I don't even understand people like Claire who collect (read: hoard) Hermes the way she does. The Hermes price point is mainly for the name, the experience you once received as a customer and now is exclusive to only VVIP customers, etc. Can you imagine schlepping a B40 around town? Granted she got it in a "lighter" leather, but we're not talking epsom. It's so much leather, and for what? She has such a desire to present herself as someone with generational wealth. I don't get it. Why does this mean so much to her?
I am surrounded by people who have sold company after company who do not shove brands in people's faces to prove their success. It's all quite sad. One might ask WHEN will Claire feel as if she's done well, but the answer is never. So long as they continue to live in homes paid for by her husband's family any success will never matter. You're always on someone else's dime.
I wonder if his family is bankrolling RS. The likelihood is quite high.
Or wholesale e-comm stores like NAP, Farfetch and MyTeresa.
Claire buys nothing except for the biscuits in Harrod's basement. This is why she and other influencers have an excess of cash that their followers do not. 99% of what they show is either gifted or "bought" via gifted vouchers. They bank sponsor $ and if they have actual jobs, they bank that $ as well. Zero out for most of their shopping so it's NBD to get Hermes and Chanel right and left because that's literally all you're buying w your own $.
They basically live the trustfund life without the rich grand/parents who actually worked for that $. Free trips, free meals, free high-end to lux clothing and bags, etc. I will never understand how anyone can like or relate to these women once you realize that is exactly what it is.
