A beautiful Max Mara camel coat, a Louis Vuitton Neverfull, and everything from Victoria Beckham.

1950s Balenciaga.

I can say with confidence that it's not going to happen.

Solitaire diamond stud earrings
Chanel bag
Rolex

Burberry trench coat - I have a Ted Baker one which is a lovely style but the quality is poor.

I have a Max Mara wool coat & it is my best ever purchase.

I would also consider a Rolex ladies watch.

I saved up & bought Gucci loafers this year and don’t regret it.

A Bösendorfer grand piano.

Burberry trench coat. My 40th is in 2027 and I’m considering saving up.

I bought an immaculate vintage (1970s) one on eBay for £75. The quality was fantastic. It didn’t suit me unfortunately, so I gave it to my sister.

FormerlySpeckledyHen · 04/01/2026 20:24

A Chanel Boy. I wouldn’t use it though as it wouldn’t suit my lifestyle.

DiscoBeat · 04/01/2026 20:28

A full sized Steinway grand piano

Mirrorxxx · 04/01/2026 20:29

A bought a classic Chanel flap. It was so disappointing that I sold it

StrangewaysHereWeCome · 04/01/2026 20:30

Another one for a Cartier tank watch.

Purplecatshopaholic · 04/01/2026 20:35

An absolutely enormous diamond ring, lol. Hermes handbag. Victoria Beckham’s entire collection

user593 · 04/01/2026 21:09

Cartier Tank, I don’t really wear watches so it would be a risky gamble unless money was no object. Also a Hermes Kelly. I was gifted a Chanel 2.55 decades ago otherwise it would perhaps be that.

tobee · 05/01/2026 17:28

Yes a watch and some exclusively made for me perfume. Some vintage fountain pens.

I think a Cartier Tank watch - but what other watches can I lust over?

tobee · 05/01/2026 17:31

Ooh ooh and a dressing room/ walk in wardrobe.

joeninetey · 05/01/2026 17:33

A Faberge egg, or maybe two.
