Thoughts on Chrome Hearts? I live in Japan, there's an upscale used clothing store not far from my house that's got a couple of CH rings up for 55,000 yen a pop (~370 USD), in pretty good condition. I don't really wear accessories, maybe earrings once in a blue moon, and CH definitely doesn't fit with my usual style, but I see a lot of guys here wearing rings and I know CH is pretty trendy so I'm thinking of jumping on it.
>>18541663oof, every part of your life and how you live it is absolutely exterminable
>>18541663Kinda makes you look like a faggot who jumps on any trend, ironically exactly like a woman does.
Just makes me think of zoomer faggots wearing full fake outfits
Don’t be a retarded trendhopper.CH makes good leather jackets, wallet chains, and belts. Those cost thousands. Their basic silver rings are pretty whatever.
>>18541663you a male model?>>18541693>>18541668>>18541729why yall hating?????????????
>>18541663king cobes lives
>>18541663>japanese guy wearing those ringscool>white guy wearing those ringscringei don't live in japan somewhere else in asia and been to japan a few time. idk why some style are ok to look at on japanese and awkward on us. i know it's a meme but i'm pretty sure thats how most people feel (maybe not the japanese, so in that case wear what u want)
>>18541663Don't spend hundreds on something you don't inherently like just because it's trendy. You'll regret it.
>>18541826because you are buying into a cargo cult image of japanese people sold to you by 30 year old media. When you go to japan today these guys look like fucking losers since it's obvious they're like random retail workers who have no prospects or future
>>18541663I like sterling silver jewelry but I'm not paying for CH, no fucking way I do have a few pieces from Clocks and Colours but only really wear one ring from them
I like their eyewear. Apart from that it's alright. I bought a rep too because its 99% identical for like 10x less the price
>>18541663I think they’re pretty gay. Only ring you should wear is a wedding band. Even Super Bowl rings are tacky.
Looks like some 80s glam metal stuff like motley crue would wear or 2000s ed hardy/tapout guys. I dont wear rings, just one of these chains at a time for me.
>>18541663>jewelrybased but also really overpriced both retail and secondary market. silver is especially rare nowadays in retail and you run the risk of getting fakes when going resale>hoodies, underwear, socksincredibly cringe. low quality items cash grab. you'll just look like an average rich chinese international student with the hoodies/sweatshirts lol>denimincredibly gatekept and expensive item. they literally take levis, slap on leather crosses and sell them to you for thousands of dollars, assuming you have a lengthy spend history already>useless knick-knacksim talking obscure items like furniture, toilet plunger, meat cleaver, i would say based because they really have no reason to make these items but they do it anyway. obviously its for people who are superfans of the brand and/or have a lot of money to blow >eyewearmy personal favourite offering from them. they have so many intricate designs and the frames are made in japan (except a few limited models). they're also actually the most accessible product as opticians around the world are authorized dealers of their frames, you just have to look for them. also very expensive and probably hold their value the worst compared to other items>leather goodscan't speak on the quality of those but i definitely would like a wallet from them if they weren't so fuckin rare.if you truly like the designs/jewelry, then go for it. hopping on a trend is always a bad idea. also is the store near you rinkan? rinkan is the only reputable reseller of chrome hearts in japan. The Used in tokyo is also good but i think they price gouge harder
>>18541739this take is so fucking bad it's crazy how hard you're outing yourself little zoometteif anything their silver jewelry should be the only thing of consideration if youre not trendhopping
>>18541663just get some stainless steel rings from aliexpress if you want to scratch that itchyou'll get over it in two weeks top
>>18541663>that's got a couple of CH rings up for 55,000 yen a pop (~370 USD), in pretty good conditionThose are 100% fake guaranteed. Not only fake, its possible they are shit tier fakes that aren't even real silver.first off nothing that is real authentic Chrome Hearts can be had for $370 especially the jewelry. The second thing is the shop reselling the fake jewelry has no proof it's real they are just guessing. If the shop had receipts or documentation of their authenticity the price wouldn't be near $370. Maybe because it tests as real silver that makes it authentic according to them? The point im getting at is since you are already buying fakes you might as well buy good fakes made of real silver.you can purchase any CH item from here with prices that are more reasonablehttps://scarlettluxury.x.yupoo.com/categories/4594889
I love Balenciaga and even I don’t understand why chrome hearts is so expensive
>>18541739Shut up faggot, their belt and chain designs are good, the *basic* spacers and such are not. I’ve been following chrome hearts since before Kamhout blew his brains out.Picrel custom sterling chain I had made, partially inspired by their scroll belt buckle.
>>18541929meant to reply to you
>>18542448Because Richard sees Chrome as a modern luxury house on the level of Hermes, which is why they make pretty much everything even if they’re known for specific things, much like Hermes isn’t really a “bag company”. He’s said this himself in interviews. Delusional? Maybe. But it’s been working for them so far.
>>18542481got any lore on kamhout? all i know so far is that he was the original designer for a lot of the CH motifs, and that the starks ruthlessly cut him off. beautiful wallet chain btw
don't dress like nomura unless you're japanese. even then, stop it.
