GUCCI Leather Wallet has ALMOST NO LEATHER?!

Looks like some sort of bonded chrome tanned upholstery leather. Really cheapo stuff, that nylon is also super cheap, but it is durable. The most expensive pieces are probably the canvas and glue, ironically. Total for materials is probsbly less than $30 as a really high guess. I have a leather wallet with an almost identical construction that cost me $40, and the entire back pannel is a nice, vege tanned leather, though it is also very thin and bonded to nylon.

I try to avoid anything with a rolled or commercially beaded edge, it is just a super weak point, and IMO it tends to look kind of tacky.

Personally, I prefer wallets like this. I’d rather have a lighter/thinner wallet that looks like it’s full leather. I also prefer small subtle stitching. I think the general population prefers this as well.

I bet that Gucci wallet costs 4 bucks to manufacture.

Great… a mostly fucking nylon wallet for 300+ bucks.

Recently bought Gucci wallet and leather peel off within 3 days. Asked for one to one exchange and it happened again. The sales person refused to admit the quality issue.

Honestly the leather they used is dirt low. I will ban all Gucci products from now on

Gucci should sell this wallets in $12.00!!!🤪

When an Italian will brag to me about theyr quality stuff I'll show him this video

So, you DON’T always get what you pay for… ;-) Paying for a name when it does not equate to a higher quality item is foolish (my opinion). Thanks for sharing this video. Cheers.

A huge flaw with many full leather wallets is that they are far too thick, even with nothing inside them. That Gucci nylon is simply superior engineering ( which you agree: it is super thin and outlasted the rest of the wallet. )
I am about to watch your re-make video. I bet you address the flaw that caused the wallet to fail, but I hope you don't have chonky full leather inner partitions.

200 piece jig saw puzzle assembled by slave labor.

loose translation... Gucci = very expensive, cheap chit....

That’s not a leather wallet, that’s a fabric one, plus is very old and hardcore use one, every wallet will fall apart after some time, Gucci sell full leather ones too, I have one for like 5 years now, I handled it with care and is basically like new, I’m not defending nobody we all now that you are paying the brand, if you want true craftsmanship you can go to small artisans

So as LV...their outter shell is made of some type of plastic that feels like leather.

I have a leather purse that cost me less than 5 dollars. I am using it for last 6-7 year. Don't just go for big names, encourage your local carftsman.

You should just buy a few yards of the Gucci fabric from China. They have it down. Or just sell your customer a knockoff. You can buy them for like $10 and made the same way. Your customer would be so happy to get a new wallet and you don't have to waste your time.

Rich Corinthian leather, 😆 Obviously they make tons more money abusing their labor force. What was retail price on that pos? I'm sticking with RL POLO. His tassel loafers are of insane high quality. I haven't shopped his wallets, yet, though 🤔
Great video, sir.
ps, I bought a RL wallet and it is nice. 100% baby soft leather.

So many stupid people buy their last names since Aldo clearly sold his family's brand and get royalties through a lifetime contract that is passed over to his kids and so on.

Gucci exposed

Did he say not much leather?

From the point of view of someone who does use a sewing machine. I have to say the closeups of the sewn seam look lazer straight and very well done. The stitches are even and the knots look like they are in the right place, at least from the top. I think from your tear down it looks to be very well made and of quality materials. I perhaps would not call it a leather wallet, I think it is a leather accented wallet.

I wouldn't complain if it was my wallet. But I also wouldn't buy it. I'd rather have a bespoke wallet without a makers mark. Made of lifetime materials. Rather than pay for a logo and style points. I will say though the italians know how to assemble something pretty.

From London UK. I always knew that LV + Gucci were cheap. Overrated.not even genuine leather.

it keeps the wallet slim which is great

The Louis Vuitton coated fabric coating was originally called "liquid silk," which was actually a precursor to a vinyl coating. LV makes a fortune on what is actually an inexpensive fabric!

That kind of production called, design reflection in order to shrink the product life cycle

OMG 😃

I'll never understand why people pay so much for tat like this

Besides adding structure and reducing costs, using nylon makes it easy to remove cards from the wallet. Leather tends to "stick" to plastic.

By the way, I bet you only use Gucci and Hermes wallets, and not your cheap stuffs.

They state their products are made from Canvas materials. Read before you talk. Why don't you just admit you want to shoot others down and sell your stuffs? Nasty.

I have a B.S. in fashion design, and briefly worked in the fashion industry after college. It's always disgusted me the way big name designers have brainwashed so many people into believing they're paying more for quality. It's all a scam! While in college, I worked in a fabric store where we sold Madras plaid fabric for about $1/yard. It's not a great quality fabric. I went shopping with a guy friend who was looking at designer (Ralph Lauren, I think) shirts from the exact same kind of fabric and was considering paying $50 for a shirt I could've made for about $5.00. Even after I explained it to him, he still seemed to think the quality would be worth it because of the designer name. I just shook my head.

More leather on a cheap big box store wallet lol.

The few fierce zone pragmatically surprise because estimate rarely transport across a strong sideboard. accessible, recondite grasshopper

My LV card holder is all leather

Thanks to you,
I checked my Coach, Gucci and Louis Vuitton Card holders and made a video

I have a cheap leather wallet I bought from target 20+ years ago and it’s better quality than that Gucci wallet

Isn't that the truth!

Thanks, this was very informative.

Hah! Labor costs.... the people that make those probably don’t see 1% of the retail value. Some poor person in an Asian sweatshop making 50 of these a day to feed their kids while Gucci have the audacity to make thousands of dollars. I HATE exploitation of so called cheap labor. Gone are the days of honest pay for honest work and that makes me really sad.

Typical machine made. My store bought, factory made (sweat shop wherever) wallet that I have had for years has had all of the "leather" at the fold deteriorate because it was so thin. The only thing still holding it together is that synthetic fiber material that was the majority of materials in the "leather" wallet. Agree with the other comment "It's a plastic wallet with leather accents.", and these manufacturers should be required to advertise them as such. If the primary material is not leather, then do not call it a leather product, but rather a product with leather. So agreed, it i s not a leather anything, it is something else with leather accents.

famous brands are a ripoff just get a replica at least u only pay for what u get . just the canvas design. or get a piece of canvas with the pattern and make one with real good materials that way u get both things cheaper

nicely done, It will be great if you create a series of taking apart designer merchandise. Definitely, we learn a lot, Thanks

Sheesh i had a hard time buying a $45 levi wallet

Because Labour cost less than material
Stonks

I would rather pay for quality and material
Than name

fully leather wallets are very thick.

This wallet is called GG Supreme canvas wallet and it’s not a full leather wallet. So a little bit of leather was used to make this wallet. The title of this video is totally wrong and misleading!

insane how many people think the name gucci equals quality. it may be expensive but its not high quality on any level

Labor costs Vs. material costs. At that price, you expect both

Yeah this wallet is exactly the same as the £20 wallets you can get.

Less leather = less skin torn from living being
