Actually for bags & women, memang lah ada relationship...macam tak boleh terpisah gitu.
Tapi for branded bags, I think it depends on kita punye sekeliling. Kalau kita punye peers suka branded goods, somehow kita pon terikot gitu.
For me, kat my opis, my bosses, colleagues jarang bawak LV ke, Coach ke, jadi that's how I also discourage myself from buying. Hehe. Tapi my hub's side, our close relatives are into labels. There was a point of time, I pon terikut. Then I took 2 steps backwards and decided I'll only wear/use what I'm comfortable with.
