Things I Wouldn't Do In Luxury Stores |designer shopping experience Chanel Hermes Dior Louis Vuitton

- Hi guys, I'm Eileen. In this video, I shared some of the things I avoid doing in luxury stores. I used to feel really uneasy when visiting a designer store. The first luxury store I went to was Louis Vuitton, and boy, I was so nervous! Fast forward to a decade later, and some shopping addictions, the setting now feels less intimidating. While I think we should all be ourselves when shopping in luxury stores, there are certain things I personally wouldn't do. I hope this video will help you have a great experience whether if you're shopping at Hermes, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, or Cartier xx

Thank you or watching this video about things to not do in designer stores. Generally I've received really good customer service at luxury stores, apart from he time when I got shouted at in Harrods Chanel 😐. Hopefully this video will help you avoid some awkward situations. I'll also appreciate some tips on the things we shouldn't do in luxury stores xx - Навчання та стиль
I went into a TheRealReal like the physical store front not the online store (obviously) and it was kinda of wild. I had been doing something else on the block and kinda stumbled upon it. I wasn’t aware my city had one. I was dressed super casually (cut off sweatpants and a stained shirt and slides). I was still treated super well though. I felt no judgment surprisingly for my appearance. I even asked to touch a few bags including a 18,000 smooth leather Constance bag. I made it clear that it wasn’t in my price range but was still encouraged to ask to see more bags and even invited to come back. What it taught me is that these places aren’t as scary as we may think they are. I think the fear comes from internal pressure knowing the value of a dollar. I do believe that the owners of these brands would want their stores to be as inviting as possible. I’m not even sure entirely the point of my comment but I just wanted to share my experience. Oh and I’m a 6’2 360 black man and so I think it’s important to note that because I know I’m not seen as the target demographic for luxury goods especially handbags. So it’s a big deal that I felt so comfortable in the environment because if I can relax and enjoy myself I think you can too.
Interesting to know! I want to visit one of these lux stores🤷🏻♂️😩 but its gonna be windows shopping lol
I'm really glad to hear you had a nice experience! Thank you so much for sharing xx
This was such a great message, as someone with pretty bad social anxiety it made me really happy, so thank you for taking the time out of your day to write this. x
I think since these luxury shops used to judge people by their appearance and were very wrong at times ..seems they have learned their lesson.. Remember when an actress in very torn up clothes was kicked out of one of those shops by her appearance only and she very well had the money.
I actually would love to meet Eileen. Like a nice lunch with her . She’s so calming to listen to 😊
Me too 😍
Aww that's so sweet! Thank you xx
Me toooo
“If it’s not a hell yes, then it’s a no” - this is the best motto, Eileen! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 😘
Hi Eileen and all, good info - I agree with all! Shopping is an event for me, so getting dressed up is part of the experience. I did not know about the discounts, great to know!
Great points Eileen! I agree 100% with if we have to debate whether or not to get the item, we are not 100% in love with it and that is a red flag right there. Your voice is so soothing. ♥️
Thank you xx
I’m glad that you are becoming YOU.......Meaning, you are finding the deeper happiness beyond the trinkets that we adorn ourselves with to sometimes to hide our emptiness inside. But greatest pleasure is that the world will never run out of ‘’newest trinkets’’ to help us celebrate our happiness within.
I enjoy your thoughtful commentary because it shows your ‘’journey within’’ and in this journey within doesn’t allow anything materialistic but just your genuine happy self.
Yes it's an honest and valuable journey.
Always Interesting videos you publish Eileen. Thanks for the new video. /Marie from Sweden
Excellent advice, as usual! Thank you so much!
Happy to help! Thank you xx
Recently we were in Las Vegas, and for the first time ever, I went into Louis Vuitton. Until now, I have felt very intimidated! A few things struck out as different, when compared to Kate Spade, etc. Firstly, there was a queue and our names were taken and entered into a tablet. Even though there was only one or two people in the store, we were asked to wait up to 20 minutes. Upon entering the store, even though we were dressed like people who "belong", I felt quite uncomfortable. I like to pick up the items, as one does when buying things like handbags, I felt I was being closely watched. I didn't like that the prices were not readily visible, and we had to ask for the prices, which felt embarrassing. I've heard all of my life that if you have to ask, you cannot afford it. This is not the case for me, however. While I was chatting with the lady behind the counter, my husband walked to beside the counter and reached for a bag on the shelf, and I told him not to do that, because he might be yelled at! I remember in a recent video, you mentioned that had happened to you in a luxury store! All in all, I did not purchase anything from the store, even though I could afford it, and wanted to, because I found myself debating how to rationalize such an immense price, for something so seemingly frivolous! We had to walk past the Hermes store every day to get outside the hotel, and I didn't dare going in there, lol. Thank you for your insight and advice! Maybe one day I will get a LV bag!
I find the price thing extremely annoying too... customers are entitled to know. I can understand for the most exceptional pieces but for the most basic ones no.
You can always go online and check the prices, then come in store to check or try on 😊
Absolutely true and their impression that “luxury bags caters more to the middle class who wants to look rich” is insulting. Time to stop supporting these ridiculously priced handbags !!!
Thank you so much for sharing! I'm sorry you didn't have the best experience there at LV xx
@@m.h.t1286 definitely what I do! But sometimes you just happen to see something in the store and just wonder how much it costs (out of curiosity)
I tried on one pair of Chanel shoes and they had a small stain. I asked for a small discount, but they refused. I said OK, I am not paying this amount for a shoe with a defect.
Great thoughts as always 🥰
Thank you! xx
Hi, I recently found your channel.. it is really insightful.. like most people say, you have a very calming and soothing voice.. I believe your temperament would definitely be good.. have a good day..
Welcome to our lovely community, Sana xx
Hello. As you are from Malaysia, and I reside in Singapore, it is second nature to ask for discounts.😂I personally , like you, wouldn’t ask for discounts at luxury stores. I would feel too embarrassed.
I really love your common sense regarding luxury purchases. All the best.
Thanks for sharing!! Like my mum says, never ask never know lol xx
I love your bag collection and your style I have a very small wardrobe and small budget but I changed my buying habits. Some basics I buy them cheap but then I save and buy a better quality bag or other item like pants or a blazer.
I used to buy a lot of cheap clothing now I buy way less I’m careful in laundry and invest in some key good quality pieces from medium range fashion stores like Massimo Dutti (and take advantage of sales where good prices can be found almost as Primark with much better quality). Thank You for your help.
I never entered a Luxury shop we do have a tiny Hermes in Lisbon also LV and Gucci buy way out of my price range.
I love Massimo Dutti because the quality is excellent and treasures can be found during sales. I find the staff a bit more pretentious comparing to fast fashion stores…
I’ve bought (and have since sold) many mainly LV handbags. I’ve never liked the purchasing experience at LV, and more recently I’ve sworn off even entering most luxury stores
The queue at LV is always quite long too xx
@@ColourfulNoir exactly, and why exactly? To each their own, but if I’m going to spend that much, I’m not standing in line for products the production of which is artificially reduced to increase demand even further….
You are extremely classy and elegant, in your maneurism and the way you talk, you should never worry about what other people think, if anything they should take a hint from you!!!!
You're so kind, thank you xx
Thanks so much for sharing, Eileen. I never know that Cariter can offer discount on expensive items until now😅
Right?! Now I wish I had asked for discounts more often xx
My most fun experience I have shopping is always in Asia especially in Macau, Japan & South Korea. Compared to Europe & the USA, all the staff in all the shops I go to they are the best. My most recent was at Casa Loewe, Tokyo Japan (for the Spirited Away collection). Super friendly, the nicest people and they attend to me immediately whenever I visit, they remember my name too! They made sure no one had to wait. Is it the culture? I don't know but I know that I haven't shopped for any luxury brands in Europe & USA in years because I never felt like it when I enter the stores there. Ironically, their high brow, snobbish attitude actually helped me with minimalism so I am glad they indirectly helped me!
I've heard some really positive reviews about Japanese luxury stores too xx
I was in Louis Vuitton ones when a young lady walked in wearing a replica LV bag. No one said a word or reacted in any way but I did get a pleasure of watching others notice it throughout the store. Although replicas are not appreciated by many for their production practices; Authentic fashion houses are viewed the same way by others in their sales management & marketing practices. I Love "luxury" items but lately I'm having a very uncomfortable feeling about many of these houses and a wonder about others. It's not just some of the brand's employees for me but the fashion houses themselves that made me feel icky.🌼🏵🌼
Thank you so much for sharing xx
40% is a lot! Good deal! 🙏💜 I think you did great you are sensible kind person.
Back in college I got a LV on eBay n went to the boutique to get it authenticated. 😬 they said it was real but I gave it away to my cousin. Thanks for sharing my lady n happy Mother’s Day.💐💗😘😘😘Sandy
Thanks for sharing!! xx
Well depending where you shop . I been in NYC and everyone was super nice. Same in Los Angeles Hermès store where my husband purchased a scarf for me. However, I been in some places and they were very rude and not even asking to help only after I was in a store for sometimes. I think helps to dress up for sure.
If you went in and didn't buy they renumber that.
I went to Fendi and saw a wallet that I liked, it was the last one but it had a very small scratch on it. I didn’t even ask for a discount, just merely pointing it out. But the SA said they would give me a discount off the item since it was the last one! I was quite surprised!
On another occasion, I went with my friend to Versace in Macau when we were holiday and he asked for a discount and the SA gave it to him, a further 10% off!
Most SAs have the authority to allow 10% off. Any more they have to get manager's approval.
I had an experience about price adjustment in Piaget once. We bought 3 pieces together.
That's amazing! xx
I love the experience of luxury shopping in Asia especially in Taipei. Had amazing experiences both at Gucci and LV. Personal shopping experience at LV with tea service and I didn’t even have an appointment, just walk in. Special shout out to all the Asian SA. Since Covid haven’t been back. I wonder due to Covid all the stores in US make u queue and wait. Takes the fun out of spontaneous shopping.
Hi! I was in Frankfurt, Germany in June and then in Paris in December both in 2019 and then in Tokyo in February 2020. There were queues on all occasions outside of LV. And in Dior here in Brussels in October 2021, I did make an appointment and was served champagne when I purchased my ABC Lady Dior. I was also served champagne, coffee, orange juice in numerous occasions at LV in Antwerp, Belgium.
I would never think to ask for a discount, but I was offered several hundred $$ off when I purchased my Cartier watch from an authorised dealer, I was quite surprised
Must have been a nice surprise xx
Celebrities can get them for free!
I recently went into Gucci to purchase a mini Jackie in denim. The price on the tag was 1700 USD, but was ringing up at 1900 USD before tax due to price increase. The manager kindly accepted the lower price tag. It was exciting!! 😁
Wow, that's really helpful to know! Thank you for sharing xx
Legally they have to do that. You're entering into a contract and have accepted the price that was validly on the tag (not altered by a customer for instance). Failure to do so would be very bad form indeed.
@@deborahcurtis1385 That is good to know! It is now $2,200 before tax, so I guess I bought it at the perfect time 😃
Yes...we dress according to environment...(You would not wear pajamas to a Buddhist Temple!) lol
lol!! xx
Merci. Well in the usa some lv retailer when you ask for a lv bag repair. They tell you if it is real or fake. Fake lv bag they don't repair
True. But a real LV that's not been repaired by LV, they will refuse to do any further repairs, Some get caught out by this rule. Also with vintage LV they have used real solid brass but the more recent models are just gold toned not even solid brass. They will take your solid brass fittings and replace them with something inferior. I'm still thinking about what to do, I may just go to a third party who is highly regarded and get them to re-use. This reduces the value of the bag though. Never mind!
Mostly they are not really friendly if you go to LV store but with chanel bag
You can ask for 10% off at the Rolex store. But, with the long waiting list since Covid they might refuse the 10% discount.
Wow I didn't know that! Thank you for sharing xx
I went into Louis Vuitton one day and one of the customer walked toward me . He asked me to carry one of the purse and model it for him! He wants to buy it for his wife! She was my height and size! He bought the bag at the end. The SA thanked me . I left and didn’t buy anything !
What an interesting story! You did a massive favour for that nice gentleman xx
Rolex used to give discounts especially for the precious metal models. So it’s perfectly normal to enquire for discounts. However these days Rolex is always out of stock
Thank you so much for sharing xx
I like the way you speak😊
Thank you xx
I never asked them to hold unless I am 100% sure I will get the item because it is unfair.
Cas aside, confidence and courtesy are all you need when shopping for anything.
Enjoy the comments but if you are highly creative and read your on the trends there's no need to go to a luxury store and save your money instead.
BS just visit the boutique in shorts and sandals who cares
I watched just to see the content, but stopped, as it seems like such a silly video in a time where the whole world is in such a horrible state, a pandemic, inflation, gas prices, baby formula shortage, illnesses where people in countries can not get chemotherapy and then there’s the war in Ukraine. I mean really, do you think except for a small percentage of the world, this is of any importance?? #RICHPEOPLEPROBLEMS🙄🙄🙄
To be honest, I’m quite aware of the many problems in the world and sometimes, I’m depressed by it all to a certain extent. However, me dwelling in these issues won’t help to solve them or make them go away. This platform is in a way a means for entertainment and relaxation. You must care about the world problems too, but you won’t stop yourself watching TV, having a nice coffee, buying some new clothes, or indulging in a glass of champagne occasionally, would you? Life has to go on somehow and some people just choose to express it differently, just my two cents.
@@ColourfulNoir Don't bother entertaining this nonsensical comment. The person is being self righteous with their performative outrage. Enjoy your bag, I know I'll be enjoying my beautiful LV that I just purchased. We are not the reason that the world is in the shotry state it is in, we are just making the best of it. Enjoy ❤
There will never be a time where all the world is at peace and there are no crises anywhere. If we waited for such a moment to go ahead to live our lives, we would die without ever having really lived. Just because she is sharing this kind of content, doesn't mean she doesn't care or isn't doing anything productive with her life. Your self-righteousness reflects poorly on you, not Eileen.
