: they are. Louis Vuitton and Chanel have been selling botched bags lately and I'm not exaggerating. When people are spending $2000-$15000 on a bag, it should not be creasing or falling apart within the first year.
Loved the video! I have a Small *esluxscom* in black calf leather, and absolutely love it. Not necessarily the most practical because of the narrow opening, but you can fit so much in there!
Perception is everything, I remember saving up for my first LV and some coworkers automatically thought it was fake because I was a young black girl. At that point I really stopped caring what people's opinions were, people will always have their opinions based on how you look. After this I shopped in *esluxscom* . If you drive a Bentley and get out of the car with a fake Hermès, no one will question you.
Thank you for doing this! Lots of good info.If you can, please list good websites or places to find *esluxs* , you know, Hermes is so selective.Also, would love to see something about Lady Dior. I have to say, my heart broke a little when you said “Oh, Prada does these as well”, regarding the serial number. (I’m a nurse, so I probably shouldn’t even dream about owning a Birkin, but I bought my first Prada earlier this year and I was so proud of it. Now it feels a bit like Dollar General ).
O stopped purchasing luxury bags after My LV’s handle peeled off and the store where I took the bag said I had to pay to get it fix. I used the bag just a few times and the handle that I didnt even use that much PEEDLED OFF.
It depends upon the carrier of the bag, if you look rich and you carry fake bags it will no longer look fake. But if you're an ordinary worker, low salary, fake bag looks cheap and fake.....
With decreasing quality at luxury brands such as LV, I bet replicas are even better than the originals. I have seen loads of Videos of people complaining. And before, these issues would have made the difference between real and fake….
The story is not about bags. It's about real and fake people. If you like the shape/color/style of a bag and the stitching-hardware-quality control is nice buy it and forget what I think about it or you. It's really that simple.
I think that people would much rather put their thousands in more reasonable investments, whether it be real estate or investment funds. I think the idea of a person, rich or not-so-rich, spending thousands of dollars on a single handbag is incredibly ridiculous! It's absolutely mind-boggling!
Yeah, for u, cos u re dirt poor. But if u were getting a million a day what would 10 k be for u? Nothing. Yeah. I told u the truth, just try to look surprised
@@bambinaforever1402 A lot of fakes are bought by people who have money. They are the ones who buy the most fakes, because they don't throw their money away. It's enough to read the comments on Chinese sites to understand who the real customers of such fakes are. Rich people.
People spend their money in many ways. Not everyone is thinking in investment terms. If they cry about how much money they don’t have but have expensive items I think that’s when you can point a finger at their choices.
If you smell the bag, you do not know what you are even looking for lol! People try to smell our bags at Louis Vuitton when they come in and I just Laugh.
Every time I see a $20 bill being exchanged on canal street, I think “THAT’S a smart person”! If you believe in a conveyor belt version of luxury (every highly branded designer bag ever), you might as well just save your money. Let’s ask ourselves some questions- do we like the look of the LV monogram? Personally, I don’t. Do we allow ourselves to express style outside the confines of status? From what I can see, most people don’t give themselves that luxury. While I think it’s smart to save money if you insist on trying to buy status, I think the entire dilemma gives shocking insight to the obsession with everyone else’s opinions except our own. Get over it and get into YOUR unique style! Signed, A former stylist
I know people that make very good money 200k+ annually and they only buy replicas. No one would question whether their bags are fake or real simply because of their careers, therefore why spend thousands on the same bag? It’s refreshing to see people being smart with their money.
This is an interesting topic. Usually the bag cost less than 100 euro to make, the cost is skyrocketed with the marketing, operations, and brand value. Unfortunately most people are looking for brand value, not high quality item, that’s why they are buying counterfeits, otherwise logos.
People forget that designer goods are just an accessory of the fact to financially “rich” people. Just like how they can spend $300 for a lunch just cause they can, they can afford designer goods as a lifestyle choice. A lot of people nowadays spend their whole month’s paycheck to purchase a bag. It’s all about living below your means. There’s obviously an imbalance in your life choices if you’re carrying a $5,000 chanel bag and drive a Honda and eat and White Castle. It’s not about how rich you look but about building generational wealth and cash flow.
Exactly is better to buy a fake , because even if you buy the real deal people can tell by the way you dress, your job, your car,your house your social status
Many luxury brands items are produced in cheap labour factories, that’s why the fake one can be released to the market very fast. You can also get the seconds in the market for super low price.
I doubt the very expensive bags are made by cheap labour, there are limited amounts of them and they are handmade, they’re mostly made in Europe, they’re not mass produced.
Are these issues happening if these bags are used daily? I just got the pochette metis in monogram canvas from the Kusama collection. I love the multicolored polka dots and hope they don’t melt on me, lol. But I don’t think it’ll be in my regular rotation. I also have a NoeNoe in DA but only use that a few times a year in the spring and summer so I haven’t put that much wear and tear into it. I hope I don’t see the fraying for a while. Also, I’m saving up for a *esluxscom* . Has your colleague seen the same issues with that size? I don’t mind some relaxation in shape but I don’t want it to be a puddle either. Thanks for the video!
I have always liked the pattern and the colors of the Goyard tote, but I'll be damned if I would spend 3k on a bag, especially one that isn't even leather. How they justify that price? Maniacs.
Replica bags have been on the rise for YEARS 🤣 Whether it’s authentic, a replica, an “inspired piece”, or a straight up knock off: Where whatever you want!
I saw the thumbnail and I had to tune in to see this beauty. I'm planning for my next *esluxscom* . I can't decide if I want the Pochette Metis or some other type of LV with a strap. I own the Speedy 30 and would love a crossbody on the lighter days. For now I carry my LV Zippy wallet as a clutch when I don't want to carry my Speedy. I was thinking of buying the classic crossbody Gucci again. I owned it when I was a teen, but I didn't appreciate luxury pieces as a teen. I think I sold it. Thanks for this video. I love these videos.
My hard working money goes to authentic, real brands. I'll never be able to afford a Birkin or Chanel and will be completely fine without those brands.
You don’t have to be rich to buy *esluxs* But their quality isn’t what it used to be. So sometimes it’s not always worth it to me. You can find other luxury or mid-range brands that are just as nice in design and quality. But you should never go into debt trying to buy luxury goods.
At the same time the designer bags quality has gone down drastically though it carries a hefty price tag. May be they should treat their customers well as humans and also up their game by manufacturing a quality product.
I’m not going to be working so many hours and hours to go out and put the Money I traded my TIME for into the pockets of people who don’t even know I exist and would care less if they did. Designer brands are OVERRATED!
Hi Thanks for sharing. I just bought the *esluxscom* 2 days ago which was on my wish list for my occasion bag, is it worth buying this? The félicie pochette is really nice and classy and you can use it in 4 different ways, so the CA showed me the félicie from the drawer and I checked on it then I asked the CA if he can get another stock so I can compare the one he pulled from the drawer so he did. I noticed that the félicie from the drawer the leather was a bit shiny or glossy while the stock he got the leather was matt so I choose the shiny one that attracted me but I just wondered why they are different and you might have any idea. When I got home I just noticed that when you opened the envelop the back mid fold leather was a little loose is it normal when openning but when its closed its ok no problem (I didn’t noticed in the store and compare to the other one). Any advise will appreciate, I do always love watching your videos.
That’s scary because I buy luxury bags off Poshmark. They are authenticated, but if these bags can fool experts, some savvy people may get away with selling fakes for a high price off poshmark and EBay for example
Depends on the brand I think but newer LV bags have a sensor built into the bag. A friend of mine authenticates on Fashionphile and she says they scan the fibers of the leather and that even 1:1 bags have clear indications they are not authentic that information is proprietary so they don’t leak info to factories in china.
This just shows that fake and real ones are no difference in terms of material and quality so basically it’s just a waste of money paying so much on a purse… 😅
I love the designer brands' shapes or prints, however, the materials they use are so low quality it made it easy for the knockoff to thrive in sales versus paying for crappy materials. Designers, step up the quality and maybe you can continue to charge those prices.
I don’t care what people want to spend their money on… real or fake. That’s a personal choice. But know this…. If you are going to carry a fake and you want to pull it off as real, then carry yourself as someone who could afford the real thing. The easiest way to know a fake is to see the person carrying it. How are they walking, talking, dressed and overall carrying themselves? It may seem harsh, but it’s realty. I work in an industry where I see both the fakes and the real deals and 99.9% of the time I can always tell when a bag is fake and its usually because the person carrying it is being anything but refined or sophisticated. That type of negative behavior brings attention to you and the bag you are carrying, making people who would otherwise dismiss it as real question it now. So wear your fake or real bag with class and no one will ever know or care!
I see this a lot in the California burbs. The sloppy dresser wearing a designer bag. Whether their bag is fake or real it cheapens the brand they are wearing. It makes me not want to buy that bag because I do not equate sloppy with luxury. I will look more closely next time to see if I can identify if their luxury bag is a fake. I do not buy fakes of sort. To each his own, I guess.
Idk, I think it’s a weird act in general to “look rich”. People should buy things that they like and can comfortably afford. I don’t dress fancy at all. Usually just all black outfits but they can range from fitted joggers and hoodies to dresses and I’ll still rock my designer bags how I see fit. I think it’s tacky to buy designer just to show status. Some of the most graceful and polished people I know are middle class and don’t wear a lick of designer. I buy a Louis bag because I like it not because I’m trying to prove I’m rich.
Sadly, in Italy, there are many Chinese factories using Chinese workers to make poor quality "MADE IN ITALY" items which are sent overseas to unsuspecting consumers who think they are buying Italian quality. Now getting back to the subject at hand, some of the replica designer bags made in Mainland China are better quality than the already overpriced originals. Fashion Houses are targeting the Middle Class - the Upper Class wouldn't be caught dead wearing their brand unless they are being paid huge amounts of money to promote that particular label.
IDGAF if it's fake or not, as long as something looks the same, does what I want, and is a 💩 ton cheaper......I'm getting the knockoffs of whatever 🙄 Designer bags, clothing, or whatever else is a complete waste of money the rich just get to blow the $$$ on 😑
You also have to blame these luxury brands who have sent their handbags to be made in Chinese or even fixed on china then expected it’s customers to pay full price.
I use to go to partys that sold fake purses for pennies on the dollar back in the. 70's they looked so real. Paying 5 to $10,000 for a purse is insane since woman don't use the same purse more then 2 times a month.
I never understood why buy a designer bag like Prada or Louie Vuitton? Spending that kind of money is wasteful. It doesn't mean your rich, unless your actually rich.
There is a documentary about YSL shoes and how the workers from the town in Italy are complaining about this companies bringing chinese to work at the factories in Italy and pay them nothing compare to what they have to pay Italians. The chinese live right there in the factory so the final value of the pair of ysl shoes is like twelve dollars and they sell them for 900.
I don’t care if it’s real or fake… they are both real. One is made by a famous company and you pay thousands of pounds… the “fake” one is cheaper. So what? There shouldn’t be a real and fake one in the first place. No one should care if something is real or not. If it matters to you, then do you, but if you buy a real one just to be sure that people can know, I feel there is a problem there all by itself. Do things for you, who cares what people think.
I meannnn... I love a good dupe! Especially since I can't afford the designer version. If I'm getting a dupe, it's because I really like the style or silhouette, not because of the name attached... so why not?
Tbh no one cares anymore! The fact that these high end fashion houses can’t repair bags they made to easily break! No! This is karma! Fix our bags! I paid so much for Coach and Gucci and the repair process is like pulling teeth!
A smart person would never buy luxury bags. Rich-wannabe people will buy luxury bags as what they see on celebrities not realizing that the luxury brands give it to celebrities for free for the sake of endorsement and marketing 😅
Everyone keeps saying they should lower the price. But the point of them are “exclusivity”. They are not made for the average person to wear, hence the price.
@Raven Knoxx I know someone who worked for GUCCI. If high end fashion houses could control who buys/wears their products, they would. They feel that certain types of people devalue their products.
I feel like LV does that on purpose, specifically to make the brand exclusive. People have said that vintage LV is better, others saying that the quality is in the leather and not the coated canvas. I’ve search for vintage LV and their pieces do NOT hold up after time. Even when well taken care of. I feel like LV is made for people that can afford to keep repurchasing items willy-nilly. They are pricing people out.
Exactly, you don’t buy a 3000$ baseball cap because is better you buy it because only a handful of people can buy it, but because the market for ultra rich people is so small lvmh and Richmond opened the gates to middle to upper middle class because is a bigger demographic.
It’s not fake … u can tell copy bag… leather and designs are same… it’s not fake leather. So actually that bag is around 100-200$ but they sell it 10k lol So it’s right to buy less price… It’s not fake
Or rather the quality of the REAL bags have gotten so low that the fakes can actually pass off as real. I have a few auth chanels but i buy the super fakes in the same exact colors so i can wear them without guilt
The reality is : If you're rich and famous, your fake bag will be seen as real. If you're just an ordinary 9 to 5 worker, your real bag is likely considered fake
Exactly and it is the status of the person that gives these objects the power they have not the actual item themselves.
Exactly. Look at the total outfit the person is wearing aside from the bag. Pretty easy to tell.
@@stache1954 Not true.
I love bags. But I'm pretty average or simple with my clothing.
@@FranSanTeeth90 I bet you have good taste and carry yourself well.
Unless they put it on their credit card.
The fool is the person who pays $10,000 for a “real” bag. I have a fake Louis Vuitton doctor bag, purchased in Korea in 1987. I was carrying it into Neman Marcus. Several employees in the handbag area could not believe my bag was a fake. They were comparing my bag with “real” ones and they couldn’t see any difference. Mine cost me $40, real was $7500.
LV bags are easy to replicate and the fakes look extremely close to the real ones but higher end bags like Chanel or Hermès look similar but I can spot a fake Birkin a mile away as I own a small collection of Birkins and Kellys.
@@alexisdior90 maybe the only fakes you've spotted are the obviously fake ones.
@@alexisdior90 нет, неправда, легче и луше подделывают именно сумки Шанель, потому что линейка и модели не меняются годами, они только перевыпускают те же модели в новых цветах или в другом материале (тканевом), так что китайские кож-галантерйщики уже давно набили руку и это дело у них поставлено на поток, а вот с луи вьютон сложнее, там больше деталей и фурнитуры на сумках и они каждый сезон выпускают новые модели в разных цветах, поэтому там надо тщателоьно следить за новыми выпускаим и более тщательно узучать новое изделие, чтобы безукоризненно все повторить.
Things that most definitely did not happen loll
Smart idea.
If fashion houses are so concerned maybe they should lower the prices🤷♀️.
They don't even need to lower their prices. They just need to STOP RAISING THEM. Jesus Christ, two raises a year at around 20%+ each is insane. I don't even know how long they think they can keep this up. Even my friends who are wealthy have stopped buying Chanel because the cost doesn't even make sense anymore.
They’re still making bank so I don’t really see an issue with having two tiers for consumers.. it’s not like it’s robbing from small independent designers
@@jwychau 😊
They’ll never lower their prices. It’s all about making these luxury items exclusive, limited edition pieces that holds its value. If they drop their prices it now becomes excessive to everyone which holds no value which in the end makes a luxury brand not so luxury like Coach or MK.
Their quality is slowing getting worse and prices are rising!
I have no sympathy for brands like Chanel. They just focus on selling designs that have existed for decades so "intellectual property" can't really be an excuse to justify the high price tag. Also it gets easier to replicate those designs over time.
Price is based on supply & demand. Now, people buying fake products are just people “pretending” to be the new rich driven by social media which is a total embarrasment, not to mention that their purchases only fuel organized crime in all aspects (corruption, extorsion, theft, illegal workers, underage workers, etc).
Not to mention the replica Chanel bags have better quality than the authentic! And its not just the "superfakes", even the mid tier fakes have better quality than Chanel.
I recently added a *amzrepx* luxury handbag to my collection and it's easily become my favorite. The design is elegant and timeless, and the quality is unmatched.
*amzrepx* Literally the happiest place we girls are!
The website link for the higher quality replicas is *suluxs* . Do you have another?
The irony is that luxury brands could save the billions of dollars she says they spend on fighting fakes and simply lower the price.
why... that's the whole reason for lux brands...it's expensive and you know only those that have the $$$ can buy it... my Friend just dropped $10k in Paris at Chanel for a handbag and it was worth it because she worked hard for it.
@@trainsplanesandotherthings5187 I appreciate that. I used to think $500 was a splurge for an LV bag in the early 2000s but even saving up, most ppl can't justify 10k for a handbag, especially in this economy so they will turn to fakes.
@@trainsplanesandotherthings5187 lol…….
If it lower the prices their public will never buy. LV tried this 7-8 years ago and went almost bankrupt. Because normal people even with lower prices will buy one or two in a life time, but their real costumers, those who buy 10 every year will migrate because they dont want to be seen like the lower classes. That's why they are lux brands and not normal brands.
@@amybowman9906 Most people dont have to have a 10k bags. Most people should understand their places and stop trying to pretend something everyone around them know they cant afford and they are not. Most people should be real and live the life they can afford.
Some of the super fakes are of much better quality then the real thing. I’m looking at you Chanel!
Only the real one passes the test of time. Yes, they are over prized, but it takes more hand craft and time to make a real one.
@@gennaterra if only that was true. I know two ppl that have bought Chanel bags in the past year. Both have had things break and are extremely unhappy with the service to even fix the issue
Exactly
My sister bought Chanel flats and the sole came completely off in a few months. Chanel store was so rude and unhelpful
@@prima-madalina I believe it. I have heard so many horror stories about Chanel.
I agree, I was saving $1600 to buy a real LV bag… they raised the price to over $2200. I decided against buying LV period
I went to a secondhand bag salon and yes they do have knock offs but the price you can have 3-4 bags
*suluxs* company , the reputation has been good, I also purchased one, the same as yours, 1 weeks to the United States, very delicate bag
Nowadays Gorgeous bag, however, for saving money and high-quality bags, try t *suluxs* the rest of the money goes to needy students at schools to pay for their education, not much, but do help them a little.
Love thiss..every summer I pull out my little black *esluxscom* clutch and this summer I'm coming out with new heels so that will be my summer wear
Real wealthy people dont need to proove their status by logos so they wouldnt care you think they carry a *esluxscom* or real.
I have a bunch of real bags and recently started buying replicas. Let me tell you- as someone who knows what real should look and feel like, YOU CAN NOT TELL the difference with good replicas. Down to the lining, the stitching, the materials used, etc. I will NEVERRRRR buy another real bag. Ever. No need.
Not really as once you start to use them, the fake ones fall apart fast. My sister in law once bought a fake one that looked real at first glance. But after she used it for just a few months, everything started falling apart.
❤❤❤❤
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj Sorry to break it to you, but the same things are happening to bags bought straight from the boutique. I used to have a strong stance against buying fake bags but now I encourage it because I'm so sick of how these luxury companies treat their customers. They are sitting there really thinking we're idiots.
I’m with you. I have several real bags and bought replicas of the same pieces just to see and they are soooooo close! That was it for me. To be fair, the super fakes are not easy to come by or “cheap” per say. It can take months to receive and generally cost anywhere from 300-600 USD. Finding the right seller is a challenge too. DHGate is crap. Sorry.
@@pa5666 yassssss
I always wondered if a product can be reproduced and sold for 1/10th of the price, why are we going after the "faker" instead of the real producer who is selling a product for 10x what it's really worth?
I agree with you, but a big part of it is that the people in power ALSO like to feel "exclusive" by purchasing these overpriced goods that are disgustingly overpriced. as long as there are celebrities, rich folks and people who save up to buy these things they're never going to be out of business.
Because the poor can't enjoy anything without persecution.
They re selling it because people are BUYING it. Believe it or not there re people for whom 10 k for a bag is not big money at all. It is a status , not a quality
Maybe because people don't want to pay 10 times as much? :D
Why are you trying to punish someone that is getting away with selling something at any price? Well at least for items you don’t really need? You’re technically going after people that are copying your work and selling it as theirs. If someone has x price and people are willing to buy then whatever. If people don’t buy their company will eventually fail.
The way my real bags are breaking and changing colors within 6 months tells me that these luxury brands are giving us cheap quick materials, Its not worth it anymore.........
I hear all the time how Chanel's quality has declined over the last few years and Influencers speak about it on a regular basis but then turn around and buy another one , it's ridiculous .
I really like the gold/red combination of your *esluxscom* tote, I haven't seen it in those colours before.
The *esluxscom* bags that are $1000 - you can’t tell!! Trust me! There are no difference
This is so helpful. I want the *gtdupe* in white but I know the black is better for my body shape. Love the slouchy fit of the soft version. The leather/linen version looks nice but is stiffer.
If you stop buying bags, you'll start to realize that bags don't make you. *jklux* You are the bag. Owning you is like owning everything. Buy a black bag and move on with your life.
The quality of authentic luxury products has gotten worse. A lot of high end brands aren't manufacturing everything in Paris; I wouldn't be surprised if the counterfeits are made by the same folks as the authentic. I have LV bags that were horribly stitched and, of course, not all are genuine leather. The trim on the strap of one of my limited edition LVs started peeling before I'd used it. I called LV to report it and was told that they would repair it--at my expense. Whatever happened to brands having Dooney & Bourke's philosophy of standing behind the quality of your product?!? Chanel also charges for repairs. If I'd find a good replica and the price was right, I'd buy it.
Coach and Doone n Bourke use to have life time warranty. No more!!! You pay for your bag if it's damaged and needs to be fixed. Gucci use to have a shop on 5th Avenue that would fix your bags. Now you may have to ship it and pay for the work. Listen buy both. It's your money. No one can tell you what to buy. Wealthy shop at Swarovski for man made diamonds. The bus loads that go to Canal Street is mind blowing. Nobody is paying these outrageous prices for these pocketbooks. Wealthy buying fake bags also don't sleep. They have private people they buy from.
@@Mediation456 Yes, I agree! Also, I'm noticing that when I've tried to sell my pre-loved bags, no one wants to pay their worth. They want luxe, on a budget. You can't take none of it with you. You'll spend $100k and more for nice things, all for someone else to enjoy when you're gone. No more! And, yes, the rich DO buy fakes. I've spotted many on Bravo's Housewives franchise, and in photos. Keep in mind, there are celebs who weren't always rich. In fact, some are actually cheap, and expect everything for free.
I know some wealthy businessmen who own a lot of real luxury brands, but they live in their mom's house. I own a house, drive a Lexus, and I also buy *gtdupe* and keep the money in my wallet for emergencies.
As someone who has worked for many years in fashion I know how much high end bags cost to make and the mark up is ENORMOUS ! Even when they sell them at large discounts in sales ( many don't and destroy instead ) they are still making a huge profit. I visited one of the factories near Shanghai who made bags for Kors and Karan in the US.
Please elaborate more on the "destroy" part of your comment.
@@SprucedandGussied Many big fashion houses destroy their goods. One year Burberry burnt over a million in goods so as not to devalue the label by discounting them. Hermes destroys its stock of fabric and leather regularly, they don't want it to be known. A friend used to make leather jackets for Hermes and out of the large leather skins he was asked to use only certain small sections and destroy the rest. It's sad but they write it off.
@@SprucedandGussied Luxury bags are slashed to avoid being resold if found at the dumpster. It's an incredibly wasteful and abhorrent trend that proves these mark-ups don't reflect the quality - only the hype. To upkeep the hype, brands resort to destroying their own products that don't sell (and become outdated, as far as new models are released), as opposed to selling them to discount outlets, or donating them. In doing the latter, the hype (being the "rarity") would be significantly reduced, because the handbags would be roaming around in more numerous and cheaper options, therefore threatening the artificial exclusivity of the luxury brands themselves. Look it up.
That’s why Bernard Arnault is the wealthiest person in the world now
Yes, you are correct as I know first-hand Cartier destroy millions of dollars in goods, so as to not devalue their product, or heaven forfend, end up at TJ MAXX. So, luxury items really are a game, if you're willing to play and are in it for re-sale value, then play, if you want the look and the fake flex, buy the counterfeit.
Those real bags are not worth it I would never pay 10,000 dollars for a purse and it’s criminal that they charge that
I received the *esluxscom* small puzzle bag for Christmas in textured leather red and I adore this bag. It is so easy to use, so we'll made, love the ease of the zippers and can hold so much.

A lot of these super fakes are ex factory employees of these various designs houses. They have access to all the patterns , material , etc. it’s easy for them to make a business set up shop and produce and make a profit.
very very true...never thought of that...hhhmmmm
During the day they manufacture the real thing,during the night they manufacture to sell to sell tru the door of the horse😂
@@weird-guy you are correct. An Asian guy shared that with my friend. They use the sane materials.

There have been ‘super fake’ watches for decades - they cost a lot more than the common street fakes, but are almost indistinguishable from real Rolexes, etc.
but you will always know its a fake.... and its worthless...
because they're made of high quality actually, real leather, real good stitching, including all important details. You really can't distinguish them from the original ones anymore. Of course these super fakes are sold at a much higher price point, but some customers are willing to pay 1 tousand for a high quality super fake rather than the 10 thousand for the real one.

@@trainsplanesandotherthings5187it’s worth the money you spent on it.
I’ve seen a handful of Birkin dupe videos & this one looks super close to the real one. (The leather doesn’t look too grainy/vainy) I brought a dupe Birkin a while back but was afraid what the luxury community would say if I made a video on it lol. But now you inspired me to make one because I have some thoughts on the Birkin bag in general Can’t wait to hear an update on *esluxscom* !

You know a lot about *preluxz* luxury accessories and bags. Obviously you've done your due diligence and the comparisons to the U.S. are very rich... because of course, I live in New York. Thank you so much.
I was gifted a LV Messenger Bag (2004/2007 era) years ago. Last week I took it to the LV store in my town for repairs. A store associate checked my bag and immediately told me it’s a knock-off. She pulled a current bag from inventory and compared the labels, saying the font was larger on my label. I saw zero difference. It makes me wonder if I should find a true expert!
At this point I think the fakes are better made than the originals...
Loved the video! I have a Small *esluxscom* in black calf leather, and absolutely love it. Not necessarily the most practical because of the narrow opening, but you can fit so much in there!
Try traveling to Tokyo Japan they sell Original lux brands for less like LV , Channel , Gucci ,Coach ,YSL etc for less its still more pricey than the fakes and still in good condition i just dont know how the costoms works in the USA if they will still tax you 2nd hand lux items but sure either buy the brand new *esluxs* you want or travel half the world away to buy 2nd hand lux items for few days that also includes your plane ticket hotel accomodations for how many days food and goodie stuffs for families and friends and other expencess but they said " original LV Bag from Japan for less " or just travel to Bangkok thailand and visit the Platinum Mall buy as many replica bags all you want w/o the hassel
My mother bought a LADY DIOR series bag at *preluxz* and she likes it very much. When she went out with it, it had been following her for over ten years.
I'm sorry, am I supposed to feel bad for these billion dollar fashion houses?! If even some experts can't tell the difference the writing is on the wall...they luxary brands better lower their prices or risk losing their business. I would buy fake and feel zero guilt.
Say it louder PLEASE 👏👏
If they lower the prices they lose even more money, the biggest market for luxury items is China, lvmh saw their profits increase again because of revenge spending.
Instead of wasting 10K on a bag, spend the 10k on lvmh or richmond stock.
If you are worried about prices you are not rich enough
😊😊😊😊😊right there with you!
And don't feel bad for the child labor either...
One celebrity stylist admitted that many celebrities wear *esluxscom* . This is nothing new or strange. And many times we see celebrities posing in magazines, and the photos for promotions and advertisements are given by brands or borrowed by themselves.
When fake bags were made of even the best faux leather, (which can feel real, but wear poorly) they only fooled the ignorant... which was hardly the hope of the wearer.
But sadly, designer quality has slipped, while complaints, AND PRICES, have risen. People feel taken advantage of, by companies they used to trust.
No one knows, in advance, how well a bag will wear, but the bill comes, IMMEDIATELY. And, frankly extremely expensive IS NOT A THROW AWAY BAG FROM TARGET...nor SHOULD it be.
It's my theory, that these companies are now catering to the ultra rich woman, with shelves, or even walls, of designer bags, in lavish walk in closets. How often will ANY of them be worn???
But for the wannabee, hoping for a little status, saving up for that ONE SPECIAL purchase she plans to wear to death.. rightly expecting longevity for her money...this one MIGHT be the one with the peeling paint, or discolored hardwear...THAT DIES EARLY.
For her, this was an INVESTMENT PIECE. And this is CRUSHING.
Enter the NEW fakes...sometimes, a tenth the price. SUPER QUALITY. Even when someone who closely examines them, who KNOWS, can't tell.
The fact is, the markup in designer bags is ENORMOUS. And it's not JUST greed, but the cachet of the unattainable, which is what waiting lists are ALL about.
But there ARE quite legitimate boutique leathergoods companies, making extroidinary, beautiful bags, at a fraction of the price, AT A PROFIT. AS are the new fakes. TAKE IT FROM THERE.
i didn;t even know LV bags weren;t even using real leather any longer....but charging an arm and a leg?? for what??
@@Justcetriyaart The interesting thing is, if you're a woman who HATES showing up somewhere, carefully dressed, only to see 3 or more OTHER women wearing YOUR THINGS...tne iconic, massively expensive designer pieces (especially with the HUGE amount of outright fakes, or mere legit odes to THAT piece, out there) ...are probably NOT for you.
How special IS that Birkin, when you've just passed 6 women WEARING THEM??? You begin to feel more like a cult member, than a fashionista...
Frankly, i'm NOT rich, though i do LOVE beautiful things. (and i get ALL the fashion mags, for inspiration). So my purchases HAVE to be careful and informed. Stupid, here, will seriously limit my buying power.
And i am NOT an "out there" dresser... relying on quiet quality, cut, and style to make my particular statement. In a small city, i was once told, "You don't dress like anyone here", meaning, i guess, at the mall. It was NOT a compliment. I just smiled and said "No, i dress WELL". (and i had actually dressed DOWN for this). He couldn't know THAT, or that i AM, QUITE, comfortable, in Manhattan. Which, to me, means ANYWHERE.
Great clothing not only gives you confidence, but THAT confidence becomes part of WHO YOU ARE. HIS opionion was UNIMPORTANT TO ME. Frankly, THAT'S priceless. IT'S ARMOUR. Bullets bounce off you...
But, EVEN second hand or vintage, i am ALWAYS going for, not just fabulous design, and cut, but the quality of the materials. If you buy THAT way, and not by the most famous names, you MAY find THOSE are boutique leathergoods firms.
I have a vintage B. MAKOWSKI, (a one off, for them) unstructurerd black bag, lots of silver hardware. The leather literally puddles, when empty. Used, but 5 yrs of use TO ME, it still looks new. And it is ALWAYS the best bag in the room.
Yeah, i have bought frivolous bags, just for the sheer fun of them, and because they spoke to me. But they were not just cheap, but i never regreted them. A yr or 2, of use, made them well worth it. They added whimsey my wardrobe. And they weren't FAKE ANYTHING. Someone, SOMEWHERE did SOMETHING RIGHT. Now MINE.
And i have gotten as many compliments on THEM, as my carefully curated pieces.
Hone your eye. Get an understanding of materials, construction. For gods sake, try them on, stuff it with YOUR things...see if they WORK for you. A bag that doesn't fulfill those requirements, is NOT a bag you will wear much. OR be proud to wear.
Sadly, IMPORTANT DESIGNER labels have little to do with this. But buy them (if you can afford them) if they do. But NEVER think they are the be all, end all ...they are NOT.
This IS, afterall, YOUR DAMN MONEY. You should make ANYONE, work for it.
There was an article in the New York times a few months ago, about why rich women are buying fake bags. It's clear that they no longer see luxury bags as must have when that money can be invested to grow wealth. Just remember death is the equalizer, you take nothing with you.
I bought a LV bag gtdupe years ago. I took it to the LV store in my town last week to have it repaired. The store clerk inspected my bag and immediately told me that the bag was of good quality. She pulled a current bag out of inventory and compared the tags and I found zero differences

Fakes keeps manufacturers honest. They have to produce quality and value.
Although I would not buy a bag with fake branding, I have no sympathy for the luxury houses. They have been horribly greedy. I cheerfully purchase similar bags with no fake branding.

the only difference is that it was sold illegally. but technically, they have the same material.
There you go. Just like crochet. Why is a prada crochet bag more expensive than a regular crochet bag. It's THE SAME BAG
You are paying for the brand and the prestige that comes with it
What is your prblm ??if ppl who don’t have loads of money enjoy *esluxscom* on smaller budget ??
There was a very recent documentary and they were interviewing very well-off women. These women were speaking about how they no longer purchase authentic purses and have chosen to purchase really good *esluxs* of the designer bags that they do like. They then take that saved money and invest their money into other things such as real estate, stocks etc.
hmm if the quality is so good these luxury brands must be slipping and cutting corners on their own quality
Spoiler alert: they are. Louis Vuitton and Chanel have been selling botched bags lately and I'm not exaggerating. When people are spending $2000-$15000 on a bag, it should not be creasing or falling apart within the first year.
Loved the video! I have a Small *esluxscom* in black calf leather, and absolutely love it. Not necessarily the most practical because of the narrow opening, but you can fit so much in there!
Perception is everything, I remember saving up for my first LV and some coworkers automatically thought it was fake because I was a young black girl. At that point I really stopped caring what people's opinions were, people will always have their opinions based on how you look. After this I shopped in *esluxscom* . If you drive a Bentley and get out of the car with a fake
Hermès, no one will question you.
Thank you for doing this! Lots of good info.If you can, please list good websites or places to find *esluxs* , you know, Hermes is so selective.Also, would love to see something about Lady Dior. I have to say, my heart broke a little when you said “Oh, Prada does these as well”, regarding the serial number. (I’m a nurse, so I probably shouldn’t even dream about owning a Birkin, but I bought my first Prada earlier this year and I was so proud of it. Now it feels a bit like Dollar General ).
O stopped purchasing luxury bags after My LV’s handle peeled off and the store where I took the bag said I had to pay to get it fix. I used the bag just a few times and the handle that I didnt even use that much PEEDLED OFF.
The variety of textures in the *esluxscom* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
It depends upon the carrier of the bag, if you look rich and you carry fake bags it will no longer look fake. But if you're an ordinary worker, low salary, fake bag looks cheap and fake.....
With decreasing quality at luxury brands such as LV, I bet replicas are even better than the originals. I have seen loads of Videos of people complaining. And before, these issues would have made the difference between real and fake….
Interestingly, that in a *esluxs* , the inside sewing at the handles is more carefully made (leather is not so frayed), than in the original one,
The story is not about bags.
It's about real and fake people.
If you like the shape/color/style of a bag
and the stitching-hardware-quality control is nice
buy it and forget what I think about it or you.
It's really that simple.
When you showed that transparent *esluxs* , my inner magpie screamed because you didn't buy it. It's soooooo pretty.
I think that people would much rather put their thousands in more reasonable investments, whether it be real estate or investment funds. I think the idea of a person, rich or not-so-rich, spending thousands of dollars on a single handbag is incredibly ridiculous! It's absolutely mind-boggling!
Yeah, for u, cos u re dirt poor. But if u were getting a million a day what would 10 k be for u? Nothing. Yeah. I told u the truth, just try to look surprised
@@bambinaforever1402 A lot of fakes are bought by people who have money. They are the ones who buy the most fakes, because they don't throw their money away. It's enough to read the comments on Chinese sites to understand who the real customers of such fakes are. Rich people.
A lot of handbags are investments. You clearly don’t know anything about it…. Someone will pick you don’t worry
@@nanad3594 This is too exaggerated. Only a couple of handbags are an investment (Birkin Kelly), the rest are mostly losing in value.
People spend their money in many ways. Not everyone is thinking in investment terms. If they cry about how much money they don’t have but have expensive items I think that’s when you can point a finger at their choices.
If you smell the bag, you do not know what you are even looking for lol! People try to smell our bags at Louis Vuitton when they come in and I just Laugh.
Every time I see a $20 bill being exchanged on canal street, I think “THAT’S a smart person”! If you believe in a conveyor belt version of luxury (every highly branded designer bag ever), you might as well just save your money. Let’s ask ourselves some questions- do we like the look of the LV monogram? Personally, I don’t. Do we allow ourselves to express style outside the confines of status? From what I can see, most people don’t give themselves that luxury. While I think it’s smart to save money if you insist on trying to buy status, I think the entire dilemma gives shocking insight to the obsession with everyone else’s opinions except our own. Get over it and get into YOUR unique style!

PREACH
I know people that make very good money 200k+ annually and they only buy replicas. No one would question whether their bags are fake or real simply because of their careers, therefore why spend thousands on the same bag? It’s refreshing to see people being smart with their money.
This is an interesting topic.
Usually the bag cost less than 100 euro to make, the cost is skyrocketed with the marketing, operations, and brand value.
Unfortunately most people are looking for brand value, not high quality item, that’s why they are buying counterfeits, otherwise logos.
Its better to purchase a *esluxscom* which you actually can afford...if you carry fake LV bag and travelling in metro or rikshaw what is the point
Hiii new subscriber here!! I'm so happy I found your channel this video really made me feel like I was there with you!! Thank you *esluxs*
People forget that designer goods are just an accessory of the fact to financially “rich” people. Just like how they can spend $300 for a lunch just cause they can, they can afford designer goods as a lifestyle choice. A lot of people nowadays spend their whole month’s paycheck to purchase a bag. It’s all about living below your means. There’s obviously an imbalance in your life choices if you’re carrying a $5,000 chanel bag and drive a Honda and eat and White Castle. It’s not about how rich you look but about building generational wealth and cash flow.
Exactly is better to buy a fake , because even if you buy the real deal people can tell by the way you dress, your job, your car,your house your social status
Many luxury brands items are produced in cheap labour factories, that’s why the fake one can be released to the market very fast. You can also get the seconds in the market for super low price.
I doubt the very expensive bags are made by cheap labour, there are limited amounts of them and they are handmade, they’re mostly made in Europe, they’re not mass produced.
Yes, sure they are!!!! Never made in China, right! Got it!
Are these issues happening if these bags are used daily? I just got the pochette metis in monogram canvas from the Kusama collection. I love the multicolored polka dots and hope they don’t melt on me, lol. But I don’t think it’ll be in my regular rotation. I also have a NoeNoe in DA but only use that a few times a year in the spring and summer so I haven’t put that much wear and tear into it. I hope I don’t see the fraying for a while. Also, I’m saving up for a *esluxscom* . Has your colleague seen the same issues with that size? I don’t mind some relaxation in shape but I don’t want it to be a puddle either. Thanks for the video!
They are all made in the same factory. I rest my case. Sometimes the quality with the fake is way better then the original.
I have always liked the pattern and the colors of the Goyard tote, but I'll be damned if I would spend 3k on a bag, especially one that isn't even leather. How they justify that price? Maniacs.
Yeah, like the LV bags are mostly just canvas coated with polyvinylchloride, with a tiny bit of leather trim🤣
The luxury market needs to stop charging astronomical prices for bags
Replica bags have been on the rise for YEARS 🤣 Whether it’s authentic, a replica, an “inspired piece”, or a straight up knock off: Where whatever you want!
Where?
I would rather buy in the actual store now to make sure it Is original. 😊
I saw the thumbnail and I had to tune in to see this beauty. I'm planning for my next *esluxscom* . I can't decide if I want the Pochette Metis or some other type of LV with a strap. I own the Speedy 30 and would love a crossbody on the lighter days. For now I carry my LV Zippy wallet as a clutch when I don't want to carry my Speedy. I was thinking of buying the classic crossbody Gucci again. I owned it when I was a teen, but I didn't appreciate luxury pieces as a teen. I think I sold it. Thanks for this video. I love these videos.
My hard working money goes to authentic, real brands. I'll never be able to afford a Birkin or Chanel and will be completely fine without those brands.
You don’t have to be rich to buy *esluxs* But their quality isn’t what it used to be. So sometimes it’s not always worth it to me. You can find other luxury or mid-range brands that are just as nice in design and quality. But you should never go into debt trying to buy luxury goods.
The quality of designer goods has gone down that they are equal to fake bags
At the same time the designer bags quality has gone down drastically though it carries a hefty price tag. May be they should treat their customers well as humans and also up their game by manufacturing a quality product.
Having to put your name on a waiting list to buy a $10,000 bag and not even being able to choose the colour? Make it make sense.
I’m not going to be working so many hours and hours to go out and put the Money I traded my TIME for into the pockets of people who don’t even know I exist and would care less if they did. Designer brands are OVERRATED!
Hi Thanks for sharing. I just bought the *esluxscom* 2 days ago which was on my wish list for my occasion bag, is it worth buying this? The félicie pochette is really nice and classy and you can use it in 4 different ways, so the CA showed me the félicie from the drawer and I checked on it then I asked the CA if he can get another stock so I can compare the one he pulled from the drawer so he did. I noticed that the félicie from the drawer the leather was a bit shiny or glossy while the stock he got the leather was matt so I choose the shiny one that attracted me but I just wondered why they are different and you might have any idea. When I got home I just noticed that when you opened the envelop the back mid fold leather was a little loose is it normal when openning but when its closed its ok no problem (I didn’t noticed in the store and compare to the other one). Any advise will appreciate, I do always love watching your videos.
That’s scary because I buy luxury bags off Poshmark. They are authenticated, but if these bags can fool experts, some savvy people may get away with selling fakes for a high price off poshmark and EBay for example
Depends on the brand I think but newer LV bags have a sensor built into the bag. A friend of mine authenticates on Fashionphile and she says they scan the fibers of the leather and that even 1:1 bags have clear indications they are not authentic that information is proprietary so they don’t leak info to factories in china.
@@xoxolorae yes I just bought a Emilie wallet she told me about the sensor
This just shows that fake and real ones are no difference in terms of material and quality so basically it’s just a waste of money paying so much on a purse… 😅
So we can buy fakes with confidence, the quality and materials are the same, and the price is only 200 US dollars🤩
@@Claricearose got that right!!! People can’t tell anyway so what’s the point in buying too expensive purse and waste money… 😂
Exactly!
If fakes are getting too good, it just tells me the real ones weren’t even worth the money.
I love the designer brands' shapes or prints, however, the materials they use are so low quality it made it easy for the knockoff to thrive in sales versus paying for crappy materials. Designers, step up the quality and maybe you can continue to charge those prices.
Designer bags were never worth that much anyway.
I don’t care what people want to spend their money on… real or fake. That’s a personal choice. But know this…. If you are going to carry a fake and you want to pull it off as real, then carry yourself as someone who could afford the real thing. The easiest way to know a fake is to see the person carrying it. How are they walking, talking, dressed and overall carrying themselves? It may seem harsh, but it’s realty. I work in an industry where I see both the fakes and the real deals and 99.9% of the time I can always tell when a bag is fake and its usually because the person carrying it is being anything but refined or sophisticated. That type of negative behavior brings attention to you and the bag you are carrying, making people who would otherwise dismiss it as real question it now. So wear your fake or real bag with class and no one will ever know or care!
I agree... the only issue I have is selling a fake one for a real one. Other than that... wear your real or knock off with honesty and pride!
I see this a lot in the California burbs. The sloppy dresser wearing a designer bag. Whether their bag is fake or real it cheapens the brand they are wearing. It makes me not want to buy that bag because I do not equate sloppy with luxury. I will look more closely next time to see if I can identify if their luxury bag is a fake. I do not buy fakes of sort. To each his own, I guess.
Is not that serious.
Well said,thank you!!
Idk, I think it’s a weird act in general to “look rich”. People should buy things that they like and can comfortably afford. I don’t dress fancy at all. Usually just all black outfits but they can range from fitted joggers and hoodies to dresses and I’ll still rock my designer bags how I see fit. I think it’s tacky to buy designer just to show status. Some of the most graceful and polished people I know are middle class and don’t wear a lick of designer. I buy a Louis bag because I like it not because I’m trying to prove I’m rich.
Sadly, in Italy, there are many Chinese factories using Chinese workers to make poor quality "MADE IN ITALY" items which are sent overseas to unsuspecting consumers who think they are buying Italian quality. Now getting back to the subject at hand, some of the replica designer bags made in Mainland China are better quality than the already overpriced originals. Fashion Houses are targeting the Middle Class - the Upper Class wouldn't be caught dead wearing their brand unless they are being paid huge amounts of money to promote that particular label.
IDGAF if it's fake or not, as long as something looks the same, does what I want, and is a 💩 ton cheaper......I'm getting the knockoffs of whatever 🙄
Designer bags, clothing, or whatever else is a complete waste of money the rich just get to blow the $$$ on 😑
Trash mindset
Honestly , people are foolish to pay 1000£ for bags that cost 100£ to make.
You also have to blame these luxury brands who have sent their handbags to be made in Chinese or even fixed on china then expected it’s customers to pay full price.
The lack of high end materials allow replicas to be more accurate, brand want to change for label, not because of quality. Good for the fake ones 🎉😂❤
I use to go to partys that sold fake purses for pennies on the dollar back in the. 70's they looked so real. Paying 5 to $10,000 for a purse is insane since woman don't use the same purse more then 2 times a month.
I never understood why buy a designer bag like Prada or Louie Vuitton? Spending that kind of money is wasteful. It doesn't mean your rich, unless your actually rich.
I got a *esluxs* ,Korean made, Jimmy Choo. It is 20 years old and still looks great.
There is a documentary about YSL shoes and how the workers from the town in Italy are complaining about this companies bringing chinese to work at the factories in Italy and pay them nothing compare to what they have to pay Italians. The chinese live right there in the factory so the final value of the pair of ysl shoes is like twelve dollars and they sell them for 900.
All these luxury designers please stop charging those prices and share your wealth, I stopped caring if it is fake or real, I am not paying it
It’s truly unreal…the AAA “replicas” are unbelievable
How do you find sellers?
The quality of real designer bags aren’t great either. Probably they are produced in similar places…
Some are better made than the originals
Where do I buy them
the main reason why people are thinking/buying fake is bc the actually brands are having low quality!!
I don’t care if it’s real or fake… they are both real. One is made by a famous company and you pay thousands of pounds… the “fake” one is cheaper. So what? There shouldn’t be a real and fake one in the first place. No one should care if something is real or not. If it matters to you, then do you, but if you buy a real one just to be sure that people can know, I feel there is a problem there all by itself. Do things for you, who cares what people think.
It’s become ridiculous the prices are higher and higher so yes sorry it’s time to call out these brands
I rather have. A 40 dollar fake bag. To carry 40 grand in my fake bag. I have Bags like these and I’m soooo impressed by the craftsmanship
Bags are bags… i used to think its glamorous to own expensive things but nah its pointless
I meannnn... I love a good dupe! Especially since I can't afford the designer version. If I'm getting a dupe, it's because I really like the style or silhouette, not because of the name attached... so why not?
Tbh no one cares anymore! The fact that these high end fashion houses can’t repair bags they made to easily break! No! This is karma! Fix our bags! I paid so much for Coach and Gucci and the repair process is like pulling teeth!
Those Chanel bags are crazy and the people making them are crazy
The reality is the real bad also used cheap leather so you’re better off getting the fake one for a third of the price anyways
Wow so I actually bought the real bags, so people would probably think they’re fake
I would never buy a real Chanel bag. The quality is terrible. You get a better quality Chanel buying a good fake than an actual Chanel bag.
Even with these problem LVMH is the richest fashion company in the world.
It's hard not to be when you're raising your prices 2-3 times a year on already overpriced merchandise 🙄
If you care about the price tag you aren’t rich enough.
A smart person would never buy luxury bags. Rich-wannabe people will buy luxury bags as what they see on celebrities not realizing that the luxury brands give it to celebrities for free for the sake of endorsement and marketing 😅
I have both auth and fake and you will never know which is whiiiichhhh 😇
Such GREAT comparisons! Allllll soooo lovely! Especially the LYXBAG tote. Their styles are so chic, sleek, elegant and understated!
Everyone keeps saying they should lower the price. But the point of them are “exclusivity”. They are not made for the average person to wear, hence the price.
@Raven Knoxx I know someone who worked for GUCCI. If high end fashion houses could control who buys/wears their products, they would. They feel that certain types of people devalue their products.
I feel like LV does that on purpose, specifically to make the brand exclusive. People have said that vintage LV is better, others saying that the quality is in the leather and not the coated canvas. I’ve search for vintage LV and their pieces do NOT hold up after time. Even when well taken care of. I feel like LV is made for people that can afford to keep repurchasing items willy-nilly. They are pricing people out.
Exactly, you don’t buy a 3000$ baseball cap because is better you buy it because only a handful of people can buy it, but because the market for ultra rich people is so small lvmh and Richmond opened the gates to middle to upper middle class because is a bigger demographic.
It’s not fake … u can tell copy bag… leather and designs are same… it’s not fake leather.
So actually that bag is around 100-200$ but they sell it 10k lol
So it’s right to buy less price…
It’s not fake
This is why I love hand made bags from cloth, I don’t need to carry someone else’s name on my things.
Why are not branded bags coming with stitched QR code on bags, this could solve the problem.
Also these brands have increased costs and lowered quality
It's a reflection on you when you're rocking fakes.
Imagine thinking all you had to do to identify a fake was look at the stitching and smell the bag. 🙄
It ain't that serious, Cheryl 😂
What the smell too?
Same thing in the watch world right now. Some of the super fakes are so good, even a reputable watch dealer could be burned if not careful.
I'd rather buy real leather or real whatever then to spend thousands of dollars on designer brands THEY'RE greedy
To think, if some of the luxury corporations actually paid a fair amount of taxes, perhaps more agents could be hired.
You mean bribes or donations to politicians campaigns? 😆
Or rather the quality of the REAL bags have gotten so low that the fakes can actually pass off as real. I have a few auth chanels but i buy the super fakes in the same exact colors so i can wear them without guilt
