Thank you so much for this video Rachel! You are so knowledgeable in authenticating bags. I loved the way you destroyed those bags RIP to the fakes lol.
OMG! You need to absolutely keep it! Whether it's true or not, this is special to you. People create packages, packages do not create people. Rock it girl, salute *suluxy* !
One thing's for sure- Rachel's the real deal. I just finished watching all her uploads, from the beginning up until I stated watching last December. Most UA-camrs forget about their old videos once they upload a new one, but Rachel always responded to a comment, no matter how old the video was. Shows real dedication to her viewers. (Of course, once her videos start getting 100k views, we'll see if that holds up lol )
Oh my gosh, thank you. I spend a lot of time trying to respond to everyone. I can't believe you watched them all. Thank you so much! And I recieve your vision that my videos will get 100k views one day! I sure hope so friend!

Great Video Rachel! Learning the consistency in fakes are a lot easier than learning the consistency in a real as you said real LV aren’t your everyday find at a thrift store! 🔥🔥🔥
Great video Rachel!! It was so fun to watch and your narrating was Hilarious 😂 You should carry on and make it a series.. what could be the next fake you dissect? Gucci? Prada? Other types of items? Just food for thought. Have a blessed day! 🙏🏼
The machines that split cow leather can slice to less than 0.5mm; under 0.7mm the leather loses strength very quickly. The leather you could readily tear with your fingers might have been really thin (cheap) splits.
@@RachelStrickland The tanneries use mixtures of chemicals to plump up the thickness of some cow leather hides so they can slice it in incredibly thin layers. They then use finishing concoctions, heated calender rollers and even printing techniques to impart "grain" to the surface and voila...cheap skived leather (skiving is the process used in leather crafting to reduce the thickness of leather).
I greatly appreciate this video. I just discovered your videos in the last week. These bag videos are my favorite. I'm not into purses and so I've avoided even looking at the purses for my resale business. I've seen plenty of fake Louis Vuitton's, most are pretty obvious that they are fake. Last week, I found a bag that I thought might be real. I did all my research online and thought it's probably real and felt good enough to list it. Since I saw this video, I'm sure mine's real. I took out my bag and went over it along with your video. Thank you!
Love these videos!! Thank you for educating us on what is real and what is not. As a full time reseller, I want to know what I can and cannot sell. :) You are awesome :)
Perception is everything, I remember saving up for my first LV and some coworkers automatically thought it was fake because I was a young black girl. At that point I really stopped caring what people's opinions were, people will always have their opinions based on how you look. After this I shopped in *topluxs* . If you drive a Bentley and get out of the car with a fake Hermès, no one will question you.

Thanks again for donating their bodies to reselling science. Hahaha
This series of fake exposé videos needs to go viral!
Let's make that happen! Haha
Agreed!! These are fabulous!!

Right? You should have seen me scared I spent hundreds on a fake.

Thank you for watching! I'm like you. Always wanting to be better at this craft. I appreciate you!
I only find Fake LV bags. So I pass on them all the time. The only real ones I have ever seen are in the store. :)
I found a few but they were at an estate sale. One day, we will both find a real one at the thrift!
En el momento en que vi el bolso COPYMAXS , supe que tenía que tenerlo
Vachetta can crumble
good point.
Hey rachel
Thanks for coming to support!
What occasions would you wear these bags to? I love your collection. Like I love my *amzrepe* bags

I loved all the beautiful and tasteful bags. Congratulations LYXBAG
