no.... i am going to sell some of my clothes and trying to make mother do the same, half the clothing we buy, we dont even wear so i think donating the money to the charity for the needy would be better than buying couture clothing or exotic leather jackets....

or maybe not cant see myself selling that gucci, i guess i could work in a soup kitchen... that might be even better...

Don't sell your Gucci jacket, I think you may well regret it and it's not just the money, Gucci only make 3 or 4 of those RTW pieces every season Worldwide. Think of it like an art piece or a very rare wine. So much care, skill and time has gone into making these pieces, it's not just CASH it's a thing of beauty :hugs:

Now you make me feel a bit bad, I have a croc/mink Gucci moto jacket too and have only worn it once :shame: Good thing I didnt have to buy it though cos I wouldn't have anywhere to live :lol: I also have 2 python Chanel jackets and both python and ostrich Pradas. I love my jackets (and coats)

When I completed my degree I rewarded myself with a dark blue reversable hooded lamb leather jacket (suede on one side, shortly sheared fur on the reverse) for 2160€ (around $2800) by Etro.

The only time I ever came close to this again was with a Bottega Veneta tote.

That sounds totally exquisite, Etro create fabric for many couture houses your coat must be heavenly, congratulations on your degree as well :tup:

Here are some of mine off the top of my head:

1) Chanel Turquoise Feather Dress from Spring 2011--the detail on this is beyond!

2) Balmain Black Leather Quilted Jacket with chain detailing--the detail reminds me of Chanel hehe

3) Chanel Fall 2008 Black Camelia Ruffle Dress--this is a super intricate piece, hard to see the detailing in the pics cos its black

4) Chanel PreFall 2008 Black Ribbon Coat

5) Chinchilla Bolero Jacket

You always have a great style and all your own. I like to people who can wear such statement clothes yet at the same time don't loose themselves.

A custom made Yohji Yamamoto coat. To own a piece that went through the hands of the master himself has huge sentimental value to me since he will always be my favourite designer. I will cry ugly tears the day he chooses to retire.

You must feel like a queen, it sounds truly magnificent :tender:

I spend more $$$ on clothes than bags. I only stick to classics. Sometimes I feel as if I'm dressing for my 80 year old self. My most expensive item is a Chanel dress/jacket ($2600) that I got on sale!

Good for you queenofchic, I love people who love to dress. And just think, when you are 80 you won't have to shop, just sit at the front row of all the up-and-comming fashion designers, everyone will think you are the coolest octogenarian in the World

Most I've spent was 5k on a fur coat by ermano scervino. Bags I am not cheap and buy anything I like but I cannot spend like that on clothes. Even if my lifestyle permitted.

It's sometimes wise to just get the best and have done. Your coat will probably last you a lifetime and in all that time you will be happy, super-stylish and very warm ;)

definitely my Fendi dress :biggrin:
I had such a crush on that dress when I first saw it, I had to find out who made it and then to find the dress. I was so lucky, I finally found the very last one in Paris :P

A Canada Goose is always money well spent though right? They are so warm :smile:

On that note can we 'add in' to this thread .... "and was it money well spent?".
