Anyone else not wanting to use their Balanciaga stuff atm? The company is beyond reproach imho but I love my bags! Gutted!
Use them. I’m so over this whole woke crap. Of course it’s horrible and reprehensible but are 90% of our clothes and designer stuff not made in sweat shops as it is. Picking and choosing who to cancel to suit someone’s narrative is ridiculous. Oh Balenciaga tried to do an edgy shoot and it failed, where as actual paedophiles roam the street after serving F all time. Deal with the real problems.

I’ve only ever bought LV in 2001 (wish I’d kept hold of it!) and many Mulberry’s.

I feel I’m ready to step up a level and need enabling 😂 I have a classic/minimalist style, only wear neutrals, so I’m drawn towards YSL and Chanel rather than more fashion bags.

I do love the padded cassette though!

I’m looking for more investment pieces, so without sounding arrogant, my top budget would be £30k. And I’m also on the lookout for a watch (same budget.)

ETA I know this sounds ridiculous, especially in the current climate!
Totally up to you how you enjoy your money! That’s what I like about this thread, we can talk about our luxury purchases here without judgement. Don’t feel guilty or like you have to explain or be in any way apologetic! If you can afford it, go for it ❤

FML how expensive is Chanel these days?! Considering a pair of 2 tone ballet flats and you’re looking at around £800 which is RIDICULOUS!
I saw a video on insta recently where a leather smith deconstructed a Chanel purse and rated it on the craftsmanship, the quality of the hide and basically said it was worth about £100🫠 😳

Yeah that’s a lot to spend on something that you may not wear. Incredible for a Christmas party or winter wedding though 🤍 I’m amazed at what’s on Maxx these days, hidden in all the shit are some gems. I found a past season silk Hayley Menzies dress on there last year - just one left, in my size for something like £100. I’d given up hope of finding one in stock anywhere and there it was. I mean, it was one of the best days of my life! 😂



YSL is great quality isn’t it? I have an East West tote and a couple of pairs of Nu Pieds and they have all worn beautifully. Super cute bag 👌🏼



I bet that’ll be such a useful bag, the colour is perfect.
I love ysl like you say the quality is fab , it’s a brand I’m always drawn too x
I have more ysl bags If anyone would like to see my collection I will put some pics on xx

Yeah it's a decent little earner 🤣 I could get a few quid for my cartier ring box etc but...they're so pretty lol and IF I ever decide to sell the ring then be worth more with the box. I'm keeping my little LV bag/box my coin purse came in too lol but one day...who knows
Ohhh noooo, don't sell the boxes and carry bags. It's how people get duped into buying fake bags because the seller puts a fake bag in a genuine box and carrier, it happened to someone I know and she was devastated but also confused how the box and bag were genuine but the handbag wasn't.

Do you guys think Chanel is still worth buying? (In your opinion). I.e. would you buy Chanel bags at the current prices? Whenever I look preloved I feel like they’re either the same or very close to the cost of a new Chanel, or they are very overpriced. It’s so expensive now but I just love Chanel 😭
i dont think classic chanel is worth it, especially after they double the price these 3 years.
i prefer woc & seasonal pieces, still overpriced but not as extreme as those classic, as long as it has a flap & cc logo on it.
many people go for mini flaps.

i bought this messenger bag last month, around gbp3700. similar price to mini flap.
size is almost as medium flap. the interior (incl zip pocket) has pressed diamond pattern.

Gorgeous choice

I remember getting my first designer sunnies, picked D&G ones in Brown Thomas here in Ireland. The sales assistant flung them into a bag. I said emm sorry is there not a little cleaning cloth or something to accompany them. She turned around to me and said God you already wear glasses I'm sure you have something at home, I was shocked 🤣🤣
Ya like I'm gonna whip out the specsavers cloth for my nice D&G sunnies 🤪
Such a briar she was, she kinda ruined the experience
That’s fking awful. I know it would’ve ruined it for me too 😕 I have to admit my first experience was awesome.
We were in Rome and I went to Chanel and they treated me like I was the queen even though I only bought some sunglasses. The lady wore gloves and then wrapped them up so beautifully.
Honestly that is probably why I now love buying designer 😅

He’s saying he (and his dad) had several multi million £ business and he bought his house at a very young age.. 🤔



How long have they been together I wonder? She’s about 10 years older than him?
lol as if we needed more confirmation he’s a total bullshitter here it is. Think about it - you need a HMDI cable, where do you go? Amazon or ebay or maybe check in the tech section of your supermarket or maplin (RIP) etc? No one is looking for generic e-commerce websites selling this shit, building traffic to a website isn’t free or easy so there’s simply no way to create a multi million pound ecomm site overnight. Even Samsung struggle to sell d2c and yet here he is just smashing it? 🤨What’s the average order value or order frequency of a HDMI cable website - to have made millions it’d need hundreds of thousands of orders and be a pretty well known site right? Why doesn’t he name any of these businesses? Yes people make money from listing on ebay and Amazon and if he’d had said they were early doors and had a massive first mover advantage I’d be tempted to give him the benefit of the doubt but this is just such bollocks. Every company they’re listed on has huge liabilities and next to no cash at bank, none of these businesses are going concerns let alone multi million businesses. I mean hers has had someone (probs HMRC) contest a strike off cos it still owes money out 😳

I’m half tempted to make them a thread to watch this all unravel, it’s the biggest load of bollocks I’ve seen since realising what a fraud Jack Monroe is 😂

No, I am not wearing my balenciaga anymore, not a hope in hell. I only have two pairs of trainers and didn’t wear them much anyway. It’s not even just the photoshoot for me, it’s the other bits ie the legal docs and the barrowman (sp) books. It made me feel sick when I saw it all together.
I know they already have the money etc but their stuff is always logo’d or identifiable and I’m not walking around with something that has their name on.
