I saved (and spent) THOUSANDS | Seven bags I’ve had longest and what I paid

Here’s a story time video about the beginnings of my luxury bag journey. Learned a lot along the way. The price for this collection alone is crazy. Thank you to ‪@totesgene‬ for the tag. Original video • I SAVED THOUSANDS $ | ...

Wonderful collection. Loving the colour of the Sac de Jour! If you need a shoulder strap and you could not get a match, you could always use a contrasting colour and it would look like a deliberate decision, not just necessity! Thank you for the video!

Thank you for your comment! Always appreciated

Another fantastic video, thanks for sharing! I’m always interested to hear when the “handbag bug” bit, so to speak. It’s funny how it becomes an obsession so quickly 😂 You have such a wonderful collection and I love the variety.

[@houseofmarksman]

Thank you for your compliments. I have to be very selective now because I don’t want to add something new that will make an existing bag feel redundant or inferior. Have you shared when the bug bit you yet?

Love love love your tricolor Loewe Puzzle! Kinda regret purchasing a solid color small puzzle for my first as I feel the tricolors make the puzzle pieces stand out more.

[@houseofmarksman]

Thank you for your comment! Fortunately the tricolors are available on the preloved market at a discount so you have a wide selection to choose from.

[@atmd.2023]

I wish that was the case@@houseofmarksman! The preloved market for Loewe, especially for the Puzzles, have been ridiculous the past few months. Most are now priced just below retail, no thank you. LOL

I did an AUD to USD conversion to somewhat justify my sneaker purchases. The Rimowa Bag $1172 is equivalent to 1 Prada Sneakers. The CD Book Tote at $3027 is equivalent to 2 Prada sneakers and a fancy dinner for four...LOL. $3058 for the Loewe Puzzle Bag = 2 Prada Sneakers and dinner for 4. The LV bag is $2512 equivalent to 2 more Prada sneakers and some change. The Blue Loewe bag $2029 also costs nearly 2 Prada Sneakers. $985 for Burberry + Airpods Case $193 + Saint Laurent $1114 = 2 Prada Sneakers. Total $14,081USD = 11 Prada sneakers. YIKES..LOL. And you have more in your collection besides the 7 mentioned. OMG! That's a lot $14,081 in 3 months. You have a great job! I do agree. Once you can get past the first sticker shock, anything after is easy. Unlike you, I need to really take home the item, in my case, sneakers, to see if it will pair with everything I wear and whether I will get my cost per wear, otherwise I will return the item immediately. You have a great collection. I, on the other hand, need to slow down, and truly enjoy and wear the sneakers I have. Great video. What's your next bag purchase?

[@houseofmarksman]

I’m impressed you did your math too. I don’t know the full extent of your sneaker collection but do you have about the same number? I definitely tapped into my rainy day savings for this because it was feeling like the end of the world anyway so why not just blow it on fun stuff. And that is a sensible way to purchase things. But do you find that trying to keep your sneakers matching with your outfits causes less variety? Thank you for your compliments. I have slowed down as well and reusing older bags these last few weeks has made me appreciate them even more. I’ve got one bag from LV on my list for Christmas but that can change depending on if it is still in stock by December.

@@houseofmarksman For example, The two Christian Louboutins I bought, I had to return both. I couldn't last more than 30 mins. wearing them in-house - stiff and uncomfortable. Any sneaker(s) that doesn't pair well with outfits will most likely be worn with shorts and its sort of a waste, at least for me, to buy designer sneakers for only that occasion. Anyway, I look forward to the LV unboxing should it still be a consideration.

[@dapperlygrungy3189]

I like the design concept of these bags, but the compartment is very small.

[@lesliechik3766]

I don't have any luxury brand goods but I am planning to buy a Louis Vuitton mens wallet. Do you have any suggestions? I just want to flex but with a low budget haha

[@houseofmarksman]

Subtle flexing can still make a good impression and elevate your look. If you are budget conscious then you can get a cardholder. If you want a bigger impact then pick a Zippy Organiser or a Brazza wallet because it has more surface area of canvas print.
