Yeah she clearly is a impulse shopping problem.
Previously, she claimed to always think hard before purchasing...but now its clear shes just buying stuff to return or sell and keep her channel growing.
If you just purchased 3 popular Chanel bags recently....why get the Lady Dior??
Its not like its being discontinued and at this point I dont think she wears half of her bags.
It just seems irresponsible (even if she can afford it) given she has a family.
Dont get me started on those bags and slgs she bought to “save” for her 11 year old child, Lol!
Just in time for the 21A drop. I had a haunch about the red flap and I'm telling ya the black lamb m/l flap shw will go next.
Her Chanel collection is getting more polished lol from “vintage” to the most hoarded ones (21P, beiges and 21A soo ). That’s how you fit in the “influencer “ crowd. You get the rare and they hype for the sub /follows
I think CWC is especially annoying because of how inauthentic she is. If she just owned up to being a reseller instead of pretending to be a minimalist, I would have more respect. I also used to find her voice soothing and now, but now it sounds like nails on a chalkboard...
I agree, I think if she was open and honest about what she is doing and yes to each their own - then it would sit better rather than the pretence to be something when you’re not. I truly used to enjoy the content and found her voice soothing too but now I don’t find the opinions, reviews etc genuine because this whole cycle of purchase / sell / purchase is a tad bit too much for the content to be genuine. I think it’s true when they say personality is what makes a person attractive beyond surface beauty, and I somehow don’t find her voice soothing anymore too. Rather comes across smug now. Anyway it is meant to be positive criticism- if you are reading it.
Let’s all remember when she was portraying purse peace with her lambskin flap, white flap she won from raffle, jumbo , clutch and woc. And the saga of unicorns and personal shopping began where she got lost of her format. And because she was caught off guard , she still injects aspiring minimalism on her posts.
Influencing people to buy less while you offer your service is quite opposite. You can just put up a consignment format and stop with all these “I love it.. keeping it.. I’m purse peace reviews” when we know when something much unicorn comes in, they would be sold. Sincerity and intentions are always better than soothing voice.
Yup, she said the same about her card holders. She was “done” collecting them until she suddenly had to have a patent leather one..LOL!
If she just owned up to her impulse shopping, film and resell problem, nobody would care.
The fact that she started her channel with under 5 lux bags and now shes probably pushing 10-15...def isnt minimalism.
Oh, of course. That is not what I meant, companies don't decrease prices! I just mean the people who paid like an inflated price for a caramel mini or flap or whatever bag they wanted, it will not hold its value once people jump to other stuff now. If they paid well over retail to begin with this past year. The people who paid too much over retail are going to not be happy because prices should stabalize and likely drop the inflated value/resale of their bags.
Yes I realized those groups are nothing but resellers that are marking up bags. It makes it very difficult to sell a reasonably priced bag from your own collection because buyers question why it is priced so low in comparison to these resellers.
I’m sure she did. She sells through a reseller who marks up the bag price as well.
I get that people have figured out a way to make a business of the luxury resell market. We have these individual lone-wolfer-instagram-youtubers, then we have the large FP of the world charging outrageous resell prices all under the guise of "luxury authentication".
I am surprised these luxury houses don't have a team of "scouts" who can call out the resellers. Perhaps, they should have an official reseller partnership program?
In the end consumers pay much more than MSRP for bag. The luxury stores are monitored on how they sell these bags. Can Saks take a popular bag, like caramel mini-rec and mark it up 50% over retail?
Meanwhile, consumers are paying for these bags. Then luxury houses are greedy AF driving up their prices! If I was CEO of said luxury house and see my product being sold over retail, I would continue to increase my prices as well.
Furthermore, product is taken from inventory to new and loyal customers to be resold for someone else's profit?
This is really souring me with luxury market. I will only buy from retail/boutique. If I buy pre-loved, I do not pay over retail.
This is getting out of hand. In regards to CC, this is eye opening information. I have followed her reviews on YT. I liked the video of her daughter picking out her favorite bags. I think she even mentioned the importance of investing in company stock, not just the bags.

The reseller she goes through has some ridiculous prices.I couldn’t even believe it
Did anyone catch yesterday that Julia Rose Boston is selling a small black caviar classic flap with gold hardware for $7600? If my memory serves correct on the current retail price, thats $1400 over retail for a bag you can get from the boutique with minimal effort.
