Curious, are designer purses, expensive clothing, overly expensive cars really worth it? I'm not talking about value or quality, of course better quality is more expensive. But does anyone really NEED a $ 500 purse? Why would anyone spend that much money for something like that?

thats just nonsense lol. I work hard and play hard. If i worked my ass of for my bonus check, im saving some and spending the rest. I see not a thing wrong with treating yourself to the luxuries of life.
Plus, it feels good to stunt on the sales person when i walk in wearing sweats, leggings, and some beat old navy flip flops and buy a $ 400 bag.
Feels fuckin great.
if u dropping fo hunnid. you shouldn't be getting that no name brand.

depends on the circle you run in and it's as simple as that.
you can't run in high social circles without designer items. people will just perceive you as poor or low class.

I mean the same can be said for people who buy Tide when they can buy a cheaper brand. Some thing i am not willing to skimp on. Others, yes, i will bargain shop, make it myself, or wait ions till it goes on sale.
I stopped telling people what to do with their money a long time ago. If someone wants to always have the latest iphone; have at it. I someone wants to spend half their paycheck on marley; so be it. If someone wants to live out doublewide in a trailer park yet drive a range rover; who am i to judge.

I didn't start the thread to tell people what to do with their money. Hope you don't think that.
I'm just curious why it was important to some people to have that stuff.
And I wanted to let everyone be aware that they may become a target because of it.click to expand

i used to do the taxes of bikers. they walk in tattooed up, mullets, leather everything, dirty shoes. but theyre worth millions.
appearances can be deceiving.
i have a friend who is worth fuckin fortune and still walks around in 1970 acid wash jeans with elastic around the ankles. i think he still wears a windbreaker.
just realize you're citing the exceptions not the norm. how do u know that guy with the acid jeans can't shave and put on a zegna suit, and strap on a rolex before he goes to an exclusive club?click to expand

he doesnt tho. he could care less what the masses think of him. he's too secure in himself.

I'm sure robbing someone with the genuine article it worth much more than just robbing some guy who just stumled out of the seediest pub lol.
I'm not saying otherwise, but just as the robber was probably surprised that she didn't live that life style , someone stumbling out of the seediest pub might have a stack on their person or live that life style low profile.
If someone's robbing you anyway, they probably don't care toooo much of what they're getting. Not saying that any of this is an "all cases" deal, but is always a possibility.click to expand

Anyone can look like a good payoff when you have nothing as well.
Not saying that I don't agree.

I love high quality bags, shoes and clothes
and it doesn't necessarily have to be designer
labels. Even better if I get a good deal lol
I drive a luxury car as well.
If I can afford it and it makes me feel awesome
why not, it's my money.
Aaah the smell and touch of a Chanel bag

At the end of the day anyone can be a walking lick. If you just got paid and left the check cashing, walking lick. If you got the new J's on, walking lick. If you got $ 300 worth of weave on your head, walking lick. new Iphone, walking lick. Beat headphone, walking lick.
shit i could go on and on.
It does not matter to the streets. what you got, they want.
The victim should never blame themselves for the actions of another.

I know some people that would buy a dog-ugly puke green purse, because it had a certain name. Just so they could say they had one and impress everyone. Crazy!!!
yeah, see that's just ridiculous.click to expand

That's why so many schools are going to uniforms now. Kids were getting stabbed for their Nike's. Sad, sad world.

This thread reminds me of the 4-year-old little boy (Taegrin Morris) that was dragged alongside his mother's car by hijackers. They forced the mom out of the car & she went to the passenger's door to unlock the little boy's car-seat, but they sped off before she was even done & he was left hanging from the side of the car. He died. His mom remembered him screaming "Mommy, help me". She now blames her posh car.

Marc Jacobs for $ 500? You can maybe get a business card holder, or a change purse 😄
i've bought marc jacobs bags for my ex for around 500. not even marc by marc jacobs.
as a matter of fact, i bought a prada purse for her one time for 700. beautiful teal color with the grained leather. damn it was a steal.
farfetch is the website? they have amazing coupon deals.

It really depends on the label. I know it's not cool to be a brand whore but it is what it is for a reason. You buy from the right house - you've got something that'll last you years, decades maybe. Way better than buying mass-produced garbage that you'll throw out next year and end up spending even more over your lifetime replacing it over and over again.
SOME luxury labels though - are pure garbage living off hype, noise and sometimes even name alone.

My view is women need to let go of the purse. Free the nipple movement? Please, free us from HANDBAGS.

Its very disrespectful to wear knock offs.
Its disrepectful to designers, and brand history.
You could love the brand, but you don't respect the work which goes into keeping it top of the line.
A fan of the brand wouldn't wear knock offs, because they like and to a certain degree they normally understand what's happening with the brand.
It qualify someone who admires what a certain brand does...Knock offs shows the complete OPPOSITE of admiration with what the brand does.
Better off in following the brand movement without buying its threads, than buying its knock-off threads.
Knock-Offs is equivalent to Catfishing, IMHO.
