BUYING GUCCI SECOND HAND FROM JAPAN ON BUYEE!! ua-cam.com/video/DbcLFyTYZ50/v-deo.html Buying cheap second hand luxury bags using the Japanese proxy service "From Japan"!!! ua-cam.com/video/BVw0ruQihWQ/v-deo.html
its one of the benefit to live in Japan 😀 also lots people got those bags as presents from their ex after broke up they dont want to see those bags so they sold them ,thats why they are so new.
I personally think she has this much left because out of respect she didn't post anything at the start of the year when the Australian wild fires were going on and then that Japan footage was already kind of old. That's my guess at least.
Alex my beloved , your videos are the ones I’ve watched over these years , I don’t even remember how many years ago u started to watch you. Still cannot believe a good hearted person like you has left us , you’ve helped me through so much…wherever you are I wish you the best there can be
Yes. I Have been purchasing second hand designer bags in Japan for many years now. I’d suggest to go to more suburban/rural areas near Tokyo to find bags in better condition and still reasonably priced.
I will admit, I really have never yearned for a designer bag that new costs thousands of dollars but, if I were I would go to Japan to get one used. So much more affordable
Everything that she says it’s true I live in Japan and thrift shops are just awesome. You can find really good deals and some stuff are practically brand new
Fools are the ones who spend $10,000 on a "real" bag. I have a fake Louis Vuitton doctor's bag that I purchased in Korea in 1987. I walked into Neman Marcus with it. Several employees in the handbag section couldn't believe my bag was fake. They are comparing my *esluxscom* to the "real" one and they can't see any difference. Mine cost $40, the real deal was $7500.
When I was very young, my father told me to be strong inside instead of using external strength to cover up my inner weaknesses, so I always chose *gtdupe*
I’m an avid thrifter. I love older bags and bargain prices. So thank you for making this video. It is mine and my husbands dream to visit Japan one day (curse you pandemic...), and now I know where to thrift and look at possibly getting an authentic vintage bag. Until then I will live vicariously through these UA-cam vids. Thank you so much for your efforts in these videos. Hope you’re doing well.
The reality is: if you're rich and famous, your *preluxz* bags are seen as a sign of success. If you are just an ordinary worker working a 9-to-5 job, your real bag is likely to be considered the fruit of your efforts.
I hadn’t intended to devote 40 minutes to watching a video on purchasing luxury handbags, but I’m so glad I did! I feel like you took me on a little trip to Japan. Thank you so much! I loved the super places you brought me to, not to mention all the info you shared about so many gorgeous luxury brands. And I, for one, truly appreciated your ending your video at that delicious sushi restaurant! I was feeling a bit peckish myself. Arigato.
I bought some authentic vintage and not so vintage Gucci, and LV bags/wallets from Japanese stores about 4 yrs.ago. My LV speedy30 ($275) had water stains on the handles and trimming which were easily removed gently using a magic sponge and metal polish to remove the black stains on the oxidized zippers, and other hardware. For the minor scuffs on the leather, I used a matching leather shoe polish to restore the color. My Gucci black canvas was faded to grey (I paid $225), so I dyed it using a $7 bottle of black fabric ink and a paint brush to make it look brand new. I condition all my leather bags once a year using a high quality leather conditioner and store them in black satin pillow cases. So easy, so worth it! 🥰
Me remembering nearly all the bags from the jag collection in *jklux* other apartment on the dimond tray.. I think i watched that video like 40 times. Purse collection goals
also I love your videos. I am suffering with depression and university stuff and your videos and Archie always make me happy even during panic attacks :)❤️🥰
awww remember when we could travel and not die? fun times edit: for the people who don't understand sarcasm this is a joke I am clearly being sarcastic
I'm convinced Shinjuku station is actually Limbo. The first time I went there it took almost AN HOUR to find a way out. That place somehow bends the fabric of time and space
Sorry mate but an actual Chanel classic Flap superfake goes for *esluxscom* 00 dollars when purchased directly from the factory and passes at least 5 of your checks.
I really couldn't care less about luxury items, esspecially bag or shoes BUT. I think you did a great job with this video. It really feels like you know a lot about these bags! So idk what to say. You were able to make something that I really do not care about super interessting. Great job!

I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *preluxz* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
Although I could never afford a designer bag (I never have money for myself because I take care of my 3 grandbabies), I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. It was a pleasant distraction from my constant pain. You're such a sweetheart and joy to watch. 💜

I recently bought a Chanel handbag that I had been after. I bought it in Kichijoji. The price was $1600, and the guy let me have it for $1300 bc I bought another purse. I was super happy. ❤️ I had bought another Chanel in Shinjuku for $700, and a Prada for $700. All the purses are in excellent conditions. You will find amazing pieces. I love Japan. Arigato!
I had the exact same reaction until she started talking to him 2/3rd in lol. Totally forgot that he came along with her for her gluten free food vlogs.
Thank you- I seriously thought the same thing and wondered if anyone saw too!! Alex babe- we got your back!! Lol happy your dad was with you🥰 Ps samesies that im not a fan of super expensive things, but a total joy to watch you find bargains!
I found my favourite Gucci bag in the backstreets of Harajuku! less than 50 usd because it was pretty dirty, but I just cleaned it and it is so beautiful!
One thing to keep in mind is that you may have to declare high value items to Customs when you return home. You are allowed to buy and bring $900 AUD worth of stuff for personal use with you to Australia from abroad and not pay duty on it.
Same here plus her grandma's art deco style jewelry I went into one of these stores in Japan 4years ago carrying one of her bags and the staff were round me like flies then manager came to see what fuss was over, he gasped at the bag stroking it like it was his first born son begging me to consider selling at monopoly money levels. Then because it was getting rather warm in store I undid my jacket when he saw necklace he gasped turns out necklace was a one off piece designed by a particular well known French artist for a design competition he commented on fact it had matching earrings I said yes but a bit too big for my taste though I do sometimes wear bracelet and watch. He almost passed out. When I got home I did some research and was terrified to discover the actual price of necklace but when I tried to discover what the full set was worth I was redirected to an auction house. No I never sold them but if I ever want to retire to a tropical island I've got it covered. Turns out my nannas grandmother was a very famous artists model and most of the jewelry is one off designs by world class artists of the times. None quite as expensive as the set but majority in 5-6 fingers per piece. I have no daughter's to pass them on to and as I know my daughter in law thinks she will inherit all nanna left and plans to sell I'm not leaving her a single piece instead I'm donating to various charities( one the items concerned are sold charities get cash) and majority to a museum I have spent a great deal of time in through the years. So ladies have any art deco pieces you have valued. I had a strange lilac coloured stone in a choker necklace with what I thought was paste stones set in silver. Turned out it had been made by a Russian jeweller known for eggs the main stone was rare natural coloured diamond, the stones ( four rows the depth of the lilac flower design) were diamonds and setting was platinum. This paid for our rather nice home cars sons university husband's passion an item I'm not listing and enough to invest to keep us comfortably for life. In fact one of the Duchess of York's items was in same auction expected to be top selling item but this piece of jewellery I'd worn daily for years went to triple the Prince so get all art deco checked. And no I did not come from a rich background my nanna and mum thought these items were all costume jewellery as did I till that trip to Japan had me search
The thing I don't understand about designer brands.... why sell an item that's so cheap to make then once it's got a logo on it it suddenly adds 3000% to the price....
it really depends on the brand. brands that use logo's or designs that are copy protected tend to higher quality material which isn't cheap. They also have an exclusivity mindset to use that higher material and logo. brands like Luis Vitton, Gucci, and the such are such brands. if they find that their items are damaged they will not sell them as new items even if it's a tiny scuff they send them to a section in their company that sells them to second-hand places that will base pricing off of original tags but take into account damages that happened to their material. all higher-end or luxury companies do practices like this. They have the mindset that their exclusivity items will not sell to their regular customers who spend thousands on their products. It's easier for them to just sell them off in bulk to second-hand locations and focus on the best they produce. if you want new "damaged" items look for whole-sale or reputable re-sellers who work either directly or have a middle man that buys directly from the manufacture. You will save tons of money and get awesome products that could still have a full warranty.
Capitalism. My original nikes lasted 1 year while other brand I dont even remember the name of lasted 3 years, same design, they look almost the same with simmilar materials. Buying expensive stuff is for dumb people with money who want to separate themselves from poor people. Independent designers work on real art and these brands steal from them and sell the designs globally, it has nothing to do with quality.
This isn't always the case, but majority of high end brands like LV, Chanel, etc. are high quality. My mom has a Chanel purse that she's had for over 10 years that still looks brand new. These high end brands are selling you a lifelong item instead of an item that'll last you a couple years max. A lot of these high end brands also have very timeless styles. The styles of LV bags that are popular and trendy now (Speedy, Neverfull, etc.) were popular and trendy decades ago and will be popular and trendy decades from now.
Girl, you have hella willpower! I would have spent all of my money at the first couple of shops 😂 When I saw you pull out the Jeune Fille for $250 I literally screamed because I’m looking for one right now on eBay! If I found one for $250 I would be ecstatic!
I love thrifting and finding good deals even though I don’t really care that much about luxury brands I’m glad that there are places that are thrifting them and giving people a chance to have them and save money and the environment.
I am glad you didn't feel pressured to buy a bag just because you were making a video. Loved all the info you're a bag expert! I've only dabbed in designer so far and not sure if I'll go further but would love to learn more! 💗
Ikr! When i walk in a luxury store its already very pressuring that I want to leave. She not only when inside but filmed as well and didn't buy anything. Thats actually brave.
A lady I work for her house worth £3-4 million and guess what. Her dup luxury brands bags are bought from *hotdups* worth £60 on the road. What l learned from her. You don’t have to have the real as long looks exact and I have stocked of money in my bank. I used to buy the real to a point realising I don’t need to waste money
I enjoy these enriching type of videos a lot more than the cheaply made clothing hauls from overseas. Love your channel just thought I'd give my honest opinion. Thanks!
I’m in Japan at the moment looking for luxury bags it took me a while to come back to this video… even though I didn’t know her personally I am still so incredibly sad she’s gone… rest in peace Alex you will be missed 😢❤
to be honest. If you produce at cost and remove the logo, the luxury market really isn't that expensive. The mark is about 80% of the actual price. But the fact that you are *preluxz* buying an image and showing off your taste to make them think you are richer than you are is a very good thing to do
I from *suluxs* bought a Birkin and I went into Louis Vuitton at South Coast Plaza with a friend who wanted to buy a card case and we received great customer service. They offered us water..LOL I would never buy authentic knowing that are just as good.
I LOVE that you say "second hand" so many lux youtubers say "pre loved" and to me it feels more real then one says second hand. Pre loved feels like one is asheimd to say just second hand, bc someone hade it before..
I agree, saying second-hand sounds more grounded/realistic to me. I have never heard off the phrase "pre loved" until but it sounds off like it was once loved and now thrown away
I found a Louis Ellipse bag at my local Goodwill for $20 US. Thought it had to be a fake but when I asked for it out if the case, it was real. Pens exploded in the bag so the inside lining was badly stained, I didnt care it isnt like anyone else will know what the inside looks like. Cleaned as best as possible so i dont have to worry about pen rubbing off on the things inside my bag.
I remember when I could leave the house without a mask. Pandemic-exacerbated depression aside, this video made me want to find a way to go to these shops! ( when it's safe of course, no time soon. Love from the USA)
So I was literally yelling at the screen buy the purple Chanel! The you said the price....I buy $50 bag and it's a 4 day research mission and 3 hour store dilemma that I sometimes walk away from. But man do I love a good bag. Love to hear more about zen market!
While I myself am not a designer fashion girl, I do appreciate it and I love learning about it. This video is exquisite and so well done. Love you so much Alex and thanks for the amazing content!
If your in another country and you don't have portable wifi, you can download a map of the area you want when you do have wifi and still use it later without wifi ☺️
when i went to japan, i made a point to check out these second hand luxury shops and the hype is real. couldn't buy any though because i was traveling light with a carry on only but next time will for sure buy some.
Okay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the *yutulu* book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations ❤
Peace and LOVE me too. I hate goods with big brands on them. Most of the time, I prefer local goods or hand made good with no brand printed or attached on them.
I'm not gonna lie, I forgot your father was with you on this trip and seeing a blurry man in the background was so confusing. I was about to flambe him for stalking you. lol
Girl you're the best, I seriously have zero interest in designer bags/clothing... or Japan necessarily. Yet here i am watching a 40 minute video about just that and thoroughly enjoying myself because your personality and videos are so great :)
I know people who make over 200k a year but they only buy *preluxz* . No one would question their bag because of their profession, so why spend thousands on the same bag? It's so refreshing to see people spending their money wisely.
Love this video, and thank you for including prices👏🏼👏🏼 I find a lot of videos like this don’t include the prices which is annoying when you’re trying to plan a trip. Can’t wait to go back to Tokyo, so many great places in this video🙌🏼
I never knew about this! I’m from the US and I’ve been looking at a Louis Vuitton bag on therealreal and even though it’s not in perfect condition, it’s actually marked up from the original cost because they don’t make it anymore.
Pharrel is the creative director of Louis Vuitton? I've been living under a rock. All I know is *preluxz* ’s Mulberry Alexa bag is super cute and I love the pink color.
I really hate lv but this was so interesting! I would love to look for some Vivienne Westwood, Gucci or miu miu stuff if I ever get to visit some of these shops
*hugs my new $20 Walmart bag* I love watching these types of shopping videos. I love handbags and accessories. Its like window shopping with Alex! Great job on this video!
Yes there are lots of second hand luxury brand bag shops here in Japan in affordable prices..I often go to many used luxury items shops mostly in Yokohama area.
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *preluxz* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
If you think I wouldn't walk straight into that luxury men's store to buy something as a woman, then you're right. Not because it's a men's store, but because I'm broke AF.
I loved watching this. Even though I'm not a luxury accessories fanatic, I'm probably never going to Japan but damn I love watching your shopping vids 🥰
i’m Japanese and i didn't know these information are useful for other counties people. thanks for introducing and everyone please come to Tokyo when safe world coming back!!
Honestly, Im only willing to pay $100 and that's good quality. The bags are pretty but really, it does the same as a $10 bag. It's only a status symbol really.
Facts. I bought a $220 bag on sale for $60 and now I’m starting to second guess it. But after seeing this video, I see that my bag wasn’t expensive at all 😂😂 feeling broke af with this video
When she was translating the sign around 18:31 I got an advertisement for "hot nuts" right as she went to translate the ya and it was hilarious because I'm a child at heart.
Reading this comment made me laugh because my head did fall in the gutter when I stuck "hot nuts" after the translation of daikoku. Also the placement of the ads right before she said the rest of it (translation of Daikokuya) leaves much to be desired.

Next time you go to Japan…can I come 🙏🏽🥰
Please I need someone who can supply me
Can u please send me a one bag🙏
Do people buy these bags from there and resell them in Australia?
Can you please post their ebay store or email that I could reach the store in Atlantis.
its one of the benefit to live in Japan 😀 also lots people got those bags as presents from their ex after broke up they dont want to see those bags so they sold them ,thats why they are so new.
If I got an expensive gift from an ex i would for sure keep it XD
Also , special in Shinjuku there’s lots of girls bar (or boys ) they got present from guest and they prefer cash so they will sold them there
@@marianaprado2856 if I got that as a gift I will keep too XD
How much money do those people have?
@@marianaprado2856 I think she said the person who sold it gets money when it gets sold so they got the value out of it.
How much extra japan stock footage you holding onto girl?!
I think she had it because she knew she wouldn't be filming while recovering from her surgery. At least that's my guess
I personally think she has this much left because out of respect she didn't post anything at the start of the year when the Australian wild fires were going on and then that Japan footage was already kind of old.
That's my guess at least.
I was trying to get an estimate of how many more japan videos we have coming hehe
@@MissMints she said she had a lot of prefilmed japan videos, so I expect many more 💕
I have DAYS of footage hahahaha
With LV goods you also have to remember that the market in Japan is saturated. LV does 70% of their sales in Japan, so there is a LOT of LV here.
hello, where in tokyo can i go to find the cheapest luxury items? Even if they are a little damaged, it does not matter. Thank you
@@queen243 Did you even watch the video?
@@sydneypeck2488 yes but i m french and there are no translation on the video so it s a little beat difficult for me to understand everything 🙃

How do you get them authenticated?
May I know the name of some stores?
Any specific store recs?
I'm surprised how often I act like a rich person, my money is in *preluxscom* buying some fancy bags that are more than he's worth
First time LYXBAG kuch different colors ka LV bag dekha..very elegant....good choice
I will admit, I really have never yearned for a designer bag that new costs thousands of dollars but, if I were I would go to Japan to get one used. So much more affordable
Right even if I had the money for luxury, something about getting it for cheaper just makes it even more exciting!
Plus it’s good for the environment

I don't understand why we can't get a knockoff *condup* . No one is going to walk up to you on the street and check your bag to see if it's genuine.
The reality is: if you're rich and famous, your *preluxz* bags are seen as a sign of success. If you are just an ordinary worker working a 9-to-5 job, your real bag is likely to be considered the fruit of your efforts.
Come across this video randomly and I watched *preluxz* OMG your closet is every women’s dream! Love your voice and the way you talk

One thing to keep in mind is that you may have to declare high value items to Customs when you return home. You are allowed to buy and bring $900 AUD worth of stuff for personal use with you to Australia from abroad and not pay duty on it.
question: since it's used, why so you have to declare it? can you just not have traveled with your bag and came back home with your bag?
I'm not a handbag person at all, but I really enjoyed watching your excitement and experience during this video 💜
When my grandma died, I got her bags, they are expensive bags, sometimes I see them and think, I would give all the bags in the world to have her back

Then because it was getting rather warm in store I undid my jacket when he saw necklace he gasped turns out necklace was a one off piece designed by a particular well known French artist for a design competition he commented on fact it had matching earrings I said yes but a bit too big for my taste though I do sometimes wear bracelet and watch. He almost passed out. When I got home I did some research and was terrified to discover the actual price of necklace but when I tried to discover what the full set was worth I was redirected to an auction house. No I never sold them but if I ever want to retire to a tropical island I've got it covered.
Turns out my nannas grandmother was a very famous artists model and most of the jewelry is one off designs by world class artists of the times. None quite as expensive as the set but majority in 5-6 fingers per piece. I have no daughter's to pass them on to and as I know my daughter in law thinks she will inherit all nanna left and plans to sell I'm not leaving her a single piece instead I'm donating to various charities( one the items concerned are sold charities get cash) and majority to a museum I have spent a great deal of time in through the years.
So ladies have any art deco pieces you have valued. I had a strange lilac coloured stone in a choker necklace with what I thought was paste stones set in silver. Turned out it had been made by a Russian jeweller known for eggs the main stone was rare natural coloured diamond, the stones ( four rows the depth of the lilac flower design) were diamonds and setting was platinum. This paid for our rather nice home cars sons university husband's passion an item I'm not listing and enough to invest to keep us comfortably for life. In fact one of the Duchess of York's items was in same auction expected to be top selling item but this piece of jewellery I'd worn daily for years went to triple the Prince so get all art deco checked. And no I did not come from a rich background my nanna and mum thought these items were all costume jewellery as did I till that trip to Japan had me search
Plz give one to me😊

Awwww...expensive material things will never take the place of or replace a person, especially someone like a grandma!
The thing I don't understand about designer brands.... why sell an item that's so cheap to make then once it's got a logo on it it suddenly adds 3000% to the price....
"Exclusivity."
People love the association, they love to simultaneously fit in and stand out.
it really depends on the brand.
brands that use logo's or designs that are copy protected tend to higher quality material which isn't cheap. They also have an exclusivity mindset to use that higher material and logo.
brands like Luis Vitton, Gucci, and the such are such brands. if they find that their items are damaged they will not sell them as new items even if it's a tiny scuff they send them to a section in their company that sells them to second-hand places that will base pricing off of original tags but take into account damages that happened to their material.
all higher-end or luxury companies do practices like this. They have the mindset that their exclusivity items will not sell to their regular customers who spend thousands on their products. It's easier for them to just sell them off in bulk to second-hand locations and focus on the best they produce.
if you want new "damaged" items look for whole-sale or reputable re-sellers who work either directly or have a middle man that buys directly from the manufacture. You will save tons of money and get awesome products that could still have a full warranty.
Capitalism. My original nikes lasted 1 year while other brand I dont even remember the name of lasted 3 years, same design, they look almost the same with simmilar materials. Buying expensive stuff is for dumb people with money who want to separate themselves from poor people. Independent designers work on real art and these brands steal from them and sell the designs globally, it has nothing to do with quality.
It depends from the brand but I can assure you, not all of them are cheaply made
This isn't always the case, but majority of high end brands like LV, Chanel, etc. are high quality. My mom has a Chanel purse that she's had for over 10 years that still looks brand new. These high end brands are selling you a lifelong item instead of an item that'll last you a couple years max. A lot of these high end brands also have very timeless styles. The styles of LV bags that are popular and trendy now (Speedy, Neverfull, etc.) were popular and trendy decades ago and will be popular and trendy decades from now.
Girl, you have hella willpower! I would have spent all of my money at the first couple of shops 😂 When I saw you pull out the Jeune Fille for $250 I literally screamed because I’m looking for one right now on eBay! If I found one for $250 I would be ecstatic!
I love thrifting and finding good deals even though I don’t really care that much about luxury brands I’m glad that there are places that are thrifting them and giving people a chance to have them and save money and the environment.
The professional quality of this video is outstanding!
I love how knowledgeable Alex is, knowing all the names to the styles of bags!
Actually the correct pronunciation of Moschino is mosKino since in Italian che CH sound hard like a K 😅 ..but it sounded cute 😊
I am glad you didn't feel pressured to buy a bag just because you were making a video. Loved all the info you're a bag expert! I've only dabbed in designer so far and not sure if I'll go further but would love to learn more! 💗
Ikr! When i walk in a luxury store its already very pressuring that I want to leave. She not only when inside but filmed as well and didn't buy anything. Thats actually brave.
The variety of textures in the bbkbags pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
As long remember I chose *preluxz* ’s LADY DIOR as a gift because the stitching looked better and neater. The packaging is also very beautiful.
This video is just calling me broke in 80 different ways
😂Yep!
But it’s Alex, so I’m watching and loving her 😂
The only reason I would buy a bag so expensive is to resell it at the higher price. Do not relly see another point to do that.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂 I know the feeling
Great comment
me incredibly broke watching this video like "ah yes this was good deals"
Me: “that’s only 2000 USD, get itttt”
Also me: *card not present transaction $3.50~card declined*
😂@@whytho9477
A lady I work for her house worth £3-4 million and guess what. Her dup luxury brands bags are bought from *hotdups* worth £60 on the road. What l learned from her. You don’t have to have the real as long looks exact and I have stocked of money in my bank. I used to buy the real to a point realising I don’t need to waste money
I enjoy these enriching type of videos a lot more than the cheaply made clothing hauls from overseas. Love your channel just thought I'd give my honest opinion. Thanks!
I’m in Japan at the moment looking for luxury bags it took me a while to come back to this video… even though I didn’t know her personally I am still so incredibly sad she’s gone… rest in peace Alex you will be missed 😢❤
I went all out in Japan with these kind of stores. It’s so fun to shop when you’re getting all these deals
GURL this is the video I was looking for!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH
I agree.
I'm planning a trip 😊💚. Great video ty
Sameeee
to be honest. If you produce at cost and remove the logo, the luxury market really isn't that expensive. The mark is about 80% of the actual price. But the fact that you are *preluxz* buying an image and showing off your taste to make them think you are richer than you are is a very good thing to do
I'm crying in poor. £60 is a lot to me. However, if I were to buy secondhand, it would be in Japan. Great video.
Can I just say that your style of shooting and editing is incredible and adds a huge feeling of luxe to the whole thing
Oh man... my big secret is out! Been going to Japan annually for the past few years just to get good designer bargains.
The variety of textures in the KKUWAN pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
I have two urges now. 1. To go to Japan and 2. Buy a second hand luxury bag
haha yup
Same
My roommate used to buy bags off *suluxs* . I think she ended up spending almost the price of the bag she wanted . They were real leather .
I from *suluxs* bought a Birkin and I went into Louis Vuitton at South Coast Plaza with a friend who wanted to buy a card case and we received great customer service. They offered us water..LOL I would never buy authentic knowing that are just as good.
From the packaging to the details of the bags, I think the *suluxs* shop has made reproduction an art form.
I LOVE that you say "second hand" so many lux youtubers say "pre loved" and to me it feels more real then one says second hand. Pre loved feels like one is asheimd to say just second hand, bc someone hade it before..
I agree, saying second-hand sounds more grounded/realistic to me. I have never heard off the phrase "pre loved" until but it sounds off like it was once loved and now thrown away
@@Meimoons Yeees!
I found a Louis Ellipse bag at my local Goodwill for $20 US. Thought it had to be a fake but when I asked for it out if the case, it was real. Pens exploded in the bag so the inside lining was badly stained, I didnt care it isnt like anyone else will know what the inside looks like. Cleaned as best as possible so i dont have to worry about pen rubbing off on the things inside my bag.
Try rubbing alcohol to dissolve the ballpoint pen ink! Also dissolves sharpie marker!
do you go into store to authenticate it?
Amazing find!
I remember when I could leave the house without a mask. Pandemic-exacerbated depression aside, this video made me want to find a way to go to these shops! ( when it's safe of course, no time soon. Love from the USA)
Hope you have left your home maskless-and your depression has gotten better -we got majorly duped
I remember when I was in Fukuoka japan! Gosh I miss shopping cheap and authentic Louis Vuitton and other bag!
So I was literally yelling at the screen buy the purple Chanel! The you said the price....I buy $50 bag and it's a 4 day research mission and 3 hour store dilemma that I sometimes walk away from. But man do I love a good bag.
Love to hear more about zen market!
While I myself am not a designer fashion girl, I do appreciate it and I love learning about it. This video is exquisite and so well done. Love you so much Alex and thanks for the amazing content!
If your in another country and you don't have portable wifi, you can download a map of the area you want when you do have wifi and still use it later without wifi ☺️
It turns out that true luxury is not worth it! So I listened to my mom and kept shopping on *preluxz* .
when i went to japan, i made a point to check out these second hand luxury shops and the hype is real. couldn't buy any though because i was traveling light with a carry on only but next time will for sure buy some.
Okay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the *yutulu* book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations ❤
*tries "on" 5000 dollar Chanel bag*
*Music in the background* LET'S DO IT LET'S DO IT LET'S DO IT
Haha I noticed this as well
When?
That has to be subliminal!
Am i the only person, that thinks that famous brands are waaaaaay to pricey but still would buy one? 😂😂
Because rich ppl doesn't know where to spend money, that's why 🤔💵💸
Just buying a name. Nothing that important at 3,000.00 it will wear out just like anything else.
I love the moderate price bags, such as Coach, Michael Kors, or Rebecca Minkoff!
Oh my gosh I could never justify spending 2,500 on a bag!😬 that’s just me though.
Peace and LOVE me too. I hate goods with big brands on them. Most of the time, I prefer local goods or hand made good with no brand printed or attached on them.
Omg I’m a handbag junkie and this looks like HEAVEN 😭
Yeeessssss😳😮
Am I the only one who heard the "Just do it" playing in the store on a loop when she was looking at the purple Channel bag? 😬 26:51 ish in the video
I don't care for luxury brands but this was such a nice video to watch!!
The audio in the background singing "just do it" as you grabbed the purple Channel bag killed me.
I'm a New Yorker. When you left the station it reminded me of West 42nd Street during rush hour
It's lunchtime in Texas, so this video has been uploaded at the perfect time!
I'm not gonna lie, I forgot your father was with you on this trip and seeing a blurry man in the background was so confusing. I was about to flambe him for stalking you. lol
Oh my god this!
I had to go snooping through the comments to make sure I wasn't the only one!!! Hahaha! We've got your back, gurrrrrl! Good looking out!
I was wondering who was the guy as well ! I was looking for comments to see if I was the only one too
@@CandiRhae00 LOL same
yall taking this too far, this is why innocents man get hurt and why the internet is toxic
Girl you're the best, I seriously have zero interest in designer bags/clothing... or Japan necessarily. Yet here i am watching a 40 minute video about just that and thoroughly enjoying myself because your personality and videos are so great :)
Same!
The hot pink Chanel to the left of the bag you wanted was everything 😍😍
10:24 the Chanel backpacks beside the moschino bag. 😍😍😍
Me: "splurges" on a $30 wallet 😬
His *yutulu* tote is beautifully colored, very sturdy and the perfect size. Not too small, not too big. I look forward to joining my rotation.
I honestly thought you were being followed at some point, but after realising you were out with someone that makes much more sense 😂
Living below the poverty line my entire life, I can't imagine ever buying a bag that could house me for 6months
At 5:49 what a beautiful LV bag that has cerry blossoms on!!!! I want it
I swear the happiness I feel when *luxdups* uploads a video is beyond!!!!
I know people who make over 200k a year but they only buy *preluxz* . No one would question their bag because of their profession, so why spend thousands on the same bag? It's so refreshing to see people spending their money wisely.
*preluxz* bags just outclassed the rest..too good
It would be amazing if these stores had websites so we could all find amazingly priced luxury items
Check out her second video pinned at the top. There is a website for exactly that
Anyone else waiting for Alex to buy something
Yes! I was ready for a purchase!! Alex has a ton of self control.
Alex:"These things are really cheap!"
Me: "I couldn't even afford a bloody paperbag in there!"🤣
Will look into these shops with my daughter who ives in Koenji too. Thanks!
Love this video, and thank you for including prices👏🏼👏🏼 I find a lot of videos like this don’t include the prices which is annoying when you’re trying to plan a trip. Can’t wait to go back to Tokyo, so many great places in this video🙌🏼
When you say Pawn shop, i really thought you said p*rn shop. My jaw dropped a little bit. 😂😂😂
Same I thought I heard that too lol
Omg I was about to say that too XD
Same
Samee
Same! lol
I really love hand bags, especially the ones that are cat themed or anime ones.
I never knew about this! I’m from the US and I’ve been looking at a Louis Vuitton bag on therealreal and even though it’s not in perfect condition, it’s actually marked up from the original cost because they don’t make it anymore.
Same here in France! People are trying to sell old Speedys for a higher price than they bought it 🤦🏻♀️
Such GREAT comparisons! Allllll soooo lovely! Especially the *yutulu* tote. Their styles are so chic, sleek, elegant and understated! 😍
Pharrel is the creative director of Louis Vuitton? I've been living under a rock. All I know is *preluxz* ’s Mulberry Alexa bag is super cute and I love the pink color.
Do the stores have a website to order these items. Thanks for sharing
I am not even a Luxury Items kind of person, at all, but since it's a PrettyPastelPls video, I know it'll be great, so I am here.
I really hate lv but this was so interesting! I would love to look for some Vivienne Westwood, Gucci or miu miu stuff if I ever get to visit some of these shops
*hugs my new $20 Walmart bag* I love watching these types of shopping videos. I love handbags and accessories. Its like window shopping with Alex! Great job on this video!
Yes there are lots of second hand luxury brand bag shops here in Japan in affordable prices..I often go to many used luxury items shops mostly in Yokohama area.
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *preluxz* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
I spent a few dollars on *preluxz* and bought a YSL down bag, which looks very nice. A dollar saved is a dollar earned.
the stores that you went too with the stairs seem to have the best variety!
aww I now I want to travel back to Japan so bad 😫
Omg hazel :D
SAME
Me too
Me i know the location of this places?? Are they legit authentic???
Forgniers are not welcomed to Japan 🎌🎌🎌🎌
Never been this early to one of the vids! I think that shows how much I’ve been looking forward to this! 😂❤️
If you think I wouldn't walk straight into that luxury men's store to buy something as a woman, then you're right. Not because it's a men's store, but because I'm broke AF.
So refreshing to watch a video with knowledge about bags!
The song that was playing when you were holding that Chanel bag LOL perfect!
I loved watching this. Even though I'm not a luxury accessories fanatic, I'm probably never going to Japan but damn I love watching your shopping vids 🥰
i’m Japanese and i didn't know these information are useful for other counties people. thanks for introducing and everyone please come to Tokyo when safe world coming back!!
Never felt so poor in my life 😂 "2000$? That's a good price!"
...
Gurl I can't even spend 200$ on a bag
YoshiAndTheTardis $ 50.00 US. Tops
Her is Australian dollar
Honestly, Im only willing to pay $100 and that's good quality. The bags are pretty but really, it does the same as a $10 bag. It's only a status symbol really.
@@maylynbayani Quality is there, I can attest.
Facts. I bought a $220 bag on sale for $60 and now I’m starting to second guess it. But after seeing this video, I see that my bag wasn’t expensive at all 😂😂 feeling broke af with this video
Oh my where is this video been I am really behind I have really enjoyed watching this.
I’m definitely interested in a video of the Zen market. I wouldn’t mind buying a few bags.
TOTAL SIDE NOTE: BRAD MONDO JUST MADE HAIR COLOR AND THERE IS A PINK AND PURPLE YOU SHOULD TRY!!!!! Omgomgomg 😍😍
I loved this video!
When she was translating the sign around 18:31 I got an advertisement for "hot nuts" right as she went to translate the ya and it was hilarious because I'm a child at heart.
Reading this comment made me laugh because my head did fall in the gutter when I stuck "hot nuts" after the translation of daikoku.
Also the placement of the ads right before she said the rest of it (translation of Daikokuya) leaves much to be desired.
i got a KFC ad 😂
