Preowned across all price points. I wonder if designer would be a higher percentage?
I love all the pink Sophie – I actually think it gives Elle Woods 🙂
I love my preowned jumbo Chanel with the big Cs.
I hope Alessandro keeps the creative vision he brought to Gucci, reviving the brand with his unique vision and approach (both on the comercial pieces but also the runway asthetics and maximalism that really distinguished him at gucci) and doesn't take an MGC at Dior approach – which in my opinion has diluted the whimsical and dreamy aspect of the brand (especially compared to John Galliano and Raf Simmons) – making it all about the bags/ accesories for profit reasons and forgeting about the fashion and innovation – especially in the Haute Couture which barely looks any different from the RTW (in a design perspective, no disrespect to the ateliers that craft the pieces).
Hi Sophie, thanks for an interesting video. Look forward to seeing your new channel ❤
Regarding Valentino…. A lot of us went off them when they took the smaller Mario Valentino to court (and rightly so, lost)… I defected to MV thereafter and besides, Mario's bags are nicer for a fraction of the price. X
Hi Sophie, tjank you for another great video. I really looking forward Alessandro Michele as creative director at Valentino, i m sure he will bring back those light and frothy gowns in all shades of pastels that were the signature look of Valentino in the 60s and 70s…i think Alessandro is a perfect match for the House😊
His name is Alessandro Michelle…pronounced “ Mikele”…..😊❤
I have stopped browsing on H&M website because they are selling other brands, not sure if they are trying to be Debenhams or something 🙄
Fast fashion,luxury. Doesn’t matter. Over consumption is overconsumption. It wrecks the planet.
And honestly, wishing that you bought something due to a price increase later on is exactly what they want.
This is such a timely video for me as today I have received a pre loved Neonoe! It’s in perfect condition and if it’s been used more than once I’d be amazed! I had a similar experience a few years ago with a brand new Bayswater in my dream limited edition colour which had sat at the bottom of the buyers wardrobe and never used! You have to look very carefully and be a bit discerning but you can get some real gems. A lot is down to luck and timing but I love the preloved market and I love selling items I no longer want to give them a new home with someone who’ll love them. With the crazy increases we’ve seen in the last 3-5 years, I can only see the preloved market growing., particularly with the authentication options now available. There’s only so much you can justify paying for the experience of buying in store!xx
Valentino has closed the Red Valentino line last year, I am so sad about it😢
The V sling top handle is hands down the best, I hope it’s kept
I have been shopping pre-loved since I was at school . I have the eye .I am 55 and have some fantastic pieces. I regret getting rid of a Christian Dior blazer I bought in 1990 for £1.50 from Oxfam.
Love pre-love gems my lady. ❤️ thanks for sharing. 🙏🏼😘😘😘Sandy
Pre loved – no one will know when you bought the item so might as well buy at more than half off.
I love preowned bags. Why pay so much? I get my bags when I go to Japan. Except for cheaply made Gucci bags from 70's and 80's – I think new bag's quality isn't as good as vintage bags.
I made a mistake and turned down a great offer on Poshmark for an LV monogram PM tote bag back during the pandemic shopping boom and just accepted $200 less to get it out of my closet. Although more people may be open to preloved (or pushed to buy it based on economic factors) I don’t think that customer is as willing to spend unless the item is special/hard to find.
Just a heads up, I was in the Dior store in Florence over the weekend and the SA hinted that another price increase is coming in the next days/weeks…..I give up
Unfortunately, with the increasing scandal of the pre-loved market selling fakes, super fakes, and possibly knowingly doing so, there is a greatly growing distrust of these secondhand companies in their ability to provide authentic pre-loved items. As a result, I am no longer going to buy from these businesses. I will now choose to buy from the source. However, with the increased prices from the main fashion houses, that will also drastically limit any future purchases. I am going to love what I currently have. I don’t trust the fashion industry anymore.
I have discovered an amazing brand from the late 80s 90s and basically collected all nice items of it, like Pokemons, from Vinted. The quality for absolutely fabulous prices is what changed my mind on quality. I now have a fantastically curated wardrobe and a nice collection of said brand it will last me for years to come❤
Middle class people are consuming more than ever, by volume, and expecting kudos for 'slumming it', I find it quite repugnant. Things like charity shops exist for the poor, not for someone who wants to wear something once then keep it in a cupboard, as I overheard one girl bragging from behind a mountain of clothes. Resellers also screw over the poor on needed items like job interview clothes.
We have The Guardian overseas as well! They're a great source for neutral reporting.
And yeah this makes sense to me. It's much easier to sell my secondhand things or buy things secondhand. It's fun, ethical and pleasant. I've made new friends through it. It's a nice community.
I shop on Poshmark sparingly as well.
H&M clothes are rubbish! As for the ‘Birkin journey’ I do not feel sorry for them. If someone cannot buy green vegetables I feel sorry for them. Not for being unable to access a bag! Thank you for the video.
I love your jacket. Where is it from?
Loving the "Fashion News" segment! x
Sophie, don't you have any heating your house???
I feel like fast fashion has evolved to hyper fashion. The quality of the products these brands are producing is so disappointing. There are so many things that you can purchase pre-loved from brands like Sandro Paris, Theory, AMI Paris, etc, that will last you years. I have gotten such great deals on these items second hand that I will not go back into an H&M or Zara unless I absolutely have to.
