Wow only 1000 to make a birkin we are all crazy 🙈🙈

The Savette Symmetry has been on and off of my wish list for a while now, and I just saw that the price went up.... by 200 USD (not sure about AUD)!! So I removed it from my list once again... as much as I like the bag, it feels like it's getting too pricey for what it is.

Thanks for giving us this interesting video, Jess, while you're sick! I could really relate when you signed off the video with "sorry about my face"... we ladies are always apologizing for something pertaining to our faces 😂🫠 Take some time to get well again! 💕

The average American doesn't have $1k to cover emergency expenses, so how could they uphold a multi billion dollar industry

Jess hope you feel better soon, I purchased Bolide from Hermes searched for a vintage Bolide found 27" Bolide made by Lederer De Paris exact bag so did Hermes produce the zip bolide first or Lederer in my opinion all designer house use each other design pattern. There's enough money in the pot for everyone if it Luxury brand, fakes, or dupes, it should matter live your life.

You go first, Jess! The rest of us will follow!

No designer purse has ever been worth the thousands they cost. And most of us knew that already. That's why so many viewers, tune into the luxury CC's and watch you all spend your money on it, in amazement. LOL!!

Well luxury bags apparently cost less than €100 to produce and sell for thousands so dupe away 😂 Hope you’re feeling better 🤒

It is so ridiculous 😂 i just feel like lately my perspective has changed. Even though i have the funds, I don’t think they are worthy!!! I am 100% willing to buy a super fake if i find a good one 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤫

I think H Q D U P S bags and shoes should be the best replicas in the world

the mamacoo would be super cute during the fall with a nude or tan or even tonal outfit! i’m thinking a tan wool coat with that bag!!

GWS~

I am now more towards Coach and FURLA brand. 😄

Get well soon Jessie 🤧🤒

Great video. Interesting hearing your take on the comments. Its such an interesting subject at the moment. Get well soon ❤

No one forces any one to buy luxury bags, let it go people and move on. Luxury has always been for the rich people who don’t care about money, those who cares about money should not waste it on a bag.

Get well soon Jess!

i'm ok with dupes. in fact, i have an hermes kelly pochette dupe since i couldn't afford an Hermes one. i have other priorities to pay other than designer bags. i have LV, Chanel, Gucci, YSL real bags btw!

Totally done personnally

You have ex Hermes artisans making bags. I would go for the more reasonable yet not cheap version.

I think brands copying each others is fine, because at least they don't try to con someone. Like zara making a chanel-like bag but put zara brand or no brand on it, yaaas buy it. You got the style without the heavy tag. What I don't like is the feeling of lying to myself or another person to think that a bag is a specific brand while it's not, like a replica bag complete with chanel logo and dust bag etc, it feels icky. I don't even care about how chanel is not respectable etc I just don't like using something that feels to much like conning, lol. I prefer to buy a coach dupes than a replica.

It is like comparison Hermès to Chanel. It is saying I am better than you!

Aw, Jess! I hope you feel better soon! ❤

Feel better soon 💕

You are right that many of the general public don't know that they are carrying dupes of designer high end bags..and they don't care. Many years ago my sister who made many business trips to China, gave me a bag. I ended up hating that bag. It was clumsy, difficult to get into and I just found it totally impractical. I hated it and ended up donating it to a local op shop. Years later I realised that it was a super fake of a Birkin 30.

Get better soon, Jess! I love dupes😅 I love luxury of course but similar to some of your other viewers, don’t put these fashion houses on a pedestal as much anymore. I have more respect for my own time and money and I pay for what I fancy.😊

A lot of the women in the video whose comments the host read have serious inferiority complexes ie "I would never use or wear a dupe." PULEEEEEZE no one cares, sweetie. If you like a dupe, use it. It's not like "luxury" is worth the money anymore

Chanel is not QUALITY. Not since about 2010. Vintage Chanel is incredible. All designer is fast fashion these days, sadly

You did great, feel better! And soooo many people spend their time judging others and carrying water for designer brands that don't care a thing about folks. None of them are an arbiter of taste. What they are are snobs who need to spend money on expensive things to have a sense of worth, and that makes them the sad, tacky ones.

For too long many of us have bent over backward to make sense of what these brands have been doing. Mostly sighting quality, design, etc. They have fully taken advantage of their consumers because of it. Now that the curtain has been pulled back, there is no way to continue to defend them

Sounds like people are finally waking up to realize that they are getting fleeced by luxury brands. Preying on the insecurity of those foolish enough to think that spending insane amounts of money on items of artificial scarcity and value increases their social status in life. News flash it doesn’t. What it really shows is the pure ignorance in understanding what wealth really is. Most people who chase these items are literally stuck in the trap 🪤 where the addiction to seeking public validation has you endlessly breaking yourself to make purchase after purchase. These brands care nothing about you, seeing you as the peasant who will do anything for clout. So much so that you made the CEO of LVMH one of the richest people on earth. They spend pennies on every dollar you give them gladly. For what? Do you have 7 figures in investment accounts. Are you renting an apartment? How many cars do you actually own. If you lost your job how long can you survive without working? When I see people wearing luxury goods in almost all cases I think they’re broke.

Feel better Jessie ❤

I’m happy to support an American contemporary company like Coach, because their prices are fair and their bags are made of the same materials in the same countries as the luxury brands. And often the bags are better quality leather!

Great topic Jessie! I hope you feel better ❤️‍🩹

I have that same hoodie!

I don’t have a problem with dupes, I do have a big problem with replicas or fakes. As many others mentioned the big design houses copy each other all the time. They make suttle changes and put their branding on them. I don’t have any dupes currently but I’m not above buying one if I found a style I liked. I bought the tear drop earrings from Amazon and found out later they were a dupe for the botegga. I’m not in to high end costume jewelry so I was totally oblivious. I wear them a lot and not one person has asked if they were botegga or dupes. Feel better Jess.

Get well soon Jess!

I love seeing everyone’s perspectives, interesting how there’s a general dwindling of respect for the big luxury brands.

More than this, the Dior scandal ruined the feeling of luxury for me.

I just picked up the coach tabby backpacks in black and pink. It’s super pretty and cute and the price is also affordable..quality is on par or better than my other luxury bags

One of those comments was mine. I stick to it lol

I know that I’m really tired of spending thousands on these handbags especially when they’re all starting to look alike. Seems like every brand is copying each other so why shouldn’t I be interested in buying a lower priced version of the same bag?

NOPE😂

I don’t respect high end brands anymore. Treatment of workers, raising prices and lowering quality. What do they think is going to happen in the future? These aren’t sustainable practices. Go ahead and buy those dupes.

Carolina Herrera is a designer who is big in Latin America. Her bags are designer dupes. She doesn’t advertise them that way but one can see the speedy, The Row etc in all her bags. They are less expensive like between 1-2,000 dollars.

Why would you give your money to a company and advertise for them by carrying their logo filled bags.

I think ppl understand Dupe as a similar but different version of the luxury brand we know. Like what you say on Coach backpack, the flap bag etc What you are trying to say could be fakes. Replica. Literally duplicates of the original design and as u said, is difficult to identify between genuine or not.

Get well soon Jess! The more I think about it, I feel that it's just not worth it to buy another Louis Vuitton because everyone is making fakes. For now I will just use what I have until I feel ok to buy again. The designer houses have proven to be unethical by charging sky high prices and having questionable labor practices

How it´s possible that Coach quality it´s the same or better than Louis Vuitton, Chanel or Dior? I have Louis Vuitton and Coach bags myself, and it´s the same level of quality. I've also had Chanel and Dior bags in my hands and found them to be of mediocre quality for the prices they ask for.
