this is the cope people tell themselves after going on about ultra expensive bags being so high quality it will last a lifetime - yet this is the state from regular use. that money could have saved someone's life. someone paying that much for a bag will almost guaranteed have got it from exploitation of other people's wages. it's not their own "self-made" money, not in a world economy. just wage theft, spent on a bag that looks an awful state after only 8 years. I'm sure the people they have making those bags are being exploited wage wise too, and the people selling the leather for the bags. I get paying maybe up to 5k for a bag (that is still something I would never pay), but that much is just sick no matter how someone tries to justify it. because they have that amount of extra money to spend on a bag not higher quality than a 5k one, yet they're choosing to waste it on that instead of giving it back to a society that is suffering in poverty. they can do that, fine. but you can't expect most people in the world to judge them harshly for it.

I can appreciate that it’s a well used bag. In many ways some one who uses their things and isn’t over purchasing is nice. It’s also nice the owner loved the bag so much not to buy a new one but to fix it up. I don’t think the owner is looking to resell the bag, so I think it’s pretty great. Meanwhile there’s a lot of people who buy bags to hoard to sell for profit later.. I understand that as well. One of a kind with a one of a kind owner. It’s great.

This is the best of the bag restorations I just watched today. If a part is badly damaged, replacing it with an equal part is just as good, if not better, than painting over and filling in the damage. I think it's magical that a bag can eventually, after decades of use and refurbish, have 100% new parts and still be the same bag because of the quality and attention to detail of the restoration.

That blue from the bag just hits different!

He did one of the best bag restorations I've seen too. And I've watched dozens of videos on leather restoration. It was clever how he made sure the paint "faded" in some areas so it doesn't look odd. It would be a strange sight to see a bag with worn handles when the rest looks like new. Now I understand why some car paint shops have long talks with the owner and try to talk them OUT of doing a bumper-to-bumper paint job. They sand off and repaint the most damaged areas and only touch up some smaller, less noticeable parts because it will make the car look odd in some spots. Still, doing a paint job on a vintage car is not cheap. It can start at $10,000 and easily go farrrr beyond $25,000! Saw an auto detailer get his classic Porsche repainted and he got a bill for almost $20,000!

I honestly thought it was overpriced but she really wanted it so I got it. She watched the crap out of that damn movie and loved it so much, watched it more than once a day for months. I guess my point is that the value of the thing depends on who its for, and whether or not they can afford it.

I would at least expect the bag to hold up a bit better after just 8 years (or less). I know that the price is mostly an exclusivity thing, but to me it looks like they could certainly have done a bit of a better job when selling a luxury item like that. With a Ferrari you also know that the price isn't just the value of its parts, I doubt that a customer would accept it if it wore like this bag (maybe no the best example, since race cars do wear very quickly if you actually race with then, which is just indicative of race cars in general). Either way, I'm more shocked by the bad (material) state of this bag, rather than its price.

I suppose a handbag is different being it’s functional, baumgartner is simply repairing an object that will hang on a wall and will only go through wear and tear by accidents. Bags are like shoes in that they are constantly in use, and it’s expected that they will deteriorate. In the same way a cobbler replaces and reforms aspects of shoes, replacing the sole for instance, the replacement of the lining is expected to allow the bag to be a functional piece once more. Handbags in gallery’s must stay the same forever as pieces of art, but a handbag for daily life? It’s expected to go through repairs and replacements.

Bag bag bag.!!! Can anyone talk about the soothing *music* they played towards the end.?!

5:50 Even the resolution gone up after restoration

It's insane to me that someone treated a 42k bag so roughly that it ended up looking like that in only 8 years. I've seen plenty of women treat a $100 bag with more respect.

I will never spend $42K on a handbag even if I was a trillionaire.

I would. You'd have so much money where 1 million and 100 are just some small small small change.

@End Censorship! Look, OP was talking about trillions. What are you gonna do with all that money? You can help everyone you want and still have boat loads to spare. Tell me, why can't you help people and still buy a 47K bag. They're not mutually exclusive.

42k on a purse is just ridiculous no matter how much money you have

Where do they find ships with skin?
