>>143947 (I can tell by the way you write the euro sign), most of my possessions are of the cheap and polyester variety. As of next month it'll probably be my Gloverall duffle since I'm tired of getting frostbit every winter in a thin dress coat. I'll have to get it used though since I can't afford a new one.
For electronics it's my Sony mirrorless with all the lenses. That's about £900 easy.

I have a Louis Vuitton bag that I received as a Christmas present from my mother. See attached, retails for about $1400. My mother is crazy about designer items so she always gifts me with Coach and Tiffany's stuff, this is the most expensive item to date. I never even take it anywhere because I'm too scared someone is going to try and mug me for it. So I'd say it's not worth the money because I don't use it. The quality is good though and would probably last me a long time if I did use it.

A ball-jointed doll. I have a few, but one has probably totaled between $500-600 after buying it eyes, wig, clothes, etc.
Is it worth it? Yes and no. I really do love this doll and the others I have, but I would never spend so much on something so frivolous these days. I've found that I'm much happier investing money in myself.

I have a few MK things because I am as basic bitch and like the watches but I think oddly the most expensive thing I have is a first print edition copy of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass double print. It was printed in 1875 and it's stupidly valuable. It was my graduation present from my father because Alice is the first book he read to me as a child.
I didn't buy it incidentally but it feels worth it to me. I cherish it a lot as a sentimental item not as a collector thing.

Forreal though anon, enjoy your bag. It's nice, it will last ages as long as it's not abused, it isn't so ostentatious you couldn't wear it with a number of outfits, but unless you live in a horrible area you should be just fine.

When I was in Austria a couple of years ago we went in a traditional shop and I tried dirndls on just for funsies. They were all unique and beautiful, so nicely crafted. I tried on the girliest one I could find and the outfit came to about €350. I was so excited that I bought it and lived off beans when I went home.
It was not a very sensible purchase. I've worn it twice and tbh 2 years down the line it's a little hard to breathe in. I love it though.

This is similar to the bag I have. I forgot the name of it but it's Skinner and taller looking if that makes sense. Cost me around $500 dollars. Most expensive bag I own that's not a replica. Most expensive jewelry I own is a set of rings, each 300 (one sapphire, one ruby one). Most expensive item overall is my computer setup, around 3K ish.
>>143966Depends where you live. In my country people will mug you for anything really even something like coach is seen as super luxury since everything is more expensive here (for example, a Mercedes that cost 30k in the united states cots 60k here).
>>143962LV is pretty lux, although I do find those big label printed bags tacky. They do have some amazing things like the the lockme 2 bag and many others. Coach has gone downhill for years due to shitty marketing but I think they are working on that for now.

>>143964I think in terms of health I think they are a little more delicate. More susceptible to cuts and he's had half his tail amputated after slicing it on something a workman left in our garden. Apart from that he has what I think are dust allergies. Though as a breed I hear they are pretty healthy as long as they are from legit breeders, They are prone to a genetic heart condition which good breeders will scan for. but you can never know these things.
Care isn't as hard as people make it out to be. Bathing really depends on how dirty the cat gets. They're all different. And how much you care about greasy marks on your soft furnishings. I don't tend to wash him any more than every couple of weeks and its a 5 minute job. Cutting nails can be a pain if they develop a hatred for it like mine has. But we manage :) they are so worth it. I've had many ordinary cats who have been lovely but they never came close in terms of personality and affection.

I did buy a vintage silk duvet cover that I love for only $30-$50, and that would usually retail for hundreds of dollars.

Chanel jumbo flap bag in black caviar leather with gold hardware. It's ~$5,500 + tax in stores iirc so I bought a preowned one. It has a crease on the lower part and the sides are very slightly pushed out because of overstuffing by the previous owner, but that can be fixed with some clips on the interior. It cost me just under $3,600 so saving thousands on a good condition is fine with me.
It's worth it to me, I wanted a timeless and versatile bag that I could wear with everything, formal or casual. Super satisfied with it.

My taste is pleb-tier, but probably these shoes. I bought them 5 or 6 years ago when they were a big thing… and they're real Vivienne Westwood x Melissa ones and not Taobao knockoffs. It was a pain in the ass to find my size and I ended up having to go a half-size bigger because they were only in whole-sizes (or, at least the ones I managed to find that were in-stock), but I still think they were worth it.

>>143992I spent a solid 2 weeks searching for them when I bought them. I honestly wish I could wear them more, but I pursued a science degree (and now work in a lab) so open-toed shoes are frowned upon. I love them so much though… and their weird fake bubblegum smell.

If animals are ok, definitely my horse. Bought him for 14 000€ and it costs 600-800€ every month to keep him, I've had him for about 8 years so he has been draining my bank account a lot. Worth the money.
After that, electronics excluded, probably my Tommy Hilfiger watch. It was around 200€.

Mine would be this. It's actually not the most expensive thing I own (my mother collects Hermes and Chanel and has given me some), but so far it's the most expensive thing I've got since I've gotten a "real" job out of college. Aka making a name for myself and not just making connections, experience, and lousy pay.

My computers (imac and macbook), but I need those for my job, and my car. They're all paid off, and next time I need a car I'm paying in cash since the interest on the loan was not something I want to repeat. I could afford it, but it was a complete waste of money.
For clothes: I once bought a pair of Camilla Skovgaard boots, that were $270 in the sales. Since the internet told me they run small I sized up one whole sixe, which was a huge mistake. They were way too big, even after putting silicon insoles and what not in them. I never wore them anywhere since I'd have broken my ankles, and a year later I sold them on ebay for $160. Never doing that again. Now I only buy shoes online from brands that have consistent sizing and I already own pairs off.
>>186509>it makes me happier than spending my disposable income on takeout coffee or designer clothes.There's no shame in that, anon.

>>185057Agree. How something feels and fits is more important than the brand. I look for good quality stuff in second hand stores for clothes, coats, blazers, suits and skirts. Shoes I want new, so I usually wait for the sales.
