I Tested Luxury $1200 Colored Pencils (& they're absolute TRASH!!)

I bought Louis Vuitton's new colored pencils for crazy price of $1200. This brand is focused on everything high end and luxury.. but the quality is worse than the dollar store...

If you wanna see the pencils work with water- check out the gucci video! 😝 Since unfortunately they’re the same exact pencil you can see a more formula based video there! I figured instead of going over the same things for the third time, I’d focus more on why they’re not worth the money instead of the formula. But I shoulda tested them with water, my bad!

The packaging is really nice. It's so sad they fill it with cheap supplies! They should have done a collab with caran d'arches to make it the ultimate luxurious color pencil pack. It would have been consistant at least. Probably crazy and unnecessarily expensive, but the lack of consistency drives me crazy! How it is logical to make a super expensive pouch and fill it with junk?

[stephanie.kilgast]

Well. It's Louis Vuitton (same for Gucci). Their whole brand exists because people want to show off their logo. You don' buy it for the quality, you buy it for flexing ^^'
But thank you for throwing away money on that crap for our entertainment. I will light a little candle for your wallet tonight!

[Oonagh]

Not gonna lie. That pouch is cool. However, if they could partner with another luxury brand they should have partnered with a high end art supplier. They also should have made them triangle barrel (my personal preference). It would mimic the V in the LV.

It’s just so crazy $1200 for crap pencils just because they slapped Louis Vuitton on them! 😳🤦🏻‍♀️ you could get a lot of Caran d’ache colored pencils for that price!

[Webdesinger]

I’m loving the camera angles and editing! I appreciate that you made sure the shades and textures were clearly captured. You can really tell how much work was placed into production, and I’m here for it!

[elizabethcalli]

it seems like they just didnt think they'd get away with selling a thousand dollar case without putting something in it

[Mustlovebooks]

If I spent $1, 220 on colored pencils I’d expect that shit to come wrapped in gold bubble wrap. Those poor pencils were probably all shook up in that packaging. Good way to break them.

I mean I feel like it's kind of a misinterpretation to call it "packaging" because the pouch is actually the product and the pencils seem like place-holders to me. That said, a thousand bucks is still wildly overpriced for a pencil pouch (I think the design is pretty ugly as well) and if they're already going for luxury they could have included pencils that don't suck. But these products aren't necessarily for artists, they're for rich people who need to affirm their sense of importance via designer products because they don't know what else to do with their money so it makes sense for the pencils to be this quality 🤷‍♀️

[Miciggy]

It goes to show that when you buy an expensive product, it's not always higher quality. Sometimes something is expensive because it has a well-known brand logo on it.

I’ve been watching ever since the Louis Vuitton vs crayons video! As a fellow artist ( not nearly as gud as u obv) I find ur videos super entertaining AND informative love you Rae❤️✨

[marian_hayes]

I actually love watercolor pencils. Coloring with them is particularly relaxing cuz I like to get the colors down and then see them melt together when I apply the water

[curiouskatsayshello]

I was thinking the $1200 price tag is solely for the purse/packaging and not the “place holder” pencils since other bags of that size/ speciality (w/o pencils) are the same price.

[MusingsFromTheDen]

What annoys me most is that it was so easy to get this right if they'd just collaborated with a well respected brand like Faber-Castell. 🤦

I hate seeing people get conned, even if they do have more money than sense.

[octriix]

This just proves how dedicated you are to this channel. You spend money in hopes to entertain and you have inspired me to start making my own art. Ilysm rae ❤

[ms.annthropic]

I mention this whenever I watch a video that talks about the lead breaking in coloured pencils - if you microwave your coloured pencils for a few seconds it will melt the broken lead back together! 😁
I accidentally trashed an entire set of prismacolours after keeping them in a wooden pencil case and them getting knocked around in my bag all day (I was devastated 😭) but then I learned this trick and managed to revive the entire set!
Generally I’ll do 5-10 seconds, roll them around a bit, then do another 5-10 seconds.
Just FYI, if you microwave them for too long the paint on the outside will start to bubble up and get crispy, but even if that happens it’s better than not being able to use the pencil at all.

[mee-hee-hee]

Hey rae I just wanna say how much I love you and how your videos brighten up my day, tysm for making me feel better, sending lots of love and a hug🥺❤️

[sweetdreamweaverart]

Wow. Just wow. To me, the fact they have such low end pencils in a high end brand bag, makes me feel they have soiled and demeaned the value of such items.

As a high end brand they should be ashamed of themselves.

As an art lover and amateur artist, for that price I would expect high end color pencils in the bags.

[shreyapuntambekar]

OMG Rae you don't know that how much i wait for your video keep shining and creating your amazing art piece love from India

[GorilieVR]

Great work exposing this!! Most people seem to not realize the vastly common practice of drop shipping low cost products/rebranding from Alibaba and others
