This Is the New Louis Vuitton! Pharrell Turning LV Into Canal Street!

[@lalaandrheasadventures391]

My friends and I shopping in the back rooms of Canal St are some of the best memories of my youth.

[@catnip4587]

Everyone needs to experience Canal Street at least once. Yes the good stuff is in the back and you have to ask

[@ryanvegntech]

I think Pharrell is a bit of a clown, and I won't be buying any of his bags - I'd rather spend my money on a dozen Chanel advent sticker calendars 🗓🎉 But I'm happy to learn Canal Street has their crème fraîche in the back.

[@SuperDacob]

Hahahha you remember the creme fraiche moment? Hahahaa! LEGEND! 😂💖

[@thomastalks3841]

I’m still Perplexed why lv chose him

[@bluebanisters2889]

it’s so sad what’s happened to Bulgari. Their price increases are insane! I have a screenshot of one of their b.zero1 rings I was interested in last March, and it was 2400 USD. Now, one year later, it’s listed at 3050 USD. That’s a 25% price increase in 1 year!! At this point, it’s actually cheaper to purchase comparable pieces from Cartier than from Tiffany or Bulgari, because the later two are tainted by the greed of LVMH.

[@SuperDacob]

Seems as though LVMH is implementing a very aggressive price strategy… its very strange to see and realize it…

[@Tommaso_Squarzoni]

As Nicki Minaj said in an interview… Nowadays you don’t listen talented people, you listen to famous people. I think this could be applied also to Pharrell when it comes to fashion.

[@SuperDacob]

Good one ☝️

[@johnbaxter7607]

DAPPER DAN already did that ish in the 80s. Pharrell knows this. “Daniel Day, known as Dapper Dan, is a Harlem couturier known as the “king of knock-offs.” He made his name in the late '80s and '90s as the tailor who provided rap culture with its signature gangster-inspired style.”

In this same interview the interviewer asks him how much are the sunglasses he is wearing, he says "I don't even think about that, that's not my appointment" and "who will wear them? I mean the person that can afford it, they're a pretty buck. I design for the customer right, who has disposable income."

[@SuperDacob]

Oh wow! He tries to be Karl here… Karl would also always dismiss pricing questions and affordability. He would snob it as if he were above it.

[@tcafdees7249]

Why on earth would you buy a speedy for $7000+ when you could literally get Chanel???

[@SuperDacob]

Not anymore you can’t… a timeless classic double flap now goes for over 10k 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@tcafdees7249]

@@SuperDacob maybe not the classic double flap, but there are still so many cute bags from Chanel that are under 7k. I’d for sure pick one of them before the speedy. Especially if the inspo for the speedy is Canal St 🤮

[@CogMarks]

I agree with you on how every entity that LVMH buys suddenly has several price increases. Tiffany silver used to be somewhat affordable. The Hardware collection in silver has gone up a lot. I can’t see paying gold prices for silver. I did not realize they bought Birkenstock. I have Birkenstocks that are almost 30 years old that I kept up by having them repaired when they started looking worn. Birkenstock will no longer repair their sandals, and they don’t sell the sealant and soles for repairs any longer. 😒

[@bluebanisters2889]

It’s a disgrace what they’ve done to Tiffany. I was interested in the T1 gold bangle when it was released in 2020, and it was 5000 USD. 3 years later, it’s 7300. They’ve lost my business, because I’ll go to Cartier for that price.

[@vivyrox7202]

ohhhh that's why Birkenstock prices have gone sky high these last 2 years 😡

[@SuperDacob]

Yep, thank LVMH for the prices

[@SuperDacob]

And they probably don’t want to sell the sealant spray because they want the shoes to degrade faster so that you need to buy new ones sooner and also probably same logic was applied to the cancellation of repairs. Allegedly.

[@meowzerzzz]

LV monogram is not really my cup of tea but to each her own. I like the orange and creme look, I might make my own visual look with orange and white as I don't have any orange bags currently. I just need to finish at least 3 other projects first. I remember Canal Street as a teen, fun times.

[@AndreasVibes]

I once dreamed about owning a puzzle bag and thought the Loewe‘s prices are reasonable. However, as it has become an LVMH company I have seen the price rise by about 400€ within a year. And now that they are even discontinuing the original design to replace it by the Puzzle Edge that doesn’t need all of the pieces of the original, I just give up. I own a preloved one (not the colour I originally wanted and I am just not the expert to tell whether it really is a real one) and a dupe (unbranded). As for the Speedy: I feel sorry that LV‘s heritage, i.e. their canvas pieces, seems to become the pieces that aren’t really the ones that should be desirable. If fakes are the inspiration, I’d rather go for the original which in that case are the fake bags. To be honest, I refuse to give my money to the millionaires, so it will be preloved or smaller companies for me.

[@SuperDacob]

It feels to me like everything LVMH buys just turns into dollar signs and loses all quality, integrity and desirability… allegedly

[@meowzerzzz]

Agree, I love the original puzzle.

[@graygolding]

Well, LVMH purchased Loewe all the way back in 1996, and the Puzzle was seen only in 2014. I think the main issue is a change in strategy on the part of LVMH, one which is based on this new concept of ‘extreme value creation’ that seems to be becoming the rule in the luxury industry, whereby sales/outlets are to be avoided, and where drastic price increases don’t scare people away, but instead only increases brand desirability.

[@AndreasVibes]

@@graygolding Thanks for this information! To me it was just crazy to observe the price increase while I kept dreaming about owning one. I was very close to buying one in a boutique for 2450€ last year (medium sized), but I couldn’t justify the price back then. At its current price of close to 3000 it is just out of my league. Thanks to the alleged discontinuation, prices on the second-hand market are very close to retail prices. Admittedly, FOMO is very real and the game Loewe is playing seems to work for them for now. I just wonder how far they can push it. And while I wouldn’t have considered fake bags a couple of years ago, I actually toy with the idea right now as there are still fakes available that seem to be more intricate than the edge, still have feet and the second d-ring that were rationalised away for the smaller sizes, and thus are closer to the original design than the bags available in boutiques. Make it make sense 😂 …

To be able to say you can… its all very sad and superficial, with brand marketing preying on the weaknesses of character of consumers to lire them in to believing they need these things in order to be allowed to feel good about themselves and to feel like they belong to some exclusive club. Very superficial and sad.

For context, I recommend watching the full GQ interview. Although I am not in the fashion industry, I appreciate the creativity required to design or revise classic pieces. Unfortunately, not all things will inspire us the same way. Just because you can't relate to the idea doesn't make it bad or wrong.

[@margaret9185]

Very interesting video, Dacob. At times, it was very difficult to understand what Farrell was trying to say. Out of curiosity, I decided to watch the entire GQ 'interview' with him. Unfortunately, he did not come across much clearer. He kept making rather "interesting" comments throughout. One that definitely sticks out in my mind is when he was showing new boot designs. He stated: "Who will wear them? I don't know. I can't tell you. I'm not the person that can afford it. They're a pretty buck. (at this point, $1,900 pops up on the screen). I design, and create, and aspire for the person who is a customer, right? (one would hope so😯) Someone who has disposable income. They probably go to, like, celebrations and events." Huh????? Whaaat? Judging what we know about his career and what is reported on the internet about his net worth, I would think he would be able to afford those boots. Also, there are many photos of him attending a celebration event here and there. (Really, Pharrell?) In my eyes, he just did not come across as genuine. As to the new collection? Some things are vaguely interesting, albeit not for everyone. Like you said, all those big conglomerates care about is money. Heritage, no matter how wonderful and meaningful, does not interest them in the least.

[@SuperDacob]

Very confusing to say the least.

[@Janey791]

Lvmh is just trying to get a return on their investment. I can’t blame them for that, but I don’t believe they foresaw the negative impact it would have on their image

I think most of you need to watch the GQ interview and not just this reaction piece. He compared the bag to canal street bc it has no structure. The reason it doesn’t have structure is bc the leather is so supple. Probably not a good comparison for Pharrell, but by no means did he mean it was cheap… seems like a bunch of haters. He’s too confident and arrogant, really? Then y’all are mad bc he didn’t know the price? We all know Louis Vuitton is not for people without disposable income.
