    I thought I could not afford LV but realized it was quite affordable like 5 years ago, that’s my regret. The things I want now would have amounted to 2k total before.

      If you thought they are unaffordable, means that they were to you at that time and that is the end of story. Buy what you can afford and have a happy life. There is always the next tier. Does canvas LV make me happy? No, but I like it and use it. Would I like epi items? Yes, but don't need them. Do I have $15 items from the local shop? Also yes. Just don't make yourself a slave to these companies. There are plenty of other nice brands out there.

      @@Commentator541 When I say that I mean I assumed they were more than what I could afford, so I didn't even chec prices on items. Its also about my perception at the time. I could have bought one 500 dollar item and been happy with that all year as opposed to spending 2k at various different places trying to obtain the feeling that the 500 dollar item gives me. Also depends on the person. For me, the 500 item was attainable and affordable considering all these things. I'm definitely no one's slave ever. I get what I like and that includes luxury.

      For real! Their seasonal bags are now $3-5k+! I liked the shearling speedy 25 but not for $4100! I’d rather get a Chanel at that price point!

    I feel you, Sophie. I just grab my uniqlo bag nowadays because I am worried about being a target. I already try to dress fashionably so I don't want my bag to draw attention. it's not quiet luxury-- it's just not wanting to get mugged lol

    Hi Sophie! Something I wish I could afford back then was a Chanel WOC. I remember when it was around 1800€. A lot of money I could not afford at the time. Today’s price is just insane…

  • @karins2717
    @karins2717 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    A few years ago I regretted not buying chanel but looking back now I never loved Chanel (the flap, the boy etc) it is simply not my style but people were going nuts over these bags in 2015. All in all I have no regrets. I think it is good for my savings that the prices go up it makes me buy less and save more. Happy holidays everyone!

  • @bridgettecummings6914
    @bridgettecummings6914 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    I completely agree that the prices for the Lady Dior are insane! I got a medium and small a couple of years ago when it was still expensive, but not like it is now. I actually prefer the small size and would like another one. I wouldn’t buy it new. If I get another one, I’ll look at pre-loved. I have found that there are some pre-loved in perfect condition for $2000 less than buying new. I will make sure it’s the color way I want, but I’ll probably never buy a new Lady Dior. I’m glad I got to experience that twice. Now it’s on to pre-loved.

  • @Clara.fosho98
    @Clara.fosho98 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I was just in Gucci today and tried on the Jackie bag in brown. It’s a great bag with a classic look! I also regret not getting the lady dior before price rises, but ended up going the preloved route.

    I first became interested in acquiring luxury bags in 2015. I had a new mortgage at that time, so bags were not my priority. Unfortunately, the prices began going wild and have now reached such insane levels that I will not pay them. Even second hand prices are often more than I will pay. I do regret now not buying a Speedy B 35 and a Pochette Accessoire. I could have easily afforded them then. Now I will not pay LV the money! A Birkin also. C'est la vie! Thank you for the video!

  • @carrino15
    @carrino15 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    I think it is a bit sad, buying luxury used to be aspirational, fun and something to feel better about. Today it feels like being robbed in bright daylight, not to mention the scary loothing could happen too. My scary price is 3k. But 2k would feel more okay for a proper bag, unfortunately 2 k only give you WOC or mini bag totally useless....I felt extremely lucky scooping up some classic bags half price from a luxury store closing down otherwise I would have never had many bag as I'm blessed with now. Sacrifice needs to be made thou, buying clothes secondhand, don't drink alcohol, don't buy jewellery, don't eat out, never goes to hairdresser or do my nails at salon etc etc....

    I just wish I had gotten into a lot of this several years ago when things were decently less expensive.
    I was so convinced back then that a lot of it was out of reach even though I was shopping Coach’s higher end bags lol
    Back then, the $500-$700 I was willing to spend at Coach could have gotten me something from some of the other luxury designer brands I like today, or it could have been used towards something pre-loved.
    Don’t get me wrong - I love the stuff I had then, but it’s more I wish I would have checked out more brands sooner.

    I wish I bought the Saint Laurent Sunset Satchel way sooner, before they stopped allowing discounts on their goods. It used to be €1650 when I laid my eyes on it for the first time, ended up buying it for just under €2k... Now it retails for €2200 👀 Another regret (kinda) is getting ahold of my Chanel Mini Rectangle RIGHT AFTER a price increase... But on the bright side, both are priced way more astronomically today... 😂❤ Thanks for the video Sophie! And wishing you and David happy holidays! ✨🎄🎀

  • @juneyan
    @juneyan 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Completely agree with you about the Fendi Peekaboo. Specifically I wanted the petite iseeu. Had a chance to buy it in Hawaii which is 10% less and also half the tax compared to U.S. mainland. But Hermes had offered me a Constance 18 and i just could not afford both. Now its more expensive. But its still on my mind.

    @girlnuhuh 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    10:43 love Fendi! Their RTW is my fave. I am sad that I missed out on buying a Chanel classic flap, I wouldn’t spend that money now. For my bags I tend to focus on YSL and I have a few from Polène. You’re right, I don’t want to make myself a target so much so that I don’t wear my Fendi RTW after like 4pm. And I want more subtle bags that are still good quality leather but not flashy.

    Is LV having a price rise soon? A few items I have my eyes on like the double pochette and Palm Springs mini backpack. I bought the LV pochette Metis when it was £1300 and now they are almost 2k and the GM Neverful at just under 1k and they are now about £1500. 😊

    @caluxy 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    A long time ago, I wish I had bought the LV louise GM (the style with the shorter bijou chain). It was like $2000-2200 CAD at that moment and then the last year it was in production it was $3600-3800 CAD. It was a good thing I didn't get it bc on resell sites, they have multiple scuffs on the LV closure hardware and leather. The LV closure was so big that scuffs were always going to happen so I'm thankful that I didn't buy it, plus the giant LV looks tacky, now.
    And whats funny was that the "clutch" version, without a chain strap was $1200-1400 back then. So for a extra few hundreds, they just added a chain and marketed it as Louise GM for more money.

    I wouldn’t have minded a Chanel classic flap for 2015 prices but these days it’s ridiculously priced and the quality is highly lacking. There’s hardy any luxury involved any more.
    To have to beg to buy overpriced handbags, to stand in massive queues etc
    It’s a bit desperate and pathetic to be honest

    I think the bar jacket looks good on you inlh if you wear a maxi flowy skirt. Where it hits you at the bottom makes your proportions not as flattering. It would work if it was shorter at the waist or longer just below the hip. Sorry just my opinion. I think it's a difficult length on most people to be fair.
