I just wanted to share my thoughts on this topic because it’s fascinating how many people still believe that luxury automatically means higher quality. Do you think luxury brands are more about status than quality? Would LOVE to know everyones opinion on this, thanks for watching xx
I also have a NoeNoe in DA, but only use it a few times a year in spring and summer, so I don't put too much wear and tear on it. I hope I won't see wear and tear for a while. Also, I'm saving up for *esluxy* . Has anyone among your colleagues encountered the same problem with this size? I don't mind the shape being a little loose, but I don't want it to become a puddle either. Thanks for the video!
Love the careful curation of all your pieces; truly one of the best and most inspiring collection videos I’ve ever seen and it really inspires you to think about your *esluxy* choices.
Yes, the *esluxy* has beautiful colors, it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag for the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…
Interesting topic....ironically a professor of mine also in the industry has this to say, she has hef 1st LV speedy 25 bag from 1989, phenominal quality and craftsmanship! Her daughter has one from 2018 and it is flimsy, worn and not same quality of materials etc. Professor has vintage Chanel lambskin bag 24k gold still fab, daughter has 2019 card holder falling apart and very worn looking. She gave many other examples and said, check the preloved market on lux items, see when things were made...are companies producing quality today or just fast luxury with exorbitant prices and in the end losing many customers?

@@tlisalisa8926 great comment, thank you for sharing! If I compare my vintage LV bags to the newer ones i can definitely tell a massive difference in quality. I think a lot of luxury companies are more focused on producing a lot of bags quick which shows in the quality.
Add to this when the Chinese bought the brands manufacturing facilities in Milan they cut corners raised the prices & lowered the quality I am not fooled anymore by made in Italy you have to ask yourself made by who 😳
yes we all brain wash my self on this but love coach but do can what RUclipsr say coach is not Luxury but I love it that fashion is something for everyone
Ugh thank you so much for this. Someone tried to drill me because a liked a particular brand that was particularly more exclusive and she went off saying how she only buys luxury because of the quality of materials. People are lying to themselves when they say they buy designer items only because of the “quality”. You can get quality pieces for 10 times less the cost; most people buy because of the brand name (myself included) whether they’re willing to admit it or not and it honestly really bothers me when people put themselves on a pedestal as if they’re above that and are simply buying for “quality”
There is a difference between most of the shops at highland park village, Dallas and Northpark mall, to the rest, but this is where Lauren is Lauren at a Macy’s and Rag and Bone goes on sale at a Nieman’s and if I want more than an H&M it’s Nicole Kwon and Everlane consistently- and Madewell to Max Azaria is by season.
hahahaha cause some of these people r so triggered with luxury bags, shoes and jewelries but they collect makeups, go to marshalls every week plus the disney run 3 to 4 times a month.
The kind of people who buy luxury brand names, buy them for just that.. the brand. Thats what i always thought. That's why they buy them rather then a good quality bag that does not say GUCCI. But thats okay i guess. Everyone has different reasons why they buy things. But if they have the money, and just spend it purely for status, then so be it. Not my business. But i would have to have some crazy $$ for it to not bother me
Yes the color of the kislux is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…
I know when buying a luxury bag, it is the design im after. I make peace with the fact im so rigid that no dupe would be good enough when i got the funds to buy the real deal. But im also being careful and dont buy any more for the time being.
Yes I am the same as well with dupes. I am glad I am not the only oner that feels that way. I would rather buy a piece that has good quality but from a lower brand but has a better quality. To be fair, the quality of a lot of brands has dropped. So even the mid range brands that used to be affordable with good quality are expensive with a less decent quality.
100 agree! I am a Chanel lover still buys from the brand, also love Hermes but don’t go around fooling myself, and lying by saying that I shop for quality in any of these luxury houses. And it really makes me laugh every time I see a RUclipsr saying I can’t pay 10k now for Chanel the quality is not there but Hermes is worth the 10k or even double 😂LOL like what? No brand is perfect, these are not necessities, these are luxury items and personally, I buy them because I love them, enjoy them and are worth for my wardrobe and myself, plain and simple! 😊
I think back in the day the quality argument held more weight. Now? Eh. Except for H which I have no experience with but everyone says they are the best?
I agree to a point. You are forgetting what is the most important thing to me when buying a bag; beauty. I appreciate impressive workmanship and beauty. That may be in an expensive vintage luxury bag or a very affordable contemporary brand bag. I feel that beauty comes first. It may have a top brand name or it may not.
I may not buy it for the quality, but I don't buy it for status either. I have 30+ bags, from contemporary mid range to luxury Chanel. I guess I just get a crush on the bags 😍 that I have to have them 😀😁
I bought luxury bags because I truly love fashion. I have one Chanel bag which up to now I can’t believe I spent that much on. I have never carried it because of the status symbol it is associated with. I will carry it if I live in a country like Japan where luxury is not really coveted and no one cares.
Tanner with Peggy might use good leather, but his design are repeats from brand and simply not original. Destroying bags and saying it cost 100-200 to make does not mean he can do it himself.
In my home country, it's normal to buy fakes from Aliexpress because most people don't care, they want to show off. I buy authentic luxury items because I genuinely love them and love the history of the brand. Not everyone that buys luxury bags or any other item is necessary doing it for the status symbol of it, some people really love the designs and history
Don’t believe entirely in that tanner guy as he is hawking his own “brand”, I have been buying luxury for ages and the luxury leather is better than coach or Kate spade but doesn’t mean it’s worth it! Or value for the exact money you are paying for
When there is a mid or affordable design equal to LV or Loewe leather please share… a higher price tag means longevity. My collection has lasted the true test of time, all of these mid brands are a waste of money within a few short months they loose their shape & show wear: Marc Jacobs, Cuyana, Maison de sabre, etc. 1 LV bag looks brand new after 8yrs of use 😊
Great video 👍👍 Allow me to add another point far from the luxury items like bags shoes clothes If you dive in the watches & gold jewlery arena I used to think gold is gold you buy it market price then if you want to sell it again market price then few years back I found the designer ones like Cartier ,Tiffany , Bulgari, Van Cleef, Chopard etc… when you sell their old pieces are way more expensive then the market price of gold so the return is huge & up to now these are worth buying & investing in. I came to the conclusion luxury bags are not investment any more & yes you are right you buy it for status not quality , luxury “brand” gold/jewlery you buy it for investment

@@maryabdel-malik656 great point thanks for sharing. Totally agree.
If luxury brands actually improve on their quality when they decide to raise prices instead of doing the complete opposite, they would probably see better sales instead of whatever bullshit they are trying to pull to increase profits.
So exhausting you constantly preach about luxury stuff. The majority of people don't have the money to purchase $6,000/designer high end brands. They have a mortgage and kids to feed....

Definitely status!
Status and Name Brand. I’m guilty.. but I have stopped purchasing luxury bags. I have all I’ll ever need.
It used to be, paying 1-2k for quality, not anymore. If I buy it’s gonna be vintage.
I also have a NoeNoe in DA, but only use it a few times a year in spring and summer, so I don't put too much wear and tear on it. I hope I won't see wear and tear for a while.

I kept my older bags because yeah they are very well made, something happened after 2010 where the quality is shite.

The Chanel 24k is gold plated. It is not gold all the way through the metal
@@carrino15 you are absolutely right currently the new bags do not have these 24K gold plated locks
