lvoeit, it makes THAT much difference…the reality is, companies who brand (much like the Chanel jewellery previously mentioned) market this stuff off just by knowing that having double c’s stamped on something will raise their price exponentially. and all they have to do it stick a logo on it.
go with the gold, people.

the bangle is not made of plastic!!! it’s acetate… a cotton-derived, natural substance! PLASTIC.. how appalling.

On average, a bangle that size would probably require about 40 grams. Of course, the more dense it is the more gold it will require.

I am with you that gold is a wiser investment. Then again, we can say that about almost all of the designer handbangs as well. Personally, I don’t think $400 is a too bad of a price in relative terms.

The current price of gold is USD 29 per gram (approximately), for $435 you could buy 15 grams of pure 24 kt gold.(not jewelery)

Financially it is a much wiser investment than this piece of prettified plastic junk (or any other designer resin jewelery for that matter).I don’t care how nice its ‘design’ is

good to watch, foolish to buy

P.S Arabic and Indian catalogues have differently priced catalogues for their native countries and countries like UK, USA and Europe.

i.e Gold jewelery is a little cheaper in India (the craftsmanship charges are a little less).. but not so cheap that you could buy a bangle for $80(approx 4000 Indian Rupees)

Anyhow gold at 24 karat is rather soft and tends to bend easily, hence it is mixed with other metals to give solidity to the design.I doubt that a lot of jewelery is made with 24 karat gold around the world.

I currently own five of the assorted colors of the LV Resin bracelets, they are the best purchase I have ever made. If you are a Die Hard Louis Vuitton Lover Price is no object!!!!

I actually like it but at $400 for plastic it’s too much! For $85 more I can get an Hermes enamel bracelet, which I feel is more timeless.

I agree, you are definitely paying an inflated price for the sake of the LV logo. I too dislike obvious branding, but this bangle manages to win me over with its camo colours and subtle integration of the LV in the design. It’s funny how design houses think they can charge such extreme prices for essentially cheap materials, but then there must be some rich people with money to burn that buy this stuff!

hey hey hey, be nice. We’re not here to argue. But anyway, with anything LV, ur sure to be paying for the name of the product as well as for the quality. Unfortunately resin bracelets cost pennies to make and $400 is way out of my budget for a bracelet. Even with gold prices at an all time high now, i’d rather buy a piece of gold/precious stone.
