I'm French, and here there are so many girls who go crazy for Maje, Claudie Pierlot, and Bash, but truly, these brands are extremely overpriced given the quality.
I got secondhand blazer from my sis. 50% wool n 50% cashmere, I just need to replace the buttons. Cant find similar blazer with such composition nowadays. What even is a blazer without pockets 😅
sometimes synthetics are really useful, like in athletic wear, and blended sweaters with mostly wool and a bit of acrylic or poly can hold together better than 100% wool. but in a brand like this with designs geared towards a vacation-y style make more sense to be 100% natural, since poly isn’t the best for breathability.
The simple answer is: NO. Synthetics are an awful choice whichever way you look at it. They attract sweat/body odours and hold onto them- no washing can really help. That's why athletic wear gets that ever-present musty stench, no matter how many times you wash the garments. Blended with natural fibres (e.g. wool)? A popular belief is that they strengthen the finished garment...when in fact, they make the garment/cloth weaker (on purpose). Synthetics hamper the natural crimp/elasticity of sheep's wool. If I only could sit you down to a spinning wheel and show you the difference (a well-seasoned spinner/weaver here)....
I don’t even know where to find anything that ISN’T polyester anymore. And the brands aren’t ashamed to charge so much for it too 😭
They've learned a new trick; to call it "recycled" and charge more. H&M has been a big culprit lately. It's the greenwashing for me!
Get a sewing machine and buy better quality fabrics. I'm trying to learn currently.
I started sewing my own clothes. It costs less and is perfectly tailored to me
Alexander mcqueen has polyester skirts sold for more than 1000 USD 🥴
@@sakura-hw1zialexander mcqueen is luxury and luxury brands arent necessarily equating their pricing to quality

i dont consider pockets in blazers premium details, but basic details. if it doesn't have pockets, i won’t consider buying it for even a second
Even if I don't shop these shop, I learn from your videos.
Like how are people really paying retail for this stuff??? That ain't me. Not even at the sale rack.
I live in Paris and the go to brands for workwear or dressing well in general are these types of brands. I don’t get it. Why pay 300€ for polyester

not only are people digging a bigger debt hole from which they will not be able to escape easily, they are doing it with polyester...
These prices are ridiculous.
I would love to go on an educational shopping trip with you 🙌
I love your channel, useful, very educational.
It’s crazy to me how these shops are just around while there are none this expensive/quality in the region I live. Got no clue about luxury
I tried Claudie Pierlot, Sandro, and Maje and found that after a year I felt the quality did not match their prices.
Jenn, you are the best influencer in the world!
Are there synthetics you like?

Please review meshki
I can't find Sandro review video 😢
Maybevthey think no one will notice.
The quality of Maje got worse. I can't justify their prices anymore.
wait that's not how you say it though?
You’re pronouncing Maje incorrectly (former employee here)
That's not the way to pronounce Maje though.
This is what GREED looks like.
It’s way overpriced
Erm maybe stop bashing brands cos we know what to look for and suggest what is good?
