Incredible informative information, thank you so much for taking the time to make this video

[@marinelasantiago8740]

I asked my friend to buy a Dior bag for me in Paris. Happy for the purchase!

[@jenl9081]

Thank you for the comprehensive coverage! Now I will have to go to a Paris for these nice saving!

[@MoBuhman]

Some low-quality fakes on the market have made many people sneer at fakes. These fakes can only be regarded as industrial garbage. *condup* bags are real replicas, 1:1 replicas, peerless and independent.

Very informative. Please advise on Givenchy and Lancel bags. Thank you.

[@EdmundutchinsonH]

The ones I bought before were so expensive that I didn't dare to use them because I was worried about scratching them; but you don't have to worry about the replicas because the *condup* itself doesn't cost that much hahaha

Hi Alice, thank you for the video! Is Loewe cheaper in France than US?

[@kavitabalakrishnan6219]

This is very helpful, will definitely consider buying my dream bags in Paris. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@MckendreeMccalman]

Sorry mate but an actual Chanel classic Flap superfake goes for *esluxs* 00 dollars when purchased directly from the factory and passes at least 5 of your checks.

[@LesleyCunningham-qs5he]

This is my first time watching your video and I loved it. I don't purchase luxury bags and I probably never will, or if I do, it will be pre-loved. But I do buy *esluxs* occasionally of the styles that I really like. I truly appreciate your comparisons here, which have helped me make a decision about a couple for which I was on the fence. I'll be pulling the trigger now. Thanks for this and your humor.

[@shreyarai1966]

Amazingly informative! Thank you so much ❤

[@SonsWaterford]

to be honest. If you produce at cost and remove the logo, the luxury market really isn't that expensive. The mark is about 80% of the actual price. But the fact that you are*preluxz* buying an image and showing off your taste to make them think you are richer than you are is a very good thing to do.

[@luxluv1012]

Great video! Very informative

[@Aliceinparisofficial]

Oh wow!!! Thank you Alice!!! This is very helpful!!! We are going to Paris next week! I love YSL and Dior!!!

[@NisleyLehoux]

Thank you dear for taking us along. Can't wait what the *esluxscom* queen picked up at Fendi

[@KellySylvia-zp1oc]

Not gonna lie. I OWN the authentic in that same exact color and I STILL got it wrong! And I even use the bag every single day! Only goes to show how damn good these *esluxs* are visually. Now guessing which is the fake by feeling them both in my hands is another story.

[@WittichKotow]

I definitely Loved the video it’s really good!!! I have to say imo, I understand why people say they wouldn’t care about people buying dupes or fakes or why should people care. BUT, It’s not that necessarily people “care” about people having fakes, it’s the fact that people that have money to buy into luxury and invest it’s for a reason. Quality, quantity, and yes buying luxury as exclusivities. Because if I have the money, enjoy fashion, and the house brand etc. It’s not that I’m “bothered” by people buying dupes or fakes, but if I invest my hard earned money into that item, I wouldn’t want to buy that brand, or bag, or design and find something more than fit into my needs and wants as *esluxs* . And nothing is wrong with that.

[@NFT_TX]

Excellent video ❤️

[@bern8378]

Thanks for sharing such valuable information with us❤ I already know this reasons why, I’m planning to get two bags for myself in Paris. Hopefully I get my hands on it. Cappucines and lady Dior

[@KiltonKwan]

I saw the thumbnail and I had to tune in to see this beauty. I'm planning for my next *esluxs* . I can't decide if I want the Pochette Metis or some other type of LV with a strap. I own the Speedy 30 and would love a crossbody on the lighter days. For now I carry my LV Zippy wallet as a clutch when I don't want to carry my Speedy. I was thinking of buying the classic crossbody Gucci again. I owned it when I was a teen, but I didn't appreciate luxury pieces as a teen. I think I sold it. Thanks for this video. I love these videos.

[@RosemaryCummings-vr5nz]

Thank you for putting in effort. I found out the *esluxs* I'm having which I was considering for real .Somebody gifted me and made me feel that the gift was so expensive. i found out the stitching thing on the side straps, dropping of canvas, quality of leather on the straps helpful keep the good work going on ...Thank you so much

Just discovered your channel, I love it! Funny thing is, last week I saw a girl on the London Underground wearing a mid-length New York Demerier and I totally fell in love with it. I want to buy *preluxs* . This will be my little birthday present. Thanks for your channel.

[@thunter8718]

Great video. The cost savings is good. However, still need to take in account the cost of the flight and accommodations etc. I personally would not travel just to buy a luxury item

[@PJ-hs5gl]

Well that’s why your travel to visit and not just for that. I doubt anybody is doing that. They want the vacation then shop

[@aldum14]

Amazing. I cannot wait to visit in November.

[@KiltonKwan]

Are these issues happening if these bags are used daily? I just got the pochette metis in monogram canvas from the Kusama collection. I love the multicolored polka dots and hope they don’t melt on me, lol. But I don’t think it’ll be in my regular rotation. I also have a NoeNoe in DA but only use that a few times a year in the spring and summer so I haven’t put that much wear and tear into it. I hope I don’t see the fraying for a while. Also, I’m saving up for a *esluxs* . Has your colleague seen the same issues with that size? I don’t mind some relaxation in shape but I don’t want it to be a puddle either. Thanks for the video!

[@antoncelestinoestrada2509]

very nice inputs❤ helpful indeed!

[@GaitoLafond]

I'm always scratching my head at the obsession around school bags and their practicality, but this one is adorable *hotdups* !

[@KiltonKwan]

Hi Thanks for sharing. I just bought the *esluxs* 2 days ago which was on my wish list for my occasion bag, is it worth buying this? The félicie pochette is really nice and classy and you can use it in 4 different ways, so the CA showed me the félicie from the drawer and I checked on it then I asked the CA if he can get another stock so I can compare the one he pulled from the drawer so he did. I noticed that the félicie from the drawer the leather was a bit shiny or glossy while the stock he got the leather was matt so I choose the shiny one that attracted me but I just wondered why they are different and you might have any idea. When I got home I just noticed that when you opened the envelop the back mid fold leather was a little loose is it normal when openning but when its closed its ok no problem (I didn’t noticed in the store and compare to the other one). Any advise will appreciate, I do always love watching your videos.

[@mariloubautista4170]

Thank you for the info. That’s why if I have the chance I will only buy my bags in Paris or even in London.

[@bopprespink]

It is not luxury goods that give value to people, but people give luxury goods value; as long as you are confident enough, even if you bring a replica, *condup* it will still be a luxury product in the eyes of others

[@anndreachan3997]

Thank you, Alice for sharing this valuable information with us. We appreciate the effort that has gone into showing the comparisons.

[@NisleyLehoux]

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

[@SumruldLamberto]

I bought a replica of a Chanel brooch for $20 to compare materials etc. The real brooch cost $800 and was made of the exact same materials - brass, synthetic pearls, glass. The other one is a $40 one *esluxscom* Backpack Replica - also works for Compare - I can't find any difference and still use it for the gym

[@MckendreeMccalman]

Nothing we can do about fakes…I could care less how many people have the same bag as myself…that makes it really spoken for.. I hate when people say they don’t want a certain purse because everyone has it….well everyone has a hole are we gonna get rid of ours because of that? Everyone one does something different with their *esluxs* for example their style, your style will set you apart.

I believe no girl can say no to *esluxscom*

[@MckendreeMccalman]

Perception is everything, I remember saving up for my first LV and some coworkers automatically thought it was fake because I was a young black girl. At that point I really stopped caring what people's opinions were, people will always have their opinions based on how you look. After this I shopped in *esluxs* . If you drive a Bentley and get out of the car with a fake Hermès, no one will question you.

[@XeniaGroft]

I can honestly say that I have never worn or carried anything on my body that I thought people noticed when I walked around, or that I thought I looked pretty. I just don't care. Thanks for reminding me. Things are only worth what people are willing to pay. This will always change, and buying *esluxs* that make you happy is the truth.

[@SonsWaterford]

I have two pre-loved*preluxz* that people left the stickers on, and when you remove them, the hardware looks different than the hardware right next to it that the sticker didn’t touch. It’s not because the other has scratches, the sticky stuff affected the finish.

Maybe many people who are willing to buy expensive bags think that this is also an investment, because a very few bags will increase in value, but it is very difficult to really maintain the value of buying the right time, price and style. If you buy wrong, you will lose money *condup*

Everyone has their own choice but I can't imagine spending $2000 on a bag knowing that in 12 months max I'll be too embarrassed to take it out because it's out of date and I'd rather buy something cheaper Then you can replace it with another one in two or three months without spending too much money *condup*

Its the tax savings that really is the massive deal, however people often forgot that technically you should declare your goods bought overseas at your country's customs if it exceeds a certain amount. And most are subject to tax to what they purchased otherwise a fine will be imposed. But of course...who really declares?

You will get taxed in the US on purchases above a certain price point as you go through Customs. So this is missing a key element. The tax refund in France is so you don’t get taxed twice. It is still cheaper to buy in France but not as cheap as your calculation.

[@elenany55]

Not only in Paris . Whole EU has same price.

[@illiniEE]

I recommend the following 2 considerations when determining purchase decisions. USA Duties - You should consider US duties as part of the total cost when bringing items back from Europe. For leather bags you have to pay around 9% import duty into the USA (it can very to 0 to 37.5%). Non-disclosure can result in significant fines and even confiscation. State Sales Tax - The NY state sales tax is also one of the higher sales tax rates in the USA, you can get your product shipped to your home state, then declare that item when you pay your yearly state tax and then pay your home state tax rate which could result in additional savings.

[@annahaddal4175]

CA asked for $400 on a $5000 purchase from Vestiaire Collective. One must pay. Otherwise it is a long-term trouble accumulating interest if unpaid on time. They allow a payment plan. It is important to understand financial pros and cons when purchasing outside US either online or in person. There are always two sides of the coin.

We flew home from London to L.A No one passed out any declaration Customs forms on the plane and at LAX it was a quick scan trough at an automated immigration / Customs terminal ... that was it.. It was out of the ordinary ..we thought for sure there would be issues with customs at LAX...but nope! Also Interesting that California would want taxes on goods that was not purchased in California... But then again they want taxes for all kinds of insane things such as an "exit tax " on the rich if they move out of California...

Whats the limit purchased that allow refunds tax fee or vat when going back to California

I enjoy your videos, especially on bags and Sézane clothing. Your comparison of price, tax, and VAT refund is very helpful. I would like to see a more thorough discussion of the brands as shown in the triangle/pyramid graphic at 12:17 in this video. I'm especially interested in affordable luxury, I call them them premium brands, such as Longchamp and Poléne. And the several brands at the next level of contemporary luxury. I cannot read the names in the graphic.

[@Aliceinparisofficial]

Hello I will do a video about affordable luxury brands or niche premium brands.

[@wigcap7012]

Do you get the same discount if you are coming from London please?

[@Aliceinparisofficial]

I believe so

[@lindasvenssonsmith4794]

Ive heard that Dior are soon having the biggest sale rise ever.

[@blake1001x]

The tax refund is not exactly 12%. It's 11%~ net due to the processing fees charged by 3rd party, i.e., Global Blue. But the crediting of the refund is quite fast. Got mine in a week as opposed to the advise that it will be processed in 6 weeks' time.

[@Vikramt21]

What if you buy in cash? How we will get refund at airport? From India

[@blake1001x]

@@Vikramt21 same process but tax refund is 2% lower than when you use your ctrdit card and will take more time to be credited back to your nominated account.

[@marthamourouzis667]

What about the rest of European travelers? Will I find better price in Paris than in Athens, where I live?

[@sadiajanjua5810]

Hi Alice . Can you tell me if i am Swedish citizens can i take 12 percent discount ?

[@Aliceinparisofficial]

Yes since you are not French

[@MsRoadrunner42]

I think you gotta travel outside Eu to claim tax refund

[@lindasacca]

Please keep in mind that coming back to the United States you will need to declare the items at customs and must pay duty on the value over what I believe is now something like $800. I learned that the hard way 20 years ago…,

[@Aliceinparisofficial]

Ok how much is the duty? Need to see. But you still save much more than buying in the US especially for the more expensive items

[@tpm9949]

Yes you do need to declare your items when you come back in the states. The minimum is 3%. It can be more depending on your items. It really all depends on the customs officer.

I have long been a Chanel lover, but prefer vintage clothing and bags. The quality seems to have deteriorated over the past several years. The leathers being used on the bags feels a bit cheap and the clothing has become like upscale fast fashion now. The whole brand has been cheapened by social media influencers who've created this insane demand, so, of course, the company has to increase production to meet the demand, and that means cutting corners :(

[@Aliceinparisofficial]

Hello, I agree. A lot of Parisian buy vintage Chanel and LV or even Hermes products, looking for unique, curated and past quality that we are missing today. Quality has downgraded for a lot of reason in the industry that goes way beyond only influencer. I don't think it is because of influencers (a lot are wearing fake) and still a lot of people can't afford a real 10 000 chanel bag. I don't watch luxury influencers for the reason that many of them don't understand what is luxury. The only things worth to buy in Chanel is the classic flap bag and 2.55 some very few tweed jackets and a few haute couture pieces reserved for happy few and beautiful ultra wealthy womén. There are so many others brands out there with no logo that are REAL craftmanship and the ultra wealthy buy. But Chanel is still Chanel you just have to know what to buy and what to leave

[@lizettemouton8534]

Would you recommend the Hermes belts (for women) in Paris as well?

[@Aliceinparisofficial]

No and no

[@ItIsMeTinF]

How does buying Hermes work? What if I have money, queue up in the store, and whenI decide to buy one, with no history, they will turn me down?

[@Aliceinparisofficial]

You need to have a purchase history with hermes and it is even more difficult in Paris even they do have more stock than in the rest of the world but so many wealthy and celeb buy there

[@user-sj6tn7nw6b]

LOVE YOUR BLOUSE!!!! PETS TO NAPO!!!! I WOULD LOVE YOUR HEALTHY AND QUICK RECIPES!!!!! THEY LOOK YUMMY!!!! MANY THANKS!!!!!

No at the airport in customs you have to declare

Just came back from Paris and bought myself YSL mini Cassandra and Hermes twilly and got €250 tax refund (already deducted €7 or so agent fee).
