How I Afford Luxury...

[@agentbagreviews]

I watched said video. It raised my eyebrows. I’ll never buy fake anything and dupes give me a bad taste in my mouth. I can just afford contemporary cause I LOVE the feeling of new now. And I feel like Coach/Longchanp/D&B/Marc Jacobs is luxury to me. One day if my income triples I may go back to Gucci and LV but as of now and this time of my life those brands I mentioned make my heart sing. My boys need college funds and cars soon. Joshie I love that you’re so authentic in your video. Like you’re disclosing everything and we all appreciate you. ❤

Same! I have mostly contemporary brands. They are luxury to me.

[@JoshieMichael]

Nothing wrong with loving contemporary and I respect your decision about college funds and cars.... it's a big deal being a parent and that definitely comes first. TFW and commenting ❤️

Great video! I'm sure there are many of us "smaller channels" who have authentic collections...if you are going to collect handbags, it's just the right thing to do! We should all buy at the level we can afford - there are great products out there, like Dooney, Coach, even Madewell - and many more for everyone's budget.

Exactly! TFW and commenting ❤️

I so agree, i see alot of larger channel’s where the bags are fake! Or items in general, not necessarily just bags. Its important to me to purchase what you can afford, withought purchasing fakes and pretending to be on a level you are not. 💚

I know exactly who you’re referring to, lol! When I watched that video, I was kind of shocked because I know the five or so luxury YT channels that I regularly follow absolutely only show authentic items. I really like her channel, but was put off when she warned about buying replicas from fellow You Tubers because if you regularly watch someone’s channel you just know them. Anyone that has followed your channel for any length of time “knows” you and wouldn’t even question something like that. My husband and I joke all the time about how much more money we’d have if we didn’t have children. Love the content on your channel and how you keep it real. Happy New Year! 🎉

[@JoshieMichael]

Thank you and Happy New Year to you and your family. ❤️❤️❤️

Hi Joshie. I don’t know anything about luxury but always learn something from your videos. TFKIT Thanks for sharing! Peace and love..Suz What ☮️💛

Loved your video - so interesting! I still love authentic Dooney and Longchamp as they are my favorites, and I learned so much over the years from your old videos. I can’t afford luxury, so I live vicariously watching your videos and other KZbinrs. ☺️💕

My late aunt, uncle and cousins used to live in South Bend. Used to go visit every year, then on to Chicago to see the rest of the family.

I would like to purchase bags from an outlet store, but I have heard they sell lower quality bags? It is true with Coach. Is it the same for brands like Christian Dior, or Louis Vuitton, etc.?

[@impursehappy2333]

Great video Joshie!😊. So yes I’ve gotten my luxury items from FashionPhile, I was lucky some years ago to get two preloved LV from EBay that are real, and bought a Speedy 35 new from LV as a graduation gift to myself. And gave a preloved Saumur away. I do buy from DB, MJ, LongChamp, Coach, etc., I save and I use Klarna a lot as well. I try not to spend too much though. TFS Joshie!😊❤

New subbie here! My wife and I love your videos. 😊

Awe thank-you! ❤️❤️❤️

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Thank you for the video. While I am 1000% certain that a lot of KZbinrs show fakes, it does not follow that everyone or even most are showing fakes! What people buy comes down to income levels and choices, the things we prefer, as you rightly pointed out! Have a fabulous 2024!

[@JoshieMichael]

Happy New Year!!!

[@Broadway789]

I miss your backgrounds. No plans on any in the future? 🙂

[@JoshieMichael]

Wach out for my next video I actually chat about that! ❤️

[@idaranwa4370]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this topic! I watched Dial M style for her take on this. She mentioned that LVLoverCC was legit and so was another KZbinr that she knew. I always wondered how can certain KZbinrs who have a family afford that kind of lifestyle consistently delivering luxury hauls?! I did ask a particular KZbinr from I think she is based in Ireland maybe but she didn’t answer my question. People always want to know how can people afford that kind of lifestyle. Especially when one works a standard job. We want to know the secret.

Definitely an interesting topic! TFW and commenting ❤️
