Oh no don't do this. We want our understated Polene for us alone. Now more people will buy Polene and they'll raise their prices, lol.
😂
They did already 😂
@@Annyyoyoqueen 😅
Exactement ! J'aurais voulu que le secret soit bien gardé 🙂 !
Lol I gotta get me some Polene before that happens.
He's so incredibly polite, and tactful! "Engineered luxury" is such a nice way to put it 🤣😭
Oh no these new brands are not a threat to the luxury industry, HE IS.
😂 Engineered profit rate 😅
As a practitioner in the luxury industry, I really can't tell you that the luxury processing factories you usually buy are basically the same as the manufacturers of amzlv
We call it markup
#amzrepo The canvas tote actually reminds me of the Hermes Garden Party too. Thanks for making this video to suggest more budget friendly alternatives. love it!
Please do a list of affordable brands that make good bags.
I think these ARE the “affordable alternatives”… 😬
@@ThestuffthatSaralikes I meant like a top ten video with them all listed. Most of the videos are one brand at a time analysis. And he usually compare at most two similar style bags. I meant an overview after dissecting so many.
@@crystalross7943 “….Hey, not trying too start anything & too know exactly what you’re inquiring but, if that was done here & not being greedy but, then with way too many people knowing that information you’re inquiring about, is only just gonna make the prices skyrocket”!!! “….Once the product put out is sold too rapidly, causes higher demand, then in order too supply extra product too the public at better prices once was shall be no more….it’s about “SUPPLY AND DEMAND”!!! “…They see their more affordable products selling too fast & they have too supply faster, means gains for them in raising prices on the demand then we all gotta pay more”!!! “….I find it’s best too just look up on your own what your seeking and do the comparison that away, if it works for you”!!! “…You, them, she, those ones and me want better quality for less…so in the name of the game we as consumers win”!!! “…There’s nothing in the world too me than a sale or paying less outta world”!!! “…Asked by my husband, “how much damage did you do, with all those bags”, I told him, “you’re not gonna believe this baby, I still got ($300.00) left for my next shopping spree”!!! 😂🤣😂G-MOMMEE
@@samxia1867 Yes and how many bags and brands has he torn apart since then. I want an overview of what he thinks are the best as a craftsman.
@@crystalross7943 probably small business that you’ve never heard of and sell for craftsmanship and not luxury greed to just profits off of name
That’s great but Polene has up their price. Now that they are competing with luxury brands they will up their price even more. Coach did it several years ago. I have luxury from 20 years ago. Still in great condition. Nowadays I stick to the basics. I know it’s not popular but would love to see the quality on Dooney specifically Florentine, Alto and Pebble leathers. I would also be interested in Tory Burch as well.
Yes, I’d love to see a dooney Florentine or Alto video too!
Dooney's Florentine is incredible. I have bags that are 20 years old and they still look new beyond minor, unavoidable corner wear. The canvas trimmed with vachetta is pretty and durable but needs to be babied a bit to keep the vachetta looking nice. The new bags are not as heavy as they once were, but the quality is still there. I'll never understand why they fell out of fashion but they remain my favorite brand thanks to Coach being so inconsistent over the years. Don't get me wrong. Coach is very fun, but the quality is all over the place from year to year. Tory Burch... I have only one so no real opinion beyond enjoying the one bag.
@@JP-sx7fq I own several Dooneys in the Florentine leather. The Clayton is my favorite that I purchased years ago but it’s so heavy. He did a test on the Alto leather under Dooney and gave it good reviews. Still waiting for the Florentine test.
Yes please do a Tory Burch review!
Polène can never compete with established old brands. The huge fashion houses will simply buy them.
Nobody buys LV for the quality. It’s for the design and name, any high quality is a bonus.
I buy high quality fakes. Pretty much just pay the premium leather cost. My Rolex and girls bag are under 1k and look and function the exact same as the same set that cost 30k.
@f3mcell def not cap. There are a bunch of subreddits dedicated to high quality replicas that range from 400 to 3k in price
Exact!!!! Plus, they pay millions a year to advertise their products
speak for yourself. I bought my LV in the 90s and use them to this day.
Duh! 🙄
I’ve been thinking about buying a Polene bag for quite some time. You’ve convinced me to try one. Thank you!
I bought because of his first review and Polene did not disappoint!
If you like to try their bags, you should start buying now before they raise again their price. 😅 The price starting january 2024 became 1/4 higher than the last year I think.
Can we have an updated video now that Polene raised their prices (astronomically) in January 2024?
They are having real problems with their bags right now and many, many, many complaints. BEWARE!!
LVMH has a stake in polene now - could be why.
It’s not that we don’t care about status - but if you already have status (and self esteem) you don’t need a huge label to try and fake it.
If you want to sell it, it is important to have your bag status. Nobody will buy a pre loved Fake Chanel or a Kate Spade bag in full price.
Bag have status. People do not.
Thanks so much for this video; I just want a sturdy leather 👜 for everyday that is real quality🙏🏿😊
It would be nice if you could do leather bags and goods for men. I LOVE messenger bags, backpacks, briefcases, wallets, etc. and would love to see the quality in different brands
A year later Polene screwed up their brand over greed.
I would love to see a video on Aspinal of London bags. Awesome video! Thank you 🤩
Luxury brands will never be in trouble as long as people stay pretentious 😂
yeah... like the Prada nylon re-edition. it's NYLON and people go gaga for it.
@@corneliali7747Prada invented nylon for handbag use …
As long as there is pre loved market , it will never be in trouble.
I have to say though there is no consistency with Polène. I bought one that was fantastic and bought the same bag in a different color that was horrific (scratchy leather, poor finishing where the edges/trim weren’t smoothed out). Their customer service also definitely did not fall into luxury and they refused to take back the bag without me having to pay extortionate return fare for oversees shipping. I personally wouldn’t buy from them again after that awful experience and do not recommend them for that alone.
Thank you so much for this. I had something in my cart , this really put me off them.
@@kaix6023 I would say, if you’re ever in Paris, NY, or Tokyo, and you still want the bag, going into their boutiques would be the safest way to buy. I’ve been totally put off by them but they do have cute designs.
He’s biased. He did an ad for them so. Used to respect him but he’s ignoring all the complaints about their quality.
Good to know! So many influencers use this so I didn’t want one. But you’re the influencer that I needed a stamp of approval from. Thank you!
I felt the same way bc you can't trust influencers
LOVE IT! I'm a fan of leather but to think of paying so much because of a certain brand name makes me sick. Love that there's an alternative
Thank you so much for your time making this VDO. This really helps me deciding on my next one.
Can you review the quality of the polene again, given that it's become an issue right now?😅
Great undervalued & affordable brands fabricated in Spain with premium leather and materials:
1. MIUUR.
2. Surarquia (Barcelona).
3. HEDEN.
4. Paris 64.
Polene bags are really beautiful as well. Definitely getting one now!
I can see that quote in a future Wall Street Journal article. This man is going to have a real impact on this industry. Keep going! We will all benefit!
Thank you for always showing us about quality products
I appreciate your craftsmanship
Do you maybe have a list of more affordable high quality luxuries?? There’s so many reels that although I follow along I can’t track most things 😅
Yes to this!! ❤ Thank you always for your videos Tanner!
I’d love an update on this bag! Considering getting this and the big pyramid bag
ive been waiting for this polene deconstruction.. thanks❤
This is incredibly helpful information!!! I want quality over name!!! Thank you!!!
$500 and it’s not considered a luxury brand?? Good lord.
Oooh nooo, 2500 and above
I love the way that you use to expose the luxury brands we can buy a good quality product cheaper than what they offer
LET'S REMEBER: LV, Chanel, Prada, Gucci, Hermès, Celine, etc. used to once be like Polène. A new brand.
In years to come, Polène will be an established brand just like how luxury brands today became established over the years.
I'm glad I myself have Polène bags 🤍
The new model from Polene's Mokki is soo beautiful!! Design on level with high end designer brands at least on the website... can't wait to receive it....
Forgot the name of the channel but thry sell new and owned "luxury" bags. In the most recent story they calculated how much a Chanel classic flap costed in 1955) 250 pounds) and now with the fair inflation rate (2500 pounds) and how much it actually costs in a store (10 550 pounds). Insane markup! Just insane!
@tanner You should do a new Polene review.. Hearing that the quality has gone down..
I've been trying to do an updated review but haven't gotten the chance to do so. Hopefully, when my schedule clears up, we can get another one to review again!
I absutely love the expression you created " engineered luxury" never heard of this brand but seems like it is worth to take a look
Been eyeing this for 2 year already. Thanks for the review
I so agree. I would buy one of these. Thank you for helping my money go a long way.
I won’t buy a “luxury” brand bag if it was made after the mid 90’s. That seems to be when quality took a backseat to well, everything. There are a few brands I *may* purchase newer styles but I do as much “hands on research” I can (any and everything but tear it apart) and only two or three brands. And even then, some styles and lines may be a better quality than a different line within the same design house. For me bags are as much a financial investment as they are a fashion statement and I try to invest wisely.
I plan on passing my collection of bags on to my daughter and nieces so I need to know I’m spending smart $$ and not just buying “designer shite”.
I admired your dedication on explaining how these leather bags are made and there's an option to buy another great leather that is affordable yet fashionable.
Sadly unlikely. People don't buy luxury products for quality, they buy it for perceived status. Everything else is the mental justification for the purchase.
Unless you buy a vintage LV. The quality is not there anymore.
Oooh I'll have to look into this brand. What a lovely review.
Thank you so much for your honest review❤❤❤❤ you help me a lot to choose what to buy and avoid🎉 lots of support for what you do
Can you please explain more about internal structure materials?? Love your stuff!!
I appreciate the videos. I believe the luxury brand margin is more than 50%. I saw your brand and I hope to see more focus on the design as your material is already good. Thanks.
This is exactly what I am looking forward to. And also, it seems following you will keep me up to date for new upcoming luxury brands that don't cost more for status
I concur. Polene is luxury without the drama.
I'd love to see you deconstruct the Charles and Keith Gabine bag in leather.
Charles and keith is bad imo
That’s awesome to know about Polene. I hope they’ll keep the price point reasonable in the long run.
Thank goodness someone with professional knowledge is saying this 🎉
Can you please do Strathberry
Can you do one on DeMellier?
That’s what we need newer generation are smarter with their money and they care less about names and brands
Damn, I've been eyeing their bags but they hiked up their prices. Still less than other brands... might get one now before they raise the prices again!
I still ain’t paying $500 for no bag though
Thank you. That's a month rent were I come from.
500 on one item is like 2 bills @hafizzifah1737
We don't care about brands! Ingredients and materials matter. Love the message.
Polene have attractive innovative designs too. I must admit, even if I was filthy rich I wouldn't touch Hermes or Louis Vuitton; I just don't like their tired impractical designs. I would be all over pre-loved vintage Chanel though.
I’m done paying just for a label. I’ve bought 2 pair of Prada loafers and three pair of their sneakers and 4 pair of LV shoes and none are very comfortable and the Prada sneakers fall apart faster than 40.00 Puma sneakers.
Polene has been on my list for a while, let me quickly purchase before they raise the prices 😂
I love my Polene bag no.7. Beautifully made and beautiful price❤❤❤
Luxury brands going down,
new affordable high quality brands rising,
new brands taking the market lead and becoming expensive 😁
@hafizzifah1737 Hm... ny comment was ironic, hence the emoji. But since you call me ignorant without any substantial information, I recommend you to google about brand equity cycle and educate yourself about my comment, before insulting. Insults are arguments of the ignorant.
I have so many bags from them but pls I still wanna continue gatekeeping them 😭😭
I agree to 100 % to you Tanner L., thank you always for your informative Videos - you are the honest and the Best 🤗❣️✌🏼
I've seen a lot of people show Polene bags that end up with flaws and some were even shipped unfinished. I want to buy Polene but not for the flaws I keep seeing.
Ah, I was wondering this as well. I can't tell if this is real or if Polene has just had brilliant marketing strategy
I work right around the corner from their shop in Paris and I can tell you that they have a LONG line out front every single day. They must be doing something right.
Can you do delvaux since they are the og of all the handbags
I'm so glad they ranked well. Love Polene.
love what you are doing. keep up the great work.
thank you
also, the big names' quality has been on a decline for years.
Amazing. Just bought a Polene.
Could you rate Songmont leathers? 😊
Never heard of them, thanks! I’m definitely going to check them out
Can you do Dooney and Burke bags, especially the Ostrich Satchel?
Could you do Dooney and Bourke Florentine Leather Bag?
That would be interesting. I have some D&B bags from the 80s and each one has incredible quality in design, materials and craftsmanship. I’m so glad I kept them!
When Polene increased their prices they also dropped the quality. Not cool.
Quality isn’t as good anymore for polene - possibly coincides with the fact that lvmh now has stake in the brand?
Can you do Bukvy? She only has a couple of styles. And while I like the look, the leather, functionality of her bags I feel could be better. I can’t explain it, maybe the weight but could be a good thing for many. And it was just around $500 price point so I feel worth it.
The funny thing is... Polene bags are even pricier than, say, Coach bags here in Indonesia, I don't know why. But it's good to know which one is more worth it to buy. Thank you for what you do!
Thats good to know you suggest brands thats have quality but without the stupid markup
I love Polene. Great bags with beautiful styles and the colors are amazing.
First, I wanna thank you for debunking the price tag of luxury brands! Additionally, I want to thank you for bringing out beautiful, well made, rightly priced brands that we are not aware of. Now we can shop good leather without feeling guilty of spending too much money and support the people who deserve it. I checked out your bags as well, and they are phenomenal! I have already started to save up.
What are some other brands like Polene?
I wish I liked their designs, because they are made beautifully
Luxury brands will never be in trouble, as long as people view them as a status symbol.
I bought a Polene because of you! I know it's hard to find something unisex but ended up with the NUMERO DIX. Contemplating on getting a Tonca. LOL. Also got a La Portegna because of you!
I’m so happy that I came across his videos and I’m so happy that I don’t spend more and I get leather real bags and I usually please thrift them at the thrift store. I get a lot of fossil, but I have found some really good leather items and other companies I usually go for Italian because Italian makes a really good letter cause cause I have a lot. I used to buy a lot of Italian boots and I still have a lot of my boots from Italy And for some reason I just love the class, but I honestly have never spent no more or no West on any bag and my my maximum whether a bag or a shoe or a purse whatever you wanna call it is $300 whether it’s new or it’s vintage so and I do my research on the brand before I know especially if it’s used before I buy it so but I’m happy that he’s exposing all of these other brands for what they are in the quality and what the actual cost of it and what you know what is a fair price of pay what’s not a fair price to pay so if you’re gonna buy these high and luxury brands, try to get it on sale if you can basically that’s what he saying
Please do ‘Aspinal of London’. Thank you in advance.
You should do a Velez bag from Colombia. It’s a great brand
Thank you so Muchhh for the info and open our 👀 Sr.!!! 🙏🏼
Polene, Advene, M0851, beautiful quality and value.
Which Polene bag model did you take apart in this video?
A beautiful bag, is just that, a beautiful bag. No matter the brand.
thank you for your opinion! im set to buying from Polene
Is there a deconstruction video for a Longchamp Le Foulonne leather bag?
Love Polene. I have 3 bags from them and love them all and wear them all the time ❤
Polene is already in my wishlist. Hope the price doesnt skyrocket the moment my money enough to buy one 😂
Same here 😂
So true I just want to touch luxury not daydream about a logo😊
Nice. Can you briefly explain what differentiates the luxury items from the non-luxury items, from a design and quality perspective?
I have a Polene and I plan on buying another this year. Beautiful bag
Please test Hidesign bags
Curious ! Where do you get these bags from ?!
I love Jacquemus bags (especially in classic designs like the bambino). I think the construction is really good, they're affordable luxury and the leather feels high quality. I'd love to see a deconstruction of one of the Jacquemus bags
