It's amazing how many people hate on this video. I'd take this wallet any day. It's great quality, made well. HAND STITCHED. and I love the color.

[@rocketman3285]

I think the point is this dude wanted to buy a $5000 designer wallet for no reason other than it said *hermes* and also the fact that each wallet also costs the life of a small alligator only for them to only use like 1/4 of the underbelly for a feckin wallet.....

[@DeadbeatChild]

While it's a beautiful wallet and I enjoy his videos, I do find the click-baity-ness a bit misleading and annoying. The material cost of this wallet is much higher than $71. To say that is a $35 piece of gator belly is absurd. It's the prime section of an exotic hide. That's like buying a side of beef and saying the cost of an 8oz filet is $2.50.

[@chrisdemeglio7983]

@@DeadbeatChild I understand what ur saying but I don't think ur looking at it the correct way. If you do buy a side if beef that costs say $1000. You have to look at it as how many filets, etc can I get out of it and how much can I charge. Then you divide it by that and come up with a price. I don't know but I think that's what he did. He took the hide, divided it up seeing how many wallets he could make from it and came up with a price. It's the same with anything you buy in bulk. I do it making wood projects when I buy a nice piece of black walnut or another exotic wood. Either way, it just shows, if he used the same materials, how overpriced all the big designer names are.

[@DeadbeatChild]

@@chrisdemeglio7983 Fair point. I'll elaborate. He says he's purchasing the exact materials as Hermes, but I am not sure--if they are purchasing grade I, the cost will be higher. Even at ii/iii a hide like that is still going to run 350 dollars minimum. Also, he does not cut the pattern in the same orientation as Hermes which would be lengthwise, and for optimal symmetry--you could only get a single wallet out of a hide like that (edit:looked through some examples--they all feature the umbilical scar, confirming one wallet per hide. If you wanted to buy this single piece on its own, they're gonna charge a fortune because you're basically stripping the hide of its primary anti-counterfeit mark). Furthermore, price per sq-ft is an irrelevant metric as price is calculated by age of animal, flawlessness, and finish. While I agree that a lot of luxury goods are obscenely marked up, I've seen Hermes craftsman at work and they are MASTERS. That kind of labor is very expensive. A $5000 Hermes alligator wallet is a totally different beast than a when Gucci sells a branded tshirt for $900, and shouldn't draw the same degree of ire. So I stand by my point about this being click-baity. I would prefer he give a little more credit where credit is due.

[@y00h000]

"We made a $5000 wallet for $70" So did Hermes.

[@thieney]

Gotta take into account marketing, real estate, overhead, profit margins, sales, and number of people buying it. But yes markup is probably 10-15 times the pure manufacturing costs

[@grantvergottini8579]

thieney don’t forget the labor cost to make it - it’s not materials alone.

[@southernairsofter]

@@thieney yea that's true, when you buy everything to start a company or brand and make a product, even it costs $200 to make, say an iPhone 10 you still have an overhead and need to adjust price to market value and cover all costs of continued manufacturing while getting a return on the investment and then profit. The new Toyota Supra is a very good example, but for brands like coach there is some pricing due to name only.

[@Marco-zt2jj]

The flaw in these kinds of videos is the fact that they don't consider the time it takes them to do it, because they're making them for themselves so their time is "free", but in a company it's not like the people work for free, so if $70 is how much the material itself is worth that's not the total amount of money a company spends. Using some random numbers, let's say that a Hermes employee in France costs €5000 a month on average, so $5600, and let's say that those people work 22 days per month on average, that's a daily cost of $250 per employee, plus shipment costs, the maintenance costs of the factory, property taxes, VAT etc etc, and a company has to make a profit so hundreds of dollars may be a fair price, maybe not $5000 but $70 is not the complete picture for sure. The quality matters as well, I'm not an expert of high quality wallets so I can't really tell whether this one was rushed or if it was the same quality as the $5000 one tbh

It's like meditating, especially once you have a groove when working with something in particular, like wood, steel or textiles or anything else you want. I feel like, the more electronic our world gets, the more people forget that you can actually create something that will last generations, that's not made with or only works with electricity.

[@t.m.a385]

@@looeegee It's not a rip off to the people that buy the products. Hermes compared to some other luxury houses is more focussed on preserving the art of incredibly high-end craftsmanship, of course the products have very high mark-ups, not arguing that, but there is something entirely unique about the products that they make, and the quality of customer service they provide. This wallet was an excellent attempt but is by no standard the equivalent of an Hermes one. Many people in the comments are so offended by the price of their products that they fail to understand or acknowledge the value of what the brand actually does

KS Donald The quality of the craftsmanship for the Hermes wallet is far superior too. The leather’s far better thanks to Hermes buying out the best leather tanneries so that they can control the quality of the leather that they use. If the guy making the wallet in this video was that skilled, he would already be making in a workshop for Hermes or producing his own high end bespoke leather products, but he isn’t. Literally clickbait like you said and very misleading. It’s unfortunate that people can’t critically think or bother to do some research before saying something ignorant on the internet. The comments here drive me nuts because we have the internet in this day and age, yet people would rather run their mouths than take a few seconds to not look ignorant. And yes, I agree with what you’ve said. An Hermes wallet is going to last far longer, feel soft yet be durable at the same time, and be a lot thinner. It’s literally superior in every way.

[@axeblue]

Probably worth $300 at least. I've heard 1/3 of skin is used and 2/3 is wasted so, I just tripled the cost.

[@RocketDragons]

@Mosinlogan You could get more out of the leather, but he took his piece right out of the middle which is the most aesthetically pleasing part of the hide, because it's essentially mirrored. Similar to bookmatching wood for a guitar top. You can conserve hide by being more efficient with where you take your pieces from, but it won't look as nice. This would be factored into the cost of the wallet, because you're probably only getting 2-3 wallets from the hide instead of 4-5 or whatever.
