Hate that I have to jump through hoops to spend my money - anyone else feel this way? I’ve been trying to buy entry level watches / bags and it’s been impossible. I get the Covid-era scarcity but am so frustrated by the lack of transparency re: availability, sales agent responsiveness, etc.

It’s a strategy for all those brands, they create scarcity to make value go up. Idk why so many people fall for it. If you look pass brand name you can find so many exclusive high-end quality pieces.

Where are you located and what exactly is the issue? The usual Prada/LV/Gucci/Chanel at high-end malls near me always seem to have plenty of stock (especially LV)

Hop on the plane to Paris or Milan. Scarcity is a US thing.

A1 you are so right about the walk im experience bring totally unglam. To get decent service one has to call the boutique for an appointment. Or, there are shopping services that specialize in creating a pleasant shopping experience.

Interested in everyone’s opinions on replica luxury. I ask because, as noted in the previous thread re: Chanel’s price increases, the quality of authentic luxury bags is going way down while the price increases consistently. Specifically Chanel and LV. I’m fascinated in the online rep community and it looks like rep quality has increased exponentially (with genuine materials and 1:1 markings, stitching, hardware, etc). What’s your argument for or against replicas?
