    Polène’s recent price increases were expected after the LVMH deal, but they have significantly diminished the brand’s appeal. While their initial price-to-quality ratio was a major draw, this is no longer the case.
    At their new price point, Polène competes with established luxury brands that offer historical prestige, better resale value, and competitive sale opportunities. As a newer brand, Polène has yet to prove itself in the high-end market through innovation, quality, and consistency. It feels premature for them to position themselves at this level without earning the trust and loyalty of their clients.

      Very well put, and I completely agree with you! Their price-to-quality ratio certainly drew a lot of customers in and although these price increase were predicted the brands image is definitely changing. I believe that the brand is too young and as you mentioned hasn’t had time to prove its lasting worth, in fact a lot of people have complained and said the opposite that as they become more popular the quality and customer service is getting worse. It will be very interesting to see how these decisions affect the brand going forward and whether or not customers stay loyal to such a new and developing brand. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

      Polene is not considered a Luxury brand, and LVMH shouldn’t have done what they did!

    The audacity of Polene increasing their prices again when the quality and customer service has nosedived is wild. I know it seems like bashing Polene is a trend these days, but the problems are real. I bought a bag from their store and immediately had to take it back due to quality issues. They brought out 3 different bags for me to exchange it with and they each had problems too. Such a shame

    • @AlanaMarieFashion

      I agree with you, Polene seems to be making very brave and bold business moves when their product seems to be declining as well as customer service. It does seem that there has been a trend lately with pointing out the downfalls of Polene but unfortunately I think that the brand had the power mitigate some of the negativity. A lot of people are speaking on their personal experiences that were not positive when shopping online and in store. I am so disappointed to hear that when you went to exchange your bag in store you were only offered more defective product. I am not completely against the brand but I do know that if I was to purchase a piece I would likely only be swayed by seeing a bag in store to know that the quality is to my liking. Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us!

      hahaha That was the exact word i was thinking “audacity”…and to see it first on the comment section just confirmation.
      I honestly believe they’re no longer worth the price they mark their bags for.

    LVMH is the kiss of death for luxury anything I’m so glad I bought my bags in the beginning,I have the Dix and Neuf beautiful bags . You can expect the price to go up and the quality to go down because all LVMH care about is making a profit 😢

    I have two Polene bags - Huit and Dix. They're both beautiful and amazing quality, I've had no issues! I love using both and reach out for them more than I do for my Chanel and Dior bags. The quality and packaging are at par with luxury brands. Plus, they have a modern, under-the-radar vibe which I prefer to heritage brands that are all too common now.

    I tapped put on Polene a long time ago. Although I love the designs, in the early stages it felt like every other influencers was getting one of these bags for free which made it that I didn't want to pay for one. 🤣 Then prices went up and quality went down and I completely lost interest. There's also so many fakes out there, I worry about resale value. 😳 They should have stayed an affordable, high quality influencer brand imho, but seems they got greedy.

    • @AlanaMarieFashion
      @AlanaMarieFashion  2 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      You’re right Lo, I totally forgot that in their early days they used to gift their bags to influencers! Maybe I subconsciously remembered that too and that is another reason I’ve been hesitant to buy 😂 I was willing to pay maximum what their current prices are but I know after this increase I’ll be done. I agree with you I think they got greedy and maybe even a little cocky too. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

    I have purchased a few Polene bags (on my channel as well - shameless plug 😅) this year in anticipation for this price increase. I figured once the whole deal with LVMH took place that this was a very likely outcome unfortunately. I didn’t like it last year and I most certainly don’t think it’s warranted this year. So I’m glad that I got what I wanted from the brand and will likely be taking a long pause. I think some of these fashion houses are out of touch with the economy.

    LVMH will bring these bags way up in prices. They’re not as popular as they were a few years ago so I think this is a mistake. So sad cause I really love my bags but I don’t think I’ll purchase as higher prices

    • @AlanaMarieFashion
      @AlanaMarieFashion  วันที่ผ่านมา

      I think a lot of consumers have similar feelings. I haven't purchased from the brand yet, but I know I am not willing to pay $100's of dollars over the current asking price. I'm glad that you were able to pick up some of their handbags before these price increases!

    Oh Alana!! I was hoping you were coming to New York this year so we can visit their store together, for I definitely have my doubts and I’m mainly interested in one bag and maybe an slg. I agree with all the comments made. I tapped out as well and I think LVMH investing was kind of the cherry on top. They had the potential to be very great if they took their time and grew slowly. Perhaps they lowballed themselves from the beginning to attract customers and now they have realized they need to ask their customers for more money ( an embarrassing Michael Scott moment 😅). But if that is so, they were doomed from the beginning.

    • @AlanaMarieFashion
      @AlanaMarieFashion  2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hey Deandra! You are right, we were supposed to check out the Polene store together, I’m so sad I didn’t get to make it out to New York last summer! You brought up quite an interesting point though, if they are genuinely increasing the price strictly because they were lowballing the customers from the start that is a whole other can of worms lol I think that if Polene took their time to establish their brand and customer satisfaction they would not have as many complaints as we’re seeing today. Thanks for sharing your thoughts 😁

      @LaWordWarrior 2 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      @ You’re not alone. 😂 But I do think even at these current prices, they’re not as worth it as they used to be.
      For instance, let’s say their Neuf full-size bag, which is now $610, jumps up to $800 USD (it’ll probably be more than that). Well, I just scored a Givenchy small/medium bag for around $860 (original price was over $2200). That’s with taxes and Rakuten cash-back discount included. Point is, I’d much rather get a Givenchy for around the same price as a Polène. I mean, it’s a no-brainer for me. 🤓

    • @AlanaMarieFashion
      @AlanaMarieFashion  2 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      Yes that’s exactly it! For $800 USD I could buy a handbag from another brand that I love like Jacquemus, YSL, or Givenchy like you said. I’d more than likely look at several other brands to spend that kind of money before looking to Polene.

      Hi Aik, thanks for sharing your thoughts on this topic. You’re totally right, the price increases are never ending so I do feel like we as consumers have to be much more selective in which brands we give out money too. I think for the threshold that Polene is reaching I would rather put up a little extra money and go for a luxury brand with more heritage. Next year I think I will only be grabbing one or two bags as well, thanks so much for watching 🤗

      I think you both make some good points! I have read that LVMH was looking to diversify their portfolio towards other brands that fit that “lower luxury” category as people are slowing down spending with a lot of the top luxury brands at the moment. Who knows if that is actually true but it is an interesting business move on their part.
