Lazard - just shut up. People have every right to splurge on a materialistic good every once in a while. And you just contradicted yourself with the watch.

Literally none of them. Google "conspicuous consumption" if you don't already know what it is. What a foolish question. Same goes for watches, sunglasses, etc. Literally the only reason for the high prices of all these items is to prove to other people you can afford it. Have fun with that. I have a nice watch but only for the lulz. Taking consumerism seriously is usually a sign of intellectual laziness. That said, check out Mulberry Bayswater, Balenciaga City Collection

JHC, who let Thorstein Veblen in the forum. Next he/she will pontificate on the ills of greed and quote Thomas Aquinas.

Op: depends on the type of handbag. All of the key lux brands ( Chanel, Gucci, Prada, ysl etc...) retail clutches ( a style of handbag) for under 2k with good consignment/resale value

JPMC 2, I completely agree that people have the right to buy whatever they want. I love buying ostentatious items just as much as the next person, but "worth the money" is an absurd standard when the primary element of value is that it's expensive in the first place. The only real question is will this item effectively broadcast the signal I am trying to send.

None of them. No article of fabric for holding items in is worth as much as a designer label. They're all made in sweatshops anyway z

The element of value is also driven by the buyer's perception of value. Principles of Scarcity and exclusivity drive aforementioned demand. Econ/marketing/Sales 101

(From a quality/workmanship perspective anyway.)

A classic Chanel traditionally has the best re-sale value. If you want to spend that much, go vintage.

My backpack cost £40 and I love it.

I'm not in sales per se but I manage my company's largest wholesale account ($150 million per/yr account). It's a great company, awesome culture, good benefits, flexibility, but the pay is not great ($60K/yr). All the pros outweighed the mediocre pay, but now with inflation rising, my paycheck isn't going as far and I'm having a really hard time trying to figure out if I should start looking elsewhere or if I should ask my boss for a raise.

Is there any advantage to telling a company you are interested in working for in the future where you decided to accept an offer from? Or does it not matter?

Company B just sent me a request for interview and I want to keep the door open with Company B but they were just very late in extending an interview.
