I have the aspirations of someone with Jeff Bezos money, but the wallet of Joey from Friends. So, there's no designer decor in my future... OR IS THERE?
Hello, galaxy brain idea! So, here's how this works: You pick the cheapest thing a luxury brand has to offer (this is usually a beauty item) and order it. It'll get sent in some bougie AF packaging.
The best part about ordering luxury items is all the luxury freebies you get. And I guarantee you'll get more use out of them than Sephora's VIB perk samples. Man, those things suck.
She ordered cotton pads, Chanel style. Each one comes stamped with the Chanel logo! They retail for $35, so which a pretty good deal to get yourself some expensive-looking home decor.
Now you have a bougie box to display in your closet, and you didn't have to break the bank to get it! This would look so cute in your house, I know it.
You do get quite a few for $35. It's way more than you SHOULD spend on cotton pads, but it's pretty cheap for Chanel. I would have expected $50 at least.
No, like... this really is the only Chanel thing I could justify. At least you get a lot with this purchase, unlike buying their beauty items. I'm sorry, those eyeshadows have no pigmentation. I said it, I meant it.
Including me. I went through her TikTok AND her Instagram looking for a picture at the very least, but nope. So, just picture a box in a closet. Thanks.
In fact, the idea was so popular that TikTok cleaned Chanel out of their Le Cotton Pads. Users had to wait to buy them while they were on backorder!
Not gonna lie, I kind of want to do it, too. I am not immune to that logo. I am a simple woman with extremely bougie taste on a budget, y'all.
This user had a Chanel shopping bag laying around, so she straight-up laminated it. She then grabbed some gold eyelets and got to work attaching them to the bag.
Once all the eyelets are hammered in, it's simply a matter of reattaching everything with some ribbon! I love the sheer, black ribbon she used here, it's very Chanel.
It's all finished! Now, this may not be for everyone, but there's something so fun and nostalgic about this glam throwback moment. The pearls are such a fun addition!
If you're a fan of designer stuff, this is a really fun and accessible way to get those labels without forking over tons of money to them. Lifehack to the extreme!
