What is your most costly bag? Chanel traditional double flap medium size in GHW. By dad got this for me before I got married. We were in Tokyo for a household vacation as well as I stated I wished to look at the Chanel WOC in the Omotesando boutique. When the SAs brought out the WOCs (black as well as red), my dad’s eyes wandered to the traditional flap bags as well as asked the SA if we can take a look.
Of program my eyes got big… deep in my heart I understood I desired that however at the moment, I might only pay for the WOC (wedding prep is expensive!). When my dad saw my deal with illuminate as I tried on the traditional flap, he stated he would get it for me as a present. Teary eyed, I thanked my dad for the wonderful present as well as the rest was history =)
The most costly bag I bought on my own was the YSL infant sac du jour. I had been lusting over it for a few months… as well as when an chance provided itself (meaning the shop had the size as well as color combination that I wanted), I bought it.
What are the most important brands or pieces in your collection? Those that were gifted to me:
LV Hampstead MM DE – my very first LV bag, gifted to me by my mom when we were vacationing in Singapore. I desired a carry however not a Neverfull (it was everywhere at the time). I liked the plate detail in addition to the more structured style compared to the Neverfull
LV speedy B 25 – It was offered out everywhere! The waitlist in Manila was crazy as well as I understood it would be impossible to get one at my house store. When we were vacationing in London, Harrod’s LV had one in stock. Szczęściarz! My dad bought it for me.
LV Saumur 25 – The only method to get it was in the pre-loved market so when my husband as well as I were vacationing in Japan, we came upon a designer “flea market” in Himeji (of all places!). The Saumur 25 was a great deal. as well as we understood that Japan does not tolerate counterfeit products. My other half got it for me, since he understood I was lusting for it… as well as the truth that we went to around 5 pre-loved stores in Tokyo as well as Kyoto (Brand Off as well as Komehyo are the more prominent ones).
W jakim wieku dostałeś swoją pierwszą torbę projektantów, a także co to było? Bvlgari logo mania pochette in pink – this is my very first designer bag (no, my coach bags from outlet stores don’t count) as well as it was a graduation present to me by my dad. After completing university, we went buying in Singapore’s Orchard road as well as I got a “budget” for my graduation gift. At the time, I wasn’t so much into designer products so I decided to split my budget plan to get an iPod video as well as a little pochette from Bvlgari. The very first thing I did when I got the bag was to wear it to Church!
Always be grateful as well as provide thanks!
Jakaś konkretna torba, która ma specjalną wartość emocjonalną? most likely the Bvlgari pochette (from my dad), the Hampstead MM (from my mom) as well as the Saumur 25 (from my hubby). Those 3 will never leave my collection.
Czy czujesz, że twoje torby modyfikują postrzeganie przez ciebie ludzi lub dokładnie tego, jak jesteś traktowany? TAk. There will always be stereotypes anywhere you go. What I do is I gown for the event as well as the destination! If you want to be treated nicely, gown nicely. Sorry, that’s exactly how it is in this world!
I work in the R&D sector so I’m mainly at site or in the labs, I prefer to wear my Longchamp totes or Kate Spade bags in situation of accidents. Spill occur commonly in hectic labs.
If I’m going out with good friends or family, I usually select a nice little handbag, depending upon where we’ll go or what we’ll do. If there’s a lunch or dinner at elegant restaurants or hotels, I wear my Ferragamo WOC or Chanel traditional flap. If I’m travelling, I prefer the Iena MM as it has a zipper that makes my personal belongings more secure.
I wear my bigger totes when I’m out buying or going the shopping center / movies with hubby.
Zakupy
How commonly do you buy new bags? Nie często. It depends upon what catches my eye as well as exactly how long I stalk or checked out evaluations about the bags. right now, I’m not looking for anything new.. I am contented with my present collection. I have a tote, WOC, work bag, evening/ elegant bag as well as crossbody for my lifestyle.
But I currently have a renewed rate of interest in the pre-loved market.
Które sklepy najczęściej się regularnie? right now… LV, Chanel as well as Salvatore Ferragamo
Do you ever buy second-hand bags? Where do you buy used? It’s nice to look at the pre-loved market for vintage styles as well as designs not anymore made by fashion homes (case in point: Saumur 25). I play it risk-free as well as look for pre-loved bags in Japan, where they have strong legislations against counterfeit / fake items.
Czy oferujesz stare torby do zapłaty za nowe zakupy? Nigdy nie próbowałem. If I ever try to offer old bags, it would be for other functions like us needing the money badly. however never to purchase new bags. Each bag has a history for me.
If ever I would offer them, I would try to offer them with household as well as good friends first.
Do you ever feel societal pressure to purchase more bags? Nie całkiem. I’m not high up in the social levels to have the pressure to have a different bag every time I’m out as well as about. I like using my bags down, enjoying them as well as producing memories with them.
Czy myślisz o inwestycjach o zakupy w torbie? As an investment to be passed on to my daughter, as well as nothing else.
Kto wpływa na twoje decyzje zakupowe? Moja mama. She likes traditional styles as well as those that in shape her lifestyle. Surprisingly, my dad likewise has a keen sense (that Chanel traditional flap caught his interest more than anything!).
For reviews, I go to Youtube to watch evaluations (what fits, wear as well as tear, very first impressions, etc.). I likewise inspect the handbag forum for comments from other members.
Czy połączenia partnerów sprzedaży są odegrani dla twoich zakupów? Nie całkiem. When I go to shops to purchase something, I usually have a bag or two in mind. as well as I have checked out a great deal of evaluations as well as watched a great deal of Youtube videos about those bags already!
It’s a reward for me if they are additional accommodating, like show me other sizes or prints of the designs I asked for. I phone call extraordinary service if they suggest me a similar style for me to try on if the specific design I requested isn’t available. I like that I am provided options.
Why do you enjoy shopping, beyond just obtaining something new? When I wasn’t earning yet (aka student), I like that my parents are likewise into high-end goods, as well as you might state it was bonding time for us to go shopping. When we were a bit younger, we just had sufficient for the necessities. My dad had a career break when I was in high institution as well as we slowly had some comforts right here as well as there. Primarily, we would travel as a family. then the buying (with the tax refunds of course), came with it.
When I started working, it took me a great 10 years to be in a comfortable specify to begin buying high-end products on my own. It was my gift to myself for the difficult work.
Czy kiedykolwiek czułeś się, jakbyś miał gorszą obsługę w sklepie lub sklepu ze względu na swój wygląd, pochodzenie etniczne lub płeć? TAk. particularly when I have impulse sees to my regional shops when I’m not dressed well enough. SAs usually profile people who see their stores. I don’t blame them, it may be the training that they get. Abroad, SAs seem to be friendlier to tourists (at least from our experience).
Pieniądze
Kto płaci za twoje torby? When I was studying, it was my parents.
When I was working, I pay for my purchases.
When I got married, it was a shared decision with my husband. say thanks to God he likewise appreciates my fashion sense!
Czy odkładasz plan budżetowy na zakupy w torbie? TAk. I usually obsess over bags for a few months, as well as together with that, I begin saving for that purchase (whether I choose to purchase it or not). If I choose not to purchase it, I deposit it in our cost savings account. I don’t have an precise % on exactly how much I set aside. It depends if a bag catches my fancy.
Tematy tabu
Czy kiedykolwiek kupiłeś podróbkę, ponieważ nie można było zapłacić za projektant? Unfortunately, I unknowingly bought a counterfeitKiedy wciąż mieszkaliśmy w Dżakarcie. Byłem wtedy w wysokiej instytucji i niewiele rozumiałem o towarach projektantów. Poszliśmy na ten pchli targ o nazwie Mangga Dua, a także oferowali wszystkie podróbki. Podobał mi się konkretny crossbody bez zrozumienia, że był to powalenie Gucci. Użyłem go kilka razy w instytucji, gdy tylko odkryłem, że jest to fałszywy, dostałem to.
Jeśli sprawdzisz się na temat podrabianych rynków, a także tego, co robi, naprawdę cię szokuje.
Czy kiedykolwiek ukrywasz zakupy ze znacznych innych? Nie. Jestem wyjątkowo dostępny dla mojej drugiej połowy na temat moich zakupów. Szanuję jego punkt widzenia, ponieważ nie chcę złamać jego zaufania. Zagłębi mnie również za swoje kosztowne hobby. Pomagamy sobie lol.
Jaka jest najbardziej szalona rzecz, jaką zrobiłeś, aby zapłacić za torbę? Nic naprawdę szalonego. Najbardziej był impulsywny zakup, IENA MM. Właśnie przyszedłem do sklepu, aby zdobyć mini Pochette LV Tahitienne, a także zapinany na zamek. Pieniądze, za które wykorzystałem, aby zapłacić za to, miały zostać zdeponowane do mojego depozytu czasowego. KUPA ŚMIECHU
Czy uważasz, że twoje zakupy jest kiedykolwiek problemem? Czy kiedykolwiek czułeś się, jakbyś miał trudności z uzależnieniem od zakupu? Nie całkiem. Jestem wyjątkowo dostępny dla mojej drugiej połowy, a także moich rodziców na temat moich nawyków kosztów. Zwykle uziemiają mnie szczególnie, gdy myślałem o posiadaniu Birkina (kiedy najwyraźniej nie mogę za to zapłacić w tym czasie!)
Reszta
Jakieś inne kosztowne hobby lub pasje? Lubię buty Ferragamo! Ich wzory Vara, a także Varina zawsze mnie podekscytują, a ja podoba mi się to, jak kształtują moje buty. Mam od butów od mojego taty. Ma wiele Ferragamo, a także do pracy ze skóry Bally. Zawsze podziwiałem jego poczucie spokojnej mody. Nie wygląda na krzyczącej fashionistę. Zawsze utrzymywał to tradycyjne, ale wyrafinowane. Nawiasem mówiąc, ma 68 lat!
Podobnie pochodziłem z gospodarstwa domowego, które lubi podróżować. Nasze hasło brzmiało „odwiedzaj nową lokalizację każdego roku!”. Podróżowanie jest świetnym nauczycielem. Uczy, jak być bardziej dostępny dla różnych kultur. Podobnie uczy nas doceniać naturę.
Anything else you would like to include? =)
