It's all just a display of wealth. It doesn't matter where the bag was made. Whether it was made by a master seamstress in Paris or by a peasant child in a hut. The fact that you have that much money to blow on nothing is the entire point. To show people how wasteful you can be, because you can afford to be.
When you carry a bag so people can say 'oh, wow, you have a Shimmerman and Shekler bag, it's not about the quality of the bag. Rich people's purses are like black people's shoes. It's all clout and vanity.
Watch [THIS](https://youtu.be/giMLLU-tYRk). Dude has dozens of videos like that. All of that shit is meant to keep poor people poor. The true wealthy buy luxury experiences (cruises, concerts, dinning, etc.) and lease liabilities (cars, summer homes, etc.)
The truly wealthy are obsessed with staying ahead of inflation by investing and buying assets with residual income (interest, dividends, etc.) The most wealthy live off the bank's money (your ATM fees), not their own.
"No, you don't understand. The stitching ... *THE STICHING!"*
There was a leathersmith on YouTube who would make recreations of Louis Vuitton bags he'd find at thrift stores. LV actually sued him, which is how he learned that LV employs people in almost every State to visit thrift shops looking for grandma's old LV bags to have them destroyed. They do this to create scarcity of their bags, but also so that guys like him don't get their printed leather to make other things out of it. LV burns a lot of cash to manipulate the market and maintain their status quo.
