I’ve bought LV in port and at the LV store in port. Feeling like I was robbed at the store. That U-Haul just backed up with the freshest gear off the Chinese boat   $50 make you holler. 


When I was in real estate (as a manager, not an agent) in Florida during the boom before the crash almost 20 years ago, one of our agents spent a cool $1k on the LV bucket list bag she had saved up for. 
 

One. Thousand. Dollars. 
 

For a purse. Just one purse. In 2005.
 

I was buying the patchwork leather shoulder bags at Kmart (I was kinda like Rain Man with Kmart, R.I.P.) on sale for about twelve bucks at that point. I still have a Joe Boxer nylon purse-tote from the era that has held up fabulously. When I Marie Kondo my stuff it stays because it still gives me joy.
 

I honestly had never even imagined purses existed that cost a thousand dollars. My little pea brain spun around in my skull for a long while trynna come to grips with that.

 

I have a much higher income now, not rich but not poor. And my husband bought me a Michael Kors bag a few years ago so I could finally be decent. 
 

I used it for about a year. It sits on my dresser still looking brand new (that amazing durable textured finish) waiting to return to service, which it will at some point. When I use it I often think it’s more valuable than all the contents it carries, and honestly it was a huge bargain by modern purse standards.
 

My current bag is a small black leather hand me down Aigner with the little metal A logo, that my stepmom tried to sell at one of my garage sales for $5. She also brought over a brown leather Stone Mountain that went unsold and is therefore in my closet until it’s resurrected.

 

From the same source I previously had a summery Coach canvas purse until the zipper broke as well as a very, very fake Prada. I checked it out on the internet and literally every detail was the fake version, plate, stitching, lining, and nasty vinyl material which started cracking a few weeks into its final usage period. 🤷‍♀️ I asked her where she got it and she didn’t remember.

 

I still just don’t get it with the bags and my luggage is far worse! I should be embarrassed but I never care if the ground crew apes destroy it and nobody ever even considers it could be worth stealing. 
 

What is wrong with me?
