  • I do think it is important for people to realize that there is a big difference between a luxury brand and a luxury product. A lot of luxury brands have products that aren't worth 1/4 of what they charge. Thank you for the work you do.
  • "The moment you accept where you are and what you have... then entirely you become satisfied... and it doesn't matter what you don't have so it becomes a positive experience". I re-played this part like 10 times. This is honestly resonating for me about life in general but most relevant to luxury bags, you saved me from wasting a lot of money as I was about to buy this exact bag for my birthday. Now I'm thinking about putting the money towards a vintage bag that's hand-made, not mass produced, and higher quality / more unique. Thank you!
  • I think Lou Lou in particular does have something that defines it as a luxury product. It is a very easy bag to use and its ergonomics provide the necessary comfort. I accept the opinion regarding the quality of the materials but time was also invested in its creation to turn it into a product that comforts your daily life. This is something that is important for me in particular. Thank you for the video!!!!
  • @TubnQT
    I like the idea of stitching the bag back together and giving it away MUCH better than destroying it. It’s not wasteful and can be useful to somebody, as well as draw more comments and subscribers.
  • @victoriab2932
    Makes a lot of sense when you look at it this way. If it didn’t have the logo, most people wouldn’t pay $700-$800 for this bag. Thanks for doing this!
  • I love how this video doesn’t shame the consumers and just gives them an informed look on what’s behind the glamour. If people want to buy a branded good just for the brand, more power to them. And if people want to buy well crafted good at fair prices, they now have the knowledge to do so!
  • @byankaree91
    I have always been into real material and though I like luxury brands. I tend to always check the little tag placed inside a piece of clothing whether it's made of 100% wool, cashmere, silk etc. And if they're not I tend to ignore it even if the luxury brand is selling a product at a bargain. That being said I never questioned the value of luxury brand bags since they're all made with real leather. Your channel has provided me with so much information about the craftsmanship, the different types of leather used and the different criteria by which we could judge the value of said luxury item and for that'll always be grateful!! I always discuss your videos with my friends and family. Glad I came across your channel ❤❤❤
  • That’s so awesome, that you are not destroying the bag. Every time I watch I feel sad about it but also happy that I have learned so much from your videos! Thank you for what you are doing by educating us what it takes to make a bag.
  • Unstitching and unassembling a bag is so much more satisfying than those unboxing videos. Thank you for unravelling the mysteries of fashion and luxury
  • @maryrhonagarcia
    I am a newbie in the world of luxury bag, and I’ve been eyeing a YSL bag as my first luxury investment. However, watching your video made me realize to look beyond the logo and see the real value of the bag. It’s an unbiased review, no sugar coating and not a marketing hype. Instead of paying hefty price for a brand, pay it instead for the craftsmanship and real luxury quality. Now I’ll dig deeper and watch your other videos to help me be a smarter consumer and purchase a bag worthy of my money.
  • @Kastanienbaum
    What’s very important is that no one buys this bag without the YSL Logo. I learnt so much from you about the quality of leather goods, thank you for that, and I love to see that you are talking about the value of design, which stands for its own without needing a logo.
  • @skihillsandy
    There's nothing more enlightening than to learn that price doesn't equal quality. We always hear "you get what you pay for" but when it comes to luxury, it's not always the case. The only way to learn is to shop and compare. Don't fall into the trap. Thank you do much for making these videos.🙏🏽
  • @julinegrant4559
    I agree with you in describing the false feel of accomplishment when getting a luxury item. Once you purchase it and have it, you’re on to the next item so that fulfillment is short lived. I love your videos and am glad that you show us what the true meaning of luxury should be.
  • @jingjingce
    Yes, I agree most people wouldn’t pay 7-800 dollars for the same bag without the tag. Really appreciate how your video educate consumer on good quality leather goods!
  • @summits100
    Thank you for breaking this down and revealing the actual quality. Pulling the veil off of self professed luxury items is greatly appreciated and a breath of fresh air!
  • I totally agree with you that if the YSL logo was removed, it does not deserve the steep price tag. I always appreciate your brutally honest reviews. Thank you for being genuine and not giving false applause.
  • @mellel5594
    Mr. Leatherstein, you have just increased the value of that Loulou by adding your own final touch when re-sewing the bag! Your commentary is always appreciated! Much respect from Canada! ✌🏾
  • @kalbergkiluk
    Love :yt: MoMacoco:yt: the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other YouTuber can show off bags in as much detail as you.
  • @Dayeyas
    YSL is a brand I´ve always dream about, I really like de designs, but you are completely right about de logo... and much I would pay without it. Thank you for the video!
  • It is nice to find someone how actualy knows what a "good" bag means and not just and explains it to others
