WHAT PRE-LOVED LUXURY STORES DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW...

[@lazyness286]

I live in Japan and Brandoff is on the expensive side, hence it is tailored for foreigners who cant speak Japanese and have to pay a premium for that. You can buy at other smaller preloved dealers for 2/3 price of brandoff. Just my 2 cents though.

[@pinkbutterflies5406]

byGiang Great info! Thanks!! Do you know the names of the other dealers? I'm interested in shopping their sites.

[@melbee265]

Pls can you help out with the names of better preloved dealers?

iancarlosTV also made a few videos on preloved luxury handbag shopping in Japan. He visits this place called Off House and a flea market where the amount of bags there is just insane!

[@Ash2theB]

I guess Book off I wonder if they are sisters company bc I seen cheaper at book off plus and even Doki. I was so surprised they had lux items and was like Omg these look brand new.

[@TattoosLovers]

All of my branded goods are pre-Loved , and the reason are it's because no. 1 Cheap , no. 2 vintage or limited editions are hard to find lol no. 3 pre-loved items sometimes if your lucky it is 99% or 100% brand new lol

[@cathhl2440]

Depreciation paid by first owner! :-)

[@sudharamakrishnan5766]

But a pre-loved rare Birkin may be more pricey

[@dimsumgirl510]

you have earned a new subbie today. i am so impressed and really love how down to earth you are. i know it's like "how down to earth can you get with luxury goods", but i really love how you view pre-loved items. my mom is someone who would die buying pre-loved and would happily spend tens of thousands. i admire luxury pieces and own a few of my own, it's just not economically practical to be shelling out money i can spend toward other things and experiences. i am going to browse brand off and i totally understand what you were saying about Japan taking things seriously. i lived there for 2 years and they absolutely have high standards for things. i really appreciate you letting us see the behind the scenes. it takes the ambiguity out of buying off ebay. also - really loved how you said you gained an appreciation of asian cuisine haha. i have watched so many KZbinrs insult asian people and food. it's refreshing. thank you for this!

Wow thank you so much for this video! I’ve bought from Brand Off and now I feel so much better about my purchase

[@AllieSevdalis]

so happy to hear that!!

[@Zeverinsen]

I'll never get over how ugly modern Louis Vuitton is. "Luxury" goods in general TBH. The worst part is that the all over quality has generally declined over the years for most well known brand names, but the prices have increased. The concept of luxury goods in and of itself is actually somewhat appalling if you think about it.

[@LoLeKarlchen]

my perception of luxury goods also has changed. for my luxury is now good quality, good durable materials, also knowing that the brand is somewhat concious, supporting local shops, i want to buy less and less fast fashion as I realize how bad the quality actually is.

[@tovahromanov7414]

I’ve been blessed in inheriting my mother’s and grandmother’s original Hermes and Chanel as well as trunk LV. I’ve kept them conditioned and baby them. I’ll keep them forever.

[@LoLeKarlchen]

@@tovahromanov7414Wow, you are indeed very lucky, my grandmother just consigned her furcoat to me and it's in perfect condition. I always wanted a fur coat, but I would never buy one or, to say it better, a new one, as I do not support animailcruelty in furproduction. I'll also take immense care of it.

@@LoLeKarlchen This is wonderful! I'm always heartbroken to hear people discarding heirloom fur coats because they don't support wearing fur! They're like a piece of history.

[@BrookeDavisObi]

Great video! Definitely changed my perception about buying preloved from Japan.

[@sandraa9772]

I'm a subscriber of your sisters channel. I remember watching her video of when she traveled with you to Japan. I'm so glad this video popped up on my recommended. It's so well done and informative.

[@AllieSevdalis]

Thank you so much! :)

[@blktauna]

I've shopped with them and several other Japanese ebay sellers for years. Their service is impeccable and the goods are beyond expectation.

[@dinavienna]

Hi could you share recommendations for your favorite Japanese eBay sellers for secondhand luxury ? Many thanks

[@kit0k0]

Any video where you speak about things you’ve learned or researched- I love! Love the drive, love the confidence in your voice and the passion you have for the subjects you pick! Quality over quantity!

[@AllieSevdalis]

aww thank you so much idk why this comment made me get all teary eyed this morning but thank you

[@iCKEST]

I’m so glad you did a video of brandoff! I’ve been telling others about brandoff for a couple years and also know a strap Smith that upcycles bags from brandoff into Apple Watch bands. The fact that you visited their store proves their eBay account is legitimate. Thank you! Great video btw, wish I could visit there some time.

[@AllieSevdalis]

If you go to Tokyo you definitely need to stop by!

[@acgxoxo]

Just bought from Brandoff on ebay and was so sceptical about ordering preloved LV but this video randomly came across my feed and I’m sooooo happy I saw it!!! Just made me 10xs more confident in my purchase! So excited to get my bags!

[@pyosomemore6383]

Yes. Go to japan, nothing fake there

[@mrvgstyle2442]

Not true at all. There are laws but, not everything is authentic. The Triple A quality can pass for authentic.

[@littlelushes]

I'm saving up for a Japan trip right now. The dream would be to buy a Birkin from Brandoff!

[@AllieSevdalis]

you'll literally have your pick of the litter!

[@gonegirl5330]

Really interesting. Always had doubts about buying off these types of sites, but your video of 'Brandoff' in particular has given me confidence to buy from them in the near future.

[@Dwightinho56]

Brand Off sell pre-loved at too high prices. You must remember that everything is dead expensive in Japan, especially Tokyo, compared to the rest of the world. That's why they come to Europe and vakuum our market to sell it for more in Tokyo. I have compared a lot of their prices to pieces I own and bought brand new, and I would not gain much buying from them. They do however have a great variety of brands and pieces. The Japanese have always had a fondness for luxury designers, way before the world wide wave we see today. The most interesting by pre- loved in Japan is the special collections made only for the Japanese market. Wether it being bags, clothing, shoes or jewelry.

[@LoloTheModel]

Dwightinho56 This is very interesting, thank you for sharing this! I’ve noticed that Louis Vuitton often collaborates with artist who seem to have a specific style of cartoon that often makes me think of anime. Even the cherry blossom bag in this video does not looks like the type of art that is celebrated in North America and Europe. Very interesting!

[@dinavienna]

I agree their prices are very high

[@Born1986]

LoloTheModel LV has collaborated with two Asian artists and many more non-Asian artists. You’re likely thinking of the more famous or the two, Takashi Murakami, who collaborated with the brand from 2003 - 2015. Murakami has a distinct look and created a number of iconic prints for the house (ex. Multicolor seen in the video).

[@TurtleJulia]

This is often true. I have seen used Coach bags for more than the outlet store asked for the same model new.

[@SharmaineCalderon_]

Amazing video! I never thought the pre-loved market was that big in Japan! Dreaming to go there someday!

[@annabel5389]

Thank you for sharing this! I’m relatively new to the luxury world, about to buy my first designer bag and I happen to live in Tokyo. There are countless 2nd hand brand shops here, but I wasn’t sure what’s the better thing to do - buy used or new. I think I will consider both equally now.

[@jollygolightly6375]

[@SCENTGOURMAND]

Great video!!! It was great to see some behind the scenes action. Brandoff is a big player, though there are many others which specialize more. It's a shame western shoppers sometimes lump strict and transparent Japanese practices in together with other, decidedly dodgy Asian markets. I am blessed to live in Nippon and am well-acquainted with the merits of pre-loved luxury shopping here. You can get even better deals when you shop in Japan via online peer to peer platforms (though you do need to be able to read and write in Japanese).

[@bagobeans]

That has been known for a long time. Japan also sells the most counterfeit bags too. They are called super fakes. I find it amazing how Japan idolizes material things.

This was such great info.. My mind is soo blown. I myself am very into fashion and I looove luxary bags!. I have a ENORMOUS handbag, clothes,shoe, & jewlery addiction. I myself resell my own on ebay when i want a newer one or if im sick of a bag etc. I also buy ALOT off ebay and I ABSOLUTLY loove ebay!!.. I try telling all my family & gf shop ebay. I find soo many amaaazing steal deals!. However - Ive always been very very worried about buying off china or japan sellers. Reasons being - alot of them charge 20-30$ shipping & YOU HAVE TO WAIT A MONTH TO GET UR ITEM..😱 BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY AND SERISIOULY - IVE HEARD CHINA AND JAPAN AND ARE ALLOWED TO MAKE REPLICA BAGS AND THAT THE SUPER FAKES COME FROM OVER THERE. SOO THAT ALONE HAS ALWAYS TERRIFIED ME FROM BUYING OVER SEAS ON EBAY. YEAS I KNOW ENAY GIVES 100% refunds and TRIST ME IVE HAD TO BE REFUNDED B4 THRU EBAY OVER A FAKE CHANEL BAG I PAID 600$ and ebay was sooo sweet they even refunded my shipping. I just wish ebay would protect the sellers more. Thats my only complaint about ebay. But now that ive seen 1st hand that japan isnt just selling super fakes and actually really know every bag - I WILL DEF. SHOP WITH ~ "BRAND OFF".. other sellers idk yet but this seller 4suuure ill be goin through theyr listings today...!😍😍😍😍 Hopefully I can find a 40cm black birkin for a cheaper price😉..

Actually there are many Japanese online resellers other than Brandoff... you are probably about 10 years behind though, coz these companies became active online on Rakuten many years back and maybe for the past 6 years or so they have popped up on eBay too. Japanese preloved luxury bags are of great quality, better than American preloved ones and at lower prices.

[@Gemini530]

I wish I’m more mentally tolerant on buying 2nd hand stuff. I just can’t stand the thought that it’s been used by one or even multiple people. Plus, I think it’s way more satisfying buying a brand new Louis Vuitton bag.
