This is the Lou Camera Bag by Yves Saint Laurent- and I paid $1690 for it, and it is the first luxury leather bag we review from YSL. Overall the construction of this YSL leather bag was not too complex, and the leather choice was decent.
I estimate to make a bag like this would cost about $180 for leather, accessories, and craftsmanship.

There is something about not being able to afford them, and watching you talk about the cheap material that makes everything so satisfying.

And open your eyes about those that go into debt for these items which is merely nothing.

Thanks to you Tanner! You opened my eyes how ridiculous these designer bags are! I had soooo many of them from Gucci to Fendi and Chanel! Since I came across your video I had a totally different outlook when it comes with luxury leather goods! I sold all of them and moved to full grain leather with ZERO brands on them! This is my luxury now. Youve saved me tons of money and more power to your business and channel! Cant wait for more leather educational videos from you!

Honestly, accessories that don’t have a logo stuck on them just look classier too. People who walk around wearing logos are inadvertently paying a company to advertise for them.

@Seraphine07F Год назад

In Paris, these are sold to tourists💡 & to Rodeo Drive/LA/U.S, espc the Hollywood-ites, the Middle EasternMarket, China etc - No Parisian wears these; & "Luxury bags" etc are NOT mass Market, as these are. There are certain brands that Upper Class Parisians buy - hand made, beautiful, v little branding, from leather shops in Paris. These are "Top Shop" for the Nouveau Riche, that have money to waste. They aren't really "Luxury Items" - No geniuine Upper Class person in France or the UK would wear such things, that's for certain - & Parisians just shrug, when they see ppl with such bags - they impress nobody, sorry🙏💜🇬🇧💜

@yasaminwhy8212 Год назад

I have three leather handbags, one from Georgio Armani, one from Radley, and one from a small designer based in Italy (Alinari). The Alinari bag has been thrown around on bumpy car rides and squished on the tube, had drinks and suncream spilled in it, been tugged and dropped, and it is still solid. The Radley bag lasted a year before it was totally misshapen. Disappointing from Radley (and the Radley bag was more expensive!) Edit: lol I brushed the post button. Thank you for going over the bag and the details of it so carefully, and the considered cost breakdown as well- really shows how much that consumer is being ripped off.

@thomasmiskiewicz531 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for your informative videos and for sharing your expertise on leather. While I appreciate your insights, I believe your statements about consumers overpaying due to lower raw material costs in small businesses compared to larger corporations might be misleading for the average person. It's important to consider the comprehensive costs of running a business, especially on a large scale. Although raw materials may be inexpensive, suggesting that paying ten times more constitutes overpaying overlooks some important aspects. For instance, cooking spaghetti at home for $1 doesn't account for the time spent planning, shopping, preparing, cooking, and cleaning. Similarly, many people are willing to pay a premium for convenience or to enjoy life’s pleasures. Designing products, creating experiences, building a brand, marketing, and maintaining elegant stores in prime locations are significant aspects of a large business's expenses. These elements, necessary for sustaining a big international company, justify their higher price points. Comparing such an operation to a small business like yours overlooks the vast differences in scale and operational costs. Your smaller scale allows you to offer your bags at $240-$400 with a substantial margin, catering to those who value a more authentic leather experience. However, it's worth acknowledging that not everyone seeks the same qualities in leather products, with some preferring the appeal of a more refined, albeit possibly lower-quality, product. I don't own any of those bags, I don't work in fashion nor am I associated with any of the brands.

I said to my friend who has that exact bag, I don’t know why people buy bagels with another persons name on it when for that money they could have one made with their own name. She bought it a few years ago and can now sell it for the same price that she bought it which she is thinking of doing. She loves it and it was the most expensive thing she has bought for herself other than a car. She said young people splurge on things like this today instead of jewellery or Nik naks for the house. It’s definitely more practical.

Do you have a video on any of the original canvas leather from LV like anything damier print.. I have an Alma BB in damier ebene and the leather doesn’t scratch or look worn even if anything is touching or rubbing on it, the material is sturdy and withstands everything. It stays looking new even after years. They’re not painfully expensive like Hermès or anything but I feel like the quality is there esp since it’s fabric that’s been around since the 1800s…

@sharonsurya1171 Год назад

Omg. I was always obsessed with luxury goods. Not even gonna spend a dime on it from now on. Being a customer, I was totally ignorant about all of these. And thanks to social media for creating an unnecessary hype about these goods and tricking young naive girls like me to buy things that we don't even need. Many buy it because it associated with status and that's what they are selling now. A person's ego is attacked and we fall victims to it. 😢

Some envy comments here.. we all have different financial abilities and if someone like a design of a certain bag and can simply afford then I don’t have any problem with that.

What makes me happy is that everyone can afford a good quality leather bag, to each it’s own

I would absolutely love for you to do Bvlgari serpenti bags. The hardware is 24k gold plated and the leathers are amazing to the touch. They cost around the same amount as bottega veneta/ysl etc. I wonder if these brands use better quality in their higher priced items. Take ysl for example, like the sunset bag and loulou sholder bag. Bvlgari is so underrated and out of all my bags, Bvlgari serpenti bags seem to be the best quality in my opinion.

@la6136 Год назад

24k gold plated is not good. It will still wear off the same as 14k gold plated. It should be gold filled for the price tag.

@staciarenee2982 Год назад

@@la6136hey have those bags as well, but they are exotic bags with gems and diamonds. Those are more of an art piece. Bvlgari is a high jewlery brand, like 200k necklaces, etc The hardware is made the same as some of their jewlery pieces & go through the same plating. They use gold and palladium over brass hardware. I would trust their hardware over any other luxury brand, even Hermès.
