The coated canvas is both water and fire proof

A lot of people don’t know but even after knowing,they buy anyway. Same as tote book bag from Dior 😅

I hate the plastic texture. I dont know what a lux bag should feel like but that stiff plastic ain’t it.

The canvas is very durable actually. People think it's a scam, but it's actually a really good thing.

@@debless9572 thousands of dollars for canvas? Think about it. Canvas

Oh well trust me they won’t miss you

I'm sure nobody misses you. @@MrsMirandaWarren

Obviously LV didn't make them. The Monogram Canvas was repurposed to cover the trash cans.😂

well yeah, i'm not an idiot@@ljhabodsh6929

no they won't because stupid people like you will keep them in business.@@MrsMirandaWarren

excatly

Agreed

I choose Longchamp instead 😊

I dont know if I agree. I spent a good 5 years without buying LV in the past because of how common it became, but lately they are bringing more real leather and exquisite designs back and it got my heart again for the last 2 or 3 years. I'm a Brazilian ex model, worked with fashion (and lived in) NY, Paris, London, Tokyo... today I'm married into french-belgian aristocracy and I see it very differently. LV still a classic that the aristocrats use very often. It's more of an ''everyday bag'' than a luxury item thou. I'm not talking about short on money french students that are on their early 20's, but aristocratic women 30+ that have nothing to prove or rebel from and have money from many centuries. And every family meeting, golf games, and brunches I see them everywhere. In Belgium and in France (we live in Cannes during summer). LV never made so much money as today after their restructuring, so I think they are going on the right path again.

@@allwhatilove914 So if I understand, you’ve been seeing aristocratic women buying and rocking their exquisite real leather LV bags lately. Do you see the models made of canva as well? Because in the « poor/middle class/struggling world » that I live in…way too many people wear those bags, and trust me…their is nothing luxurious about it. So, nope, I don’t want to have anything to do with LV. Thank you very much for sharing with us this very insightful information. Why don’t you start a KZfaq channel? Or a podcast? You’d provide some very interesting tips and tricks that you picked up back in your modeling days and all the hacks, tips that rich women use. I’d subscribe in a heartbeat. 😃😃😃😃

I agree with what you are saying, but paying thousands for materials that doesn't have any after care service if broken etc......... does not worth it at all.......... you not gonna tell me if I buy a bag for 5k you only gonna repair the metals not the leather or anything else. Yes it is cool to have real once but.... the price they put in it is way to high compare to what they offer us specially the leather canvas which is luxurious plastic that offers durability........

Many years ago when I made the mistake of buying those, I bought this little LV bag. Eventually one the zippers lining broke and I see the inside material between the canvas of the LV bag is ALL sardine packaging. They get points for recycling at least 😅🎉

@@DieynabaNduwayo You are right that luxury handbags are not worth the thousands of dollars you spend, I would personally never spend so much money on a bag, but I would also not buy them counterfeited. Doesn't it cheapen the bag for you the fact that no one else might know, but you intrinsically know that what you have is just a fake? Also, as the previous commenter said, you never know where the money you give to counterfeited products is going to. When I was in Italy a number of years ago, our tour guide warned us not to buy any of the counterfeits they were selling on the street because they were going to the mafia who was behind all of the counterfeit sales. If she had not explained that, I would have never known and possibly made the mistake of buying one because trust me, I was tempted as they were so cheap!

@@for833 you are right also, i wear thing not to be pointed as ohhh she got a gg original bag no i wear with or without people knowing its faje or not i have no problem with that. Nedless to say, as a black woman even of i wear a original chanel bag and go out, they will consider it ask fake even if its real, i dnt need to show of... sometimes its the people that wanted to pay attention. After all, i buy dupe or gifted...... the dupes i wanted to buy in real so i can style play around and see of it worth the money to be spended, after i buy it on second hand or lest cheaper bit not uneccesary money

While I agree it’s morally wrong to purchase counterfeits, very high quality replaces are so well made they are made from the same materials as the original. Often the workers making them are actually being paid more than at the luxury houses. Sometimes (I mean specifically extremely high quality replicas that you have to do extensive research for and go through loops to be able to purchase) the quality is even better than authentic because they have to go through more thorough quality control, because their bags need to be absolutely perfect, while the real bag is already real so sometimes minor defects and details get overlooked because they don’t care about “proving” their quality, they know you are buying the brand, not the perfect quality.

but if these authentic LV fanatics are simply after these hi-tech RFID identifier chips embedded to attain their sense of luxury and exclusivity and not solely on the highest of quality merchandise and the impeccable customer service...

That is sooo not the case. Yes, there are LV stores in many cities, but they are not in EVERY major city. And even then, outside of Paris, there may be 1 or 2 LV stores per city. Additionally, you can only buy LV merchandise at an LV store or website, or you will have to settle for secondhand goods at a reseller, which may or may not be fake. LV goods also never go on sale and they tend to hold their value better than most other luxury brands. I think they have done a really good job of managing their brand and exclusivity.

@@hejiranyc Every pawn shop has LV in it now. I've seen more LV over the past three years than in my entire life before it. Scarcity drives value, and LV is no longer scarce.

and a five thousand dollar skateboard

counterfeit or preowned, or brand new cheapy

I find them heavy

I find them very QVC.

I have a Capucine. Adorable, little tiny red bag. Doesn’t even hold my phone. Spent $7,000 on it. Then I realized this was insanity. I’ve decided to chill on acquiring any more purses. Maybe someday I’ll be back, but for now 🤷‍♀️

😂😂😂

I guess you will be shocked to know there are loads of Super fake Hermes. I see these bags all over the place. It’s insane considering how exclusive Hermes is supposed to be.

Good luck keeping the leather pristine. And finding a practical Hermes’ beyond the Lindy.

Hermes, waste of money. Save and invest that money for your future. Foolish o spend fo hermes. You can pay a car in cash for a bag price. Unless you're a 3 millionaire, Hermes is crazy price.

Hermes is an unethical company that treats its clientele like garbage, and I frankly find their designs both tacky and lackluster, a difficult feat to combine. "Known" for equestrian scarves done a million times over by every lux brand, every other brand does it better, "H" letter shoes, pillows, and blankets that scream "I'm a 20 year old bleach blonde with no taste, but want everyone to know I'm bougie ," and the 1940s granny Birkin bag to, again, let people know you spend lots of money but have no style of your own.

People buy fakes for numerous reasons, not just to look cool or fake it till you make it, alot of people are buying fakes because the quality of the real thing is no longer a premium product and now more and more fakes are becoming better quality, there is also the personal security aspect, some will buy an original which will sit in their walk in and they will buy a fake to go out with so if your mugged especially here in London, well they got a fake, which is also cheaper and less hassle to replace especially when you have insurance on these items. Its the same thing with watches, do you know how many people are mugged in London alone for their Rolex, Ap''s Patek's ect alot.

if the real looks fake nobody will ever care about your purchase...unless u live to impress others

@@ARUchannel1 I think people who buy fake, live to impress others more than the ones buying the real thing. They’re buying something that is fake but has the logos to make other people believe they have money. No matter how you try to justify it, it’s embarrassing

@@JakeStrada the reasoning being crime, makes no sense at all. The act of getting robbed is traumatizing. No matter if they ran away with a fake or not. Your wallet, keys and whatnot were still in that bag and will need to be replaced. Why not then buy lesser known brands, fly under the radar and avoid all that to begin with?? Because it’s about the logo

​@@melocoton7 you have a lot of opinions of how other people should feel. They should be embarrassed and traumatized. Anything else? LoL

You aren’t lying about ALT. Or any airport for that matter lmao. Those bags are on just about every shoulder or sitting on a carry on.

You’re absolutely right

Depends where you go in nyc Chinatown.

I hate Michael Kors for the MK logo madness. Ugly, and I am not your billboard.

Actually they never made as much as today. They are VERY far from dying.

What are you talking about. Load of tripe 🙄

How so?

Lollll

the monogram actually comes from the “japonisme” trend of the mid 19th century (see the lotus flower), and the versace greco roman themes are obviously, well, inspired by ancient greece and the roman empire

LMBO

These brands have contributed to the counterfeit industry through their ridiculous price increases and declining quality. I would guess that very few people who buy the fakes would ever have the means to buy authentic. If the fakes make them feel confident then who am I to judge? I am quite frankly a lot more concerned with the human trafficking and Fentanyl flooding the US thru the Southern Border.

You are so naive!!!The brands also copies from others too.

@@danieldossantoscardoso8727 awww so you think two wrongs make a right? Ppl that are broke with fakes are so pathetic. And anyone can spot them a mile away. Posers.
