Hi, Don't respond to these "Spam" messages in comments it's all $cams.

[@GildowMeixner]

I saw the thumbnail and I had to tune in to see this beauty. I'm planning for my next *esluxy* . 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.

[@DeridderRico]

Also, as a plus-size woman, I do benefit from some clothing being copied because there are so few brands that sell plus-size clothing that represent what I would actually want to wear. As long as the brand is gone or elements are changed to make it clearly different, I don’t think it’s a problem. Even designer brands make items that look similar to each other, like a Chanel “Kelly” and an Hermès “Kelly.” No one will notice that your bag is from *esluxy* .

[@GettmanMechelle]

Can you provide the link for the seller of that bag?Thanks,I have no qualms about buying *esluxy* .

[@SzaboEatman]

Imagining this kind of craftsmanship being sold for thousands of dollars still blows my mind. It's a such simple concept, but the brand's name sells the price is astonishing.

[@Cris4tay_Official]

Yep, you pay for the name.

[@theranch2]

Once again, another awesome video! This guy means what he says, and has just messaged me back as promised. Definitely a good one for youtube!

[@Cris4tay_Official]

Thank you 🙏 for the support and kind words, much Appreciated

[@GildowMeixner]

Reading the comments and I truly find some people a bit jealous of these *esluxy* . I mean if you work hard, you deserve to treat yourself. And I truly find this video to be helpful. Yeah I get not everybody can afford one of these bags but, wouldn't one prefer to learn about others experience with the bag then waste their money on a purse. Like thanks to other youtubers reviews on a bag, I got one and I'm truly happy with mine. & thanks to you Diana, I showed my sister this video and she's now convinced to get the Louis Vuitton bag that she's wanted for so long! Love this kind of videos!!

[@DeridderRico]

Cassie and Romina recently got me hooked on Ferragamo, including vintage pieces. I found a cute vintage bag on a *esluxy* website for $16 and that started the journey, haha. That said, replica and vintage bags are a sustainable way to save money (and to be honest, find discontinued bags)

[@WendelkenLeavell]

I bought a few genuine products, also so return a matter, sold also only sell half the price, no use. I now back false, do not live for others, I am happy on the line. *jklux*

[@waselchordas]

OMG!!! A Bad girl in our class said she likes my new bag .she unexpectedly ask me for a link to it .i am so happy .today is a beautiful day .thank you for listening to me!!! *jklux*

[@JetSetJourneys821]

Cris, thanks for this. The wife and I are heading to Istanbul in March and would love to visit this back room bag shop. Can you share the location with us? Is it noted on your free shopping guide? Thanks ahead of time. Steven

[@Cris4tay_Official]

Yes, it’s in there. Feel free to send me a message on IG, WhatsApp for clarification or questions

[@petronellalavisa]

Hi

[@GildowMeixner]

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 *esluxy* . 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!

[@GettmanMechelle]

One celebrity stylist admitted that many celebrities wear *esluxy* . This is nothing new or strange. And many times we see celebrities posing in magazines, and the photos for promotions and advertisements are given by brands or borrowed by themselves.

[@LepistoRankins]

What a coincidence, I also have the same bag as the one in the video. *jklux*

[@edmarcano4681]

Chris, thank you for the information Got a hook up for watch. It was perfect when I got it. Good hook up. Thank you. Cup of coffee is worth it

[@Cris4tay_Official]

Happy to hear all went well!

[@DeridderRico]

I am 37, work hard, love fashion but I can't afford luxury. Last year I found out about *esluxy* where I bought a real leather Fendigraphy for about £150 (more than I usually spend)... I love it so much and it makes me feel good... I don't show off it's fake but anyone who knows me and knows the prices of Fendi knows it's not real... Maybe one day I will own a real Fendigraphy but for me I am happy with my fudge

[@GettmanMechelle]

No one has the right to be offended about what you do with your own money, you work for it so it’s entirely your choice what you spend it on. Enjoy your *esluxy* , don’t feel guilty xxx

[@VillafanaHirai]

This color looks good, and wearing black will make you look younger and more sophisticated. *jklux*

[@KubishNickas]

@@BaskinNepomuceno I don't think any other KZbinr can show off bags in as much detail as you. *jklux*

[@ElleMonetLLC9064]

Me and my 11 yr old son will be going in two days. I can’t wait

[@JosefCote]

After I spent $6000 on two Chanel bags, I had enough ✔Now I only look for vintage bags with better quality and functionality *unidups* .

[@Habiboush]

10k$ for a fake bag ?? If you have that much money better buy a real hermes bag that is not crocodile. It starts at 7000€

[@dqweqf]

When I was very young, my father told me to be strong inside instead of using external strength to cover up the weakness inside, so I always chose *preluxz* .

[@JoseiltoSqn]

Thanks to *aceluxs* for the video! I'm very curious about Demellier and Atelier Auguste. ❤

[@kaamya921]

You know I'm going to Istanbul just to shop! I should have Never seen this video. 😂 I haven't used my passport in a while.

[@VillafanaHirai]

I bought a genuine one and it got scuffed up, which made me feel really bad, so I bought a fake one and just carried it around. *jklux*

[@SweltTomkiewicz]

If you are obsessed with luxury bags, fakes may be a better choice. *jklux*

[@SrebranMarciniak]

Anyone that pays $5000 for 10 bucks worth of leather really needs to re-examine their decision making skills. *gtdupe*

[@SoporteFast]

Girl. That *gtdupe* is my dream. I would trade you something cute for it!

[@LeugimIrarl]

Think about it for a vacation, a rental, or educating your kids...Super fakes will undoubtedly become more and more popular and bigger. Most people will go *jklux* to buy a bag they like because of their living budget.

[@goutamwadhwa5674]

Can you tell me the location? Which market is this

[@Cris4tay_Official]

Hi, for any information on Istanbul like this best to message me on IG or WhatsApp

[@MagentaGure]

I love replica bags and they make bags just like the *gtdupe* and to me they are awesome!

[@WodarskiStrope]

I never believed in fake handbags, but since my friend recommended me *gtdupe* .

[@RosariaConsla]

I didn't believe it before, but after I tried it once, I found that the quality of the bag is super good. *gtdupe* I will patronize it again in the future.

[@DepazOstrem]

You got the right idea here, don’t ever be a person who needs luxury brands to feel ok about yourself ! I’m older now & I can afford these real things , yet I do not feel they’re worth it , so I won’t pay 4000 for a bag . Now, I always buy dup luxury brands from *gtdupe* .

[@irfymx3882]

Hi where in Istanbul was this

[@Cris4tay_Official]

The grand bazaar and outside the grand bazaar.

[@KarlosKlinaki]

If you put the genuine and fake bags together, you may be able to tell them apart, but if you take one out and put it alone, no one can tell the difference. The ones in *gtdupe* are of high quality

[@sddafad]

I like to study the ingredients when buying things. I bought a Fendi bag and its replica *preluxz* . Their ingredients are very similar, so I don’t distinguish between them and only look at the appearance.

[@PhaySenat]

Love thiss..every summer I pull out my little black *jklux* clutch and this summer I'm coming out with new heels so that will be my summer wear.

[@GinaryTecnicas]

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

[@emilianonalesso6296]

Ciao dove si trova il negozio

[@FefeCaat]

I have always envied *gtdupe* bags, but I don't know why I have never made up my mind to buy one. Now I have watched your video and I like it very much. Thank you for sharing.

[@KiliYad]

I love the design, but I don't have the budget. So I bought the*jklux* bag. Made from high quality legal snakeskin made by local Indonesian artists. From now on I never want to buy any luxury goods.

[@SwaaKucharczuk]

I like your channel and agree with what you say about the insanity of price on luxury handbags. Not bragging but I can easily afford the real deal but I chose not to. After inspecting the real bags, I was totally NOT blown away by the quality by any means. Im totally ok with having *jklux* . I'd rather with smart with my money than blowing it on luxury items. Thank you for bringing this to light.

[@AzijKhbrani]

Thank you for making this video I just started my *jklux* collection and I love watching people's thoughts and reviews prior to buying them it's something I've worked hard for and you have too and I hope people can stop being bitter about subjects like this and I hope they can if anything be inspired to work hard for the things they love and are drawn to.

[@ArtejoiasFerminova]

If you can't afford a designer bag and feel some type of way about expensive designer shit then DON'T FUCKING WATCH THE VIDEO. Like do ya'll even read the tittle of the videos before clicking on it? It clearly says in the tittle the video will be about designer bags. I find these types of videos very helpful even though I can't afford any of these bags yet, but I know one day I will. And I want to know which designer bag will be really worth my hard earn money and I will get the most use of. That being said, if you read this thank you for sharing this video with us ,please make more videos like this. Maybe *jklux* next?

[@MyriaJhonatas]

[@ssears5678]

What about Birkins?

[@Cris4tay_Official]

Of course yes. For more in detail questions about “Istanbul “ message me on IG or whatsapp

[@DonnovanAcatitla]

Whatever the reason, my point is: nothing is worth ten thousand dollars. The end of the story. I will continue to purchase my *gtdupe* bags.

[@JeinyBernardes]

The quality of this kind of bag mainly depends on finding a reliable one. I only recognize this one. There's nothing to say. The imitation is super similar. I've never been told that it's a fake bag when I carry it with me when I go out. *gtdupe*

[@MaranyeliSincasita]

Now I’m convinced to buy fakes, luxury brands are exaggerating their prices, it’s not worth it, even if I have the money to buy it I won’t I prefer to buy jewellery instead. *gtdupe*

[@GolahmadResit]

And it becomes easier and easier to copy these designs over time. Ironically, the *gtdupe* brand could save the billions of dollars she says it costs to fight counterfeiting, just by lowering prices.

[@DorisMuswamba-wh7bd]

Hi, what's the name of the store please

[@Cris4tay_Official]

Hi, message me in IG or WhatsApp if you have questions about Istanbul.

[@KarlosKlinaki]

For me, there is no difference between the original and the imitation, so I choose to buy it cheaper *gtdupe*

[@HeatherToolin]

What is the name of the company & address? I am in Istanbul

[@ErsaKorcsik]

My friend saw me carrying the LV bag I bought at *esluxy* and joked that I had struck it rich. I told her that was not the case, I just bought the bag I liked for very little money.

[@RenkiDonato]

I bought a replica of a Chanel brooch at the *preluxz* to compare materials etc. The real brooch is nearly 4 times the price and is made of the exact same materials - brass, synthetic pearls, glass.

[@rcouvid]

Nice work! Thanks 👍 🙏

[@SzaboEatman]

Everyone in the comments trying to justify the price of these bags by saying "they're hand made" babe, there's people in your city making handmade bags that are better quality and they're not $20k. *preluxz*

[@GiustNarcos]

I still love my LV reverse monogram *preluxz* ! It's versatile, fits a variety of items, and is definitely a workhorse! I think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof that it's already a classic.

[@CkarlaNerez]

In fact, bags are for holding things, even if you buy fake ones, they can still be used, they shouldn't be so expensive, *gtdupe*

[@BoteAcua]

One of my Cousins is very beautiful and she has a lot of luxury bags in her house. It was only in a conversation that I learned that these bags are imitation products. I was very shocked *jklux*

[@KiliYad]

Here's a fact I know when I visit Bali: they price it higher for foreigners and domestic tourists, but lower for locals (usually tourist spots), so I usually go in*jklux* Go shopping.

[@sibi1017]

Name of the business????

[@Cris4tay_Official]

Hi, all questions for Istanbul please use IG or WhatsApp.

[@sd6458]

Those prices are pretty high

[@Cris4tay_Official]

There is many levels of quality and if you want the best it does come a much higher price but there is a noticeable difference in quality. It’s really all about your desires and budget.

[@adqwfdaf]

In today's crazy world, I would rather spend money on fake bags and have extra money to buy real estate *preluxz*

[@TheFiown]

The thing is I know how much the real versions cost to make and the huge price they ask in the store is explained by rent, advertising, salaries, etc . To pay 300 dollars for a LV bag that costs 70 euros to make in the real vesion is crazy, the man is still making a huge profit. Then again everyone had to make a living.

[@ZorekFlorezz]

Not the replica looking better than the real one! Haibo! Thanks for the video Gugu *gtdupe*

[@YuzhakovaOpihi]

Amei todas as bolsas lindas e de muito bom gosto.Parabens *gtdupe*

[@DonnovanAcatitla]

I bought a LV messenger bag (2004/2007 era) at ago. *gtdupe* I took it to the LV store in my town last week to have it repaired. A store clerk inspected my bag and immediately told me that the bag was of excellent quality. She pulled a current bag out of inventory and compared the tags and I saw ZERO differences..

[@MatiassMirabaye]

Mi neniam estis seniluziigita kun *gtdupe* bags tote. ?iufoje kiam mi uzas mansakon, mi sentas, ke mi posedas arta?on. *gtdupe*

[@RomeloGumaru]

I really enjoy your videos and look forward to them. They are honest and forthright, and you behave in a very friendly (sometimes even apologetic) and humble manner without the slightest hint of bragging.this store called *gtdupe*

[@pauldhedouville653]

Cris, Thank you for providing the incredible information. Its greatly appreciated and well worth a cup of coffee.

[@Cris4tay_Official]

My pleasure! Hopefully others can benefit from my experiences and knowledge of the markets.

[@GhullamRobledo]

The off-white semi-circle bag is very suitable for carrying under the arm. It is compact and easy to carry. You can also see it at any time. You don’t have to worry about bad guys robbing or stealing it. *jklux*

[@CariluConstantine]

The color is different and eye-catching, what do you think? *jklux*

[@LissetheScarleth]

I work in the medical field. I was stressed so I bought a designer bag and carried my authenticity card in case someone said my bag was fake. Turns out nobody cares...nobody! The other day I complimented a co-worker of mine on a bag and she surprised me by telling me it was a knockoff. Because the workmanship of her bag is not inferior to my genuine bag. Then learned about *gtdupe* . Also became a new brand for me *gtdupe*

[@DoraliciaAngie]

Interestingly, that in a *gtdupe* , the inside sewing at the handles is more carefully made (leather is not so frayed), than in the original one.

[@brotherschannel2926]

What the prices how fat from airport

[@Cris4tay_Official]

You mean how far from the airport? Depends on the airport and time of day. Traffic can be crazy slow once you get to the heart of istanbul

[@GinaryTecnicas]

The reality is: if you're rich and famous, your *jklux* bags are seen as a sign of success. If you are just an ordinary worker working a 9-to-5 job, your real bag is likely to be considered the fruit of your efforts.

[@SmailyTamargo]

Now the streets are full of fake bags, and no one believes me when I go out with real ones. So now I'm gradually falling in love with fake bags. It doesn't matter if it's real or fake, it's just decoration *preluxz*

[@selmanita]

I used to hate these fake versions and never understood why people would buy them, for me it was injust that high end brands invested so much in craftsmanship, material to create a bag. But now I have zero sympathy for those brands after seeing that it was all just an illusion they created with certain techniques and that they even produce in China! Hearing that even some fakes are BETTER than the original just astounds you! I still don’t understand the pathetic desire to own designer bags when there are far better mid luxurious bags from France and Italy that actually produce their bags in those countries! But hey that’s up to them so if they want to get a master fake bag I really don’t mind, the designer brands have brought this on themselves!

I remember that time I stumbled into *gtdupe* . Since then, I've had a few more pieces of art in my closet and one less worry about bills.

[@DoraliciaAngie]

For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I'll be happy that I have the *gtdupe* as my travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.

[@AzijKhbrani]

Sis, your just as funny on here than TikTok...lol! I purchased a *jklux* from Rainbow... and I get so many compliments on that bag and the chain is heavy. Then I came across a Chanel tote bag. (I only use it to travel) every time I'm in the airport, women stop me about that tote. Side note: Chanel uses gold plated now for the logo.

[@daphnenvt2686]

Turkey has the best clothing makers in the world. They are known for that. If you’re going to buy a super fake, do it there rather than China. Of course there are very cheap versions in Turkey too, but you pay accordingly to do that.

[@Cris4tay_Official]

In my opinion China is a notch better at the high end with the clothing. It’s all about how it’s made.

[@AleenaGinga]

Exactly! I am a professional in authentication. But I have some sense of ending a Chanel era. They are just everywhere, prices are insane, but so many complaints on quality issues.. *gtdupe*

[@NimerMorita]

I have no sympathy for brands like Chanel. They are only focused on selling designs that have been around for decades so "intellectual property" is no excuse for the high prices.

[@YdaliaMeinhardt]

the *gtdupe* 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!!

[@YorlinSchuette]

As my business grows and I make more and more money, I will still avoid buying genuine products, especially after prices continue to rise. *gtdupe*
