Great comparison video! I learned a lot. The difference in the thickness was readily apparent when you pointed it out. Both are beautiful. Thank you for the sharing 💖💖💖💖
Thanks for sharing! There's nothing wrong with buying made-for-outlet items as long as people are informed! I'm hoping to get up to the Chicago outlet soon (I'm in MO).
Thanks gorgeous! I only get boutique items from the Gucci Outlet! I ask my SA everytime! I only got one Gucci Outlet item! Nothing wrong with outlets as they tend to be more colorful and playful.
Everyone says that if it comes in plastic and not a dust bag, it’s fake. You are the only person who has debunked that. It just means it’s from the outlet! I thought I had gotten a fake wallet, even after I was shown the receipt, but the packaging was exactly like yours with the brown sticker. I feel so much better now. Thank you!
People just jump to conclusions and never do their own research... even LV comes with plastic sometimes especially if the item was sent for repair... Goyard always has plastic as well. Glad you're received now and don't have a fake. TFW & Commenting 🧡
Definitely agree. Nothing wrong as long as we all know it’s a different product and let’s be honest the quality is quite lower. I still bought a bag from the Kate Spade outlet like two months ago knowing exactly what I’m getting and I’m very happy with my purchase even if they lowered the quality a bit. My bag it’s still a beauty
I got a bag in the microguccissma and fell for the outlet scam! still love the bag bit bought it under the assumption that it was from a boutique! thanks for making a video about this!
I saw a CBC video where they were showing shoppers on the street (outside outlets) what the differences were and a few people were pissed because they felt misled. The argument was that the brands weren't making it clear that the outlet items were of inferior quality.
@@AvyFerg It's all a bunch of ridiculous BULLSHIT and I HATE that these certain brands have RUINED the outlook on outlet stores or have and continue to mislead people. Really bothers me! TFW & Commenting 💖
Hmmm that's a very interesting comparison! I am on the hunt for the retail key pouch in the Guccisima leather, since I have a wallet in that leather and it's so hardy! I'm heading to the outlet today to look at one in the micro guccisima leather, and I am curious to see how much thinner it is!
I love the micro Guccisima! It’s less obvious and it’s cute. Although your card holder in black is much nicer💗 I did a video about my micro guccisima Boston bag. Thanks for the info!!
I mean its very typical for luxury brands to this becuase they need to cut the cost of the pieces for outlet. So its nothing new and they also change up the design to seperate the items from their boutique counterparts(thats what i learned when i worked in vacaville outlets and working in bloomingdale's)(i also worked in other luxury stores as well in my college years). Typically these outlet items often have "siblings" in the boutique store. Also fendi, prada, and any other luxury designers that have outlets do make items specifically for outlet too. I love your content and keep it up.
So what about when you buy these items from stores like Nordstrom and Saks? Is the quality boutique or outlet? I’m new to your channel and have so many questions now🤦🏾♀️
I like your videos, but I have to say this one is misleading. I bought a micro guccisima (smaller GG like your orange card holder) full size wallet in a Gucci boutique in 2013. Clearly, not all micro guccicima items are for outlet only. I later bought a pink card holder with bigger GG (the same one as your black card holder except the color) in 2014 or 2015. The SA told me that they don't make the micro anymore.
Those outlet even get lines from tourists people thinking they are getting a good deal. Little so they know they are getting ripped off. The security people treat them like they are doing them a favor for letting them in.
So disappointed ... I'll be in Italy for June and I was about to go to the mall in Florence but with this I don't know ... Or the quality will be better in Europe?
Great video and very informative! Can I just share some pronunciation tips with you? Boutique is pronounced BOO-teek (French) and Guccissima is pronounces Goo CHEEY ssi MA. Have you ever heard an Italian say bellissima? Its inspired by that!
Lord, that feels like cheating! I mean I’m sure it’s still in the top 5% of quality controlled leather... I only purchase boutique, but I LOVE watching those videos! Isn’t the guccisima just divine? I just bought a zip card holder on a whim to throw my keys in haha.
Definitely! I just feel like people should know and also there is certainly a difference in quality between the 2 items but still of course fabulous nevertheless. Congratulations on your new purchase! TFW 💖
Thank god i watched this video i was going to purchase a bag from overstock.com but it was an outlet version which they made it more expensive . I rather save and wait longer to get it at dept stores.
@@JoshieMichael u can actually find gucci bags (boutique versions) at ruelala.com, gilt.com and farfetch.com for a discounted price. It's not alot but still is something
I wanted a Kate Spade outlet bag but I’m going to save up for the quality 😪 I’m disappointed but good thing I didn’t buy one because I have more money to save up!
I’m only coming across this now and yes there are differences between outlet vs boutique in some brands but not all. I don’t really feel that this was a true representation of this. You are only basing it off of “thickness” sure they are of different thickness but they are two different colors two different design stamps. There’s nothing really concrete here
Clearly you didn't watch this entire video. I purchased this MYSELF at the Gucci Outlet Boutique in Chicago from Peter my SA. I know exactly what I'm talking about thank you very much.
Joshie Michael I did watch the entire thing. I don’t see how you purchasing yourself makes any difference in it though I didn’t even question that. Even still. I would have thought if someone were really comparing quality, there would have been some mention of what exactly was different in materials do they actively use lesser quality leather? Cheaper hardware if it’s a different piece? The craftsmanship as a whole? There just could have been more information to appropriately represent boutique vs outlet. The point of the comment was to say it would be nice to have this be a bit more in depth but instead we are looking at it as an attack

Honestly nothing wrong with outlet products. Buy what you can and what fits your lifestyle.
Definitely agree.

I doubt I would have noticed the difference, but when you pointed it out, I could see it!

Absolutely TFW 💖
This makes me wonder about the differences with other luxury store outlets! Great content!
From what I've seen it's all allegedly the same.... They ALL Trying to trick everyone! 🤬
TFW 💖 💖💖
Bingo.

Oh wow!
3:23 "Yes, I keep that crap" lmao
ALL OF IT DAMNIT! 🤣 I ended up selling it because it bugged me that it was "outlet" and felt cheaper than my Boutique ones.
Great comparison, quick question. are the Gucci Outlet items made in Italy as well?
YES! TFW 💖💖💖
I love the micro Guccisima! It’s less obvious and it’s cute. Although your card holder in black is much nicer💗 I did a video about my micro guccisima Boston bag. Thanks for the info!!

Wow! Didn't know top of the line handbags have outlets?
@@caligirl00 yup! Burberry, Prada, and Gucci have outlets in Chicago.
Question. What about the lining. Is the outlet lining fabric inside the slots? Is the boutique lined in leather?
So what about when you buy these items from stores like Nordstrom and Saks? Is the quality boutique or outlet? I’m new to your channel and have so many questions now🤦🏾♀️
Boutique so no worries! 💙
@@JoshieMichael how about Browns ? Outlet quality or Botique ?

Very interesting. I don’t know anything about Gucci so I appreciate the info. TFS. Xoxo KIT 🤗

HA 🤣
This makes me a little bit mad 😡 because I bought a belt and it feels way different than the boutique one 😕
Yup. Exactly!!!
Cheaper price cheaper quality.
@@dm-to1ic Precisely
at retail stores you get "Leather" and at outlets you get "Genuine Leather" lmao
Ahhhh hahahaha
So disappointed ...
I'll be in Italy for June and I was about to go to the mall in Florence but with this I don't know ...
Or the quality will be better in Europe?
Just don't buy any "Outlet" items.
@@JoshieMichael 😪💔
TJ max had the black key holder $ 199 last yrs
No way! That's Awesome TFW 💖
So, is factory outlet authentic?
Yes
Does Chanel have Outlets too?
Not in the US
Thanks for the tips!!!! So helpful 😁
Absolutely TFW 💖
Great content! Thanks for the information.
TFW 💖 MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄
I actually like the smaller print better. Good video.
Excellent comparison!
TFW 💖
This bow-teak pronunciation is driving me crazy!
Me Too LOL
Great video and very informative! Can I just share some pronunciation tips with you? Boutique is pronounced BOO-teek (French) and Guccissima is pronounces Goo CHEEY ssi MA. Have you ever heard an Italian say bellissima? Its inspired by that!
LoL Thank You! I'm very Midwestern! TFW 💖
Thank u soooo much for the info xoxox
