Can Luxury Truly Be Quiet?

- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- Hi guys, I'm Eileen. Quiet luxury seems to be trending at the moment. Could it it be that the logomania trend has been celebrated for too long, and people are now ready for a change? Or is it a timely trend to coincide with the grim economy? Either way, do you think luxury can truly be quiet? Some of the low-key luxury bags (with no logo or monogram) are in fact the loudest in the market. Let's talk xx

Thank you for watching this video about why I chose to embrace moderation, whether if it's minimalism, work, leisure, of life xx
Let me just say this- one of the best examples of quiet luxury is your channel and your personal style. It’s never going to be about a brand or a particular logo. It’s how you wear them. And you have that mastered❤ love your commentary on luxury items. Until next week.
You're too sweet! Thank you so much xx
When fashion is labeled (whether it be "quiet luxury" or "coastal grandma"), I believe that it is another marketing strategy to influence us into thinking we need to jump on the bandwagon. If you love logos, so be it. If you prefer a more subdued look, go for it. We should embrace our uniqueness and follow the styles that suit you and make you feel comfortable and confident.
I have to say it influenced me when I was younger. Getting older really changes the view, so now I’m simply looking for quality or even try to sew things myself. Getting into vintage styles that can be bought second hand also helped me a lot :)
Thank you for being so considerate with every topic !
Absolutely love the idea of sewing things for yourself, must be so therapeutic! xx
I don’t necessarily need a logo. I need quality but I do feel self conscious at times and change my choices based on where I’m going. For example, I won’t wear any of my furs to Walmart. (We moved to a small town and do not have a lot of grocery options)
Dear Eileen: I appreciate that you put so much thought into the subject matters you present, esp. on more "touchy" topics like this one. You have your audience in mind, and are always respectful and considerate. I love your black shirt, btw, it is in this gorgeous true black colour that is hard to find! 🤩
You're so sweet! Thank you xx
Thank you Eileen. This is a topic of great interest to me, and I appreciate your insight. 'Quiet luxury' is how I have always liked to dress, which is to say I prefer clean lines, quality materials, and no logos, so it's funny how this is now having a moment! You have introduced me to high quality bags in my price range that I've not heard of, like Songmont and Ateliers Auguste. Please share more on this topic and include links! Many thanks
Noted, thank you! xx
I don’t find my pieces to be loud but I do love a good logo! I think it’s all about balance. I really only purchase from a few designer brands, so my outfits are pretty cohesive and I usually pair them with logo-less contemporary brands so logos don’t clash. I am conscious of who I wear what in front of because unfortunately people do have strong opinions when it comes to designer goods and I’m not always interested in having a conversation about how I spend my disposable income. It’s sad because on the flip side I don’t encounter people who love designer goods that talk negatively about people who aren’t into luxury - usually they are the least judgmental (in my experience) people. When I was younger I assumed it would have been the opposite.
But the consumption of luxury goods seem to entice very strong opinions…
Very true! Many of my ex colleagues drive super cars but it’s kind of accepted in the industry but as soon as a woman is seen carrying a designer bag, a lot of discussion entails lol xx
you are so right. As soon as something is known by the mainstream it is no longer quiet. Polene has blown up so much I am already sick of it.
In my opinion, people (are insecure and) want to feel special. Before, they wanted to look “rich” and successful by wearing designer logos. Now, everybody caught up to the fact that wearing designer logos doesn’t mean you’re rich. Thus people invented “quiet luxury” to distinguish themselves from “lowly” logo wearers. It’s sad.
sadly yes, well said : (
And the rise of “quiet luxury” is a marketing scheme to make people “need” to build a wardrobe from scratch. So the fashion industry can profit from it.
If everyone is happy with their current wardrobe, who’s gonna feed the industry?
I won’t fall for that. I have small logos, big logos, non-brand, no-logo fashion items. I buy what I liked at that time. I won’t ditch / buy something new for the trend or for the sake of looking luxurious.
The true luxury is freedom.
Thank you for sharing! xx
My issue with this conversation is the obsession with class. Is it not enough for some people to have enough disposable money to buy luxury goods? Do they have to rank where they fall in the hierarchy? Do they have to judge or belittle “new money” which is what loud luxury used to be referred to? Do people have to worry about if others are carrying fakes and are if that devalues or diminishes what they have? Buy what you like and appreciate the relative amount of privilege you have.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! xx
Really enjoyed this video - as an longtime logo lover I am slowly realising than logo is not necessary to enjoy some status … I have just subscribed to your channel 😊
❤️❤️
I'm not a fan of logomania. I believe that one item with a logo per outfit. Otherwise, it comes across as screaming "look at me!" Great video Eileen, love your style.
Thank you!! xx
I love collecting second hand LV monogram, however the attention is like a spotlight that doesn't feel chic, but garish. I still love to them for short trips, I just don't take them to work or walking in the city.
Great video as always! I love quiet luxury. Simple and classic wins the day for me!
❤️
Logos mean nothing as there are so many fakes around. I always say wear whatever makes you happy, just be aware of your choices. Because at the end of the day, the question to ask ourselves is, why do I need a (quiet or not) designer bag or tshirt and not one coming from a small unknown brand? What hole inside, what low self esteem, what societal pressure etc etc etc am I filling this way? It can be a fascinating discovery of ourselves and hopefully a road to a better life.
Thank you for sharing! xx
Great vlog Eileen , all my items are in storage and I won't get them back until next year. It will be like Christmas day.some things will be gushed over others
What a great idea!! I do that with my little boy's toys too, it's funny how after 6 months, he gets so overjoyed to play with his old toys again xx
People should wear what they want. I go by my mood, sometimes I’m quiet & sometimes I’m obnoxious. 😜 I do not care to fit in anymore at 47. 😆 thanks for sharing my lady. 🙏🏼❤️😘😘❤️Sandy
Love that! Be yourself xx
Trends come and go and come back again. Birkin ans Kelly have become too "loud" for my liking when a K25 used to be my dream bag. Now if only vintage Joseph Duclos bags existed 😊
Thank you for introducing me to Joseph Duclos! Such beautiful designs xx
I bought an older epi leather handbag from Louis Vuitton when I had some envy. I’ve always liked their epi leather more. I feel self-conscious with logos
Oh the LV epi leather is beautiful! From what I remember, it's very lightweight too xx
Hi! As always wanna thank you for interesting videos and also for being a perfect example of minimalist without being too extreme. Finding balance is very precious in life. And you are helping me to find mine! Thank you!
I like logo-less designer bags because I want the quality, but I don't want to advertise that I have money. I'd rather not get mugged.
I think there's a place and time for both. I love the practicality of coated canvas but one would be hard pressed to find coated canvas without a monogram. Sure, goyard and faure le page have coated canvas and are more subtle with their logo but LV still has more functional bags and is more accessible in that they have more stores around the world.❤
Leather is beautiful but sometimes one just wants to use a canvas bag.
I don't like the feeling of being Controlled and this is Exactly what I see in Trends. So I buy/wear what I like/love Eileen. I find it hard to Keep Up With the Kardashians... not a cute thing to do when you can't afford to and even if I could, I Wouldn't!🫤 I don't care about the Quiet Luxury Trend as I don't follow trends. Concerning the current Financial Climate - I Am Aware of it, but I'm not buying/wear quiet luxury for this reason...No. Another Awesome Video Eileen. 💛✨️
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts xx
I agree that luxury goods is exclusive and personal and is what works for you. Whether with or without printed logo is product dependent; LV monogram canvas as you mentioned has value in the printed logo which I love and would want no other way whereas Hermes Birkin has recognizable design that states its value without any logo. Luxury may be quiet or loud depending on how the product is styled instead of solely the existence of logos. Thanks for sharing.
I think quite luxury is just a passing trend. I have always been a " quiet luxury " person because I like low-key classic style.
Thank you for sharing xx
The Gucci logo tee and Lora Piana stripe tee are both extremes - I personally don't like either. I prefer to spend my money on a beautiful blouse from Zimmermann......it doesn't shout a logo but IYKYK!
I quite like Roland Mouret tops too xx
Oh yes, Zimmermann! Works of art 😀
Will be gifted or recycled but one thing is for sure they will all now be vintage. Thank you for the great vlog. Cheers from Melbourne.😊👩💼
Thanks for watching! xx
I recently bought a vintage black Delvaux Tempête PM for $700 after intl shipping. That bag may even be older than me but the quality is SUPERB. I have never wanted another bag since. Luxury to me is vintage. Craftsmanship that was able to stand the test of time, love and care from the previous owner(s) who valued their possessions and wanted them to last long. I try to get the best quality for the best value because I absolutely do not believe that the high prices of the popular brands are "deserved" (not handmade, quality issues, unjustified price increases etc).
$700 for a Delvaux is such a bargain! What colour is the bag in? xx
I started my sustainability journey about 6 years ago and that changed everything for me. Sustainable lables have amazing quality and they are way cheaper than luxury fashion. For me the cost per wear factor us very important and i find with second hand and midrange lables i get the most out of my money. I prefer non branded clothes, but i have to admit I gave in and bought the ysl take-out bag. I eyed it for so long and i got it 2nd hand for €600. It's branded, but I couldn't get the bag out of my mind. If i want something, i always wait and see if i still think about it in 3 months and than i buy it. This is working for me.
That's amazing! Which sustainable brands would you recommend? I'd love to look them up xx
@@ColourfulNoir mother of pearl , mila vert, the slow label, jan'n June,
LV can be loud but also can be classy, depends on what item. New Celine isn’t that quiet since the new bags have brand’s logo. I like Hermes garden party tote, many people think not worth the money, but hard to tell its brand unless you’re a Hermes fan.
Love this ❤
Thank you! xx
I love my neverfull
I think companies are trying to make money while a bad recession is happening without being distasteful also I don’t know if people feel safe carrying their expensive bags around in a bad economy, and I think this is true for most husbands if they know the logo it’s well known although I talk about these things to my husband so he knows about all these brands other guys don’t so I guess there are exceptions to this but that is a pretty good rule to follow your friend is right 😂
Hahaha glad you agree! xx
Nice perspective
Thank you! xx
@@ColourfulNoir your welcome
I have been looking at the LV Palm Spring mini for the longest time. I'm 46 this year and usually prefer bags without logo. But this little backpack is so cute and now that the hype is "over" ( and with the recent price increase), they are readily available on the website. Do you still love this bag? Do you find the monogram too loud? I am also a bit worried that the bag is too "cute" for my age.....
Totally get your points. In fact, it looks like many 'hot' LV bags are now readily available on the website (it looks me ages to get the backpack as it was constantly sold out 🙈). I still really love the mini backpack despite the changing landscape xx
The difference between Ms Richie and tha K person is class vs trash. Also expensive does not equal luxury and also luxury doesn't equal expensive. I alays dress pretty classic/understated/low key way and indeed even if I didn't why would I change my style? I love your Atalier Auguste. Right up my street. Know yourself and your style and enjoy what you have. Simple ;D
I've been loving the bag too! xx
You can't take "quiet luxury" literal. But for me, Bally of Switzerland is the epitome of quiet luxury - understated and under-rated. Any item that does have bold logo branding or a design like the Loewe Puzzle bag are all in-your-face bold luxury that clearly brands the name because they are known and noticeable brands. Ironically, I am that person who never wears brands or logos ever since high school when I was called a walking billboard for wearing a Ralph Lauren Polo paired with Calvin Klein Jeans. I don't understand why anyone would wear a tee shirt with the logo branding GUCCI. BALENCIAGA, VERSACE. It"s a tee shirt that helps market the brand by those that wear it - I get it.
I don’t have a lot of spare funds for luxury at the moment, but if I did, I would still go for the traditional fashion houses. I'm a big Dior fan and greatly admire their quilted leather bags, for example. Personally, I would still go for these brands because they signify luxury to ME. So many of these contemporary brands, fewer people have heard of them, but then again, I don’t know much about them either. To me it would just feel like buying a random bag at luxury prices, and it would not feel luxurious. I don’t feel the need to plaster a logo on everything I won, even if I did have the money, but the whole logo/loud luxury = new money/bad idea is just yet another manifeststion of elitism and I find it tiring. My family isn't wealthy and never had been. There is no point in me pretending otherwise.
Quiet or loud doesn’t matter as long as they’re authentic and the person can afford it. Periodtttt. Only the insecure ones who don’t have luxury items coined the term “ quiet” luxury
Luxury is only quiet for those who don’t know the specific items. Logos don’t matter.
Logo signifies tacky and classless.
I hate logo😡
You know how to "milk" a subject to create a video every now and then !!
And @the same time showing off your possessions....
Quiet luxury means ...to be quiet about it !!
Just my two cents about what seems like a popular topic at the moment😀
