A lot of knock-offs of those billion dollar companies’ products are made in the same factories in China as the name-brands. Furthermore, a majority of the knock-off manufacturers buy their leather from the same Italian factories.

As a child my father would compensate for this whenever he purchased a new belt for my brother and I. Long before he would ever allow us to get our hands on the belts he would thoroughly rub it down with a mineral oil and then lay it out on a table for a few days to set in and dry. It made the leather more supple and much less likely to dry out and start cracking anytime soon.

The belts are already piled before you purchased it, it’s also has a varnish on it to help make the leather last longer, especially if the leather is colored

@DaisyAppleJuice This was the 70's that I'm remembering and I'm not sure where he was purchasing them from but from what I remember, it was effective for making them last a long time. That was a common goal at all times with the budget being rather short.

Nowadays people are buying brand signs rather than bags or clothes

When I explain between different grain of leather for furnitures, they’re mostly surprised to know genuine is not the best grain but the lowest quality!

I've known this for years. I have never, nor will I ever waste money on the "luxury" brands. They're overpriced, and made poorly. You're absolutely right to buy these items

100% recycled at H&M means the tag on the clothes is made out of 100% recycled materials, not the clothes themselves

Plus i heard in school they would do bad things to the animals I think unalive them bad so the fur doesn’t get destroyed or I don’t remember the exact words bc It doesn’t make sense with the images I saw/ video I saw how they hit baby seals on the head disgustingly coldheartedly- like the argument was to save as much as gut as possible but how if they kill them by hitting them on their head…. But if i didn’t see the documentary with my own eyes I wouldn’t know. And those animals are tiny in comparison to human - so maybe 10-50 or even 100 baby seals must die so one jacket could be made…killing baby’s… But leather- like human eat sheep and cows so using their wool (is the less hurtful bc to much wool is bad for them) But yeah leather is death but the animal is being used even the ears and bones for dog food etc. I also heard that they ripp the feathers out from living animals (ducks) for our jackets and pillow etc…. Human are so disgusting for nothing at the end… for „looks“ or their own „privilege“ (well-being ) Ethically animals are animals so I don’t wanna argue - just wanted to share my knowledge😅 Ah and like those animals SHOULD be cared and loved for everyday (sounds strange to love and kill a cow to eat and use) but fur animals are mostly still wild animals that are also existentially threatened BECAUSE of humans killing them baby’s for fur….

Leather is a product of beef. The other alternative is just throwing it away.

bro went "oh, btw, here's an *ad,* hope you don't mind 😊

I don't understand why people insist on giving their money to these companies.

Who cares...the brand status will overshadow any of this news...😅

"genuine leather" is made by taking all the "leather fibres" from the scraps and glued onto a fabric. That's why you get a chemical smell from it when it's new.

personally the genuine leather smells nicer than the other two so

Ok the song reference when he said you don't know the difference was soooo good

This is not the main reason people buy these brands.

This is just wrong. The Louis Vuitton bag pictured is made with a material called canvas. It is significantly more durable than leather. The accessories are made with leather yes, but they are in no way cheap pieces of leather. Same with Gucci, who literally started making leather luggage, also uses an extremely high grade leather. Not sure about YSL, but please stop spreading misinformation. Louis Vuitton bags are expensive but they are extremely durable. I have a LV canvas piece that was once my grandma’s who passed to my mum who passed to me and it is still in good condition and I use it everyday with care.

Go see that guy that tears apart luxury brand leather bags and items. He gives genuine reviews and I find his videos to be very informative.

Going to start looking for full grain going forward

A lot of fast food companies do a very similar thing when it comes to burgers where they’ll advertise that they’re made with grade A beef, but grade A is actually the lowest grade of beef

If you want quality then order hand made with true craftsmen. You can personalise everything from buckles, colour, design...and you are supporting people who are keeping old crafts on life support

FR ppl are just paying for the brand

rose anvil is an awesome channel. he covers all leather stuff, primary boots and sneakers tho

They're paying for the brand name. Nobody cares.

Fun fact, a counterfeit shop in shenzhen got sued by Hermes before they found out that the counterfeits had better quality then the real ones

fun fact: the label “made in…” referred to the country that placed the label, not where it’s assembled

Great advertising holy shit, thank you for teaching me

That's exactly what I am saying. Luxury brands have the craziest margins imaginable. Their material cost is virtually the same as any other brand or no-name product. It's just at that point where they slap their logo on it, when this stuff gets so outrageously expensive. Why buy dress shoes from Gucci for $800 that don't really fit that well when you can get custom made ones with exceptional quality for half that?

Really love you calling out my boy MorrisonMade been watching his shit since I started watching you

I really like the KKUWAN pack. Brought it to America and loved everything about it. Good quality and low price.

On the one hand: local, high-quality, top full grain leather. On the other: an alligator cozy.

Bro this so good I can't tell of its an ad or not

These brands are now sending the authorities after him for telling Us about this

Brooooo good looking out! We need to dismantle the hold premium brands have on us

I always interpreted genuine as just not plastic although I never knew about the leather gradings.

As the quality declines in some of these brand's products, inferior quality is easily detectable by the naked eye for those who know quality. And they're raising their already astronomical prices. Will wealthy elites who can actually afford these brands continue to purchase?

I have this old coach wallet made from water Buffalo leather. The wallets over 20 years old I've carried it on my pocket everyday on construction sites and while paving roads it still looks and feels great. Last winter I went to the coach store to get a new one to treat my self. They don't make it anymore just one covered in there dumb logo

When you buy from brands like this, you're breaking your bank for he brand, not for the product. It could be a garbage bag but because it's covered in logos, people will buy just to have the thrill to buy it. They are actually made at the same price range as really cheap brands before the logos are put on. That's why I love local craftsmen, you're actually paying to have a good product. Better material and much prettier designs.

People who buy these brands dont care about the leather, its the brand name embellished in gold that matters to them.

And that is why they are billion dollar company

They do this in Venice, Italy but just the little tag itself is genuine leather and the rest is faux leather.

Very often people go for big brands stuff because it's just that, they want the status that comes with that item bought!

They were already tricking you by selling you a 1000 dollar hand bag or sweatshirt

If I bring my own alligator can I get it for free?

Either way the margins will always be high despite the materials

and then there's me who's scared to use leather because of the ghosts of those dead animals 🙂

My faux Lacoste leather wallet lasted longer than a real Lacoste wallet (been using it for 14 years) probably because the fake one is made of real high quality leather

Buying in Botw/totk be like

My grandpa makes wallets as a hobby and he made me one with shark skin which is bulletproof (I think) and it looks super cool

With all the smash and grab, it’s cheapened luxury brands.

You look like Steven Gerrard

They scam fools, good to know 😂

I actually dislike the texture of full grain. How lucky am I to like cheaper material?!😂😂😂😂 But in general I dislike leather. Also... those high-end brands are more often than not, ugly. I can notice very clearly the difference in quality in their clothing (they ARE high quality indeed), but the accessories are usually ugly to me, regardless of quality.

Some high end jewelry brands have beauty jewelry. In India the inclination is not that much towards diamond maybe that's why I find those beautiful but yeah if we overall see as jewelry then you will always find better and more unique jewelry in jeweller shops, they can make whatever you demand. If we are going for gold and gemstones and work then there are such beautiful jewelleries here that I at least don't see on websites of the mostly popular brands. There are few like Amrapali who is good

“But in reality, it just means the leather won’t lie to you”

That's not true my boy. It's still a leather which isn't topped with a big layer of polyurethane or paint, you can litterally see the texture of the skin. It might not be the thickest leather but its real and it's more than ok for items like bags. It's not meant for heavy working conditions no shit

i never read the labels XD

People don’t buy it bc they think it’s high grade leather they simply buy it for the logo.

This is why I've always said if i had the money, I'd pay for an artisan to make a bag for me. I love the classic shape of a Hermes birkin or Kelly, but the price is a rip off.

These "high-end" brands are more status symbols than anything. Local shops have better quality at cheaper prices. You are paying for the logo. Not quality with these big brands.

You act like they use VERY bad materials but that's not true 💀 Sure, it's not the best of the best leather most of the time but guess what, it's not made for harsh working conditions, it doesn't need a thick grain layer to make it heat and abrassion resistant. It's a handbag and it's meant to be careful with. It's not fake leather, it's not topped with a big layer of polyurethane, it's just fine
