What are your thoughts on a navy suit + black belt/shoes? People mention “black and blue don’t do” but I just think that saying has no merit aside from it rhyming. I personally think it’s a classic style and a nice break from the typical brown touch

Hi 🐠,

I have recently joined Infosys and they have put me in a project where I will be the only guy working in the team and the team lead is at the onsite location. Are such projects good? Because I haven’t worked like this anywhere before.

TIA :)

Have new car prices increased as much as used? Estimated market value of my car has increased by over $10k, so I’m considering selling it to upgrade. But if new prices have gone up as much, then it’s a wash and there’s no compelling financial reason to upgrade now.

Anyone ever have experience negotiating a new offer to include unvested 401k match and stock grants from your current employer? I hate leaving money on the table but there are some good roles out there. I’m not fully vested in my current 401k yet and my stock grants haven’t matured yet either. This would be at a global director level.

Is fashionphile a legitimate place to buy a Chanel bag if it comes with an authenticity card? I know that there is at least some risk, but I’m trying to gauge if this a reputable enough place to spend so much money. Thanks!

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?

Which are more worth it and why? Christian Dior slingbacks, jimmy choo mules or Manolo blahnik satin pumps?

Need the 101 on how to work with SAs at luxury boutiques as a first-time buyer. Do you “shop around” until you find one you like? If something isn’t in stock, do they text you proactively? Would love to hear how you all developed relationships.

Any recommendations on designer card wallet other than Gucci? Looking to buy one for my sister. I already have the Gucci leather card wallet and my sis is not a fan of Gucci. TIA!

Just bought my first Tiffany product! Wrap Bead Bracelet in Silver with Pearls and a Diamond.

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

I’m looking for a diamond tennis bracelet for my wedding. Any recommendations on where I can find one? I checked out Costco and Blue Nile and they were just ok.

Anyone use TRR, Rebag, etc. to buy and sell? How often do you change out/trade up items in your collection?

What do you think of the Saint Laurent baby uptown bag in white with gold hardware?

Anyone own Loro Piana Summer Walks? What is your review of them?

I’m going to be going luxury handbag and shoe shopping in Paris and looking to spend around $10K total. What are some classic things you recommend I consider? I am looking at YSL, Dior lady bag, Ferragamo loafers, etc. I want classic items that will never go out of style and are worth the cost

How can Prada want $1,750 for a bag that’s not even 50% leather??? Why do I want to buy one???

Has anyone been able to get the LVxNike sneakers today?

Does anybody else see no point in splurging on luxury goods at the moment? Don’t get me wrong, I still love a bit of Cartier and Dior, but what’s the point when we can’t really go anywhere?
