Monthly salary of 3000 I bought a LV, fake ...
Author | Kano
01
I was 23 years old when I bought my first LV, vanity, beauty... Still poor.
That year, LV's Alma tote bag became popular again a decade after its introduction, and several new colors were ready to see the explosion.
There is a white water-corrugated leather, with some lively metallic elements added to neutralize, the girlish innocence and the classic old artistic aesthetic blend together perfectly.
I was hit the first time I saw it, and you must have felt the same way as I did: at a certain moment, the gaze was firmly locked and could not move my feet, and the gaze looking at it was like a highlight, thinking that this was my "Dream bag", I wanted!!
At the MixC counter, I weakly asked for the price, not ridiculously expensive, in the early 10,000s. But my salary slip for the month showed that I earned 3830, and it was not impossible to bite my teeth and buy it, but I rubbed it at the counter for 20 minutes and finally couldn't bear it.
After hesitating for a month and pretending to pass by the counter 2 times - I added 6 or 7 micro-merchant comparisons and bought a legendary A goods that can be inspected at the counter, as long as 1500.
The salesman patted his chest to ensure that they used the legendary original metal and leather, and you could not find it when you went to the counter.
Objectively speaking, at that time, the A goods market was still very conscientious, and when I received the bag, I looked at every detail from the inside out, and did not put it in my hand to look carefully at the real thing.
But I soon found out that without any counter verification, I could also deeply feel that this was a fake bag like a fake bag.

The first time she carried it out, the girlfriend on the date was happy to say that she also liked the bag and had just bought a classic old deco.
Thanks to the blessing of the strong cottage ability, she did not see through the fake one I bought. And super happy, I feel that I have met someone who is similar to her aesthetic.
She boasted that this season's design is ingenious and will definitely sell out, and I am very weak-hearted.
She said that this bag is very powerful, it has been selling well for many years, and I am even more weak-hearted.
When she boasted that I had vision and that the ripples of the water I chose were very beautiful, I finally couldn't help but diverge from the topic.
That whole day, I felt that my face was hot and I had no place to look at myself, was it the embarrassment of Xiao San bumping into the main room?
Not really.
It's a contrast!
The pride and joy she can feel, I don't feel at all, she bought the bag because she really appreciates the brand, I have no resonance at all.
The long history of a brand has nothing to do with me, and the newness of the designers this season has nothing to do with me, because I didn't pay any of these premiums, I just bought a similar skin.
Because I got a fake ticket, I was locked out of the wedding feast.
This scene may not be unfamiliar to you, even if you are not buying imitations, you may have had the same experience.
Like a 10,000 watch, feel expensive to buy a 1000 light luxury alternative, want to buy a 3000 coat is too expensive on Taobao to buy 300 of the same model. It's still a terrible vicious cycle, the next time you make a choice, you are once again entangled in buying a cheap alternative, so that there are one similar but not the same clothes in the closet.
The cabinet-filled alternative will actually become an awkward presence soon after purchase.
It has the shadow of the object you want, but it doesn't bring you the same happiness. Every time I see it, I remind myself once: You can't afford it.
Because all consumption that falls back is waste.
The LV that the 1500 bought is also the same fate, after a short period of freshness, on the back of it I did not finally buy the joy of the heart, but also from time to time by some inexplicable heart and contrast, when passing by the counter will always go in to see, still feel that I did not buy it. When you see the true and false identification on the Internet, you can't help but look at whether you have been tricked.
The mental energy consumed by this whole process and the happiness of getting it have long since been offset.
After a few years of buying a lot of favorites, I gradually understood that the happiness brought by the 15000 bag is 15000, the happiness brought by the 1500 bag is 1500, and the happiness of the premium in the delusion does not exist.

Soon, I discovered that the reward I thought was also fake.
Yes, buying a bag is rewarding for girls.
In Sex and the City, there's an episode where Samantha and Carrie stop at Hermès's window, samantha looks at the platinum bag and carries: "That's not your style at all."
Samantha's next conversation is naked and frank: "It has nothing to do with style, meaning is more important, when I carry it, I know that I have soared." 」
Is this a vain remark? It's a real vanity. Substances? It is also true matter.
But what girl does not have such a coordinate, as small as a bag, a Tiffany necklace, as large as an apartment, a car, is the carrier of our dreams and desires, is our way to please ourselves, reward ourselves, when we can't hold on to a glance and can be full of chicken blood.
It is not as easy as imagined for young girls to get a foothold in the city, and if there is no heat of material rising and the shimmering light attracted, they have no idea how to step out tomorrow.
Of course, matter doesn't define who we are and our worth, but you can think of it as a pagoda full of equipment when you upgrade monsters, allowing us to see where the next target is, step by step.
Therefore, this reward also means to work hard, to save money, to pad feet to be able to get up, to be able to tell themselves with peace of mind, to buy it to be worthy of the old woman's night and black eye circles.
And one day you will find that this award is by no means affordable to the 500's high imitation of the 1500 super A. You are certainly not willing to accept that after a hard year of hard work, you finally bought a fake bag to reward yourself, which is more sad than nothing.

After 3 years, the income has increased N times. I bought the Alma back, the same color and the same size, and the moment I swiped my card and signed the order, I felt like I really owned it.
After 3 years, this delayed payment is actually an answer sheet for their own growth.
Not only is income doubling, but more importantly, the concept of consumption has also undergone earth-shaking changes.
From simply buying a bag because it looks good, because it makes me look expensive, to willingly paying for the aesthetic of art.
And understand that the reason why a brand becomes a brand is definitely not only because of the small logo, but also the brand premium that has been poured into by generations, and the whimsical ideas that designers have spent countless nights, as well as the pursuit and artistic aesthetic embodied in every process and every detail.
This growth is not only reflected in the purchase of luxury goods, but also affects all consumption actions.
Begin to understand what items are worth spending, even if it is only 150 pieces;
Begin to skillfully write down the important purchases of the month on the first page of the handbook, happily place orders after paying wages, and accumulate your favorites like the dragon who hoarded gems in the story;
Start to enjoy the pleasure of making money to vote for the world, and look at the items you bought yourself is like looking at the country you have laid.
This change may be the biggest impact of buying luxury goods.
Later, there will be a little girl who asks whether she should buy a high imitation. If you really like the brand and are so strong that you ignore everything I've experienced, then it's best to put a string in your heart, "I only give myself this one chance".
If you want to reward yourself, you might as well take the same money to buy a bottle of cream, a favorite perfume, and a dignified reward.
Life is long, we are going to buy a lifetime bag, want something to make it slow.
