These are all the issues I struggle with, too! At the end of the day, I realize there is some intrinsic value to owning a Cartier, Hermes, VCA, etc. There is a confidence in the quality of the product and a deep-rooted heritage. So, we are paying for the brand and legacy for sure. I also find myself shifting my priorities though. A few years ago, I placed a lot of value on handbags and went through an Hermes phase. Now my focus has moved towards jewelry and obtaining items that make me happy!! But it definitely comes at a cost. Totally first world problems we are lucky to have.:biggrin:

1000% times YESSSSS!!! literally everything i am thinking!!!

quite frankly i also think the same thing about a VCA piece i have bc it has porcelain and i just think did i actually pay all that money for porcelain??? yes obviously i enjoy it but there are still times where i feel was i stupid for spending all that money for it?

Exactly. It's not an affordability issue. It's a worth issue. Sometimes, I think, "Is this Hermes bag worth it?" but then I think of all of the craftsmanship behind it and it's definitely worth it to me. With the diamond JUC, I'm not sure that a few extra diamonds justifies doubling the price in terms of how it's made, especially when I can get a really nice VCA piece for less or TWO plain juc bracelets. When you think about it, $12K for a piece of jewelry (considering the cost of diamond jewelry) isn't that bad, but it's so much more than the plain and for only a few extra diamonds. Are we being foolish to pay this much? Is Cartier pulling one over on us?

Very interesting conversation. Seems like we all have same thoughts running in our minds.
So many times, I have looked at my H bags and thought ...it's just a leather, what is so special about spending $$$$$ on it :-s:P
I guess in the end it has to be worth it for us...

I don’t think it’s crazy to have both, I started off with Plain WG JUC and went from there. JUC is more interesting than Love to me. [emoji16] View attachment 4021459
