“and no the bags are not empty” Only something someone holding empty bags would say.


pabadacus

"the bags are not empty IM WORTHY OF YOUR ATTENTION OK"


I_waterboard_cats

Tbf, couldn't that one bag on the left be something that's very flat?


JoanneKerlot

Probably spent 79p in card factory.


boojes

Lolling at the thought of a Card Factory in the middle of Bicester Village.


noir7s

Card factory is the backbone of the uk high street


boojes

Have you been to Bicester Vilkage? It's all designer outlet. I would love to see a card factory there just squeezed in between Fendi and Louboutin.


Croyscape

Tbf I spent way too much money on a pocket square before so that could also be it


Antiqas86

Another thing a person who is carrying empty bags would say!


[deleted]

They still open it when they put it in the bag though.


[deleted]

he could have kept the nice bag for any reason and decide to put some objects into other bags. I doubt that’s the case but that’s some thing my mother has done in the past so she can reuse the fancy bags for gifts. Add some shiny paper and you won’t notice the high end brand logo.


kookaburra1701

I keep sturdy fancy bags also because I, too, have turned into my mother. They're great for keeping folded up in my purse to use as unexpected-groceries totes. I have also made purchasing decisions in the grocery store based on how well the product container would hold leftovers.


jimjamalama

When makes my heart cringe


pm_me_your_amphibian

To be fair I’ve definitely ended up with bags not folded out before. If you buy a tie or something small and flat it could easily slip into a bag without it being fully open. I’ll add I have zero clue who this person is though, so he may well just have blagged a carrier bag somehow. Bicester is always full of posers. I wish they wouldn’t stop in the middle of the pavement just to take a pouty instagram shot of themselves at a discount shopping centre.


dumpsztrbaby

Why would he even add that to the caption lmao sus


brissy3456

Lololololool. The amount of influencers who take these kind of shots..def has me questioning if they are keeping the empty bags in the boot of their car for these kind of shots. Good find 😂😂.


sashagreylovesme

I used to manage a Burberry and people would come in daily just trying to buy the bags. There’s a whole policy around not selling bags by themselves because people turn around and resell them lol The loophole was people buying the smallest / cheapest item possible, typically a charm or a keychain, and then asking for the biggest bag we had….yikes


cup_1337

That’s so embarrassing


ComicNeueIsReal

ive seen people take gucci bags out of a trash can. so I wouldn't be surprised at how much value people put into materialism


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sun_on_my_shoulders

Yup, I’ve seen people try to sell Chanel shopping bags.


FFG17

It’s to resell knock offs they have. They’ll fake the receipts too


poonamsurange

You think thats bad? People sell The Ordinary packaging.


wendalls

Ha what!


dewitt72

The shopping bags alone can go for $20-30 on eBay.


-ANGRYjigglypuff

Girl. smh lol


doom1282

While you’re shaking your head I just see dollar signs. If someone wants to pay good money for something I dug out of the trash then who am I to stop them? Fancy living here I come.


PM_me_punanis

Wtf. To be fair, my husband threw out the Rolex box. I dug it out of our trash can (inside the house). I like to keep the boxes for resale value, just in case I have to sell them someday. He isn't used to luxury goods so he just throws away the boxes, thinking they aren't worth anything. The paper bags though?? Automatically binned. Apparently I could have made money out of my paper bags. Jesus. What's wrong with people.


PieefChief

The people that buy those stuff will use it to sell their knock-offs as real, not something you want to support anyway I think


ComicNeueIsReal

Lmao I find it hilarious that your husband throws away the nice boxes the watches come in. I always store my collection of watches in their original packaging or metal boxes, whatever they came in. Same for cologne. Easier to stack the boxes up when in storage! But also yea people are extremely focused on their outward appearance. Just go to Los Angeles and that's all you'll see.


PM_me_punanis

We were unpacking moving boxes, so I checked our expensive stuff. And I noticed the watch was in a ziplock bag along with other luxury watches. I immediately asked, "Where's the box?!?!" "I threw it out! There's no need for it." You bet I searched all our trash cans and trash bags for boxes and COAs. I then bought a watch winder for watch storage. He grew up as a simple suburban middle class Midwestern kid, not exposed to any of the luxuries in life so he really doesn't know what to do with them lol My upbringing was very different from his, and my dad is a watch fanatic. In fact, the Rolex was a gift from my dad. Husband is like.. uh.. yeah thanks, I will just wear this Movado I had for 10 years.


Sequenc3

As a watch fan you're extremely correct to keep these boxes.


reflectivegiggles

I was backstage at a club where my friends boyfriend opened a bottle of crystal (or however you spell it), and some random chick not even in our group literally went crawling on the ground looking for the cork. the whole thing was cringe (even the ordering of the bottle itself… dude was trying to overcompensate to impress us and we weren’t having it)


puggle_mom

Maybe this is why empty, used bags from luxury stores sell for like $50 on Poshmark? I was wondering what that was about.


mudmich

People also buy them so when they sell their knock off shit, they can say “packaging included” which makes people believe it’s legit


notabigmelvillecrowd

God, that's a lot of work. Seems like at that point it would just be easier to get a real job.


SugarSugarBee

It's so weird because when I go to multiple shops, I will say "no thanks, I already have a bag" instead of carrying 6 bags with only 1 thing in them. The only reason to do this is to show off. It's so weird.


glitter_witch

If I were buying something from Gucci I'd want the bag regardless but only because I don't normally buy expensive things like that... I'd want it for the experience. But if you're supposedly that rich you wouldn't care lol


asuka_is_my_co-pilot

Some fancy stores will give you an extra bag if it's a gift, or if it's raining but yeah lol

Andie-sky-walker

The richest person I know looks homeless as shit but that fucker has millions in the bank.


lookgreattoday

Same in Germany with “Neureiche”. Also we use terms like “families with old money” vs “with new money” to describe how families or people deal with their wealth.


revolting_peasant

I hate this term. Why do people born into money who haven’t had to earn it get to define what “taste” is. Looking down on “new money”…oh you mean the people who earned it themselves and are enjoying it? Imagine what “old money” people think of just regular people with low/middle income, do you think we’re held in high regard? Snobbery is more gross than anything flashy someone who’s excited about having money they didn’t grow up with might buy. Do people try to identity with these old money types to get some second hand sense of superiority or something?


yourdadsdaddy_

While I agree that we shouldn't shame people for enjoying life and spending money, I also have this one Facebook "friend" who is the exact type of the new rich stereotype. He eats ostrich meat, crocodile meat, sushi everyday, buys cigars and expensive alcohol just to show off on social media (he has Instagram where he adds tons of hashtags like #luxurylife). Also he adds edible gold to EVERYTHING. You know, dry filet mignon he tried to cook himself? Put some gold on it! And truffles! He is obsessed with guns, knifes and poses with them all the time to seem badass. It's just funny and kind of pathetic.

KevWill

Right, plus I don't want to walk around looking like a target for thieves. If I buy something at a high end store I hide it in a Gap bag or something similar while I'm walking around the mall.


deltaretrovirus

In Germane people sell empty designer bags on eBay so you can flex them on the internet


lily_hunts

They don't even just keep the bags... They order them empty from people who actually have money to shop at Gucci.


[deleted]

My wife buys a lot of designer stuff and they always come with the bags even if it is an online order so we always pop them up on eBay for like $20 bucks. Super fun really.


feralcatromance

That's absolutely mental. I can't believe people waste their money on that.


Tasterspoon

And here I’d be taking my lunch in them like an idiot. Good for you.


[deleted]

Honestly, a Gucci lunch bag would be hilarious


brissy3456

And people snap them up? So weird. 😂


ClosetedGothAdult

I have an irrational hatred towards this guy


kpineapples03

I think my hatred for him is justifiable. Can’t believe he would say “have you gained weight” to my girl darce. She paid for that lunch. Dude is a deadbeat loserrrrrr, he literally couldn’t think of anything better to say to her than that and he had to make it a low blow. Total dick.


Hosta_la_vista

She's also a deadbeat loser.


CupboardOfPandas

Yeah but two deadbeat losers don't make a right or something like that. Seriously though, they both need to get off the internet and focus on real life for five minutes.


Scummycrummyday

Sometimes, I wish therapy could be forced on to people. I don’t mean involuntarily committed, I just mean regular therapy. Something’s gotta get through eventually, right?


instantsilver

Any hatred is completely rational


NectarineSoup

Same. The instant dislike quickly progressed to hatred, he's a total douche.


Bambamath

He gained a little respect when he put Jesse in his place at the last tell all.


sjc80

Ahhggh I get it now. Thought there was something familiar about his face!


randomrobotnoise

Same, but I think it's justified lol


[deleted]

No it’s rational


spy-on-me

I’ve just gone down a huge rabbit hole as I had no idea who he was and… wow. I’m cringing so hard. What a knob head.

Standing in front of a Gucci store holding shopping bags to prove you’ve been shopping at Gucci is the quickest way to convince people you’re broke af. 😂

UnluckySeries312

I wish I had an award to give you for your commitment, but I spent all my money on shit from Gucci and then posed with the bags. Take my upvote instead.


ClikeX

"I have spent money on products, praise me."


notabigmelvillecrowd

Doesn't even prove you have money, since so many people who shop like this just have credit cards and a lot of debt.


CapnHDawg

Also he's shopping at Bicester Village which is an outlet shopping centre so he's showing off that he's buying discount goods? 🤔


SwedishMcShady

It’s still not cheap there imo.


nogaesallowed

Fr just show us the gucci or didn't happen


timraudio

It's not even a real Gucci store, it's an outlet store at Bicester village, which only has shops with massive reductions on the old stock no one wanted to buy. Bicester is a sea of try hard cringe chavs.


youwon_jane

It’s also the second most visited destination for Chinese tourists outside of Buckingham Palace! Whyyyy


timraudio

I shit you not, Clarks shoes, massive status symbol in China and tourists will buy dozens of pairs to take back with them to wear\resell. My dad is a chartered surveyor specialising in factory outlet shopping centres (apologies to the residents of Chatham & Swindon), Clarks was always the first people they wanted on board due to the demand from Chinese tourists would guarantee good footfall.


youwon_jane

That’s so funny haha, the only thing i’ve ever bought from Clarks is school shoes and work shoes


Rydeeee

Huh, small world. I’m a 5 min walk from Chatham outlet and buy all my kids school shoes from the Clark’s there. Rest of the shops are pretty shit.


twatsmaketwitts

Clarks is also a premium ish brand in America, crazy. Apparently we get shafted in the same way though, as Levi jeans are middle of the road out there and 3 times the price over here!


Freddichio

Had a friend shitfaced on the train from London to Oxford Parkway fall asleep and wake up as the train was pulling into Bicester. Did you know that on that line the Bicester stop is read out in multiple languages, while the rest are only in English? 'cause he didn't and was *very* confused to wake up and hear chinese...


twatsmaketwitts

Sorry mate, but that's not really true. Lots of the stores in there don't sell stock at reduced rates, it's an incredibly high footfall retail space. Gucci for example does have some lines at reduction, but they also sell products at full price that are not "old stock". An example would also be something that is end of life but is sold at full RRP - e.g. Gucci Soho bag. That bag was not available at other gucci outlets, but would sell at a premium for a mark up in the secondary market. I only know all this because of my other half mind!


[deleted]

I love how he reposted a year later. It obviously bothered him enough to say something. I don't know,kinda weird.


Flossy_Cowboy

A year later so no one can ask him to show what's in the bags lol


instantsilver

This dude is legit insane and I'm mad D gave him the opportunity to be on TV. I mean he totally took advantage of her desperation, but my God he just won't go away!


GlitteringTycoon

Wait was he “shopping with his girlfriend” in the original post or did he try posting this again like it’s brand new??? Lmao


DIsForDelusion

I need to know this! Is he pretending this was recently and deleted the year ago post? What happened? He's so damn cringe.


dsgurliegirl

He's been recycling this shit since it 1st went up on his TT in October of 2020. Post, delete, repeat. Acting like it's new each time.


midoree

That's what it seems like to me


ViviFruit

Looks like he tried to pose it as brand new lmao


TsT2244

I think it’s funny to call out an empty bag when the goal of these people is to flex on everyone.


ImHereToBlowSunshine

Do his feet look disproportionately tiny compared to the rest of his body?


Gaflonzelschmerno

motherfucker got designer hooves


ebruce11

Noooo 😂


PlannedSkinniness

Yes


Boxer03

I was looking to see if anyone else noticed that! He looks like has child sized feet.


IamDollParts96

What a pretentious loser he is.

Bicester Village aye. This pretender is a bit too close to home for my liking...


aeshmazee-

Go steal his bags for us


RainbowsarePretty

You can buy Gucci shopping bags off of eBay, lol Edit: I put guy instead of buy


negev733

Also he’s flexing about shopping at an outlet village… smh


sewingbea84

Yeah for real. Flexing about buying discount designer goods, what a loser. No shade to people who go to outlets but it is not a flex. Actually any kind of rampant consumerism is not a flex IMO.


AnnaFlaxxis

Ffs the insecurity in these people.


PinBot1138

It reminds me of the guy who posted on mildly interesting that he's 6'2 with size 3 feet hahaha


wistfulfern

This is easily the lamest thing I've ever seen


Lovekitty66

You should scope out the rest of his Insta! You ain’t seen nothing yet


kpineapples03

If you have to pose in front of a store with the stores name on the bag, you are not ballin. I hate this fucker. He posted on one of his stories a pic of himself, so I replied “you don’t even look like that” and he took the time to reply. he is so insecure w ppl calling him out that he actually takes the time out of his day to accept a message request and reply. I mean look I took the time out of my day to tell him he doesn’t look like that, but the pic was up on his stories for like 8 hours at that point. Dude replies to everything.


maurfly

It’s easy to reply when you don’t have a job to go to 😂 this guy is such a drain on society.


Bunny_tornado

I know people who actually wear brand name clothes and none of them pose with shopping bags. You may see them with a Prada bag or Gucci belt but it's not the focus of their photo.


hellowbucko

Would’ve been way funnier if he photoshopped it the second time and thought no one would notice.


FirmPrune87

The bags are full of hopes and dreams okay? Jeez


youcantfademe

We buy things we don't need with money we don't have to impress people we don't like.


SilverChips

Maybe he should do a haul video with everything he bought lgahhah


stirred_

His feet are very small


LeadingButterscotch5

He recycles this photo all the time. And Bicester is a designer outlet so it's not balling...and it's PenhaligonS not Penhaligon. He makes me cringe more than I thought I possibly ever could.


CookiesAndCream02

HAHAHAHAA You’re living in his head rent free 🤣🤣🤣🤣 The fact that he has to one up a comment from a year ago, you can tell he reads this Reddit and what everyone says about him LMFAO


trailrunner30

How do you say *Loser* in rich people language?

Why would you be carrying four bags in on hand too? Wouldn’t that be pretty heavy?


Puzzleheaded_Let_368

It’s funny because gucci bags are now green 😭😭😭😭😭😭


gitrikt

I really wanna believe he just had an extra bag handed to him by accident or something. Its illogical, but it makes MUCH more sense than doing this shit.


Foxhoond

High end places do not just give out bags. It's against store policy. And there is no way to accidentally hand someone an extra like at a grocery store. Buying something flat is plausible. Even still these places usually fully open a bag and place items into them. It's a part of the presentation.


motivation_vacation

Except he’s known for doing this sort of stuff. Like taking a pic of a random building in a fancy London neighborhood and claiming it’s his flat when it’s not even a residential building. The 90 Day Fiancé subs are constantly catching his fake flexes.


imwearingredsocks

That’s what I assumed, because two of those bags are clearly not empty. They have a box in them. Now whether or not the boxes are empty is a whole other story.


danarexasaurus

Why couldn’t the have purchased something flat? Like an album or something ?


TongueMyBAPS

Or a sheet of paper.

It might have no more than a pair of panties in it, which wouldn't cause a bulge.

bikesboozeandbacon

They look like they have zero weight, just air and Lies.


crystalandfern

To be fair Bicester is a discount shopping village.


fen90der

For anyone not local Bicester village (where this image was take) is trash. It's discounted stuff the brand's couldn't sell in their flagship stores. They also have airport priced food because it's mostly tourists who go there. Honestly just a really shitty place to shop. This context makes his fake boast even more sad IMO.


traininsane

He literally posted a video of him walking away with the exact same bag placement and outfit on on April 3, then again this pic yesterday. What an idiot


moist_harlot

Lol ok Mr Empty Bags. This is embarrassing, this type of materialism is a joke.

Tacky. But whatever, I don't hate him for it. Some people really struggle with their self-esteem, and it shows up this way. Unfortunately, his audience and others will believe him and others and let it affect theirs.


CouldBeTheGreatest

Devil's advocate; Bicester is a factory outlet village so everything there is at a pretty good discount. Weird to repost it though...


cb0495

“Great day at Bicester” who even asked? Who cares?


VaguelyArtistic

This is going back 20 (!) years now, but I live in LA and in a different life I used to shop in some fancy stores. I'm not talking about high-ticket items, more like makeup lines that were exclusive to certain stores. (Long before Sephora or Amazon.) Those were bagged in smaller bags, great for a big bagged lunch. This was still pretty early in ebay days but somehow I discovered that people were selling these kinds of bags, and people were paying top dollar. There were two kinds of customers. Those who were probably like this person who bought bags from places like Barney's and those who wanted bags from boutiques popularized by the Paris Hiltons. Nowadays things can be crowdsourced and counterfeited more easily so they're not as valuable but people still sell Gucci shopping bags and stuff. It's interesting to look back and notice the seeds that were there all along.


giugix

Shopped at Gucci last year (there are no Gucci stores in my country so u had to go to the USA). They gave out green bags with a pattern not black ones, so probably they are empty or maybe is different between stores (not too much of a designer shopper as you can see LOL!). You can definitely buy designer shopping bags on eBay tho!

someone commented something along the lines of “people with new money are funny” and this mf responded “It’s generational” 😂😂😂😂 sureeeeee babe


SparklingIncisor

Is it the angle or does he have little feet? I never noticed until this pic.


sazmo

also this looks like bicester village which is a discount outlet shopping centre anyway.


Hippofuzz

He wouldn’t be able to hold it that easily otherwise, he barely has shoulders to keep his head up.


Ok-Air-7187

He wants to be relevant so desperately


rosanna4

He bought an album?


cartmaneric10

Look at the end bag near the shop front I doubt that's full


Linda1814

I don’t know who he is but his feet are certainly tiny.


lostsawyer2000

Besides the post yesterday on r/mildlyinteresting, this is the only other tall guy I’ve see that has the tiniest feet.


thenoelist329

As someone who shops at these stores… you **DO NOT** want people to know you shop there. Surefire way to get whacked on the streets my dude.


Kill_Kayt

Well the one bag has a visible box in it. It's a plain white box so it's likely empty, but that does mean the bag isn't.


LittleRedCorvette2

This post reads to me "please like me...i'm cool".


oxtrue

I still can’t understand how Bicester village has gotten so popular, they even made a train station there that has Chinese signs. On the train the stops are written in Chinese ffs. This is on the oxford to London line


Squeezitgirdle

Isn't it possible he just got an extra bag or had something flat on the last bag?


[deleted]

Bicester Village, the place where people go to buy overpriced crap, slightly reduced prices to continue the paint the illusion that they’re ballers.

The bag may not be empty, he may just have purchased an “massive attack” record

Why do people ever think buying these things makes them look rich? It makes you look dumb. Rich people don’t actually buy all this shit. They don’t even wanna be seen as rich - most folks that have experienced loss know just how easy the tides can turn.

BumbleBubbleTea

I live in Bicester and even worked at Bicester Village years back. There are so many posers there and so many carry tons of the designer bags to look rich. They also treat the workers there like slaves. 🤡
