Same here. Worked for a while highend and especially the world famous brands aren't very high end. Bad stitching, cheaper fabric or often just plastic. You pay for the logo and a lot get limited editions in the first place because their value will be going up evtl, so it is more like an investment. But there is some amazing brands around which are still more highend or boutique but mostly not as known. So, if you spend 300 or 20$ on a tshirt, it often is actually the same. But inbetween the 50-150 zone there is some amazing fairtrade and longlasting quality around. One of the main things i learned is that fabrics really matter and that the highend shopper often behaves like the normal shopaholic, buys and never wears it, to bring it to the opshop in the end. Get yourself an nice used cashmere on ebay girls for a 10th of the price, but dont get any mites, they'll eat everything else in there as well. Also, buying secondhand means you dont give any money to companies you find immoral.

Spending more and buying like a full grain leather case from a local leatherworker will make a HUGE difference in quality, and will literally last multiple lifetimes if its looked after. But spending more and buying a fashion brand won't. LV and Gucci use really bad quality leather, and most of their "leather" bags are like 75% canvas.

This video makes me think of my college years. When I was a University student I used underlying colour codes for different concepts and categories. I bought a new colour pencil for every book I studied. The more I studied, the more I added variety in the underlying shades, the more sofisticated the code became. When I graduated I found myself with a shoebox full of colour pencils, most of which had their own unique colour shade. I still keep these pencils as a memory of my hard study and my college years...

These look a lot like the $1000 Louis Vuitton colored pencils that Rae reviewed in the past! And I was so shocked at the quality of these pencils! I'm pretty sure $790 was for the case and the remaining $10 was spent on the actual product!

One thing I learned about " high end" products is that the majority of the price is the name. They most likely made and sold $20-$40 of pencils but because of the name and branding they act like it's "high end" and put the price up there. It's so stupid and people buy into it so much thinking that they can be better just because they have this stuff (most influencers now a days).

I've never wanted anything Gucci that uses their most Iconic designs. I also have never understood wanting things just because they cost a lot of money. Have I wanted designer things in the past? Yeah sure. But I wanted them because I liked them, not because they were expensive. To be honest when I find out they're expensive I want them less than when they're cheaper.

It’s famous for what, one or two designs maybe? I feel like it’s the very idea of “high end brand names” that stifles creativity in the fashion industry. When you have the fame of Gucci or Louis Vuitton, what is there to drive you to actually do something unique? 🤷‍♂️

I do hardwood floors and carpentry as well as art with wood so I can definitely tell that both are made from real wood.

people pay, so why should they Care. The sad Thing is that Most of These Brands are so enviromently- and worker unfriendly xx.

Better help sells your info and in a lot of cases aren’t qualified to actually help people!! Pls look at the controversy as a lot of you tubers are boycotting their sponsors because they are unethical!! No hate at all just wanting to protect anyone watching, pls look it up and partner with someone else 😊

She needed any sponsor to help pay for the 800$ pencils. Just don’t use the service.

I'm honestly shocked how bad the quality is. I know gimmicks or extras by luxury brands like Tag Heuer, Rolex etc: when *they* have colored pencils they use premiere manufacturers, even if they brand the pencils with their own logo (sometimes it's an obvious collaboration: bc the name Caran d'Ache stands for luxury itself too). They all let either Faber Castell or Caran d'Ache produce the art materials for these special editions! I thought for sure that Gucci, LV etc would do so too. I mean, if you're a high fashion luxury brand making gimmicks to accompany/side-sell with your actual products, you *want* the absolute best, reinforcing your commitment to maximum luxury for your spoiled customers, shouldn't you?! Luxury inevitably means high quality - that and the cost for artisan craft made by experts as well as the over the top presentation make it luxurious in the first place. Otherwise it's just trash with good advertising, creating a short-lived hype.

Ik this is an old video, but im in the process of watching all of your videos, and I just want to say, you have been such a huge inspiration to me! Because of you I have finished a whole sketchbook. My dream is to do what you do now! So thank you, for giving me the inspiration

I don't know why people expect quality art materials from a FASHION brand. Even in their description they talk more about the case than about the pencils, that says more than i need to know lol

We're expecting good quality because- you're selling colored pencils, and it's $800. I don't care about the case, the pencils WILL need to be better than Crayola and Prismacolor.

When you buy something for the cost of 800$ (no matter what it is) you expect it to be top notch, or MONEY-WORHTY. Yes, these fashion brands stick to luxury clothes etc, but when you ADD a non-clothing item to your BRAND, you expect them to collaborate with top notch brands that sell THOSE types of products. What Gucci and LV did was, they took the easy way out to make MONEY and lose less. Basically stealing peoples money.

remember you’re not paying for the pencils, you’re paying for the case!

It’s terrible really when a luxury brand cuts corners like that..After all it’s an awful lot of money just for a pencil case .I had my Faber Castell Durer set for about £130 a few yrs ago for 120 pencils and they are rich and creamy .So I cannot see how they can justify cutting corners like that.Pretty sad really ..Thanks for the review 🥰

"Luxury colored pencils" is a hilarious concept in itself. And like you said, this is the only time gucci's going to make colored pencils, so what are the odds they're going to get it right? They have to partner with a manufacturer (or just re-private label the same ones as louis vuitton), but they're not going to bother researching what actually makes a good pencil for artists because artists aren't the demo. Label-ho dilettantes are.

I've used Prismacolor pencils and thought they were good. With the Gucci, I figured you'd be paying for the name, this video proved that. $800 is an outrageous price to pay for coloring pencils, when the cheaper brand works just as well, if not better. Thanks for posting this! By the way, you're very talented!

They reminded me of the Faber-Castell watercolor pencils (Eco line), or, at best, the Swiss, by Caran D'Ache!

This was so informative. I had no idea there were so many factors that make a good colored pencil.

If you're in the UK, you can buy Staedtler colouring pencils, like a whole box of them for £12-£20, and they're brilliant! Gucci branded anything is mostly just a status symbol, which is like "look at how rich I am".

Thanks for the demo (and huge dent in the bank account) and showing the true colors (hah) of the designer name lunacy. The Gucci and Vuitton companies have been laughing all the way to the bank for decades. No shortage of insecure folks out there that need to 'prove' how important they are by buying into the designer name hype.

3:51 because you’re paying for the pouch containing them, the monogram, the brand and the experience. I don’t mind designer brands as long as there’s a *uniqueness* to them, like handmade gowns and sartorial expertise but Maisons like LV, Chanel, Gucci and Fendi (I’m Italian and I’ve been working in retail for 15+ years so it saddens me to say this) rely SO GODDAMN much on the logo/monogram being fucking everywhere. I don’t understand the marketing reasoning behind this type of item, most artists can’t afford paying 800$ for mediocre pencils so who are they catering to, bored millionaires who enjoy sketching every now and then (I’m not saying millionaires can’t be interested in arts but)-? 800$ for compressed wood pencils…?

The shape of the pencils, plus the range of colours, looks suspiciously like the Caran D'Ache Swisscolour 40 pencil set (retailing in the UK for £31-37 as of July 2020)

Iv gotta say when it comes to high quality but still rather pricey artist pencils the Derwent ranges are actually amazing and so satisfying to create art with although I have only tried the coloursoft line as they are still pretty pricey.

FYI Better Help is a scam and KZreadrs can collect up to $200 per person that signs up. They don't even verify the therapists

Wouldn't be plugging this better help sponsorship to be honest, they've been super sketchy in the past and now the fact that they "collabed" with Travis Scott after a bunch of people were killed?
