I love how honest you are about everything. when someone is carrying a *esluxy* and you pass them on the street no one can tell whether is fake or real one because you cannot do this much analysis on it. what I hate about LV and why I stopped buying them is that many people assume your bag is fake when they pass you on the street. It's very annoying. one time a woman walked up to me and actually asked me if my bag was "real". after spending almost 2K on a bag and being asked that question was so offensive i stopped carrying them. People look more at the person carrying the bag and assume wrongly whether is real or fake. it is extremely annoying

My Chanel SA told me they are raising prices to discourage reselling. Prices in the UK have increased by 64%, which is crazy to me and I will not be buying any bags from them anytime soon. I feel their prices are too high right now and I have been buying Chanel recently at *esluxy* .

I worked for 4 years in Prada, 3 months in Dior and mixed branded shops. I agree with the information provided in this video that most of the time ridiculous prices don't represent the quality at all. They teach employees to sell the image and say we are selling emotions rather than product itself. It is just brainwashing.

I'm not a designer consumer, however, I did buy a pair of PRADA Downtown sneakers that were originally $1070 and bought them on sale for $642 at Nordstrom. I do own a few designer sneakers all purchased on sale. The reason why I bought them, is because they looked well made compared to Nike Jordan's. The PRADA Downtown sneaker is PRADA"S version of the Nike Jordan's. It's made of leather compared to synthetic and as mentioned looked like they were higher in quality. Would you say for $642 that they still aren't worth the price? I wanted a dressy pair of sneakers to wear out at night over gym sneakers was my reason to buy them, not to show off the brand and logo ,which honestly, I can do without.

I think same applies to Gucci, Chanel, Louis Vuitton and every luxury brand, we are just paying for the brand not the actual product itself.

YES and we are seeing it.

I watched a documentary from 10 years ago where Kering was exposed for outsourcing manufacturing to contractors that employe exploited chinese migrant workers. Because Kering and other luxury brands want to maintain their Made in Italy status, but want to keep their high profit margins. What they could do is simply open factories in China, but that would mean having to label their products as Made in China. So that's when the contractors come in, instead of making products in China, they bring chinese workers to Italy. These migrant workers have to live in the factory compound in squalor and are paid very little in the sweatshops. If you buy replica bags from China, don't feel guilty, those bags are probably more ethically manufactured than the authentic bags.

There’s a special dignity in wearing unbranded high quality items, instead of embarassing obnoxious logos of other people’s names as unpaid advertisement. The real luxury is in bespoke items! Unique, one of a kind models. There are similar unbranded designer inspired ones sold online for far less, with their own twist in design. Just make sure you test for lead content in the paint, varnish, and hardware…

Don't be shocked but people buying these products most likely are aware and don't care. As the video notes at the end, they quite literally choose to pay for the experience of the "fancy stores". This is even more so today than ever before as a safe, inviting shopping experience becomes harder to find. Also, the second-hand market for luxury goods is thriving, so selling is always an option.

They have utmost made their brand similar to diamond. A stamp could be made those below standard products expensive. Since those products are european...rich buy them rigoursly. Even in china, korea....those have penterated and disturbed the society..

It is in stark contrast to what these luxury brands would have us believe of an Italian leather artisan working on these handbags one at a time in a workshop.

I have two pre-loved *gtdupe* that people left the stickers on, and when you remove them, the hardware looks different than the hardware right next to it that the sticker didn’t touch. It’s not because the other has scratches, the sticky stuff affected the finish.

There are a couple of Lipsticks and Nailpolish manufacturers in India who sell these for about Rs.10 each and are exported where labelling is done and are sold for Rs 500 each with so-called leading brands. This is prevalent in all products companies to keep prices astronomically high. This applies to all categories of products.

I wonder how much money did Floyd mayweather waste on fake handbags🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️😂😂😂😂

My mom bought one kislux and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.

Handbags are not the only items for whose brand people pay more. The Swiss consumer test examined "no-name" and branded items for sportswear and could not find any difference, as they mostly came from the same production. At least handbags such as Louis Vuitton or Kelly Bags are more of an investment asset, their value increases immensely. Where there was little interest, people invested in handbags if they could afford them.

Companies only get investigated for profiteering when consumers complain. Alas, it's not just the price of producing the goods that is factored in. The companies can point to the millions they spend on marketing, salaries, brand ambassadors, and physical stores as legitimate operating costs. That's why some brands can fail. They, too, are chasing the dragon. It's a vicious cycle driven by exploiting people's needs.
