Yep when people find out how much Hermes artisans get paid for producing those 10000 euro bags, they completely lose it 😂 it's pretty crazy but the power of the brand is undeniable.

My husband has a Prada wallet & has had it for 12 yrs & it hasn’t broke. It looks new. The cheep ones would rip & he’d have to buy new ones. I convinced him it was worth it.$400.00 HE LOVES IT I WOULD SAY HE WOULD HAVE REPLACED THE CHEAP ONES ABOUT 7 times by now if not more… so the high end ones are worth it..

@13ballom День назад

Your husband could have gone to a leathersmith, chosen the kind of leather he wants, how many pockets in the wallet to hold stuff, what kind of design, how many folds, what material should it be stitched with etc. and he could have had a better quality wallet than the prada one you are talking about for cheaper. Not just that, the leathersmith’s wallet would be more exclusive than the prada one because there is just one like the one your husband would have custom ordered from the leathersmith. Luxury goods are never worth their value in materials.

I bought my husband a similar LV wallet a few years ago before the price increases and his wallet has held up wonderfully. In my opinion it was worth the cost per wear as he has a physically demanding job and it still looks great. I also know we paid for the name so to me it was worth it.

@nv2605 Год назад

First - i really like the message- it is up to a person to decide if they want a status symbol or a good wallet. Second - I am too lazy to go through comments so I am not sure if anyone mentioned this. What we forget is they also invest a lot of money in package, design of the product, distribution, people who work in boutiques. I don’t own any of this level luxury products and I don’t think I ever will because I actually do find prices to be ridiculous , but I do think that calculation is maybe as not as simple.

@xismecwilliams9604 Год назад

@@ninjaturtles12121 how do you think these wallets are made? Their majority made in Italy which doesn’t have a great living wage anyway. Even then wallets like this are still put through sewing machines making it very easy and quick to make such products. If you don’t know how manufacturing works then don’t comment. I for one have a degree in fashion, manufacturing and production. There isn’t 1 person making a wallet, there are several people who assemble different parts at a fast pace to keep up with production. At the end there is 1 person and 1 machine that does the final assembly. There is nothing different from a Italian textiles factory to a Chinese factory the only difference is better living standards and a little more time taken. wallets are also made from left over fabric from larger bulk cutouts to reduce wastage and to maximise profits. I for one would never bother buying such rubbish 😂 so $10/ £10/ 10 Euros is about right for 1 wallet during manufacturing. That love and care you think your products get from such manufacturers isn’t really there. It’s not haute couture, it really isn’t that luxury especially from Louie Vuitton. You want quality and 1 person making your bag/ wallet go to a actual independent leather worker who makes things by hand not to a brand in it for money like this, because all your really buying is their left over scrap fabric turned into a wallet by several people costing very little to make with more polyester then natural material.

@bucknut2000 Год назад

10 dollars for labor. It would be good to know the amount of time and the rate/hour he’s using. So in the states, I think the LVMH employees get about 15- 22/hour at the factory which is cheaper than making in France so that took less than 30 minutes to make. That seems awfully quick

$10 in labor does seem way low considering LV products are all make in France, Italy, and Spain. $10 in labor if it was made in China maybe. Not in Italy or France. I'm not going to pretend LV isn't overpriced but to say you could make this wallet for $30 just seems idiotic. LV financials are public domain and they report a profit margin around 60-70%. Not 1000%. This guy seems to have a vendetta against LV for some reason, never has anything but bad things to say about it.

Dear Tanner, you omitted the embossed logotypes, i.e. the monogram pattern. I imagine the machine that does it also needs to be designed, calibrated, manned and so on. Plus the whole designing aspect - that's another person employed, another set of tools (a pc, some software etc.). Also, in Europe, employers cover healthcare and pension contribution for the workers. Furthermore, there are taxes, electricity and water bills for the factory and so on. Your estimates are more fitted to the small, few people-operated businessess.

Designer items like these are often never "worth the money" if you're just looking at the quality, build and labor and that's coming from someone who buys designer items. It's about the status symbol that's what it's always been about, when you start talking about $500 dollars for a wallet or $1250 for a Chanel wallet you're obviously paying a huge amount for the branding. Most folks who buy this stuff are well aware. These aren't for people just looking for a quality leather wallet, you could find that from an unknown name for half the price.

People need to send this and tag every damn narcissistic "influencer" on social media! Stop buying this bs and start supporting real people and small business!

@gunmetal2445 Год назад

But small businessw usually can't afford to send 'those particular' influencers freebies so they probably won't support them

@FC-eh7ll Год назад

@@gunmetal2445 The sad truth, unless there are influencers (only) promoting the items they buy themselves. I understand how it works but honestly the whole giving-freebies-to-influencers thing annoys me

I’m glad I didn’t let myself fell into ‘scam’ buying luxury brand. I prefer any goods where no logo/brand showing! Some goods really not worth the money at all.

That’s why Louis Vuitton isn’t known for their leather…but keep trying to push it out while price increasing their canvas.

the regular pricing system for fashion items going in retail markets is (materials+labour)*2*2,6 since the retailer takes a huge margin it can also go up to *3 in places like Japan for european brands. So 182 would be the retail price if your total cost is 35

I bought a basic coach wallet, like four or five years ago to replace my duct tape wallet I made in like first grade and had been carrying for 15 years. I don’t know if it’s real leather, I don’t know if it’s good quality or anything like that. But it feels brand new to this day and doesn’t have any scratches or wear marks. It’s a nice wallet and I got it on sale at coach warehouse for like $20. I will most likely continue to use it for years to come. Now back to the duct tape. This was back in like 2002, before the whole duct tape accessory thing became cool in the “scene” movement. I would make wallets of all sorts, handbags, totes, phone cases (usually for flip phones and nokias), etc… I even made a case for my original Nintendo, DS. All my neighbors and family members were buying duct tape stuff from me. I felt like the big boss.

I love this. 🤣🤣 I'm in bag groups and they go on and on about that leather. I got a dupe with leather that I think Is not only better looking but at a reasonable mark up. I'm into tote bags so mine is a dupe of the neverfull without the markings but made as large. very sturdy. I use for airline travel. paid less than a grand. I've had it for 5 years and always get compliments....without the status look and name attached. lol

Not a fan of name brands. But this wallet layout really caught my eye....any wallets similar to this you recommended?

@liolatte Год назад

I work at a second-hand store. we get in some LV sometimes and it goes fast because we authenticate all of our luxury accessories thru a 3rd party. We sold a wallet for $350 today and retail would probably be like 500-800. I took the pictures of it for our website and put it in the showcase. It felt cheap and flimsy. idk why people love it so much.

@smsmsm33434 6 месяцев назад

I know I’m paying for the status symbol. I could be wrong, but I think most people who buy designer are very well aware of this and don’t mind at all. Sure, I expect attention to detail, nice seams, symmetry and so on. And I value having items made in Europe as opposed to Asia. I also expect a certain experience when I shop in luxury stores. But at the end of the day, I’m not gonna sit here and justify the price by mentioning materials or even craftsmanship. I know exactly what I’m paying for and I am happy to do so. It’s something that brings me joy. I have a display case for my bags, I use them all but also take great care of them. I generally buy more subtle items, not with massive logos or monogram, because I don’t need the world to know what I’m carrying, it’s for myself. I did grow up poor, and always dreamed of having certain things that seemed unattainable. Now I can have them and they genuinely make me happy. Maybe that’s the reason, but I also think it’s just a natural interest that I have, because as a child I would spend hours playing fashion games and looking at designer websites. Most people, no matter their budget, will find things they’re willing to splurge on, whatever that may look like for them. For some it may mean spending $2, for some $20, and for others it might mean spending $20000 or more. People are allowed to do what they want with their money and we’re all overpaying for everything we buy, anyway. We all have different interests and values, and there’s no sense in judging. We don’t know what’s in other people’s bank accounts, or in their minds. Just be financially responsible, and also treat yourself to things that make you happy, whether it’s food, bags, furniture or whatever!

Love the breakdown and this is opens the door wide open for leather guys/gals to step up and make a quality leather wallet with a fit and finish that is far superior than this wallet I can guarantee that your stuff will sell like hotcakes, all u need to do is spend money on marketing and getting ur name out there coz these companies are spending a ton of money relentlessly on getting their name out. Lastly open a store in the heart of the city or better yet next to LV or Hermes and or others. At the end of the day it’s all about perception just like how we pay more for people in Wall Street than people who works as a bank teller at ur local bank.
