NY ranks as ‘most bougie’ state in US — and $28K #BirkinMoms are damn proud of it

When it comes to a taste for the finer things in life, New Yorkers have it in the bag.

A new survey ranked our state as the “most bougie” in the US, thanks to ritzy residents’ insatiable appetite for classy couture, glam gems and dazzling designer handbags.

The Empire State was granted its “most bougie” moniker via an analysis conducted by gold and silver retailer SD Bullion. The report reviewed the Google trend data for 50 keywords related to expensive taste including brands, products and precious metals — and New York took the top spot for interest in authentic luxury labels.

“Bougie,” slang from “bourgeoisie,” has often used as an insult meaning someone with a lot of money but no taste.

However, in the Big Apple, the superlative still isn’t good enough for some upscale Upper East Siders with a hunger for all things haute. Instead, stylish mamas like Victoria Lagg are taking the city’s rep for swankiness to new heights as leaders of the trending “Birkin Mom” movement.
