Luxury bags

I remembered starting to watch luxury youtubers around end of last year. I consumed youtube videos day in day out.

Why? I guessed it is something different from the usual crime, mukbang, finance videos. The luxury bag videos don't need much thinking.

I have a favourite one. I was nearly going to buy a lv onthego (2nd hand) on my japan trip. It was retailing in sg for 4500, japan one was selling around 2400ish.

Phew, luckily i stopped myself from buying. Instead i bought a marc jacob medium canvas tote bag for around 280sgd. It was from the cash that i have left. 

So it has been around 2 months since using the bag. I realised the bag is quite heavy, if i intend to walk, i would prefer not to take the bag. This was after i took the bag to explore lavender. Super regret - my shoulder was aching from carrying the bag.

Another con was the bag is bulky, others could easily knock into my bag, incredible. 

So i decided to use back my 10 bucks bag that is small and compact, yet able to hold all my essentials.

Another con, whenever i wear the bag crossbody, the handles would get in the way. Annoying - it would graze my arm....

So anyway i realised luxury isnt for me, the things they rave about the bag - the bag need babying, repairs costs, maintainance. A hassle. What for i spend thousands to buy such troubles.

Then i noticed recently the luxury youtubers are selling their bags and changing content. I could understand cos it is not sustainable for them to buy ever increasing high priced bags.
