I'm a Cassie fan and I agreeIt is SUCH an weird color
So is Cassie funded by bank of mum and dad or how is she able to buy so much designer stuff? Or does she have another job besides "influencing"?
she must have a trust fund, seeing her upbringing. but she used to have an office job, that I think she had a good salary in. she claimed that the influencing money was surpassing her office job salary so she was able to convert to influencing.
Cassie, like all of those other IG/YT girlies, "buy" 99% of their designer "purchases" via vouchers. If not via voucher, they push the item on socials, tagging the hell out of the brand which typically ends with them getting their $ back OR getting some paid partnership or voucher to cover what they spend + much more. Nii is paying the rent on that NYC flat via his company (read: his company is paying the rent and writing off as a business expense) and, of course, Cassie - like so many other people in the lux influencer space - have the luxury of knowing they don't have to save a dime because they will inherit their parents wealth eventually.
Years ago she had an office job, which she had for 5+ years until they made her position redundant. Not exactly killing it professionally. Then she went FT influencer.
Short answer: I don't think her parents are giving her any $, but her mother started and continues to buy her lux pieces AND Cassie knows the windfall that will come as the only child of two people doing relatively well.
Thanks for this insight. Makes a lot of sense although i'm slightly dubious about how appropriate she is for specific luxury brand sponsorship other than potentially multi-brand luxury retailers giving vouchers..her social media reach doesn't seem up there enough for the big names to sponsor her..but if she gets a myteresa voucher for e.g. she probably doesn't mind! I do wonder how much she nets if so much of her $ gets spent on luxury bags and clothing though. I guess as you say if her rent is covered, it's play money (although i hope she saves some rather than just rely on inheritance..)
Nii's company is paying for the rental. It's called "a corporate rental". It's a "company expense".
These two aren't freelancers. Sure, Cassie could only be able to write off the room where she films the hideous items she gets with gifted vouchers, but Nii can book that rental as a corporate rental and the whole thing is seen as a company expense.
Cassie is not an independent boss babe.
Nii is the co-founder and CEO of that company and it's basically just a small human resources provider business that has 11-50 employees. So I highly doubt the NYC rent is a "business expense" on the small business he co-founded.

Cassie's father is a well respected engineer who was working for BP for many decades as a top management figure. Cassie got a job at BP because of her father/connections. Her mother is a headteacher at state funded schools in South Yorkshire. I think her dad recently retired from his high profile BP job hence the family started a new business called thorpe-bedu.com specialising in luxury communities.
Cassie's father comes from an upper class family (Thorpe) so he grew up going to private schools and her mother comes from a privileged background as well.

Sorry but I’m just watching Cassie’s new Harrods video and she tries on a black shortsleeved shirt bedazzled with gems in the shape of fire it’s horrendous and reminds me of Guy Fieri. Watch and you’ll see what I mean. She has seriously questionable taste

Ok, I like Cassie.
Recently, ok ok, the last year or so, her style and taste, are for me, mostly hit and miss.
But I like her. So I sorta feel bad saying this out loud.
This Palm Angels shirt is an actual 'What the actual duck' moment.
It really is the blingy version of the Guy Fieri shirt.
Big yuck.
Just 'cos it's on sale doesn't mean you should buy it.
Just no.
And.
Enough with shorts or skirts this length. Very meh.
I hate this outfit as well.
Sorry girl.

The flames shirt is a literal lol moment. That shirt, the nails, the multi-color makeup and God only knows how she'll style it all ... Cassie is just such an attention seeker, good or bad.
I also lol'ed when she tried on that dress for the September wedding and described it as "elegant". I spit my water out.
Yeah the dress looked nice in those neutral colors. Not that bubblegum pink/red/whatever it is.
Not much. A belt, those weird wedges, probably a bloody pillow and blanket. It’s laughable. NYC has five stores with loads of product for locals and non-locals. It’s not as hard to get what you want, but still most have to show loyalty. Just not anyone w an online presence in the lux space. They do a search on everyone who makes an appointment.
My theory re Cassie is that she shops w Alyssa Lenore’s SA. I have a theory about AL and how she got her offers quickly with v little spend or time shopping w the brand, but I won’t share that here. I don’t need the drama.
Needless to say, I sold all of my Hermes bags. I’d rather die than walk around w bags that these idiots are wearing. It’s embarrassing at this point. Not even five years ago, Hermes was an aspirational brand, the products felt special. Now it feels like high street and a complete ripoff.
You didn’t keep any of your Hermes bags? Not even your first wish bag?
I was working hard to get a Kelly 28 from my wishlist for years (and years and years) but last year, I lost that yearning for the bag. The influencer world is saturated with Hermes and it’s too much. Also, so many bimbos flaunting their fakes turned my stomach. Once I secured my Carrie purple Fendi, that was a wrap for me on dream bags. I just don’t have the same love of bags anymore. Give me a sporty crossbody and let’s go!
I thought her latest video about things going on and off the wish list was a little bit crass. I know it's her niche, and she's specifically talking about luxurious goods but it got a bit over the top after a while. 10 grand here and there, a bracelet, a jacket, many bags, all while sat in front of a LOT of expensive (and fairly unused) stuff. It just felt off. Read the room, so many are cutting back and living with less at the moment and it seemed rather disgusting after a while.

Oh and while I'm at it (and I'm ratty as hell), I'll tell you what's really luxurious. Good grammar. The number of times I've rolled my eyes at "sort of like, sort of, kind of, like like like..." while watching a video. Screams!!!!!

I did. It's as you said. The bimbos, seeing them and thinking they're fake, worrying about my safety when carrying them now that everyone and their mother knows the brand, knows the resale price, etc. I never reached for them anymore. I still pop into store for a chat with my SA and grab a shawl or whatever, but I will never carry a Hermes bag again.You didn’t keep any of your Hermes bags? Not even your first wish bag?

Respect. I hope you made coin on the resale. People always talk about Hermes (and Chanel) resale value but I’m not seeing the offers that I would have expected from the big resellers (Fashionphile, The Real Real, Rebag).
Cassie's short on YT giving a review of her mother's Cartier JUC bracelet sums Cassie up. She is such an entitled little wanker. A $14K bracelet, gifted by Mummy "because she lost a lot of weight and it's too loose now so she gave it to me" and she's like "Yuh, it's a bangle. It's alriiiight". $14K. Let that sink in. Her response is v rich kids of Beverly Hills. Is that the Cassie many of you stan in this feed? I'm confused.
Also strange re her Mom. Her Mom has always been quite thin in Cassie's videos, definitely no signs of someone who would have chubby wrists. Sounds a bit rubbish to me. I think Cassie was home, Mummy hadn't been wearing the JUC and Cassie suggested she borrow it. Either way, her lack of interest in a $14K bangle screamed trustfunder. Sorry stans, it's been confirmed regardless of how hideous her taste is.
