    BUYING GUCCI SECOND HAND FROM JAPAN!!!
    • BUYING SECOND HAND LUX...
    I bought cheap second hand luxury bags using the buying proxy service "From Japan"!! • BUYING SECOND HAND LUX...
    It's finally here!!!! My tips on shopping for luxury items in Japan!!! I filmed this video back in JANUARY and I kept putting off posting it because I was thinking "i'll post it in a few months when people can travel again" but..... I don't see that happening any time soon, so I may as well just post this now!
    If you happen to be in Japan, or you're planning a trip there for some time next year, here are my top locations that I recommend you visit while trying to find luxury handbags second hand at reasonable prices. Also keep in mind that you can always search the word "brand" in Japanese on Google Maps and it will help you find any second hand stores selling luxury brands! Just copy this: ブランド

    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! 🥰

    • @ladydubhblossom
      @ladydubhblossom 3 роки тому +47

      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.

      @amsodoneworkingnow1978 3 роки тому +27

      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

    I really love hand bags, especially the ones that are cat themed or anime ones.

    I loved this video! Theres something so inspiring about watching you navigate japan and seeing how genuine you are while doing so. I look forward to the somewhat near chapter of my life where i can do the same!

      I live close to the Mexico border. I always go for *esluxscom* , their quality is great. Some of them are made with leather and really hard to tell the difference from real or not. Either way, it’s your choice. No judgement from me

    Never felt so poor in my life 😂 "2000$? That's a good price!"

      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
