Why didn’t they partner with a high end pencil brand? They could have marketed it as a high quality fashion case to protect your high end fancy pencils. Real artists will know and people like me will just feel fancy.
Because with things like this, you aren't the market. It's just for braggers to have as a statement. "New money" who want to show how much money they can blow.
@PestoMayo Funnily enough I kinda thought that most real artists either don’t have the money for something like this or they would lay down 800$ on something to further their work.
As someone who’ worked in mid to high-level fashion retail for 10+ years I can tell you 100% that Louis Vuitton probably used the same pencil maker. I can’t tell you the amount of times I saw several high end brands with the exact same product from the exact same factory with the only difference being the label slapped on the product. I wish more people understood how they really are only buying the brand and the idea that you’re always getting a higher quality product is a total myth
Same here. Worked for a while highend and especially the world famous brands aren't very high end. Bad stitching, cheaper fabric or often just plastic. You pay for the logo and a lot get limited editions in the first place because their value will be going up evtl, so it is more like an investment. But there is some amazing brands around which are still more highend or boutique but mostly not as known. So, if you spend 300 or 20$ on a tshirt, it often is actually the same. But inbetween the 50-150 zone there is some amazing fairtrade and longlasting quality around. One of the main things i learned is that fabrics really matter and that the highend shopper often behaves like the normal shopaholic, buys and never wears it, to bring it to the opshop in the end. Get yourself an nice used cashmere on ebay girls for a 10th of the price, but dont get any mites, they'll eat everything else in there as well. Also, buying secondhand means you dont give any money to companies you find immoral.
Thank you very much! A lot of people buy these product because they think it is luxury objets 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️the real people who live in the « luxury » will never buy that because the luxury is not the price… and the luxury is the inverse of vulgarity and it is just what Luis Vuitton,Gucci and other are
Gucci are not targeting artists with this product. They are almost definitely targeting rich parents who want their kids to have 'fancy' stationary at their 'fancy' school.
Rich parents wouldn’t buy this for their children if they had any class, it’s too nouveau riche. Maybe a mom from the real housewives would, but not an actual classy rich parent
More expensive stuff holds up better. Designer/fashion brands don't. Spending more and buying like a full grain leather case from a local leatherworker will make a HUGE difference in quality, and will literally last multiple lifetimes if its looked after. But spending more and buying a fashion brand won't. LV and Gucci use really bad quality leather, and most of their "leather" bags are like 75% canvas.
So today after 28 years of existing , this lady taught me all my lead has been breaking when I sharpen my pencils because I use them as drum sticks at work .
@@shizukagozen777 It is a scam because they're marketing them as high quality (Both the pencils and the case for them) when in reality they're paying for the logo.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if both companies contracted with the same supplier/manufacturer to produce a pencil set for them. Or just the pencils themselves, which Gucci/LV then used when assembling the final product, after making the case with their own material/hardware.
I feel like 90% of the price comes from packaging alone. And did you say *40 for $800* ??? They better be drawing my pictures for me and sharpening themselves 🤣
When ever I see luxury branded art supplies in a pencil wrap, bag, or planner I feel you're paying the money for what they come in not the actual supplies. It's a beautiful pencil wrap.
I disagree, the way it kept rolling up would get old fast, and with the stars emblazoned on the pencils I got cheap dollar store vibes from the whole thing honestly. A good artist could make a sellable work from the scorched end of a twig from the campfire... money can't buy talent.
They’re not “luxury pencils”, just like with the LV ones, you’re paying for the “luxury case”, not the pencils themself. lol Although I do think they should specify that on the website.
Off topic but I’m glad that everything on Gucci is so ugly so I never have the desire to buy any of it 😂 what a shame about the pencils but I will say the case is actually pretty nice, which, I guess I’d hope since that’s mostly what you’re paying for. Thank you queen of saving our wallets 🙌
Same. I've always thought those luxury brands are ugly and that the way they splatter their logos all over every inch of product surface makes them look tacky. Why would I ever want to carry around something with double Gs all over it?
These look a lot like the $1000 Louis Vuitton colored pencils that Rae reviewed in the past! And I was so shocked at the quality of these pencils! I'm pretty sure $790 was for the case and the remaining $10 was spent on the actual product!
CholoGoth13 LOL I thought it was just me who thought that stuff was kind of ugly. I understand things being designer or luxury or whatever. But I just never liked GC or the other one… Coach maybe?
how are gucci cutting corners to save money? it's not like they're poor... the fact that you can slap a name on an ordinary thing, and then it becomes "premium".
I got a set of 120 castells for 60$ on sale, 1,000,000 times better than this shit, it even came with the black case that looks like a book, literally such a deal.
I'm so glad I stumbled upon this video. I had no idea you were out there doing this. Pretty sure I never would consider Gucci for art supplies, but it was fun to watch. You are absolutely adorable and you're an incredible artist!!
After the season, the products aren't just "gone", they deliberately destroy and burn left over products in order to make them scarce and highly saught-after and increase the price or justify the high pricing.
To be fair they produce extremely limited runs of everything they make, and sell out on just about everything. The amount destroyed at the end of a season is probably no more than 5% of everything they create. Not only that but at least they have a "good" reason, they're trying to protect the value of their brand. About a decade ago I worked as a shelf stocker for Walmart, who regularly burns/trashes things like bottled waters and dog food that are perfectly good for consumption just because they were a day or two past expiration, and refused to donate any of it to a homeless/animal shelter. Be mad about that, not what LV is doing, they're just taking advantage of hypebeasts
@@DUKEHadToDoItToEm Honestly I don't see much of a difference. 5% of stock seems like it would still be a lot. Especially when your burning or trashing it because it damages the planet. But at least with Walmart that stuff is expired, yeah some things are okay past expiration but some things spoil quick so I can understand tossing old food.
@@briannam916 yeah, be mad at LV for throwing away 200 handbags instead of Walmart for throwing away hundreds of thousands of pounds of perfectly good food. Makes sense. Don't even think of the amount of product thrown out by each company, that's inconsequential. I'm sure that the plastic bottles for those waters and other packaging for that food that gets thrown out is also real good for the environment. Walmart also trashes/burns any sort of non electronic homewares that are deemed unfit for sale, so there's that too. You're unironically part of the problem giving excuses to a company that does wastes 100,000x more every year. Educate yourself before you go posting opinions
This video makes me think of my college years. When I was a University student I used underlying colour codes for different concepts and categories. I bought a new colour pencil for every book I studied. The more I studied, the more I added variety in the underlying shades, the more sofisticated the code became. When I graduated I found myself with a shoebox full of colour pencils, most of which had their own unique colour shade. I still keep these pencils as a memory of my hard study and my college years...
@@braxma12 There's a difference between the privacy and ethical expectations of a game app versus a mental health service. They are literally able to report the very sensitive information you give to the therapist.
@@braxma12 Oh woe is me I'm an anti-SJW and I think therapist should be able to disclose their clients personal informtion to other people and I think that a company using other people's struggle with mental health to exploit them is a-okay because there are no ethical companies so I guess unethical behaviour is suddendly okay now.
One thing I learned about " high end" products is that the majority of the price is the name. They most likely made and sold $20-$40 of pencils but because of the name and branding they act like it's "high end" and put the price up there. It's so stupid and people buy into it so much thinking that they can be better just because they have this stuff (most influencers now a days). You Rae, you go into the products and pick things out and how it has flaws. This and your art is why I follow you! Others wouldn't and just brag about it.
It's marketing. It's more profitable for them to manipulate the population and rely on consumerist culture than make a good product. Most products are trash today. You simply can't buy actually good stuff for a lot of things. Only the bare minimum.
First impression: Gucci made the cheapest pencils they could, and sold their name as the main product. These look, before you’ve tested them, like Crayola in terms of quality.
Dear non-art companies: If you're selling art supplies for 800$ (even if the cost is from the case!!!) make them decent or you will quickly be hated by every artist everywhere
@Steven Ortiz And plus what’s a phone brand got to do with money. Samsung and android are expensive as hell as well, needless to say they do have great quality with their devices too. Gen Z will eventually will learn to handle their money too.
As someone who used to work for a Macy's Fulfillment Center, I can tell you ALMOST ALL BIG BRANDS COPY EACH OTHER! It's ridiculous the amount of products I'd see that look almost identical, but have a different logo on it.
@6:50 ... It would not be shocking if it LV had the same product; they probably both used the same manufacturer... Highly unlikely they made these pencils in-house.
Ok so I really love the colours. The mint green and the pale purple are just gorgeous! That said, I've never liked Gucci's designs. I personally think the red and green with the browns is just ugly. I've never wanted anything Gucci that uses their most Iconic designs. I also have never understood wanting things just because they cost a lot of money. Have I wanted designer things in the past? Yeah sure. But I wanted them because I liked them, not because they were expensive. To be honest when I find out they're expensive I want them less than when they're cheaper. On top of that, I get more excited about getting a discount than I ever could over spending more money on something than it's worth. And that extends to presents! I love when people get me something worth more than what they spent on it.
Omg yes, the high of finding something you want/need and it’s dirt cheap. Live for it. Or, if there’s something I really want but it’s expensive, trying to find it for the lowest possible price.
@@knmplans my favourite? Finding the thing you want, brand new and unopened at a thrift store or yard sale... oooh even better. I once found a box full of paper out on someone's lawn, marked free. It had, I kid you not, Arches watercolour paper. Like I'm talking 9×12", three FULL BLOCKS of the stuff. I didn't even know what I had until I started getting even more into watercolours. On top of that, my grandparents used to own a musical instrument and art supply store. My uncle bought it from them back in the 80s and decided to focus down on the music side of things. Long story short, he has a multi-million dollar business now, and I have a massive set of very old tubes if Windsor and Newton tube watercolours. They've lasted me over 15 years. I have terrible luck for the most part, so it makes things like this even more special to me. :).
Yes, I also find Gucci to be ugly. I don’t know why they’re popular, because they’re certainly not aesthetically pleasing. I feel like for some high end brands people are just propping them up like people used to do with the useless nobility-the “family name” being a mark of prestige despite them haven’t contributed to anything since the 15th century. It’s famous for what, one or two designs maybe? I feel like it’s the very idea of “high end brand names” that stifles creativity in the fashion industry. When you have the fame of Gucci or Louis Vuitton, what is there to drive you to actually do something unique? 🤷♂️
Better help sells your info and in a lot of cases aren’t qualified to actually help people!! Pls look at the controversy as a lot of you tubers are boycotting their sponsors because they are unethical!! No hate at all just wanting to protect anyone watching, pls look it up and partner with someone else 😊
I have a friend who is just starting out as a psychologist, and was signed up with to provide services with better health... for about 2 weeks. Then she stopped. She wouldn't go into details but refuses to work with them.
when you compared the $12.97 prismacolor pencils, to the $800 gucci branded pencils, the prismacolor pencils showed off more vibrant, amazing for such a low price!
It's unfortunate. They used to be a respected and high-end brand. Vintage Gucci has stood the test of time, both in terms of style and durability. Now it's made-in-China trash.
"Luxury colored pencils" is a hilarious concept in itself. And like you said, this is the only time gucci's going to make colored pencils, so what are the odds they're going to get it right? They have to partner with a manufacturer (or just re-private label the same ones as louis vuitton), but they're not going to bother researching what actually makes a good pencil for artists because artists aren't the demo. Label-ho dilettantes are.
I watched this expecting you to just unbox and color them and compare them to other pencils. You really dumbed it down to me and showed me why these pencils aren’t high quality. I never really thought there was a way to tell besides the way it goes on paper.. thank you for that :)❤️❤️
Still everything should be high end. Gucci should not associate themselves with something subpar, with that high price everything should be perfect. Also if you are paying for the case why include the pencils?
I don't know why people expect quality art materials from a FASHION brand. Even in their description they talk more about the case than about the pencils, that says more than i need to know lol
We're expecting good quality because- you're selling colored pencils, and it's $800. I don't care about the case, the pencils WILL need to be better than Crayola and Prismacolor.
When you buy something for the cost of 800$ (no matter what it is) you expect it to be top notch, or MONEY-WORHTY. Yes, these fashion brands stick to luxury clothes etc, but when you ADD a non-clothing item to your BRAND, you expect them to collaborate with top notch brands that sell THOSE types of products. What Gucci and LV did was, they took the easy way out to make MONEY and lose less. Basically stealing peoples money.
It’s terrible really when a luxury brand cuts corners like that..After all it’s an awful lot of money just for a pencil case .I had my Faber Castell Durer set for about £130 a few yrs ago for 120 pencils and they are rich and creamy .So I cannot see how they can justify cutting corners like that.Pretty sad really ..Thanks for the review 🥰
This is a great video, expensive isn’t always better. Go to Walmart and get the Prisma color for $12. It’s better 😂 And the “quick drawing test” that looks amazing! You can literally turn the worst product into an amazing piece of art
I actually enjoy my Prisma Scholar pencils more than the regular ones. Harder, less breaky; interestingly, prices are similar per pencil - Premier is dirt cheap these days.
I believe when louis Vuitton did this it literally looked the exact same to what Gucci is marketing now. its just a bunch of expensive brands who know nothing about art and mediums making supplies overpriced because the packaging has their logo on it.
Dunno I'm pretty sure they know about art (since the designers working there must sketch a lot) But they clearly don't care. The target audience are not artists but just people who wanna show off
Yeah I have heard they are shady not sure why so many youtubers still promote them.... makes me think less of youtubers who don't look into the things they promote
@@Ruby-xk8kn Yeah seriously. It's the first time I clicked on one of her videos and she seems nice enough, but she just lost all transparency for accepting a shady and damaging sponsor like that. Not gonna watch anymore of her vids
@@l.2620 Most times youtubers work under contracts and have specific upload dates that can't be change or can't be just thrown off, giving her the benefit of the doubt, maybe for literal legal reasons (videos are send to companies before getting uploaded so the company whos paying are happy with the video) meaning that this was filmed at least a couple weeks ago, but again what a shame :/
This was actually so informative and cool! I was expecting a surface level review of a super expensive product but you actually seem to know so much about pencils. I loved this video! :D
I wish people would stop promoting better help. It's sketchy and many people including myself have reported scams from it. It's really hard to get your money back and the "help' isn't there. they are not even real doctors.
The moment you said that Prisma's lead is a lot wider or thicker, I opened my 72 shades Prima color box and compared it side to side with the Gucci ones in the video. And damn that is actually quite the difference, I was not expecting that.
I do hardwood floors and carpentry as well as art with wood so I can definitely tell that both are made from real wood. The only difference is cheap ones are soft wood like pine and the other high end ones are a hardwood like oak. Tough to say exact species but definitely not compressed wood or plywood. Love your content and beautiful art. Keep it up Rae!
While my initial thought was "Of course it'll be bad, it's a fashion brand - they're not going to spend much money on R+D for pencils they'll only make for one year", I feel like they might be missing out on selling to actual fashion designers - people who need art supplies to draw their designs. Oh well
Thanks for the demo (and huge dent in the bank account) and showing the true colors (hah) of the designer name lunacy. The Gucci and Vuitton companies have been laughing all the way to the bank for decades. No shortage of insecure folks out there that need to 'prove' how important they are by buying into the designer name hype.
I'm honestly shocked how bad the quality is. I know gimmicks or extras by luxury brands like Tag Heuer, Rolex etc: when *they* have colored pencils they use premiere manufacturers, even if they brand the pencils with their own logo (sometimes it's an obvious collaboration: bc the name Caran d'Ache stands for luxury itself too). They all let either Faber Castell or Caran d'Ache produce the art materials for these special editions! I thought for sure that Gucci, LV etc would do so too. I mean, if you're a high fashion luxury brand making gimmicks to accompany/side-sell with your actual products, you *want* the absolute best, reinforcing your commitment to maximum luxury for your spoiled customers, shouldn't you?! Luxury inevitably means high quality - that and the cost for artisan craft made by experts as well as the over the top presentation make it luxurious in the first place. Otherwise it's just trash with good advertising, creating a short-lived hype.
3:51 because you’re paying for the pouch containing them, the monogram, the brand and the experience. I don’t mind designer brands as long as there’s a *uniqueness* to them, like handmade gowns and sartorial expertise but Maisons like LV, Chanel, Gucci and Fendi (I’m Italian and I’ve been working in retail for 15+ years so it saddens me to say this) rely SO GODDAMN much on the logo/monogram being fucking everywhere. I don’t understand the marketing reasoning behind this type of item, most artists can’t afford paying 800$ for mediocre pencils so who are they catering to, bored millionaires who enjoy sketching every now and then (I’m not saying millionaires can’t be interested in arts but)-? 800$ for compressed wood pencils…? What the…
I think the aim is lower than millionaire, probably more for people wanting to appear richer than they are by overspending a couple accessories, rather than people past the need for showing off.
The fact that they cut so many corners with the pencils makes me think that most of the cost of the $800 is in the packaging. The label itself is obviously going to carry a heavy price, but there's really no excuse for Crayola level quality attached to the Gucci name. They *should* have enough money to make decent, or even high end, pencils and still make out like a bandit due to the almost $1000 price point. I dunno what that wrapping is made out of, but it better have high quality silk and 24k gold buttons.
plastic laminated canvas, looks like plether but might be the cheapest calfskin, and you can see the buttons didnt even take the name stamp that well.. so probably braised steel or high zink alloy, so even cheaper than brass.
It definitely did not cost even close to $800 for ANY of it, the materials are cheap. It’s not even leather it’s canvas. It probably cost $50 tops to manufacture, and that’s a generous estimate.
I've used Prismacolor pencils and thought they were good. With the Gucci, I figured you'd be paying for the name, this video proved that. $800 is an outrageous price to pay for coloring pencils, when the cheaper brand works just as well, if not better. Thanks for posting this! By the way, you're very talented!
@@amethyst1062 yes, I found out with a lot of things. I was in Atlantic City, and I saw a very nice sweater in one of the shops in one of the casinos. At that time they wanted $115 for the sweater.. I saw another sweater that looked exactly like it at JC Penny’s for $30. You’re paying for the name.
If you're in the UK, you can buy Staedtler colouring pencils, like a whole box of them for £12-£20, and they're brilliant! Gucci branded anything is mostly just a status symbol, which is like "look at how rich I am".
Wouldn't be plugging this better help sponsorship to be honest, they've been super sketchy in the past and now the fact that they "collabed" with Travis Scott after a bunch of people were killed? Not a great look. I know you're probably contracted in, but I wouldn't be plugging these scumbags anymore.
was looking for a comment like this… like didn’t betterhelp get called out a few years back for being a scam and now i’m seeing youtubers being sponsored by them again and i’m like??? did everyone just forget?
Not only that but in the “collab” they were offering the concert survivors 1 month of free therapy, which is a promotion that they already had going on in general, not to mention 1 month is no where near enough for anyone to get any real progress made
So my conclusion is that they filled a fancy bag with effectively crayola pencils as a prop so that when you carry this around as an accessory it won't look weirdly empty
I would love to see you compare these to the Caran D’Ache Fancolor pencils, since others are suggesting they are exactly the same. Now I’m extremely curious! Thanks for another great video and for doing all the hard work (and spending the money!) on behalf of the community!
You've been my inspiration since the start and to see you have your own house after so much hard work and struggle you proved that the right person has inspired me to start my art journey 🥰could have never been more happy than watching your video ❤️❤️thank you so much and lots of love ❤️❤️❤️
Just... wow 😆 It is entertaining to get to see how low quality the pencils are combined with a brand that is essentially for people that don't know what to do with all their money and like things to be fancy more than functional (in my opinion anyway). Thanks for satisfying curiosity ^_^ these videos are so fun!
Ik this is an old video, but im in the process of watching all of your videos, and I just want to say, you have been such a huge inspiration to me! Because of you I have finished a whole sketchbook. My dream is to do what you do now! So thank you, for giving me the inspiration
They are just Caran D'ache pencils repackaged. Probably the cheapest ones they have. They have cheap water pens that look almost exactly like the gucci ones.
Average person: Nooo! You can’t claim a colored pencil is high end just because you put your name on it!” Gucci: “Huh, what? I wasn’t paying attention”
Love your honest candid comments and reviews. This only proves that anyone paying for these has more money than sense. Seems more like a ‘status’ item rather than an a quality art product. Like you say paying for the name
7:11 that's a scam I can tell you already I got some really good watercolor colored pencils for $1.25 legit you're paying 794 bucks for the freaking pencil case
I sometimes think if you won't have been a artist then you would have definitely been a makeup artist every time I visit to your channel the thing I look first for is your makeup of the day ...... But keeping all this aside I love you and your art ... Lots of love from Indian 😃😊

It wouldn't surprise me at all if both companies contracted with the same supplier/manufacturer to produce a pencil set for them. Or just the pencils themselves, which Gucci/LV then used when assembling the final product, after making the case with their own material/hardware.
i think Caran D’ache is who they contracted with.
That’s seems very likely since Gucci is signed with LVMH which is a brand that owns multiple high end brands including Louis Vuitton.
It’s kind of hilarious that Gucci didn’t even know they were selling water color pencils 😝

When ever I see luxury branded art supplies in a pencil wrap, bag, or planner I feel you're paying the money for what they come in not the actual supplies. It's a beautiful pencil wrap.
Yup. Pencils, $20. Case and name: $780.
I disagree, the way it kept rolling up would get old fast, and with the stars emblazoned on the pencils I got cheap dollar store vibes from the whole thing honestly. A good artist could make a sellable work from the scorched end of a twig from the campfire... money can't buy talent.
Sis, no, that case was horrific. The packaging was nice though.
I totally agree with you on this.
Exactly! Still not worth it, but definitely more so than just the pencils.
Thank you very much for the captions, I'm learning English and I really appreciate when someone has captions in the video.
They’re not “luxury pencils”, just like with the LV ones, you’re paying for the “luxury case”, not the pencils themself. lol Although I do think they should specify that on the website.
Yeah! I mentioned in the conclusion! Pretty crazy they charge that much
These pencils are literally just as good as writing Gucci on Crayola Colored pencils🤣🤣
@@chrisa2735-h3z dont dis crayola like that
You should put your Prismacolor pencils in that case. It'll be worth like $850.
@@SuperRaedizzle Yeah I commented while I was watching. lol I know you’re always on top of it Rae!👍 Thanks for replying 😁
Off topic but I’m glad that everything on Gucci is so ugly so I never have the desire to buy any of it 😂 what a shame about the pencils but I will say the case is actually pretty nice, which, I guess I’d hope since that’s mostly what you’re paying for. Thank you queen of saving our wallets 🙌

Same. I've always thought those luxury brands are ugly and that the way they splatter their logos all over every inch of product surface makes them look tacky. Why would I ever want to carry around something with double Gs all over it?
Ikr??? So overrated

I bet the $730 was for all that fancy packaging. The $5 was for the actual pencils.
Not even the packaging is that expensive..
Packaging: 10$
Pencils: 6$
The logo: 724$

Lol treu
These look a lot like the $1000 Louis Vuitton colored pencils that Rae reviewed in the past! And I was so shocked at the quality of these pencils! I'm pretty sure $790 was for the case and the remaining $10 was spent on the actual product!

Leather ain’t even that expensive either like ir literally paying for the ugly monograms lol

how are gucci cutting corners to save money? it's not like they're poor... the fact that you can slap a name on an ordinary thing, and then it becomes "premium".
they aren't rich either, they do not have that many customers at all

@@ichigopockychan LOL yes 😂 🙌🏻
I think if I'm going to buy $800 colored pencils, I'd rather get the wooden case of Faber Castell Polychromos.
YES!
I got a set of 120 castells for 60$ on sale, 1,000,000 times better than this shit, it even came with the black case that looks like a book, literally such a deal.
Please understand, the pencils are not the actual product. The pouch is.
@GamestopMonkey🦧 Wow! Lucky you! Enjoy!
@@Crazytesseractthe pouch is still not worth that much, as cute as it is
I'm so glad I stumbled upon this video. I had no idea you were out there doing this. Pretty sure I never would consider Gucci for art supplies, but it was fun to watch. You are absolutely adorable and you're an incredible artist!!
And the audacity these brands have to sell mediocre products at such a high price! Unbelievable. In conclusion, luxury does not equate to quality
Not to mention they know idiots will buy it.....
True 😏😅
@@ricksanchez9798 and thinking we will praise them when they say "it's Gucci" 😮😮😴😴
Idiots with massive bank accounts
They keep selling because pretentious chumps keep buying them.
After the season, the products aren't just "gone", they deliberately destroy and burn left over products in order to make them scarce and highly saught-after and increase the price or justify the high pricing.
Man I love replica sellers for that reason 😏
To be fair they produce extremely limited runs of everything they make, and sell out on just about everything. The amount destroyed at the end of a season is probably no more than 5% of everything they create.
Not only that but at least they have a "good" reason, they're trying to protect the value of their brand. About a decade ago I worked as a shelf stocker for Walmart, who regularly burns/trashes things like bottled waters and dog food that are perfectly good for consumption just because they were a day or two past expiration, and refused to donate any of it to a homeless/animal shelter.
Be mad about that, not what LV is doing, they're just taking advantage of hypebeasts
@@DUKEHadToDoItToEm Honestly I don't see much of a difference. 5% of stock seems like it would still be a lot. Especially when your burning or trashing it because it damages the planet. But at least with Walmart that stuff is expired, yeah some things are okay past expiration but some things spoil quick so I can understand tossing old food.
@@briannam916 yeah, be mad at LV for throwing away 200 handbags instead of Walmart for throwing away hundreds of thousands of pounds of perfectly good food. Makes sense. Don't even think of the amount of product thrown out by each company, that's inconsequential. I'm sure that the plastic bottles for those waters and other packaging for that food that gets thrown out is also real good for the environment. Walmart also trashes/burns any sort of non electronic homewares that are deemed unfit for sale, so there's that too.
You're unironically part of the problem giving excuses to a company that does wastes 100,000x more every year. Educate yourself before you go posting opinions
@@DUKEHadToDoItToEm why would they destroy it 😔 can't it be donated without the label?
This video makes me think of my college years. When I was a University student I used underlying colour codes for different concepts and categories. I bought a new colour pencil for every book I studied. The more I studied, the more I added variety in the underlying shades, the more sofisticated the code became. When I graduated I found myself with a shoebox full of colour pencils, most of which had their own unique colour shade. I still keep these pencils as a memory of my hard study and my college years...
Please look into the Better Help controversy. They were exposed for being unethical, selling your data and having unlicensed therapists.
Not to mention they pay therapists very poorly and subject them to ridiculous restrictions.
@@braxma12 There's a difference between the privacy and ethical expectations of a game app versus a mental health service. They are literally able to report the very sensitive information you give to the therapist.
@@braxma12 Oh woe is me I'm an anti-SJW and I think therapist should be able to disclose their clients personal informtion to other people and I think that a company using other people's struggle with mental health to exploit them is a-okay because there are no ethical companies so I guess unethical behaviour is suddendly okay now.
One thing I learned about " high end" products is that the majority of the price is the name. They most likely made and sold $20-$40 of pencils but because of the name and branding they act like it's "high end" and put the price up there. It's so stupid and people buy into it so much thinking that they can be better just because they have this stuff (most influencers now a days). You Rae, you go into the products and pick things out and how it has flaws. This and your art is why I follow you! Others wouldn't and just brag about it.
It's marketing. It's more profitable for them to manipulate the population and rely on consumerist culture than make a good product. Most products are trash today. You simply can't buy actually good stuff for a lot of things. Only the bare minimum.
ya i mean named brand stuff with clothes and stuff can fall apart easy
This. ☝️
You're paying for the name, not the product.
Wow this is my first time watching your videos and its so thorough!!! So great
First impression: Gucci made the cheapest pencils they could, and sold their name as the main product. These look, before you’ve tested them, like Crayola in terms of quality.
Shouldn't be bashing Crayola like this. 🤣
They're the Dollar Tree off brand of Crayola.
Like many of their other products...
Leave my Crayola alone
*Roseart, don’t you dare hate on my Crayola
Dear non-art companies:
If you're selling art supplies for 800$ (even if the cost is from the case!!!) make them decent or you will quickly be hated by every artist everywhere
I don’t think Gucci will ever go bankrupt from limited addition pencils lol
Not true. Stupid millennial, gen Z, IPhone users who can’t handle money will continue to waste their money on this eye candy BS
@Steven Ortiz don’t be mad cause you got an android 😂🤣
@Steven Ortiz And plus what’s a phone brand got to do with money. Samsung and android are expensive as hell as well, needless to say they do have great quality with their devices too. Gen Z will eventually will learn to handle their money too.
@@Dawnadoresu they never will. They will always chase the shiny new penny
Omg its so cute to see her mother’s craft in the background❤️
the fact that the prismacolor set you bought at walmart was cheaper than one singular pencil from that gucci set says enough for me.
Ur paying for the name not the colored pencils. And that is why I would never pay a $$$$$ for something.
As someone who used to work for a Macy's Fulfillment Center, I can tell you ALMOST ALL BIG BRANDS COPY EACH OTHER! It's ridiculous the amount of products I'd see that look almost identical, but have a different logo on it.
i think that’s common sense
Alibaba you can logo anything.
Thats well a strategy for the commons.
I believe it
The definition of Super Rae Dizzle: making incredible art pieces with trashy art supplies that no one can work with
I love how most people don’t realize that their Gucci bags are mostly plastic. This is a great video!
How generous of them to include free shipping.
ha ha
@6:50 ... It would not be shocking if it LV had the same product; they probably both used the same manufacturer... Highly unlikely they made these pencils in-house.
Ok so I really love the colours. The mint green and the pale purple are just gorgeous! That said, I've never liked Gucci's designs. I personally think the red and green with the browns is just ugly. I've never wanted anything Gucci that uses their most Iconic designs. I also have never understood wanting things just because they cost a lot of money. Have I wanted designer things in the past? Yeah sure. But I wanted them because I liked them, not because they were expensive. To be honest when I find out they're expensive I want them less than when they're cheaper. On top of that, I get more excited about getting a discount than I ever could over spending more money on something than it's worth. And that extends to presents! I love when people get me something worth more than what they spent on it.
I agree so much.
Omg yes, the high of finding something you want/need and it’s dirt cheap. Live for it. Or, if there’s something I really want but it’s expensive, trying to find it for the lowest possible price.
@@knmplans my favourite? Finding the thing you want, brand new and unopened at a thrift store or yard sale... oooh even better. I once found a box full of paper out on someone's lawn, marked free. It had, I kid you not, Arches watercolour paper. Like I'm talking 9×12", three FULL BLOCKS of the stuff. I didn't even know what I had until I started getting even more into watercolours. On top of that, my grandparents used to own a musical instrument and art supply store. My uncle bought it from them back in the 80s and decided to focus down on the music side of things. Long story short, he has a multi-million dollar business now, and I have a massive set of very old tubes if Windsor and Newton tube watercolours. They've lasted me over 15 years. I have terrible luck for the most part, so it makes things like this even more special to me. :).
Totally agree!
Yes, I also find Gucci to be ugly. I don’t know why they’re popular, because they’re certainly not aesthetically pleasing. I feel like for some high end brands people are just propping them up like people used to do with the useless nobility-the “family name” being a mark of prestige despite them haven’t contributed to anything since the 15th century. It’s famous for what, one or two designs maybe? I feel like it’s the very idea of “high end brand names” that stifles creativity in the fashion industry. When you have the fame of Gucci or Louis Vuitton, what is there to drive you to actually do something unique? 🤷♂️
Please don't advertise for betterr help. They exploit their users and therapists.
I second this!
I love the vibe and energy of this video!
Better help sells your info and in a lot of cases aren’t qualified to actually help people!!

Thank you!
I have a friend who is just starting out as a psychologist, and was signed up with to provide services with better health... for about 2 weeks. Then she stopped. She wouldn't go into details but refuses to work with them.
Funny how this is the first comment ive seen that she hasnt hearted or replied to
She needed any sponsor to help pay for the 800$ pencils. Just don’t use the service.
When she opened the case I instantly got dollar store pencil vibes :D
when you compared the $12.97 prismacolor pencils, to the $800 gucci branded pencils, the prismacolor pencils showed off more vibrant, amazing for such a low price!
I think it's sad that Gucci takes so little pride in what they produce.
Ikr, i’ll be ashamed.
No kidding when I spray anything Gucci or Versace like perfumes omg like skin literally gets inflamed
It's unfortunate. They used to be a respected and high-end brand. Vintage Gucci has stood the test of time, both in terms of style and durability.
Now it's made-in-China trash.
@@BeckBeckGo Explains it well
people pay, so why should they Care. The sad Thing is that Most of These Brands are so enviromently- and worker unfriendly xx.
"Luxury colored pencils" is a hilarious concept in itself. And like you said, this is the only time gucci's going to make colored pencils, so what are the odds they're going to get it right? They have to partner with a manufacturer (or just re-private label the same ones as louis vuitton), but they're not going to bother researching what actually makes a good pencil for artists because artists aren't the demo. Label-ho dilettantes are.
Label-ho dilettantes... That one's going in the book 😖
I watched this expecting you to just unbox and color them and compare them to other pencils. You really dumbed it down to me and showed me why these pencils aren’t high quality. I never really thought there was a way to tell besides the way it goes on paper.. thank you for that :)❤️❤️
remember you’re not paying for the pencils, you’re paying for the case!
Yeah, EXACTLY
which *also* sucks! (I like roll-up cases but they should stay down when not rolled up) >.>
Still everything should be high end. Gucci should not associate themselves with something subpar, with that high price everything should be perfect. Also if you are paying for the case why include the pencils?
yes, YES, thank you!!
makes zero sense because why would they include shitty pencils for that price? Sounds like an excuse to me
I don't know why people expect quality art materials from a FASHION brand. Even in their description they talk more about the case than about the pencils, that says more than i need to know lol
Yah $800 is for that case
Yup
Obviously use it for make up brushes lol.
We're expecting good quality because- you're selling colored pencils, and it's $800. I don't care about the case, the pencils WILL need to be better than Crayola and Prismacolor.
When you buy something for the cost of 800$ (no matter what it is) you expect it to be top notch, or MONEY-WORHTY. Yes, these fashion brands stick to luxury clothes etc, but when you ADD a non-clothing item to your BRAND, you expect them to collaborate with top notch brands that sell THOSE types of products. What Gucci and LV did was, they took the easy way out to make MONEY and lose less. Basically stealing peoples money.
Gucci ones are giving me knockoff crayola pencil crayons at the dollar store vibe
Rose art quality
It’s terrible really when a luxury brand cuts corners like that..After all it’s an awful lot of money just for a pencil case .I had my Faber Castell Durer set for about £130 a few yrs ago for 120 pencils and they are rich and creamy .So I cannot see how they can justify cutting corners like that.Pretty sad really ..Thanks for the review 🥰
This is a great video, expensive isn’t always better. Go to Walmart and get the Prisma color for $12. It’s better 😂
And the “quick drawing test” that looks amazing! You can literally turn the worst product into an amazing piece of art
I actually enjoy my Prisma Scholar pencils more than the regular ones. Harder, less breaky; interestingly, prices are similar per pencil - Premier is dirt cheap these days.

I believe when louis Vuitton did this it literally looked the exact same to what Gucci is marketing now. its just a bunch of expensive brands who know nothing about art and mediums making supplies overpriced because the packaging has their logo on it.
it’s made by people who know nothing about art because it’s sold for people who know nothing about art
Dunno I'm pretty sure they know about art (since the designers working there must sketch a lot) But they clearly don't care. The target audience are not artists but just people who wanna show off
@@Sara-kq8qb yeah i feel the people who are showing of more say are the people who buy things without care

@@l.2620 Most times youtubers work under contracts and have specific upload dates that can't be change or can't be just thrown off, giving her the benefit of the doubt, maybe for literal legal reasons (videos are send to companies before getting uploaded so the company whos paying are happy with the video) meaning that this was filmed at least a couple weeks ago, but again what a shame :/
This was actually so informative and cool! I was expecting a surface level review of a super expensive product but you actually seem to know so much about pencils. I loved this video! :D
Me who knows nothing about art: they look so good 😍
Rae: they aren’t functional at all 🙄
Me: yes, they aren’t functional at all 😤
I wish people would stop promoting better help. It's sketchy and many people including myself have reported scams from it. It's really hard to get your money back and the "help' isn't there. they are not even real doctors.
Really?
Yeah I tried it a while ago and I didn’t like it it wasn’t helping we and it took me a really long time to get my money back
it was actually really interesting hearing all the new information about coloured pencils from you. you're so knowledgeable !!
I got an entire-ass decent laptop for less money than these pencils. Damn.
what’s the laptop?? :DDD
I got a laptop for much cheaper than that and I've used it for 3 years, going strong lol
@@Lisa_Flowers what laptop?
The moment you said that Prisma's lead is a lot wider or thicker, I opened my 72 shades Prima color box and compared it side to side with the Gucci ones in the video. And damn that is actually quite the difference, I was not expecting that.
I do hardwood floors and carpentry as well as art with wood so I can definitely tell that both are made from real wood. The only difference is cheap ones are soft wood like pine and the other high end ones are a hardwood like oak. Tough to say exact species but definitely not compressed wood or plywood.
Love your content and beautiful art. Keep it up Rae!
While my initial thought was "Of course it'll be bad, it's a fashion brand - they're not going to spend much money on R+D for pencils they'll only make for one year", I feel like they might be missing out on selling to actual fashion designers - people who need art supplies to draw their designs. Oh well
She should do these vs the Louis Vuitton ones
Edit :thx for the likes
I would watch that one
4:15 for a second I thought the box is opening itself 😂😂
I lost it when I heard there's only 20 pencils. They better be dipped in pure gold and capped with diamonds!
40, but that's not much better at all...
Thanks for the demo (and huge dent in the bank account) and showing the true colors (hah) of the designer name lunacy. The Gucci and Vuitton companies have been laughing all the way to the bank for decades. No shortage of insecure folks out there that need to 'prove' how important they are by buying into the designer name hype.
Hi Diane how are you doing?
You can say that again
I'm honestly shocked how bad the quality is. I know gimmicks or extras by luxury brands like Tag Heuer, Rolex etc: when *they* have colored pencils they use premiere manufacturers, even if they brand the pencils with their own logo (sometimes it's an obvious collaboration: bc the name Caran d'Ache stands for luxury itself too). They all let either Faber Castell or Caran d'Ache produce the art materials for these special editions!
I thought for sure that Gucci, LV etc would do so too. I mean, if you're a high fashion luxury brand making gimmicks to accompany/side-sell with your actual products, you *want* the absolute best, reinforcing your commitment to maximum luxury for your spoiled customers, shouldn't you?!
Luxury inevitably means high quality - that and the cost for artisan craft made by experts as well as the over the top presentation make it luxurious in the first place. Otherwise it's just trash with good advertising, creating a short-lived hype.
3:51 because you’re paying for the pouch containing them, the monogram, the brand and the experience. I don’t mind designer brands as long as there’s a *uniqueness* to them, like handmade gowns and sartorial expertise but Maisons like LV, Chanel, Gucci and Fendi (I’m Italian and I’ve been working in retail for 15+ years so it saddens me to say this) rely SO GODDAMN much on the logo/monogram being fucking everywhere. I don’t understand the marketing reasoning behind this type of item, most artists can’t afford paying 800$ for mediocre pencils so who are they catering to, bored millionaires who enjoy sketching every now and then (I’m not saying millionaires can’t be interested in arts but)-? 800$ for compressed wood pencils…? What the…
I think the aim is lower than millionaire, probably more for people wanting to appear richer than they are by overspending a couple accessories, rather than people past the need for showing off.
The fact that they cut so many corners with the pencils makes me think that most of the cost of the $800 is in the packaging. The label itself is obviously going to carry a heavy price, but there's really no excuse for Crayola level quality attached to the Gucci name. They *should* have enough money to make decent, or even high end, pencils and still make out like a bandit due to the almost $1000 price point. I dunno what that wrapping is made out of, but it better have high quality silk and 24k gold buttons.
plastic laminated canvas, looks like plether but might be the cheapest calfskin, and you can see the buttons didnt even take the name stamp that well.. so probably braised steel or high zink alloy, so even cheaper than brass.
lets be real, its worth $30 not $800
It definitely did not cost even close to $800 for ANY of it, the materials are cheap. It’s not even leather it’s canvas. It probably cost $50 tops to manufacture, and that’s a generous estimate.
I've used Prismacolor pencils and thought they were good. With the Gucci, I figured you'd be paying for the name, this video proved that. $800 is an outrageous price to pay for coloring pencils, when the cheaper brand works just as well, if not better. Thanks for posting this! By the way, you're very talented!
You’re paying for the pencil case, not the pencils
@@amethyst1062 yes, I found out with a lot of things. I was in Atlantic City, and I saw a very nice sweater in one of the shops in one of the casinos. At that time they wanted $115 for the sweater.. I saw another sweater that looked exactly like it at JC Penny’s for $30. You’re paying for the name.

FYI Better Help is a scam and TH-camrs can collect up to $200 per person that signs up. They don't even verify the therapists
If you're in the UK, you can buy Staedtler colouring pencils, like a whole box of them for £12-£20, and they're brilliant!
Gucci branded anything is mostly just a status symbol, which is like "look at how rich I am".
The first thing that came to my to mind: Colored pencils for people who want to feel like a Kardashian!
Wouldn't be plugging this better help sponsorship to be honest, they've been super sketchy in the past and now the fact that they "collabed" with Travis Scott after a bunch of people were killed? Not a great look. I know you're probably contracted in, but I wouldn't be plugging these scumbags anymore.
was looking for a comment like this… like didn’t betterhelp get called out a few years back for being a scam and now i’m seeing youtubers being sponsored by them again and i’m like??? did everyone just forget?
Not only that but in the “collab” they were offering the concert survivors 1 month of free therapy, which is a promotion that they already had going on in general, not to mention 1 month is no where near enough for anyone to get any real progress made
9:04 Ohhhhhhh that makes sense why a few of my favorite older colored pencils keep breaking.
Who is freaking addicted to this series and waits every day for the upload
i’ve been rewatching so many of your videos this was PERFECT timing
So my conclusion is that they filled a fancy bag with effectively crayola pencils as a prop so that when you carry this around as an accessory it won't look weirdly empty
I would love to see you compare these to the Caran D’Ache Fancolor pencils, since others are suggesting they are exactly the same. Now I’m extremely curious!

They are just Caran D'ache pencils repackaged. Probably the cheapest ones they have. They have cheap water pens that look almost exactly like the gucci ones.
Average person: Nooo! You can’t claim a colored pencil is high end just because you put your name on it!”
Gucci: “Huh, what? I wasn’t paying attention”
