Luxury Fashion Is NOT The Same For Rich VS Poor!

I don't know if it's worth buying anything from Gucci, Channel or other similar brands. At that price, you can get something custom made that's of superior quality.

As a millennial, this whole luxury discussion has been evolving my entire life. When I was a kid, before fast fashion and "luxury branding" became a thing, nobody was buying luxury (Hermes, Chanel, Dior, Gucci etc) other than people who had a LOT of money. Perhaps they were old money or new money but they were actually rich. Not just upper middle class, but rich enough to live in "mansions" or go to exotic vacations twice a year. Now, I see young kids, not even teenagers, from lower income families talking about how they want to buy luxury. Social media have certainly played a part, but I also think that the fact that fast fashion made clothing completely "worthless" in many ways has definitely contributed to how luxury is regarded. No actual rich person would talk about "an investment bag" because they have actual investments that make them millions.

Accepting one’s own class and helping each other within said class is smarter than competing against each other and pretending to be rich.

Nothing about luxury is exclusive, all you need is money. They don't care if its inherited or credit card debt.

My mother taught me that logos on your clothes are trashy. She was a middle class accountant. True class can not be bought.

I’m glad you mentioned that the wealth have their clothes custom made…as a college student, I worked in a luxury fabric store and saw this firsthand.

No logos for me, quiet quality is my luxury. Real quality has no reason to be loud

I personally hate labels on items. I will not be a walking billboard. I think the brand name on items is tacky

Buying Louis Vuitton to show that you are not poor is ironic to the extreme as Louis Vuitton himself started his steamer trunk business as a homeless street urchin.

These fashion houses have to stop hating on the working class. If they want loyalty then they have to stop being condescending.

I wear and buy what makes me feel good . Period 😊

I think there's some confusion. Good quality should be the goal. Why would that be a ''Luxury"? Those who buy for status will never understand real quality and what to look for in an item.

Poor people who buy luxury keep them from accumulating real wealth. Agree totally. Logo clothing is low class to me. Quiet luxury is my mantra.

i LOVE that sucession always appears on these stealth wealth/old money videos... and they are super new money! the patriarch is a hick from rural australia!

In Succession, the Roy’s would actually be considered “new money.” The Pierces are “old money.”

watching your video, i just remembered being a child, seeing a t-shirt, saying "i want that", turning to see the the back, a giant logo there, and me going "ew!" a lifetime of quiet luxury ahahahahah

Wealth is quiet, rich is loud. Just as class isn’t demanding, entitlement…well we know😉

As a fashion lover, yes luxury fashion is for all people. You cannot afford it, buy the vintage or preloved one. Not fakes. But ngl sometimes fakes looks so real that it is easier to buy fake

I live in Atlanta, GA where designer brands reign. Several luxury brands have stores in two malls that happen to sit across the street from each other. I always look at who carries what brand of handbag and if it is authentic or counterfeit - as the latter is rampant. I find it interesting to see who is toting an opening price point handbag and who is toting something in a higher price point. Also, there is aspirational and inspirational tiers with many brands regarding handbags being made of cloth, different leathers and exotic materials. The bolder and bigger logo driven styles ranging from accessories and clothing to shoes and handbags are status quo here. I’ve been in a particular store known for their luggage and steamer trunks where I witnessed a woman pull a wad of cash from her bra as she peeled off hundred dollar bills to purchase one of their coveted handbags. This is who they cater to now. Classless people dressed as if they’re at Walmart buying toilet paper and dog food.

Luxury is something you want and don't need. It should be something you want yourself, not something you buy to keep up with others. It should be something that has a personal meaning to you.
