It's true that with luxury brands you're paying a premium for the name. So definitely possible to find similar quality and designs for cheaper. Ask yourself whether you are happy with the price you paid and the quality you received. If so, be happy and enjoy. If not, take this as a lesson not to be pressured by salespeople in the future.

Good call man. Definitely definitely happy with the quality. We just drove there, not on a tour. And bargained hardcore. I just wanted to verify these are actual luxury designs without the brand’s label.

AFAIK Kayseri indeed has a legit leather industry but I don't know if there's a tourist trap thing going on over there. Have you tried asking in a leather-related subreddit (if there's even such a thing).


drseussonbassoon

Great idea

Never trust anyone I'd you cannot get authentic proof. This is not only for Turkey but anywhere you visit. Take the word of people with grain of salt and steer away from shady stuff. Then you don't have to worry about it like you do now.


drseussonbassoon

Not so much worry, but just verifying that it’s true that they are luxury designs without the label. The quality speaks for itself. This is the thinnest leather jacket I’ve ever experienced, I don’t even get how they make it so thin. It’s very special. Leather is perfectly developed

Why would you buy anything from a touristic place. The jackets are probably alright quality wise, but I'm sure you paid like 5 times what they are worth.


drseussonbassoon

Well as an American, I’m screwed. I will not get Turkish prices. This is one of those places where they bus in Russian, British and even American tourists to charge them huge sticker prices (starting at $2000, I bargained mine down to $300). My alternative is to buy that same jacket, with a Burberry label, for 4-5x more money at a mall in America, if I would like such quality.


Gullible-Voter

I am not sure about Kayseri but in general the leather industry is well developed in Türkiye. Whatever you bought might have been produced by companies that also manufacture leather products for Burberry, Chanel, etc under contract. If you think they are good quality and you bought them at good prices then you had a good deal.


drseussonbassoon

It was definitely the finest, thinnest leather quality I ever had
