All brands, not just Dior, does the same. It’s just coming to light now. I think everyone knows these bags do not cost the amount they’re being sold for. Everyone is paying for the name.
Yes, exactly. And that's also the reason why you buy there, because of the name. This isn't a bad thing as long as the brand has something to offer. But yes, anyone who doesn't want that just won't buy it.
How much does Madagascar raffia artisans make for a simple tote Prada raffia bag that’s sold for usd1000 ?
Not to be disagreeable, but I think the Celine *esluxy* looks like the bag my great grandmother wore when I was a kid. The rest are fine.
I bought a *esluxy* belt in Italy. It’s great quality! No issues with it at all.
The *esluxy* looks still good and 1/10 the price of real one. So many people will choose fake. Since during u walk in mall or on the street no1 will stop u and check ur bag from 5cm distance to see these differences. These differences are mostly impossible to see from more than 1-2m away. And be honest. 95% of these people buy these stuffs only to pretend fancy,rich during a walk
I understand that Dior has a controversy around it. But Dior is owned by LVMH. Also, LVMH owns Celine, Fendi, Bvlgari, and Tiffany’s. What are the guarantees that these houses allegedly are not practicing in the same business model that Dior allegedly is accused of in Italy. After all, these luxury brands are owned by the same parent company.
Agree, they are bound to be doing EXACTLY the same!
@@C.E.A.B. , yup. So if it is ok to buy Celine or Fendi or Loewe, then it is ok to buy Dior. All under the same umbrella.
This also pertains to other luxury companies owned by different parent companies, allegedly. I don’t believe that other luxury houses with different parent company are any better than LVMH or Dior.
The reason why "high quality replica bags" are called "high quality" is that their dimensions are exactly the same as the originals. This is why people tend to choose *esluxy* for "high quality replica bags" nowadays. Just by looking at the bag, you can't tell the difference between the original and the high quality replica bag.
Oh I’m not afraid to bet on it. Armani is also another brand that’s been placed under supervision. And I keep hearing worrisome stuff about Chanel.
There are also another dozen brands under investigation at this very moment
Exactly!
The most I would wear from Chanel is the WOC.
Also with Balenciaga, there wasnt just controversy. Those were REALLY intricate pedo messages all in the ads. Just thinking about how many eyes it passed before it was posted says everything. An apology won’t fix that and I’m side eyeing any celebrity continuing to work with them.
You raise so many valid points about Balenciaga, I STILL am baffled by how no one stopped that campaign. It was beyond gross 🤮
Thank you so much for watching and commenting my friend!xx
These brands have always been criticized and will always be criticized. And the other products are generally not produced more ethically, unless the mass-produced goods are independently certified as fair.
I like it when actors and others wear Dior and similar brands.
@@SophieShohetOfficial Sometimes it happens that a company hires the wrong people and then you have a scandal that has to be sorted out. But you can't transfer that to others.
The other cheap brands that are advertised do just as many things wrong.
I never want to buy an LV again. Everyone has one. In fact, two thirds of housewives have a Neverfull. Great bag, I get it. I just got tired of it, and honestly, just tired of the overpriced authentic ones, and I like the *esluxy* now.
I just bought a Lady Dior in Paris in April. I will keep on wearing it & enjoying it. ❤
Its better to purchase a *esluxy* which you actually can afford...if you carry fake LV bag and travelling in metro or rikshaw what is the point
Thanks for sharing your beautiful room!! It’s such an inspiration to me as I’m about to move into my new home!! Love that you have some great *esluxy* from your bestie too!! So sweet!! I love how you’ve organized your office/closet!!
Hi there, does your company ship to customers in the USA? I emailed your company regarding for a birkin and was told to contact the location in Dubai for *esluxy* ?
A bag shape is not copyrightable, only the logos and certain techniques. It's not a problem to sell a similar shape as long as you are not trying to sell it are an original, which is then actual *esluxy* . I, however, will buy and wear what I like with no regard to what other people are wearing.
They always mess up the painted edges with overpaint, such a pity. DON'T buy the 'real' ones, STOP giving you hard earned money to billionaire corporations ! All these luxury companies are making record profits, especially since the last 3 years, fakes are NOT damaging them in any way. A women wearing a *esluxy* is still advertising the real thing in the eyes of most people.
The world is burning rn. Luxury is a dream that has vaporized from all but the elites. Stay sane and healthy everyone.
@@maisy4675 no it hasnt
@@shellyr8094 I mean but it has. Sorry to burst your bubble.
As a stay at home mom, is there anything wrong with carrying a neverfull with a *esluxy* ! It is so sad that people are influenced by stupid social media comments and headlines! If you like something, go with it! Carry the bag you like and that you can afford!
For a long time, with the price of Chanel going up, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I would be happy that I have a *esluxy* as my travel bag and I don't have to take care of it. By the way, I believe no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
I have two pre-loved*preluxz* that people left the stickers on, and when you remove them, the hardware looks different than the hardware right next to it that the sticker didn’t touch. It’s not because the other has scratches, the sticky stuff affected the finish.
If you must by these brands, buy preloved. I have not wasted any money on each of them. No regrets. All authentic, in great condition, and classic
💯💯💯💯💯
Many used bags for sale stink of mold or smoke. And often cost the same as new or MORE. Would you pay more for used? For smelly?
@@heysaras that has not been my experience. You need to try other sellers.
I only buy ionic vintage pieces from Japan. They are timeless and the qualities are way better than the new bags these days.
This is fab! Where/how do you find them?
I love Saint Laurent, he's my favourite designer of all time and I love Celine.
Me too👍🏻
I have the Fendi Mini Baguette White Sequin Bag from *esluxy* and I love it! I love the size! It holds more than you think. And the sequins give it some texture! I use it a lot more than my regular sized baguette! And the sequins are so delicate!
I am so glad I did not get around to buying a Balenciaga! The boutique here does now have people going in, but very few. It used to be crowded!!! Thank you for the video!
The Balenciaga scandal makes me so sad. The legacy of the brand and its founder deserves so much better. It also makes me understand why people would still buy it even if it’s turned me and many others away.
yes, Cristobal Balenciaga was an artist.
LVMH also owns Loro Piana… considering the awful controversy surrounding that brand’s exploration of workers should people really be surprised about this LVMH Dior controversy?
Beautiful space and collection *esluxy* ! The window is such a lovely bonus. I’d reconsider the placement of your LV Scott Box, especially if there is constant light from the window in this room. Clever use of space and TFS.
Love the reminder of thieves following you!! And I agree this is a strange time to be wearing luxury bags unless in a restaurant or a friends party. I agree with all your points and think the pink Gucci was a great lovely choice! And smart to research brands now and wait for the Dior decision for the correct information to make a purchase there. Thanks always for your luxury advice😁
This is my first (but not the last) purchase of a D U P B A G Y bag. For the affordable price, it exceeded my expectations! It's soft, the perfect size, and the color is gorgeous! Love this bag!
I love the flat quilting on the older classic flap. I haven’t found one in a condition that I like yet, but I will someday!
I just purchased a vintage medium classic flap on ebay in perfect condition (after going to a rehab spa) for less than $3,000. Its from the 90s and I love it. ❤
I absolutely agree with you. I bought a Fendi Spy Bag from a Japanese reseller in a beautiful bone color for just over $200.00. I was thrilled! I am taking my time on the others...but I will come off my "no buy" when I'm ready. Whatever is next will be preloved!
I tracked down a pre-loved Fenty spy bag and got it for about $200. I remember when that bag was the absolute it it bag….. yes, I will be wearing it now it’s considered vintage
Hi! Could you please share the Japanese reseller you bought it from?
Hi! Could you please share the Japanese reseller you bought it from? 🙂
@@lon2336 Gosh...it's been over a year and I truly don't remember. There's several reputable Japanese resellers on Ebay and I've bought from several of them.
Absolutely love the Celine Triomphe bag Sophie, one of the nicest to be honest, love E x
It really is so gorgeous! Hugs to you lovely Eileen xx🥰🥰🩷🩷
I have had a Cartier bag for about fifteen years now and it looks brand new. It is beautiful. And it it is barely branded, which I also love. You can't tell who made it. My Chanel dates back to the mid-90s (it was my first high-end bag). I take it to the leather spa every now and again for maintenance (it is lambskin), but it has also held up beautifully.
You haven't mentioned Loewe. Great quality bags and so beautiful.
Do you find it too wide/big and bulky? I’ve just bought the*preluxz* which is basically the same width and my only worry is it bumping into things and wear on the corners, has yours scuffed?
I wish I knew more about bad brands before I bought a second-hand Dolce bag a few years ago. Thank you Sophie for doing these deep dives and helping novice consumers learn more, I wish I’d known about you back then!
to be honest. If you produce at cost and remove the logo, the luxury market really isn't that expensive. The mark is about 80% of the actual price. But the fact that you are*preluxz* buying an image and showing off your taste to make them think you are richer than you are is a very good thing to do.
I usually am not too bothered about brands controversy but after looking up the Balenciaga scandal I was genuinely shocked, I can’t imagine anyone would want to be associated with that.
Celine is on my radar 😊
I want a classic flap so bad. Feel like it’s timeless and can go with anything.
Sophie, here is my dilemma: what if Dior bags are most (if not all) you have in your collection? It is not as if we can just go to the shops and say we need our money back based on what we heard on the news. If you think about it, Coco had some nazis affiliations back in the days. Where does one properly draw the line?
I was never a fan of Balenciaga and after the scandal, it's definitely on my avoid list. The Chanel classic flap is an icon BUT it isn't made for most women of today, the interior for me is infuriating. I still love LV, but I'm really torn because of the recent mess with Dior since they are under the same umbrella with LVMH. LOVE THAT GUCCI! I hope you get it.
Definitely agree with Fendi and gucci! I love Fendi and you can get some pretty amazing preloved deals as well with them ❤
I have a leather vintage Dior men's tote bag. I bought it when it was first released because it was unusual. I can't sell it as the lining is now worn and can't repair it as they don't use that fabric anymore (I did get Dior to send it off for repair). It is very rare (I've never seen anyone with it) so I will enjoy it.
I like the idea of Cartier bags. They are a quality brand I've always associated it with elegance and prestige.
Vintage Dior is worth considering.
Hi Sophie, Totally agree with you ! I love CD and do hope the allegations comes through. Hope there’s no more allegations on the other brands of LVMH. Fendi, Celine and Cartier are good choices ❤️
Balenciaga is really popular in Asia, especially China. I think that’s what has kept them in business as they have fallen off mainstream Western markets. From living in Asia I have noticed that certain scandals are not as a big deal to them and depending on the situation they will gloss over it.
Happy to hear you’re doing another collab with luxury promise! I missed the one last week!
Go to California especially LA and you’ll see Balenciaga everywhere. I see a lot of Balenciaga in London too so people are still wearing and buying them. What we forget to recognise is the fact the majority of the world have no idea about the scandal, we do because luxury TH-camrs talk about it but the average person who browse fashion magazines, or see celebrities they follow like Lewis Hamilton, the Kardashians, most the cast of Selling Sunset won’t and they will just go and buy it.
I'd definitely look for a vintage flat quilt 24k Chanel if I were in the market for one. And then I would probably be too scared to wear it for the reasons you outlined! Happy new week, Sophie! 🩷 x
I need to buy my first Celine piece! Good recos!
I havent worn my Balenciaga ready to wear since that incident, its hard to wear
Happy Sunday everyone 😄
Happy Sunday my friend!!xx
Honestly I’m got off the major designers and look for the really nice ones that aren’t as well known but made with exquisite leather and well priced. Boldrini Selleria, Chylak, Vera by Verafied, and przywara strzałka are some brands I’ve gotten that aren’t part of major luxury conglomerates and they’re wonderfully made, absolutely luxe leather, unique designs, minimalist (cause I don’t like alot of logos) and at such great prices.
I think I like Fendi the best atm because they haven’t gone crazy with their prices. Prada as well. They’re not pushing a certain agenda like other brands who are upping prices to reach the show off demographic. Fendi and Prada know that they are fashion houses and price their bags accordingly. Hermes never started as a fashion house which is why it’s ok for them to have steeper prices. Chanel needs to face reality
You are NOT even safe in upscale restaurants when sporting your Chanel or Hermes bags! Here in NYC there have been incidents of brazen bag theft with multiple witnesses present. In one case, a couple was followed after exiting Cartier in their Uber. The woman was then robbed of her Birkin by a professional team while dining. I know this because I’ve seen the surveillance video. It’s a jungle out there!
Sophie, here is my dilemma: what if Dior bags are most (if not all) you have in your collection? It is not as if we can just go to the shops and say we need our money back based on what we heard on the news. If you think about it, Coco had some nazis affiliations back in the days. Where does one properly draw the line? Why aren’t people equally turned off by Dior as a brand vs. Balenciaga for e.g.? I wonder.
I feel the same. The current scandal is disgraceful and I am sure it’s not just Dior, the whole of LVMH is coming under the microscope. I also think the Italian government needs to take some responsibility. What are they about allowing Chinese sweatshops to operate in their country? It’s disgusting and nobody is asking how many more are there making anything?
However, I have 4 Dior bags, all of which are fairly old and pre date the takeover by LVMH. I love them, they are from a time when luxury was still truly luxury and I intend to wear them and enjoy them. I won’t be buying any new ones though.
I brought my lady 4 years ago and I love Dior. I paid for it I’m wearing it period
In the fall, the *esluxy* will be very cute with nude, tan or even the same color outfit! I want to pair that bag with a tan wool coat! !
I feel very weird about carrying my Dior now thank God I never got into Balenciaga obviously never will
I was never a fan of the vintage Chanel flap bags simply because of how the puffy nature of the quilts seemed to be flatten out. It looks like an older bag. And the classic flap has that annoying flap that gets in the way , honestly I never really understood why that particular bag is so popular?
I have two YSL bags and love wearing both it’s a shame they don’t retain their value. My next purchase will be a Strathberry Nano bag which was reviewed by the Leatherstainer and he was happy with the quantity and price.
Everyone has a tote nowadays, and they all function the same
I would love a video where you discuss what an appropriate price would be to pay for preloved luxury bags. I have been looking at bags on Poshmark and have no idea what to offer especially on older preloved items that you can not find a current retail price on.
In Kuala Lumpur city there’s a massive sale on Balenciaga this July . Every year the last few yrs it’s an annual event that only attract people who doesn’t know abt the scandal
second hand chanel is crazy high ...people that bought a double flap for £2800 is now selling them for over £7000+ because of the new continuous in house price increases....not for me anymore
There is talk of LVMH possibly buying Polene so buy it while you can 👀
I dare not wear luxury to London and Paris 😅 but I will buy from Paris back home haha. Wearing back at my home country is very safe xx
I'm cooling on proper luxury that isn't some bespoke thing a friend made. I know where that came from you know? It's difficult right now with everything coming to the surface on how the goods are made. I'm really into independent designers and have been trying to buy more locally. And frankly? As a person who has every slice of marginalization there is, if a brand doesn't want me as a customer (which most have shown) so be it. Bye. lol
I still like Off White, Marine Serre, McQueen, but they do more whimsical things which is more to my taste in the first place. I'd just also rather spend funds on someone I know I can trust to be honest with me about the provenance of their materials and construction, even if it's a bit distasteful.
Sophie, are you into astrology? Idk it’s just that in this Pluto in Aquarius, a lot of these evil practices by corporations and celebrities are coming to light and that’s what the astrologers are saying amongst other things which I find interesting. I also miss your ghost stories and the power of manifestations 🤭 xx
Camille had no issues to parade Dior bag, on her recent public appearance 😊
I really want to see a review of this Cartier bag. 🤗 Maybe it also a good bag as a Hermes Constance .
I will continue to carry my Dior bags. I already paid for them. Dior already has my money. At this point, the only one I will be hurting by not carrying those bags is myself.
I will definitely not buy from Dior anymore.
not buying any more new handbags for now after heavily buying LV Chanel bags the last 15 yrs 😊 Keeping my money in the banks for now to earn interest 🥂
I’m listening to a great book for a second time called “ Deluxe- how luxury lost its luster” by Dana Thomas. So interesting and eye opening.
As always your videos are interesting. May I known from your stand point if LV vintage especially those that has been discontinued are way better than the new ones? Thank you
At the moment the only luxury brand which has certification B corp ( cares for environmental but also social impact and fair trade). That is the only luxury brand I would buy a bag from at the moment.
The vintage bag are 100% better in terms of quality of the leather and hardware. You actually feel the leather with all the chemical coating leather bags have these days.
I know this sounds a bit funny but I prefer a Celine that's been worn. I feel like their bags look cooler preloved. Maybe it's the history of iconic designers that have taken Celine to where it is today. Thoughts on loewe?
Are these issues happening if these bags are used daily? I just got the pochette metis in monogram canvas from the Kusama collection. I love the multicolored polka dots and hope they don’t melt on me, lol. But I don’t think it’ll be in my regular rotation. I also have a NoeNoe in DA but only use that a few times a year in the spring and summer so I haven’t put that much wear and tear into it. I hope I don’t see the fraying for a while. Also, I’m saving up for a *esluxy* . Has your colleague seen the same issues with that size? I don’t mind some relaxation in shape but I don’t want it to be a puddle either. Thanks for the video!
I was in Gucci today and the SA told me they can’t often tell the difference between the authentic and MOMCOCO 's bags. Surprised to hear that from an SA.
It is very dangerous nowadays to go around with expensive bags or jewellery. You are a target. In Spain is a no no....the amount of pick pockets and thieving... very sad. Better spend your money on holidays or investing on property.
The fact these bags can be faked and sold at a fraction of the price just shows how much the luxury brands are ripping people off. Yes quality and materials might not be the same but some dupes are pretty good. I’ve wasted so much money on designer bags and, as a 50 year old, could have bought another house or many *esluxy* with what I’ve spent. My advice is to only buy if you can afford it plus other important things and don’t necessarily turn your nose up at a dupe!
GUCCI has very low resale value according to resellers in Malaysia and Singapore.
You don't have to talk quite so badly about Dior and the other brands.
We customers should demand improvements.
Dior made a mistake and the Italian state also had a share in it. The price is just that, you can imagine that the material and production don't make a difference. If you don't accept that, you simply shouldn't buy it. By the way, there are also more expensive materials. The cheaper brands are also not more social towards their employees unless they have a fair trade certificate.
Dior should be fair to all workers and purchase raw materials fairly (also towards the environment and animals) and establish a very good quality store. It makes sense to put pressure on it - not on pricing.
We should be researching before we buy, you never know!
I agree with you, her judgements are pretty harsh .
When you say that Hermes bags command more than Chanel bags afterwards - what do you mean ?
I think Chanel bags are particularly boring and dull to look at. Monotonous. Ugly even, with uncomfortable chain straps. I would assume these granny bags out on the street are probably fakes. Not sure they are being targeted by thieves unless everything else about the person confirms wealth.
Hey beauty❤
Hello my lovely friend!!🥰xx
I don‘t support cancel culture so I will buy and use whatever I want.
How about hermes constance? Skip avoid or buy?
Of course, Hermes bags cost nowhere near what they are sold for to produce. If you don't accept that and don't want it, you shouldn't buy it. Anyone who buys from a high-priced designer label should not be disappointed when they find out about this.
@@IB-je9zd agree 💯
This has been going on for a long time. I remember when I graduated from high school in 77, my godparents gave me a Speedy. I always called it a doctor bag. Left school in September and all the girls were Catholic. My mom and aunt attended the school. Met girls who lived all over the place and whose dads were geologists for oil companies. They said the *esluxy* replica bags were too good and they would rather spend their money on a good replica bag.
Hi Sophie!!! 2hrs late...oh dear. I was watching the football.....oh dear again!!!! Hugs xx
Balenciaga made a huge mistake when they allowed Demna do whatever he wants. This brand is a joke since 2020. All clothes looks like trash now. Social experiment my a*s. They can only save themselves by letting him go. We’re tired.
So concerned about the Dior scandal and Balenciaga. So have you stopped wearing your Dolce stuff? Since they are literally horrible people.
Yes, we can go through most brands an find scandals. Dior, Balenciaga, Gautier, Dolce & Gabbana, Calvin Klein, Mark Jacobs and Gucci!
It's always a pro and a con with everything
I'm rocking a DH Gate Balenciaga Crush Tote and it gets so many compliments. I didn't have to pay $2400 for it either.
DONT BUY: Gucci is over, their sales dropping internationally. Gucci revenue down -21%
LOADS of cheap outlet bags, sold on the grey market/re-sake sites.
BUY: Hermes, if you can afford it. Why? Because the quality is good and it’s the brand to have.
cost of living
labour government
high taxes
country is bust
not the best time for luxury
Ya don’t get “marked” in B&M 😊
Sorry these days it all feels like a big scam. I am glad I could sell most of my bags for a reasonable price. It’s just not worth it and the fun is not there anymore
So much homelessness and food deprivation in our country. People are not interested in purchasing HIGH luxury bags.
Balenciaga. Hell no. This brand is horrible.
Sadly Balenciaga seems to be making a comeback
Of course people will buy there again, why not?
If you can't afford a designer bag and feel some type of way about expensive designer shit then DON'T FUCKING WATCH THE VIDEO. Like do ya'll even read the tittle of the videos before clicking on it? It clearly says in the tittle the video will be about designer bags. I find these types of videos very helpful even though I can't afford any of these bags yet, but I know one day I will. And I want to know which designer bag will be really worth my hard earn money and I will get the most use of. That being said, if you read this thank you for sharing this video with us ,please make more videos like this. Maybe *esluxy* next?
How about we buy bags that are worth our money and sourced without the modern slavery!!!
incredibly cynical video designed to promote the preloved sale with Luxury Promise on Friday. Extremely manipulative.
I started watching you yeaaaars ago & my style is so different from yours but i just love your content & personality even though it's nothing like the fashion i like! love you! *esluxy*
And one last thing. I get sooooo irritated when YT’ers and others say things like “don’t by a Neverfull because its so basic and everyone has one and half of them are fake “.I call bullshit. Who cares if its fake or real.Bought Gucci Marmont bag on *esluxy* , I am honestly very satisfied with this company. Maybe the best I ever bought a bag from.
"I feel like you're giving new life to a bag that had a life before you." -- this is so poetic 🥲
