What's your thought process when buying a luxury item (a few K)? How long did you think about it before buying?

I am debating to buy a used bag but I kept going back and forth of not worth it vs need to get... Ahh

It can take me up to a year to purchase a luxury item. I obsess over it online (read reviews, look for pics, watch YouTube videos, go try it on/see it a couple of times, deliberate over it for months, then eventually pull the trigger. The only time I’ve purchased almost instantly, is when the item was limited edition, or there was a good offer.

To be quite honest it depends on the item. Is it good for every season? Is it practical in size? Can it go with multiple outfits , casual, date night, work, etc.

If it checks majority of those boxes I say GO FOR IT. If you

One thing I look at is resale price and if it holds roughly it’s value. If you regret it in a couple months can you resell it for about the price you paid? If so, it’s relatively low risk to buy. Which bag is it 👀

80% of the time I usually spend too long - 2-3 years thinking about it haha and by the time I’m ready to buy I’m thinking about the next thing I want or other alternatives… so I end up not buying anything and get hit with the price increase 🤦‍♀️

20% happens to be impulse -when I happen to be around the area or just felt like buying something off my wish list

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
