Why didn’t they partner with a high end pencil brand? They could have marketed it as a high quality fashion case to protect your high end fancy pencils. Real artists will know and people like me will just feel fancy.

As someone who’ worked in mid to high-level fashion retail for 10+ years I can tell you 100% that Louis Vuitton probably used the same pencil maker. I can’t tell you the amount of times I saw several high end brands with the exact same product from the exact same factory with the only difference being the label slapped on the product. I wish more people understood how they really are only buying the brand and the idea that you’re always getting a higher quality product is a total myth
-
Gucci are not targeting artists with this product. They are almost definitely targeting rich parents who want their kids to have 'fancy' stationary at their 'fancy' school.
-
It’s kind of hilarious that Gucci didn’t even know they were selling water color pencils 😝
-
I bet the $730 was for all that fancy packaging. The $5 was for the actual pencils.
-
As an artist, even the Gucci case looks aesthetically unappealing
-
It was only 40 pencils? For that price, I was expecting at least a few hundred pencils. I heard that Gucci scams people... this is imo proof of it.
-
When she opened the case I instantly got dollar store pencil vibes :D
-
Yay, I love seeing how the expensive stuff holds up against the cheaper stuff. You just know it's not going to be worth the cost.
-
The worst eyeliner I ever had was Gucci. Maybe it was the black pencil from this set 😂😂😂
-
If it makes you feel any better, you can think of the Gucci pencils as an $800 collector pencil carrier that comes with the bonus of colored pencils
-
I'm so glad I stumbled upon this video. I had no idea you were out there doing this. Pretty sure I never would consider Gucci for art supplies, but it was fun to watch. You are absolutely adorable and you're an incredible artist!!
-
I feel like 90% of the price comes from packaging alone.
And did you say 40 for $800 ??? They better be drawing my pictures for me and sharpening themselves 🤣 -
So today after 28 years of existing , this lady taught me all my lead has been breaking when I sharpen my pencils because I use them as drum sticks at work .
-
Thank you very much for the captions, I'm learning English and I really appreciate when someone has captions in the video.
-
it was actually really interesting hearing all the new information about coloured pencils from you. you're so knowledgeable !!
-
It wouldn't surprise me at all if both companies contracted with the same supplier/manufacturer to produce a pencil set for them. Or just the pencils themselves, which Gucci/LV then used when assembling the final product, after making the case with their own material/hardware.
-
LOL I love this series so much!!!
-
I love the vibe and energy of this video!

This video makes me think of my college years. When I was a University student I used underlying colour codes for different concepts and categories. I bought a new colour pencil for every book I studied. The more I studied, the more I added variety in the underlying shades, the more sofisticated the code became. When I graduated I found myself with a shoebox full of colour pencils, most of which had their own unique colour shade. I still keep these pencils as a memory of my hard study and my college years...
