[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people with true wealth don't show it off in that manner. In Aspen the people who can afford to live there year round don't wear recognizable brands. In Greenwich the people who have the private jets look well dressed by ordinary. There's no need to show off, and if anything, they are trying to look more conservative and modest for their kids and safety. [/quote]

This isn't true. I see lots of Cartier and Van Cleef in Greenwich and other HCOL areas.

[b]I wear Cartier Juste un Clou and Bvlgari Serpenti bracelets most days. They're not as recognizable. These luxury brands have more offerings than Love and Alhambra.[/quote]

Sigh.

The Cartier nail collection, Juste un clou, is ridiculed around the world as being on the list of stupendously higher margin items that luxury companies can make people buy just because of the brand name. Just like the Balenciaga roll of tape bracelet. There is no craftmanship that went into any of those items, unlike the expert work that master jewelers put into actual works of art from some of these same houses. If you look at intricate jewelry pieces from Mikimoto, Van Cleef, etc, you can recognize the artistry and experience that it takes to create such works. But a bent nail around your finger? They're laughing at you.

I am French and know quite a bit of that world and I really want people to understand that the luxury world has no respect for entry-level buyers like that. You're just projecting that you're desperate for a foothold into haute couture and don't know artistry if it hits you on the head.
