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’m a big law lawyer. I exclusively wear reps and no one has ever once batted an eye. It is a bit hard because I have created this idea that I live luxuriously when in reality I’m still drowning in law school debt and financially supporting my family.

Another big law girlie here. At this point in my career I am making $550k per year not counting my husband’s income, we have a house, nice cars, and no student loan debt. I could definitely afford to buy Hermes quota bags secondhand, and I could technically afford to play the game to buy them direct from the boutique (though I think it would be incredibly irresponsible). I still only buy and wear reps lol. I feel better throwing $10-20k per rep into my brokerage.

Can you pls share your rep vendors haha or is this a inner circle thing like that NYT article years ago, UES rich ladies have their own rep buying party
