Product placement
SYluxury: The brand appears as a tag in the caption. It is the source of the 'alternative' bag being compared. It merely appears as a handle in the caption; removing it would not change the visual content of the video. Chanel: The 'OG' bag is a Chanel Classic Flap. It acts as the benchmark for the comparison. It is a real, existing product.
