ហើយផ្សេងទៀត…
How much is your collection worth? roughly 40K CAD (I purchase A great deal pre-loved).
What is your many costly bag? My 20b Chanel little traditional Flap. I purchased her last year after a big perk as well as couldn’t be much more delighted. Fits my stature, my wardrobe, as well as I cannot believe that it fits my style in addition to it does.
Though I’m unfortunate to report that extremely bit fits within it though :/
The Chloé Hayley
What are the most essential brands or pieces in your collection? currently a Chloé girl. My preferred piece is certainly my Chloé Hayley. She resembles a little Evelyne, however has two compartments separated by a third with a zipper closure in the middle. She’s a fantastic old gal whom I like as well as reach for without judgment or regard for the event.
ការជិះកង់? She’s with me.
Brunch? indeed please.
Needed to hand in my last Econ project of my degree? She was in tow, as well as my project was thoroughly in location within as I rode dangerously with the mud to hand it in on time. as for other brands, I was previously significant on Dior (not a Maria Grazia fan unfortunately).
What age did you get your very first designer bag, as well as what was it? The tender age of 12. I went to a personal institution where every second woman had an LV Pochette Accessoires or a infant Speedy, as well as I had chose that I was going to be one of them. After months of asserting to my parents that it was the only method I might socially flourish amongst my peers, they purchased me an LV Mallory in increased poudre. I barely wear her, however she’s a gem I still take out every when in a while.
Is there a particular bag you are wanting to purchase next? 100%, I keep lying to myself that I’ve hit handbag peace as well as yet I still handle to purchase a bag per year. I hope to purchase a woman Dior for my 30th, secondhand of course.
Any specific bag that holds a special emotional value? I’m emotionally connected to numerous of my bags, both my Chloé bags for sure. My white Saddle, which has a story to boot, as well as my Murakami Speedy. I went to my sibling in London in 2016 as well as discovered a consignment store called the Pandora gown boutique. Filled to the brim with designer goodies, I found her hanging high above my head as well as promptly understood she was mine forevermore. At the time the British pound was extremely affordable (thanks Brexit) as well as I got her for less than 600 CAD.
Do you feel like your bags modification people’s perceptions of you or exactly how you’re treated? ត្រូវហើយ។ I am treated like a rich youngster practically 100% of the time if people don’t understand me as well as the bag is a bit much more obvious. For that reason, I never wear my designer bags at work, never when I opt for a walk (I’ve seen some do it). however it assists to get much much better client service than those who aren’t [wearing one]when I go buying :D.
My Chloé’s get mixed reception in social circles. The Chanel women of the world act as if it’s a trainer or an MK bag, as well as I’ve been treated terribly for using Chloé amongst those people, even if it later comes out that their Chanel is a very fake from Turkey.
I only wearmy “louder” bags around extremely close good friends (i.e. the Murakami, the CF, or either one of my Saddles).
Have your bag-carrying practices altered because Covid? ទាំងស្រុង។ I mainly end up just leaving the home for work or working in a coffee shop, so I wear my totes out 90% of the time. I’ve ended up going out a few times because things have opened up in June/July, so I have had a handful of chances to wear my bags out.
ការដើរទិញឥវ៉ាន់នេះ
How commonly do you purchase new bags? 2020 as well as 2021: 1/year. Before: 3-5.
Has the Coronavirus pandemic altered your buying practices or general mindset towards luxury? in spite of my profession progression, I purchase A great deal less thanks to the pandemic. The silver lining was that I was able to purchase my CF thanks to my new rhythm. Though, I mainly purchased pre-loved before the pandemic even hit.
My new focus is to keep a tidier as well as much more deliberate collection. I’ve offered great deals of my clothes as well as non-luxury bags since of the pandemic, as well as I try to re-home whatever correctly to ensure that it sees the like it when satisfied when it was with me ?
Which stores do you regular the most? I believe it might be Chanel (you have the best to roll your eyes as I’ve previously made a disparaging comment on women who solely wear Chanel bags).
I don’t purchase much more than one accessory as well as garments product per season, however all my newest accessories have been from Chanel lately.
CC 125’s cherished Chanel Flap
Do you ever purchase second-hand bags? Where do you purchase used? It is a unusual as well as momentous event for me to purchase a bag in-store, like my valuable CF. I purchase off everywhere; Kijiji, eBay, Japanese resellers, Depop, Poshmark, less so consignment stores. I have a knack for authentication as well as likewise authenticate freelance – Dior, Fendi, as well as Chloé bags as a side hustle. As a result, I understand a great deal of authenticators to cross-authenticate pieces I find. If you want something affordable though, try Vinted or going after pre-loved pieces in your own city. You’ll be shocked as to what you can find.
Do you offer old bags to pay for new purchases? Although it isn’t with the intent to pay for new purchases, indeed I do. ច្រើន។ I believe I’ve offered 10 of my bags on locations like Depop, Kijiji, as well as Poshmark. I’ve even offered all my costume jewellery thanks to Kijiji.
Do you ever feel societal pressure to purchase much more bags? At times. particularly with the traditional Flap I felt surmounting pressure to in shape in by purchasing in store. Otherwise, no new bags are beautiful sufficient for me to want to purchase it these days. I spurn anything as well recent as Instagram’s advertising pushes are so tasteless. Unlike bags, I’ve purchased great deals of accessories (sunglasses as well as SLGs).
Do you think about your bag purchases investments? wardrobe investments? ត្រូវហើយ។ though I do offer in CTAs as well as am a master hunter for a great bargain, the bags I purchase are not implied to produce much return other than the complete satisfaction of pulling off a extremely hot outfit.
Who influences your purchasing decisions? The concept of achieving an suitable “Je ne sais quoi” look with a stylish undertone does. new bags aren’t achieving that, instead, they’re dictating a uniform. There’s an artful essence within each one of us that can be expressed with the clothes we wear as well as the accessories we pick, I let mine push me in the road I’m implied to follow…
Are sales partner connections instrumental to your shopping? in spite of being huge on pre-loved bags, I like purchasing my SLGs fresh as well as have a favored SA at a couple stores. I’d likewise like to say thanks to Ryan from Chanel Montreal for assisting me get my very first Chanel bag. He makes notes as well as doesn’t decline any type of job as well little (such as a scarf), as well as I truly appreciate that.
Why do you delight in shopping, beyond just obtaining something new? I utilized to like buying for the rush, as well as still partake in mindless purchases. I utilized to be a huge shopaholic prior to 2018. Now, I like buying since I delight in taking a piece as well as marrying it with my fashion identity. I like to believe about exactly how I’ll wear it, where I’ll wear it, why I’ll wear it, what emotions it may evoke for others when I wear it… When I have an event or a trip to look ahead to, I’ll always believe about what I’m using as well as exactly how I want to interact my character with my garb.
Have you ever felt like you got inferior service at a store or shop because of your appearance, ethnicity or gender? only once. As a lady of Western Oriental descent I’m part of a mostly despised community, particularly in France & Austria (shock). I was rejected entry at Zara in the altering spaces by a French guy with a disgusting smirk on his face, as well as efficiently told that I wasn’t theប្រភេទរបស់អតិថិជនដែលពួកគេបានផ្តល់ឱ្យ។ jerk ប្រកាន់ពូជសាសន៍។
