Summary
This documentary follows three shopaholics as they visit their favorite designer stores in search of emotional fulfillment. Essex therapist Michelle spends relatively little on the secondhand and thrift store items that are threatening to take over her home. New Orleans shopper Andrea keeps a string of wealthy boyfriends to fund her addiction to buying things she'll never wear. London model Chloe-Jasmine forgoes groceries to pay for her high fashion habit, describing a physical high upon purchasing beautiful items. While acknowledging their compulsive behavior, these women can't bring themselves to break the retail obsession-a lesson London trader Helen learned the hard way after losing her marriage and home in a downward spiral of debt.
