guava 6,874 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Hermes is a really high end brand and I know their products are expensive but recently I found out that a Birkin (a type of Hermes handbag) can cost between $12000 to $200000 I've seen Jessica with several Birkin's Black one Tan coloured one Tiffany has a white one T-ara Boram with a bed Birkin Boa with a Blue bag Anyone else with one?

ABello 70 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I swear I've seen bags like this for $40. Same. W/brands you are paying for the name. Because most have workshops with clandestine handwork, and materials don't cost that much, yes there are expensive ones, (idols get most of these for free, for promoting the brand) but most of all people are paying for the name and the average design (I've seen a few -some in pictures other in the stores- that have an authentic and detailed design, the rest it's just mehh).

nancy mcflurry 2,385 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 That bag isn't even cute tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugeBoi Minos Wife 40,568 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Its about the brand. They´re selling a certain image and lifestyle, basically something like "look how rich/successful and classy/sophisitcated I am" so of course people with a lot of money will buy it. I dont even find the bags beautiful but luxury brands know how to market even their most basic products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yournoona 8,412 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 i believe that bag costs so much because it's handmade and it literally takes a lot of time to get it done from getting the leathers and exotic skin to getting it to the hands of costumers that there's a waiting list for it lol. the costumers may design it themselves too.

boramrambo 8,005 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Op that is Soyeon.. Boram would never buy such as luxurious bag like that, better spent for her snack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modella 2,015 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I'd save my money, buy like 5 knock-offs, pay off my college loans, and buy some snacks :3 Sent from my SM-G903F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coward 1,968 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 the birkin has been around as a symbol of pretentiousness for a long time now. I remember first hearing about them when I was in high school (I graduated in '03, so that was awhile ago). edited to add that I just remembered something - there was a waiting list to get one, and not like 3-6 months more like a few years. some of those bags may be used. not that there's anything wrong with that, just I don't know what the wait list is like now and how that relates to how long they have been making that kind of money.

____shawnee 4,118 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 why would you spent so much on a bag so basic as basic as the person who named it tho It's because it's an extremely high quality bag handmade with exclusive materials and takes quite a long time to make. It's incredibly high demand and only a limited number are made each year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuu91 46 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I think boram's is fake because she can't afford that eh T-ara has some wealthy fans + their korean fandom was huge pre scandal+ they are pocketing china money as we speak. Also even if they were under a shitty (although BIG) company I really cannot believe that they werent earning big money in their prime. well as everyone says those bags only sell that high because of their brand.

dont_be_hasty 308 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Come on guys, obviously we aren't gonna be spending that much on a bag. But just because we don't find them to be worth that much money doesn't mean high fashion isn't a huge thing and that nobody should should that much on it. Besides, I'm gonna guess that at least some of these are probably sponsored products, meaning the brand wants these bags to be seen with these idols. Brands are a valuable thing and some people have the will and means to pay for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
