They’re thoughtfully made but it baffles me how people would go above and beyond just to own a piece. It’s just a bag in the end

  If it was “just” a bag, no one would pay 5-figures for it.

They are absolutely beautiful bags, but the prices are crazy, even with the amount of hand crafting involved in their creation.
The waiting lists alone are ridiculous too!

I think I understand why the prices of “the birkin” stands out, it’s probably because of the craftsmanship and then the brand, lmao.

But oh, Alexandre, ????????

The Hermès bag is ugly. It should be given to women over the age of 60 and at a discounted price.

Most of those workers were confused as to why she was even there, as in saying “she’s never here, why is she here today?” Lol.

It’s like when your bosses boss comes into the office and gives a tour to higher up people and starts interacting with the staff when in reality they know nothing about the team and what they do.

Anyways, Hermes: where we strive for diversity in the workforce. ????????

Las Vegas Aces superstar A’ja Wilson shows us what’s inside her Labubu-laden Louis Vuitton bag. The WNBA MVP always carries two pairs of glasses, depending on what the occasion calls for, and pulls out her favorite snack, a bag of Sour Patch Kids. The most meaningful item in A’ja’s bag is her late grandmother’s coin purse, which she now uses to carry her ID cards. “I don’t put coins in it because my heart’s in it.”
