Learn the BIG secret of big luxury leather brands to save BIG on leather shopping!

Are you one of those people who love to buy leather goods from luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton? We're sorry to tell you but you're wasting a large amount of money on their mediocre leather goods. Yes, you read that right. They're fooling you to think that what they offer is high-quality leather goods when in reality, they're standardizing leather and stripping off the authenticness of leather which makes their products mediocre.

Believe me when I say that the products offered by small craftsmen actually have better quality than those offered by luxury brands. In this video, I'll show you how large luxury brands scammed you. I'll be comparing small craftsmen's leather goods with luxury brands' leather goods in terms of price and quality of leather used. Hopefully, this helps you to save money by buying the best quality leather goods available in the market.

I lived in China for 5 years and at one point I decided to get a fake bag. It's wasn't like one of the really expensive brands, but one of the more affordable ones. I had the original and wanted to have a fake. 3 years down the road, the fake bag was drowned by a wave 2 times, had some black ink spill all over the lining, spilled juice inside, carried eggs and fruits (I didn't want to carry extra bag), overpacked it on each and every trip, etc. After all that mess, it looked the same as on the day I bought it. After the waves, I just cleaned it with a cloth, for the ink, I used liquid for the floors, the stain vanished in 10 minutes, dried fast, no damage to the lining nor did it show on the outside (it was a light color). Perfect bag. After 3 years of tough usage, the metal parts looked brand new. Not a single spot of rust or even wear and tear. However, the original one was used sparingly, never went through any of the aforementioned tortures and still the metal parts started rusting, the stitching came undone, the leather started cracking. For the record, the original was bought in the US. I don't even consider buying any original bags any more. Ever.

Totally agreed with you. If anyone is pursuing status and admiration from others, then choose those big brands, which will make you FEEL good. If you're a real leather lover, it's a totally different thing. I'll definitely buy real good stuff from the stores you suggested!

The transparency and realness of your discussions about your business and price points is absolutely admirable and respectable and not at all common of most businesses either. Talking about your materials and products you use shows your passion for what you do also.
Your statements (in other words of course) about what you do and why and how, are important and also respectable bc it tells people that you are not trying to milk them for every dollar you can possibly squeeze out of them so you can live 136 bedroom mansions and drive 14 different lambos from your profits. Instead you are simply doing something you love and have a lot of knowledge of, to provide high quality, authentic and skillfully made products to customers, in exchange for a well earned and comfortable living for yourself and your family, and pay your team enough to do the same for their families as well.

This is exactly how every business should be ran. Good for you.

I have stopped buying big brands luxury goods. The hassle dealing with them when item is defective was a headache. I rather support small business and like you said a good quality leather.

Answering a watcher’s comment who said: “a lot of thought is going into the design of luxury brands”. My answer is: “for the most part Medium Lux brands have crucial missing functionality features, that we as customers would want to have. They make a product that isn’t fully satisfying for its category and this way they motivate you to buy more, keeping you with the hope that the next product they come up with will be better. Most of Luxury bag designs have already been done in the past. Most of the time Medium and Luxury brands copy from each other by making little tweaks here and there presenting it as their great “new design”.

[reynaissance]

I strongly agreed that the best experience are provided by those small businesses. The dedication is there which make the piece more special and an art.

[myranasim]

Customer suggestion: please make crossbody wallets as well. Wallets with a leather strap. They are very practical for daily use.

[rachelkoiks]

The way that nice leather feels and smells is so satisfying. And what I’ve always tried to tell my mom and my friends is that leather doesn’t fall apart like pu leather. Depending on the quality, it either will hold up as is for *years* or actually *gets better* through the years. But I think that’s more for hardcore leather lovers like myself. But I’m trying to get them to embrace this amazing material.

Gah I have something ordered and I can’t wait to smell it when it arrives. I also can’t wait to see one of its final forms in a decades time.

In one video can you recommend all the small brand companies that you recommend? I love your information and I agree that luxury brands are for people who care about status

[rhondaweber]

I hope you become a huge success! Thanks for spelling it out for us.

[my.last.reincarnation]

I really appreciate your authenticity and honest input.

[fernandoorihuela]

I’m an artisan
And use leathers from Hermes which is about +$20 sq ft
Please also clarify leather prices can vary as I see you always come across very cheap leather

[hello.somebody]

Most branded stuff spent alot on marketing and renting shop on expensive place/mall. But they put less effort on their products quality

[wuddadid]

I sincerely love this channel and the passion and honesty that this man shows

[dinashems]

Thank you Tanner for inspiring and sharing your knowledge with us!

I bought my now defunct MBMJ crossbody calf leather. And 15 years later, it’s still soft, supple, sure aged, but still looks good. Sure I only paid $600 for it, but to me, worth every cent.

[Xyltharra]

This is one of the reason why I don't buy those expensive bags.. and after watching your videos I have made the right decision not to buy them.. thank you for sharing these videos❤️❤️

[hannaboba]

The problem with small leather houses is the designs they produce aren’t as nice.. I’ve tried to make the switch but the designs never appeal to me.
