Johanna Report post Posted August 4, 2022 I thought this expensive purse looked like a bag of trash, and it turns out that it was inspired by one. I'm having a giggle fit. Quote The luxury fashion house’s shiny drawstring bag — which is made out of calfskin leather, emblazoned with a subtle logo and comes in the basic Hefty bag black along with the solid Glad-esque white as well as yellow and blue — is making its way to stores after debuting in the Fall 2022 Ready-to-Wear collection in Paris in March.

fredk Report post Posted August 5, 2022 Some folk will buy it KNC Syndrome Anyone remember the leather American style lunch bag a few years ago? Based on the standard paper lunch bag as used by 90% of US moms to put kiddies lunches in but made in leather for executives. That was selling in the $150 - $500 range Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Based on the standard paper lunch bag as used by 90% of US moms to put kiddies lunches in but made in leather for executives. That was selling in the $150 - $500 range So I've been listening to a lot of financial podcasts and marketing podcasts recently and its discussed the term "value". And what's interesting is that "value" is a personal opinion. Value can be anything from a status symbol, to a good price/performance, to comfort/accessibility. Value is truly internal. So people will buy it because they "value" it in some way or another, IMO its likely to be because of a status symbol. But its the same reason people buy BMWs, Mercedes and other luxury brands when we factually know that Toyota has a better price to performance or cost of ownership in commuter market. I have personally found that most leatherworkers don't value higher priced leather products from makers like Gucci, Prada, or LV, we know what goes into it. Its the same reason that every mechanic I've ever worked with (when I worked as a mechanic) drives a beater. All about value. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
