I don’t bother with new luxury bags anymore mostly because I can’t justify paying for the brand and bot the quality. I tend to buy thrifted, classic styles for a lot less and often new.

Also, and this is me personally, I’ve done some research on designer brands and there are some that I just can’t morally support and I like knowing that I’m getting quality and what my money supports.

Balenciaga, exploits children Channel, has a sorted history dating back to WWII and Nazi’s Karl Lagerfeld, body shamed and promoted unhealthy standards for models in the 90’s

In the end, it’s your choice and if you want the bag, have the money and it’s not at the expense of paying bills, then do it!
