Is Shinola Worth It? The Snap Shoulder Bag Review | Leather Deconstruction
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 січ 2023
- This is the first Shinola bag review on the channel. Thanks to the minimal finish of the leather, the natural markings and variations are especially accentuated. This leather bag was made in Vietnam, and I am looking forward to deconstructing a piece from their American line soon.
Cost Estimate:
I estimate about 12 square feet of leather was used here, which should cost approximately $60 based on the quality and amount used. It's a fairly complex bag to assemble and I estimate the labor and additional accessories to total $90.

I'm keeping tally... so far, for all the bags you have mu-ti-la-ted, only Shinola and Bottega has earned your respect. Off to save money for a Shinola bag... 😎
When he started w “wife carried for two weeks” my thoughts were - ok a review of a bag that she can keep! Scissors come out ….😂
Lol, same.
This
She gets a new bag every two weeks but never gets to keep it.
You’re fantastic to watch! Who knew cringing while watching you destroy luxury brands I adore and own (or lust after), was going to be so fun. But it is!! Thank you for your hard work and dedication to your craft. I feel so much more educated!
Every once in a while, I have a crazy thought that I should just *wreck* one of my purses (or a sweater, etc). It's soothing and violent at the same time. Conflicted me, I'm fighting the good fight for my accessories. So far, so good!
Because of this video, I bought my first Shinola bag. It has "Sewn in the USA" and a serial number on the inside tag. I bought it "previously loved" and now it is loved again! Thank you for your videos and reviews!!!❤
Do more Shinola. I love their stuff. Its high quality
I love shinola. The first item i ever got from them was the leather backpack. I've used the heck out of it, and it still looks new when I clean it up. 7 years later. Just picked up my third bag (slim brief) and its stunning. Was bummed to take everything out of it and see a "Made in Vietnam" tag though.
I’m so looking forward to when your Channel hints to 1 million subscribers.
Thank you for making all the education leather videos. I’m going to make a purchase from your Etsy now.
This is the first time I have been inspired to buy this brand! Thank you for your videos!
Just discovered this channel. I’m obsessed. This information is exactly what I needed to know. Thank you !
Shinola is a beautiful and great quality brand. Worth it 100% as it is not super overly priced. And it’s from Detroit 🖤
As a watch guy, their watches are super overpriced 😂.
From Vietnam if you listen to him talking.
@@sloth_e The brand is Detroit based, but the purses are produced in vietnam. I think only their watches are actually made in detroit.
@@MoMo-rx4zr the watches aren't really made in Detroit either
very detailed breakdown, I had a good laugh when the sissors came out. Would love to see what you make of the scraps
Thank you so much, Tanner! Always appreciate your education❤🎉
Thanks for doing this, it's informative and appreciated.
But next time you destroy a bag can you please give us some info about the stitching, can you burn off a thread so we can see if it's linen or polyester? And can you see if it's machine stitched everywhere or do they have finishing details by hand? Hand stitching is easy to tell because there is no lockstitch in the middle of the hole. Stitching is important, some times manufactures use the cheapest and thinnest threads because the bobbins last longer and the machines for thin threads are cheaper.
Also some info about the lining would be great, this one looks like good quality heavy canvas from here but I can't tell for sure.
Lastly, can you please scratch the hardware with a file to see if it's solid brass or nickel plated please.
All those things matter in a bag, we'd love to know more.
Thank you for you honesty and great review I still get shocked each time you cut the bags🥰😂
You deserve millions of subs so you can buy those. Great job.
thanks for the videos ... i hope to see what you make of the scraps and i hope you told us about the thikness of leather in the next videos
Love these videos! Very informative and educational. Also I’m wondering what’s your thoughts on The Row’s leather! Are they worth it?
Look at those gorgeous striations/variations😍...
I love my Shinola Hobo bag❤ The leather bracelet I have is just as beautiful and of course their watches are amazing.
This bag made you work hard to deconstruct it! Must be very good.
Wow. Thanks for introducing this brand to me too. I'm wondering if you'll be analysing Bolderini Selleria brand one day. They seemed to use good quality leather in veg tan colours. ❤️🙏
This guy is genius 😊🥰🙏🏻
Thanks for sharing.
He's cutting through my heart with those scissors
Please deconstruct a Dooney and Burke Florentine leather bag. Thanks!
I'm just surprised how small little threads hold up the shape and structure of leather. Especially in bags where weight adds to wear and tear of the product.
They don't. There is usually reinforcements, tape, and/or interfacing in key areas between the leather and the lining, otherwise the bag would sag like a sack of potatoes.
Lotuff Leather are beautifully made bags. Would love to hear your opinion on their craftsmanship
Thank you for your channel! I love leather but unwilling to pay the hefty price of leather goods from top luxury brands as I know I would just be spending a ridiculous amount of money for their name. I quite like the Aspinal of London and Tusting brands from England and I wonder if you could do a deconstruction with the Aspinal of London's Portobello and midi Mayfair bags as well as with the mini Holy and mini Hazel bags of the Tusting brand? Would really appreciate it. Thank you.
Can you do a review on a Tod’s Leather bag and Dooney & Bourke leather bag?
I hope you can put it back together!😢😢😢😢
Where’s that apron you’re wearing from? It looks so good
Would love to see Tumi leather bag. I spend too much $$ there.
Founder of Shinola Detroit is founder of Fossil, Tom Kartsotis👍
Could you please do a Hermes leather video please? Thank you!
I would like to know how can I tell if the bag is good or not respect to the finish, because I like a bag that doesn't scratches and be really usable. What is considered better in general?
Hi!could you do suede bag review🙏
How can that kind of leather craftsmanship be learnt here in the US
Shinola is supposed to be American-made brand…craftsmen are supposed to be in Detroit.
people probably used to learn to sew in school (home economics) and at home. so probably more trade skills need to be taught again. same thing they talk about with lots of things related to education/trades.
Can you try oroton? It is an Australian brand
Have you done a Dooney & Burke yet?
do a roots bag
Hi! Would you be able to test the Tiffany Tote? It says it's made with Italian leather. Black grain calfskin. The cost is $1680.00. Also, do you make and sell women's leather bags?
This was painful to watch such a beautiful bag
Can you do a Dooney and Bourke bag?
☝🏽
It sounded like this was one of the few brands so far you think are worth it and not so much ripping people off
May you please please please review or see the leather on sofas? I'm in the market for one. There's on at sam's club for a seemingly good price called the Livingston recliner sofa that I've been looking at
It has to be analine leather. Otherwise it’s going to fall apart.
Can you review Patricia Nash handbags
Yes, please!
i just wonder, what bags does your wife carry? would you recommend them? could you pls make a video?
also I have a rebecca minkoff bag regan saddle pebble bag. could you pls review that brand if it’s good? thank you
I am new to working with leather (just one bag so far) but I have a Rebecca Minkoff bag. I like it but the one I have doesn't fit that much in it, so I don't use it too often.
"So honey, you will put the bag back together right?" "Ummmm what?"
What about leather shoes? Is it more challenging than work with leather bags? Does it require completely different skills?
Rose Anvil is more the specialist on slicing shoes apart. And Bedo Leatherworks to resole them. There's good discussions there.
Honey! I just cut up your bag! Good news? It WAS a great bag!
On a bright side I just picked up duffle for 130£.
I know that your wife must lose her mind when you bring a bag home and then take it apart 😳🥺 I would have a fit😅 but I will assume (trying not to make a azz out of myself) that if you can so easily destroy a high-end luxury bag, it would be nothing for you to replace it if your wife likes it. Another great video.
It's not being made in Vietnam because "talent pool". Even China is moving to Vietnam to save on labor costs.
PLEASE dismantle the “FURLA” bags and make a video.
There is a very old and crude saying in the US-- "He doesn't know sh#@ from shinola." Obviously shinola was meant to be good. I wonder if the brand is very old and (as old as that saying--at least 70 years), and they meant to compare it to the brand.
That saying comes from the original shinola brand which made shoe polish. Basically you can’t tell shit from shoe polish. This shinola just took the brand name as an homage to an earlier time where stuff was American made
So…are you buying your wife a new bag?
My same thoughts 😂😂
