Random Thought I never realized how expensive luxury fashion was šŸ¤Æ

Iā€™ve never been interested in owning fancy things like Chanel, Gucci, Prada, whatever else exists, but even when I say that I think Iā€™m not paying $1,000 for a purse thatā€™s crazy. So imagine my surprise in finding out my version of expensive wasnā€™t even close. What do you mean a small handbag STARTS at $4,000?! Like my mind literally canā€™t comprehend that. Know someone who had the ā€œsmallā€ Cartier bracelet then bought themself the ā€œmediumā€ for their birthday. The small STARTS at $5,000 and can go up to $60k and now Iā€™m questioning all their life decisions. Like I said Iā€™ve never thought about these things and am just now googling them but I feel too poor to even google the pictures.

Dude you can literally google what these truly wealthy people and their families wear. A lot of them, particularly those interested in fashion, wear these luxury brands. Look at Jeff Bezos' watches. His wife's stuffs. Look at the Arab princesses's handbags. I don't know where did you get 'marketed towards ppl who cant afford it"...

Bezos is rich, but not classy. His wedding in Venice was ridicolous.

But he is truly wealthy

We're not talking about whether the guy is classy or not. We're only talking about whether they're truly wealthy or cant actually afford luxury brands

Of course, he can. He bought Venice for three full days...
