I have an absurd number of designer bags (20+ Dior, Chanel, YSL, Prada, Gucci) 80% bought through consignment. Just bought my first Chanel bag via the store, it’s honestly highway robbery 🙄

💯. I don’t care about the shopping experience, so I don’t want to pay taxes and the significantly higher price just because it’s from the store when you can find like-new elsewhere.

Chanel increases prices almost yearly so not worth buying direct anymore IMHO. My favorite consignment purchase is a like new Gucci bamboo top handle that is 50%+ off retail.

Word. I’m all about second hand. Check out Emma Hill on Youtube- she’s a fashion blogger based in London who is a big advocate of consignment shopping. She has a lot of tips on how to shop online for second hand, authentic designer products.

Fashionphile is another great one

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

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?
