Luxury Brands Have Been Tricking You 🤔

Billion dollar companies will do anything to save as much money as possible

[@carlalatuda6574]

A lot of knock-offs of those billion dollar companies’ products are made in the same factories in China as the name-brands. Furthermore, a majority of the knock-off manufacturers buy their leather from the same Italian factories.

[@robertcropley7714]

As a child my father would compensate for this whenever he purchased a new belt for my brother and I. Long before he would ever allow us to get our hands on the belts he would thoroughly rub it down with a mineral oil and then lay it out on a table for a few days to set in and dry. It made the leather more supple and much less likely to dry out and start cracking anytime soon.

[@hollystiener16]

Smart!

[@elenka775]

Good tip, I'll think of this, thanks

[@ms.construed1305]

Great idea.

[@1_star_reviews]

The belts are already piled before you purchased it, it’s also has a varnish on it to help make the leather last longer, especially if the leather is colored

[@robertcropley7714]

@DaisyAppleJuice This was the 70's that I'm remembering and I'm not sure where he was purchasing them from but from what I remember, it was effective for making them last a long time. That was a common goal at all times with the budget being rather short.

[@John.Doe42069]

That's exactly what I am saying. Luxury brands have the craziest margins imaginable. Their material cost is virtually the same as any other brand or no-name product. It's just at that point where they slap their logo on it, when this stuff gets so outrageously expensive. Why buy dress shoes from Gucci for $800 that don't really fit that well when you can get custom made ones with exceptional quality for half that?

[@androtours]

Nowadays people are buying brand signs rather than bags or clothes

[@lazarnikolic65]

Aha specifically noways and never before Wait till you find out about diamond industry

[@assassin8636]

Um that's the point of clothing

[@happygirl4218]

I've known this for years. I have never, nor will I ever waste money on the "luxury" brands. They're overpriced, and made poorly. You're absolutely right to buy these items

[@bruhspenning]

100% recycled at H&M means the tag on the clothes is made out of 100% recycled materials, not the clothes themselves

[@assassin8636]

​@fI1cker is that what they are telling you?

[@OnlineCitizenTV]

When I explain between different grain of leather for furnitures, they’re mostly surprised to know genuine is not the best grain but the lowest quality!

[@robgreenwood6939]

"genuine leather" is made by taking all the "leather fibres" from the scraps and glued onto a fabric. That's why you get a chemical smell from it when it's new.

[@MMChoza]

If you want quality then order hand made with true craftsmen. You can personalise everything from buckles, colour, design...and you are supporting people who are keeping old crafts on life support

[@juliejanesmith57]

Isn’t it weird that fur is taboo but leather isn’t?

[@kikalcala]

I guess it is because leather is closely related to the meat industry, which isn't really taboo as well...

[@whitepeony.]

No animal is killed on purpose for leather, since it is provided by the meat industry, for fur on the other hand animals are breed for killing, since most of the animals that have marketable furs don't have any other use

[@TiiqawxHD]

I read this whilst eating a family bucket of kfc. By myself.

[@emsi6632]

Plus i heard in school they would do bad things to the animals I think unalive them bad so the fur doesn’t get destroyed or I don’t remember the exact words bc It doesn’t make sense with the images I saw/ video I saw how they hit baby seals on the head disgustingly coldheartedly- like the argument was to save as much as gut as possible but how if they kill them by hitting them on their head…. But if i didn’t see the documentary with my own eyes I wouldn’t know. And those animals are tiny in comparison to human - so maybe 10-50 or even 100 baby seals must die so one jacket could be made…killing baby’s… But leather- like human eat sheep and cows so using their wool (is the less hurtful bc to much wool is bad for them) But yeah leather is death but the animal is being used even the ears and bones for dog food etc. I also heard that they ripp the feathers out from living animals (ducks) for our jackets and pillow etc…. Human are so disgusting for nothing at the end… for „looks“ or their own „privilege“ (well-being ) Ethically animals are animals so I don’t wanna argue - just wanted to share my knowledge😅 Ah and like those animals SHOULD be cared and loved for everyday (sounds strange to love and kill a cow to eat and use) but fur animals are mostly still wild animals that are also existentially threatened BECAUSE of humans killing them baby’s for fur….

[@ildesu789]

Leather is a product of beef. The other alternative is just throwing it away.

[@RoseyRose20]

When you buy from brands like this, you're breaking your bank for he brand, not for the product. It could be a garbage bag but because it's covered in logos, people will buy just to have the thrill to buy it. They are actually made at the same price range as really cheap brands before the logos are put on. That's why I love local craftsmen, you're actually paying to have a good product. Better material and much prettier designs.

[@nayeliv.4718]

I don't understand why people insist on giving their money to these companies.

[@Ichwiebrot]

1000$ item produced for like 50$😅

[@BORIS21610]

The problem is in nowadays product I and my family do own lots of Italian designer items older than 10 years they have incomparable difference what they use to sell what they mostly sell nowadays even fragnances are reformulated and couple of them are so diluted that do not project or last as in the year that they were introduced since majority of consumers are literally either novices or are blind in love to see the reality just Be Aware God May Bless you All❤

[@ebonix33]

Who cares...the brand status will overshadow any of this news...😅

[@bedinabebe4521]

As the quality declines in some of these brand's products, inferior quality is easily detectable by the naked eye for those who know quality. And they're raising their already astronomical prices. Will wealthy elites who can actually afford these brands continue to purchase?

[@douvaman]

fun fact: the label “made in…” referred to the country that placed the label, not where it’s assembled

[@kaprix6436]

bro went "oh, btw, here's an *ad,* hope you don't mind 😊

[@SonicSpeedy0]

Yeah but the problem is, people don’t pay for the quality or the utilization of the item, they pay for the name/logo

[@smileychess]

I considered buying a Mercedes, then learned about their awful maintenance costs. Then considered an Audi, and they're even worse! Then looked at the price tags and decided to get a 20 yr old Honda instead. Couldn't be happier.

These "high-end" brands are more status symbols than anything. Local shops have better quality at cheaper prices. You are paying for the logo. Not quality with these big brands.

My only belt and wallet are more than ten years old with genuine leather markings, its not "good as new" but does the job. I think its fine.

[@oliverriezebos]

Yeah true! This guy acts like it's a huge problem but it's just real leather which is perfectly fine for non-harsh working conditions or anything else which requires it to be crazy high quality

[@XplorTravels1]

Lol they are using plastic and canvas …😂 for a $2000 bag

[@oliverriezebos]

That's not true my boy. It's still a leather which isn't topped with a big layer of polyurethane or paint, you can litterally see the texture of the skin. It might not be the thickest leather but its real and it's more than ok for items like bags. It's not meant for heavy working conditions no shit

[@sherinjohn001]

People who buy these brands dont care about the leather, its the brand name embellished in gold that matters to them.

I have this old coach wallet made from water Buffalo leather. The wallets over 20 years old I've carried it on my pocket everyday on construction sites and while paving roads it still looks and feels great.

None of the handbags I bought at Temu as genuine leather were even low geade leather...be careful! However the faux Foxtail key chain was indead genuine fur to my surprise, however wasn't a real tail, instead fur stripes stitched & glued together to a tail shape...which ofc for me was a pleasant surprise... PS: no disregard to your opinion... I'm a passionate animal lover, a very responsible & relliable pet owner, yet I'm also a carnivore, my feet love leather shoes & my skin prefers leather goods!

[@VooDooLouie1030]

They were already tricking you by selling you a 1000 dollar hand bag or sweatshirt

[@oliverriezebos]

They're not trucking anyone. Everyone knows that a 1000 dollars is not what the materials are worth. You pay for the design, the history and esthetic of the brand and the art

[@VentiVonOsterreich]

My faux Lacoste leather wallet lasted longer than a real Lacoste wallet (been using it for 14 years) probably because the fake one is made of real high quality leather

[@lucyk.5163]

I actually dislike the texture of full grain. How lucky am I to like cheaper material?!😂😂😂😂 But in general I dislike leather. Also... those high-end brands are more often than not, ugly. I can notice very clearly the difference in quality in their clothing (they ARE high quality indeed), but the accessories are usually ugly to me, regardless of quality.

[@Phoenix.219]

Some high end jewelry brands have beauty jewelry. In India the inclination is not that much towards diamond maybe that's why I find those beautiful but yeah if we overall see as jewelry then you will always find better and more unique jewelry in jeweller shops, they can make whatever you demand. If we are going for gold and gemstones and work then there are such beautiful jewelleries here that I at least don't see on websites of the mostly popular brands. There are few like Amrapali who is good

[@overrated3237]

This is just wrong. The Louis Vuitton bag pictured is made with a material called canvas. It is significantly more durable than leather. The accessories are made with leather yes, but they are in no way cheap pieces of leather. Same with Gucci, who literally started making leather luggage, also uses an extremely high grade leather. Not sure about YSL, but please stop spreading misinformation. Louis Vuitton bags are expensive but they are extremely durable. I have a LV canvas piece that was once my grandma’s who passed to my mum who passed to me and it is still in good condition and I use it everyday with care.

[@oliverriezebos]

Exactly!! The guy in the vid acts like it's horrible quality 😭

[@MMChoza]

Go see that guy that tears apart luxury brand leather bags and items. He gives genuine reviews and I find his videos to be very informative.

You act like they use VERY bad materials but that's not true 💀 Sure, it's not the best of the best leather most of the time but guess what, it's not made for harsh working conditions, it doesn't need a thick grain layer to make it heat and abrassion resistant. It's a handbag and it's meant to be careful with. It's not fake leather, it's not topped with a big layer of polyurethane, it's just fine

[@oliverriezebos]
