Women of farcaster, how does one begin shopping at these very expensive brands.

For example, Goyard (I just saw this in ginza but never heard of it), Moncler and other brands that have people in suits standing in front.

Do you just walk in one day? celebrities? invites? a friend brought for you in?

What is your best explanation and psychoanalysis for how you end up wanting something from there?

okay, i'll go first. that's a personal case. 

just walk in. i bought an overpriced hermes lip balm a few days ago just bc wanted to see the christmas decorations and i like horses (their shops are very beautiful honouring the history of equestrian roots). the lip balm is so pretty, no functional advantage. 

but in most cases, i would know in advance what i want to buy from luxury items (mostly shoes and bags for me) so walking in to the shop with some idea of what i want. 

i would surround myself with nice things if it's accessible for me. not everything should be strictly functional in my life. But i've a rule - not to buy anything that i can not afford. If i need to "save", it's not worth it. 
Jewelry could be an exception, but i would rather receive it as a gift
