Simply stated - Someone who can't understand, can't appreciate. I thought a Hindi proverb would fit nicely with this Indian inspired masterpiece from Chanel. It's very hard to explain to people who don't love what you love, why you spent so much money on something. It's not very often a woman doesn't try to justify her $3000 handbag to another woman who has rudely asked her, "How much did that cost?"
We value things that will hopefully last a lifetime, sometimes hold their value and sometimes even increase in value. This CHANEL Gripoix Medallion necklace is from the Haute Couture Collection of 1993. On my website you'll find pictures of Claudia Schiffer wearing this in the original CHANEL ad. The tags are still on it. Yes, that's what I said, the original tag is still on this mint condition piece and if the price were not crossed out, I'm willing to bet it went for much less in 1993 which really proves my point.
And the next time somebody asks you how much something you're wearing costs, tell them to mind their own business. Seasons Greetings!
