How 9 Luxury Items Are Refurbished | Refurbished | Insider

[@januszkurahenowski2860]

With that bag that was drawn on with a pen I'm 100% sure that if Chanel released a collaboration with some cool "independent" artist that would draw exactly the same thing it would sell out and people would love it.

[@ShayanGivehchian]

Is it even worth restoring these? The labour's cost will probably be the same as buying a new one unless it's not longer available

[@andriafehizoro686]

sentimental values ...

[@timisu]

Some people are emotionally attached to some of their clothing, plus why throw something in the garbage when it can be reused

[@andriafehizoro686]

@@timisu and I say amen 👐👐 finally a reasonable soul ....

[@Jaleelk0]

I think it's cheaper to restore

[@ShayanGivehchian]

@@Jaleelk0 the moment these were damaged their value dropped like 70% I'm Pretty ssure it costs more than 30% of their value to restore so basically its pointless

[@theresenydahl9531]

They are artists, I'm amazed by their skills❤

[@katrinaparris8013]

I would be interested in material list for these repairs. The leather filler and type of paints used. Great job. Keep up the good work

[@BlenderStudy]

Amazing quality of work..!! Thank you for the update, Insider..!!

[@ScarlettM]

Wish they would say how much such restoration costs.

[@deg6788]

70dollar

[@twintasticboys3499]

You can see why many items are expensive to begin with, because good shoes can last a lifetime if looked after and "serviced" on a regular basis. Also arent we lucky to have such skilled people who really are artists at what they do. You can see the love, care and skill that goes into every item that he restores. Another poster mentioned that a list of the items used in these restorations would be very helpful, and encourage people to learn and "have a go" themselves ?

[@stephenmacartney]

That bag should have been left exactly as it was. That Annabelle art was fire

[@stephenrojas6533]

We need more Tradesmen and women!!! You can make such a great living! I wish I started welding waaaaay earlier in life. High school should have two tracks; University or Tradesmen/Tradeswomen

[@cheekyb71]

Oh this is a compilation video, I've seen these before. Cool

[@kasturipillay6626]

This is a great video. Thanks for sharing I think everyone who wears shoes or carries a handbag should know how to do repairs. 👍👍❤❤😊

[@faarmer]

What i find most mind blowing is that there is a market for $800+ shoes. I understand maybe paying 500 for a decent winter jacket but this makes no sense.

[@_Just_Another_Guy]

Only for the rich elite as fashion statements during events such as galas. Us peasants are never meant to get our grubby hands on them nor wear them in public in the first place.

[@ChillingOut247]

Loving this. So satisfying !

[@ryanjimmy361]

And some strangers will say "hey, thats not original bruh"

[@andriafehizoro686]

let people use their money how they want to use it. let people repair their things if they want to. You people have issues, really.. all this drama because they repair their belongings... 🙄🙄

[@januszkurahenowski2860]

Yeah, and I thought that it's good to do that? Instead of throwing it away they're repairing it to use for years to come? It's a good attitude to buy a higher quality item and repair it when needed instead of buying cheap things that get thrown in the trash immediately when they get any kind of wear.

[@kamrankazemi]

Very nice job.... Great.... 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Gg-ij7li]

Jesus loves you and is coming back soon! Believe in His death and resurrection and accept Him as your Lord and Saviour and be saved and abandon your sins and turn to Him! Have an amazing day!

[@vegetarianfoodie9091]

The guys would die if they knew I chuck my shoes into the washing machine

[@lecochonmalefique]

Any professional cobbler Knows that's exactly the WRONGEST way to do it. But the costumers only know about brands that show status not what's better and how is well done.

[@JefeGabe]

This is mad satisfying

I also thought abt this, but then realised that I could sell it for even higher price to an artist lol

remember when you tried to get a "hit piece" on Dave Portnoy for clout bruh

[@zZiL341yRj736]

These owners have enough money to buy new ones.

[@laneatkinson6441]

You don't HAVE to buy a new item every time something goes wrong with it. Just saying.

[@andriafehizoro686]

sentimental value ...

[@hchaag7474]

It's not about the money, obviously It's worth saving your items even though they're not Gucci I'm all up to revive quality items rather than buying new ones which are often worse quality

[@TonyMontanaOG]

It’s a quality items and it’s not meant to be discarded.

[@Ethereavenly]

Yeah but honestly luxury items are limited only and they can't make it again.

[@DieEineMieze]

The kid who drew on the expensive handbag got a real good spanking 😹😹😹

[@cuppkate]

oh yes the idea of beating children is hilarious. so funny.

[@Ozma2]

[@annadickens9245]

There is a HUGE difference between a spanking and a beating. I don't condone either, and have never spanked my children but they have grown up in a different age than I did. I got spankings and I deserved every one of them and I had the greatest parents in the world. That was the way it was back then.

[@arun_kumar0]

so lets get it straight... 1st buy an expensive ridiculous-looking product for its large logo... and if it gets old or damaged, spend even more money to make it look even more heinous... and here I thought, spending money on restoring art was ridiculous...

[@laneatkinson6441]

Why would you think it's ridiculous to spend money to repair things, especially art?? 🤔 I don't buy designer items, but it's clear that these people love these items, use them, and want to continue to use them for years to come. This is a more sustainable practice than just throwing something away any time a minor flaw develops.

[@arun_kumar0]

@@laneatkinson6441 i agree... but can you please look carefully and tell me, you cant tell the difference between a new product and a repaired one?? You can see it was repaired, but due to the camera quality, and editing it looks arguably beautiful... but when you see the product in real life, you can clearly tell the difference... these products have its value till they look brand new... once it gets old, you either throw it away or recycle it... a repaired product will make you look cheap... and you don't want people to say you are cheap... right? and people who spends 10grand on a bag, can easily affort another one... they don't care about product, they care about the logo and their status... these people might have an amazing hand, but after the repair, the product will look repaired...

[@andriafehizoro686]

let people use their money how they want to use it. let people repair their things if they want to. Do they come to your house and tell you what to buy, what to throw and what to keep ? you people have issues, really.. all this drama because they repair their belongings... 🙄🙄

[@arun_kumar0]

@@andriafehizoro686 yap they do come to my house to say... i watch youtube suggestion sitting in my house... technically its like coming into my house to showcase their so-called "hey watch me how I waste my money... i m rich and how I do cheap things" videos... did I come to your house to comment?? why did you felt oblized to reply me back on to my comment according to your logic... I am not a having any issue... i am having issue on why spend so much of money and making that a "DRAMA" on "how rich I am"... and judging by your comment, I think you are one of those repair artist... sorry if I hurt your so-called fake feelings.

[@JR-nj8le]

If you can't afford new gucci shoes then you shouldn't be wearing one in the first place. Just my honest opinion on restoring luxury items.

[@vintageludwig]

Exactly.

[@ShayanGivehchian]

Yeah but sometimes it maybe a sentimental value like a gift or something.

[@laneatkinson6441]

Why not repair something if it's able to be repaired? It's wasteful to throw something away every time it gets dirty.

[@ShayanGivehchian]

@Lane Atkinson these repairs are not practical repairs.

[@arun_kumar0]

@@ShayanGivehchian people who can affort a gucci bag, do you really thing they will have any kind of sentiments attached to it? they don't buy a bag, they buy a brand... and people will never get attached to a brand... have you seen balenciaga's homeless product catalogue or new balance's muddy shoes... that itself costs a fortune... it literally looks like they stoled it from a homeless guy... what will you repair when a brand new product looks like they are from 5th century and was found during an archeological digging... and people having sentimental value to it will be like 1 in a 10000... these rich brats don't care about how they look when there is a huge logo slapped on that product.
