I have my eye on an LV belt, really really want it but I have no other designer clothes/bags etc I hope to add some pieces over time
My question is am I gonna look stupid with an LV belt and a pair of zara jeans
It's not in your face it's a 20mm belt

Get the LV belt 😊👏🏼
A lot of people have luxury bags and accessories but not clothing. I'm one of them and I don't think it matters at all.

Yeah they’re horrible, I was really disappointed. I am very girly and love girly touches to all of my stuff so I was hopeful for this. I think the iconic Tiffany colour is very hard to match with anything else. I would have preferred a white and silver shoe with tiny Tiffany blue touches.

As someone who's visited flannels warehouse, as well as other retailers Selfridges etc, I would never buy from flannels (or any other SD shop). They treat their stock with as much care as the stock for HOF. I'd imagine that staff working there have similar working conditions to Amazon

100% this. I’d argue worse than Amazon, iirc no one’s been given no choice but to give birth in the Amazon warehouse toilets?

I know this thread tends to do more shoes & jewellery, but just looking at a Stutterheim raincoat - are there any other brands along these lines anyone loves that I should check out before committing, please? I’ve had a rains jacket before and it was okay, but their colours are v Kardashian atm which isn’t for me 😳

Ilse Jacobsen is nice. And not designer but I have a Kin raincoat/parka from John Lewis and I've never had so many comments on a coat or had so many friends buy the same one. I absolutely love it - it's got a great shape and looks much more expensive than it was. Here's the (non aff ;)) link, I have the olive green

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🫠 😳

I love his videos! He’s called “tanner_leatherstein” for anyone interested and is on tiktok too. Iirc he rated Loewe quite highly but apart from them pretty much every luxury brand he’s noted you’re paying a premium for branding over quality. Which is pretty known anyway? Similarly with vintage > modern day.

I'm gonna keep using my balenciaga bag cause it's one of my favourites and I spent my hard earned cash on it tf. I'm not making a political stance with it

If I took a clutch bag to Ibiza I can guarantee I would put it down in a club and loose it 🤣

It seems on tiktok a lot of people believe they have the lifestyle they portray.



it’ll be it interesting to hear if people have bought from them. According to their FAQ you need to show 2 forms of ID to purchase. And I find their online return policy a bit odd - only 48 hours to decide you want to return.

Honestly pls don’t buy anything from them as there will be absolutely no recourse if anything goes wrong, they’ve got £800 cash at bank and are apparently hoping to meet £153k of liabilities using £160k of illiquid stock? Looks like a shit show wouldn’t even buy an extension cable off them much less a bag.

is the brand Polene considered luxury? It seems like a brand only pushed by influencers bc they're paid to promote it. the bags are cute but I don't get luxury vibes from it

Wow great detective work. @heretoreaditall2019
I always had a feeling it was all a facade.
No billionaire screams I am a billionaire. Most billionaires want to hide as they are targets and want to stay on top.
As I have got older I have realised the more people scream about their wealth it means they are lying especially on social media.
Only very few are super wealthy and love to scream their wealth.
They are clearly doing it for the likes on instagram to create an income stream.
