Quality is such a big issue , there is definitely a swing towards more mid priced brands based on longevity and therefore value for money . I have bought high end items in the past only to find they have out performed lesser known , lower priced but still very well made items !!!
100% Historically, the whole point of "luxury" is high quality. It's hand made artisans, and the lifetime guarantee. Now brands are relying on their brand name to carry them and sell cheap $10 t-shirts at a premium. There are a lot of mid to lower end brands reintroducing this quality concept and making people look elsewhere

I don't understand influencers that buy 8 Hermes handbags and brag about it, and then return it after once they filmed content. As a consumer, do you think I am so shallow to follow them?
I'd assume this is for views, a lot of social media behaviour is driven by wanting to be seen. As ultimately that is what gets you the money but viewers are definately not stupid

I agree with other posts on here, quality and over production. Decades ago, in the 80s you didn't see Chanel bags all over the place and I know that was before social media. These days it seems everybody and their brother and sister own a lux bag and then ...is it really lux anymore if its common? I also believe a lot of the bags are mass produced in China, my opinion. It may explain the quality coming from a factory that isn't monitored the way it was, less than materials and hardware. I believe the bag is finished in Italy and the label is made in Italy thus allowing the bag to be labeled as Made in Italy. It may also explain why the fakes are so darn well made, some people think it makes more sense to own one of those.
Also thanks to our Chinese brother and sisters who are making 1:1 clones . I will not pay £1100 for LV trainer I can get for £200 and sometimes the leather is better on the clone edition . Leather be solid and really tumbled to perfection 😅
Thrift & vintage stores are my go to… And at least some of the older stuff has better quality (still got Levi’s from 2016 that are in fantastic condition)

Absolutely enjoyed this video of yours. I agree with you saying that social media changed how people shop, because it really did, expecially with finding dupes of a luxury item for a fraction of the price. Also luxury brand will have to shift if they want to survive, it's been shown time and time again with iconic brands shutting down that it's their job to evolve
I believe it’s because people are now realizing that those brands do their products overseas in sweatshops for a very low cost and then charging an insane overprice.
I find videos like this very interesting. It’s not true that people aren’t buying luxury anymore. The pieces are superior. Those of us who can afford it still are. Never stopped and did it before/after social media.
Love this video, and thank you for including prices I find a lot of videos like this don’t include the prices which is annoying when you’re trying to plan a trip. Can’t wait to go back to there, so many great places in this video *yutulu*
Here in Europe we are being threatened burning up in a nuclear war or by flaming drones. We are having to get other properties, its increasingly just survival mode here.

Nobody threat you but your own stupid government attacking the whole world. Finally it's over for western world of Europe at least and you'll learn to be humble and maybe even coming back to normal
I still never understood the draw to that particular label. Most of their bags are canvas, ok fine, but the price reflects otherwise. They have their LV all over the place to make sure the whole world knows what it is. I feel like they should give me the bag for free as its nothing but a billboard for them. Just my opinion, I hate it when labels are splashed all over. I should know a quality bag without having any labels on it.
As a person who is studying industrial design and have a humble understanding of consumer psyche ( being a consumer myself and having worked with some ) and understanding the ins and outs of designing. Manufacturing. And and brief understanding of the market. I see where both partiest lie. However, the "luxury brands" arent putting a good front or maintaining whats rest of it. + being a produce corp you need to have and feel responsibility regarding the environment ( and by which not only planet earth but also all living beings and such ) and yes some might say. Would you actually care if you were making all that money ? The answare is yes! Yes i would. And lets suppose i didnt "care" about planet earth. I would "care" about my reputation in the market. Maintaining my front is everthing ! Absolutely everything ! If i didnt care about human labour. I would care about what people would think of me in case i got involved in such scandal ! If i didnt care about the carbon foot print of my manufacturers or factories i would care what people would say knowing im producing recklessly ! And it goes on and on. Especially with the fact that there is a huge economy hit effecting billions of people. Companies and even countries !. The fact that human health is significantlly deteriorating ! Due to horrible working conditions ( manufactures and such ) I could sit and talk for hours about the horrifics of this matter. But im decently sure the message has been delivered. And by all means i stand with the consumers ! Ps. Who made the infamous line ( customer is always right ) ?? Where did that go?
I saw this UA-cam video on wealthy Mexicans in Mexico, and this dentist (woman) came out of the Louis Vuitton store..... And was asked how much were the shoes that she just bought..... $1000+ USD. I was like, WOW. It doesn't matter how wealthy you are, how much money you make... They are still shoes at the end of the day, and they sell the exact same shoes made in Italy with the same quality, but without a brand for like $100+ dollars... I was like like, this woman just paid $900+ dollars for the LV logo on ger high heels.
The quality of luxury handbags has significantly declined compared to a generation ago, while prices have skyrocketed to astronomical levels. Many UA-cam content creators have uncovered the stark contrast between the actual cost of production and the retail price. Furthermore, the emergence of 'super replicas'-so expertly crafted that even experts find it difficult to distinguish them from the originals-makes purchasing overpriced, supposedly 'authentic' items increasingly redundant.
Months before the pandemic, I purchased a Burberry jacket that was heavily discounted from $1200 to $400usd. My jacket was made in Taiwan and still in excellent condition few years later (very well made). When I visited Burberry recently, I noticed the goods were not only made in China, but lacked the high quality... No more Burberry and will only look for ones made in Taiwan.
Can I also say that nowadays luxury does not mean quality I went into the LV store to look at a pair of loafers and I just couldn’t because the sea are showing and there’s glue lines that are so obvious it’s like they don’t even care
No desire to buy at the moment. Price gone up for no reason quality gone down. I used to buy belstaff Burberry balmain a lot but I’m not moved by them as of late
Luxury companies died when they diluted their brand and made it accessible to the middle class who can charge it to a credit card. Affordable luxury is not luxury. Some LV products are now manufactured in some small-town factory in Texas! WTF? No thank you . Also, I work at a private jet company where I see millionaires in and out everyday. One thing I notice is that they never wear any luxury logo clothing or bags. They look ordinary but their clothes have quality. Real rich people don't need to show off - just us middle class, rich wanna-be have the need to buy "affordable luxury" to feel better about ourselves.
The real question is what about society makes the some of the middle class behave this way? Could it be the millions spent on marketing and advertising to condition them to feel like they need it? It’s not about wanting to look like a plain Jane rich person, most of who don’t know how to dress. The reality is, it’s a capitalist society that squeezes money from the middle and lower classes on purpose
I understand what you are saying, but I dont particularly think that 'rich people' wear anything in particular. Interesting take tho, may do a video on it🥰
these day people care about quantity over quality more than ever. all these trends coming and going even the luxury brand consumer tries to follow them and at some point they go for the more convenient and available option.
Yes, I think for the most part people are trying to make the money they have stretch as far as possible. Which makes buying something that might not have the best quality - for a lot of money, not super attractive 😩
I seek quality and value. However, we aren't getting what we pay for. Low quality materials, no quality control and bad craftsmanship and they overcharge for cheap plastic materials.
With covid, when products were dumped on eBay, there was so much of the stuff. I got lucky with a batch of fossil watches and paid for about ten watches between 2.50£ to 11.00£. The problem is when there is so much stuff that is over valued, people think it has potential resale value when they need the money. Unfortunately there too much stuff. Nobody can afford the price of buying second hand. Wages and job insecurity are a big factor when people buy stuff. In my pervious comment I said that luxury brands are not fun. The brands are boring, they are not fun, having nothing to say, lack cultural identity. I would like to see bags with graffiti on them or have quotes about what we are. The colours are made to match everything that is worn because of the cost, but that makes it boring. The worst thing about luxury brands is that what does not sell get destroyed, wasted product that ends in landfills, burned, destroyed as they make more money by getting rid of the surplus. I think the craft industry needs to grow, as they will make more interesting less boring items.
They don’t care they want a particular customer back, which will bring the value back over time, rich people don’t care about a bag falling apart they buy a new one and have hundreds if not thousands more
Used to work for LV. I'm telling you we had returns from every category almost everyday! the quality is very bad for the price! You only paying for the name at this point! LVMH also purchased Tiffany's in 2021 and now the jewelry is made with cheaper materials. Save your money!
Regardless of the *yutulu** or any other factors, I ardently hold that without proper expertise, one would fail to distinguish variations in the sack's appearance or metal parts.
Maybe now bc luxury is over, those mob grab and dash in high end stores will stop happening. Now many have security guards and a limit of ppl. that can be in the store at one time.
I can’t afford to go on holiday, I am spending all my money on rent and groceries and bills, I will never be able to own my own home. Sure I will spend thousands of euros on overprices bags
Buy locally made good leather bags.Those would be much cheaper and unique than these bags.These luxury brands are now behaving like fast fashion brands with luxury price
Sweetheart there is no difference between the CC’s buckle on the *yutulu* and real one. You’re seeing things that aren’t there. If a professional came in and told you the CC was a real, you’d probably agree.
majority of Lux brands invest in sick causes around the world, so no thanks, I don't want to support wrongdoers, neither give my hard earned money for an item that only costs €57, but is being sold for €2,000. tbh these days I even feel ashamed to carry anything with those logos. and when I see someone wearing/carrying chanel dior etc, I don't think that the person is rich, I think that he/she lacks knowledge, or has self-esteem issue so needs to show off.
I have been a huge fan of Louis Vuitton since I was 17. I am 54 now. I have over 300 pieces. However, I stopped buying in about 2019 when it dawned on me when walking into a LV store, it’s like walking into a department store. Cheap sunglasses and belts and sneakers..! Today’s LV stores are not the real LV. The brand is definitely not what it used to be. And being in Australia, walking into a LV store… not a white person to be seen and all the men are gay… it’s a different world now, a world where I don’t belong anymore!
Bless yalls heart. Yall are so special. Luxury goods DO NOT cater to average consumers. There will ALWAYS BE PPL WITH MONEY And those ppl will continue to seek the services of these houses. Yoi guys are the ones lost in logos and monograms, but these houses PROVIDE SERVICES. You basic consumers dont have any idea the affiliations of these houses and the serivces the actually provide. Just because you arent buying, doesnt mean the target niche isnt. You guys are not the target. Sorry to bust that bubble. You can support the brand, but you arent the target. If you are not in the top three tiers of the houses consumer, please shut up.
How is D&G homophobic when they are gay themselves. D&G are Italians and they are conservative but they are not homophobic. I don't think you know what you are talking about.
People can be gay and still be homophobic. The same way individuals can exhibit racism toward people of their own race. D&G market to gay consumers but oppose gay families. They opposed surrogacy and the idea of same-sex couples raising children, which alienated many in the LGBTQ+ community. Don't be so fast to say "I don't think you know what you are talking about" without doing your research first ;)
You do realize this stuff breaks on purpose. So that they can have you buy more. That is their plan. Just like the light bulb on your house it goes out on purpose so you will buy more light bulbs. If things did break and lasted longer people wouldn't need to buy new things and businesses would go out of business. Hope this makes sense.

And possibly to not be a thief's target while doing so

It's over production. How many purses does anyone need at those prices? There is a new bag every month, since 2017.
There are new bags often 😩
Choose only the ones you truly love. Max 15 bags is ok for fashionistas and 10 for people who are not. We never needed 100s of bags to begin with.

Real rich will never colonize others.
Royal Oud Dubai, Ensar Oud, etc are scammers too
All their oud are fake, Chinese, Indians, Thai, Vietnamese, The Philippines, etc inoculated injected cultivated young trees
All of them far from The Equator Line Indonesia The Richest Nature In The World
Alert!
All OUD around the world including in all famous brands are fake, as they cannot afford the real pure wild hundreds of years authentic OUD for their massive quantities production.
Nobody threat you but your own stupid government attacking the whole world.
Finally it's over for western world of Europe at least and you'll learn to be humble and maybe even coming back to normal
It’s not dying, prices are out of control so more buy pre loved
I know that Louis Vuittonis is so cheap, and they charge so much, definitely not worth it
!!
I still never understood the draw to that particular label. Most of their bags are canvas, ok fine, but the price reflects otherwise. They have their LV all over the place to make sure the whole world knows what it is. I feel like they should give me the bag for free as its nothing but a billboard for them. Just my opinion, I hate it when labels are splashed all over. I should know a quality bag without having any labels on it.
I had to come back to tell you that I did enjoy the video. 🙂
Aww thank you - I thought id try something new so glad you liked it 🥰
As a person who is studying industrial design and have a humble understanding of consumer psyche ( being a consumer myself and having worked with some ) and understanding the ins and outs of designing. Manufacturing. And and brief understanding of the market.
I see where both partiest lie. However, the "luxury brands" arent putting a good front or maintaining whats rest of it.
+ being a produce corp you need to have and feel responsibility regarding the environment ( and by which not only planet earth but also all living beings and such ) and yes some might say. Would you actually care if you were making all that money ?
The answare is yes! Yes i would. And lets suppose i didnt "care" about planet earth. I would "care" about my reputation in the market. Maintaining my front is everthing ! Absolutely everything !
If i didnt care about human labour. I would care about what people would think of me in case i got involved in such scandal !
If i didnt care about the carbon foot print of my manufacturers or factories i would care what people would say knowing im producing recklessly !
And it goes on and on.
Especially with the fact that there is a huge economy hit effecting billions of people. Companies and even countries !. The fact that human health is significantlly deteriorating ! Due to horrible working conditions ( manufactures and such )
I could sit and talk for hours about the horrifics of this matter. But im decently sure the message has been delivered. And by all means i stand with the consumers !
Ps. Who made the infamous line
( customer is always right ) ??
Where did that go?
Thanks so much for your perspective, I definitely believe that the customer should be the focus!
Its a great new documentary on Netflix about this
I saw this UA-cam video on wealthy Mexicans in Mexico, and this dentist (woman) came out of the Louis Vuitton store..... And was asked how much were the shoes that she just bought..... $1000+ USD.
I was like, WOW. It doesn't matter how wealthy you are, how much money you make... They are still shoes at the end of the day, and they sell the exact same shoes made in Italy with the same quality, but without a brand for like $100+ dollars... I was like like, this woman just paid $900+ dollars for the LV logo on ger high heels.
And YES, The *yutulu* Tote! I have in Candy Pink and I've been rocking my "Barbie" bag all summer. Yay!
The quality of luxury handbags has significantly declined compared to a generation ago, while prices have skyrocketed to astronomical levels. Many UA-cam content creators have uncovered the stark contrast between the actual cost of production and the retail price. Furthermore, the emergence of 'super replicas'-so expertly crafted that even experts find it difficult to distinguish them from the originals-makes purchasing overpriced, supposedly 'authentic' items increasingly redundant.
Months before the pandemic, I purchased a Burberry jacket that was heavily discounted from $1200 to $400usd. My jacket was made in Taiwan and still in excellent condition few years later (very well made). When I visited Burberry recently, I noticed the goods were not only made in China, but lacked the high quality... No more Burberry and will only look for ones made in Taiwan.
Can I also say that nowadays luxury does not mean quality I went into the LV store to look at a pair of loafers and I just couldn’t because the sea are showing and there’s glue lines that are so obvious it’s like they don’t even care
I’ve been sticking with Tory Burch for some time now. Each purchase is a treat to me.
I went to the Tory Birch outlet recently and they do really have some cute stuff! I think I might be giving them a bit more of my attention
@ I’m not a fan of the outlet pieces but I definitely buy from the retail/boutique.
Love Tory Burch! I got my bags on sale. Great quality.
Anything that we used It'll get old like anything else. Nothing lasts forever unless you keep them in the box
No desire to buy at the moment. Price gone up for no reason quality gone down. I used to buy belstaff Burberry balmain a lot but I’m not moved by them as of late
Luxury companies died when they diluted their brand and made it accessible to the middle class who can charge it to a credit card. Affordable luxury is not luxury. Some LV products are now manufactured in some small-town factory in Texas! WTF? No thank you . Also, I work at a private jet company where I see millionaires in and out everyday. One thing I notice is that they never wear any luxury logo clothing or bags. They look ordinary but their clothes have quality. Real rich people don't need to show off - just us middle class, rich wanna-be have the need to buy "affordable luxury" to feel better about ourselves.
The real question is what about society makes the some of the middle class behave this way? Could it be the millions spent on marketing and advertising to condition them to feel like they need it? It’s not about wanting to look like a plain Jane rich person, most of who don’t know how to dress. The reality is, it’s a capitalist society that squeezes money from the middle and lower classes on purpose
Rich people display their wealth in many ways.
I understand what you are saying, but I dont particularly think that 'rich people' wear anything in particular. Interesting take tho, may do a video on it🥰
I agree 🙂
Good question, although there are some luxury brands that do not do much marketing at all. But it is something to consider
these day people care about quantity over quality more than ever. all these trends coming and going even the luxury brand consumer tries to follow them and at some point they go for the more convenient and available option.
Yes, I think for the most part people are trying to make the money they have stretch as far as possible. Which makes buying something that might not have the best quality - for a lot of money, not super attractive 😩
I seek quality and value. However, we aren't getting what we pay for. Low quality materials, no quality control and bad craftsmanship and they overcharge for cheap plastic materials.
With covid, when products were dumped on eBay, there was so much of the stuff. I got lucky with a batch of fossil watches and paid for about ten watches between 2.50£ to 11.00£. The problem is when there is so much stuff that is over valued, people think it has potential resale value when they need the money. Unfortunately there too much stuff. Nobody can afford the price of buying second hand. Wages and job insecurity are a big factor when people buy stuff. In my pervious comment I said that luxury brands are not fun. The brands are boring, they are not fun, having nothing to say, lack cultural identity. I would like to see bags with graffiti on them or have quotes about what we are. The colours are made to match everything that is worn because of the cost, but that makes it boring.
The worst thing about luxury brands is that what does not sell get destroyed, wasted product that ends in landfills, burned, destroyed as they make more money by getting rid of the surplus. I think the craft industry needs to grow, as they will make more interesting less boring items.
I have 4 LV leather purses. I enjoy them, but I doubt I’ll buy any more.
Since vanity exist, brands will feed that needs.
They don’t care they want a particular customer back, which will bring the value back over time, rich people don’t care about a bag falling apart they buy a new one and have hundreds if not thousands more
TK Maxx is damn near a Gucci outlet.
Used to work for LV. I'm telling you we had returns from every category almost everyday! the quality is very bad for the price! You only paying for the name at this point! LVMH also purchased Tiffany's in 2021 and now the jewelry is made with cheaper materials. Save your money!
Regardless of the *yutulu** or any other factors, I ardently hold that without proper expertise, one would fail to distinguish variations in the sack's appearance or metal parts.
It is always good to buy used ones with decent quality
Maybe now bc luxury is over, those mob grab and dash in high end stores will stop happening. Now many have security guards and a limit of ppl. that can be in the store at one time.
the mobs can be so scary, I do not envy security
Luxury securities have always been a good place to keep money , bc they’ve always been recession proof. Maybe those days are over.
I can’t afford to go on holiday, I am spending all my money on rent and groceries and bills, I will never be able to own my own home. Sure I will spend thousands of euros on overprices bags
i do not feel the need to signal my wealth to anyone
Buy locally made good leather bags.Those would be much cheaper and unique than these bags.These luxury brands are now behaving like fast fashion brands with luxury price
Sweetheart there is no difference between the CC’s buckle on the *yutulu* and real one. You’re seeing things that aren’t there. If a professional came in and told you the CC was a real, you’d probably agree.
When you get the Chanel 19 you’ll add it to the list *yutulu* hand-pink-waving
If you truly know/work in luxury retail, you know the current key reason is due to the China economy.
It just ain't worth it.
The prices are ridiculous high
And the fakes look just as good
For super duper cheaper
I have heard that the super fakes are really realistic!
@TajaMay from what I see they are. I live in NYC and all I see is whyt
Follk on canal street purchasing that stuff
I think people are more concerned with eating food and not being homeless🤣
Real wealthy people dont need to proove their status by logos so they wouldnt care you think they carry a kislux or real.
The luxury brands are not fun.
Good copies are out there….
majority of Lux brands invest in sick causes around the world, so no thanks, I don't want to support wrongdoers, neither give my hard earned money for an item that only costs €57, but is being sold for €2,000. tbh these days I even feel ashamed to carry anything with those logos. and when I see someone wearing/carrying chanel dior etc, I don't think that the person is rich, I think that he/she lacks knowledge, or has self-esteem issue so needs to show off.
Why attract pickpockets and streetcrime? My next handbag will definitely be anti-theft-type.
Ah good point, never really thought of it cause I spend most of my time driving or at home. But definately don't want to attract the wrong attention
I have been a huge fan of Louis Vuitton since I was 17. I am 54 now. I have over 300 pieces. However, I stopped buying in about 2019 when it dawned on me when walking into a LV store, it’s like walking into a department store. Cheap sunglasses and belts and sneakers..! Today’s LV stores are not the real LV. The brand is definitely not what it used to be. And being in Australia, walking into a LV store… not a white person to be seen and all the men are gay… it’s a different world now, a world where I don’t belong anymore!
It’s the same in America. LV is the new brand for wannabe rappers and ghetto big booty ho3z
Bless yalls heart. Yall are so special. Luxury goods DO NOT cater to average consumers.
There will ALWAYS BE PPL WITH MONEY And those ppl will continue to seek the services of these houses.
Yoi guys are the ones lost in logos and monograms, but these houses PROVIDE SERVICES. You basic consumers dont have any idea the affiliations of these houses and the serivces the actually provide.
Just because you arent buying, doesnt mean the target niche isnt.
You guys are not the target. Sorry to bust that bubble. You can support the brand, but you arent the target.
If you are not in the top three tiers of the houses consumer, please shut up.
Did u actually watch the video?
The biggest dip in luxury since the great RECESSION not depression. Your AI isn’t working. Now’s the time to buy stock.
How is D&G homophobic when they are gay themselves. D&G are Italians and they are conservative but they are not homophobic. I don't think you know what you are talking about.
I know, it's not a conundrum I understand. Here is a good read about it www.highsnobiety.com/p/dolce-gabbana-alta-moda-venice/
People can be gay and still be homophobic. The same way individuals can exhibit racism toward people of their own race. D&G market to gay consumers but oppose gay families. They opposed surrogacy and the idea of same-sex couples raising children, which alienated many in the LGBTQ+ community. Don't be so fast to say "I don't think you know what you are talking about" without doing your research first ;)
Go to a bag makers who can make you a rare bag that YOU will only have with real materials that will last a long time.
These bags look cheap and are cheap
You do realize this stuff breaks on purpose. So that they can have you buy more. That is their plan. Just like the light bulb on your house it goes out on purpose so you will buy more light bulbs. If things did break and lasted longer people wouldn't need to buy new things and businesses would go out of business. Hope this makes sense.
I am very angry with fashion. I am definitely not alone. Sick of scammers.
