"... for a bag that expensive... it is fast becoming common..."
Sista CT was talking about none other than the S$20,000 and above Hermes Birkin... while we were out with RG & KW...
I couldn't agree more...
The Hermes Birkin... named after actress and singer Jane Birkin has always been a symbol of wealth due to its high price and exclusiveness... not anymore...
What was once an exclusive to celebrities and well heeled tai tais with groomed teased big hair... which I luv... I meant the big hair... duh... is now a pretty common sight on the streets of Orchard and even on teenage girls... presumably mommy's hand me downs... which is not necessary a bad thing... its just means people are more affluent....
But... the age old saying still applies...
"All the money in the world can't buy you class..."
If I am going to wait up to two years and pay a price that of a down payment for a car... it better not be seen dangling from the hands of someone in shorts and slippers shopping for lemons in NTUC... or spoilt brats... whose only concept of "class" is the class that they attend in school...
Don't cha think???
I totally heart that! And i'm tickled that my ramblings inspired your post :) Loving your blog!
