It is costed around $400-500 and at the beginning only sold around $2500-3000s which was a bit fair for LV pricing standard, but now it is sold for $7500, it's hard to swallow 😮 i like this one tbh
People who spend big bucks on bags usually don't care about quality. They care about status. If you have $10,000-100,000 to spend on a quality bag, why not get one custom made at *esluxy* ? Choose your materials, thread, stitch pattern, design, and hardware. Imagine you have a $10,000 bag that's made from $7,000 of quality materials and $3,000 of labor. Currently, you're not paying for the materials, you're paying for the marketing.
My Chanel SA told me they are raising prices to discourage reselling. Prices in the UK have increased by 64%, which is crazy to me and I will not be buying any bags from them anytime soon. I feel their prices are too high right now and I have been buying Chanel recently at *esluxy* .
Thank you for showing the real value of the luxury bags. The heavy marketing and perception of society make some people believe that these bags are worth the money, which is clearly not the case.
The 10s of millions spent on distribution, marketing and not to mention rent in the most premium locations all around the world.. is what everyone here conveniently fails to account for )just so they can shit on affluent consumers). If LV remained a small goods manufacturer in France I'm sure they could get it at 15% of the current price.. but then only 1% of ppl would even make it to the store..
@@pankjadhikari33 Which is why it's better to buy directly from small artisans if it's quality you're looking for - because if you value the brand over the actual bag you have to pay for all the Vogue ads and fancy stores and private jets and executive salaries instead of the product itself.
I would like to see a review on Hermes Birkin,I bought preloved. They were very expensive over $10,000 I make great money now, I’m getting smarter with my money.
@@tanner.leathersteincan you also incorporate the brands treatment of artisan employees (working conditions & payment if possible) into your reviews? I think it's also important to know that the artists are getting their fair recognition.
I really enjoyed watching you carefully take this bag about . It speaks to your level of expertise. It doesn’t have the shock factor but is very calming.
its up to the consumer to decide how much they value the design, the brand, and the prestige. these videos are awesome to see how much the production costs are, especially when it comes to simpler designs that you could find from multiple brands.
A very insightful video - it’s interesting how sometimes people buy replicas and then pretend they are the real thing, which in a way feeds into that sense of exclusivity that discourages people from buying the real thing in the first *esluxy* ! Like the drama that happened on the reality show Singles in Hell
Hi Tanner great review here thank you! The bag was made 2015 and I am not surprised why the quality is superb. I have some LV bags purchased before and after covid though I am not a leather expert but I can definitely tell the difference in texture and even the way they put the glazing on. I dont know if its just me but I think the quality of the luxury bags declined after covid yet their prices are now ridiculously unreal.
Indeed, this appears to be the case with many products. I've noticed a similar decline in furniture that claims to be solid wood but is clearly lighter and less dense than older solid wood furniture.
Good estimate $410 ,However we still have to consider other factors WHY they're so expensive . They pay for the material, their Artisan , boutique employee, rent or lease on the space, packaging, courier, and all those Celebrity Endorser .
I love my LV Capucine, my sweet husband bought it for me for my birthday. It is a bit rare because it has a beautiful fleur d le studded design on the front. It is really nice to know it is made very well. Thanks ☺
Love your videos. They teach us how marketing has brainwashed into thinking we need externals to make us feel better about ourselves. Even if I could afford a luxury bag, I would feel guilty about spending money that could have gone to a great charity like Doctors without Borders instead.
Bruh.. you don't have to put down one to like the other. We get your virtual signaling. If you have enough money for both then do it. If you don't then don't. No one is telling you what to do with your money.
@@disappearintothesea I agree with your comment and think more people need to see it. Virture signalling is tiresome and ignores the extensive and intensive pressures we face to look good (expensive). But if I may provide a balance between the two comments, I'd also say that if you can't afford both monetarily, spend more time researching into what other brands/products that can give more bang for buck. I think that's precisely why I appreciate this channel and why most of us are here
@@disappearintothesea I'm honestly always amazed by how so many comments here are personally offended by luxury like a gun is being held to their heads. There's a saying in my language that the croaking of the frog doesn't stop the cow from drinking water.
I’m surprised the glazing on this 8 years old Capucines hasn’t crack. There was an issue on the glazing around that time, people experienced melting and cracking. I myself has bought twice brand new and saw cracks on the glazing when I got home. No doubt it’s the best leather selection used, but the price LV charged today is insane. Back in 2014, the bb size was £2480 and now it has gone up to £5K ish….but I didn’t see the quality being double😬 I would say it’s a very beautiful bag but stressful to use, knowing the glazing will start to give way one day at the back of our head👎🏻. Great video as always👏🏻
LV Capucines don’t hold the same values for the like of Chanel classic flap and Hermès Birkin/Kelly. Sometime we don’t pay for a high quality bag itself, but we pay for images and status that comes with it.
True and that's fine as long as you know the price is not really much about the materials or quality, it is for the prestige engineered on that product! We are free to choose what we like to pay for. My goal is to just provide an additional data point to leather shoppers.
@@tanner.leathersteinI love this view you have. I can’t afford most of these items but it’s nice to know you’re not looking down on those that buy these.
The capucines have never been what LV is about despite how much marketing they put into it. LV has always been about the monogram, which, in my opinion, is tacky af lol I much prefer the equally rude and loud but less tacky damier haha
What? The Chanel classic flap doesn’t hold much value either (take it from someone who has one and has also sold it). The LV Capuccines resale at £3,000 easily, so does the Chanel classic flap (actually take a look). The Hermes bags resale much higher because of the stringent code for obtaining it brand new in the first place. All bags are high quality, higher than your street shop AND more than a small boutique for certain AND yes it’s also for the status, this isn’t new information.
The Capuccines is one of LVs most expensive bag, way more than any of the monogrammed stuff. Isn’t it funny how the more monogrammed - the cheaper, the less monogrammed the more expensive and higher quality.
Once again your review is excellent about a big designer house, love learning about learning can’t wait to see what you do with the learning for a new bag
The reality is, there is no mass produced bag that can justify $7500. There are some bags that can justify that price, I think they are pretty much all made in Japan, bespoke, require an in-person meeting to discuss the bag, and have a multi-year waitlist.
Indeed, no factory made mag deserve that price for its quality and craftsmanship. It will be the logo you are paying for. But there are artisans even in USA, Europe and many other countries who make bespoke bags of that kind all by hand and they command those prices. I know Japan has great leather artisans and I am hoping to visit one day. Thank you for your comment
If you can't afford designer bags and feel a certain way about expensive designer bags, then don't watch this video. Like do you read a video title before clicking on it? The title makes it clear that the video will be about designer bags. I find these types of videos very helpful and although I can't afford these bags yet, I know one day I will. I wanted to know which designer bag was truly worth my hard-earned money and one that I would get the most out of. That being said, if you're reading this, thank you for sharing this video with us and please make more videos like this. Maybe HIDUPZ is your next choice?
Oh that hurt to see this beautiful bag ripped apart.This is my favourite LV bag but I could never justify the retail price even if the quality is superlative.
I find the Capucines one of the most beautiful modern classic bags. Yes, you will be paying for a premium the materials and craftsmanship and the heritage behind the brand. But how do we properly quantify the design of a bag?
It is impossible to quantify the design of a bag as it is quite personal. And my estimates leave those subjective parts out and share my experience in industry average costs that I am familiar with in these products.
I am not that experienced in the luxury space. In fact I started to look into these brands just a couple years ago as more of my audience requested these reviews for new brands and products. So I can't tell if the quality is deteriorated but I will keep that in mind as I review some old and new bags for each project. May be I will notice a difference and share that later on. Thank you for you support!
I bought a replica of a Chanel brooch for $20 to compare materials etc. The real brooch cost $800 and was made of the exact same materials - brass, synthetic pearls, glass. The other one is a $40 one LYXBAG Backpack Replica - also works for Compare - I can't find any difference and still use it for the gym
I’ve just discovered your page and I love the content and details. Thank you for also offering your leather goods. I’ll be ordering something for sure! Keep up the excellent work with this content, your investigation coupled with knowledge sharing, and creation of quality leather goods.
Thank you for your kind words. It is my mission to help the world understand and experience leather better so I am trying to serve that goal with my content and crafts.
I do like your videos. But occasionally you understate a lot the value of labor in France of Brands like Chanel, Hermes and LV, from personal experience they are really well paid. Also take into account that the work week in France is 35 hours, up to 45 hours with overtime max. Also by law they have 4 weeks of paid vacation and most people at this type of companies get 6 weeks of paid time off. Even the cleaning staff gets well paid in most of them. And for the ones that use cheap labor they go to Portugal or Spain (they get paid more than average local Joe, but still cheaper than in France). You correct in saying they are way overpriced most of the time, I remember the first I entered the LV flagship in Champs Elysée and they were like 3500€ like 13 years ago.
This is my first (but not the last) purchase of a D U P B A G Y bag. For the affordable price, it exceeded my expectations! It's soft, the perfect size, and the color is gorgeous! Love this bag!
I would say whenever we are talking super brands the answer will depend on your values. Because even that $2400 I paid is purely for logo not an 8 year old leather bag. If you ask me personally absolutely not worth it because I don’t value logos. I would rather buy 4 brand new different leather bags from Strathberry for that money and use them for decades changing between for different bags. Absolutely same quality leather and craftsmanship without the prestige premium.
Although it varies, I am sure Milo's bag's over $4k and Peter's work should also start from that range. Now the saddle stitched bespoke bags are crafted with completely different and artisan approach. Much more time and effort goes into each than factory manufactured bags. So the cost estimates wouldn't be comparable from the assembly standpoint.
Is it ethical to use baby cows skin? Do baby cows get killed for leather ? Sorry I’m new to the leather industry was shock when you mentioned male calf’s 😮
This seem like a dumb question to ask but what is the difference between the leather use in this LV bag versus what coach uses as glovetanned leather? Is LV leather better?
Thank you for the question. This particular leather is really good. In fact best one I saw from the LV yet. But mostly Coaches glove tanned leather is also a great leather. If you compare glove tanned leather it is superior to many other lower level leathers from LV, like Epi leather.
I remembered The Devil Wears Prada scene about the cerulean blue :) That bag costs 7500 $ because it creates industries, mental worlds, customs, feelings and culture overall, and YOU, my dear, you are also living off this bag :) This bag pays your bills, this bag made you famous and this bag increases your sub count, so that is why it costs that much.
It costs that much because a PR consultant said that it should. Everything else is in your head. He could increase his subs by eating dog poop live, is that worth 7500 too?
Yes, the bag also has additional intangible costs including the brand's history. I'm only looking at the bag's leather, craftsmanship, and quality perspective to further help consumers (such as luxury brand enthusiasts) decide which brands to purchase from so they don't waste money on low-quality luxury leather goods. But this particular bag from LV is actually a great bag :) I would recommend it if you're into luxury brands 😁
@@hanstun1 y'all totally missed my point :D I was speaking about the bag as a cultural force and it is not just PR. It is the heritage, design, story telling, visuals etc. etc. LEARN a book xD
Btw my comment was not mean spirited in any way :D Cheeky fun and thinking out loud! Your videos made me re-think and discover yet again the power of design and the power of fashion, what a cultural force these objects are, EVEN if the quality is crap sometimes :))@@tanner.leatherstein
I don’t agree with that estimate of $250 for the work required for this bag. Is this saying that it would only take one hour to make? That’s unbelievable.
Real real is not a good place to buy authentic bag. Last year, my friend bought a Gucci Marmint Mini Shoulder bag for around $1,600 and on the website said it's authentic. Since it was a good price my friend bought a lot of them and plan to resell. He took the bags and asked the bag experts and they all said they were fake. I also looked at some RU-vid videos and everything that showed how to spot the fake one were all in that bag. So yeah big learning lessons for my friend.
No this bag is machine sewn. Hand stitched bags take a lot longer and cost much more in the crafting. So looking at the price I would love to see a hand stitched bag.
