Stick around until the end because this video isn't just about analysis — it ends with a big surprise! We're giving away the YSL Loulou bag to one lucky viewer. Simply comment below to enter the raffle, and you might just be the next owner of this intriguing piece.

Thank you to everyone who participated! The giveaway ended on April 26, 2024, at 2PM CST, and a winner has already been chosen. I appreciate all your support!

[YourRichLifeMedia]

I do think it is important for people to realize that there is a big difference between a luxury brand and a luxury product. A lot of luxury brands have products that aren't worth 1/4 of what they charge. Thank you for the work you do.

"The moment you accept where you are and what you have... then entirely you become satisfied... and it doesn't matter what you don't have so it becomes a positive experience". I re-played this part like 10 times. This is honestly resonating for me about life in general but most relevant to luxury bags, you saved me from wasting a lot of money as I was about to buy this exact bag for my birthday. Now I'm thinking about putting the money towards a vintage bag that's hand-made, not mass produced, and higher quality / more unique. Thank you!

[julinegrant]

I agree with you in describing the false feel of accomplishment when getting a luxury item. Once you purchase it and have it, you’re on to the next item so that fulfillment is short lived. I love your videos and am glad that you show us what the true meaning of luxury should be.

[skihillsandy]

There's nothing more enlightening than to learn that price doesn't equal quality. We always hear "you get what you pay for" but when it comes to luxury, it's not always the case. The only way to learn is to shop and compare. Don't fall into the trap. Thank you do much for making these videos.🙏🏽

[victoriab]

Makes a lot of sense when you look at it this way. If it didn’t have the logo, most people wouldn’t pay $700-$800 for this bag. Thanks for doing this!

[maryrhonagarcia]

I am a newbie in the world of luxury bag, and I’ve been eyeing a YSL bag as my first luxury investment. However, watching your video made me realize to look beyond the logo and see the real value of the bag. It’s an unbiased review, no sugar coating and not a marketing hype. Instead of paying hefty price for a brand, pay it instead for the craftsmanship and real luxury quality. Now I’ll dig deeper and watch your other videos to help me be a smarter consumer and purchase a bag worthy of my money.

[lucentSwallowtail]

I love how this video doesn’t shame the consumers and just gives them an informed look on what’s behind the glamour. If people want to buy a branded good just for the brand, more power to them. And if people want to buy well crafted good at fair prices, they now have the knowledge to do so!

[JennyLouRN]

I like the idea of stitching the bag back together and giving it away MUCH better than destroying it. It’s not wasteful and can be useful to somebody, as well as draw more comments and subscribers.

[deeptigonsalves]

I totally agree with you that if the YSL logo was removed, it does not deserve the steep price tag. I always appreciate your brutally honest reviews. Thank you for being genuine and not giving false applause.

[flexiblelanguage]

It's amazing how much a logo can shift consumerism. Appreciate that you discuss these bags in a way that creates introspection for the listener.

[anastasiasurja]

It is a nice reminder that luxury doesn't always mean top notch quality. I love how you always explain everything objectively and completely.

[phackdaphish]

I want to say that although the bag is not worth $2900 it is beautiful. The look, texture, quilt lines, and hardware together make the bag look contemporary and chic. Even if one took the YSL logo out, it looks beautiful. If you are considering this bag, please buy it because you love it and see yourself with it 10+ years.

[akvilemateviciene]

It is nice to find someone how actualy knows what a "good" bag means and not just and explains it to others

[mellel]

Mr. Leatherstein, you have just increased the value of that Loulou by adding your own final touch when re-sewing the bag! Your commentary is always appreciated! Much respect from Canada! ✌🏾

[bhasselb]

I love this guy. I never really questioned the quality of “luxury” bags because I always just assumed they would be great quality because of the price. It’s refreshing to see someone give an unbiased and insightful opinion on them.

[jingjingce]

Yes, I agree most people wouldn’t pay 7-800 dollars for the same bag without the tag. Really appreciate how your video educate consumer on good quality leather goods!

[marieadriatico]

It pains me whenever you dissect a beautiful purse but your honest insight makes me look beyond the luxury logos. Thank you!

[kirstenquitayen]

I first noticed you on TikTok & you are the reason why I stopped being overly obsessed with luxury brand goods. I now look at the overall materials & quality of each item regardless of the brand! Thanks for doing what you do!

[naturalcaramelbeauty]

Your videos have increased my knowledge surrounding shopping for goods. You appear to be unbiased and true to your craftsmanship. Love your work.
