My experience has been buying in France with Euro is cheaper than buying in US. Not sure if there’s a difference in prices in EU countries

I think it’s always better to buy from your local store. You’re 100% a nobody at a Chanel store in Paris

Europe generally has lower pricing than US plus you get your VAT refund.

Italy is great for buying Gucci.

After the tax refund and in general lower price at the Dior in Paris I saved $800 or more on a saddle bag and strap. The experience was lackluster though It almost felt like shopping in a Nordstrom which was too bad but worth it for the savings

France for French brands and Italy for Italian.
Chanel regulates prices, so they are kinda same everywhere, but you will be getting tax refund.

Considering leaving my agency after just a couple months in pharma - feeling underutilized and stuck.

My question: do I leave this stint off my resume entirely? List the parent agency instead of the wellness arm? Pass it off as freelance? Not trying to be dishonest I just know this experience probably isn’t relevant when going out for non-pharma jobs.

Does anyone own an LV Capucines? My heart has been set on that for a while now but I see it’s prices keep going up, up, up!

Also are there other LV bags that do not have the visible LV prints?

Kind of seeking validation here but also happy to take feedback. Is 22 too young for luxury goods? I’m obsessed with handbags. Like literally. I own 2 LV, 1 Chanel, 1 YSL, 1 Gucci, and just bought another Gucci. Idk what’s wrong with me🧐but I’ve been feeling super antsy and dissatisfied with life that I seek thirst in binge shopping, or even spending hours looking at handbags. Fyi I’m really not spoiled, most of the bags are hard earned and I consider myself to be ambitious
