I love the fact that the packaging is more expensive than the belt itself.

[brunonjezic]

The balls on this guy! Going to the location like this with camera calming them down and haggling price down and than posting the whole thing in well viewed video! Excellent

[justrandomotaku]

Wonderful video as always. Youre venturing into investigstive journalism with your recent videos and I LOVE IT. keep it up dude!

[SkitHertz]

Seems like getting "authentic" super fakes is as troublesome as getting an Hermes bag 😅

[stephyz]

So for $100 on a counterfeit, most likely they rip you off as you’re a tourist. Perhaps it’s better to have a local who speak their language could help bargain. Also this video is extremely informative! Thank you!

[NottheotherAmber]

Awesome work. Looking forward to the dissection of the faux Chanel Classic Flap and real Hermes belt.

[yooein]

YES
As someone who has been to Guangzhou and Shenzhen as a tourist, I've been waiting for videos like this forever. Fun to know you've lived there for a bit.

[catlawrence]

Omg this makes me need an entire playlist of dissections of real vs dhg8 dupes 😍😍 pretty please 🙏

[khushitomar]

We would love to see more of these belt deconstructions, brands like polene and Ralph Lauren have belts under 100$, it would be interesting to see if the quality is as good as their bags.

[addiferr]

I love your videos! All your videos are eye opener and give you good insights for personal decision making when it comes to luxury items! I wish a lot of people will see more of your videos.

[dimdull]

My heart skipped many beats when you scraped the real Hermes belt’s glazing. It hurts though it’s not my belt. While I am super curious about the truth, I am at the same time feeling it’s a waste of good leather belt. Thank you for making such a sacrifice.

[becatv]

You are so close to becoming a luxury expert.... loved the part when the buckle compared to a jewellery piece...

[SuperKubunio]

Usually you should negotiate untill you get around 70% off the first asking price. I did it in Guangzhou (watches) and Szanghai (glasses).

[uv]

Love how many details you included in this video!

[jaks_bag_attack]

I can't wait to see what other things you found in your travels! Awesome video

[summerofsais]

My Hermes belt fell apart within a year. Luxury is a sham.

[VictoriaAlexeeva]

Fantastic video! Thank you so much for your work and expertise! Can’t wait to see a review in that Channel flap that you got

[YuZhao-hgff]

The top tier super fake Chanel double flap bag should be around $600 which they claim the leather is from the same factory where Chanel purchases their leather from. I’m very curious to see you doing one of these if possible - based on my observation the main differences are stitches and hardware/engraving. Not sure about what happens deep down the leather

[KSlivinghappy]

Thank you for your investigations. We appreciate the focus on value for leather goods and not on company/designer fanfare.

[looppp]

Wow, leather shops in China.. Now THIS is interesting!

FYI, there are Hermes superfakes from China where they say they have the original artisans and materials working after they left Hermes. I wonder if you could find one of those and compare.
