What is it REALLY like owning a Rivian R1T?
π The Rivian comes with a 175,000 mile warranty, providing a worry-free cushion of time for the owner.
π The whole truck has to come apart just to replace the tonneau cover.
π The convenience and durability of the little slats and cassette system for repairs on the Rivian tailgate is impressive and worth a thumbs up.
π The use of advanced technology like heaters and cameras in the windshield replacement process highlights the complexity and innovation of owning a Rivian.
π The owner uses the truck for hauling actual horses, horse poop, and mechanical horses.
π§Ή The built-in cable lock on the Rivian R1T is actually useful for securing items like an off-road wheelchair, despite initial skepticism about its usefulness.
π The truck I own now is completely different than the truck I bought two years ago, with constantly updated software features.
π The owner expresses gratitude to Rivian for making an epic truck and looks forward to many more miles to come.
Louis Vuitton Sent A Private Investigator to My House...

Louis Vuitton went undercover to buy one of my repurposed wallets and then sent a private investigator to my house to shut down what they thought was a counterfeiting operation. Were we making fake Louis Vuitton? Did they shut us down? Did we go to court? The whole story is rather strange, but shows just how much Louis Vuitton cares about their brand identity. Happy crafting :)
π° Cutting up Louis Vuitton bags has become a signature of the YouTube channel, sparking controversy and interest.
ποΈ "There's nothing counterfeit about it. You call it upcycling. You can call it recycling."
π΅οΈ Louis Vuitton sent a private investigator to the YouTuber's house, but he wasn't intimidated and knew they couldn't do much because what he was doing wasn't illegal.
π΅οΈ Louis Vuitton determined the fabric was fake because it didn't have the rubber lining on the back, but the creator had removed it with a heat gun to use for wallets.
ποΈ Louis Vuitton's attempt to control the resale of their bags raises questions about ownership rights and consumer freedom.
π΅οΈ Louis Vuitton used a fake Instagram account to buy a wallet from me and sent a private investigator to my house.
𧡠As a creator, you have the right to recontextualize and use Louis Vuitton fabric in your work, despite the company's intimidation tactics.
What does Hermes ACTUALLY sell?

Are you wondering if it's worth the splurge to invest in a Hermes Constance belt? Join me as I take you through my journey of exploring the quality of this luxurious leather belt. From finding out which Hermes leathers are my favorite to why I'm "not allowed" to get a Hermes bag, to deconstructing the line and examining the construction of the belt β learn what really goes into making this iconic piece and if it's worth all the money.
π€ Hermes is valued at $219 billion alone, showing that there is something significant here worth exploring.
ποΈ The $250,000 price tag on a special order of Birkin is justified by the genius strategy of gatekeeping perceived exclusivity.
ποΈ As an outsider to the Hermes Club, customers may feel unqualified to purchase their products, creating a sense of exclusivity and desire to be part of the elite circle.
π The Constance belt is made with reversible, two side leathers - Togo calfskin and Chamonix leather, both known for their high quality.
𧡠The Hermes belt is machine-stitched, not hand-saddle stitched like many other Hermes products, challenging the perception of luxury craftsmanship.
π§ The Chamonix leather is described as having a "plasticky" look, making it seem like a cheaper form of leather without dyeing it through.
π± "Some of the big hits, especially Birkin, is straight-out ugly. Yes, I said it. Birkin is ugly."
π° Hermes intentionally overprices their products to signal the owner's abundance and status in life.
