i love how it looks like the sewing machine is taking little steps
Funny enough,, that little thing is called a "feet"

This feels like that one scene on Toy Story 2
😂
OH BOY that scene was SATIS-FYING!
This comment is in EVERY single one of these restoration videos.
@@Jemppu Lol. I wasn't aware
Which scene?
People in the comments are clowning this but I think its really beautiful. The person who asked for this repair probably places a lot of value in that wallet because of something special or at least they just aren't those types who buy expensive things only to never use them. I think it's really great they're investing into something so many of us would quickly throw away.
It’s not about the act of restoring it, that’s well and fine, but it’s the fact they paid so much for a glorified piece of $20 canvas that they then feel a need to restore it as it was $800. It goes to show how overhyped the supposed quality is, for this price it shouldn’t even degrade like a cheaper wallet for it to be the “investment” people claim it to be - where it will last a lifetime. The labour to restore a $50 wallet made from $20 worth of canvas seems not worth it but a $800 wallet made from $20 worth of canvas - it’s fine.
@@User-cb4jm It’s stated in the video that the wallet is leather, thus worth the repair.
I would hope the owner values it, it cost 800 bucks
@@pmm4177 anything that cost 800 bucks should be taken care of 😂. I even moisturized my 50 bucks Nomad wallet since it’s the most expensive wallet I ever had
Louis back then was a lot better than the quality it is today.
Everything including designers products are falling into the category of “fast fashion.”
If I had a vintage wallet that needed repair, I would very much do so instead of purchasing a new wallet (whether regular or name brand).
It is about the quality, just like a car.
You can have a 1998 Honda civic that’ll work better than a 2022 Mercedes Benz, because it was taken care of.
It’s how you take care of your things with value, especially if the quality and craftsmanship is there.
I bought my first Louis wallet in 2012 and kid you not, has outlasted my wallets I’ve purchased of poor quality. I wasted money replacing wallets that I couldn’t repair, and it just gets thrown out.
My wallet is no longer available because a new model has replaced it, and I don’t like it at all.
So if I wanna put in money to restore a wallet that has lasted me more than 10 years, I’ll do it.
The price of this wallet is a lot more than how much I would put in it.
credit and debit cards exist i mean surely u have more than 800 dollars in money bank or pocket or in the form of assets
@@TheBadBanana156 but again I'm a student so yeah I actually don't have it
My 10 dollar wallet looks a lot nicer and I don't ever have to take it to get professionally repaired. Buying experience things that degrade/depreciate is dumb.
@@TheBadBanana156 you offering handouts? Working poor is an ever growing demographic.
Rather 800 in a 10 wallet than 10 dollar in a 800 dollar wallet
Watching people do task always gives me ASMR
I see you in chess videos too! Hope you come back
Fr!
This reads like an ai generated comment
Yeah me too
I like other people do task also 🙃
Was that wallet, like, 50 years old? 'Cause for $800 and for it to be in THAT state, it better be 50 years old. 🤷🏻♀️
Especially because of all the colour rubing off. Like, couldn't they afford to buy coloured leather for that price?
I have an LV wallet and the quality is surprisingly poor...
You will be suprised to find out how low the quality of some luxury brand is.
Meanwhile my dad gave me his leather wallet and i still use it. That wallet is 30 years old now. Its in semi good condition
@@Gabriel-of-RUclips - You’re mostly paying for the designer name, you can find items using really high quality materials for a fraction of the price compared to these high end brands
This reminds me of the Ship of Theseus. Eventually one by one different parts of the wallet will be replaced, but is it still considered the same wallet after all parts have been replaced?
What's funny is that our body's are the same with our cells. Every 7 to 10 years all our cells are replaced in your body
@@Flowku 😳
kay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the HIDUPZ book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations
So satisfying to watch! Absolutely amazing, loved it.
So impressive! They did a terrific job!
The “leather” part is not even leather. It’s coated canvas.
Ooh that's interesting, is that true? Damn.
Yep. It’s basically canvas coated in PVC. Lots of videos and articles out there talking about this
@@cakelab7447 yes, the monogram from lv is a cotton canvas coated in pvc
That's what's so fucked up about these self-called luxury company. They are not for the wealthy but for the stupid and dumb
Yup. The only way they can charge so much for it, is by the brand name.
After many repairs, at what point does it stop being a LV wallet?
Never; as long as the logo is undisturbed.
Ahh, the Ship of Theseus.
@@dougtube9870 thanks of reminding me of that theory!
@@dougtube9870 what is it? pls tell me!
Louis Vitton to Low Value wallet 😝
My uncle was a representative in Japan for an American Fine Arts Productions company. They fielded the recommendations for restorations of HAUTE COUTURIER items, museum-grade pieces, and family heirlooms. Uncle Will said in all his enormous range of experience, Japanese artisans were without peer; and in cases he was directly responsible for, he always chose Japanese specialists, as he had never had a complaint or return with them. He deeply loved the country and culture, embraced Shinto, and was there when he died at the age of 84.
🥹🙏 I love this so much! 🇯🇵
That was beautiful to watch. Very talented artist 🙌🏽
I don't think the thing is even worth $800 if it looks like that. For the money one could expect higher quality.
yeah it is just for the l and the V on the front and the logo
You can get much better quality for a significantly lower price tag. The problem with luxury brands is that you are paying for the name, not quality... not anymore. Perhaps once upon a time these were high quality items, but no time in my memory.
My mom's use bougt a LV bag and it's still in a great condition
Yes you are right but the LV name itself adds half of the price.
There are a lot of people with small leather businesses who do astounding work - heck, the guy fixing this wallet could probably build you a new one for a fraction of the price of the LV... and personally, I think the logo is ugly.
sooo.satisfying ! I would love to learn how to do this
The wallet looks brand new..!! Thank you for the update, Insider..!!
Absolutely beautiful wallet fantastic job on repairing it look amazing 👍🥰🥰
Wow, really impressive. Thanks Insider for keeping us informed and entertained during quarantine. ✨💜
Where do you live that you’re still in quarantine?! 😮
@@laurac86 In Asia it is still there.
I love these types of videos!!!
Its not even the luxury products. I just like seeing well made items being repaired.
ASMR. This is so satisfying even her voice is relaxing
She sounds like the tik tok voice.
So basically make an entirely new one. Impressive skills though.
They probably charge around $300 which is better than buying a new one I guess
The leather and stainless steel zippers are still LV
no, this was less work than making a new one would be. the main point is that many people get attached to the things they use often, and it can be more enjoyable to make them look good and last longer than to buy new things. it's also more ecologically responsible, particularly if you compare it to fast fashion. that owner is actually kinda getting their money's worth from how much they're using that wallet.
Someone might have given this to them and wants to keep it longer, like a parent.
@@chefmesser420 Better get a new one. Cos it doesn't look ori at all after refurbished.
this is better than buying new wallets or new things every 2 business days, great job. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wallet costs $800
To repair it costs $1000…
Just buy a new one! 😂😂😂
*Pain*
But it’s vintage so it would be worth much more than 800
@@mjalojado2174 but its ugly af
Exactly
The only reason some people may choose to restore 🆚 purchase a new one is because the style may be discontinued. And this wallet may suit their needs better than a modern one. 🤷🏽♀️
I wonder how much he charged for the reconstruction if it’s over 400 they was better off buying a new one
A university friend got me a 500 USD LV wallet as a gift for helping him pass a Law course due to his limited English. I wanted to sell the wallet but I thought it would be nice to have one of these things in my possession. Been 20 years since I got it, and it still looks like new. Never had more than 500 bucks in it though.
this is asmr for me
please more !
When your wallet is more expensive than the cash inside it
that's what credit cards are for
@@Ass_of_Amalek Yeah but the joke would not really make sense if I brought credit cards into it
@@Ass_of_Amalek credit card didn't exist 50 year ago though
To be honest, it's much easier to just buy a new one, or since it's branded it's hard for us to just throw it away. So sometimes we just keep it stored somewhere in our house.
But here's the thing, some people wouldn't understand why it's hard to let go something valuable to us. Especially if it's something given by our loved one who just passed away. Good thing there are amazing people who restore things for us to use it again or for us to have it for safe-keeping.
Sorry for my bad english ^^"
Super satisfying to watch
Incredible craftsmanship by the artisan!
My mom has a red LV wallet. The wallet looks just like new as it was 15 years ago
@N V the wallet in the video is much older than 15yrs. This model stopped producing decades ago.
How does the paint outside stay so perfect and intact? The interior looks so worn
When people put their branded wallet, they would always kept it in a safe place and in this case it’s obviously in a bag or some sort and people tend to leave it there and therefore the outside is safe from the elements and the inside of the bag is secure. But a wallet can be ruined in the interior by money, especially coins or credit cards, the edges could have rubbed or was put in too much for the interior to handle, therefore by time, the interior starting to chip off bit by bit, it has also been said that the owner has been using it a lot so that could also be the cause of it, have their hands rubbing the interior again and again. There could be more causes though... but from my personal experience those are my best guesses
The outside is cotton coated with plastic (monogram canvas) the inside is leather (softer and quicker to show wear)
I love watching restoration videos 🤍🤍🤍
I can really appreciate the time and effort that is put into such and iconic piece. VERY WELL DONE!
the HIDUPZ would be super cute during the fall with a nude or tan or even tonal out fit! i’m thinking a tan wool coat with that bag!!
I love it so much.its so satiafying.
how much will the owner save if he/she chooses to restore the item rather than buying a new one?
For these type of people it was never about the cost, they will spend top dollar just to preserve their most treasured items.
It is like a "why repair a PS1 if you can buy a PS2" thing
Surprisingly interesting video :)
The song in the back is a banger
Very precise.
Wow that's a very good job! If it were my wallet I'd be really happy about it
I watch this repairing video for relaxation.
Probably cheaper just to buy a new one.
No + sentimental value
And soo much waste

My god this is so satisfying to watch.
I like that the owner uses it. Life is too short. Live. Use your things.
That was great!!! I want this person's info..
What continent you work out of?
I've got 1 keyholder, 1 card wallet from Louis Vuitton that need refurbishing.
-Some re-coloring on the inside, new zipper, a bit warped, maybe fixing 2cm of stiching..
Incredible 😍
They used a sewing machine to make the wallet originally. That is why when the thread is pulled it unraveled so easily. Not hand stitched. People pay a lot of money for lack of quality for big name brands.
hi ! what brand of the paint did you used thankyou!
What is this little tool for re-edging and how can I purchase?
What is the product called that is being used for the glazing, please?
what type of paint have you used?
Wallets get restored ? U learn something every day .
This is how I glu my ₹200 wallet.
Kanjoooooos! Just kiddin!
@@easha5706 Jugaad.
I absolutely loved watching this
This feels like the scene from toy story 2 where woody gets restored
I need the name of this song!!
Bach concerto in 5G feat nicki maraji ballucci. U r welcome.
Wallets, purses, bags, packs, back packs, buckets, baskets, barrels, boxes, containers, or and fancy packs need more smooth zippers
It just goes to show that no matter how expensive your possession it, it wont prevent it from wear and tear!
Well one thing that's nice is the owner is spending money on repairing rather than tossing and getting a new one which they most likely are able to do
What type of oil did they use at the end??
This work is so satisfying. Does it pay off?
I wouldn't buy an $800 wallet but I can respect people repairing and restoring something instead of just throwing it away.
Does anyone know what is the name and / or the product code of this LV wallet? I recently bought it (pre loved and in great condition!) but can't find the name of it and it's been discontinued for years by LV !!!
That was oddly satisfying.
How much did it cost to fix it though?
what is that paint used in edges
wich paint do you use_
Very gratifying
I want to do this. How do you do break into this
What's the difference between fixing this Lv wallet vs fixing apple iphone with 3rd party parts?
Ur 800$ wallet has been repaired
Customer: how much did it cost?
800$
More please,...so many pre-owned & much loved LV's out there that need a face-lift. 😉🥰 Thanks so much for posting! PS. I really disdain Vuittonite!
How much did the restoration cost?
how much does it cost for this repair?
uhh i got mine from the Lv store but it says made in france and stitching is lowkey off
Each stitch goes into the exact same hole? I don’t think so for this video.
Whats the cost to do this? Im curious
Love the Skyrim music in the back.
What about the zipper? In the beginning it is peeling, and in the end, when you watch both wallets side by side, it is brand new?
@Chris Sain Channel - Bro stop spamming the comments it’s annoying. Reported
how much does this cost versus buying a new one🤔
Do anyone have an idea of how much this would cost to do ?
Ty ❤️♥️
the price of the actual wallet itself its for people who have an emotional journey with the wallet
@@gurdipsidhu5984 - Or if it’s vintage or limited edition item that they can’t replace
I think the natural wear and tear adds more character to the wallet than it just simply looking like its new
Reminds me of the satisfying scene from Toy Story 2
What the name that tools pain? Any one know that?
I have a wallet of the same style, the damage is the same, it has been used for more than ten or twenty years
Perfection.
How much repairing cost ?
I don’t understand replacing the leather lining with nylon. Seems unusual.
Anyone know what color and brant of paint was used for the inside of this wallet ?
So what is the cost of the repair?
With high end bags, you have to condition it. And like with any other bags, after a decade of use it’s obviously going to become like this. High quality does not mean durable. Lamb skin is high quality leather but it can get scratched easily.
The close up shots of the sewing machine looks like two feet crisscrossed and dancing haha
I’m always curious to know how much it’s to restore the item in question
Me too!! Like would it be worth it to just buy a new wallet? The amount of time and skill that goes into restoring it probably isn’t cheap! I’d say for some thing like vintage or limited edition items it’s worth it no matter what because you can’t replace it
@@laurac86 That sewing machine itself is vintage.
Wow that's a durable exterior
What company did this? I have one that needs this badly!!
You should add ASMR to the title so more people can watch this I enjoyed everything about it
Wow, that LV wallet looked raggedy, but that artist made it look so brand new afterwards!
It reminded me from the scene in Toy Story when Woody was getting repaired lol.
