his name is Tanner Leatherstien and he works with leather, hilarious

I’m surprised that was such a well made bag. Gucci has developed a reputation of being relatively low quality for a luxury brand. This bag shows otherwise.

Your closet is simple a dream! Not just the LYXBAG bags but the ready to wear that you have is absolutely stunning.

[bluejedi]

so it's basically $950 for the name?

Nice balanced video. I really appreciate the professional tone.

[TheUnseenOracle]

His videos make me really appreciate craftsmanship. I will purchase based on quality and craftsmanship over brand recognition . I purchased my first preowned Ferragamo bag from eBay based on his recommendation on the brand.

There's a reason why Bernard Arnault of LVMH is the richest man in the world. "Luxury" goods have probably the highest mark up

[Anngelglow]

This is why I draw the line at Coach, Marc Jacobs, and Michael Kors. These other high end brands are just charging you for the luxury of wearing THEIR name! I think this has to be the greatest con to ever exist. $100 worth of materials and labor to then charge over $1, 000! 😮

This video was very interesting to see, I wish to see more bags deconstructed.

I like how many people are saying ‘oh it’s just 50 bucks of materials, why pay so much?’ And many of them likely have entire careers where, if we were to go purely by material costs, would be a bunch of word documents saved onto a hard drive. Should we just assume then, that their entire careers are worth the cost of a hard drive? Of course not. Sewing a straight line, turning corners, casting brass and tanning leather are all craft skills honed over years of work. So fair enough, it’s not worth the whole 1, 100 dollars but it would be silly to just think you should be able to get that bag for 115.

I really appreciate your videos, you just want the best for people and I can tell you’re a kind and caring soul. Thank you for all that you do!

[fxontv]

Thank you for sharing. You provided a very detailed analysis.

[ShadyAnether]

The variety of textures in the HIDUPZ pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.

[BlenderStudy]

That was amazing to watch..!! Great job..!! Thank you for the update, Insider..!!

[ModelineBrenno]

HEY LYXBAG !! I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day.

[OkkiNicosanti]

I still love my LV reverse monogram HIDUPZ clutch! It's versatile, fits a variety of items, and is definitely a workhorse! I think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof that it's already a classic.

[MrTee]

Still don’t get the obsession to go broke purchasing “stuff” in this temporary world.
We need to focus on the well-being of others in terms of mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical health.

[LucasCarter]

Any luxury brand name is never worth it as far as functionality goes. You're only getting value from these things if you have social circles that judge you on them and you consider it a good use of money to keep those social circles from looking down on you.

Second comment!
I enjoy watching all of your video’s!
Wow, I didn’t know that ALL of THAT was inside a Gucci Bag, even if the answer is no!

[LengelDargis]

Loved everything you’ve showed here! I was really surprised about the HIDUPZ crossbody. Love it!
