Social media is ruining luxury in my opinion. I wholeheartedly agree with, “Buy Less, Choose Well, Make it Last.” However, I’m an eco-optimist and only buy luxury secondhand to support luxury minimalism. Who needs a wall full of shoes and bags?! It’s crazy 🤪

[@SuperDacob]

Thats a good approach… now if only everybody could properly be able to authenticate the second hand luxury pieces to have piece of mind, the luxury world would be a better place for all of us. Xoxo

[@victoriachen6879]

@@SuperDacob this is so true... i thought id buy second hand but my first purchase turned out to be a replica. good thing the owner didnt want any fuss and allowed me to return with a full refund but now im suspicious of everything labelled preloved online =(

[@Jennifer_Lewis_Beach_Living]

I agree. IMO, social media really cheapened the value of the well-known luxury brands (Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Hermes). I switched to luxury brands that are not well-known to the public but are well-known to those in the know, and I carry vintage alligator, crocodile and ostrich bags. I also have a custom made crocodile bag that I carry as well.

[@Jennifer_Lewis_Beach_Living]

You are 100% correct about the IRS rules regarding businesses. If you’re not making enough money, the IRS considers it as a hobby. I can also fill in some secrets on how these influencers can “afford” these luxury items: - the items are fakes - they’re renting the items - they’re second-hand - they’re involved in activities that they’re not supposed to be doing

[@islandgirl21131]

The dupes/fakes/inspired / counterfeit luxury items are incredibly good . They also duplicate the boxes, the paper bags, the dust covers. Nothing surprises me in the world of make believe.

[@HandbagDiva]

They’re easy to spot if you know the brands

[@lvluxdelight]

Everyone's financial situation is very different. I get many ppl asking me how I afford what I do.... My uncle passed away and was a multi millionaire.. He had no children and left a certain amount to be given yearly to his nieces and nephews.. There are 20 of us My hubby is also blessed to make very good money Because losing my uncle is a personal and very sentimental thing to me, I've never come out and answered "how do I afford what I do" in a video Truth of the matter is: it's very different for everyone and we shouldn't be judging how anyone affords what they do...bc no one would guess how I do.. That's for sure Truth of the mark

[@passionforfashion8106]

As a fashion Stylist, that already walked around the block... Fashion should be fun and if the brands are not bringing the quality anymore (or are too expensive, as most of them are), don't waste your money... There are amazing Brands out there you can afford, and the quality is great, like braun büffel for example.

[@totesgene]

This is a great topic. Thank you. This is something I wonder, too. My problem isn't wanting to keep up with anyone - it's seeing these beautiful things and just wanting them.

[@SuperDacob]

Its a problem all us bag lovers have 😭😭😭💖💖💖

[@HelenAvery]

As a fellow content creator I just want to say Dacob is really so smooth, it’s actually hard to appreciate his live-stream ability because it seems so effortless. Thanks for the consistent work you do, it’s not easy to show up so professionally with life’s ups and downs, but you always do!

My friend said she saw a fb friend in her city wearing a Diamond encrusted cartier bracelet and was shocked cuz no one she knew in her circle of friends would splash 6 figures on bracelets . Then she connected the dots . Her friend is actually a friend of my goldsmith friend. my goldsmith friend would go to hk to buy bulk copies of cartier bracelets to sell in our city. the bracelets would be real gold but costs very little vs the ones in cartier shops .

[@orianthi_elys]

Yup, i know afew people with similar bracelets.

[@amnamalik3730]

Very insightful! This is the new “keeping up with the Jones,” but to the 100th power. As someone who personally loves beauty and fashion, I have to watch my heart constantly. Being content with what I have, while still enjoying new pieces here and there!💕

Rich parents often times create narcissists and they feed off of attention and "Likes." It's very sad as there is no cure for Narcissist Personality Disorder and they are stuck like that for life.

There's also no cure for people with JUDGMENTAL SPIRITS like yours... You're obviously degrading others bc u can't have what they have Ask yourself WHY ANSWER: you're JEALOUS: one of the 7 deadliest sins for a reason

[@laerkekebaab]

I don’t know if it’s like that everywhere but I know from inside sources, that influencers literally just borrow clothes, jewellery etc from visual agensies here in Denmark. The creatives behind all the shoots.

[@seagreen2034]

I read that article. I thought it was odd she left off two obvious ones. Some show super fakes but use legit packaging to make it seem real. And some buy items for content & then later return or sell them.

[@itstimefortea4582]

Lol That seem so stressful to keep up a lifestyle mainly if you have to take them back each time 🥴

[@saes2715]

Likely she does that and won’t let out her big secret 🤫

[@donniedarko448]

[@eunicen.onyelobimba349]

I didn’t read the article but I’m almost 100% sure these two are the top 2 for influencers.

[@sarahszss]

How do you guys know they are superfakes?

[@sophieMW84]

Unfortunately a lot of influencers have to crowd source their self esteem. It’s sad really.

[@lvluxdelight]

Not true for me 😒

[@thatgirl1134]

Whilst I love luxury items I think that the level of consumerism is ridiculous sometimes … how many bags do you need ? 10/20/50? We are destroying our planet because we are never satisfied … also . All these items are so predictable and boring - someone showing off their stack - love bracelet / juste plus the van clef … I’ve seen it a million times before . There’s zero originality

[@thomastalks3841]

I have 2 luxury bags (1 LV keepall and 1 going out bag) and 2 everyday canvas back packs.

[@blippypippy8167]

But the views for these are through the ROOF.

[@TheCiamarie]

This, luxury fast fashion habits are crazy.

[@sophieMW84]

Bingo, they just want to be in the bag and jewelry club.

[@EbonyRivers1]

I’ve seen a KZbinr with a $200k collection. She says she can afford it, and it’s her money, but just, why? There’s so many wiser investments of your money. Wealthy people with class aren’t dripping with labels and don’t display their wealth like that.

[@staciarenee2982]

My sister married in to a very wealthy family, she could basically have anything she wanted money wise, but she was absolutely miserable. My husband and i always had to bust ass for what we have and she would treat me terribly!!! Come to find out, she was so jealous over my relationship and how much my husband loves me. She finally left him, and all of the money behind. She had to go back to work, and she told me she had all the money but she was DEAD inside. She would rather start all over with a lover who actually cares and loves her than stay rich with a husband who gave her plenty of gifts and money, but none of the important stuff like love, compassion, empathy, and intimacy.

[@HelenAvery]

Money really ain’t everything! It’s not easy to be married to most rich men (there are exceptions of course), glad your sis saw the light ❤️

[@lvluxdelight]

I see the light and still enjoy what I buy It's just important to have the CORRECT perspective Never put luxury on a altar in front of God, love, experiences, etc 💗

[@conniewesson4640]

I’m in the fashion industry & my accountant will not allow me to write off my luxury goods, makeup or hair. He says lots of people get into trouble doing this as the IRS only allows you to write off things specific to a job where you will not benefit from it after. Makeup & luxury goods can be enjoyed after the job so does not qualify. Wish I could do it but I prefer not to be audited.

[@mtngrl5859]

Some accountants are more conservative than others. For example, Elton John can write off all those glasses, they are part of his act. If it is necessary for one's business, then it can be considered a write off. I'm in sales and I wouldn't buy certain clothes if I wasn't in my profession, but that is not allowable.

[@fordlafemme]

I was just going to say this. You can't write it off.

[@tarreemhacaruso2687]

[@Aries.Goddess30]

[@jessicalovesluxedesignerfa3806]

Appreciate this REALNESS so much! It's easy to fall into the "oh my God, I must buy that too" type mentality, when watching the influencers... when the reality is that many influencers haven't bought these / return items etc etc. I think what I love about you (amongst MANY other things haha!), Dacob, is that even when you're doing an unboxing, you discuss WAY more than just the item itself. And not EVERY video is yet another unboxing. I was tempted to start a channel with an Hermès bag I got from FSH, but then I was all "But everyone else has better things, and QUOTA bags, not my mere Gold Mini Lindy" etc. Then I thought maybe starting with my LV Garden collection Neverfull.... and again, it turned into the "My collection isn't as good as...." etc etc. I 100% need to remember the influencer smoke and mirrors! And the "I'm a UK size 16", not a UK size 8, and no one wants to see that etc. You remind me that, just like TV and movies, Instagram and YT can be fakery! [Oh, God, I've written my usual tome. Embarrassing. 🤣]

[@AmandaVieiraMamaesouCult]

I hope you don't mind me saying this, but we absolutely want to see more sizes 16 in the fashion/beauty community :)

[@AmsInTheMitten]

The serial returners are hilarious. Seen one woman purchase, unbox, use in public then return two different bags (different dates) to Dior in the past 6 months.

[@lvluxdelight]

Uhh, that's horrible!

[@Wentletrap213]

I don’t get these people! Returning is such a pain.

[@catarinasimoes1532]

This is why I only follow influencers that are more closer to my own reality!

[@lovefashion504]

A lot of people are saying that influencers buy and return. How can you buy and return 5,10,15 bags? Wouldn’t you get banned or refused to return? Also a lot of KZbinrs are showing their collections and they do have 40-50 bags. So confusing

[@lvluxdelight]

Exactly.... You're wise love I never buy to return.. Especially for views.. It's a hobby for me That would be a little desperate and I honestly don't think the vast majority are doing that I just enjoy lux bags but always speak inspiration bc these are just items.. They will never give true happiness like love can 💗

[@saekuto]

I honestly could not keep up with the fake lifestyle 😂 it's a whole job!

[@alicesings1971]

Same ! The fake lifestyle can be so stressful. Being that materialistic robs our soul. Jmo

[@lvluxdelight]

It's not a fake lifestyle if you're just buying and enjoying Also, I let me friends/sisters come over and borrow my bags I've given 2 LV bags to my mom and many slgs I gave 1 ysl loulou to my Fraternal twin sister Doing KZbin and Instagram is a HOBBY for me; as it is for most luxury KZbinrs Obviously life would be horrible if I accepted the label "trying to keep up" 😒 But that's simply not how my life is No one knows what I've recently been thru No amount of money could bring a child back

[@monimarz]

If you run your social media business correctly you can have many avenues in which you are earning top figures. I think as an audience we are all aware of how these influencers earn the coin to afford the consistent "hauls", but that well will dry up if their only content is luxury spending. Not many people stick with the same influencer as they evolve and mature. Priorities change and many social media product pushers have to alter their content. Some of the hauls you see may have been purchased a month ahead or have been put aside until a specific time in which there is a dip in views. Everything is strategic and if you are paying attention to the influencers you watch many will create content patterns. I am 43 years old and I have seen 22 year olds buying Birkin's, clearly there are an absorbent amount of variables at play, but it makes me wonder what are some of the stats surrounding consumerism patterns and age groups? I am curious whether marketing is creating FOMO more often in younger generations or is it impacting older cohorts more often? If anyone knows I am highly interested.

[@missmm1302]

Dacob you are the only luxury brand commentator I love to watch in terms of opinion and insight. Also I think your a darling and so much fun ! I’ve been purchasing some of these brands for many years and I’ve become very disillusioned with the quality and also conniving sales techniques of recent times. I don’t buy these items for status , I buy for myself and my own enjoyment. Some pieces are timeless and I defend anyone who is an enthusiast. As much as I love Chanel or Hermes bags, hell will freeze before I ever contemplate grovelling to purchase one. I value my dignity more than a Birkin. However , the more I see social media celebrities and read about peoples purchasing experiences I just cringe. If anyone tries to keep up with the Joneses, Kardashians or anyone else you’re doomed to misery and bankruptcy. This comes with age and the realisation that owning a few things made well and to last is enough. I update now and then when the need arises but I’m not obsessed with owning the latest anything. Look towards vintage for a truly fulfilling fashion experience and showing your own innate sense of style.

[@SuperDacob]

I'm tired of the "luxury lifestyle" pics on IG because it's over saturated and there's no way all of those people got it like that. On a side note.... I will not be getting the book tote.

(USA) here.... A tax write-off is only if you are making money to begin with. If you aren't making enough to write it off then, it's a loss write off LOL. Also, uniforms cannot be written off anymore even for 1099's as in self employed. I used to be able to write off my scrubs for clinical days for my contract work (I'm a medical physicist). Not anymore. Also, paying your CPA, gets deducted the following year. In any event if they film it and talk about it they can write it off. However, recently, IRS said goods for work have to be kept separate from personal wardrobe for it to be a write-off. They are on them hahahahahaha. No more Dior to enjoy and wear around then just simply write it off.

[@akneemoose3383]

[@haiji1996]

I agree with that comment mentioned by someone saying that it's sad that people base their self esteem on luxury items. I realize that some luxury KZbinrs appear to be insecure and have low self esteem. For example, they used to be poor, they used to be bullied, they are immigrants or minorities, they seem to have some sense of inferiority. (I don't mean to discriminate immigrants or minorities, I myself used to be a minority when I used to live abroad) I love my collection of luxury handbags because I think they are so pretty and I can enjoy fashion with them, but my self esteem and self worth are entirely based on things other than handbags. Also, a luxurious lifestyle is not only about handbags. It is a comprehensive lifestyle including various factors such as classical music, art masterpieces, Michelin star awarded cuisine, etc. I travel to Paris mainly to appreciate the art museums, and luxury boutiques are only a secondary purpose.

[@AmandaVieiraMamaesouCult]

I understand what you said about minorities. When you're underprivileged, it's easy to turn into consumerist validation once you're better off, because these are traditional ways society gives the respectability we crave. It's a trap, one that we must be aware of.

No item luxe or not gives a person their true self worth & esteem. Most Insta followers know that there’s a fair bit of “skullduggery” behind the scenes & not everything is as it seems. Be kind, compassionate & considerate to others, have a great day 😘💐🇦🇺🇺🇸

[@inkyw9469]

Thank you for giving this insightful information. I was just really simply curious about this. How on earth can they afford all these??? Watching a couple of youtubers - they constantly, I mean, constantly buying birkins, kellys, high-end LV pieces, chanel, in all kids of colors and sizes, all these luxury jewelry, designer clothings, shoes, even home stuff... but then almost always, they have a video of them explaining how they are not "super rich" and they had humble beginning, they managed their money well to be able to afford things, etc. I mean the level of consumerism and spending - having major unboxing of so many items several times a month - it does not seem to be something you can do with just being smart with money. One time I was even wondering if one of the youtuber's husband was a pyramid scammer or something (as she always hides his face) lol.

It's not your business Don't worry about it Worry about your own money

[@Wentletrap213]

Bag, borrow, or steal

[@roseg1333]

If you over consume and have to have all the latest bags maybe therapy might be a good idea, we really don’t need more than a few bags at a time unless it’s your business of course.

[@lvluxdelight]

It's really different for everyone I don't need therapy bc I buy a lot of bags I buy them bc I enjoy using them I also know they're just materialistic items; that's why I always share insightful spiritual messages in each video Truth is: we can't really judge if someone needs they just bc they enjoy collecting bags as a hobby 💗

My first time watching you Dacob, I literally typed a comment wondering how you afford so many Chanel and I erased it as I didn’t want to be forward but I’m so curious how you afford?

A lot of brands also just lend influencers things for photos

[@christallaktorides6904]

I do wonder how They can afford all those bags that serve as a backdrop for their videos

You can write of luxury clothes here in the USA 🇺🇸 if you are a public figure that gives speeches.

[@ruedeluxe]

As you probably know... the lame lame crap jewelry "brands" that offer fake promotion deals... eventually try to get you to pay for them 😅😅😅😅😅... it sounds like that girl is having some wishful thinking... i have almost no followers and they contact me 😅😅😅😅

[@nancyprivate6774]

How many bags does one person need? I have bought too much and am trying to pair down. I admit I get FOMO but am working on that - and - I do not envy the wealthy - many of them are miserable

[@SuperDacob]

Good points Nancy. Thank you for sharing. I am working on the FOMO too 😭😭💖💖

[@lvluxdelight]

And many poor people are miserable We really shouldn't judge and you're right: never b envious of others 💗

[@hautepinkrae8084]

Is FOMO just the younger generation?

[@maryrobby7134]

Also they quickly sell their other items right away. I think that is a large part

[@saes2715]

Yes , esp if the items are purchased overseas , you can get tax refund and sell the item back home a bit cheaper

At Scorpios in mykonos, every single young girl had a designer bag and most were dead set rented, borrowed or fake. Everyone was out there ballin but on the ferry ride back to Athens, there was only a doctor and a group of old ladies knitting sitting in business. Where all you kids at with the bottle service from last night?! Style is dead.

Wonderful video💖😊 On the side note this isn't directed towards you rather directed towards some in your audience: If a woman chooses to be a escort allow her to be as kong as she is doing what she must to stay safe & clean then what's it to you why must you have your face all in her business. Unless you are paying her bill's including her health care even then still mind your business ya nosy Karen's😒💯😤🤬

[@debraturner4559]

The article ... I don't really understand the claim about the tax write-off. In the US, it's not a big percent and nowhere near the dollar amount you'd spend on the goods. Just like if you give to charity -- the tax write-off is so small it's never the reason you give, it's more like better than nothing for what you'd do anyway. I'd love for you to dig and investigate how Mel in Melbourne funds her tons of purchases plus her husband's Rolex watch collection, plus their travels, plus raising two children ... surely she can't earn that amount of money on KZbin to pay for those endless unboxings. So it would be fascinating to know where the money comes from that goes out.

[@AnUrbanGypsy]

Taxes are so much lower in the US compared to most other countries though. In Australia where MiM is, the top tax rate begins at approx. $124,000 USD ($180,000 AUD) and is 45% compared to only 24% in US (did a quick Google, sorry if it’s wrong). Once you earn over $31,000 USD ($45,000 AUD) the tax is 32.5% compared to only 12% in the US and so anything you can write off is very beneficial. Once you finish Uni/College in Australia you’ll be straight into that 32.5% tax bracket and so everyone is looking to lower that tax bill in any way they can. I do like MiM a lot but yes, she buys big these days. I don’t know the expected earnings of someone with 300k subscribers - Dacob might though!

[@saes2715]

Mel did mention she buys her stuff at pre love stores & also at auctions , you will be surprise how some luxury goods w damage / stains on the insides can cost very little vs new ones

[@debraturner4559]

@@AnUrbanGypsy But for the purpose of this discussion, I'm just pointing out that a tax write-off isn't going to put much money back into a pocket so it can't be the way to benefit from buying Hermes bags.

[@debraturner4559]

@@saes2715 I still want to get to the bottom of how the couple makes money to pay for all their stuff ... as they spent millions of dollars already on all their luxuries, then keep going. It's not judging them to wonder how one come up with the funds to do it? It''s the missing part of the story.

[@ashfitrn]

Too much faking if you ask me. I stay in my lane. Share my unboxings, keep it real, and keep it pushing. I wonder about some of these people too. Some are just so obvious though. I do know a guy on here who writes off his Rolex purchases. Pretty cool channel.

Hey sweetie thank you for the hair tutorial! 😘Ppl don't just fly around in private jets lk is pic. in Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous those pics are publicity shots that come from ads for the plane themselves or lux goods. Do ppl realize how much the fuel cost?!! Ppl who have private jets (cough😁) take that cost into consideration & use these jets for business & special occasions. We don't fly to NY for dinner & the opera not unless we want to wake up broke tomorrow. I am doing these videos bc 1. I want to show off my bags. Not just to the whole world ya bc I'm excited but to ppl who ya know get it & maybe help someone else out in a decision. 2. Bc I'm a spoilt woman who has nothing else better to do. Truth. 3. Bc I am a spoilt woman who loves fashion but wants to b smart bc one day the money may run out. 5. I DO have a sug daddy yes I do & I have helped him maintain a healthy & happy life for over 23 yrs now. I'm his Mama Bear & he's my Sugar Daddy. He is 33 yrs older than me but will outrun the word of God & has to have a woman 1/2 his age to keep up with him. My ex beat my tail to the point I wanted someone stable. I did not let him tell me what he was worth he lives modest for his $$$$$$$$$ & after 3 yrs he couldn't stand it any longer & called me to the office for lunch where he handed me his financial statement in a way I had to read. It was his kindness that goes with generosity that attracted me to him a very self sufficient woman long before I would start accepting gifts much less support. You so remind me of a friend of my brothers I knew from a local college of course my brother who's drag name was "Tiffany Chanel" was my influencer truth be told yet their friendship ended the friend you remind me of when someone's care bears were mistreated (long story) & but I just luv ur passion & vlogs! I've thought recently about why I'm doing this & so glad you helped me to answer & lk I've seen with the bf & have done with my own projects in the past have to eventually ask myself where I'm going with it bc to ppl lk us we have no limits. I have categorized mine as a collection listening to you guys for the first time everyone else calls me a hoarder. LOL Preach your fashion darling we're all learning together. I don't mind being a one hit wonder making it on the top 100 @ #99 for a short period of time 😍🥰❤🌺everyone has their space & as long as we support each other that's great. I am a smart business woman myself so I know what I want to be a hobby & what I want to be a business but staying between the lines when they can easily cross up is difficult & sometimes have to work them around each other. But most my bags I pay for with casino jackpots. 😁 It spurs me on in the casino ya know. 😘
