Hvor meget er din samling værd? Ikke sikker, videresalgsværdi er så forskellig fra udgifterne, ikke?
Hvad er din mange dyre taske? Jeg tilbragte mest på Vintage Chanel CC Chevron Box Bag – selvom med hensyn til videresalgsværdi ikke var sikker på, at jeg måske får nøjagtigt det samme beløb i dag.
Hvad er de mest vigtige mærker eller stykker i din samling? Det er vanskeligt at vælge et foretrukket barn, er det ikke? Bedst nu føler jeg, at jeg bruger min Chanel 19 meget, forudsat at det er et denimmateriale såvel som føles meget mere slukket til daglig slid, jeg kan ligeledes lide Prada-genuddannelsen, det er lavet af genanvendt havplast, såvel som det er vandafvisende Så fremragende til regnfulde dage! Jeg bruger Deauville-bæren som en spædbarnspose, da jeg i øjeblikket har en 8 måneder gammel, så jeg antages i den henseende, det er sandsynligvis min foretrukne, da jeg kan bære al min crap rundt i det!
Hvilken alder fik du din allerførste designerpose, såvel som hvad var det? Tæller Kate Spade? Jeg var 17 eller 18 år såvel som brugt en hel del af mine sommeropgaver til sommeren til at købe en af de lyserøde containerposer! Jeg havde ligeledes en træner -armbånd, som jeg kom rundt, så jeg brugte overalt, så godt som det blev ødelagt, da jeg var færdig med det!
Er der en bestemt taske, du ønsker at købe næste gang? En hel del af dem! Jeg kan godt lide at læse CC’er … får mig til at føle mig mindre som en skør person så godt som jeg kan forbinde i en eller anden metode til dem alle. Der er så mange på min liste, jeg misunder alle de kvinder, der har udtalt, at de har opdaget håndtaskefred/nærmer sig den! Jeg har troet på en Hermès Kelly Sellier i 28 eller 32 … Jeg vil gerne have den lille Kelly, men jeg afviser at betale de skøre omkostninger på videresalgsmarkedet, såvel som jeg bare ikke tror, at jeg får det snart når som helst . Dog TBH, der betaler en så høj omkostning for en sådan taske, er lidt afskrækkende, spørger jeg mig ofte, om dette køb ville være en flex, eller om jeg virkelig kan lide selve tasken, derfor har jeg endnu ikke trukket stikket. Jeg husker, da sadelposen var betydelig, da jeg var i gymnasiet, såvel som altid kunne lide det, men endnu ikke har trukket stikket på det også en person. Jeg er ligeledes på listen for at købe den ekstremt tvivlsom Chanel Heart Bag fra Spring-Summer 2022, LOL! Jeg er ligeledes ved at dø for at få en Loewe Flamenco -taske i en af de mindre størrelser! Jeg køber fortsat andre ting, så jeg har været så godt distraheret derfor langt.
Enhver specifik taske, der har en særlig følelsesmæssig værdi? Min Chanel Young Boy Bag var mit allerførste Chanel-køb i midten af 20’erne! I had bought other costly designer bags before then, however my dream because I was in high institution was always to purchase a Chanel! So I will permanently treasure this bag, as well as this was before all the crazy cost increases…I keep in mind when I was in high institution a flap bag retailed for around $1,500 this was back in 2003-2004 as well as believing I would never be able to pay for that, however lusting after it! bit did I understand I ought to have pooled all my summertime task funds there instead of on trainer or Kate Spade, ha!
Do you feel like your bags modification people’s perceptions of you or exactly how you’re treated? Eh, not sure. I online in the bay area where many people have the exact same uniform. I believe when I travel to specific cities it certainly does, however not as much around where we live.
Have your bag-carrying practices altered because Covid? I work from house much more now, so they certainly don’t get out as much. Besides the Chanel tote, I certainly discover myself reaching for smaller bags when I run tasks now, although I still like to have a mix of little as well as larger bags!
The Shopping
How commonly do you purchase new bags? Oh gosh…it truly depends upon exactly how much I have been costs on other stuff like clothes as well as shoes, etc. This year I have purchased 4. I am typically quite great about consigning stuff I don’t utilize though, or providing my bags away I no longer utilize to my sibling or cousin, etc.
Has the Coronavirus pandemic altered your buying practices or general mindset towards luxury? Kind of…I would state at first I felt like I had to spend less provided the future was so uncertain. however then I got expecting as well as was at house as well as tired not being able to see household as well as friends, as well as so I believe I ended up costs much more than normal, ek! I still like high-end as well as value high-end pieces, provided I feel that the much more you spend on something you value it much more as well as take much more care of it…also nobody is going to throw away a Chanel bag if you donate it or consign it, etc., it’s method much more sustainable than purchasing something made of plastic or from a fast-fashion house! I completely comprehend that not everybody can pay for to purchase high-end goods, however I do feel like high-end products ought to be for everyone, I imply I am a living example of not having a heap when I was younger, saving all my money to have one bag, versus a significant collection!
Which stores do you regular the most? Neiman Marcus, Net-a-porter, The RealReal as well as Instagram sellers. Parisian wonderful has an fantastic collection of vintage Chanel through Instagram – inspect out if you’re ever looking (@parisian_sweet), my sibling turned me on to him as well as I like viewing his stories, he has excellent info also as well as is extremely entertaining!
Do you ever purchase second-hand bags? Where do you purchase used? Jeg gør! I just purchased a vintage Gucci bag on the vault (Gucci’s new experimental store) they refurbish their bags, etc. I like Parisian wonderful also (see above), I like to search Fashionphile also although have yet to purchase a bag from there however I certainly plan to in the future. many of my bags come with my SA connection at Neiman’s who I think about a good friend as well!
Do you offer old bags to pay for new purchases? I certainly have in the past! Although I offered a Chanel Filigree Vanity situation which I regret! I hadn’t utilized it in a year, however I miss her, so now I am much much more cautious about selling bags!
Do you ever feel societal pressure to purchase much more bags? Hmmm…I am not sure if I feel societal pressure, however I certainly succumb to impulse buying. The Fendi bag I purchased a few months back which has yet to make an appearance was 100% an impulse buy! I don’t care for patterns as much as I do lovely products that will stand the test of time…I feel for the most part patterns are wasteful financially, as well as likewise poor for the environment, although I certainly was that method when I was younger I think.
Do you think about your bag purchases investments? Ha this is a packed question. I believe they can be, however it depends upon which bags you are buying. vintage bags have certainly enhanced a great deal much more than new bags, exactly how can you state that’s not an investment, ha! Chanel as well as Hermès have great resale value IMO. Chanel bags I have resold on the RealReal have offered for much more than I have purchased them for, it’s just you may have to hold on them to for a while. I assumption I don’t purchase them as investments, however I feel great about them since it’s not like there is no residual value if you get ill of them. much much better than purchasing a new car!
Who influences your purchasing decisions? Hmmm…I believe I like what I like at this point. I like to view the runway shows as well as see if there are adorable bags, etc., likewise per a few of the stuff discussed above, I like to see what the vintage instagram sellers get as well! I am not influenced by stars or influencers to purchase bags although it’s fun to see what they wear.
Are sales partner connections instrumental to your shopping? hahaha. My other half would state yes! My SA at Neiman’s (she utilized to work for Chanel) has been extremely instrumental in me costs much more money on buying in general. I never would have ever believed I would purchase RTW products of garments since honestly, they are insanely overpriced. nevertheless she has certainly persuaded me it’s much better to purchase less things as well as spend much more (cost per wear thing), so to that end I certainly spend method much more money on garments than I ever would have thought, however my wardrobe has much less products of clothes than many peoples, etc.
Why do you delight in shopping, beyond just obtaining something new? I roll my eyes whenever I satisfy somebody (man or lady I have heard it from both), make judgmental comments on people who care about clothes or exactly how they gown or exactly how much people spend on handbags. We are all innovative beings, as well as dressing ourselves is an expression of who we are as individuals, as well as an attire can modification the method we feel about ourselves or our outlook on life. dressing ourselves is a type of art as well as expression beyond just obtaining something new. cheers to all the women who compose as well as are on this blog sharing their experiences as well as stories as well as like of handbags…it’s not as reductive as a dollar spent! To that end I can state I have certainly been a shopaholic of sorts at specific points in my life, hahahaha. I’ve never gone crazy though in terms of going into debt, etc., however for sure I would state I do the retail therapy thing!
Have you ever felt like you got inferior service at a store or shop because of your appearance, ethnicity or gender? When I was 17 I went into BCBG searching for a prom gown as well as the impolite person working the store wouldn’t provide me the time of day, up until my mother came back with me! I am quite sure I have been looked over before as well in my earlier 20s at specific stores, however doesn’t truly occur now most likely because of my age!
Pengene
Who pays for your bags? Me, in some cases my other half as gifts, although because we are married I think about it the exact same pool!
Do you set aside a budget plan for your bag purchases? Eh not really. I just make sure I don’t go crazy…the excellent thing about purchasing designer stuff as well is that there is practically always residual value, so if I am feeling truly guilty I can just consign a lot of clothes or other stuff to get a new bag! I really believe purchasing designer stuff for specific brands is likewise like purchasing a utilized car, where when the preliminary depreciation comes off you can really make a bit bit of money if you resell later on too!
The Taboo Topics
Have you ever bought a counterfeit since you couldn’t pay for a designer item? No, I have come across counterfeits however can always tell the craftsmanship as well as high quality is not as nice.
Do you ever hide purchases from your considerable other? No, although if he sees something new as well as makes a comment in some cases I will state it’s not new he just didn’t notice.
What’s the craziest thing you’ve done to pay for a bag? utilized up all my summertime task money as a teenager to purchase bags!
Do you believe your buying is ever a problem? have you ever felt like you were having a hard time with a buying addiction? I assumption it depends upon who you ask. In all seriousness I am in a extremely fortunate location financially, so I haven’t had to believe about it much, however outside of the PF community, I am sure some people believe I experience from a buying addiction.
The rest Of It
Any other costly hobbies or passions? Travel, Jewelry, RTW, Shoes! All the things all of us like ? I likewise am an artist as well as like filmmaking, as well as putting together productions is costly with extremely little possibility of making money!
