Her bag choice is just like her style, pretentious, dated and wannabeI looked randomly on Vestaire Collective for that "super expensive Chanel bag" as Elle called it and this one looks a lot like hers, except it's silver instead of black and the medium size (aka. most popular size) instead of what seems to be the small size of hers and it's less than 3k. Not saying it's a cheap bag by any means but Elle is definitely trying to present her pre-loved purchases as these super exotic/rare/expensive things when they are easily found on pre-loved sites at about half or less than half of retail price. She's basically paying around YSL + a bit more prices for her Chanels so no wonder she has to buy ugly and outdated colors/styles/materials. Pretentious and misrepresenting things as usual.
Also this so called "exotic" leather (I HATE that they felt the need to kill poor stingrays for this!) and bag style is still much cheaper than a classic medium black Chanel flap with gold or silver hardware in both the preloved market and the Chanel boutique, and I suspect this is why Elle buys styles like this. It makes her look like she's buying Chanel, and even "exotic" (presumably expensive at first glance) leather, but at a much lower price. Eleanor Florence is so fake and all about presenting an image of having money/expensive thing, and has awful taste in fashion.

My Private Jet is a really ugly color that I wouldn’t wear as nail polish, bag, or anything else.They are indeed OPI nail polish. See below.
How much was her salary?she expects us to believe she bought all her bags on her average salary.
Kim K loved it, that's probably why she liked it.My Private Jet is a really ugly color that I wouldn’t wear as nail polish, bag, or anything else.
Who knows, but wasn't she admin in the law firmHow much was her salary?
Probably $75k tops.How much was her salary?
She was an investigator at a mutual fund company. She worked there for 5 years, my guess her salary was probably around $80-$70K annually. I don’t think she made terrible money but still not enough to live her life style and save. She spends every penny she has and is clearly counting on family money/marriage as her retirement plan.Who knows, but wasn't she admin in the law firm
Yes, it seems like the numbers probably (used to) add up, except, of course, at the end, her balance is zero! Meanwhile, she’s single, has no kids, and no student loans. There’s no excuse for not having some money saved up, and I don’t mean a savings account with a few thousand dollars. The worst of it is, she’s smug about it. In her latest video she seemed proud to have purchased most of her handbags herself. She blew thousands of dollars on handbags (at least $25,000 perhaps? Has anyone tried to add it up?) and has nothing to her name except for what she will inherit from her mother.Honestly it’s quite possible for her to buy all her bags on her investigator salary (75k) & YouTube/business income (anywhere from 20k to 60k in prime Joe era with tons of content and pearl shilling) & Adjunct teacher income. Her bags are largely off-season, second hand. Or lower priced bags. It’s all a facade with her “classic” taste and luxury collection.
At least 2 years in Vancouver was rent-free. Notice that she spends the most during these periods when a boyfriend is footing the rent.
Let’s not forget she literally spends only on herself and she’s very cheap with others.
She doesn’t spend on travel. She only travels to Hawaii on Ginettes dime or with partners (Chris)
Of course it doesn’t mean that it’s wise for her to do so! She spends without thinking about retirement or to plan for investment properties / build a share portfolio etc
agreed she was falling over her words to justify herself, why not just admit you are spending your mothers money.She says she doesn’t read these forums but she most definitely does. She keeps justifying herself in her videos lately in response to whatever is being discussed here.
I calculated that all her handbags are worth $55,000. Hard to say if she spent that exact amount of them as the beige Gucci Soho bag and Mulberry Lily were gifts. At the same time, some bags she bought brand new are now discontinued so in my calculation I had to use lower prices of the ones I could find on the resale websites.Yes, it seems like the numbers probably (used to) add up, except, of course, at the end, her balance is zero!

My impression is outside of maybe her childish pink Chanel bag with the handle on top which Ginette paid for from the boutique, all of her bags were individually under 3k, including that ugly stingray Boy (which I found yesterday on a pre-loved site for 2.6k and she bought it before all the price increases this year so it was probably for even less) and blue Boy that looks like a yarn factory threw up all over it. The rest of her bags were probably 2k each or less given a good chunk of them are preloved and most of those bags don't retail for over 2k new from the boutique.the figure should be well under 40k because at the time of purchase, prices were much lower. For instance, as she said in her video, at the time of purchase of her Chanel WOC, prices were way lower. Inflation and price increases by designer houses have gotten crazy especially in the last few years - she admits she’s has been buying less in the last 2 years in the video by saying she wants to maintain a classic style (LOL she wishes! The slowdown in shopping is because of poor life choices draining her disposable income (eg Florida move) definitely not by choice or greater self control)
Half her bags are pre-loved and not popular or classic styles / colors which can get you at least 50% off retail.
Chanel has 2 price increases a year and this year, their classic range increased prices by 20%. This affects the prices you are searching for on resale sites because the preloved prices go up to match the current retail price. So you have to discount these prices by 25% or more depending on how far back she originally purchased the bag
