A luxury brand should be able to tell you exactly where their leather came from, in addition to the exact type of leather being used. That should just be standard. If a farm to table restaurant can do it for their dishes, then so can any purveyor of $10,000 bags. If they don’t, they’re hiding something.
I don’t miss a day a week *preluxscom* hydrate This show.
*preluxscom* There is no competition in the world of fashion dups. These sacks are on a whole new level.
And YES, The *preluxscom* Tote! I have in Candy Pink and I've been rocking my "Barbie" bag all summer. Yay!
I really enjoy your videos and look forward to them. They are honest and forthright, and you behave in a very friendly (sometimes even apologetic) and humble manner without the slightest hint of bragging *preluxscom*
Such GREAT comparisons! Allllll soooo lovely! Especially the *preluxscom*
I don't understand why people continue to purchase from Chanel. There are so many high quality reasonably priced products out there. The flex element is real!
I found a Classic Coach bag I couldn’t walk away from today. It was a true classic so I purchased. The leather on this bag , you could smell it and the condition, the stitching was beautiful. It was styled like a Hermès bag . I was shocked.
It's why Chanel keeps treating their customers like crap.
Not to mention Chanel bags are too basic and boring for the price, I honestly don’t see the appeal
@Tarreemha Caruso I feel the same about coach. I just did the same and bought myself the coach revel in black glovetanned leather. I love it soo much. The quality is top notch and the leather is so nice to the touch. No thick plasticy coating on it like so many other brands.
Amei todas as bolsas lindas e de muito bom gosto.Parabens *preluxscom*
Quite shocking. Tannerstein dissected a Coach bag recently and he was impressed with the quality. Coach uses better materials than Chanel? We shouldn't be surprised by anything anymore.
Well, Coach gifted him that bag. I've noticed that his reviews are more stringent when the bag is not gifted from the brand.
@@bags_books_and_bowwows he did a few coach reviews I don’t think they all were gifted
@@bags_books_and_bowwows wrong.
@@KB-sj8hb Yeah only the tabby 26 was gifted by coach directly. His reviews of the pillow tabby, vintage coach,Theo bag, and outlet wallet were either bought by him or sent from his viewers.
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 *preluxscom* . If you drive a Bentley and get out of the car with a fake Hermès, no one will question you.
I saw a thread in purseforum about chanel leather a while ago. A lady poured boiling water, ketchup, clorox and acetone on her metallic 19 and… nothing happened. Knowing it’s supposed to be lambskin, theoretically it couldn’t hold that well all those aggressions. She said she cannot believe it is actually lambskin.
Other lady commented that she developed a new skin allergy to her chanel bag, her doctor asked for the chemical components in the leather. She went to chanel, asked for that information but they refused to give her. She even allegedly got a refund.
At this point I can’t believe anything Chanel says. I’ve read some ladies had vintage bags that never got moisturized and still look like brand new.
I’m super curious about the coating chanel uses on its bags.
Their style is so chic, stylish, elegant, and understated *preluxscom* !
Love*preluxs* the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other UA-camr can show off bags in as much detail as you.
I bought a Chanel seasonal mini flap in caviar "leather" (the one with the heart adjustment chain)from the Melbourne boutique back in February this year. After the first couple of wears of no more than a couple of hours each I noticed that the caviar texture on the back pocket had started to wear of. I live in New Zealand and we don't have any Chanel boutiques here so I couldn't take the bag back to a store. I decided I would wear it a few more times to see what would happen, maybe the first damage was done by my clothes. I only wore soft clothing when I wore the bag, which was roughly another 4 or 6 times. ( I am a "collector" so this isn't my everyday bag). Essentially all of the caviar on the edge of the back pocket has now worn off. I went to Sydney earlier this month and took my bag into the boutique (Westfield City) to see if they could replace or repair it. I was told it was "wear and tear". I explained I had only worn this bag a few times, and asked to see the back of the bag the sales assistant wore every day in the shop. Hers was perfect. I was then advised that they would send the bag to the repair centre at a cost of $150 to me. I was gobsmacked. After some discussion which involved me pointing out that I had spent a serious amount of money on a bag of what seems to be crap quality and that charging me for them to just look at it was not really an option. They waved the fee. So now I am back in New Zealand without the bag. I am waiting to hear what they will do, i.e. re colour the bag which won't fix anything. There may be a cost to me involved for them to fix it. I wonder what the guarantee on their bags actually means? Apparently it will take around 6 to 8 weeks until they are able to advise me on what they are willing (or not) to do. I think this has been my last Chanel purchase
Check out his review of a new caviar wallet! He had to scrape off SO much plastic in order to get to the leather. And you're right, unlike more affordable luxury brands like YSL that will press leather into a texture, Chanel is just coating leather in plastic and paint to give the caviar effect
May I asked what color did you get dear? I noticed a little spot of mine too but not worried as my cc turn lock is already peeling off😂😂
A lot of the 22k caviar flap bags on the market have this same issue. I really wanted the brown/beige one but I missed that season, so I’ve been following all the 22k flaps on FASHIONPHILE. Most, if not 100%, of the ones FASHIONPHILE had up for sale in the past couple of months had peeling leather either on the back pocket or at the bottom of the bag, or both. Mind you this is a very recent season and all of the bags I saw were otherwise pretty pristine. I suspect that batch of leather was subpar and many people wanted to sell their bags after realizing that.
@@Kworldreview I got the green one. I haven't had any issues with the lock so far
@@1zoffany maybe I accidentally scratched on something🥹 thank you dear.
To be honest, because of the recent massive price increase by Chanel, we started to look for alternatives on similar price range. However, the problem I have is, I love Hermes but the styles and functionality of BKC are very limited. They are too heavy, except C. But the straps on C are flopping around when you put the bag on the table is so in the way. They are all too structured to style for evening wear. Also, one has to forever worry about damaging them. Chanel styles are extremely easy to match, day and evening, timeless, easy to use. The leather quality depends on the year it was made. So, I would really suggest check the bag you are buying carefully. All my Chanel bags are very well made, no problem at all. I have been to Chanel recently, again some of the bags are not well made, but some are very well made. To me, styling and versatility are more important than leather quality, because I don’t just use one bag, I change to match. The quality needs to be acceptable. I can’t be bothered to carry a few heavy structured bags plus evening bags when I need to travel a few days away. Normally 2 Chanel bags will do just fine for all occasions.
After buying a classic Chanel flap bag at the boutique for a huge sum of money with the recent increase in price, I decided I would never buy a real Chanel bag again, I would rather buy a fake Chanel made of good leather. Chanel has become very disrespectful of their customers, they literally sell low-quality fake leather bags to their customers.
Actually, many vintage Chanel bags have PU leather. Especially as the bag's lining. I also have seen vintage LV, Celine and Gucci using PU inner linings for the era - 90s and earlier.
Are we surprised? Has anyone seen their Xmas advent calendars? Chanel is shameless, at least Louis Vuitton for example admit their products have non leather.
good point
I’m thoroughly enjoying my 1st Joseph Duclos zippy pouch card holder because the leather is everything and more than what they described in their website. I traveled with it to places that can be demanding for a card holder because I use it to store cash as well as a lot of card and accessing it nonstop. It has held up beautifully and I still feel the best leather just like the day I got it. I’ve never been amazed at anything else before. I would say Joseph Duclos and my Hermes Picotin are the best leather pieces that I ever own. 😉♥️🎉🙌🏼 great video Jess!
I've got a few Chanel travel line totes in different colours and I was shocked to discover some straps were actually PU not leather.
Apparently they are still authentic. Shocked at the flimsy construction the inside is actually cardboard! Plus a layer of foam which has disintegrated. This turned into a rust coloured powder. Apparently this is well known to bag renovators, as a particular curse. I'm shocked that those bags were originally US$1600 at least. Unreal.
I'm fixing them because they are light and excellent for travel.
This was the video that made a big impact on me, even though I’ve seen some of his other designer deconstructions. I’m glad we have so many other alternatives to turn to these days.
My daughter Nancy, who holds a high position in New York, wears this bag. She loves its color, size and weight. Thank you*preluxs* .
I bought a replica of a Chanel brooch for $20 to compare materials etc. The real brooch cost $800 and was made of the exact same materials - brass, synthetic pearls, glass. The other one is a $40 one *hqluxy* Backpack Replica - also works for Compare - I can't find any difference and still use it for the gym
Great video! I have a lambskin Chanel belt bag that I purchased from the boutique probably 30 some odd yrs ago. The magnetic snap no longer snaps and whatever they used between the inside and outside leather has crumbled. I have a friend that said the same thing happened to one of her bags. It's crazy and so disappointing to say the least.
thanks for sharing Debra!!! it is very surprising for a top tier brand!
@@Jessiestyle it's absurd!
All materials should be disclosed on purchases. Also origin of manufacturing.
CHANEL should be reported to Department of Consumer Affairs or the BBB
I’m sure we could all gofund me and spare a dollar for tanner to purchase a NEW Chanel classic flap so we finally figure it out.
Hi Jess, do you remember 'sticky pocket' was a thing with many vintage Chanels, especially from humid countries such as Japan? What else could cause that other than PU leather if you think about it? especially the burgundy lining, I still see them come up for sale on ebay etc.
hmmm!!! makes me think!!! you have a point!!
Hi Jessie, thanks for covering this. I saw the video also and was quite shocked. I don't expect everything to be top grade and perfect for Chanel but indeed it makes me wonder how much of their modern day bags have been using PU in order to keep improving the profit margins. I think ppl are moving more towards authenticity and real things as social media has made ppl tired of seeing things that are not as authentic feeling. After years of over consumption and a bad economy some ppl may be looking to buy fewer items and higher quality. can't speak for other ppl but I have fatigue at just how much is produced and probably wasted - esp luxury items...they are supposed to be high quality and built to last - but Chanel is probably producing so many seasons I feel they are closer to a Zara and no longer as luxurious to me. Thanks for the chat.
I wonder if the factories producing for luxury brands are lying to them about the materials being used, and if the luxury brands are being willfully ignorant of it. If a “luxury” item is made in China, then *absolutely* people are being lied to about the materials/manufacturing process. I would just assume the worst of any item that says it’s made of just “black leather” or whatever.
I saw that too. In a vintage bag. Are we really shocked? This was not a new bag and it was the lining. Still, no excuse. Watch all of his videos 😱
That was really alarming. However this gave sense onto what happened to my friend’s Gabrielle bag. The ‘leather’ on the strap was peeling. I’d like him to review a new bag too.
I was surprised on a few levels when Tanner said the lining was PU. First, I couldn’t believe that it was PU. Then it surprised me how PU was so durable 😂😂😂 I think just buy something from Kmart and be done with all the stress 😂😂 (as if)
I have a bunch of Chanel bags - some of them I baby and treat really delicate and some of them I wear daily and don’t worry about them. I will say that they are not the best quality and they do “wear and tear” very quickly so I know that now and I don’t think I will be buying another Chanel any time soon. Maybe I will buy a fake one since they seam to be the same level of quality. My super wealthy friend showed up an an event with this gorgeous Chanel bag and I could not keep my eyes off it -// later that night she admitted it was a “replica”. Well it fooled me !!! And made me think maybe I might / could be/ maybe persuaded to carry a “replica”
Of course one advantage of PU on the inside is if you spill liquids or other matter on the inside they won’t soak through the bag as quickly or at all, giving you time to clean or dry it before potentially ruining it. Another is that it won’t colour transfer onto any items stored in the bag. A lot of the interior leathers are so heavily PU costed the may as well be PU anyway. Different materials are used in the construction of bags because their properties are better suited to the use case.
I was very surprised too. And to think ppl pay for "better made vintage bags with higher quality" these few years.. Even if it's the lining, it's Chanel pricing! And yes I agree the company isn't very transparent on the type of leather they use. Tanner mentioned any type of leather can be used underneath the caviar texture. It's always very general too. "Calfskin" "Lambskin" "Goatskin" is all they say 🤷🏻♀️
I wonder if they marketed this as leather lined bags. I mean, if they explicitly said it was leather lined or did we just assume it was beacuse it’s Chanel.
Like the Gucci bag you mention - are they intentionally vague?
Speaking of pig leather being used in bags, vintage Gucci Bottega Veneta and Celine bags, did have pig leather and pig suede used in them. I also avoid these vintage bags and analyse carefully the look of the leather.
Agreed. They told a colleague of mine their ophidia is not pigskin leather but the three dots are RIGHT THERE! Well to each their own.
I love his videos been watching him for a while now. Hes changed my perception on some luxury items. At least with some brands like LV when your purchasing monogram you know your getting canvas. Chanels quality has gone down badly, dacobs videos have shown that. Sending love from the UK! Love your channel
Imagine you’re a vintage luxury reseller and your customers complain about your stuff being low quality because the brands were doing cheap tricks back in the day… ouch
It is very interesting. It is great that consumers are more knowledgeable. I don't know why the brands are not more specific with the products they use. Same can be said with fine jewellery from luxury designer houses like Cartier who don't provide the 4Cs of diamonds on the website on items I looked at with diamonds in them to know what you are getting and if the value is there for the customer.
Jeffree Star has already burnt a Chanel. He could give one lol
right!?! someone with millions of dollars!
It’s so funny as I was watching the beginning of your video, I was thinking, I wish he could dissect a classic flap! 😂
If their using fake leather, I don’t think that’s a bad thing but they certainly need to drop those prices cause isn’t that part of what your paying for other than the name is the so called real delicate lambskin leather, I think most luxury brand these days are a ripoff and your not getting very good quality anymore for the price yet they continuously keep raising the prices and its just not worth it, plus that’s not point or why people really purchase chanel, if they say the bag is made of the best materials including real leather then that’s wth I want, im not paying 10k+ for no damn name I’m also paying for the quality you say it is and if your giving false information on what quality and material the bag really is then that’s misleading and scamming people and I’d be pissed the hell off if I pad 10k+ and got something completely different from what they say it is, I have to question people too who make all these excuses for them knowing they paid all that money for a sham product, like people are weird when it comes to luxury will pay so much money for bags less quality than a few hundred dollars but then act like their nag is better cause it’s a more prominent brand, like no your just a sucker who wants to be that girl/guy carrying a bag with big luxury brand name with the lesser quality than a coach bag
yes, i watched his video ad soon as he put it out. it was fascinating but cringe at the same time. who wants to see a luxury classic get destroyed! too bad they lined it with p.u. it will not go over well with the luxury community at large when this knowledge catches on. kudos for him unveiling their underhanded methods.
yes im thankful for his content! its very fascinating
I personally don’t believe it’ll impact Chanel lovers much at all. Myself included 😅
Let’s not pretend that we spend thousands of dollars on a Chanel bag is because of its all leather. If you want a good leather bag, you can get a very good one from other brands or a local artisan leather bag store for a fraction of the Chanel price. We buy Chanel bags for its name, history and heritage. So leather or not (unless there is a false representation by Chanel) is not important.
Thanks for jumping on this. It's definitely concerning.
Yes! Filmed it fast yesterday 🤪
I have a Chanel bag with that same zipper pull
If I’m spending the amount that Chanel asks i expect the best quality.
me too
Same
I was flabbergasted 🙈
Poor baby bull😭😭
I was so hoping that someone who collects these high-end bags would see his videos. I didn't want to be one who pointed it out.
No wonder if u see some vintage chanel bags in seller website..why the lining are peeling while the outside is fie..just curious🤔🤔🤔
Such a shame to destroy a vintage that’s still in great shape. Would not have minded if it’s a vintage that’s a bit more dilapidated.
Totally agree because the money we pay we should know what material we are buying.
Wondering what people think of Dior leather? The lambskin and the grained calfskin? Thanks :)
I’ve found the quality to be too notch.
I lover Tanner so much 😂😂
He variety of textures in the *hqluxy* tpack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone
For the price, the quality and material should be top notch, not one detail out of order. People who pay for the name are also paying for higher quality. This is shameful
I agree!! i understand paying for just the look..but at when a brand prides them self in "good craftsmanship" like Chanel...well... they should deliver that
Exactly
Did Chanel ever use PU / Vinyl lining in their VINTAGE circa 80s coloured classic flaps? Eg: white, “white “ or light coloured leather goes through so much processing ..bleach/dye etc. so I imagine that would wear badly as interior lining, PU makes sense for durable lining.
Personally, I don’t mind if they are using fake leather.
I saw that video... wow,.!! I love to see this guy dissecting bags .
If he didn’t buy direct from boutique it could be fake. Too many unknowns
if true would violate trades descriptions act in england, companies including secondhand have to say what it is
Very interesting ! Thank you dear Jessie 😊
I understood the Classic flap was the one style that had leather on the inside.
I learned the hard way that Celine (and other luxury makers, I haven’t looked into Chanel) made some bags of inexpensive materials aimed specifically for the Asian market to appeal to younger consumers. I wonder if the bag Tanner dissected might fall into that category.
I have mixed feelings about the idea of dissecting a vintage luxury bag. I suppose it’s educational, but there are only so many out there, it makes me a little sad to see a serviceable one destroyed.
Really!? I had no idea! I know what you mean..I think it is important that we find out the truth so hopefully in the future brands will pick up their game...It's unlikely because they can make more money by using cheaper materials.
I am confused why you say that inexpensive materials were used for Asan market? For those who know banking and real history, knows that the real wealth is in Asia, and not in America or Europe! The so called richest forbes in the world, would be as doorman status, in the real dynasty Asian wealth.
@@giedrebey5444 - this was a specific marketing initiative in the 1990s/early aughts I read about when I was trying to figure out why a canvas Celine bag I bought from a Japanese seller was not marked as being made in Italy. It was also very cheaply made. Vestiaire confirmed it as authentic. Fortunately, I had bought from a professional seller and was able to return it.
that's why Hermes is amazing, no "surprises".
I’ve noticed that Vestiaire’s pricing of sky rocketed compared to a few years ago 😅
DO EVER GIVE MONEY TO CHANEL!!! scammers!! they charge a big price for horrible quality
Great video, I watched him last night pull apart that bag and I was shocked. Love a follow up to this video see what the outcome is? If we get one
Chanel Gabrielle chain is one of the example that is not a leather chain. It’s a faux leather. It peeled off.
gosh!!
Chanel had some items in a lower price point back in the 90s.
As sad as it is… definitely not shocked anymore 😅 sad that it is the way it is though for sure 😢 so it means new Chanel bags have frequent quality issues AND possibly unstated pu leather linings… sigh 😔 I mean I know we buy luxury for the design, for the experience or feeling it gives you blah blah blah but geez there’s just no integrity with these companies huh 🤔 ❤ TYFS Jess 😊❤ kiki
aw happy weekend kiki
Bottega, fendi, Hermes - no leather goods from anywhere else
Yup I watched this as soon as it hit, I was shocked, like excuse me, 😑 pu leather, shocked 😲
We justify the pricing to non bag lovers (ie judgy friends and partners) by saying it’s high quality. So, erk.
Hi Jess. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend
Well done Jess.
I would think that if chanel was doing it 30 years ago then they’ve probably been doing this ever since.
Shame on chanel 🤦♀️
Indeed
Yikes! Glad I watched this video, I’m surprised Chanel
It’s a CHANEL 🙄 if you don’t buy they don’t care they are a real rich people will buy it
Luxury bags are not luxury anymore…..
WTH is going on with Chanel? So crazy.
Money grabbing shenanigans
I appreciate *rrcopys* 's attention to detail in every bag they make. Zippers, handles and stitching are carefully crafted to make their bags true works of art. And their prices are so surprising to me!
I’m a no on Chanel now.
It was $4000 then for pu interior smh
Great video! Would love to hear your thoughts on Joseph Duclos.
Yes!!! Would love to order and slg from JD
Great topic inquiring minds want to know
omg I saw that video I was so surprised🤔
i was too!!
Super dacob will know.
I really wanna see if he says Hermes is worth it
same!
@@Jessiestyle Oh I just saw that he did shorts on the Hermes Evelyn and did say it was good leather but still not worth the price tag hahaha
they cannot sell pigskin due to certain religions, I mean they can technically sell it but people may not buy it. However, Hermes pigskin is rare and sought-after. I think legally they have to say which animal it is?
I wonder if that's why Gucci isn't saying it! pig skin is actually very durable, but brands should be upfront about what kind of leather they are using. In the US they do not have to legally say which animal, they can even say "genuine leather" or "real leather" LOL! like that says much
@@asunbeam5479 it's clear as mud, which I think they like
thank you for info
I use my *hqluxy* as a work bag and have had no issues at all. It’s a comfortable bag, fits a good amount and hadn’t lost its shape. With that being said, I also take care of all my bags and don’t carry a water bottle, pens, keys or anything that can damage the interior
How about you donate one of your hermes bags to tanner ? 😊
Will you pay? 🤔
Why would i pay ? I did not suggest. Duh !
I don't want to Ada 😆 maybe if i had money coming out of my ears I would
Why if u r Hermes collector Chanel and blah 😒 😒😒‼️🤭 why ask the people buy one super thanks 6:33 🙄 to support you??? ‼️😂 really???
Yikes 😮. Love your jacket 👍😻🤗🤗
Thanks!!
Wow ❤!
Some of Old Gucci were pig skin
Amei todas as bolsas lindas e de muito bom gosto.Parabens *hqluxy*
It's just another way of saying "ghetto" for poor people wearing imitations. BUTTTTT It's a smart investment when rich people do it lvguci
I don't understand why people still support Chanel. Their bags are garbage these days, their prices are insane, and they treat their employees like crap. I think Chanel bags are boring, but if I wanted the look I'd honestly buy a fake, because I'd probably be getting better quailty for a much lower price.
I also heard this Tanner guy has some deal going on with Coach, but I'm not sure if that's true.
Loved thelyxbag bag what's the vendor name and bag names on cite thank you new member
Wow! These are great for traveling. I'm going on a cruise soon and I'll be ordering most of these to take with me. Thanks so much *amzrepe*
