What is your most costly bag? My Chanel, I’m sure! I just discovered the receipt the other day. It was bought about 7 or 8 years ago. I’m astounded at exactly how much the cost has gone up for the exact same bag over the last few years.
What are the most important brands or pieces in your collection? Louis Vuitton will always be one of my faves, it was the very first brand that I began routinely buying high-end bags from. Gucci is important to me since it is so simple to wear as well as I likewise own many shoes by the brand. Individually, I like each of my bags – I will spend a number of weeks, or months in some cases, evaluating my next purchase as well as generally each purchase represents an important milestone or accomplishment.
What age did you get your very first designer bag, as well as what was it? When I was a pre-teen I had rather a few coach as well as Dooney & Bourke bags. I honestly don’t keep in mind the styles anymore, I’ve offered those over the years.
My very first genuine designer bag was the Chanel traditional Flap which was a college graduation gift. It was rather difficult to find at the time. I had visited a Nordstrom Chanel shop that didn’t have any type of stock of the bag, a shop in Honolulu while on household vacation as well as they didn’t have in stock, lastly – discovered the bag while visiting Toronto as well as was ecstatic when they brought her out!
Is there a specific bag you are looking to purchase next? My wishlist is always growing as well as changing… I like to research, go to TPF, stalk on the internet shops…
Chanel WOC in beige or Chanel WOC stylish (will for sure get soon when stores open up ideally in a light neutral)
Goyard St Louis (would like to see in person in my travels to completely decide)
Saint Laurent medium LouLou (the latte is beautiful)
LV Pochette Accessoires (I’m always looking for this)
Dior- would like a book carry however I have so many totes. I likewise like the saddle revival ?
Loewe basket bag
Chanel 19 in light pink, however don’t believe I might pull the trigger with the price
Chloe Tess intrigues me however with Chloe I get a short obsession as well as then it ends. I’ve never been in like sufficient to make the purchase.
Any specific bag that holds a special emotional value? I suppose I’m emotional about all of them. I buy the bags with the mindset that I will keep them permanently as well as pass them down if there’s an chance to my future child. I truly like bags that I purchase with my mom. We have such a fun time buying together as well as making memories.
Do you feel like your bags modification people’s perceptions of you or exactly how you’re treated? Yes, although the circumstance varia. A volte sono soddisfatto di un giudizio (o è gelosia?) Quando parli con estranei che sentono il requisito di commentare la borsa o fare domande. Ho avuto i collaboratori fanno commenti sia positivi che sfavorevoli sulle mie borse. Se qualcuno non mi tratta con il rispetto, non impegnerò veramente né fornire loro il tempo del giorno. Tutta la mia vita sono stata peggiata come “ragazza ricca viziata” e non c’è realtà per questo – lavoro difficile e sono stati privilegiati, tuttavia sono una brava persona. Le persone che mi capiscono bene capiscono che mi piacciono le borse / prodotti di lusso e indosso questi prodotti per il mio piacere.
Lo shopping
Quanto frequentemente compri nuove borse? Anche spesso, probabilmente! Ho utilizzato per acquistare una nuova borsa all’anno, tuttavia negli ultimi 2-3 anni ho comprato 3-5 borse ogni anno. Quest’anno ho comprato solo una borsa! Allo stesso modo, credo che quest’anno sarà un anno piuttosto leggero per nuovi acquisti da quando Covidid – quando ottengo una nuova borsa, voglio essere in grado di uscire in città così come lo flaunt! Ovviamente non ho avuto quella possibilità durante la quarantena, quindi quando le cose riapono, ho intenzione di “fare acquisti il mio armadio”.
Quali negozi di più? Online: i siti web dei designer stessi, 24 sevvers, Nordstrom
Non compro davvero borse di persona a meno che non stia viaggiando. I negozi vicino a me sono un fastidio per arrivare così come preferisco comunque gambo le cose su Internet. Quando sono in negozio sono estremamente diretto e voglio vedere tutto ciò che ho guardato sulla mia lista dei desideri.
Hai mai comprare borse di seconda mano? Dove comprate? Io ho! Ho utilizzato sia la fashionfolo che quella realreal una volta ciascuno. Le borse sono l’unico tipo di prodotti che penserei di acquistare la seconda mano oltre che solo se fosse qualcosa che non potevo acquisire nuovi altrimenti.
Offrite vecchie borse da pagare per i nuovi acquisti? Tipo di … Ho offerto vecchie borse (allenatore, D & B, Kate Spade, Tory Burch, così come un Burberry) Tuttavia, la ragione principale era quella di decluttermare il mio guardaroba non veramente fare il metodo per un nuovo acquisto. Di programma è bello fare un po ‘di soldi da qualcosa che non sto utilizzando più. Ho offerto su Poshmark e su eBay e ad eBay, oltre che all’Airreal. Offro una grande quantità di indumenti di Poshmark anche anche fino ad oggi.
Hai mai sentito la pressione della società per acquistare più borse? Hmm, mi conforto a modelli comunque che non mi fa sentire sotto pressione per comprare più borse. Non mi piacciono quando il blogging / Instagram gli influencer iniziano improvvisamente portare un sacchetto specifico, questo è un segnale enorme per me che non lo voglio così come lo colpirò dalla mia lista. Mi piace essere unico (anche se ho delle borse prominenti). Compro quando voglio trattarmi o per festeggiare, quando si verifica quella volta.
Pensi alla tua borsa acquista investimenti? Non nel senso che intendo guadagnare denaro vendendoli in seguito. Tuttavia come investimento per il mio stile personale, quindi sicuramente sì! Allo stesso modo credo esattamente a quanto gioia e da indossare esaurito da qualsiasi tipo di oggetto, più mi piace così come l’utilizzo di allora che è denaro ben speso.
Chi influenza le tue decisioni di acquisto? Me! Sono un browser abituale – Scordo con i siti web per vedere cosa c’è di nuovo più volte con la settimana così come mi piace leggere proprio qui su Purseblog per il materiale oltre a trovare nuove cose. Quando ho d’occhio qualcosa, allora comincio a ispezionare gli instagram celeb per vedere idee per lo styling. Ci sono alcune fantastiche influenze che ammiro anche le collezioni di collezioni anche comunque cerco di credere sempre di come indosserò esattamente come indosserò così come uno stile una borsa nella mia vita e non è stilizzata così come “curata”.
I collegamenti partner di vendita sono strumentali per il tuo shopping? No, tuttavia, mi piace un grande rep di vendita, tuttavia da quando raramente negozio in negozio non mi damo dipendere da loro. Se qualcuno mi assiste in serbo, anche se si aggrapperò al loro contatto con informazioni in modo permanente, oltre a raggiungere quando ho requisito aiuto che monitora qualcosa. È fantastico avere un punto di contatto online con anche per riparazioni o motivi del servizio clienti. Ho avuto esperienze meravigliose con ripetizioni di vendita che hanno preso il tempo di ascoltare ciò che ho requisito (come comprare per un portafoglio e scegliere qualcosa che non ho visto prima) o per ordinare speciali cose che sono esaurite.
Ho scoperto di dipendere dal mio stesso studio di ricerca per l’acquisto – non c’è niente di peggio che entrare in un negozio solo per riconoscere di capire di più sui prodotti rispetto alla persona che ti aiuta è. Ci sono poveri associati di vendita che fondamentalmente non forniscono valore all’esperienza di acquisto.
Perché ti piace fare shopping, oltre a ottenere qualcosa di nuovo? Mi piace l’artigianato dei prodotti del designer e onestamente, ammirando cose per questo è un’eccitazione per me. Allo stesso modo è un momento divertente quando vado a comprare con i miei piaciuti (marito, genitori, ecc.) Dal momento che siamo rilassati e spensierati e spensierati semplicemente ispezionando le cosehether in person or on the internet (sending links).
Have you ever felt like you got inferior service at a store or shop because of your appearance, ethnicity or gender? No. I believe I have been ignored however not purposely – most likely because of the stores being hectic or something. If nobody greets me when I go into the store that’s quite irritating however if I requirement assistance I will just ask somebody for assist as well as wait my turn.
I soldi
Chi paga per le tue borse? Me as well as my parents. I feel I will get flamed for this, however my parents have bought a number of bags for me as gifts. It makes them happy to provide gifts to my hubby as well as me, so who am I to stop them? My mom didn’t truly get in to designer bags up until I did (over the last decade) as well as now she’s like “what I get, you get!”. It’s so fun as well as we have a number of matching bags as well as like to discuss our buying listings together.
Do you set aside a budget plan for your bag purchases? No, however since bags are high dollar purchases I do discuss with my hubby (we completely share finances) before finalizing a purchase. In my compensation for my job, my monthly earnings varies, however if I close a big sale (or want to celebrate) I’ll state something like, “that’s a new bag for mama!”
Over the years, both my hubby as well as I have ebbed as well as flowed in our incomes- we’ve moved a great deal to go after work as well as grad programs, some years he’s made more than me as well as vice versa. We have budgeted strictly in the past as well as have worked extremely difficult to get to where we are now.
The Taboo Topics.
Have you ever bought a counterfeit since you couldn’t pay for a designer item? When I was like, 11, my household took a vacation to NYC. I begged my parents for a multi-color Louis Vuitton as well as we snapped up a fake one on Canal street (bad!! I know!!). I believe this might have been influenced from Sex as well as the City. I was young, we didn’t understand anything about designer buying at the time, as well as I would never do it again.
Do you ever hide purchases from your considerable other? No, however if my parents buy me a bag as a gift my hubby may groan a bit about exactly how they “shouldn’t be buying” all these things. When we discuss a big upcoming purchase, he generally verbalizes that I don’t requirement one more bag however when it shows up he appreciates it. I do understand a few of my bags might finance a vacation for the two of us to enjoy so it’s important to think about purchases to make sure I only get what I truly LOVE.
What’s the craziest thing you’ve done to pay for a bag? Haven’t done anything as well crazy however in my younger years definitely asked my parents to buy me a bag when I wasn’t making much money.
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 don’t believe it’s a issue however I do spend a great deal of time browsing bags in my free time. I believe I’ve made errors before I was married since I was young as well as just buying whatever I felt like without believing about my future finances. however now, I have the means to pay for anything I want to buy (within reason) as well as I believe of the long term pleasure I will have from my bag collection.
Il resto di esso
Any other costly hobbies or passions? Yes… definitely a fan of designer shoes. I like fashion jewelry as well as have been building a little Cartier stack of bracelets as well as buying diamond jewelry. I likewise like to make investments in stocks/markets – this is something my hubby as well as I have fun doing together.
Anything else you would like to include?
Be kind to others. Non importa cosa.
I believe the old adage of you get what you pay for is true. I believe anyone, no matter their monetary condition should buy things that are high quality however above all else – buy what makes them happy.
Don’t buy something just since somebody else has it, go with what makes your heart sing.
Don’t ask somebody the cost of what they are using – it’s rude as well as uncouth – look it up if you must.
Also, infant your bags – be kind to them so they look like-new for many years to come.
