minus-squaresigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-24 months agoConsidering how many “luxury” bags nowadays are “vegan leather”, pvc or other plastic byproduct materials… I don’t think the material costs that much either. One of Dior’s current “it” bags is literally a beach canvas tote bag retailing for USD$3000k+. And most luxury houses don’t even do real gold/platinum or plated hardware anymore. There is no “luxe” in modern luxury anymore tbh, it’s really about showing off the name
