[@dialmstyle]

Walmart?!? No one spends 2k at Walmart! 😂

[@stephanieromeroschenk9018]

I purchased the NF MM yesterday and the quality is horrible. I also got the wallet to match. I opened my items this morning and noticed that the wallet has white scuffs on it. I'm very unhappy and am going back right now to point out the problems and request to get a replacement for both items that I haven't even had for 24 hours. I'm super sad and upset to be charged $3k and then to have to go back wait for 2 hours or more to be helped. LV you should be ashamed to treat your customers so poorly.

The bill was insane and Amex kept declining thinking his card was stolen. I saw a video of him talking about it once here on KZbin. It was so funny!

I bought it brand new from the LV boutique and after 5 days, I had to have it repaired in the store. Then a few weeks later, it had to be shipped out for the same repair. The same thing is becoming an issue again and I really don't carry it a whole lot. I'm now looking at other brands and have recently gotten into Tory Burch.

Thank you for sharing your insights on this Michelle. I feel really bad for the SA. The way they're treated is just inhumane in my opinion. But, honestly I think the price increases are partyly the consumers fault too. We keep buying despite these crazy prices increases with inferior quality (yes, guilty here). And I agree with you, those execs don't care about us. The only time they would care is when people actually stop buying. I would be hypocrite to say I will never buy from LV again, but it will be for a while.

You are right. Any business will charge as much as they think the customer is willing to pay.

My jaw dropped when you said the price increases were every other year! I’m into it since pandemic and thought that it was once or twice a year… for sure they got too greedy and I don’t think it’s luxurious to give customers a higher price every time they walk into a store 🙅🏻‍♀️

I’m done with LV. If you’ve seen my vintage Speedy video, which is the Speedy that I bought in 2002, I paid $350 for it, and it’s better quality than the Speedy 25 they are selling now for four times the price. There’s no way to justify the cost of any of their items. Saying it’s because of the supply chain is bs, and blaming the pandemic when their profits soared is just outrageous. The only person benefitting is Mr. Arnaut and the investors.

[@larissasmirnoff3325]

I was looking at the Capucines BB in Scarlet, just because I think it is pretty, but when I saw the $6,750 price tag I almost choked. I thought it was high at $5,000. But until consumers start speaking with their wallets and start telling these brands that we’re not paying $8,000 for your poorly made purse and let them sit on the shelves, we have no one to blame but ourselves. Switching to YSL and Gucci. More interesting, at a better price point.

[@d2dag5]

They were always expensive. I knew that. Already felt like it wasn’t worth the materials but I still bought it because I liked it. But I was really turned off with the new prices. And to know that the employees aren’t even making that much commission makes it worse.

I really enjoyed your video. Honestly, There isn’t a whole lot of resistance from consumers. Presidents’ Day and the line for my nearby LV store was wrapped , twice that of V-day if I recall. Same with Chanel, Dior, Goyard etc. My colleague received a neverfull GM prior to the increase and exchanged it for the MM (which now costs more than the larger GM did 2 weeks ago) 🤯 (yes she paid the difference on her exchange for a smaller bag) Few consumers have refrained from continuing to purchase LV and other designers like Chanel (who had a whopping 57% increase in the trailing 12 months). However the masses will continue to crave these luxury items regardless of price increases, quality concerns etc.

The thing is they don;t care about regular customers and let's be honest a lot of the influencers get the bag for free. What many people don't seem to understand is there are more very rich who don't care about price or quality and will pay for the bags. Those are the customers that LV wants and will keep them in business.

[@hankypanda]

I used to think I was spending a lot by buying a $200-$300 bag before I was able to buy an LV. It’s wild that $1K was “low end” designer prices in the 2010s and now $2K is the new low end! they are really pulling a Chanel, falling quality (so I’ve heard, my pieces have held up), skyrocket price increase. I love repurposed jewelry though! My mom made me a cuff a very long time ago, and I got some buttons and padlock charms off eBay and have made “Chanel” and LV earrings and necklaces hehe. I’d never buy costume designer jewelry but it’s been fun to make and I enjoy wearing it.

[@dialmstyle]

My husband will look over a bag for any imperfections and if he finds one he will ask to see another because he feels if he is spending that amount of money then it has to be perfect. I can honestly say I won't be buying from LV because I dislike when a company cuts commissions and incentives for their employee's because without them and the clients they would be nothing

I'm an LV canvass lover😍 and I just started my collection last year when we were still in Europe, I got 6 bags and 5slgs tax free for a capsule luxury collection that fits my lifestyle, all canvasses. There's a few that eluded me bec it was just not available in most of Europe. From Germany, Amsterdam ,Milan and Florence I can't find the timing to get the Speedy B 25 in Monogram😥. Last December it was available in Wynn, Las Vegas and I bit the bullet bec I knew they've been frequent with the price increases. Whew, I snatched a mini pochette DE here in San Antonio Texas before the Feb 16 increase. Yes I panicked but it took me 10yrs to commit to luxury. In a way I should have collected waaay earlier but I thought I'll be happy with contemporary brands. But when our finances improved and we achieved our set priorities, it paved way to buy lux. But boy oh boy this is too much. I only have 1 on my wishlist and I'm buying it pre-loved! I'm glad I'm not into full on leather bec I can't afford it.

So spot on…I’m not the desired customer for a bag. But I can always spend on shoes and accessories.

If the Pochette Metis was increased from $2360 to $2570 then that calculates to be a 8.89 % increase, not 25%. A 25% increase would be 2360 × 1.25 = $2950.

Thank you for the video. I have several bags and slg's from LV, and I could probably buy more. Am I going to? No. I have noticed the quality of the products have decreased and I heard other people complained about it, so it is not just my items. I don't like LV's approach and I feel like it has changed their image. LV is supposed to be about great quality, history, classics. They keep bringing new items that are very questionable and will probably not be classics like Speedy, Ellipse, Brea, or even Neverfull. Even though I personally have all of the bags I really like and that fit my lifestyle from LV, I feel bad for people who now cannot purchase the items because of the price increase. I also don't want to participate in economy of the brand which does not seem to pay well for their employees. I'm not sure who they want to sell their things to now, or why. It seems to be all about the money, and it's sad. It is the reason I never wanted to and never will buy anything from Hermes. I have 0 desire to participate in this game where I have to convince people to take my money in an exchange for a product. There are many more ways I can spend the money. LV has been my favorite brand, but I have to admit that I sort of like my collection less now, it's like I don't want to be a part of that greed. I might decide to even sell the whole collection if the feeling does not change in a few months.

@@1luvm334 honestly Gucci is better quality. I haven’t had to return a Gucci item for quality issues like I’ve done with LV. I’m gonna have to think long and hard before buying LV again especially with these price increases.

What a bloody scam…the last time I bought a bag was 4 years ago and I got the speedy 25 bandoliere in canvas and was shocked at how the corners started to show wear after only a summer (Scottish summers last like literally 4-5 weeks). I then vowed not to buy any more new LV items and not to sell my vintage items because you WILL NOT find the same type of quality in new LV bags. So disappointing.

[@dialmstyle]

Agree! Vintage in all brands seem to be much better!

Hi Michelle! Great video! It was so interesting to learn all the ins and outs we customers are not privy to. I have been looking for your channel. You look great! Thank you for sharing your LV experiences with us. I am so glad I purchased my LV when I did.I have everything I want from LV. It was wonderful seeing you again. I wish there was a way to mark a channel as a favorite. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a great weekend ❤️

[@dialmstyle]

Hi Eileen! Thank you so much! It’s funny KZbin hasn’t showed me your channel either! I will go watch and support! I think you have a wonderful collection and good thing you do! ❤️

Do you have any thoughts on Goyard canvas St Louis totes? Would you say they’re worth the price?

[@AshetLux]

To be fair, in France, there were huge complaints from the general public on the massive price increase of petrol and car fuel. ⛽So it does make sense they use this to explain the price increase although it doesn't explain the entire amount they went up. They could have had a 2-5% increase. I feel Hermès are more reasonable with their increase. The Bastia goes up by 5€ in every yearly increase. Which to me is fair.

Thank you for sharing I was recently looking on the louis vuitton website in the uk as I was considering buying x2 of the canvas bag , however the website kept coming up access denied after I entered the items in the shopping basket. I then thought let me just look at some of the reviews on u tube, Ive decided to take my money elsewhere, as alot of the designer bags have become very common ie everybody's wearing the same styles and Louis Vuttion bags are one of the most available fake bags to buy.

[@dialmstyle]

It sounds like they were restricting you from buying 2 bags. It is true, it’s now too common. Thanks for your comment!

[@sophieeeaaahhs6547]

Do you think that there are or will be any "entry level" handbags to purchase from LV anymore? I purchased a few SLG's, but even those went up in price! I think the LV SLG's are the new "entry level" for someone just getting into the brand. Do you think that luxury brands in general (Gucci, Saint Laurent etc.) are trying to phase out their entry level pieces, and phase out the 'average customer"? Thanks for the info!

[@eaglezero78]

I don't know what they think they're doing with the price increases. Increasing the price isn't going to change the perception of LV as a soccer mom brand, and as long as soccer moms can still get used or fake neverfulls to bring everywhere, the perception is going to stay the same. I just don't see the brand having the same reputation as Hermes, Chanel, Dior, etc.

[@janeematri9780]

So will they have another price increase in August?

[@annevchen]

I feel so bad for the CA no wonder they are not so keen on selling the monogram canvas, and pushing more on selling the leather goods. I’ve a question, I just got my first vintage speedy monogram 25. How do you clean or condition the canvas? I’ve heard just soap and water, but what I’d the canvas looks “dry” I’ve seen people using Armor All to condition it.

[@dialmstyle]

You need restoration help, and that’s not my expertise!

[@dapperlygrungy3189]

Thank God I'm not into luxury brands like LV. I just enjoy watching you guys buy these bags knowing there's quality issues with peeling, cracking, and tarnishing. Why do employees stay at LV with a .1-0% commission? Is the hourly wage higher? LV is not exclusive when they are known for defects on their bags and SLG's. If I were you guys, I'd boycott and ban LV completely. Don't be suckers to LV.

[@jenmccain9567]

They would keep their customers easier if they raise the quality and not the price … a price doesn’t make something worthy , quality does. I don’t like most of the leather bags … maybe why I paid 2000 for a never full PM in canvas last week, but the quality has gone down :(

[@netta178]

Thanks so much for your insight! I have a question though maybe you have insight on this too. Do you think to make more ppl buy knocks since LV keeps upping the price and not necessarily the quality?

[@wongll2306]

Hi Michelle, thanks for the LV price increase heads up. Btw, is it worth to get a pre-loved Soufflot Epi Leather (Papillon 30) Bag. Does it has an resell value now?

[@dialmstyle]

I wouldn't look at it for re-sale value honestly, those do not resell as well. However, it's smart to buy pre-loved if it's in great condition.

[@CyndiCaviedes]

I remember when the speedy was 400 euros… and I thought it was insane. I finally got the money to buy a lux bag but I bought a YSL leather bag instead of a LV canvas bag. Same price, way better quality AND more exclusive because you don’t see that many replicas :) so I don’t think that I will buy any LV bags. I’m just over making billionaires more wealthy.

[@tarreemhacaruso2687]

The priced are making me rethink my purchases. Also, not to be “that” person but the %s are way off (1890 to 2030 is 7.4% and 2360 to 2570 is almost 9%). Still too much of an increase if the quality isn’t increasing. Thank you for the video. Still debating.
