Two completely different things here, but I see the point you're trying to make.

This is a hobby. It's an (expensive) one, but it's a hobby to say the least. What is prancing around toting a $2000+ bag? The modding aspect of the "tuner" community is a standard. We're all car enthusiast here, there's a passion associated with this. I agree, there's definitely a percentage of people on here who do things solely for status. However, most of us don't care about other people's approval or concerns about what we do to our cars. It's the reason why you see some on here with ASM parts, while others opt to buy far less expensive parts. Further more, even if a member on here decided to purchase ASM parts I'm pretty sure there's usually data proven info that ASM, or any other higher-end brand will out-perform similar lower-end products. Thus usually explaining the price difference.

How many different ways can a $2000+ LV handbag function over a regular priced handbag?

 

I'm American and I think you're retarded...

If you're bent on spending $2K on her, do it in a useful way such as opening a mutual fund or CD, or something that will be lasting.

Spending $2K on a bag that will be out of style in 2 months is not smart, whether you're Asian, Black, White, or American like me

 

yeah my girl is on the LV message board all the time, set up just like S2KI. They talk mods, race the bags and go to bag meets.

 

Put my wife in the high $ handbag camp. She must have 30 of the damm things. It does not bother me though she gets what she wants and vice versa.

I have seen some high $ handbags but than again i have seen some high $ car mods. Look at a nice set of HRE wheels for starters I have seen them up and over 5K. Girls spend on handbags and jewelry and guys spend on car mods NBD.

 

idk maybe in quality and durability? LV wallets are pretty goddamn durable compared to regular wallets.

 

Truth Ferragamo is definetly classier. LV is more flashy/poser-rich. There are a lot nicer brands out there for the same if not less $.

 

knock offs. How can she tell

 

Hey sis, here's $2000....but you can't freaking touch it for many years!! Just randomly log in on the web and stare at it.

Awesome gift!

 

Spending $2k on those wheels or $1000 for an exhaust or $2000 for some seats is pretty stupid too than right? Rather than buying car parts that really do nothing except maybe help with aesthetics (isn't that what a bag does for a girl too?) why don't you go put that money into a CD (oh they are paying 1% or less these days, which means you lose $ according to inflation).

 

very easily. You can tell just by touching the leather. Put a fake LV in front of me and i can tell within a minute.
