10 Surprising ‘Low-Quality’ Things Rich People Won’t Even Bother Buying
As average folks, we’ve all got a pretty good idea of which things are luxurious and which are rooted in frugality. But the question of quality through the eyes of a super-rich person is a little more, shall we say, refined. We explored a couple of Reddit threads to find out which material items rich folks consider “low quality,” from big-name designer brands to, in some cases, Champagne.
1. Brand Names With Big Logos
“Designer clothing with big labels.” –u/AmexNomad
2. Louis Vuitton
“Louis Vuitton. Never liked it, never will. Mass-produced and just wants to make sales.” –u/Santal33nStocks
3. Cheap Wine
“I love wine. I love good wine. It’s art in a bottle, it’s something to share, etc. I spend a lot of money on good wine and spirits, far far far more than I should.” –u/Ok_Swimming4427
4. So-Called ‘Luxury’ Vehicles
“Unreliable ‘luxury’ vehicles like Range Rovers.” –u/WarmestSeatByTheFire
5. Balenciaga
“Balenciaga is currently tacky and ugly, even apart from the scandal but especially now.” –u/Flightlessbirbz
6. Gucci Belts
“The Gucci belts because you can easily buy them from AliExpress, therefore making them look cheap.” –u/Melanin_felon_xo
7. Designer Shades
“I never liked designer sunglasses but that’s probably because I lose sunglasses all the time.” –u/kirbyxena
8. Chanel
“Chanel. I used to work at a luxury marketplace, the quality has gone downhill. A new bag can have unfrayed stitches. I’m not paying thousands for visible defects lol.” –u/CommercialHurry9414
9. Dior
“Dior!!! The amount of very obvious quality issues on the last Dior bag I bought was appalling (I returned it). It looked like it was a cheap fake from a street vendor. Obviously, the whole debacle with their labor practices and the costs to make their bags hasn’t helped their case in my mind either.” –u/dazzledaisy397
10. Champagne
“Champagne is one of the few things I believe is priced according to quality. There’s a few of the more well-known brands that might be inflated but usually dollar for dollar the more it costs the better it is.” –u/Evodnce
