Saw a post on here about frugal shopping and many ladies posted about preferring to invest in higher quality pieces. Can anyone give examples of brands they gravitate towards for higher quality, long lasting pieces?

Tbh, it’s very much about picking out high quality material and construction. I’ve bought really well constructed things from fast fashion brands and really poor quality garments from more premium brands.
Look for thick, 100% cotton, clothing that has lining, fewer decorative pieces like buttons and ruffles, pick higher quality polyester blends that are machine washable and don’t wrinkle easily. Also helps to pick neutral colors and timeliness styles.

This is great advice, thank you!!

Also the concept of a capsule wardrobe where it’s a few high quality items that can be mixed and matched!

Looking for a nice looking, sturdy, comfortable to carry travel duffel with a cross body strap. I always travel with my Louis Vuitton Keepall 55 bandoulière as a carry on, with mainly my shoes and handbags in it - but i took her in to LV for a repair and due to supply issues she will sadly not be back in time for my trip to Italy in September. (The repair may take 10 months, WTF!) I would appreciate any recommendations, and would love for it to be similar in size to the Keepall 55.

Possibly a dumb question but I’m new to buying fine jewelry. When you see items that are listed as fine jewelry at say Nordstrom’s how is that different than the items at an actual jeweler? Is there a quality difference or something else? What about between a jewelry store like Mejuri and Tiffany’s? Are there tiers that I should be aware of (more concerned about levels of quality since I can Google prices but I know that’s not always a direct correlation lol) All insights would be appreciated!
