How much do Gucci and/or Louis Vuitton bags really cost to make?

How much does Guicci/Louis Vuitton bags really cost to make NOT including the price of the actual brand or logo, just cost of materials, designs, and end product.





I'm in the middle of an argument w/ my girlfriend and trying to find hard data about how much these bags really cost. Any links would help too!|||i would love to know too!


its probably around $100


but you are mainly paying for the name


if its handmade then i guess its about $200 or something


**IM JUST GUESSING! lol**|||I would like to know also! But considering it designer label, they at least double their price in making those bags from what it took to make them. HOwever you have to consider many factors in it,for ex. louis vuitton, they have their own cows to make leather, material, factory work or handwork, staff members, hiring their own investigation team to track down counterfeits and the history behind it. They use all the money they get from the bags in order to spend on what they need to regulate their companies. There are so many factors and stuff to take into consider and the only true person that would know, is the head of the designer company. Perhaps they doubled their price of the bag before selling it.|||who cares how much it cost to make!!!! If you don't want to spend outrageous amount of money for them...just go to this websitewww.7starshandbags.com!!!! Trust me you and you're girlfriend will be happy they are one inch from original!!!|||if you ever try to buy them online ( like were stores buy theres there like 40 of them for 100 dollars same with uggs and things the only expensive thing is maybe the leather but leather wouldnt cost 900 dollars so it cost maybe about 15-20 dollars to make one bag. hope this helps with your question!|||About 2 dollars.|||a good rule of thumb is about 10% of retail price. The rest goes into marketing, facilities, salaries, transportation, retail locations, etc. Buying a luxury product has as much to do with the experience as the actual "thing" you take home, which is why you expect a different level of service and a different environment when you're in a luxury boutique than in a Target.|||How much do the knock-offs cost to buy? If you can find the selling price of a reasonable looking counterfeit bag, then you can figure how much of a mark-up the seller of knock-offs puts on the bag, and how much for the maker of the bag, and you will get to a figure that represents how much the bag costs to make without the brand name and designer price.





Or you could look at similar materials in a crafts store, zippers, fabric, leather, whatever, and figure in the cost of 3 hours of labor for cutting and sewing.
