I genuinely feel for you, but can't not mention, that it's a very affordable amount of student loan debt. Wish you to pay it off though, and be done with it.

Isnt that....how pretty much everything is? Way cheaper to produce but marked a million times up.

Ok I thought I was reading that incorrectly like "That's how capitalism works unforch".

I'm guessing the smoke (rightfully) is because of them exploiting workers and making sure their subcontractors...don't do that.

People buy them under the assumption they were made in an exclusive Italian atelier with the best materials in existence.

We know it is a lie. But their consumers.....don't?

This exactly, they show the beautiful ateliers with minimal employees showcasing small batch craftsmanship, and it’s a LIE!

this is exactly why i don't buy into the luxury designer brands bullshit

paying £1000+ for a purse?! and it's ugly and not ethically produced? what is even the point

No shit!

I also side eye this basic white „Drink your milk“ tshirt for 180 EUR as well. All these celebs make it seem like you are donating that kind of money by buying such an overpriced basic white tshirt but the company is actually only donation „something“ for „each shirt“ sold

lmao i saw the bridgerton cast wearing those dumb fucking shirts and was like yeah this isn't really working

I always dreamed if I won the lottery I would buy a Dior Saddle Bag purse so this made me laugh.

I can't justify spending that amount of money on a bag. The most I do is Kate Spade when they have their 75% off sales lol

i have a few kate space bags ive bought from consignment stores and even then thats a splurge for me lol. i think the most ive paid was $150. i do love their designs but theres no way im spending $500 for it
