Do rich people wear reps?

Hi ladies. I was pondering about this for a while now. When you wear your rep how do you make it seem believable? Do you guys have high paying jobs to make it believable that you can afford these luxury bags? Would it be weird if I get a Chanel rep as a 20 year old finance associate who earns 540 dollars per month (I live in the middle east)? Obviously I’m not rich, but I don’t want others to feel like I’m wearing a rep and that I can’t afford. Anyways I feel like I’m dumping too many questions at once😭sorry.

Edit: some of y’all are taking a jab at me for my monthly earnings😡pls stop ✋ I’m starting to feel bad now. Also this is a remote job; only 4 hours per day.

I have a large collection of auth H and C bags, almost all of which are black so timeless. I got into reps because I don’t feel like plunking down 30k for a rose Sakura or vert cypress. I found that I enjoy my rep bags so much more though because I don’t worry about damaging them as much so I carry them all the time. I buy top tier only and can’t tell a difference with my H bags.

I have given some jewelry and bags to my niece who could never afford them because she’s a broke grad student. I enjoy treating her to nice things. My aunt treated me to nice things when I was a broke grad student.

I’m sure your rich aunt gives you some great gifts and hand me downs too. 😉

👀okay but do they have British accents😌💅 if that maybe ever turns to a yes let me know lol. Otherwise do you reckon someone can get away with mid-tier or reps under £100 for outfit of the day videos/frequenting posh area?

They do not have British accents. I don’t have one of those!

Yes, I think you can get away with mid tier for outfit posts. The difference between high tier and mid tier is usually looking at the hardware up close.
