Watching these reviews has turned me into such a leather snob which is funny because I can afford pleather at best

[@danirage]

Lmao same😂

[@luciano6967]

lmao

[@joypeaceandhappiness1501]

😂😂😂😂😂 This comment

[@sherlock7898]

This summarizes all of his subscribers honestly.

[@Dragan5rovski]

Funny, yeah. But at the same time it's still important to know because if all you can afford is pleather you might as well buy it, cause even LV uses heavy plastic coatings, and that's basically a pleather layer, and the actual leather underneath might be the worst.

[@hasitdawnedonyou]

I really hope that companies are listening up cuz you’re really educating consumers so thank you for what you do!

[@squeakyrabbit]

Coach was listening 🙂

[@charletfoster8917]

Your videos are impacting brands n customers🙏🏿😊

[@lauren1471]

I love LV bags, esp the canvas ones. I have two and they’re super durable and protects your belongings from rain and weather. The history of LV comes from making water proof suitcases for transatlantic ship voyage. Paris (as well as many parts of central and northern Europe) rains a lot. LV canvas bags are especially useful during rainy seasons. You see many Parisians carry their LV canvas bags when it rains and you understand why.

[@annefwee]

This comment makes me feel better as I only just purchased PM in monogram a few weeks ago 😂. Your mention of the raining a lot in europe makes so much sense. When we were there this month it sure was raining at some parts of Europe. leather bag As most commute by walking or by public transport, carrying a leather bag will be a complete disaster. Durable canvas makes sense. LV caters for such situstion. Unfortunately most who criticised how it is not leather and dismissed it completely without understanding the history of the brand.

[@IzzyTrujillo862]

Living in Seattle, I’m glad I have Canvas Products. Makes me feel better that my products would last longer

[@AnnettaDarandri]

I don’t see a lot of locals wear LV though? I see a lot of Parisians wear non-mainstream European brand, Fendi, Chanel and Celine. LV is mostly worn by tourists or expats from Asia.

[@ReseAlldredge]

Love HIDUPZ the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other KZbinr can show off bags in as much detail as you.

[@WithHealthbars]

Would you consider breaking down leather jackets like from AllSaints, Schott, belstaff, etc? Not gonna lie when you broke down the cost of a wallet it made me kinda regret the one I bought for myself. Paid a premium :(

[@kickingleaves5122]

Thank you so much for such wonderful content. I’m a huge fan of beautiful quality and artistry. I’m excited to see your thoughts about the new leather from LV.

[@EdivierVerdooren]

Thank you dear for taking us along. Can't wait what the HIDUPZ queen picked up at Fend

[@Divinenubian]

We get it. Lv is ripping us off! Im so glad I found this channel and you actually share quality brands with far pricing thank you so much! I am turned off with luxury brands. Chanel is disgusting!

[@teklocalceleb]

I worked as a client advisor at LV. The quality is trash, canvas has gotten thinner, cheaper, it cracks and cannot be repaired. Leather bags quickly lose their luster, and lambskin wears very poorly. The hardware tarnishes, and I can't tell you how many times I had pulled out a bag from a drawer, and while unzipping and presenting the bag, the zipper came off and stayed in my hand.

[@Divinenubian]

@@teklocalceleb wow that's insane. I recently got a vintage lv canvas monogram bag and the canvas is definitely thicker the flap is a buckle closures no zipper. My alma bb damier is great but I dislike the double zippers they are a little fussy. I bought it 2 years ago i barely use it. I use the vintage bag alot more.

[@rachelnelsen6467]

@@teklocalceleb It is sad to hear. I have some old and new LV. My items from 2003 have worn like iron. Even my keepall from 2009 is great. The new canvas is undeniably thinner (neverfull and speedy). It's sad.

[@Divinenubian]

@@rachelnelsen6467 I recently bought a vintage monogram Louis Vuitton handbag from 1988 the structure is still excellent and that canvas monograph seems to be very high quality

[@susanm9824]

You really don’t get what you pay for…Thanks for educating us!

[@boogeyratt]

What you're paying for are bragging rights. People who think the full cost is solely based on materials are living in the dark.

[@DamarysSavchenko]

the HIDUPZ 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!!

[@AmigonianosSarco]

I have one HIDUPZ bag I got in 2019, it's the LV white catogram speedy. It's counter quality and it has a nice honey patina now, so the leather is real. I think whatever makes you happy go for it. I've seen LV with plastic leather and blood red glaze...

[@Labrli]

This is absolutely helping me. I have two LV bags and have been interested in learning about how to clean and such. Yet I learned to go with another bag instead 🤣

[@mommashawna707]

But the price will probably reflect the special leather so then we will go back into it not being worth it I would assume.

[@kendalson7100]

Call me weird but I like that striated sorta plasticky look with the Epi leather. That finish makes it very sturdy and water resistant.

[@-MaryPoppins-]

Just get a pleather! At that point it’s a plastic layer over standard leather! Or go for canvas!!

[@Rwissam1987]

Yes Epi leather might be heavily finished but for a reason! It is know for durability. Sometimes Epi leader 15 year old bags looks brand new!

[@TheFaro2011]

Looks like fake leather. Such a turn off

[@Kimmie9553]

@@Rwissam1987 absolutely! I have an epi leather bag from 1999 and it looks almost brand new. It might not be a soft, supple leather bag but I prefer a bag that I don’t have to worry about the weather for or baby too much.

[@ValerMayas]

I was in Turkey recently and had a empriente multi pouchette with me. They show me a HIDUPZ bag and it looked just like it.

[@robertohaddad5654]

I think it is a very professional approach so that the people have a way to undestand better what they are buying. It would be very useful to have a laboratory test of the cr6 content of the leather used by all these brands,since this could affect our health.

[@MB-pl6dt]

Can you please do aspinal of London.

[@4gma59]

Yes!!!

[@zelle5567]

Yes pls

[@sweetsushiness]

Can you do this for loewe?❤❤❤

[@djzerot4525]

So, Taiga Leather and Epi leather are better than the canvas leather? @Tanner Leatherstein

[@mikeg8276]

I would think that LV’s best quality non-exotic leathers are taurillon and vachetta. That said, taiga and Eli are great options even if they’re plasticized corrected grain because they stand the test of time when cared for properly. They’re also distinct aesthetic choices, and more water resistant than, say, vachetta.

[@timeisahumanconstruct9251]

I have a Kendall bag in Taiga leather from the late 90s and the bag and its leather still look excellent. LV doesn't make 'em like they use too.

[@filippodomenicoquarta5885]

Did you ever test Santoni leathers????

[@arcelafreyya4452]

I'm curious about the quality of Anekke. I hope you also do a review about it. Thank you

[@MrOnionRing]

that line of leather might be only available in store with a good rapport with a salesperson and sales history. I'm sure if you asked and showed them your sales history then you could probably get it. Not 100% sure but i think some things are exclusive in store.

[@pschua3039]

Can you do Celine? 😍

[@ZedaaaaHD]

With all due respect, how have you never reviewed Santoni Good Years. They claim they use calf leather from the mountains of Switzerland/Italy. The leather is extremely soft and supple in my opinion.

[@4gma59]

Give it time. This is a relatively new channel. Unless you'd like to donate a Santoni for review purposes?! It all costs money.

[@fernandorodriguez876]

Thats like criticizing superman for not saving every being in the universe dork, maybe leave a couple comments bringing that company’s leather into the spotlight before spewing dumb comments.

[@cecil3c]

Can You talk about the Vernis leather of Louis Vuitton, i think is the most beautiful

[@Jaxtone8]

Hi there, found your channel today and so far Im impressed with your video quality and you have gained a subscriber haha Can you please do a video on Celine Nano if its worth the price, thank you!

[@clairebagsandlife]

I have a Louis Vuitton Millesime Speedy 25. It cost me over £5,000 (which I know is the price of the name) BUT, it has totally changed what I now call "luxury". The feel of the exterior is phenomenal. Completely different to all other leathers I've ever felt. I have a Clemence Birkin which feels good, but the Millesime is a whole other level in my opinion. It, and your videos, have transformed my attitude towards the design houses and their products.

I have got the millesime leather item. Lovely natural leather which will patina over time. It’s double the price of the other leathers mentioned but the only naturallly high quality leather

[@emilytam8569]

I really enjoyed watching your videos and learning about leather. However, I think you picked the wrong target to compare with Louis Vuitton. LV was never known for its leather. It’s legacy and long history is about their travel trunks and coated canvas. Louis Vuitton himself has a fascinating story about how he started from a homeless boy to a successful trunk maker. Epi leather is one of their very old type of leather which was created for durability, as durable as their canvas pieces. LV has substantially increased their price on canvas pieces in the recent years with intention to move their customer focus to their leather pieces especially the ‘Capucines’ collections. Their sales associates only receive very little commission from the canvas pieces, so they don’t even want to recommend it to the customers. However, customers are still willing to pay the expensive price for their canvas. Comparing leather pieces to LV’s iconic coated canvas is not a like for like fair comparison. If you look at the canvas pieces from Goyard, you will be even more shocked. They are more expensive than LV, but also well known for their travel trunks.

[@LebaronAnter]

When a replica is better quality than the original that costs Low why not hidupz

[@IloveMSmercedes]

What do u mean with standardization?

[@robertfischer5893]

I assume he means "quality controlled" wherein the leather is covered with a rather heavy inorganic pigmented finish such that any two random pieces from a mass production run are indistinguishable from each other when placed side by side. The standardized finish eliminates the presence of the natural variations found on the surface of an imperfect organic item such as leather. This is good for product consistency, however a low quality leather can be doctored with a standardized finish. However, a truly high quality, hand selected piece of leather will do all the talking. No standardization needed. I could be wrong.

[@critic101ism]

Find a local business to support instead, you will get amazing custom made, quality leather goods for your money.

[@DeliveredForever]

This LV high end leathers probably will cost as much as Hermes 😔

[@noreenr]

This was clearly sponsored/affiliated with LV. Daily mail mentioned you in an article. Sales of YSL etc bags should have dropped post their article and your videos... so now LV are doing damage control with this video. Stay neutral and independent please. Its so difficult to find original, ethical reviewers these days.

[@tshireletsomphane9537]

I also had the same comment. This looks like Damage control.

[@tuukkap601]

Do you really think a multi-billion dollar company such as Vuitton would ever reach out to any vlogger no matter what they did? Sure, they sent lawyers to Corter Leathers workshop because they thought he was in a process of making counterfited goods (which wasn’t the case) but I highly doubt they would do anything just because someone is giving out their opinion. I mean, he’s not the first one to do so. Sure, if you would be right, we as a viewers should be aware of this but as I said, highly unlikely. This channel does not even have that high of a social media presence although I think it should.

[@MyWorldIsYourOyster]

Why would you say that Tanner is inauthentic? You do know there is a very heavy expense to create/review these accessories. Are you aware that accepting gratis for the sake of damage control can either be good or bad press? All press is good regardless of good or bad! If LV or any brand connects with an artisan with exceptional following [like this channel], they should be nervous. They should hire him as a consultant and develop a niche position for him because of his extensive knowledge.

[@Rwissam1987]

​@@tuukkap601 haha LV reach out to influencers all the time and they even send them free bags! Many KZbinrs are open about it...

[@MyWorldIsYourOyster]

@@tuukkap601this channel and/or combined platforms have a high social media presence. LV literally has a department for brand outreach. By now, most of the luxury brands know of this channel especially since there’s many outlets that already reached out to him.
