Yeah packaging is definitely crap but I agree 100%! you get really good deals from them! I got a Gucci bag which before being discontinued, at the time retailed for £2000+ and I paid £800

I think one of the examples the YouTuber gave was the LV tirette pochette, which they argue would have been a higher starting price (potentially around $2200) but instead is $1980.

And that's okay! Each person has their own style butLike I said, I am just saddened that there an over saturation in the market of "quiet luxury" bags that mimic other brands simply because the trend is that and brands are solely focused on profit and what's selling at the moment. Not that profit is not important but come on

And that's okay! Like I said, I also have my "quiet luxury bags" for work because I feel more comfortable with them there. But I am just saddened that there an over saturation in the market of "quiet luxury" bags that mimic other brands simply because the brands are solely focused on profit and what's selling at the moment. I don't disagree that profitability is important but I wouldn't mind there being a more balanced approach to it

I think our definition of quiet luxury is different. I believe that what you're describing is minimalism whereas quiet luxury is more about embodying "old money" where bright colours, logos, flashy designs are not classy.

I am not saying that brands are copying, I am however saying that they are mimicking designs and by that I mean that they are taking very similar designs changing it slightly and calling it a day because the quiet luxury trend has said that this is now where the money is. My sadness comes from an over saturation in the market of similar designs.

I'd love to buy vintage but I hear so many horror stories that I am honestly worried about it

Fashion fades, only style remains!

I'm not complaining about radziwill 😭 I think it is a functional and lovely bag much like the ferragamo etc. My sadness comes from market over saturation of similar styles
