Branded label seperti cendawan tumbuh selepas hujan

Panjang berjelar title-nya. I just couldn't shorten it as I couldn't find the best word to describe them in a shortest form of sentence.

Ceritanya begini. I want to get myself a new handbag. The one that I have been over-using dah agak-agak rapuh dah keadaannya. It is still in a good condition though. It's just that at some part of the bag dah terkopek sedikit the skin hence why the need of wanting a new handbag.

I've set the criteria of my bag. It must be an over-sized bag so that it can make me look smaller in size as I carry a lot of things in my bag. I have my organizer, my pencil box, my huge wallet (wallet is huge in size but small in frame, LOL) and sometimes, I carry my notes in it. It must have at least 1 small compartment in it for me to put my cardholder, lip-balm & lip-stick.

Not just that, the bag must fit my daughter's iPad, few diapers, her water bottle, napkin and if space permits, it can fit few of her favourite toys. 

See, I make full use of my bag. This 1 bag must fit everything and it is very much suitable to be used during weekdays for work and classes as well as the weekends for outing. Hence, good quality of bag is what I am looking for.

Since I am looking for a good quality one, I thought of buying one that can last forever. So, I opt for the branded ones - budget-budget konon mampulah. So, after much surveying, I have few in mind. Of course, they have to be within my budget lah kan. Tak kan pulak lepas beli bag nak makan pasir or bagi Iman pakai cloth diaper pulak kan.

So, the candidates are:-

LV Neverfall MM

Coach - Saffiano Medium City

Michael Kors - Medium Jet Set Saffiano Travel Bag

Materialistic much, yes I am! I think at certain point in life, you believe that you deserve those expensive bags. I work hard for it hence I deserve this. Cheh, ayat penyedap.

So check punya check, I bumped into few blogshops that carry those bags. And I was shocked to the max to see that they are selling these bags half (maybe 75%) cheaper than the market price. Of course, market price memanglah mahal. They don't call themselves branded for no reason right? But they sell it damn cheap man.

Imagine, one can purchase LV Neverfall for RM90, wth?

Bag ni buatan China, I don't know but how can it be that cheap?

Nowadays, having to own a branded bag is somehow essential to most woman to the extend that they don't know the value of the bag. How can you carry a RM90 LV Neverfall. It's disgraceful! It's disgraceful to the brand, for crying out loud. Itu tak payah cerita kalau budak sekolah, Ok, maybe not budak sekolah tapi budak University to carry a Chanel to their faculty. Aduh, malunya!

This is not envy. Definitely not envy. This is a consumer's point of view. My personal point of view.

When you start carrying a branded bag, it is somehow put you into a certain level. They are expensive for a reason. They carry a brand - the most trusted brand hence why the price. If you don't understand the value of the bag, you will never understand how worthy the bag is. I may not explain it well, but it is a disgrace for someone to carry an imitation version of a branded bag.

My concept is simple. Beli bila mampu. Tak mampu jangan beli.

Tiba-tiba nak emotional but this is the truth. You are demolishing the value of the bag. Kesian bag itu. You will never appreciate the bag, trust me! Shope wisely girls. Don't spoil the reputation of the bag.
