The official badge of “quiet luxury” enthusiasts. 😆 It’s like a “Live. Laugh. Love” t-shirt for people with highly disposable income.

I wish I could upload a photo of me at 18 where I painted CHANEL onto a fake leather hat I bought on Canal street as my personal fuck you to this branded total bullshit. I have it somewhere! I wore it nightly to Nells. I HATE THIS SHIT!

I just came back from Atlanta. I saw so many goyard tote bags at the airport I looked it up and it’s a coated, unstructured canvas bag that costs 2200?!?!?! I would love to know what you think about this bag

I don't get Goyard. It's a $2,000 coated canvas tote. Not leather. No intricate hardware. No particularly interesting design. Every time I'm in Bali or Hong Kong, the markets are full of versions that look virtually identical. If I'm spending luxury money, I want to be paying for exceptional craftsmanship, incredible materials, or truly distinctive design. I've never understood luxury bags where the logo is the main event. I even own a faux Goyard vanity case, and honestly, I couldn't tell you the difference without looking at the receipt. For me, that's not what luxury should be.

No free clout. If you want me to wear your logo, pay me. I'm not going to advertise your brand for you for free in this economy!
