People who want everyone to know they have money. Ego maniacs.

Their products are status symbols for the wealthy. Here is their current handbag page. Many other types of costlies are at the same site:

Yesterday we read about a single golf club given to President Trump by President Abe of Japan valued at $4500. It’s a different world for such folks.

There's a Nordstrom’s at the mall in my town and I often walk through it to get to the food court. They display dresses which consist of what can't be more than $10 worth of fabric (summer weight cloth) and the price tag says $1095.

Who would pay that for a purse?

I'm not sure what is worse that someone would pay that much for a purse or that the hoodies would steal them. I guess the rich people who buy them don't mind getting the hoodie discount.

If they did there would be no market for resale.

“more than $200,000 worth of Hermès bags from inside,”

What kind of bags ARE these? Were they actually used by Hermes back 2500 years ago?

Somebody gonna get robbed and capped in the hood for carrying around a $48K Hermes bag.

This is all the fault of Heritage Auctions.

“By my calculation then the bags are priced at $30k each? Seriously? Who would pay that for a purse?”

Teens don’t pay for their stuff.

I can’t see what they look like. But they were definitely teens.

You mean saying “Bulgar, no swipey” didn’t work?

Maybe saying “Bulgar, no swipey” again will work?

$1k for a dress is bad enough but $30k for a handbag is beyond my comprehension. I guess I’ll never understand the super rich.
