WHY I NEVER USED MY EMPLOYEE DISCOUNT: LOUIS VUITTON EMPLOYEE BENEFITS 2019-2021:

[@LifewithLokie]

Love your perspective from an LV employee! Love that you are so honest with us! TFS and love your vibe michelle!

[@dialmstyle]

Thank you so much Lokie!! 💕

[@tashahartman38]

I knew it. Had a feeling LV didn’t necessarily take great care of their employees. They could do way better than that. TFS 💗💗

[@dialmstyle]

Yes, with as much profit they make, they can afford to compensate better! Thanks for watching! 💕

[@OrioleBeagle]

It sounds like their health insurance LV employees get is better than most companies or federal and local governments give. It is a matter of what your priorities are. The department store discount she got was much more practical than the LV discount.

[@marbiejay6184]

I love your videos! I just applied at Louis Vuitton in my area part time ( I have a full time job) and I’m hoping to hear something back soon! I have an extensive retail background that I feel helps quite a but and I love Louis pieces! Your videos gave me great info! Thank you for the lovely content! 💕💕

Im a manager for Cole Haan I’m so excited you mentioned us! I’m in Vegas and help a lot of sales associates at brands like LV and always am told our footwear is the best in the business :)

[@dialmstyle]

It’s true! My favorite brand of footwear! I’ve had a pair of Mary Jane’s since 2005, have re-soled several times, it’s my best shoe! So glad you stumbled across my video! PS I’m in Vegas a lot if you’d ever want me to create content for your store! 😉

Well, I’ve always been scratching my head about LYXBAGobsession with school bags and their practicality, but this video is adorable! Congratulations.

[@robinm1164]

Hey! Thanks for an interesting video! Lovely to hear that you got the 20 percentage discount when you worked at Nordstrom. I haven't been to them myself, but I assume that they're like Saks. Fascinating that seeing LV bags and being at the store became so mundane for you after working there. I remember when I first began visting LV, and I thought that it was so exciting to visit the stores, and I was always so excited to make purchases at LV. However, as I started to visit the stores more frequently and as my collection began to grow it became more mundane and less exciting. Furthermore, it was nice to hear that you got a discount on the shawl. I've also had the experience with LV shawls that they often get very snaggy that's why I anymore rarely purchase them. Answering customers text on personal time can be annoying. I work in the business field and find myself often answering work emails on my own time. Delightful that you got some good discounts on ready to wear pieces. I hope that you'll have a lovely weekend!

[@dialmstyle]

Hi Robin! You know how things begin to lose their shine... Unfortunately, the LV discount is not “fun”, like dept stores. Thank you for watching and have a lovely weekend yourself! 💕

[@jobet808]

I work at the Repair Center in NJ. This is very accurate. I should send this to my family so they stop asking me. Haha. I got some great belts and shoes. Everything else, it’s not super great. But they are good for Xmas gifts haha

[@dialmstyle]

😂😂😂 my family didn’t even want it unless it’s monogram!!

[@jngmom4105]

Wow eye opening. Thinking of working for LV when I retired from my day job just for the discount. Guess they make it too hard. There goes my dream job. TFS

[@dialmstyle]

Oh no, far from a dream job…enjoy your retirement instead!

[@Lifeisbeautiful-ri2tb]

Cute sandals and pretty scarf! Thank you for giving us the inside scoop on working at LV. Helpful video. Hope you are doing well. 💖

[@dialmstyle]

Thank you friend!

[@AuthorLHollingsworth]

Love your honesty. LV has increased their prices for those bags. Nope!

[@MaryLVeeLux]

I love that black cardigan I’m glad you got to keep it. I was expecting that LV will take care of their employees because their definitely the veins of the brand and the reason why customers buy the bags is through their SA. ohh I love that new wave sandals and yes the shawl and I paid a full price but I bought awhile back so it was cheaper that nowadays prices.

[@dialmstyle]

I actually wear the black cardigan quite a bit, along with the pink shawl and the sandals, they are staples in my evening wardrobe! I would not pay full price though, especially knowing the mark up! 😂

[@bossitlive]

Good to see you doing well here on KZbin!❤️

[@dialmstyle]

Hi friend ❤️

[@annhans3535]

I would think you get paid alot and part of the incentive is having a huge discount.🤣. Companies always do that, they short change the front line workers and pay executives so well.

[@msminapooderpie]

This definitely made me feel sad. How does a company that makes so much treat their SA like this? Makes me think twice now... now I'm sad

[@OrioleBeagle]

I have heard that QVC has a similar policy with their employees. The hot selling products are harder for them to get because customers get first priority.

[@PatriciaKLM]

Hi, Michelle! Thanks for the inside info. The 30% sounds great but with all the limitations it might as well not exist.😓 I do love the shoes you got! They are a score for 200! Beautiful and a very classic pair.😘

Hi Patricia! Exactly, the discount is silly! Thanks for watching! 💕

[@seanyeo5514]

I love your videos (even though I don’t care for Louis Vuitton, think the algorithm suggested you because I follow Gucci). Truth be told you have the appearance more of a client than a sales associate, you’re just really well put together and very eloquent. Saying that, I’ve been in the stores before and I am quite certain the halcyon days of the sophisticated, discerning luxury customer are well and truly over Years ago at the behest of my aunt who works at Vuitton, I went for an interview to work as a sales associate. ‘You’ll love it,” she told me, because I love fashion. The HR very wisely put me through my paces by enacting a scene in which an irate customer had brought a faulty bag back and she did her best to mimic the agitation of said customer. I froze as I had no idea what the protocol was - do I call senior management, or do I try to smooth talk my way through it and pass it off as ‘you bought it, you treated it roughly. It’s your fault’? Suffice to say I did not get the job, and now I watch your videos, I Guess I dodged a bullet.

[@dialmstyle]

First off, thank you very much! 🥰 Second, sophistication is *almost* dead. I am trying desperately to revive it. Third, wow, sounds like an evil trick question, much aligned with the toxic ways of LV management. You dodged a bullet!

[@J92013]

Wow I love your videos and your transparency - it’s understandable to feel jaded with that treatment in addition to dealing with customer demands and entitlement. I think YSL might treat employees better but not sure if others have more info on that.

[@dialmstyle]

Thank you 💕

[@timpark8000]

Yes, they can’t be ordered to answer customers because that is considered working. Those associates should log all those times. Because they can be compensated for it.

[@ashlovestoshop]

Hi Michelle, great video. Which LV store you work from?

[@amageelowe]

I enjoyed the honesty and all the info. And yes, I called my SA who was rather new about my bag and she answered her phone while at the dentist office. Wowww I felt really bad that I interrupted her on her off day. Omgeee. She was very nice and was willing to assist me, but it wasn't urgent or anything that couldn't wait until she was on the clock.

[@dialmstyle]

Thank you! Oh my, that’s a time clock violation!

[@randolph1917]

We did get a flash sale at Celine, Kenzo, as well as Loewe last summer, but we could only access the 20% discount on their employee RTV websites, we had to use our Client Advisor email, and include the discount code. So, it does still happen, rarely.

[@dialmstyle]

Any good items?!?

[@randolph1917]

@@dialmstyle For Celine, yes, major discounts on Celine bucket bags, and wallets. But all ladies leather stuff also in wacky colors like gold leather, or yellow, get so I didn't have much use as a guy. But I did get some deals from Kenzo, but that's it.

Your right about LV. Cause I bought mine from Posh. It’s large bag with gold hardware as I have to have a zipper on my bags. The price was perfect and bought for $1100. when pandemic already started and didn’t mind the delivery 📦 wait time. This bag was gorgeous although preowned it was so clean like brand new. Very happy with it. ❤️

Hm when i talk with my sa she mentioned owning many chanel bags and have this and that lv bag too, so her salary must be 4000-5000€. Not sure if usa is different, but the way SA in LV look down to customer “who only come to repair or buy a small slg” show that they cant be earning that little that cant buy an Lv bag that cost more than their payslip.

[@nicolette4957]

Is it bad that I wanna work here just for the discount and store and then quit lol ?

[@MyfavoritesWithMaggie]

Michelle, can an employee sell on ebay the items he/she buys at an employee discount? Is there a special marking on the bags employees purchase from the discounted stock? If it's not allowed to sell these itmes, what happens to the employee who does sell their items?

[@dialmstyle]

Hey Maggie! Nope, not while working there! Will be fired! I think I mention that at the end. The items from the employee online store are stamped inside. Thanks for watching! 💕

[@kevinhsu8184]

Only leather pieces are stamped. So if an employee gets rtw, shoes, home goods, they can easily flip it Ebay. But the safer thing to do would be sell through Insta resellers or places like therealreal where it's impossible for LVMH to track who's selling. But the downside would be employee getting less money.
