That's what you pay for. These workers are craftsmen, experts in the field of shoe making - ensuring that each pair is of quality and is going to last a lifetime. Thank you for sharing the video!
Made in Italy is just a false moniker of quality, it is essentially “made in China” because most of the workforce comprises of Chinese migrants and expats. The quality control and the amount of time each article has for assembly is what distinguishes the shoes, obviously the materials are going to be in line with a higher caliber than what you typically find in Asian countries, but not in all cases.
I recently purchased a pair of sneakers from Louis Vuitton and was amazed by the quality. It's really captivating to see the craftsmanship, attention to detail, and precision in the creation of a pair of Louis Vuitton shoes.
_ Don't be a poor mind-person, and search for a local shopp that brings you a better service/product than this inflatedd Loui Vitton, ando for 1/3 of the price.
That was simply amazing. The craftsmanship, the focus, the intimacy, really quite moving if you ask me, lol!!! It was almost like watching a “Ballet” of sorts. I know I must sound kinda creepy going on about the making of a pair of shoes, but, I really appreciate artistry, in all of its many forms. Be well.
Nothing creepy whatsoever about your analysis of this. In fact, I feel like your statement is spot-on. It was a BEAUTIFUL experience watching this unfold.
Now that's what the word quality means ! Hand-made by true experts ! Louis Vuitton shoes is like a mercedes or Bentley in cars ! Thanks a lot for the video man I'm so impressed
According to Louis Vuitton, the material costs less than $30. They order standard leather for their shoes and purses, what you're paying for is the brand name.
As I worked on the Paris Haute Couture collections of Ralph Rucci for 3 yrs, I know a bit about fine craftsmanship and I was awed by your film. It nearly made me cry. I am sharing it on to fashion friends. I so admire fine handwork & fine film making. Bravo! :D
These shoes are like Bentley cars, beautifully built and the attention to detail is extraordinary. However just like Bentley cars, more than half of the costumers buy them just because of the status and image it gives. The only thing they appreciate is the badge, they do not care about how they are made and how beautiful these things are. Sad story, and please stop the hate, not everything is made in china, nor should it be like that either. It is somewhat sad that so many things are no more locally made anymore, if you love your country buy local items when you can because it shows that you actually care. Think about it, if people did not buy those shoes then all the brilliant workers who have worked in those factories for years and maybe even generations would be out of job
You are ABSOLUTELY WRONG . I don't think you ever use high-end couture products because you're not rich enough . If you're rich enough , you'll know what is the difference .
***** Designer labels are not known for quality. If you want quality you're better off buying from brands that specialize in the garment you're looking for.
***** When the company first started in 1854 Louis was only concentrate making his trucks to the rich and royal families and shoes was presented to the world only for a decade or so.
usernaames That is not true, because people won't spend over 1k for a pair of shoes that isn't "high quality made". Do you really think people that buy LV shoes are simply only because of the brand name?
Louis Vuitton has the highest quality control of their products. They're not just "Any hand crafted shoes" that you can get from India or China or whatever third world countries you're thinking. When you know more about Louis Vuitton then you sure will be more appreciate the brand.
+Raj Tated , With all due respect, India does have much going for it, but quality, of this refined level is not one of them. I purchase many products made in India, and what I admire and appreciate is the irregular handwork that is visible in their products.
You expect to get a product 1/10th of the price and the same quality??because last time i checked indian products are quite cheap and good...know your history first india was looted for 200 yrs and still indians progressed back in 65yrs...so I guess wait more 100 years when india becomes a super power
Porche Carrera You wouldn’t believe how many high quality shoes they make in Italy unbranded at a tenth of the price of a Louis Vuitton... Louis Vuitton you pay the name first of anything else
"Highest quality", I can tell by what you say that you don't know anything about high quality shoes. You can see that he uses quite a bit of glue attach a big chunk of the heel and I did not see a speck of shaven cork. Hand made high quality Italian shoes are made with compounds of leather and or wood so it can be rebuilt when worn down and nailed down to last. The brand Louis Vuitton is marketed to gullible women with their tasteless logo printed all over it but also has a market for fooling dumb men with mass produced aesthetic items that don't know what quality is to take money they don't have. When you're pathetic and think Louis Vuitton shoes are high quality.
I'm sure they still make a good buck, I used to work for Gucci and Hugo Boss they pay crap at first as a salemen but as you move up in the company they pay better and batter
***** Any decent shoe maker has handcrafted shoes, even the cheaper ones. You can get handcrafted shoes from Loake for less than $200, though they're handcrafted in India. Their cheapest shoes that are handcrafted in the UK are still fairly cheap at ~$230.
***** These shoes technically weren't handcrafted. If you would like to see the production of a handlasted and handwelted shoes, search for St. Crispins or Vass.
They're not. Nobody welts a shoe by hand anymore. Its is both more time consuming and inferior to using a sewing machine. This is clearly for cinematic effect.
That is a classic example of a person taking pride in their work, & what they do for a living. You know he's serious about his work when you wear a Lab Coat. Worth every Penney, & then some.
How can anyone support a company or design house that burns their unsold merchandise at the end of the season? There's something wrong with a society that thinks this is acceptable...
This happens with all types of merchandise. I first found out about this happening to school books that don't get sold, edited, and republished with very few changes the next year. Capitalism at it's finest!
