2023 Designer Items on EVERYONE'S Wishlist...(USA VS. EUROPE)

[@blaquecat]

another data analysis! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 you give us haul, you give us try on fashion styling , you give us podcass, we are spoiled by it all. I personally LOVE this series of your video. Thanks so much Cassie for another great video

[@CassieThorpe]

Aahhh you are the sweetest!! So happy you like these kinds of videos 🥹💖

[@KayMay12]

Ditto!! I love when Professor Cassie drops knowledge!

[@avacarter2724]

Totally agree!

[@bluebanisters2889]

Tiffany’s largest market is definitely the US. I read an article not too long ago about LVMH trying to expand its reach in Europe and Asia.

[@jessicadawson2353]

Yeah, it doesn’t surprise me that Tifdany is bigger is the US. It’s a NYC company, and it’s always had a very “American” feel to me:

[@Alisha-hs8xj]

In Sweden we only in the last year or so got a Tiffany store so I definitely think it’s less common here. I think it’s cheaper to buy jewelry from the top brands in EU direct from the boutique like Cartier. The used jewelry I’ve seen for sale on Vestiaire is higher priced than new from boutique 😅 I think it’s mostly sellers and buyers in Asia because it’s less easy to come by there but here Cartier is quite common and prices are better than outside EU.

[@Jeanniewhatnow]

The fact that stud earrings is the most searched for in San Francisco doesn’t surprise me. I have an east coast approach to fashion and felt out of place living in the San Francisco Bay

[@bluebanisters2889]

Same here! It’s very jarring

[@sams3015]

Cassie, the analyst in you is popping lately. I am confident in 25 years time, people will be reading the Thrope-port on fashion

[@ThanhMaiNhữ-p9w]

When I hold a etcom handbag, I feel like I'm holding a piece of luxury art. Beautiful design and meticulous craftsmanship make it a true masterpiece.

[@johnanthonysmith]

St. John gaining popularity! I always think of my grandmother and mom dressy jackets and blazers!

[@rosesb]

Thank you Cassie! Love these fashion data analysis topics! I know this might be a hard one, but how about a deep dive about the luxury market in Asia? Asian shoppers are a HUGE player in the global luxury market and I think you would nail it.

[@sarizonana]

I’m not from Asia but I’ve heard how in china the lines get into Louis Vuitton are endless, like it’s one of the popular stores in Asia

[@Amy-601]

Babe you’re becoming a Data Scientist 👩‍💻 everyday! Proud of you 👍! Love ❤️ that eye makeup 💄! It looks smashing! I think it is the Real Real too. Big hugs 🤗, Amy

[@sobe3328]

You are always keeping us well informed, thanks Cassie! ❤

[@digitalgrrl79]

I LOVE these analytical deep dives. I learn so much from your informative videos and am SO entertained by all of the other types. I especially love the shopping vlogs with Christiaan. You guys have BBFE (Big Best Friend Energy) and it's so engaging and uplifting. You make luxury fashion feel so much more approachable with your humor and being our virtual guide through these stores.

[@bimblaq]

Chanel22 which has major issues with leather peeling off is supposed to be an investment bag.. i’m shocked😮

[@forever-rosebud]

Hi Cassie! Another great one, as always. Have no idea if this would interest you, but I have a video suggestion: there's an ongoing idea about certain brands not holding their value on the resale market; however, is that still true or is it one of those things that we keep repeating as a fact (because it was once so), unaware of that not being the reality anymore? The constant price increases seem to be having an unexpected effect: some brands, like Dior and Prada (among others), appear to be performing much better (increasing their "investment" value); other brands (traditionally viewed as the "good investment" ones) not so much (example: it used to be a certainty that you could always sell your Chanel or LV bags for a profit, or at least without loosing money, but that doesn't seem to always be the case anymore... Not sure if this would be of interest, but hope so :) Congratulation on the new podCASS, by the way! What a fabulous name :))) 💛

[@CassieThorpe]

That is VERY MUCH OF INTEREST and an excellent video idea! I’ll start getting to work! So happy you like the podCASS (the name was Nii’s idea) 🙈💖💖

[@Stylehit247]

Tiffany’s is huge in US such a great brand with awesome customer service. Love the data ty Cassie

[@em84c]

I find it so interesting what items are popular in each area. Great video!

[@girlinthecity6075]

This is such a great idea!!!! We love a good analytical video ❤

[@oversixtyandsassy9553]

I have a collection of Tom Ford Gucci.(and YSL I was a fanatic) Plus a few pieces with tags still on. Sold a lot of the shoes though but still have quite a bit left. Enjoyed this vid!

[@CassieThorpe]

That is amazing!!

[@vetpig1454]

Great video!🎉 I am curious about the impact social media influencers have had on the rise of some of these bags, e.g. Bottega and Loewe.

[@CassieThorpe]

Oohh good question!

[@meaty7512]

Looking more at vintage bags now. Eyeing the Hermes Massai bag and the Chanel Kelly party!

[@CassieThorpe]

😍😍

[@kathleenharris8824]

Very fascinating! Lately, I have been getting into Burberry shirts and bucket hat the vintage check patterns. I also bought the men’s shirt because it was more reasonably priced. Cassie, why are men’s items better priced? I would love a video on your thoughts on this.

[@alexjohnson2537]

Lovely, hello to mum and dad also x

[@BrownGirlBella]

New to your channel and I too love and review luxury - mostly makeup but I love my bags and shoes too! Great video, very insightful

[@AMLhui77]

Dallas girl signing in here 😂 proud of our city haha

[@CassieThorpe]

YESSS 😂🙌🏽

[@l.q.1253]

Hi Cassie.. Interesting report. I'm a little surprised St. John isn't more out there. They have some very classic pieces.

[@annabless2447]

Good morning my Cass Cass!!!! Hope you’ve yourself a spectacular Labor Day weekend ❤❤… always appreciate your fashion input.

[@CassieThorpe]

Wishing you a fabulous weekend 💖💖

[@minneapaulis]

As a data analyst for my day job, LOVED this and appreciate the call out that it’s not apples to apples cause that’s important! Random, how often do you dust the open bag shelving behind you? 😅 I want to display my stuff but am worried about dust lol

[@CassieThorpe]

Aahhh this means a lot from a data analyst! And I check on them every month or so and do a dust 💖

[@gneissschisty]

I’d love to hear your opinions on the real real (specifically the allegations that the Authenticators aren’t actually qualified & the issues that arise from that 👀)

[@CassieThorpe]

Ok so from what I know allegedly, their turn over of staff is super high and so they’re hiring people who aren’t trained authenticators and are training them on the job but yes I’ve heard they’re having issues!

[@tygressblade]

These resale venues online and in person really making their mark in the industry. I wonder if the fashion houses are using influencers to drive that secondary market?

[@lizp.6585]

Great information, love it. I see you are mixing different color jewelry. Time and time again I read and hear that you can do that but I actually don't know anyone who does mix white and yellow or rose gold items.

[@poohhunnypot]

Please, what eyeshadow are you using here? I have seen you do this look before and would absolutely love to know!! It is beautiful!

[@Chicprofessor]

Yay! So glad you did this and really love the direction you took it :) You know I always love the analysis side and am so happy so many others agree!

[@kerrygrella9608]

St John is in Nordstrom in Boston

[@alotofmore]

“Dallas girls are spending” And boys!!!!

[@ivycuellar433]

Thank you for the Houston shoutout! We love you!

[@MissLexi920]

I’m in the SF Bay Area and I do love a stud earring but I was looking for them. This is interesting!

[@mrdisco99]

Are you wearing a Chanel J12? Would love to see a watch collection video.

[@Kbydfrsghusy]

Such a great video. I have to agree, I have seen St. John, only on older ladies in the USA. Seems like quite of a niche brand .

[@colourfull07]

Great vid as always! I've been wanting to get the speedy b for AGES! and just heard about their, yet again..., price increase coming in Sep in Europe. Have you heard more whispers about that?? soon the price increases of these brands are just gonna be quarterly like the season

[@melissan9199]

Out of pure curiosity- do you own and or use bags that are not high end designer? I often think I will get rid of anything not high end but I do like some of them….

[@marcopaulomendoza5337]

Our girl Cassie did it again! More of these please! Greetings from Manila, Philippines!

[@Dwightinho56]

Loved this❣️I just knew Tom Ford for Gucci would be a thing again, I have pieces to sell. I think🤣 (love them, but don’t fit anymore). How about Tom Ford for YSL🤔? Almost better😉.

[@ThaSweetHart]

The Dallas girls are down there spending that oil money!

Love ur videos as always, and I LOVED ur podcast as well! 🎉

[@JenniferRouse]

I love all your videos, Cassie! I'm excited to listen to you podcast! Where do you get your fashion stats and news from?

[@Elizabeth_lowkeyluxuries]

I'm the cool great aunt because of Cassie keeping me up to date in the fashion world😂😊

[@revaconescu6120]

Such a great video! so interesting to know different US cities have different top searches- and of course it makes a lot fo sense based on our various weather patterns and attitudes towards clothes. And the fact that DC's most searched item was bracelets makes a lot of sense, altho I wouldn't have necessarily guessed it right away- the rest definitely clicked as soon as you said them.I also thought it was interesting that Europe was searching balenciaga while the US wasn't- I know Kim kardashain saying she wouldn't wear it anymore might've had a bigger impact here State-side than in Europe but I have heard plenty of non-US influencers say they won't wear it anymore either.

[@ItsJustSimpleAsThat_Ang]

I love going to DC! The fashion is always on point

[@bostonluxmom]

This is a super interesting topic. Thanks Cassie!!!

[@supermanfan3806]

Love you so much Cassie you always make me smile and always brighten up my day your channel is amazing you will always be my favourite KZbinr and my inspiration ❤❤❤❤❤

[@CassieThorpe]

Love you!!

[@Nina-y8s6h]

Hi Cassie, love your videos. ❤. I would love to know what you think of Burberry being that you are from the UK. I love the brand, but not many influencers are talking about the brand. What do you think of their quality and style? Also as time permits can you do a video on luxury outlets, i.e. quality, is it the same as boutique and worth splurging on? Thank you! ❤❤❤

[@delicateflowerr3012]

I’m not surprised that Boston isn’t mentioned anywhere. This place is a style black hole but I’m doing my best to change that.

[@crystalcandles752]

I wish they did Atlanta in the report!

[@DesireeGonza]

This very interesting. Thanks ❤

[@businesslifestyletanjagratza]

I need to watch it a second time to take notes 😅 Love it!

[@CassieThorpe]

😂💖💖

[@lolipena8051]

shocked about the YSL icare. which makes me think maybe i should take the plunge, however what if they bring out a medium/smaller version. then i might take a loss on selling the bigger one to get the size that will it me better.

[@natasa3412]

Wonderful analysis video🥰💖

This is my first (but not the last) purchase of a *hidupsbag* bag. For the affordable price, it exceeded my expectations! It's soft, the perfect size, and the color is gorgeous! Love this bag!

[@sarahcampbell3012]

This was interesting!

[@cwynn1547]

I’m most surprised about St. John. I have a Marie Grey navy wool boucle suit from the 90s, above the knee skirt. The jacket has detachable navy faux fur cuffs and collar. It doesn’t fit me anymore, I really should sell it. But I bought it from a boutique on a layaway plan the day I started my doctoral studies, and the last payment on the day I deposited my dissertation, 3 years later. I should check the price on the LV doctor bag, the one you showed here has the dog on it, not sure if that’s its main value. Over the years the resale has not been good on the plain bag.I think I paid $1100 in 2001, seen it going in the $300-ish range in the past, no way I’m selling it for that. They can bury it with me. It has my important papers, my grab-in-case-of-fire bag. 😅

[@Wendys_lovinglife]

I live in Southern California and I wonder if "reselling" is trending in LA because of all of the smash and grabs and now these thieves need to offload their stolen goods.

[@theperfectbelle]

I have purchased and sold with The Real Real before - they have definitely gotten worse as time has gone on. Everything is about intake/trying to make a buck. And then everything gets rushed onto the website so every now and again things are mislabeled/wrong pics. I will say that it can be a great way to find something for a good price (especially vintage) - but i do worry that they can't sustain the growth they have been having.

[@CassieThorpe]

I’ve heard the same sentiment from a lot of people! Great to find a deal but not great to sell through!

[@brigittebazel2754]

Skirts in Brooklyn makes total sense because there are many observant religious women who live there and need skirts below the knee for every day.

[@heatherschechter6758]

My guess would be that TheRealReal takes possession of all the items they sell -- they can root out fake jewelry and watches before they hit the platform. Vestiare does not take possession. They'll authenticate after the sale but they run the risk of having a site FULL of counterfeit merch that would/could drive down pricing for all jewelry. My two cents.

[@krystalwithakofficial]

Don't they sell St. John at places like Sears and JCPenney?...🤔

[@hackney36]

Dallas gay here and I can confirm the girls are spending 😂 it’s me the girls.

[@gregorwinningham]

In my opinion no girl should spend less than $200 on a replica because the potential is huge. Leather, box, dust bag, luybag only

[@nikineal69]

Brooklyn ----> Skirts.... the causation may be due to the high population of stylish religious women in that borough that cannot wear pants.

[@MirisIsrael-cy7ic]

Lots of skirt searches in brooklyn makes sence to me hense the very large jewish communities that practice modesty😊

[@therealmrsdiz4544]

Ebay is the biggest resale platform in the US, but you can buy/sell anything on it. Including a piece of toast that look like Jesus.... I think Poshmark is also bigger than the RealReal. I can't speak for all US citizens but I don't discriminate on what resale market I use. I like the RealReal, StockX, Rebag, Fashionphile, Yoogi's Closet, Ebay and Poshmark etc. You can find great deals and finds across the spectrum. Great content...but that map shows Chicago...that's actually the location of Detroit.

I hate Gucci on people in LA because it reminds me of those rabbit fur loud luxury loafer mule flats people would wear with the poor rabbit fur dragging on the dirty ground all over LA years ago. I loved Tom Fords Gucci. That was the only era I loved it. Otherwise its kind of trashy.

[@sepultina]

Interesting that European customer cares less about Balenciaga scandal.

[@sepultina]

@@amandak.4246 I believe this is because European ( older, wealthier) customer associates Balenciaga with the Balenciaga House rather than new street wear ( which I find overpriced, trolling and abhorrent) . May I also remind you that the campaign which caused so much controversy included images of North American case law concerning Supreme Court case United States v. Williams, a ruling that upheld the PROTECT Act, which increased federal protections against child pornography. This case is little known outside USA, though traction was definitely visible globally. I can tell you what I observed among young European professionals with access to good disposable income (and maybe with some college degree, but not particularly intellectually inclined) - Balenciaga is still going strong, trainers, streetwear and casual wear is seen as serious flex. I doubt any of the customers are aware of any controversies, they just follow loop feedback of their peers and copy each other inherently. Demna Gvasalia’s social and fashion influences always striked me as rooted in Düsseldorf ( he lived there from 2001) and that mix of trash, BDSM, “f… off” to the establishment seems to come from his German late teenage and early adult years. I am almost his age peer and that was my perception of fashion in Düsseldorf between 95-2000. In summary, for many your European youngsters the brand brings earning (or pocket money) potential and credibility. Pure flex with somewhat deluded and diluted pseudo punk attitude.

[@MariaRodriguez-om1yi]

So weird you showed the cherry speedy and not the Takashi Murikami wich is the number one collection of all time lol the Real Real sells fakes!!!!! why are you showing Chanel mini flops when you’re talking about the classic crap that doesn’t make sense that are two totally different things
