I feel bad that I really enjoy nicer clothing and expensive shoes/watches/bags. I make low six figures and have quite a lot in retirement accounts and no debt. My living expenses are very reasonable and I’m pretty frugal outside of my wardrobe stuff.

I feel dumb for supporting some of these luxury good companies. But I really like their products because they’re high quality and last a long time and look really nice.

Am I lib?

Like others have mentioned, it’s not any worse than supporting fast fashion stuff. Buying things that last a long time vs. always replacing things is probably one of the better things you can as a consumer if you have the means to do so.

Have you considered buying 2nd hand luxury? It’s more work to shop for since you’re not able to always choose colors/styles but you’re not directly supporting these companies and it’s slightly more sustainable. It’s what I’ve been doing with heels/boots and I got a pair of fendi booties in great condition that I wear all the time for a fraction of the price.
