Scraping money for a luxury bag at a very young age as a student before getting a well paying job, severance pay, paying off debt … there’s something that doesn’t add up here.

I’m not calling you a liar, but that little girl could be hiding something … similarly to Je Suis Lou … they want to keep their privacy in financial terms and I will respect that. But they make it seem as if the only thing they pay for is bags… no bills, nothing …

Yeah, I agree with you. Not to mention it appears she was still living at home about three years ago, as well as enjoying numerous far-flung vacations. I don’t believe for a second she’s wholly self-funded. She’s a lucky gal; good for her.

Exactly, good for anyone with that type of financial security. It’s nice to enjoy life and it’s luxuries.

I think with this new generation there’s a culture of “self-Made, millionaire in their 20s, living the rich life…etc”, they act like having money being handed to them by financially stable parents instead of their very own multiple streams of money is something to be shamed of.

There are many people who budget for luxury. Whether they make $30k or $300k/year, people who really want “luxury” make budgets if their expenses versus the cost of the luxury items are such that budgets allow them to live within their means while still being able to scrape, gather, save the money for these frivolous things. There are people on this very forum who speak about budgeting. Severance packages are also relatively common for larger corporations based in developed western nations and even required by labour laws in certain parts of the world. Nothing she stated is so far out of left field. Furthermore, going into credit card debt for something one wants is not unheard of otherwise 2008 in the US would not have happened.

Liar is a strong word to bring to this conversation so I’m going to assume there was no ill intent there. I’m simply reiterating things she has been very open about that can be missed if you don’t watch her enough. All students don’t make the same wage just as they all don’t have the same expenses. As a someone who was once a student who supported themselves entirely, I also understand the power of a good budget. However, my lived experience is not required for me to understand “money for luxury” can mean different things to different people and how they get and how much of said money they have will also look different as well. Remember, your financial situation is not the only one to exist and/or is possible. Everyone is different. Two people earning even the same income may have different financial responsibilities and thus afford different luxuries -if any luxuries at all. Not everything you may consider excess must come from others based your personal experience. Again, everyone is different.

Je suis Lou is in a different category. She has stated in the past that she gets help from time to time from her father. Cassie does not get help from her father and has talked about her financial responsibilities and budgeting many times before as I stated in my previous comment. Again, this is a detail easily missed if you’re not watching them regularly. I’ve also noticed Lou has greatly simplified how she talks about her money situation in recent videos and it’s probably because of all the scrutiny she gets. It’s like if these women are not breaking out their tax filings people always assume something sketchy. Rather interesting. Cassie is also 28/29. Lou is 25- these are not “little girls” and how you refer to them is very telling of what you’re willing to receive from this conversion so it’s best I respectfully bow out.

Cheers!

I was shocked to see Chase Amie’s recent video where she said she told her rose gold classic flap. She has a good reason though and it is better not to hoard the bags when you are not using them. But this is such a beautiful bag. Probably sold over thousands of dollars:

I noticed this too and was wondering if someone else would bring it up. I wonder if she sold at a reasonable price or made thousands off the bag. She doesn't say.

Wasn't it a classic flap? I bet she sold thousands of dollars over in 5 figures. It is one of those unicorn bags and I have not seen Chanel release a color combination like that since that collection.

Does anyone have a YouTuber they recommend that review ready to wear? I love the RTW thread but being able to see pieces in motion in everyday settings is super helpful given that these days you have to know what you like before it is available! TIA :)
