branded

this afternoon I received a call from this relative of mine. she told me to drop by this boutique to check out the new batch of bags which has just arrived from UK. some time ago as we were outside having lunch I had made a casual remark that I wanted a purple Longchamp. so she took it quite seriously and had paid attention to find me one eventually.

as a matter of fact I'm not really a fan of branded luxuries, especially now that income is the main part of my consideration. not to say that I do not own any of these items but I just think that everything has its own value. to buy a luxury item is not just about the product itself. it includes the practicability, the customer service, the after-sales treatment and also the whole process of swiping your card in the boutique store after several long visits.

I believe that branded-s are really worth the price because of the satisfaction that comes along with it, be it a present or a hard-earned reward. however I really do not agree with the concept that your life should go around these brands simply for the sake of parading to others that you have the ability to make such purchases. the value of brands varies among individuals I guess, just hope that those with counterfeits can stop degrading these highly sought after brands.

the only branded item that I regret for not buying... priceless as it is a limited edition. :(
