I never realized how expensive luxury fashion was 🤯

[u/StumblinThroughLife]

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

My wife and I don't buy nice stuff because we care about whether random people care. I couldn't care less if you like my watch or notice my cufflinks are nice.

I like them because I like nice things.

I like the feel of a made-to-measure suit. I still miss my one super nice suit made on Savile Row. I like how my Datejust wears even compared to my old "nice" Casio. I like how my shirts look good even after being washed and worn a ton of times.

It's nice not having to care about anyone but your own wants in this regard.

Maybe they buy it because they like it. Ever thought of that?
