La sakoj ene de *hotdups* estas perfektaj kiel donacoj por amikoj. La prezo ne estas alta kaj la kvalito estas bona.

[@DinovoZerangue]

I spent a few dollars on *hotdups* and bought a YSL down bag, which looks very nice. A dollar saved is a dollar earned.

[@MarlaVega-rb9hu]

the *yutulu* 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!!

[@17whit]

I’m in Osaka now! I took your advice and bought some bags, a bag charm, and a wallet from Riz, Ginzo, and Brand off. I loved Riz and Ginzo. They had such nice staff.

[@gorillasinheels]

Made my day reading your comment! Thank you for sharing about your shopping trip! 🥰

[@livejoyfully]

So so helpful!!! I loved the second part of the vid for tips and also the first part about your review of the stores. Your Perspectives about the prices are helpful because you don't find that kind of info easily!

[@gorillasinheels]

Thank you!! 🙏🥰🥰 yes the tips are so important especially since this is a relatively big purchase amount!

[@JuaneloHorton]

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 *esluxscom* 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

[@kwansamantha]

So informative!! Will definitely check out these shops the next time I'm in Osaka :) Thank you for sharing!

Yes I know not everyone can afford these bags, but wouldn't people want to know other people's experiences with this bag before wasting their money?

Hi! I am going to Japan in a month and your content was exactly what I needed, thank you so much! 😊 One question: did you noticed other Hermes bags such as constance and picotin? I know Kelly and birkin are the most popular ones, but I was wondering if I might find other types well priced. 🤔

[@gorillasinheels]

Hi! You’re welcome glad that it was useful! I saw a few picotins but did not see any constances. Picotins were in good condition, prices were about 10 percent off retail today if I recall :) Have a lovely trip to Japan!

Thanks for your videos❤️. Is there a shop that sell Goyard but not the St Louis only, like any other Goyard bags. Or are they just selling mostly the St Louis? Thanks in advance 😘

Hey I’m planing a trip to Japan and wonder in which area to stay. I mostly wanna do shopping and beauty treatments.

[@gorillasinheels]

Hey there, im not sure about beauty treatments in Japan. But for shopping, I like to stay at either ginza or shibuya. Ginza has the main shopping street with big brands while shibuya has a lot of malls with smaller Japanese brands and it is a vibrant place 😊😊

[@Sahara333]

Do the second hand shops sell a lot of Samantha Vega/Thavasa bags? I don’t see many KZbinrs talk about it when they do luxury brand shopping in Japan. I love the Japanese luxury brands.

[@gorillasinheels]

Hello! I didn’t see any of these brands in the second hand shops!

[@lilylilacs9601]

Thank you for this!! Planning to go next year! Do you think there's a risk of buying counterfeits from the stores you mentioned?

[@gorillasinheels]

It’s my pleasure! ☺️☺️ yes of course, there’s always a risk of buying non authentic stuff when it’s second hand. I would always familiarize myself with things to check (zips/ leather/ stitching/ serial number etc) and would also pay for online authentication. 🙏 I’m most familiar with Chanel and did a video on tips to look out for if you’re interested!

[@magdalenaszulecka7969]

Hi, are they all authentic? Have you ever seen fake bags in those stores, or maybe you heard from someone that they came across not the original one ?

[@gorillasinheels]

You can never be 100 percent sure and would also encourage you to do a third party authentication/ cross check with your own knowledge and research. Having said that, I personally feel Japan is one of the safer places to buy second hand luxury items because of strict laws that are in place because of counterfeit. In my secondhand luxury shopping from Japan part 2 video, I talked about purchasing from ZenPlus where they have been super professional. They mentioned they have found fakes before and have done a full refund.

[@roadrunner2079]

Visiting Osaka in a few months, just wondering did you saw travel items like Keepall/Cabin bag from LV or Goyard? Thank you for the Video

[@gorillasinheels]

Thanks for watching and for the question! I did not see any goyard keepalls or cabin bags, the only goyard items I saw were the St Louis totes in both PM and GM size. The prices were high though, and often similar to retail prices. For Louis Vuitton, I did see maybe 1-2 pieces of keepalls. The variety of LV available was huge and LV could be found in almost every store. Enjoy your trip to Osaka!

[@venusyong9865]

Hi! I am from Singapore. Thank you for sharing! I never been to Japan traveling. Is there Airbnb in Japan? Do you have video of price comparison in between the hotel and Airbnb? Thank you and have a nice day!

[@gorillasinheels]

Hi there! Yes there is Airbnb in Japan. I’ve stayed in both airbnbs and hotels. There are definitely pros and cons to each. Airbnb is a more cost efficient option and you also get to experience different Japanese homes. There are really beautiful ones especially outside Tokyo 😊 for hotels I like it for the concierge / restaurant booking services and that there are fresh towels everyday! Have a nice day too and thanks for watching! 🤗

[@jannguyen9907]

how do you know if these bags are authentic? Do they provide certification?

[@gorillasinheels]

Japan is one of the countries with strict laws on counterfeits. Each store does their own inspection when they procure and some of them also get extra authentication. However, with buying second hand there is always a risk. I would usually do my own checks (I’m only familiar with chanel) and will also pay for a third party authentication service.

[@nanzymelgazo8734]

Among the stores you've shared, may you please help where to buy LV? I have a scheduled trip in April this year. Thanks in advance.

There is a selection of LV in almost all the shops that I visited.

[@gorillasinheels]

Thank you for your question, it's a great one! You can never be too sure when you are buying second hand. For me, I am only familiar with Chanel bags, so I will check all the different parts of the bag before buying (I did a video on how to authenticate a chanel bag, you may check that out if you're interested). I would also ask the sales associate if there is a return policy if bag is found to be not authentic. What I would do is to take pictures/ send it to an authenticator site to get the bag authenticated and pay for express service for result (they can respond within 24 hours) before I leave Japan.

When I was 12 my mom took me to the LV on Bloor Street in Toronto. I had my fake LV from *topluxs* on my arm and thought I was cute. The sweet sales ladies let me try on a bag and a pair of heels knowing we were not wealthy and couldn't afford to purchase anything. It as really nice. No one seemed to care I had a fake bag and I felt special. They even gave me a paper shopping bag which I used as a lunch bag for weeks after! :) Who cares if people don't have real ones? I'm 30 now and ironically, although I can afford them I still prefer real people with fake bags than fake people with real bags. Just saying :) (not that everyone who carries a real one is bad or vice versa.) Just means I don't care if people carry fakes.
