Re: How does such an ugly handbag cost $38,000!
When I was in my teens I was told by a rather grand lady that you should always have a good bag and good shoes. That way anything else you wear looks better. Good quality shoes and bags last for years if you look after them properly. No need to buy a new bag every week/month. (Mental note to self - get that handbag to the bag spa.)
<shallowness warning> I will judge you on your footwear, bag, wallet etc especially if I know you aren't poor and can afford decent things. $38k is a bit much, but you can get really good bags for a few hundred dollars and that's not excessive if you use it almost daily (and aren't buying it on credit).

I disagree. Most people I know who have spent their hard earned money on lovely bags and shoes wear them regularly. The evening bags get less use, but they last for years.

How many men if they had the money would choose a Pajero vs a Bugatti, a Ferrari or a Maserati. Does the same job as a Pajero, has 4 wheels, doors, windows, might go a bit faster, but how is a car worth 20 times or more the price of a normal everyday car? cars a car...

Bought my missus an LV Handbag a few years ago...went up to the cashier and asked how much discount would I get for cash....whole place went silent any one would have thought I had farted!!! Anyway he looks down his nose and pronounced in a plummy voice "Sir Louis Vuitton do not do discount", always amazes me the attitude of the staff in these places, they kind of take on an aura of they are suddenly above all the masses as they work in a temple to fashion....wankers!!!!

It's easy to spot quality, or lack thereof. Personal grooming matters. If you're scruffy and unkempt in your appearance it says quite a lot about other things.

You asked for a discount for cash in a store like that? It's not a market stall.

LV is a bit mainstream anyway and has been so copied that it's devalued the brand. You can get really good bags, that are actually nicer than LV and a lower price.

Yes she often goes on her own, as I work strange hours....LV is what she wanted as her birthday present and who am I to argue with that!!

Darling...if you see a group of housemaids in the mall carrying a Birkin, which retails between 10 and 24k sterling, then you know it is a fake!
