How much is your collection worth? I would quote retail value to be north of $30,000
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 varierer. Noen ganger er jeg fornøyd med noen dømmekraft (eller er det sjalusi?) Når du snakker med fremmede som føler kravet om å kommentere posen eller stille spørsmål. Jeg har hatt kollegaer, gjør kommentarer både positivt, så vel som ugunstige om posene mine. Hvis noen ikke behandler meg med respekt, vil jeg virkelig ikke engasjere eller gi dem tid på dagen. Hele mitt liv jeg har blitt pegged som “bortskjemt rik jente”, så vel som det er ingen realitet til det – jeg jobber vanskelig, så vel som har vært privilegert, men jeg er en fin person. Folk som forstår meg godt, forstår at jeg liker poser / luksusprodukter, så vel som jeg bærer disse produktene til min egen glede.
Shoppingen
Hvor ofte kjøper du nye poser? så ofte, sannsynligvis! Jeg brukte for å kjøpe en ny pose i året, men de siste 2-3 årene har jeg kjøpt 3-5 poser hvert år. I år har jeg bare kjøpt en pose! Jeg tror også i år vil være et ganske lett år for nye kjøp siden Covid – når jeg får en ny pose, vil jeg kunne gå ut på byen, så vel som flaunt det! Åpenbart har jeg ikke hatt den sjansen under karantene, så når ting gjenåpner, planlegger jeg å “handle mitt skap”.
Hvilke butikker gjør du vanlig mest? Online: Designerens nettsteder selv, 24 Sevres, Nordstrom
Jeg handler ikke virkelig poser i person med mindre jeg reiser. Butikkene i nærheten av meg er et problem for å komme til så godt som jeg foretrekker å stalke ting på internett uansett. Når jeg er i butikken, er jeg ekstremt direkte, så vel som vil se hva jeg har vært ute på min ønskeliste.
Kjøper du noen gang bruktposer? Hvor kjøper du brukt? Jeg har! Jeg har brukt både fashionphile så vel som RealReal en gang hver. Purses er den eneste typen produkter jeg ville tenke på å kjøpe brukt, så vel som bare hvis det var noe jeg ikke kunne skaffe seg nytt ellers.
Tilbyr du gamle poser for å betale for nye kjøp? Type … Jeg tilbyr gamle poser (trener, D & B, Kate Spade, Tory Burch, så vel som en Burberry) Men den primære grunnen var å avklare garderoben min, ikke virkelig å gjøre metoden for et nytt kjøp. Av programmet er det fint å tjene litt penger på noe jeg ikke bruker lenger. Jeg har tilbudt på Poshmark, så vel som eBay, så vel som til RealReal en gang. Jeg tilbyr mye klær via Poshmark også til i dag.
Føler du noen gang samfunnsmessig press for å kjøpe flere poser? Hmm, jeg overholder mønstre, men det får meg ikke til å føle meg presset til å kjøpe flere poser. Jeg misliker når blogging / instagraminflytere alle plutselig begynner å bringe en bestemt pose – det er et stort signal for meg at jeg ikke vil ha det, så vel som jeg vil slå den av min liste. Jeg liker å være unik (selv om jeg har noen fremtredende poser). Jeg kjøper når jeg vil behandle meg selv eller å feire, når den tiden oppstår.
Tror du på posen din kjøper investeringer? Ikke i den forstand at jeg planlegger å få penger ved å selge dem senere. Men som en investering i min personlige stil, så definitivt ja! Jeg tror også på nøyaktig hvor mye glede, så vel som slitasje, jeg kommer ut av en hvilken som helst type gjenstand – jo mer jeg liker det, så vel som å bruke det da det er penger godt brukt.
Hvem påvirker dine kjøpsbeslutninger? Meg! Jeg er en vanlig nettleser – jeg ruller med nettsteder for å se hva som er nytt flere ganger med uken, så vel som jeg liker å lese her på Purseblog for materialet, samt å finne nye ting. Når jeg har øye med noe, begynner jeg å inspisere ut Celeb Instagrams for å se styling ideer. Det er noen fantastiske påvirkninger som jeg beundrer samlinger av også, men jeg prøver alltid å tro på nøyaktig hvordan jeg vil ha på seg så vel som stil en pose i mitt eget liv, så vel som ikke stilisert, så vel som “Curated”.
Er salgspartnerforbindelser instrumental til shopping? Nei, likevel, jeg liker en god salgsrepresentant, men siden jeg sjelden handler i butikken, kommer jeg ikke til å stole på dem så godt. Hvis noen hjelper meg i butikken, selv om jeg vil henge på deres komme i kontakt med info permanent, så vel som nå ut når jeg trenger å spore noe ned. Det er fantastisk å ha et online punkt for å komme i kontakt med også for reparasjoner eller kundetjeneste grunner. Jeg har hatt fantastiske erfaringer med salgsrepresentanter som har tatt seg tid til å lytte til det jeg trenger (som å kjøpe for en lommebok, samt å velge noe som jeg ikke har sett før) eller spesielle bestilling av ting som er ute av lager.
Jeg har oppdaget å avhenge av min egen forskningsstudie for å kjøpe – det er ikke noe verre enn å gå inn i en butikk bare for å gjenkjenne at du forstår mer om produktene enn personen som hjelper deg er. Det er dårlige salgsassistenter som i utgangspunktet gir ingen verdi til kjøpsopplevelsen.
Hvorfor liker du shopping, utover bare å få noe nytt? Jeg liker håndverket av designerprodukter, så vel som ærlig, beundrer ting for det er en spenning for meg. It’s likewise a fun time when I go buying with my liked ones (husband, parents, etc) since we are relaxed as well as carefree just inspecting things out whether 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.
Pengene
Hvem betaler for posene dine? 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.
Taboo-emnene
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.
The rest Of It
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. Uansett hva.
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.
