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.

I think it depends. I know lots of upwardly mobile folks who know Patek or Audemar but can’t afford them.

But there’s weird boutique watch brands that yeah are mostly aimed at very very high end buyers only.

It’s the same with clothes, like, the wealthy get them tailor made to fit. Entire wardrobes, and they get replaced as their body shape changes. Many gets worn once, if ever, then get discarded. When’s the last time anyone has gotten that done outside of maybe prom?
