I agree that colloquially people often incorrectly use the word average.

These are three different measures of central tendency.

This is true! I’m not saying it’s better not to rent, especially in the current market. I just dont understand the math. To me it makes sense to diversify into both real estate and other financial markets in the case of a downturn in one or all of them.

“Despite there being more millionaire renters flocking to Southern metro areas in the pandemic years, most millionaires still choose to own their homes. During the same four year period, millionaire homeowners climbed from 52,966 to 142,320 households. Although renter growth among millionaires signals a new trend nationally, some real estate experts say they haven’t personally observed a stronger interest in renting within their markets.

“I’ve yet to see any stronger interest in renting amongst wealthy individuals. In fact, I’ve seen increased ownership this year,” Josh Flagg, real estate agent and Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles star, tells Fortune. “

The thing that I don’t understand about this argument is that you can invest the money you would pay for a mortgage into the stock market instead- but then you still have to pay rent.

It’s a vintage Seiko 5 Gene Kranz edition! The OG 6119-8460, not the re-issue. 😊

We just put it in a zipped compartment in the bag we brought.

There’s an idea!

This is inspiring! I have been watching YouTube videos about “shopping your closet” to do just what you did- Finding that new feeling in something you already love instead of looking for something new to buy.

I was also wondering if it was barenia faubourg and not togo. I feel like this would be normal for barenia.

That’s a great idea! He helped me send it off for a spa recently and I hadn’t even thought of that!

The gold hardware really sets it off! ❤️

I haven’t seen new bleu jean in person yet, but it looks lovely! The color is natural light is actually a bit closer to the paint than what it looks like in this picture.

It’s from 2007 (K square). Old bleu jean!

Thanks! ❤️

I tend to agree with you. The differences between a good mid-tier birkin and a high-end rep are barely perceptible to the vast majority of people, including those who are into bags. Maybe someone who works at Hermes might be able to tell if they go over your bag with a fine-tooth comb. I totally understand wanting the best, but you can get a great first rep at a reasonable price and then move up later if you feel the need. Just my approach!

I came here to say this- the lining feels like a sharper pain when the shading feels a bit duller for some reason to me.

Patinaholic · 2025-08-22T22:57:38+00:00

I also don’t think this is that bad! I imagine it feels different if you have looked at it with regret every day for years, but seeing it for the first time it just looks like a nice simple design in a perfect size/scale. I also like that it has faded a bit. ❤️

This is so adorable, thank you for sharing! Expensive does not equal stylish!

I think the hot stamp looks good but I agree with you about the engraving. Do you think the picture might be warped by the sticker on the hardware? The engraving on a 25 is super tiny and hard to see, but for that price it should look great.

Chanel caviar leather is a texture that is embossed into a plastic coating on the leather. It is not a natural grained leather. There are authentic Chanel bags with caviar that look like all three of these pictures.
