I think influencers and their freebies have cheapened luxury, who wants to spend thousands on a bag that loads of tacky influencers have been given for free.

[@sararichardson737]

That’s what it is.

[@sararichardson737]

What’s so sad is that it is a look that is rarely made chic by the consumer. Just because you have the It bag doesn’t automatically mean you have “It”. Truly chic people are creative with their style not copy catty. Sorry but that’s the truth. Luxury is cheap looking now and guess what? Common!

[@shereemorgan1430]

Truth!

[@choupette_]

They get it for free and say it’s all fabulous and beautiful. What happened to taste.

Thts why i stick with vintage. Quality is priceless.

[@carsondouglas8600]

Im investing in staple peices. Cardigans, Viscose pants, wool jackets, missoni pieces, Marni jumpers. No logos. Quiet Luxury is on trend.

[@darlahays2471]

I have been doing that for years. I avoid trends. I'm a firm believer in quality over quantity. I also, use bags that my mom passed down to me.

[@elenal2012]

​@@darlahays2471Me too. Her jackets from the 50's and 60's, beautiful classy vintage pieces, her blouses and two lovely vintage handbags. I don't realyy follow trends either. I have my own style.

[@phildendron4702]

I look for comfort, suitability, quality and beauty … doesn’t matter the brand.

[@masha22092000r]

Something VERY important to mention is the overall decline in quality. Take a Chanel Classic flap from 1983 and 2023. The new one looks fake in comparison. The stitching often isn't straight, the leather got worse and they stopped using real gold - opting for gold plating. But the price is so much higher. Why? Or LV. Their hardware is so fragile people buy special stickers to protect it from scratching. And don't get me started on their scarves. Basically the price went up. The quality went down. Not worth the money anymore.

[@ReynaldoAbasr]

BETTER TO buy those things in the 20th Century, but this century< ALL LUXURY MUST COME DOWN , OR WE WILL just delude ourselves

[@whatsup3820]

Luxury brands are cheapened by logos and by the type of people of wearing them. Look how trashy it has become in the hands of rappers, influencers....practically anyone. It now looks tacky and basic. People who buy clothing purely for brands have no style at all.

[@guerralg63]

There you go!! You're absolutely right!!! All the junk I saw in this video that's supposed to be high end luxury items look like cheap clown crap. Furthermore, Cardi B. Is not what I would consider to be a role model for taste and class.

[@aaronrandolph261]

yeah this stuff should be only for entitled white people or asians trying to emulate them right!? in my opinion if you have to flaunt your money by buying this crap truly rich people look at all of you as classless for doing so. so dont blame it on rappers and influencers for emulating the fools who started this trend of over consumption of luxury goods!

[@IchGluckspilz445]

100 percent. When degenerates and the clowns of society wear luxury, it loses its appeal.

[@avayu2289]

Well, when Cardi B and Kim Kardashian buy something, it cheapens the value. Quality and function set the purchasing impetus for me.

[@ReynaldoAbasr]

makes it look LIKE ITS FLAUNTS THE IMPERFECTION

[@for833]

My grandma was a very classy lady and I learned a lot from her. She taught me to look at pieces of clothing, inspect their fabrics and when to realize if they were of good quality. I think that has always stuck with me because I have never been into fast fashion. I unfortunately cannot afford luxury items, but I am for sure not interested in what everyone else is wearing even if I had the money. The LV bag was one of those. I used to love it when I first started seeing it and after everyone started wearing it (even some of my friends that I knew they were broke), I was totally put off.

[@Cantseemuch]

Yes! For me it was my mom, she taught me to sew and by now about half of my clothes are selfmade. I don’t like shopping anymore as well, because everything affordable looks and feels cheap. And I experienced the same thing with that Louis Vuitton bag. I found one in a secondhand shop in 2016 and now I’m happy that I did not buy it.

[@ReynaldoAbasr]

quality AND PRICE but not greed and stinginess of materials

[@wongfrancis]

Thanks for speaking the truth in your short but precise video! I think quiet luxury, less is more is a very good trend. I'm now buying luxury items, only if they are of very high quality, and are timeless styles I could enjoy for many years. I've saved so much money after I started doing that.

[@perspectiveofme]

Well said

[@deborahduthie4519]

Less is better. Less cannot be more.

[@ReynaldoAbasr]

high QUALITY, simple understated elegance without the influence of out dated POPULAR PEOPLE

[@soyasuwabe7898]

Tiffany increased a lot. The teacups I bought a few years ago are only $100 a set, now it’s $200.

[@macdonagh313]

I wonder if the tea tastes better in them now though?

[@sophiaelayne9984]

And I bet the ones there were at $100 are better made.

[@auxiliasequeira8648]

I also think, ppl also don't react to luxury items like they did in d past looking at others having it.....online has closed the distance and suspense of owning sumthg

[@liduvinae]

I think luxury brands need to realize how much they have being disrespectful to the brands and the consumer, now days there’s no quality control and sell anything por 900 usd, other brands just keep elevating the price without reason like Chanel. The perfumes omg so low quality and flankers everywhere. And it’s getting more expensive to dress that’s for sure, even in non luxury brands like Zara, now I only buy in sale because regular prices are to high and yes, people needs to buy searching quality, that last, make the money worthwhile.

[@JakeMcTevia]

i have a little over 100 items specifically from Versace. Yes. the quality has gone down substantially. Im not sure about the "fast fashion" part but ive noticed you dont always get what you pay for.

[@turtleanton6539]

Indeed😊

[@saragibbons]

Influencers and luxury shops making people wait in lines killed it for me. I would never wait in line to get in any store(unless it’s Covid guideline related ).

[@sophiaelayne9984]

At this point Hermes/LV are laughing at us. What has this come to when you wait for a brand to TELL YOU what handbag you can buy?! What the....?!!

[@ReynaldoAbasr]

@@sophiaelayne9984 BLAME IT ON THE CEO, God has better luxury for us waiting in the next AFTERLIFE UNIVERSE

[@justme-dq5sp]

i am not a fan of branded items... i go for really good quality and function. I can get really nice items for ten time less expensive or more for a more quality and functional items. I always think that those who buy "luxury brands" are merely victims of marketing craze... just my opinion, i could be wrong

[@shereemorgan1430]

I have some expensive handbags, which are quality but not designer. I am not into giving free advertising to any company. I don't see the need for over spending on any fashion item.

[@libafried5840]

People don't care about impressing others by paying for over-hyped items. Today the prices are ridiculously high but the quality has degradated significantly. These "luxury items" are luxury priced but not luxury quality.

[@ReynaldoAbasr]

God can tell, THEY WILL BE PUNISHED IN HEAVEN, for showing us cheap items of the Earth Life

[@winterbaby9208]

I am investing my money in gold 21k gold jewellery and hopefully levelling up into gold bullion coins

[@valeriemoore2762]

This is true for anything you buy, you only have time to use so much. We are probably b TT becoming more aware that our purchases may be compensation for low self esteem. External appearances can also be demonstrations of a need to fit in a particular group. True freedom is knowing what you need and want, and using that as your self guide.

[@wanderbear2171]

I dont like buying luxury items anymore i get tired of them anyways. Just need 1 or 2 is fine for special occasions

[@sophiaelayne9984]

I can't get enough. But there's really nothing to be found anymore. Everything is so poorly made...unless you go vintage.

[@ReynaldoAbasr]

@@sophiaelayne9984 UNLESS you go back to 20th Century,

[@athena3865]

I had a long, black silk cardigan that I wore for 30 years. I recently tossed it as it had fallen apart...I could have just stitched the seam, though 30 years is fair enough. Truly wealthy people buy the best of basics in a core wardrobe, then allow the investment to pay them back.

[@sisukonrad6325]

I agree your comments. For me the real luxus must be rare and discret. To wear a t-shirt with the name of the mark isent chic and a sign of luxus. Same with the handbags .🙄👎

Coach is definitely my addiction. My one vice. I never indulge in high luxury brands because I just can't fathom handing over $2,000+ cash for one bag! In Canada, the luxury prices are ridiculously expensive!! And at this point, the amount that I have spent on Coach bags is equal to an LV Speedy 25 and a pochette accessories. So, two LV bags versus many beautiful Coach bags. Take your pick! Is my collection very excessive? Absolutely! Yes, indeed!! But I enjoy having a lot of choice! And, I enjoy having a bag for every conceivable occasion! Is it time for me to stop my handbag purchasing? YES!! Will I stop? I don't know. 🤔 I definitely should stop. For now, I have 'purse peace'.... I think. Thank goodness my addiction hasn't spilled into any other area of my life! I keep my clothing for years and don't really enjoy shopping. In 2024, I endeavour to focus on a very minimal non-essential spending year and take it from there!

[@carolsaettele4524]

I like Coach, however, not the newer Coach with that little hockey logo near the Coach logo. I have my mom and aunt’s vintage Coach purses. Love them.

[@fredflintstone2234]

Wow, really? You couldn’t give me Coach.

[@vanessabogaert2104]

Add in the decline of quality and in the shopping experience. I was considering getting another Loewe puzzle bag, but the new version has less workmanship than my old ones for 30% more cost!!

[@xmochix604]

I’m just not into buying.. for me now it’s investments, increasing net worth, lots of savings, and retiring early before 50.

[@indigobluu]

If a baby got it, I dont want it 😂

[@doneshacotton4725]

I was never a luxury chaser. I did get bitten by the coach, coach outlet and Dooney bug last year but I keep it reasonable. So I switch a purse out every 3 to 5 weeks... But all this hoopla and fast fashion upsurge do contribute to the issues. I am pretty sure the rich don't go buying new stuff every week. Hence the reason the brands have been so dependent on Middle class spenditure. But I'm sorry those exorbitant price tags for poor quality is a big red flag. I rather get a really good puchette metis knockoff for 65 that ever pay 1800 or more. And bootleg luxury (is what it was called when I was growing up) is nothing new it been around for a long time

[@busranurkaynar2032]

totally agree…

[@stephm8962]

Luxury brands are not as durable as they used to be. Less expensive brands are bringing higher quality and better service.

[@curlyhairdudeify]

I saw two boxes from Hermés at my friends house..... My first thought. What a waste of money.

[@stanbalo]

The whole thing is saturated. It seems everyone has luxury goods nowadays and this idea is buoyed by seeing it on random people in social media. Luxury became cheap in this manner so the need and want will surely decline. Before, the influencers are celebs who were given free stuff. It gives brands a way better image as opposed to some influencer who had a following. Like in the video, you see that girl with a birkin and automatically i find it cheap already bec who the f is this girl?!? In this age of inclusivity, exclusivity in luxury brands is still essential and it should not be handled as if it is cheap fast fashion.

[@ReynaldoAbasr]

you need GOD , GOD IS THE ULTIMATE EXCLUSIVITY,. SATAN is lv

[@AdovianDones]

Luxury shopping will never be over. Luxury spending is though 😂 at least on perishable things

Zara isn't any luxury at all lol. Where I live is a nearly low cost brand. Real old money people never would buy anything at Zara. It's for peasants.

[@stickeroonie]

Zara has the absolute worst quality. It's fast fashion . No resale value. Yuck

[@janetfalconer2341]

I noticed it too. H&M is much better.@@stickeroonie

[@jkim010100]

when i hear about Recession, Cost of Goods, Gas Prices etc. I always look at the luxury market. Too many people complain about the economy but point out how they cant afford trips or luxury goods. these same people are not scared to be homeless or without food or have no social services available to them. These same people may own a home and cars and yet still think things are bad. Luxury Goods have made it easy to look rich. But in reality its just hiding the poor. Please stop buying luxury. At least for a while. If more people focused on actual necessities, prices for everything would be lower.

[@tarawhite4419]

[@theladynextdoor313]

Luxury isn’t even luxury though anymore. It’s all made more cheaply than ever before so the quality isn’t even there most of time because it all is sourced from China. And then the influencers ruined the rest with promoting this “image”. People with good taste and common sense aren’t interested. I can have impeccable style without the waste of these so called “luxury” brands. Luxury isn’t special anymore. Now find me VINTAGE real Chanel and I’d be interested, possibly…
