Do you feel like your bags modification people’s perceptions of you or exactly how you’re treated? Joo. Ehdottomasti! For one, my household as well as many of my buddies still don’t get it. I’ve likewise been judged when out on dates as somebody who is superficial or, potentially, a golddigger.

Ostokset
How frequently do you purchase new bags? If I want a bag as well as I’ve slept on it for at least 3-4 months as well as I still want it, as well as have the money for it, I’ll get it. It’s a great deal of money for me, so I’d like to take my time as well as make sure I truly like it as well as that it will stay with me up until the end.
Has the Coronavirus pandemic altered your buying practices or general mindset towards luxury? No, not at all.
Which stores do you regular the most? I don’t believe I am faithful to any type of one brand or store. I like to shop around as well as look at my options. I’m likewise a bit of a bargain hunter, so I’ll always look around to see where the very best offer is (where applicable)!
Do you ever purchase second-hand bags? Where do you purchase used? No. I’ve always wished to invest in vintage pieces, however there’s always that little part of me that concerns whether it’s really authentic or not. clearly I have count on problems lol!!!
Do you offer old bags to pay for new purchases? No. I always like to believe that I pick classic/timeless pieces (obviously subject to personal opinion), however I always select things that are my style, as well as within my budget…and neutral tones!
Do you ever feel societal pressure to purchase much more bags? No. I like what I like as well as if it feels right, I’ll purchase it. tahdonEi usko, että laukku edustaa “tilaani” tai muuta sellaista.
Ajatteletko laukkusi ostaa sijoituksia? En ollut aivan ensin – ostin heidät, koska pidän heistä, mutta näiden kustannuskorotusten näkeminen saa minut uskomaan, että ne ovat (tai ehkä se on vain jotain, jonka sanon itseni tuntemaan oloni paljon paremmaksi lol)
Kuka vaikuttaa ostopäätöksiin? En aio valehdella! Jos näen jonkun, jolla on kukkaro, joka on paritettu hyvin asuun kanssa, se voi heittää minua hankkimaan yhden omani. Olisinko se Pinterest, Instagram tai erämaassa, minua ei ole vaikuttanut, olen inspiroinut!
Ovatko myyntikumppaniyhteydet välineet ostoksillesi? Ei, ei oikeastaan.
Miksi ilahdut ostoksia, sen lisäksi, että hankkisit jotain uutta? Vaikuttaa juustolta, mutta tuntuu niin pirun hienolta, että pystymme ostamaan hyviä asioita itselleni ja ilahduttamaan niitä sekä hyödyntämään niitä sekä katsomaan niitä ja ymmärrän, että olen työskennellyt/pelastin sen todella vaikeaa.
Oletko koskaan tuntenut, että sinulla on huonompi palvelu kaupassa tai kaupassa ulkonäön, etnisyyden tai sukupuolen takia? Minulla on todellakin (taustani on aasialainen). Se on tapahtunut pari kertaa, mutta lukuisat muut ostokokemukseni ovat olleet täysin autuat. Uskon todella, että se riippuu myyntiyrityksestä, eikä myymälästä tai tuotemerkistä. Heillä saattaa olla huono päivä tai heillä on jotain meneillään yksityisesti, en ota sitä henkilökohtaisesti.
Rahaa
Kuka maksaa laukkuistasi? Minä.
Varaatko budjettisuunnitelman laukun ostoksille? Minulla ei ole laukurahastoa sellaisenaan, mutta minulla on “menolarasto”, jossa käytän itselleni “herkkujen” ostamiseen itselleni. Tarkalleen kuinka paljon varaan, riippuu olosuhteistani, samoin kuin prioriteettini ovat aina muuttavia.
Tabu -aiheet
Oletko koskaan ostanut väärennetyn, koska et voinut maksaa suunnittelijatuotteesta? Ei. Karres ei ole välttämätöntä elämässä, se on ylellisyys/syyllinen ilo. Olisin silti täsmälleen sama henkilö suunnittelijan käsilaukkujen kanssa tai ilman sitä, joten en tunne vaatimusta saada jotain sen hyödyksi, koska se ei määrittele minua.
Piilotatko koskaan ostoksia huomattavastasi? Ei
Mikä on hulluin asia, jonka olet tehnyt maksaaksesi laukusta? En ole – olen väsyttävä lol
Uskotko, että ostamasi on koskaan ongelma? Oletko koskaan tuntenut, että sinulla olisi ollut vaikeaa aikaa ostoriippuvuudella? Itse asiassa tämä syyllisyys ei kuitenkaan kestä kauan. Kun käytän sitä, kaikki taianomaisesti katoaa, mutta en ole koskaan tehnyt ostoksia, joihin minulla ei ole varaa/säästää.
Loput
Onko muita kalliita harrastuksia tai intohimoja? I delight in cars, a great holiday as well as a great time with buddies as well as family. I really appreciate the much more easy things in life, believe it or not. nothing beats a great laugh!
