Now that I am older (41), I realized these luxury items aren't exclusive. Go around the mall or streets and you will see a lot of people have them. Even the birkins. Spending for these is totally a waste of money. As a woman the best way to look good is if you are fit. Anything you wear will look good on you.
@@snowmiaow that is true. I don’t deny the fact that it was one of the best phase of my academic life. It’s just sad that the way curriculums are designed, is not very focused on practical world events.
Hey patsy, i agree partially w/u on freedom...but for me its also about comfort. I want 2 be comfortable no matter what im doing. Granted for special occasions u get dressed up, so i dont mean those situations...jus regular everyday living. I strongly disagree w/his comment around 6:30 -ish , where he said everyone wants status...nope sorry, not EVERYONE!
@@toshmarie3499 Just because you refuse to be a walking advertising doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy luxury. It just means the logo is not visible. And keep in mind that luxury does not mean quality or comfort, it just means you were willing to shell out the money for something you truly liked. If you are looking for status then the reason for wearing an item changes.
@@toshmarie3499 No status counts as status! Asceticism is itself a status statement. "I don't care about status" carries a status with it. It's like, you transcend the whole status race, and therefore, you're better than the people chasing status because you're not chasing status (and therefore imply you already have it). There is no escape! We all communicate (a) status. I see these places as a tool shop. The Home Depot caters to those whose craft concerns construction. Autozone caters to those whose craft is of automotive maintenance. Balenciaga caters to those whose craft is selling envy.
The greatest luxury is freedom. Freedom of movement, freedom of choice, freedom of expression and freedom of speech. They cost nothing but are priceless qualities all human beings could learn from.

I'm glad you mentioned that when you buy items from this luxurious brands, you're paying for the status and not the materials, because people would be surprise how BAD the materials actually are.
Exactly and that was always my motto which is why I NEVER ever bought LV or any expensive brand. They are a big waste of money. I only buy Coach or Kate Spade at most. They are the best bang for the buck.
I learned my lesson early. This happened years ago, after getting my first well-paying job. I bought a Coach bag ( which cost a lot of money for my budget). I was showing it off to my mother while I filled it with things from my older (cheaper) bag. Mom only had one thing to say: "Got everything in there but all the money you spent". And I never, EVER bought anything else to impress others.
Unlike the brands mentioned in the video a number of items from Coach are actually worth the price that you pay. You can watch the various teardowns of their bags on UA-cam in particular from Tanner Leatherstein.
I did the same. After a year of working in my first “A” job, I bought a Gucci bag I thought worthy of my hard earned money. But that was a hugeee mistake. I promised to myself I would never ever buy luxury items again unless I’m a multi millionaire!!!
About 20 years ago I said to my friend do you like my leather gloves. He said "Oh are they Donna Karan?" "No they're Marks & Spencer." he sneered so i said "When I am earning Donna Karan wages I'll buy Donna Karan gloves!" Now I am earning Donna Karan wages but still don't buy the gloves, i stick to my £20 M&S gloves.
You're very smart and inspire me even more. I use to have desire for these things but at the end of the day its all about our egos and wanting validation. The truth is that the people we are trying to impress don't care when they close their front door. Lets educate ourselves ,invest and build wealth. Peace and blessings.
@@andrewamidala M&S also make the best undergarments. Their men’s slim fit, white v-neck tee shirts stay tucked inside your dress trousers and are indestructible.
Poor people cannot afford these items. Middle class comfortably off people buy them. Some people don’t have money for food, they are *not* buying these things. You insult the integrity of a genuinely poor person who has far greater things to prioritise with their impoverished bank balance like keeping a roof over their head.
I think that while the really expensive items are for the privileged and their assorted pets and family, the biggest amount of money is made from affordable wares such as accessories, perfumes and tons of makeup. Luxuries like designer wardrobe, car, yacht etc are not for the have-nots. And to even only a millionaire, a regular person is poor. That's a matter of definition.
there's a book called whispers of manifestation on borlest , and it talks about how using some secret tehniques you can attract almost everything in life it's not some bullshit law of attraction, it's the real deal
ANYTHING you pay for in life, you're not actually paying for the thing you're buying, but the feeling/emotion you get as a result. We're all buying and selling sensations.

As for Middle Eastern ppl- I'm aware they're obsessed with brands- they're just cultural sheep.

"It's the last one in stock" is a very common sales tactic, not exclusive at all to luxury brands. When helping a friend buy a laptop years ago, I heard that same sentence, first at Circuit City, then a few minutes later at Best Buy. Both salesmen made us wait a while for them to "check" if they had any still left on stock. The salesman at at Best Buy was speechless when I told him: "you still have one left? How lucky we are, because the same thing happened at Circuit City".
Tbh. It depends. Maybe it does. In my situation, it is because the supplier doesn't make it in time and basically that might be the last for new products/models got release.
Growing up in NYC, it was ALL about name brands. It was horrible and I didn’t really realize how bad it was until i moved away and spent time around people who had money but didn’t care about luxury items.
I know a fair amount of wealthy (hundreds of millions) people who don’t care about luxury at all. Caring about luxury is so ingrained in us, that being around these people feels like I’m in an alternate universe.
I’m from Newyork I felt and look great my mother taught us the importance of money and how to use it to make more money, live comfortably and donot care about luxury brands because you are keeping these designers rich. I see and as a teenager I would go to 5th Ave every Sunday look at Designer items go home buy fabric and make whatever I want…I can see anything I want
I’m from NYC and when I’m at JFK or LGA everybody’s flossing with their LV luggage but basically no other people care enough to waste money on logo luggage
If you walked out of your house with natural makeup, neutral and good-quality clothing, groomed hair and nails, and a high-quality replica Chanel, who would doubt the bag is not the real thing? It is a perception. On the contrary, if you wear wrinkled clothes and have messy hair but carry a $10,000 medium classic Chanel, everyone is going to think it is a fake.
Depends on which neighborhood you live. Any neighborhood or mall that has a LV nearby, it is not uncommon for women to have the real thing because they don't want to feel left out from their peers.

I totally agree with you. (I saw someone wearing $20 copy designer sneakers today and just found it sad - wondered about the message they wished to send, but actually were sending).
Watching this made me realize how free I am because I care zero to have any of these things!! My day, my focus is on more lasting, more important things! I care zero about status or what people think of my status. I’m freeee!!!
I agree When I drive my beaten up Honda I feel free to even leave it unlocked or with the windows down. When I drive my BMW I get so paranoid about people getting so close to it, careless drivers, parking lot accidents, and neighbors scratching it or breaking into it out of pure jealousy, so I got to Lock it every time.
Well said. When I was younger I used to be so materialistic. I wanted expensive shoes, jewelry, etc... When I met my wife almost twenty years ago she really opened my eyes up to so much more. She's all about experiences. We do very well for ourselves financially but the way we live some people wouldn't know it. We don't blow money on expensive items but we take amazing family trips. $5,000 spent on a trip making memories with our three children is so much better than buying an outfit that'll be worn out in a year or less. So many people need to enjoy life to the fullest instead of being more concerned about what they are putting on their body or feet. You'll remember the amazing trip or life experiences a lot longer than the high end fashion designer shirt
I know a lot of people who are very wealthy. The one thing they have in common is that they are well groomed, their clothes fit them well (never too baggy, nor too tight) and they don't wear anything with obvious labels.
At the last party I was at, I was wearing a 27k diamond Cartier ring. One of the party goers looked at me, eyes as wide as plates with dollar signs in them, he picked up my hand lightly and said, "New ring?" I smiled and said, "Yeah". Didn't have heart to break his bubble and tell him it was a copy I picked up for £5.50. To this day that guy thinks I'm minted. 💍
There's a french book written in multiple short stories and one of those revolves around a poor girl wanting to live the upper-class life and enjoy galas. She manages to get into it by asking a friend to lend her a jewellery ring which she was granted. But she lost that ring and felt guilty about it. She decided to cover it up and dedicate half of her life to working until she could afford to buy another ring like that. When she met her friend years after the incident, it was revealed that this ring was actually a cheap effigy...
Half the people out there wearing fakes. Just wink at everyone. I used to play around at parties. Claim my Panera was fake. Then someone says yeah yeah I see this is wrong. And then I say I’m joking it’s real just to show know one knows anything. It’s like the whole wine con. Everyone pretending along with the dog show knowing this and that. lol. What a phony life 🥲

When I see queues outside of 'luxury' stores I can only shake my head. It reminds of the Soviet era bread lines. What on earth feels luxurious about standing in line to purchase something? The extremely slow service in these stores is also off putting. Time is valuable. These tactics are not designed for high net worth individuals. None of it equates to a good customer experience; it feels more like an ordeal. I can only conclude that these brands loathe their customers.
It is really not easy to invest or trade in the financial market. I read a lot of books tried to study, watched some tutorial videos, did a little demo before funding my account and still lost a lot. The financial market could be very complicated
Hiring a professional investor is the greatest option for inexperienced and rushed for time investors, as the majority of the investment failures and losses stem from inadequate strategy. My words are based on own experience sorry for your loss
I stop buying luxury brands a year ago it’s more about how u put it together not the brand and my motto now is ..” if it’s not on sale …let it sale! “ 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
I know real rich people, including people who are either multi-millionaires, and members of a family that are actually billionaires. They do NOT use or buy these so- called 'luxury ' goods! They spend their money on art and expensive colleges for their kids!
Yeah but in the same breath, I can probably name a tens if not hundreds of millionaires and billionaires that do buy these brands. People tend to think Luxury fashion is just one-sided. You have your billionaires like Laurence Escalante who will wear every loud designer brand in the world or even middle eastern royal family members but then you have someone like Zucks and Bezos that will Brunello Cucinelli, Zegna and brands similar that are even more expensive than LV, Gucci etc...
The rich people I know (they have 4 different gigantic mansions in 4 different countries lmao) spend their money on this kinda crap 😂 and their daughter spends $500 a month just at Sephora… she’s 16 🤦♀️
One time I wanted to look around in Dior, the store was EMPTY, seriously, but they still made me wait for about 10 to 15 minutes. I could tell that the door guard was uncomfortable about it because it was SO obvious.
as a person in the marketing and pharmacy business i can tell you that it is a very good video. Words or ideas like: creating a sense of urgency, limited availabilty, social status, recognisable brand centered around the ideas and concepts, and value are very real and correct and used every day by all the shops and brands and the business. Every day we are brainwashed and manipulated to buy....and this happens for each of us from the phone, clothes that we buy up to the car or even houses
I worked for a very popular designer shoe brand and I got to see the prices that the shoes cost to make abroad. There is no way that I would ever pay the retail prices for any popular expensive brands after seeing the invoices. I have friends that like to throw out label names and how much they paid for the item when they are wearing it to impress everyone around them. However, they don't ever impress me because I know what the designer really paid for it before distributing it to retailers! 😂
If only they knew what you were thinking about them when they were disclosing the ridiculous amounts they paid for their luxury items! They will feel embarrassed . But again why bragging ??
@MyAccountForCommenting No, they are not frenemies. I just don't like to rain on people's parades. If they feel good about what they paid for it, they should be able to enjoy wearing it.
@@yoli5933 Ok. Your comment seems like you're laughing at them vs. respecting their choices (especially your last sentence where you have a laughing emoji). I suppose I just misunderstood.
Ever since I read that rich people never buy labels, it changed my mentality. They have personal tailors. It makes the whole brand thing seem completely silly.
Manufactured Scarcity & Exclusivity: Luxury brands like Louis Vuitton and Rolex deliberately limit product availability to create a sense of urgency and exclusivity, making their items more desirable. Price Priming & Status Symbolism: These brands set high prices not based on production costs but on the value of social status they project, turning their products into status symbols. Neuromarketing & Customer Experience: Brands like Balenciaga use neuromarketing to study consumer behavior and emotions, optimizing their marketing strategies, while also focusing on providing a premium customer experience to ensure loyalty and repeat purchases.
Wish people would stop promoting Balenciaga, are we just going to skip over how they were promoting BDSM accessories with children in the ads. Stop giving this company any kind of promotion on or offline it's sick.
I think that Ballenciaga is one of the brands that makes fun of people in a subtle way. Do you know the story of the emperor's new clothes? Fashion makes fun of people because on piece of clothing can look good on you but it can look horribly on me. Every body type is different.
Belenciaga designs remind me of that episode of I LOVE LUCY wherein Ricky bought Lucy a potato sack dress and horse feed bucket for a hat and stuck a designer label on it and called it high fashion.
It doesnt cost 60$ for any LV bag where are you people coming out with this bullshit from ?

Actually rich people buy more expensive stuff.There are more expensive bags and clothings that a lot of people don't know the name that are more expensive designers that are never heard of.But the poor only know LV's,gucci 's are the most expensive ones.
That is absolutely true. These "luxury" brands are pratically high market because the quality is just not there. There isn't enough top quality leather...or cashmere...for everyone. A bit like mozzarella di bufala....can't be eaten by the whole world!
"We're out of stock" is something I'd expect from a 7/11 on the corner, not a premium brand where I'm expected to pay thousands of dollars. Personally that would really cheapen the brand for me seeing how they can't even get their distribution systems working properly. But I guess it works on most of the public... smh
They’re not out of stock… They’re out of stock for you, but you already marked yourself as a sucker walking into such a place trying to buy the crap they’re trying to sell you. I’m certain that some luxury brands like Hermès actually have quality items. But the prices are still insane

I was brought up in a sophisticated family. I value high literature art etc. I would die of shame if I have to wear those tasteless clothes which screams „I have nothing to offer as a personality and character, I have such a low self esteem and I think about myself I’m worth almost nothing so I have to wear at least something which screams hey, I’m somebody because I can buy it“. I actually pity all of them a lot. They reduce themselves literally for something which can be bought for money. The obligatory „you can’t buy class or people to genuinely like you“.
Okay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the kislux book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations
Excellent! You could do more videos like this to help women and men not to spend their money with brands just to be accepted. Instead they could take all the money they would on this brands and buy properties. 😊
One property is many areas is the same price as hundreds of handbags, i.e., never gonna happen. When money isn't abundant, one handbag may life the spirits a bit.
When you pay a lot of money for a “luxury brand” and the quality is only average, or it’s even low quality, it’s fake luxury. Quite often you pay for the brand, but not for the quality. It’s not real luxury, only good marketing.
I do like pale pink and black, that is Chanel but most expensive perfume is not so great. I think Shalimar is great it dries to vanilla no other perfume does that. most perfume the dry down ( note under the perfume that stays) is awful.

I have never been a designer luxury person. However, I was at Nordstrom and fell in love with a pair of PRADA Downtown sneakers in black/white for $1100. I've had it for about 2 months now and have yet to wear them. I think the reason why I haven't worn them is because I don't have anywhere to wear them too. I intentionally bought them at Nordstrom knowing I can always return them after 30 days. 14-30 days is the typical time a designer item can be returned at any other store. Anyway, I plan on returning them. I really really love the sneakers,, but the branding is too much. I mean, its nicely done, but I am not a logo, monogram, branding person. They look so good on. They are a clean elevated look of the Nike Dunks.

*New Subscriber* : That was very interesting summary (for the type of products covered). Especially in Asia where it's harder to stand out from the crowd, this works a treat (in Hong Kong they have a velvet rope outside the Gucci store, and yet there's only one customer inside). If you're insecure enough that you needed branded goods, you need to ask yourself why. In clothing, I buy _nothing_ that has a brand on it for formal/ casual wear where I can avoid it. Some things are well made, but still with a very high profit margin ( think Saville Row hand made suits ). But other items are not so well made, and have a price based on the halo effect. That is not value for money, and so I would never have it. But 90% of the clothes/ accessories I buy ( and I've really cut back to buy quality and maintain them well ) I buy on sale. Even at a 50% discount, they are still make money. I wait for the "Extra 10%" in the sale. If the item I wanted is gone, I don't care as I wouldn't buy it without that discount on the already 50% discounted price. It becomes a fun game in a way. If you buy classic pieces, they never go out of fashion
Funny enough, the popular luxury brands like LV, Gucci (although they're getting back to quality) & Prada, Balenciaga etc..., when I used to buy their clothes or accessories, they would peel very quickly. When I started wearing Brunello Cucinelli, Thom Brown, Tom Ford, Zegna, Zilli, Brioni, the quality is through the roof. They're going to last you years and still look AND fit like it's brand new. It's like the popular brands take the same approach as fast fashion but just charge ridiculous markups. So I don't believe luxury brands are rip offs, I believe you just have to know what you're buying in terms of quality vs paying for the brand name and that's when I realised there are two sides to Luxury fashion. One sides prioritises hype, exclusivity and branding, that's your Gucci, LV, Balenciaga, Prada etc... The other side prioritises quality, structure, fit and longevity, I mentioned some of them earlier. You can find a Hoodie for $200 that is more quality than a $800 hoodie at the same time you can find an $800 hoodie that is impossible to find at a lower price-point unless you make it yourself, it all comes down to the brands objective & purpose. Again, some brands prioritise hype, branding and exclusive drops more than quality and that's how they justify their price-point, while you can have another brand at the same price-point that solely prioritises the quality, structure, fit and longevity of their clothing and that's how they justify the exact same price point. It all comes down to if you know what you're buying.

It’s like some toxic "friends" and colleagues, the more you "want" them to be your "friends", the less they are interested in you. So why bother at all. 😂
Actually it’s much deeper than that. Humans are primally wired to seek after strength and wholeness. Anything that gives off the impression of need/lack/want/desire doesn’t show “Strength/wholeness” to a certain type of people. People that do resonate with someone that needs help are either genuinely good people or someone with an ulterior motive. Ultimately be you, ask for help when necessary, and don’t beg anyone for attention. You’re worth more than that.
This is why so many true Rolex collectors give up.. the AD's gatekeep everything. They always have plenty of stock in the safes. They just refuse to sell to anyone who hasn't been properly vetted. Such a horrible business model. They make you feel bad for wanting to spend your hard earned money on their product.
I’m not rich but the second I see someone with a flashy item, my first thought is “oh, who made you feel so small as a child that you need strangers to awe at you?”
I love designer and fly things,i'm a boutique owner, I shop solely at the outlets in Germany, France and Italy, they make me feel good and i can afford them,when i couldn't i didn’t even go near those stores,buy what you can afford, enjoy your life 🎉🎉
@@kirbysaurus5670 They have watches in stock for sale. It simply depends on who you are, on how much the salesman/AD likes you and on which city it is. Just try smaller ADs and sometimes you'll be able to buy something spontaneously.
He is telling the truth . I worked luxury retail for years. I even did an experiment , using an average run of the mill navy blazer to show how gullible customers can be. I pretended to be a customer who was desperate to have this navy blazer. The other customers stopped browsing , came over to see the blazer and began to argue about who should try it on and buy it.
It’s a reason why they send big time rap artists free clothes but don’t do the for rock musicians they know who gonna feel like they need it to feel important or successful.
Sabri, this video is absolutely on point! 🎯 I started listening to your audiobook during my commute and was immediately hooked. 🎧 The way you break down complex marketing strategies, especially how the top 5 luxury brands brainwash the masses, is nothing short of brilliant. 🧠 I've been taking screenshots of key moments to review later and highlight them in the printed copy, as your insights are incredibly valuable. 📚 The way you present these concepts is so clear and engaging-none of those other so-called "sales gurus" even come close! 💪 Your ability to cut through the noise and deliver actionable advice is what sets you apart. 🚀 Curious-what's your take on how these luxury brands maintain their mystique in an increasingly transparent digital world? 🌐 Thanks for sharing your expertise! 🙏
There is a difference between media representation and physical store presence. Their stores are everywhere in the world. You can access it anytime online. There is no such thing as mystic in business. Only mystic advertising. For example, their ads do not promote," Please buy me or its sale time." All their ads just reinforce brand name. No call to action at all. Or events to make the brand top of mind.
I adore you for making this video! Not that i care for these brands, or fall for them (the ridiculous price tags turn me off. im ready to pay for quality and craftmanship - for what it's worth, but not for status), but love the video! appreciate it. Smart.
I am in upper middle class and never never will buy these stuffs. I prefer to buy knock offs, imitation at cheap prices. No way my money go to blood suckers

Now that I am older (41), I realized these luxury items aren't exclusive. Go around the mall or streets and you will see a lot of people have them. Even the birkins.

I strongly disagree w/his comment around 6:30 -ish , where he said everyone wants status...nope sorry, not EVERYONE!
@@toshmarie3499 Just because you refuse to be a walking advertising doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy luxury. It just means the logo is not visible. And keep in mind that luxury does not mean quality or comfort, it just means you were willing to shell out the money for something you truly liked. If you are looking for status then the reason for wearing an item changes.
@@toshmarie3499 No status counts as status! Asceticism is itself a status statement. "I don't care about status" carries a status with it. It's like, you transcend the whole status race, and therefore, you're better than the people chasing status because you're not chasing status (and therefore imply you already have it). There is no escape! We all communicate (a) status.
I see these places as a tool shop. The Home Depot caters to those whose craft concerns construction. Autozone caters to those whose craft is of automotive maintenance. Balenciaga caters to those whose craft is selling envy.
Same.
The greatest luxury is freedom. Freedom of movement, freedom of choice, freedom of expression and freedom of speech. They cost nothing but are priceless qualities all human beings could learn from.

I learned my lesson early. This happened years ago, after getting my first well-paying job. I bought a Coach bag ( which cost a lot of money for my budget). I was showing it off to my mother while I filled it with things from my older (cheaper) bag. Mom only had one thing to say: "Got everything in there but all the money you spent". And I never, EVER bought anything else to impress others.
Moms rule.
Unlike the brands mentioned in the video a number of items from Coach are actually worth the price that you pay. You can watch the various teardowns of their bags on UA-cam in particular from Tanner Leatherstein.
I did the same. After a year of working in my first “A” job, I bought a Gucci bag I thought worthy of my hard earned money. But that was a hugeee mistake. I promised to myself I would never ever buy luxury items again unless I’m a multi millionaire!!!
@@sefer-nv6cn I have a couple of Coach bags that were gifts & they are well-made.
@@LubLey True! We did learn. But let me say one word: Poshmark. I found a gorgeous Liebskind Berlin bag for under $30, Best thing ever! LOL
About 20 years ago I said to my friend do you like my leather gloves.
He said "Oh are they Donna Karan?"
"No they're Marks & Spencer." he sneered so i said "When I am earning Donna Karan wages I'll buy Donna Karan gloves!"
Now I am earning Donna Karan wages but still don't buy the gloves, i stick to my £20 M&S gloves.
If he couldn't tell the difference, there probably isn't one!
You're very smart and inspire me even more. I use to have desire for these things but at the end of the day its all

Poor people cannot afford these items. Middle class comfortably off people buy them. Some people don’t have money for food, they are *not* buying these things. You insult the integrity of a genuinely poor person who has far greater things to prioritise with their impoverished bank balance like keeping a roof over their head.
I think that while the really expensive items are for the privileged and their assorted pets and family, the biggest amount of money is made from affordable wares such as accessories, perfumes and tons of makeup.
Luxuries like designer wardrobe, car, yacht etc are not for the have-nots. And to even only a millionaire, a regular person is poor. That's a matter of definition.

"It's the last one in stock" is a very common sales tactic, not exclusive at all to luxury brands.
When helping a friend buy a laptop years ago, I heard that same sentence, first at Circuit City, then a few minutes later at Best Buy.
Both salesmen made us wait a while for them to "check" if they had any still left on stock.
The salesman at at Best Buy was speechless when I told him: "you still have one left? How lucky we are, because the same thing happened at Circuit City".
By online and avoid this nonsense.
Tbh. It depends. Maybe it does. In my situation, it is because the supplier doesn't make it in time and basically that might be the last for new products/models got release.
Growing up in NYC, it was ALL about name brands. It was horrible and I didn’t really realize how bad it was until i moved away and spent time around people who had money but didn’t care about luxury items.
YES!!! I grew up a New York also and it was all about the appearance you had money
I know a fair amount of wealthy (hundreds of millions) people who don’t care about luxury at all. Caring about luxury is so ingrained in us, that being around these people feels like I’m in an alternate universe.
I’m from Newyork I felt and look great my mother taught us the importance of money and how to use it to make more money, live comfortably and donot care about luxury brands because you are keeping these designers rich. I see and as a teenager I would go to 5th Ave every Sunday look at Designer items go home buy fabric and make whatever I want…I can see anything I want
I’m from NYC and when I’m at JFK or LGA everybody’s flossing with their LV luggage but basically no other people care enough to waste money on logo luggage
Same, I've seen people from the projects blow all their money on luxury brand names
If you walked out of your house with natural makeup, neutral and good-quality clothing, groomed hair and nails, and a high-quality replica Chanel, who would doubt the bag is not the real thing? It is a perception. On the contrary, if you wear wrinkled clothes and have messy hair but carry a $10,000 medium classic Chanel, everyone is going to think it is a fake.
Depends on which neighborhood you live. Any neighborhood or mall that has a LV nearby, it is not uncommon for women to have the real thing because they don't want to feel left out from their peers.
You still attach you heart by buying those replica Chanel.
If you leave those brand even the replica, you have won and escape from the matrix.

Well said. When I was younger I used to be so materialistic. I wanted expensive shoes, jewelry, etc... When I met my wife almost twenty years ago she really opened my eyes up to so much more. She's all about experiences. We do very well for ourselves financially but the way we live some people wouldn't know it. We don't blow money on expensive items but we take amazing family trips. $5,000 spent on a trip making memories with our three children is so much better than buying an outfit that'll be worn out in a year or less. So many people need to enjoy life to the fullest instead of being more concerned about what they are putting on their body or feet. You'll remember the amazing trip or life experiences a lot longer than the high end fashion designer shirt

She decided to cover it up and dedicate half of her life to working until she could afford to buy another ring like that.

When I see queues outside of 'luxury' stores I can only shake my head. It reminds of the Soviet era bread lines. What on earth feels luxurious about standing in line to purchase something? The extremely slow service in these stores is also off putting. Time is valuable. These tactics are not designed for high net worth individuals. None of it equates to a good customer experience; it feels more like an ordeal. I can only conclude that these brands loathe their customers.
The businesses and customers have BIG EGOS.
The staff have even. Bigger egos sad ppl

You are so right...
I worked for a very popular designer shoe brand and I got to see the prices that the shoes cost to make abroad. There is no way that I would ever pay the retail prices for any popular expensive brands after seeing the invoices. I have friends that like to throw out label names and how much they paid for the item when they are wearing it to impress everyone around them. However, they don't ever impress me because I know what the designer really paid for it before distributing it to retailers! 😂

Ever since I read that rich people never buy labels, it changed my mentality. They have personal tailors. It makes the whole brand thing seem completely silly.
Manufactured Scarcity & Exclusivity: Luxury brands like Louis Vuitton and Rolex deliberately limit product availability to create a sense of urgency and exclusivity, making their items more desirable.
Price Priming & Status Symbolism: These brands set high prices not based on production costs but on the value of social status they project, turning their products into status symbols.
Neuromarketing & Customer Experience: Brands like Balenciaga use neuromarketing to study consumer behavior and emotions, optimizing their marketing strategies, while also focusing on providing a premium customer experience to ensure loyalty and repeat purchases.
That's what the video said. Lol
WHEN THEY ASSIGN PERSONAL ATTENDANTS TO WALK-IN CUSTOMERS, MANY OF THEM WOULD FEEL AWKWARD ABOUT BUYING NOTHING BEFORE LEAVING THE STORE.
Wish people would stop promoting Balenciaga, are we just going to skip over how they were promoting BDSM accessories with children in the ads. Stop giving this company any kind of promotion on or offline it's sick.
Absolutely
Agree with you about that even Zara🫣🤮
I think that Ballenciaga is one of the brands that makes fun of people in a subtle way. Do you know the story of the emperor's new clothes? Fashion makes fun of people because on piece of clothing can look good on you but it can look horribly on me. Every body type is different.

Designer clothes always used to be made in Italy. 🇮🇹 Now it’s places like Vietnam and Turkey, I wonder why? This is pure fleecing and exclusivity marketing. Obviously, they don’t want everyone buy the same stuff, losing its appeal. But are you telling me a Hermes Birkin bag costs more than a £1000 to make that retails for £10K plus?

Honestly, saying you are guaranteed to earn more than a 4 year degree is pretty misleading. I have no doubt that it can work out, thats why people like him exist, but there are so many people who couldn't do ut his way, I just started an econometrics study and if you are somewhat good with it you can expect to earn around 200-300k as an employee, I know this because I've spoken with people who have done exactly that.

Once I learned about luxury marketing....i saved a ton of money....🙂
TJ Max and Marshall have luxury goods at discounted prices. Our favorite stores.
tk maxx have branded goods made of cheap materials so you are just buying a name! Thats their marketing tactic!
Feelings are not rational and that is why it is important to be aware of them. I still get my dopamine rushes every once in a while but I do it at the thrift store! LOLOL
I'm retired. I found the "Chase" for an item was the rush. Once acquired it turned shorting into "Why did I buy this?"
I get my rush from finding a treasure at the thrift stores for Pennie’s on the dollar.😂😂😊
'THE NATIONAL THRIFT DAY' IS COMING UP (IN THE US). KEEP IT UP.
Poppin tags!
Absolutely!! I thridt about once a month. Last find was a brand new with tags, dreamy summer dress with pockets, fits like it was made for me, at a thrift store, half price!!!!

Actually rich people buy more expensive stuff.There are more expensive bags and clothings that a lot of people don't know the name that are more expensive designers that are never heard of.But the poor only know LV's,gucci 's are the most expensive ones.
💯
That is absolutely true. These "luxury" brands are pratically high market because the quality is just not there. There isn't enough top quality leather...or cashmere...for everyone. A bit like mozzarella di bufala....can't be eaten by the whole world!
Exactly.
The really rich stuff never has a massive logo, its vulgar.
Nah. Wealthy people wear these brands but will pay a few thousand for a very well made copy.
"We're out of stock" is something I'd expect from a 7/11 on the corner, not a premium brand where I'm expected to pay thousands of dollars. Personally that would really cheapen the brand for me seeing how they can't even get their distribution systems working properly.
But I guess it works on most of the public... smh
They’re not out of stock… They’re out of stock for you, but you already marked yourself as a sucker walking into such a place trying to buy the crap they’re trying to sell you. I’m certain that some luxury brands like Hermès actually have quality items. But the prices are still insane
There's a real business opportunity here for someone to sell an inventory system to these companies
@@mpogaraNo there isn’t. It’s done BY DESIGN which means ON PURPOSE. That’s hour they play you helping you to THINK you’re getting something exclusive & almost gone 😮 it’s for STUPID people
@@sweetpeace5 There are watches in the back. They're not bringing out watches for some random dude they don't know that has two broke kids with him. It's called qualifying the customer. Had he plopped a duffle bag of cash onto the counter, they suddenly would have had inventory.
@@sweetpeace5 mpogara was most likely sarcastic.
I am currently working on the holiday campaign of one the first three brands you talked about and let me tell you I have never ever seen such a crazy budget for something that will be running for 3 weeks. I don’t think i have seen such numbers written on an official document. I don’t think people realise that more than 3/4 of a luxurious item’s price goes simply for marketing.
we want what we can't have, we want exclusivity, we want quality and we want status ... we are human beings.
We want to be validated etc.
Even OUD/AGARWOOD the world's most expensive wood inside their products are fake because they don't have the budget to buy the real ingredient like our family real pure wild very old hundreds of years OUD trees on our family private land, I had contacted them since 2018
You forgot “we are brainwashed and gullible”
No, not all people. Stupid people who think materialism matters. It doens't.
Buying thing doesn't make you exclusive. Luxury brands are not quality, at least not in todays age.. status can turn on you.
I was brought up in a sophisticated family. I value high literature art etc. I would die of shame if I have to wear those tasteless clothes which screams „I have nothing to offer as a personality and character, I have such a low self esteem and I think about myself I’m worth almost nothing so I have to wear at least something which screams hey, I’m somebody because I can buy it“. I actually pity all of them a lot.
They reduce themselves literally for something which can be bought for money. The obligatory „you can’t buy class or people to genuinely like you“.
🎉wonderfully stated 👏 👌 🙌
Brilliant 😂😂😂
Okay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the kislux book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations
Excellent! You could do more videos like this to help women and men not to spend their money with brands just to be accepted. Instead they could take all the money they would on this brands and buy properties. 😊
Or stocks of the brand
One property is many areas is the same price as hundreds of handbags, i.e., never gonna happen. When money isn't abundant, one handbag may life the spirits a bit.
Or you can buy both.
Exactly

Damn, this is a huge masterclass with so many nuggets. Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome 👊🏽
When you pay a lot of money for a “luxury brand” and the quality is only average, or it’s even low quality, it’s fake luxury. Quite often you pay for the brand, but not for the quality.
It’s not real luxury, only good marketing.
you’re literally my comfort person i love you kislux !
The whole point of being a luxury brand, I think, besides quality and the history of each high-end brand that creates leverage, is exclusivity.
I do like pale pink and black, that is Chanel but most expensive perfume is not so great. I think Shalimar is great it dries to vanilla no other perfume does that. most perfume the dry down ( note under the perfume that stays) is awful.
True
And what does this exclusivity get me 😂? I once heard "tge rich buy assets that make them richer, the poor buy liabilities that mak them poorer". For me those luxury brand products are liabilities
Actually imo, one of the best more “premium” brands Is coach. It’s not as expensive as the top designer brands, but the quality is absolutely there. They use real good quality leather, have some nice modern but also very classy designs, and their stores and staff are very friendly.
Coach, D&B, and Michael Kors are considered upscale not luxury. Going from Coach to LV is like Jumping from Acura to Mercedes.
@@gary.s7759 Mercedes? compared Mercedes with Lexus ignore the brand and compare parts lol
@@gary.s7759 that’s why I added that it’s a “premium brand” not a designer brand. Their prices also vastly vary in price much like Micheal kors. There’s those cheap Micheal kors bags u can find at Ross for like 80 bucks and the ones they carry in their stores that are 1000+. So I agree that they aren’t at the tier of a true fashion house. However, I would say newer Acura vehicles do complete very well with Mercedes (except for the S class)
@@gary.s7759 wait I just noticed u said D&B is not either. Ok I gotta disagree with this one, dolce and Gabbana is definitely a true designer brand imo. With both their quality, designs, and pricing.
@@gary.s7759 Mercedes SUCK. You get crap service from Mercedes dealers. Service is EXPENSIVE & overpriced. I wouldn't drive a Mercedes if you paid me. My father once said, when I become rich, I will drive a Mercedes. Now that he is rich, he realizes the game & no longer desires a Mercedes. He rides in a chauffeured Tesla. Teslas have close to no maintenance; no spark plugs, no oil changes, no timing belts, etc. I plug my car in & recharge for free most places. Mercedes can go to hell.
I have never been a designer luxury person. However, I was at Nordstrom and fell in love with a pair of PRADA Downtown sneakers in black/white for $1100. I've had it for about 2 months now and have yet to wear them. I think the reason why I haven't worn them is because I don't have anywhere to wear them too. I intentionally bought them at Nordstrom knowing I can always return them after 30 days. 14-30 days is the typical time a designer item can be returned at any other store. Anyway, I plan on returning them. I really really love the sneakers,, but the branding is too much. I mean, its nicely done, but I am not a logo, monogram, branding person. They look so good on. They are a clean elevated look of the Nike Dunks.
Forever 21 and H&M are luxury hidden gems that have sales!
They are beating Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Hermés, Valentino, and Balenciaga out of business, giving them a run for their money!
Facts
Lies
@gary.s7759 NO. It is actually true!
@SACULV4918 interesting if that is true. Most Forever 21 in my area shut down. I know that recently they partnered with Shein.
But horrible quality forever 21, H&M and many more BUT to their defense they don’t claim to be good quality. They are brands for people who want a lot of items of any quality vs fewer pieces of excellent quality.

Trust me, there’s watches in the back. You just don’t have an established buying history with that dealer for them to bring any out. It’s all a scam now
Exactly. Just like getting a Birkin bag at Hermès. You can't walk in and buy one. It's ridiculous.
lovely watches there at Cartier, but in the real world that might trigger a theft, the more brilliant men I even met as a reporter had TIMEX watches, do they still make that bargain watch. it is consistent. and the plated Diamonique earrings or big flashy ring, that is not a bad idea! FUN and you do not cry if it goes missing.
Even OUD/AGARWOOD the world's most expensive wood inside their products are fake because they don't have the budget to buy the real ingredient like our family real pure wild very old hundreds of years OUD trees on our family private land, I had contacted them since 2018
It's not a scam; it's qualifying. Had he pulled out a duffle bag of cash, they would have been bringing out watches left and right.
My mom had good advice for people that want to impress with anything but their character, “You wouldn’t worry about what people thought of you if you knew how little they did.”
Never a fan of luxury brands or goods, but this is ridiculous! I now understand the trends about luxury brands and good thing I have never patronized any. And seeing famous vloggers once they get successful, that they firstly splurge on luxe goods before anything else. No offense to those who truly love luxury goods, but for me these are not worth it.

You are a very wise man! Only insecure and vain people care about brands! You don't need to buy overpriced items to look good! I have around 30k in savings , that I'm trying to save more to invest. Most of my clothes are from H&M, I only spend more money in shoes or trainers for obvious reasons . I would never spend money in something so futile because it won't make me feel better but stupid .
It's a shame that poor people can't see it . That's another reason to not but them , they want to make it exclusive but you see these brands everywhere and worn by anyone .

*New Subscriber* : That was very interesting summary (for the type of products covered). Especially in Asia where it's harder to stand out from the crowd, this works a treat (in Hong Kong they have a velvet rope outside the Gucci store, and yet there's only one customer inside). If you're insecure enough that you needed branded goods, you need to ask yourself why. In clothing, I buy _nothing_ that has a brand on it for formal/ casual wear where I can avoid it. Some things are well made, but still with a very high profit margin ( think Saville Row hand made suits ). But other items are not so well made, and have a price based on the halo effect. That is not value for money, and so I would never have it. But 90% of the clothes/ accessories I buy ( and I've really cut back to buy quality and maintain them well ) I buy on sale. Even at a 50% discount, they are still make money. I wait for the "Extra 10%" in the sale. If the item I wanted is gone, I don't care as I wouldn't buy it without that discount on the already 50% discounted price. It becomes a fun game in a way. If you buy classic pieces, they never go out of fashion
The diamond industry does the same. Great video!
Funny enough, the popular luxury brands like LV, Gucci (although they're getting back to quality) & Prada, Balenciaga etc..., when I used to buy their clothes or accessories, they would peel very quickly. When I started wearing Brunello Cucinelli, Thom Brown, Tom Ford, Zegna, Zilli, Brioni, the quality is through the roof. They're going to last you years and still look AND fit like it's brand new. It's like the popular brands take the same approach as fast fashion but just charge ridiculous markups. So I don't believe luxury brands are rip offs, I believe you just have to know what you're buying in terms of quality vs paying for the brand name and that's when I realised there are two sides to Luxury fashion.
One sides prioritises hype, exclusivity and branding, that's your Gucci, LV, Balenciaga, Prada etc... The other side prioritises quality, structure, fit and longevity, I mentioned some of them earlier.
You can find a Hoodie for $200 that is more quality than a $800 hoodie at the same time you can find an $800 hoodie that is impossible to find at a lower price-point unless you make it yourself, it all comes down to the brands objective & purpose. Again, some brands prioritise hype, branding and exclusive drops more than quality and that's how they justify their price-point, while you can have another brand at the same price-point that solely prioritises the quality, structure, fit and longevity of their clothing and that's how they justify the exact same price point. It all comes down to if you know what you're buying.
Now that I’m older and wiser about money management i shop at Ross,Marshals,and Burlington coat factory,my bank account stays full and i never max my credit card out,if i was this frugal back in my younger days i would have being rich at this point in my life.

It’s like some toxic "friends" and colleagues, the more you "want" them to be your "friends", the less they are interested in you. So why bother at all. 😂
Actually it’s much deeper than that. Humans are primally wired to seek after strength and wholeness. Anything that gives off the impression of need/lack/want/desire doesn’t show
“Strength/wholeness” to a certain type of people.
People that do resonate with someone that needs help are either genuinely good people or someone with an ulterior motive.
Ultimately be you, ask for help when necessary, and don’t beg anyone for attention. You’re worth more than that.

Rolex actually does have watches to sell in stock at the store. It’s just that you’re not at the front of the waiting list to be called to buy it.

There is a difference between media representation and physical store presence. Their stores are everywhere in the world. You can access it anytime online. There is no such thing as mystic in business. Only mystic advertising. For example, their ads do not promote," Please buy me or its sale time." All their ads just reinforce brand name. No call to action at all. Or events to make the brand top of mind.
