  • LoL, Luxury Brands Are Trolling You!

    I was watching a TV show about rich entitled people and they were very fixated on high end brands.

    As someone who lives in the real world, I and my wife never stepped foot in a Gucci store, and have heard that LV are expensive (like 8k for a hand bag).

    Little did I know, my jaw dropped after I looked at their website!

    $3600 so you can wear a trashbag


    $21500 so you can look like an Asian bedding set. Honestly they can't even sell this at Ross for $20 bucks. This is that piece of clothing you'll find a stack of discounted stickers on the original price(and if the original price was 50 bucks).


    I'm sure Gucci is just #$#king around here (or maybe they employ under age workers as their designers..should we contact someone about this?)


    I wonder if the bank will accept this bag as my 20% down for a house.


    Yeah this was a mind blown moment for me. I had no idea luxury brands charge stupid money for such ugly things! No wonder money can't buy you happiness..because just think about how disappointment you'll be working so hard for your money and there's nothing really great to buy with that money(unless you want to be trolled).

    LV is ridiculous and all my friends and co-workers with the knock off bags just make the brand look worse.

    I like the rainbow, bird men's sweater, lol. It looks like what I wore at 13 in the 80s.

    even if I won the Powerball, I would never buy a 60k purse, it's disgusting. I would make a rule, for every $400 purse I bought, I'd give $400 away. I can't see me ever spending more than that or even that much on a purse and I love purses.

      I love how unhappy the Gucci models look. I'm pretty sure I'd wear a similar expression if I had to wear those clothes. It wouldn't matter if I was getting paid because I was a model or if I had actually paid those prices.

      I actually think the handbag looks nice. Red isn't my color and I wouldn't pay so much money for such a thing, but I do like it. It reminds me of a designer handbags I saw a few months back. I can't remember the brand, but it was in the same price range. I liked how it looked, and it had a built in phone charger. It still wasn't worth the price, but I could definitely see myself enjoying it. (I know you can get a little phone charger for your purse, but I thought having it built in was a nice touch.)

        I got a RFID blocking, anti-cutting strap for anti-theft and it has a built in flashlight. $12 by Travelon. Bonus: no one would ever want to steal this purse unlike the 60k one that I would be too scared to carry in public. But no built in phone charger. That comes in the $18 model, lol

          hehe, that's small change if you look at the outfits worn to Golden Globe Awards or upcoming Oscars.

          The women in the black abaya and niqāb wear branded, haute couture clothes from famous designer's runways that cost more than our annual salaries. I think it was $ 930 million in 2013 for a select group of women.
