It’s not about the act of restoring it, that’s well and fine, but it’s the fact they paid so much for a glorified piece of $20 canvas that they then feel a need to restore it as it was $800. It goes to show how overhyped the supposed quality is, for this price it shouldn’t even degrade like a cheaper wallet for it to be the “investment” people claim it to be - where it will last a lifetime. The labour to restore a $50 wallet made from $20 worth of canvas seems not worth it but a $800 wallet made from $20 worth of canvas - it’s fine.

@@User-cb4jm It’s stated in the video that the wallet is leather, thus worth the repair.

I would hope the owner values it, it cost 800 bucks

@@pmm4177 anything that cost 800 bucks should be taken care of 😂. I even moisturized my 50 bucks Nomad wallet since it’s the most expensive wallet I ever had

Louis back then was a lot better than the quality it is today. Everything including designers products are falling into the category of “fast fashion.” If I had a vintage wallet that needed repair, I would very much do so instead of purchasing a new wallet (whether regular or name brand). It is about the quality, just like a car. You can have a 1998 Honda civic that’ll work better than a 2022 Mercedes Benz, because it was taken care of. It’s how you take care of your things with value, especially if the quality and craftsmanship is there. I bought my first Louis wallet in 2012 and kid you not, has outlasted my wallets I’ve purchased of poor quality. I wasted money replacing wallets that I couldn’t repair, and it just gets thrown out. My wallet is no longer available because a new model has replaced it, and I don’t like it at all. So if I wanna put in money to restore a wallet that has lasted me more than 10 years, I’ll do it.

OH BOY that scene was SATIS-FYING!

This comment is in EVERY single one of these restoration videos.

@@Jemppu Lol. I wasn't aware

Which scene?

credit and debit cards exist i mean surely u have more than 800 dollars in money bank or pocket or in the form of assets

@@TheBadBanana156 but again I'm a student so yeah I actually don't have it

My 10 dollar wallet looks a lot nicer and I don't ever have to take it to get professionally repaired. Buying experience things that degrade/depreciate is dumb.

Rather 800 in a 10 wallet than 10 dollar in a 800 dollar wallet

Yeah me too

I like other people do task also 🙃

Especially because of all the colour rubing off. Like, couldn't they afford to buy coloured leather for that price?

I have an LV wallet and the quality is surprisingly poor...

You will be suprised to find out how low the quality of some luxury brand is.

Meanwhile my dad gave me his leather wallet and i still use it. That wallet is 30 years old now. Its in semi good condition

@@Gabriel-of-KZfaq - You’re mostly paying for the designer name, you can find items using really high quality materials for a fraction of the price compared to these high end brands

What's funny is that our body's are the same with our cells. Every 7 to 10 years all our cells are replaced in your body

@@Flowku 😳

yeah it is just for the l and the V on the front and the logo

You can get much better quality for a significantly lower price tag. The problem with luxury brands is that you are paying for the name, not quality... not anymore. Perhaps once upon a time these were high quality items, but no time in my memory.

My mom's use bougt a LV bag and it's still in a great condition

Yes you are right but the LV name itself adds half of the price.

There are a lot of people with small leather businesses who do astounding work - heck, the guy fixing this wallet could probably build you a new one for a fraction of the price of the LV... and personally, I think the logo is ugly.

Ooh that's interesting, is that true? Damn.

Yep. It’s basically canvas coated in PVC. Lots of videos and articles out there talking about this

@@cakelab7447 yes, the monogram from lv is a cotton canvas coated in pvc

That's what's so fucked up about these self-called luxury company. They are not for the wealthy but for the stupid and dumb

Yup. The only way they can charge so much for it, is by the brand name.

Never; as long as the logo is undisturbed.

Ahh, the Ship of Theseus.

Louis Vitton to Low Value wallet 😝

*Pain*

But it’s vintage so it would be worth much more than 800

@@mjalojado2174 but its ugly af

Exactly

The only reason some people may choose to restore 🆚 purchase a new one is because the style may be discontinued. And this wallet may suit their needs better than a modern one. 🤷🏽‍♀️

They probably charge around $300 which is better than buying a new one I guess

The leather and stainless steel zippers are still LV

no, this was less work than making a new one would be. the main point is that many people get attached to the things they use often, and it can be more enjoyable to make them look good and last longer than to buy new things. it's also more ecologically responsible, particularly if you compare it to fast fashion. that owner is actually kinda getting their money's worth from how much they're using that wallet.

Someone might have given this to them and wants to keep it longer, like a parent.

@@chefmesser420 Better get a new one. Cos it doesn't look ori at all after refurbished.

🥹🙏 I love this so much! 🇯🇵

She sounds like the tik tok voice.

Great comment

I would disagree with that statement. I have a 10 dollars wallet and it's been lasting for years. But even if I got a new one every year. It would take me 80 years to get to the price of that wallet. Good invesments are definitely worth it when you can afford them, but that designer wallet isn't one of them because you are paying for the brand, not for durability and quality materials. Point is, compared to a 10 dollar wallet, that one cannot possibly be a better long term investment

@@gaboshkaboi6885 Good for you. I can guarantee 99.9% of the time a $10 wallet doesn’t last years. My point still stands. Buy quality, take care and maintain quality and you’ll have quality for life. Instead of filling landfills with $10 cheap products that don’t last which is 99.9% of $10 wallets.

For these type of people it was never about the cost, they will spend top dollar just to preserve their most treasured items.

And soo much waste

@@MinbadTheFourth Gay

When people put their branded wallet, they would always kept it in a safe place and in this case it’s obviously in a bag or some sort and people tend to leave it there and therefore the outside is safe from the elements and the inside of the bag is secure. But a wallet can be ruined in the interior by money, especially coins or credit cards, the edges could have rubbed or was put in too much for the interior to handle, therefore by time, the interior starting to chip off bit by bit, it has also been said that the owner has been using it a lot so that could also be the cause of it, have their hands rubbing the interior again and again. There could be more causes though... but from my personal experience those are my best guesses

The outside is cotton coated with plastic (monogram canvas) the inside is leather (softer and quicker to show wear)

Hii

If you are the original owner it’s a lifetime warranty, so free. If not I’m going to guess this restoration cost about $300 is a pair of brand new handles for a bag costs $400. Anyone who owns LV is not worried about price, same as someone who owns a Rolls Royce. If anything it’s a selling point, bragging rights.

It’s not a key detail. You will go and repair your items if you believe in slow fashion. That money is worth it. How much it costs is worth that leather not going into landfill.

Anyone know what color and brant of paint was used for the inside of this wallet ?

Me too!! Like would it be worth it to just buy a new wallet? The amount of time and skill that goes into restoring it probably isn’t cheap! I’d say for some thing like vintage or limited edition items it’s worth it no matter what because you can’t replace it

@@laurac86 That sewing machine itself is vintage.

there are people who still want to treasure their old things but in a better condition. to even buy a new one and discard the old one would be such a waste. think before you speak.
