Thank you. This was honest and interesting.
Actually 50$ seems fair considering 1/3 is cost of production, then you have to factor packaging, shipping, distribution taxes etc
@@dumyjobby Nope. Because they are paying for the brand.
we need more channels like urs!!! exposing companies for cutting cost and marking up high! you have been very informative and keep up the amazing work. literally doing the lords work for us ❤️❤️😭
Rose anvil does this style with leather boots. I've learned so much and bought several boys based on his breakdowns. Highly recommended!
@@skully70 I don’t know that my heart could handle someone cutting up a quality boot.
@@jordanjones7985 the antique WW2 boots hurt. they were vintage, built better then almost anything on the market now, and were totally up my alley style wise.
The rest are all exploration of what makes the style/brand good or bad.
it just goes to show, you’re just paying for the name not the craftsmanship/material.
Love Fossil brand, now I like it even more… ❤
but now they use vegan leather.. the quality of the bag declined too. I have a crossbody bag bought in 2019. didn't use much but they peel?? which is strange. leather don't peel. although I'm completely aware they use genuine leather; the lowest grade. yet I had the same material bought in 2014, works just fine
I found a Fossil brand new wallet at a second-hand store. I paid $10 for it and gave it to my son.
This is great advertising for them! I love my Fossil bags.
Be careful of fossil watche though. They are ridiculously marked up shitty watches
@@dragonsaige I’ve had my fossil watch for years, I really like it. Although I have no idea how much it should be full price as I got it at a heavily discounted price through work.
I have had my Fossil wallet for over 20 years. It's still kicking.
I bought a fossil wallet 10 years ago, only the zipper is faulty now but still using it. Definitely worth it imo. Great video!
If this ever happens again and you bought it at one of their stores, take it back and see if they will send it in for repair. My mother in law did this for a wallet she loved and the store did this for her. I don't know if you need a receipt but it never hurts to try!
You can also go to a shoe repair shop. They usually work in all kinds of leather goods, or have contacts who do special items. I've had jackets repaired, purses cleaned and hardware changed to look new, soles on suede boots replaced. When you invest in leather, it can absolutely last a lifetime and be heirloom if kept in good condition!😀
They should fix it for free. I believe all their items have a lifetime guarantee.
I've got one from 99 still going strong
My husband is using his tor 14 years, only zipper now broke.
Their billfold comes in various colours and patterns all year round and they always go on sale $19-25 depending on the month/holiday. I got one for free when my sis bought a bag~ I have 3 now 😂
I want one😅
Please Longchamp and Maison Mollerus next
Thank you! I love Fossil brand because of the leather.
Oh that makes me so happy, I have a lovely little blue one of theirs.
I recently bought a fossil bag and card holder. The leather is so nice and soft but i have already scratched it. The card holder is a tougher leather. Both look amazing, great price, beautiful leather, great hardware too it’s not cheap crap and overall the bag fits everything I need
I have a ladies Fossil tri-fold wallet that I purchased sometime between the years 1996 and 2000.
I have used it everyday since then to now. The only thing that has worn out is the zipper on the coin section.
I LOVE Fossil leather goods!
Nice seeing product reviews that aren't just trashing on whatever it is lol
And that’s why Coach and Fossil are my go-to 😄
A brand I can really recommend is Arthur and Aston. I bought a pen bag, a shoulder bag and a wallet from the brand 11 y ago. Still use all of it and it’s in perfect condition.
Yep! Fossil is here and Dallas and I have a TON of their products! Very cool to see you review them!
They go sale with good deal price sometimes and i think its worth it
Fossil Leather, one of my favorite brands affordable quality along with trendy designs
Makes me happy, because our watches, wallets, shades and handbags are Fossil. I have been a fan since 1993😮
My husband has a wallet from this brand and he has had is wallet 12 years and its still looks great. So if anyone is looking for a great wallet this is a great buy 😊😊
We can buy it $15 when fossil’s sale time Fossil is great honest company .
I’ve had a Fossil wallet for years and the finish is slowly wearing down, as he noted in the video, but it’s a good looking sort of soft wear - no chunks of color coming off or rough patches. I love their stuff and it’s pretty much the only place I buy leather bags and wallets!
I think Fossil brand leather is SUPPOSED to show wear. I had a Fossil brand leather watchband and it started looking like it was a family heirloom! Wore that watch for years until it was stolen 😕
It is likely supposed to wear over time, for that vintage look.
@@FitnessGuru91I agree their products age so very well!
I love fossil leather goods, not that pricy but you get one of the best bags there is in your time.
You’ve gotta do Portland leather goods. Their stuff is amazing.
Thank you I was pleasantly surprised by the results!
I love how this guy tells the true worth of a product.
They have rfid AND good leather? A win for me! I just ordered my wallet (with a heavy discount 😉). Thank you for the video!
My last Fossil cross body purse cost me perhaps $90 15 years ago. I didn't take very good care of it, and even with daily use, it lasted a long time.
Omggg, so that’s why some bags stain/come off on your clothes, and others don’t?! I had no idea some brands just use superficial dyes. Ty for this info!
Not exactly superficial dyes rather they sometimes don't want to cover the quality leather too much. In that case it still feels like that leather is supposed to feel.
This came off using acetone
Just bought a Fossil bag! Thank you
I have a fossil cross body handbag and it’s very heavy bag, you can tell it’s a good leather.
Finally a brand I actually use lol. But seriously I love my fossil wallet it’s a trifold and it’s probably 13-15 years old at this point and still looks great
If you do wanna buy fossil wallets I know at marshals occasionally they’ll have em for like $15-$20
Should do the Bullstrap leather products, I’d be very interested.
Thank you so much. This is really helpful
I wonder if you could look at bags by Le Tanneur? They seem to use high quality leather but I'm not certain that's true.
I do love fossil bags
Should do one on Velez products from Colombia
I have a collection of FOSSIL bags with matching wallet. From antique to modern designs.The price is reasonable and affordable.
Please fix YOUR VOLUME , We can hardly hear you
Wow!!!! if you have your own leather products for us to purchase , I will be your regular customer😊
They do. The website and etsy store Links are in the description of their longer videos. They have very sleek, modern- classic styles! Very good prices too!
Well done Fossil!
Nice! I buy fossil. I've never been into those really fancy, expensive purse and wallet companies.
good to know! My bf needs a new wallet maybe I'll get him a fossil one. Thank you for this video
Can you desconstruct a Fossil bag?
It’s sad that Fossil as a brand makes such good products but people would rather open their wallets for bigger brands charging for the name only.
These labor costs are wild, no one would charge that little
In the industry yes. They have to keep up w production tempo there’s no time to hand stitch every single item and it’s not a lot of work to just step on a sewing pedal for a few seconds per item.
right.. i wonder that too
That’s why they’re not made in the US 💁🏻♂️
It's literally a full scale production line... there isn't one person sitting there being paid only $10 to make it. So the amount of wallets that come out of that factory divided by wages and production costs? Yeah probably comes out to $10 per wallet.
You are right. This wallet costs less to make.
Please review Nappa Dori if possible!
Can you do leatherology wallets? And bags?
Please do Hidesign wallets
I do like me quality leather. Yea I know name brand w.e but my wife got me a coach leather wallet for one of my wedding presents and it's almost 10 years old and the the only dmg on it is a small crease where it folds, otherwise it's like-new. Good leather shows over time
More fossil vídeos please 🙏🏻
Please make sure your mic is near you!
Have you ever dissected Bellroy leather goods?
So, in general, fossil is better than 90% of luxury brands
Dooney&Bourke?!
Pls do Demellier leather
How is the labor so cheap on this and so much more on other leather products?
I have a nice red leather Fossil bag.
I love my Mont Blanc wallet it’s been great for over a decade. Can you check them out
Please review VAKKO mens wallet. Thankyou.
True had a fossil leather wallet and lasted me years. until I baked(left ontop) it on the dash of my car.
Has he done Dooney and Bourke
Love fossil products and now I like them even more! You can really tell they use good leather
Suddenly I've been into wallets and belts
Wondering how you calculate the labor cost, is it done by time needed to make this wallet then converted by the labor cost per hour?
This channel just popped into my recommendations, and I love it!!
Have you done Coach or Radley please?
Please do one on Hermes Bastia coin purse
Can you do a video about coach bags?
Yea I would say $50 for a good quality wallet is ok.
Can you do the ORCIANI BRAND PLEASE?
This makes me feel good because I always thought fossil to be accessible and amazing quality
I see a whole lot of vinyl for a 100% cowhide wallet. (I understand that's not what they mean by 100% but still)
How would you know if it is genuine leather without using acetone…i have small wallet leather it says genuine leather I use it for more than 7 years and it doesnt have any chips/tear …ps it doesnt smell like plastic but it has a smell that is faint woody odor
Hi, can I have you make me a bag ? Do you sell custom made ?
I got my fossil leather wallet about 5 years ago on sale for i believe about $30 and its still in amazing condition and i dont even do any kind of upkeep. Love their stuff!!
Love this series
What about Madison Made leather
My cousin makes wallets for Fossil
good to know1
You can get it at Marshall's for $25. So, Yay!! LOL
I would love to see you do some other brands, like hooey, Carhartt, Justin, and Marc Jacobs. It's nice to see the high end stuff but I'm curious about the lower end stuff too
Fossil is my day to day brand of purses and watches this is very interesting! 😮
I had a fossil leather wallet for YEARS that was my main one. Until it was stolen with my backpack. 😤
Haven't been able to find a similar wallet since. Makes me so mad. They got away with my daughters' Status cards as well. We're finally getting replacement ones after two years.
Love my two Fossil bags from 10 years ago. Great leather at great value!
Fossil is a good brand...I have few purse frm this brand...the first fossil purse I bought now is 15 years, n I still keep it...this brand is better thn other brand...can't deny....
I still use my fossil wallet I got in 2007, it's beat but still works great. I recommend.
thank you so much.. Please review longchamp and furla leather product.. Many thanks .
Do Wilson’s leather lol
would love to see this guy, doing his review on some of the 'Apple' Leather products... Case or a wallet or something!
Thanks for your videos. What's your recommendation for a full-grain leather wallet? Any advice is welcome. Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱
The guy sells wallets on his website for 170euro and says it cost only 15 euro
Well that’s justifiable for the price branding .. but the luxurious brand ones pfft scammers
The most expensive purse I own is a Fossil bag. It was around 300 bucks. Probably not surprising but I really haven't ever been impressed by expensive, luxury brand purses (or other products).
This guy is probably making a lot of makers sweat... Like the LockPickingLawyer
When you compute the cost, you should include other costs like taxes, marketing, logistic, profit margin, recovery of investment in properties and equipments, etc. Not just material and labor costs.
always loved fossil, affordable, quality and staff are lovely
I love fossil leather products. Had my fossil wallet for over 5 years
Can you do the queen's bags next? (Launer of London). Their leather is beautiful and light, but it scratches very easily, I find. I'd love your opinion!
This guy says 10 for labor for everything. So makes me wonder how accurate he is. I don't think he is considering the cutting, selecting, etc of the leather.
