- Louis Vuitton seems to left its prime days behind with counterfeit products ruining the brand's reputation. Do you still want a Louis Vuitton bag despite the abundance of fake products everywhere?

I wonder if people realize that the LV logo bags are made of coated canvas , not leather. What's luxurious about that? Maybe the price tag!
The coated canvas is both water and fire proof
A lot of people don’t know but even after knowing,they buy anyway. Same as tote book bag from Dior 😅
I hate the plastic texture. I dont know what a lux bag should feel like but that stiff plastic ain’t it.
The canvas is very durable actually. People think it's a scam, but it's actually a really good thing.
@@debless9572 thousands of dollars for canvas? Think about it. Canvas
I gave up on Louis Vuitton after seeing Kim K showing off LV branded garbage cans. If LV will sink that low, I have no interest anymore.
Oh well trust me they won’t miss you
I'm sure nobody misses you.
@@MrsMirandaWarren
Obviously LV didn't make them. The Monogram Canvas was repurposed to cover the trash cans.😂
well yeah, i'm not an idiot@@ljhabodsh6929
no they won't because stupid people like you will keep them in business.@@MrsMirandaWarren
I am not wealthy, but I still am not interested in buying something everyone else seems to have.
They won’t know the difference but you will! I can’t lie or live with myself like that!
There are super fakes out there that are better than the authentics.
I’m french, living in Paris. I’m honestly not interested in buying LV.
First of all, there are sooooo many counterfeits that make LV lose its value.
And secondly, everyone and their dogs wants a LV piece.
What’s luxurious about that?
Oh and the canva? What a joke!!!
Why would I pay luxury prices for items that has nothing luxurious about them!?!
I have wayy to many friends who think alike.
excatly
Agreed
I choose Longchamp instead 😊
I dont know if I agree. I spent a good 5 years without buying LV in the past because of how common it became, but lately they are bringing more real leather and exquisite designs back and it got my heart again for the last 2 or 3 years.
I'm a Brazilian ex model, worked with fashion (and lived in) NY, Paris, London, Tokyo... today I'm married into french-belgian aristocracy and I see it very differently. LV still a classic that the aristocrats use very often. It's more of an ''everyday bag'' than a luxury item thou. I'm not talking about short on money french students that are on their early 20's, but aristocratic women 30+ that have nothing to prove or rebel from and have money from many centuries. And every family meeting, golf games, and brunches I see them everywhere. In Belgium and in France (we live in Cannes during summer). LV never made so much money as today after their restructuring, so I think they are going on the right path again.
@@allwhatilove914 So if I understand, you’ve been seeing aristocratic women buying and rocking their exquisite real leather LV bags lately.
Do you see the models made of canva as well?
Because in the « poor/middle class/struggling world » that I live in…way too many people wear those bags, and trust me…their is nothing luxurious about it. So, nope, I don’t want to have anything to do with LV.
Thank you very much for sharing with us this very insightful information.
Why don’t you start a UA-cam channel? Or a podcast? You’d provide some very interesting tips and tricks that you picked up back in your modeling days and all the hacks, tips that rich women use.
I’d subscribe in a heartbeat. 😃😃😃😃
It's rumored that LV has been secretly been produced in China. So the pattern and logo can be replicated very EASILY!
I never cared about high end but considering their prices it seems to me that they shouldn't be having quality issues.
I know for me personally, I could never buy counterfeit. I would rather save my money and buy the real thing. When you buy counterfeit you never know what you getting and those things are made of things you won’t believe
I agree with what you are saying, but paying thousands for materials that doesn't have any after care service if broken etc......... does not worth it at all.......... you not gonna tell me if I buy a bag for 5k you only gonna repair the metals not the leather or anything else. Yes it is cool to have real once but.... the price they put in it is way to high compare to what they offer us specially the leather canvas which is luxurious plastic that offers durability........
Many years ago when I made the mistake of buying those, I bought this little LV bag. Eventually one the zippers lining broke and I see the inside material between the canvas of the LV bag is ALL sardine packaging. They get points for recycling at least 😅🎉
@@DieynabaNduwayo You are right that luxury handbags are not worth the thousands of dollars you spend, I would personally never spend so much money on a bag, but I would also not buy them counterfeited. Doesn't it cheapen the bag for you the fact that no one else might know, but you intrinsically know that what you have is just a fake?
Also, as the previous commenter said, you never know where the money you give to counterfeited products is going to. When I was in Italy a number of years ago, our tour guide warned us not to buy any of the counterfeits they were selling on the street because they were going to the mafia who was behind all of the counterfeit sales. If she had not explained that, I would have never known and possibly made the mistake of buying one because trust me, I was tempted as they were so cheap!
@@for833 you are right also, i wear thing not to be pointed as ohhh she got a gg original bag no i wear with or without people knowing its faje or not i have no problem with that. Nedless to say, as a black woman even of i wear a original chanel bag and go out, they will consider it ask fake even if its real, i dnt need to show of... sometimes its the people that wanted to pay attention. After all, i buy dupe or gifted...... the dupes i wanted to buy in real so i can style play around and see of it worth the money to be spended, after i buy it on second hand or lest cheaper bit not uneccesary money
While I agree it’s morally wrong to purchase counterfeits, very high quality replaces are so well made they are made from the same materials as the original. Often the workers making them are actually being paid more than at the luxury houses. Sometimes (I mean specifically extremely high quality replicas that you have to do extensive research for and go through loops to be able to purchase) the quality is even better than authentic because they have to go through more thorough quality control, because their bags need to be absolutely perfect, while the real bag is already real so sometimes minor defects and details get overlooked because they don’t care about “proving” their quality, they know you are buying the brand, not the perfect quality.
First of all LV is over-producing. For the longest time you could only buy it in less than ten places on the whole planet. Now it's absolutely everywhere. The same is true for most luxury brands. It's not rare anymore, and value comes from something being precious and not easily obtained. I personally predict a crash for a lot of luxury because of it. Secondly the Chinese counterfeitters have become so good at it that LV now has to sew in hidden RFID identifier chips to try to combat it.
but if these authentic LV fanatics are simply after these hi-tech RFID identifier chips embedded to attain their sense of luxury and exclusivity and not solely on the highest of quality merchandise and the impeccable customer service...
That is sooo not the case. Yes, there are LV stores in many cities, but they are not in EVERY major city. And even then, outside of Paris, there may be 1 or 2 LV stores per city. Additionally, you can only buy LV merchandise at an LV store or website, or you will have to settle for secondhand goods at a reseller, which may or may not be fake. LV goods also never go on sale and they tend to hold their value better than most other luxury brands. I think they have done a really good job of managing their brand and exclusivity.
@@hejiranyc Every pawn shop has LV in it now. I've seen more LV over the past three years than in my entire life before it. Scarcity drives value, and LV is no longer scarce.
I don’t like LV anymore, they destroyed their reputation and look after they started putting their logo on everything and anything.
and a five thousand dollar skateboard
I've always hated fake luxury. I'm also no fan of loud logo's, real or fake. Another great video btw. Thank you.
These days LV craftsmanship has gone downhill… cracking canvas peeling canvas & terrible edge coat! I buy pre loved and only older pieces!
I still very much want a LV bag
counterfeit or preowned, or brand new cheapy
I see so much LV that I roll my eyes. 80% I feel is likely fake so I would rather buy" less known " brands of equal or better quality.
I know mine are real, don’t really care what others think! I think LV is making a comeback, they have great designs. And I will always love seeing a monogram out and about on the streets!
Dooney is cheaper for cotton canvas bags and nicer designs.
I find them heavy
I find them very QVC.
Strathberry!!! Beautifully made, authentic (so far I've not seen any dupes) and of sterling quality!!
Speddy is not a structured bag, is very soft and malleable. I dont actually like it. Gave away the only one I had. Alma is my favorite model, together with Capucines. Neverfull is the one I'm absolutely sure I will never have :)
I have a Capucine. Adorable, little tiny red bag. Doesn’t even hold my phone. Spent $7,000 on it. Then I realized this was insanity. I’ve decided to chill on acquiring any more purses. Maybe someday I’ll be back, but for now 🤷♀️
I ended up getting into Hermes because I became bored with LV. Everyone has it and the amount of fakes are such a turn off. Plus the fact that the fakes have gotten so good that it has surpassed the original Lux brand’s quality 😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
I guess you will be shocked to know there are loads of Super fake Hermes. I see these bags all over the place. It’s insane considering how exclusive Hermes is supposed to be.
Good luck keeping the leather pristine. And finding a practical Hermes’ beyond the Lindy.
Hermes, waste of money. Save and invest that money for your future.
Foolish o spend fo hermes. You can pay a car in cash for a bag price.
Unless you're a 3 millionaire, Hermes is crazy price.
Hermes is an unethical company that treats its clientele like garbage, and I frankly find their designs both tacky and lackluster, a difficult feat to combine. "Known" for equestrian scarves done a million times over by every lux brand, every other brand does it better, "H" letter shoes, pillows, and blankets that scream "I'm a 20 year old bleach blonde with no taste, but want everyone to know I'm bougie ," and the 1940s granny Birkin bag to, again, let people know you spend lots of money but have no style of your own.
honestly I stopped carrying wallets and bags atp. They are so heavy and carrying them throughout the day, breaks my arms and hands. I just go digital or stuff a few cards and 1 lipstick in my pocket when I go out. Dont see the point in suffering carrying anything out that doesnt go in to my pocket
Coach is the BEST
I would NEVER buy fakes. Someone who knows the real item will always be able to tell immediately that it is a fake. Find yourself a good quality item from one of the hundreds of mid level leather brands. Furla, Coach, Coccinelle, Liebeskind, Longchamp, MCM.... Knowingly wearing fakes is just embarrassing IMO.
People buy fakes for numerous reasons, not just to look cool or fake it till you make it, alot of people are buying fakes because the quality of the real thing is no longer a premium product and now more and more fakes are becoming better quality, there is also the personal security aspect, some will buy an original which will sit in their walk in and they will buy a fake to go out with so if your mugged especially here in London, well they got a fake, which is also cheaper and less hassle to replace especially when you have insurance on these items. Its the same thing with watches, do you know how many people are mugged in London alone for their Rolex, Ap''s Patek's ect alot.
if the real looks fake nobody will ever care about your purchase...unless u live to impress others
@@ARUchannel1 I think people who buy fake, live to impress others more than the ones buying the real thing. They’re buying something that is fake but has the logos to make other people believe they have money. No matter how you try to justify it, it’s embarrassing
@@JakeStrada the reasoning being crime, makes no sense at all. The act of getting robbed is traumatizing. No matter if they ran away with a fake or not. Your wallet, keys and whatnot were still in that bag and will need to be replaced.
Why not then buy lesser known brands, fly under the radar and avoid all that to begin with?? Because it’s about the logo
@@melocoton7 you have a lot of opinions of how other people should feel. They should be embarrassed and traumatized. Anything else? LoL
The Speedy is anything but structured. It sags unless you put in a base shaper or purse organizer. And I’m not into LV at all. Not giving this greedy corporations a penny of my money!
Good afternoon: For it all depends on how the quality of the bag & how it looks ( outside & inside)..!! Luxury brands aren't really my forte.!!I just buy bags that are my style & look nice..!!
I love LV and I don’t buy counterfeit.
I'm not into their bags but if I had the funds, for sure I'd be buying their ready to wear and completely renew my wardrobe with their clothes. Nicolas Ghesquiere's collections for LV are superb. He's got the talent for creating modern futuristic clothes that are also romantic and feminine. He's a blooming genius!
Neverfull bag real thing or fake are no big deal imo.
Dime a dozen on the street and or Atlanta airport on any given day.
Interestingly enough they were exact price of a covid sustain check from the government .🤷🏻♀️. So really, it’s just not special.
You aren’t lying about ALT.
Or any airport for that matter lmao.
Those bags are on just about every shoulder or sitting on a carry on.
I have some brand bags but I prefer unbranded great quality leather bags that are different and everyone always asks me where I bought it.
I don’t like bags that make the name so boisterous and loud. I feel it’s tacky and loud, superficial
I always thought it be a nightmare to put a LV keepall thru baggage claim. I like Bottega Veneta carry all. Only a select few will recognize the bag.
I only buy their leather products… except for that adorable little canvass trunk purse. Had to have that
I have always found the LV logo plastered all over their products to be tacky.
I'm trying to understand why people value something more solely becaue it's out of reach financially for the majority of people. Why does that make people want something? I've seen videos where people take LV (and similar) bags apart and give an estimate of the value of the materials and labor. If you purchase a luxury bag, only a small portion of the price is actually going towards the construction of the bag. The rest is to make sure other people can't simply purchase the same bag. I don't understand the appeal.
Say what you want, I'm still an LV girl. No brand beat them on simple innovative and utilitarian design. And the canvas is durable. From the simple mini-pochette to the bandouliere keepalls, LV create useful bags. LV has discontinued and forgotten more bags than some brands have ever created.
The rich are the real knockoffs! They copy off the original, people always have! The most influential are the original people. The only people fooled by them are the masses, who never knew where designers were stealing from.
I never never liked LV bags. They looked like plastic to me. Then I found out, that many of the bags are plastic? Why would anyone want to buy a bag like that for so much money?
Loss of revenue for the luxury brands should honestly been seen as a huge plus, when comes to counterfeit watches a real negative is the money laundering done by the criminal organisations involved in them
I work as a security supervisor for the housing Authority in Los Angeles county.
Not too long ago we took into custody a transient lady who Happen to have the Louis Vuitton logo tattooed on her arm…. It was ridiculous.
It's ironic how I find a bag to look cheap and low quality when I see the LV pattern, as my brain knows a rip of design bags tends to be lower quality 😂
The labor and the high quality plastic, zipper, coating including service make luxury expensive. Same with dining at Michelin restaurants experience is incomparable to Taco Bell and McDonald's
I buy vintage LV. My mom has one from the early 1980’s.
i love how people try to put down lv and other high end brands ,,,,,, I have the money i see nothing wrong with buying what i want when i want ,,,,,,,
Omg china Town NY is full of these items but crappy
Depends where you go in nyc Chinatown.
Yeah but you always know it’s fake , what’s the point if you don’t want to buy real LV just get a nice quality non brand bag if you want
My grandmother had a large LV steamer trunk that she used in the 1920's. It was kept in her laundry room to store old linens and items. That was the housekeepers work area and yes, the trunk had the traditional LV logos all over it. In this day and age, brand logo's are for the fake rich.
You’re absolutely right
Why would you wear anything with a logo on it, unless it was super low key - that is what puzzles me regarding the actions of others.
I hate Michael Kors for the MK logo madness. Ugly, and I am not your billboard.
I like canvas pieces in damier ebene as I avoid using leather.
Exclusively ≠ luxury.
Luxury is all about the experience a product or service has to offer. Exclusively is when a small portion of a population can obtain an item.
There tends to be a big crossover between luxury goods and exclusively, but they are very different things.
Love soft quality leather but these all overpriced & stiff
People should stop lineing these companies pockets ....
I love the tough, lightweight and beautiful LV canvas. I hope others stop buying it. I don’t care. Perhaps the prices will slow the growth so I can afford more.
Brands like LV are dying because of their greed with all of the price increases during an economic downturn. Plus the snobbery with the “exclusivity “ push by trying to get rid of their entry level products and calling their customers “aspirational” 🙄👀😳🤦♀️💆🏾🫣
Actually they never made as much as today. They are VERY far from dying.
What are you talking about. Load of tripe 🙄
Just found out a bag I have had since about 2010 is not real, i have never used it was given to me along with many other items as partial payment for work on a home.. At that time it seemed a few years old already.. I am not a fashion brand person but the opposite.. Have no interest in using it myself not sure what to do with it now, I do not want to pass it on to someone whom will dupe another person..
Yes it’s a turn off to buy and own product that widely exposed to copy ….make us feel cheep 😢
Lovely documentary
I think the quality of some luxury brands has decreased over the years.
It's an overkill, to many people sport then, am not a huge fan of loud logo..
I see Kardashians and other celebrities wearing LV so I don’t think it’s going anywhere.
1.Too many rappers own LV
2.Never liked LV due to the social class.
3. The quality on the bags nowadaus has gotten disposable
LV has always been a no for me.
The LV is one of the most tacky brands out there how can you call urself luxury with the designs they come up with 🙇🏻😂
if we still adhere to this outdated notion that the authentic LVs, Chanels, etc are of the highest quality available on earth and that part of these highway-robbery prices they charge the customer is because of top notch customer service, time to rethink... super fakes are of a higher quality now than the overpriced luxury goods and the way these brands treat and regard their buyers... puhleeeze! Who's to blame then?
LV is overdone. Fakes all over the place. But people still queuing on front of LV 😁
Your first two cons are not applicable. 1) Buyers of authentic LV products have long been complaining about the price increase and quality increase of the products. They are the main purchasers of high quality dupes. Bad quality and high prices are on LV's head. 2) Buyers of low quality dupes were never possible customers of LV in the first place, as they could not have afforded the authentic pieces. LV could not 'lose' revenue that it was never going to have. Makers of 'luxury' products are slowly pricing their way out of business.
Why do you censor my comments? I've posted 3 comments about the counterfeit production and its heavy cost on our industry: All have been removed. Explain.
I dont uuy luxury items
You are just paying for the name of LV and not the quality of their bags. I would rather not buy fake items but I cannot afford the real deal so I would rather stick with COACH.
Every video you made recently just bashes brands...I don't get it
Vulgar.
Speak for yourselves I love LV
Fakes are the best !!!!
OVERPRICED, OVERRATED AND OVER SNOTTY CHEAP
All of these videos ae trying to fool you into thinking only poor people buy high end stuff .....and yes i will keep buying the real deal LV .
Jhope's ad for LV is chefs kiss
Fake is never good.
LV stole the logos from African tribes and so did Versace.
How so?
Lollll
the monogram actually comes from the “japonisme” trend of the mid 19th century (see the lotus flower), and the versace greco roman themes are obviously, well, inspired by ancient greece and the roman empire
LMBO
These brands have contributed to the counterfeit industry through their ridiculous price increases and declining quality. I would guess that very few people who buy the fakes would ever have the means to buy authentic. If the fakes make them feel confident then who am I to judge? I am quite frankly a lot more concerned with the human trafficking and Fentanyl flooding the US thru the Southern Border.
Buying fake is so tacky. Live within your means and stop craving nonsensical luxury. Are you going to impress the ppl at the grocery? Or do you go to Galas and events on a regular basis? Fake is stealing the ideas of the creators, shame on the ppl wearing fakes!!!
You are so naive!!!The brands also copies from others too.
@@danieldossantoscardoso8727 awww so you think two wrongs make a right? Ppl that are broke with fakes are so pathetic. And anyone can spot them a mile away. Posers.
