Great article! My Inner Retailer LOVES this kind of stuff.
Yeah, I NEVER made it to ‘luxury brand’ heights, BUT - I got a LOT of people to part with their hard earned dollars during the 18 years I was in Retail. (It was fun! It was a game!)
D&G must be sending FLOTUS Melania enough flowers to fill EVERY table in The White House these days! What an AMAZING opportunity for them to have her favor their clothing! And even I, who rarely carries a purse, LUSTS for those cute handbags she carries!
Another thought: Why weren’t they writing articles like THIS for the past DECADE? Could it be that Happy Days ARE Here Again? With Melania on board, LUXE is the New Normal? Sure beats eating kale salads, which is all FLOTUS Mooch had to offer, LOL!
I buy high end and have for many many years. Handbags, shoes, and sunglasses seem to last forever. I have LV, Chanel, Prada, etc.
Was at a dock BBQ yesterday when my neighbor noticed my new Prada sunglasses and started talking about how she only buys $10 sunglasses at CVS and doesn’t understand why anyone would spend that amount of money. Then she says....out of curiosity can I try them? She put them on and said.....wow! Never would have guessed there was such a difference. So clear, so comfortable, so well made. I may have to rethink this. I just laughed. I paid $85 for them I think. Saks Off Fifth marked $119 and I had a 30% off coupon I had got for one item through email. When I told her that she said....yeah I’d pay it for them.
If you shop right you can buy really nice stuff. I love my high end brands.
