The portrayal of wealthy Chinese individuals mirrors the fishbowl phenomenon. Essentially, Chinese people are experiencing a phase of wealth stabilization and self-awareness similar to what Westerners have already gone through. In time, they'll become just as concerned about organic food and plastic cups as yoga moms were in the West a decade ago.
There used to be a time when if you wore a tee shirt provided by a brand for free, you would be considered a walking billboard. Worst is when you pay so much to be their advertisers. Glad people are slowly waking up to their senses.😊
I grew up thinking that those logo shirts are free from the store😂😂😂. My mom bought me a fake Gucci shirt when i was young and I refuse to wear it thinking that its a free from the store. 😅😅
Actually 57 dollars is the cost for high end stitching and material bags’ production. In big scale of course. If it gets over 100$ per bag, it’s already too much for any criteria of quality
That and a lot of the "luxury" brands that slap their logo on all their merch have damaged their reputation and no longer signal luxury like they are supposed to. The other day I saw a homeless woman (admittedly she was at a homeless shelter not living on the street) with a Luis Vuitton bag. I see my co-workers who I know aren't secretly wealthy because they wouldn't be working a low paying relatively dead end job with supposedly luxury bags too. In order to differentiate themselves from the mass-market "luxury" brands the ones still trying to maintain their reputation and exclusivity are dropping their labels.
Yes, I felt that when I was in China recent times, people more look for the quality of textile, comfort and tech of cloth, something as simple as no edge underwear ( the edge and label all gone because the extra skin rub discomfort from them)
Hahaha that’s not how it works. They still want to show off their worth. The vibe kinda like hey I’m rich but I don’t wanna show that I’m rich. But I am. But I am not actively trying to show it off. But. I am lmao
The luxury is more than just the name , it also means higher quality materials(and more fabric)...cashmere is gonna feel much nicer than unprocessed wool that scratches your skin. The future is gonna be opposite of skimpy clothing because fabric will be very expensive so the more fabric on your body: the richer you are.
Soon Chinese parents will look at their children at dinner time and say ： "If you don't study hard, you will only be able to drive a Mercedes-Benz and a BMW in the future."
BMW and Mercedes aint luxury brands in China anymore. Every Chinese knows those German cars are so tech outdated than any Chinese EV. Buying Mercedes and Benz is kind for stupid people with too much money that they dont know what to do with it. Rich people dont drive, thats why Huawei Aito M9 is specially designed for those people who sit back with a movie on big screen
In fact, minimally desirable women in Shanghai have been known to skip BMW drivers for being poor. Porsche is the passing grade. If you don't own a Porsche or Bentley/Aston/Ferrari/Lambo/Rolls, you aren't even qualified for a date with these women who are above 6.
I get buying for quality and durability. Never understood the need to impress others. People who treat you differently because of what you have on are not worthy of your judgment, imo.
I always mix and match. I'll wear a Louis Vuitton sweater $4000 with pair of jeans from Levis that was purchased on sale $29.99. I bought my first and only Rolex watch when I was 24....now 57, I still wear the same watch. And I have never bought any other watch, not even an Apple watch.

Bags in *gtdupe* are quite exquisite, and the workmanship is also meticulous. There is almost no difference from the original ones, and they are great value!

Don’t forget the sourgrapes, cynical community too. They are everywhere especially in the comment sections. They couldn’t mind their own business most of the time. 😂
Because they have luxury properties costing tens, if not hundreds of millions, in the worlds top destinations. They own custom leather shoes and bags in limited edition from the world’s top brands. They own items in exotic skin. They have super cars, haute couture clothing, luxury fine jewellery from the world’s top jewellers and they have global influence due to their pedigree. They know who’s who in every top city. They’ve worn logos when they were young. They own plenty of logos. They eat at Michelin star restaurants. They have dreamy weddings. They have private jets and yachts. They have friends who have the same or much more. Everyone always knows how crazy wealthy they are. It’s been established for decades. Its obvious. They could wear plain white for £5000 and they’d still nail it. No one would suspect that their plain white outfit for £5000 is cheap because it won’t be. They couldn’t do it when it hadn’t been established how well off they are. This only applies to a certain segment of society. 99% of people can’t get away with this.
Then eventually no one will wear brands because everyone will want people to think that they’re all into quiet luxury and the rich will start being flashy again ad infinitum 😂 It’s like how British upper class stopped using spices when it became cheap but hoarded it when it was rare and expensive. People are such silly beans.
Chinese are used to wealth now & beyond showing off, this is related to a shift from flashy western brands. Now it’s period of real growth of technology

After I bought a $10 million luxury item and I want to resell the same undamaged “second hand” item the next day, people only buy it for less than $5 million dollars, don’t I make a loss of $5 million+? Luxury cars and luxury retail items are known since ancient times not to give birth to future new or more money.
I don't understand the need for luxury fashion in China and HK... they all look the same. Better to invest that money into cosmetic surgery - like the South Koreans.

Billion dollar insight. People buy luxury that they can wear to feel good when showing off. It’s hard to tell the difference between real and fakes unless with specialist equipment or trained professional eyes. Pivotal. How do you wear land or property deed titles or tell others you own this land or that property so they know at a glance that you are ultra rich and not pretend rich?
You didn’t read news? Chinese government has recently banned accounts due to their ostentatious show of luxury wealth. It’s a sign that showing wealth is a no no now. 😂
Asian countries move their country up TOGETHER as a society. There is a unspoken “ social contract “ that the country will look out for the ones left behind. Japan did it. It’s richest people are so understated ….it is like a “ crime “ to be rich. They will go out of their way to look “ normal “. Ditto for Korea … And now China. The free economy of Hongkong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand etc are different. Some of these people are quite ostentatious by comparison. The ones that are not doing well will feel much better when the rich people don’t flaunt their wealth in front of the poor people. Facebook is a terrible thing…..you feel that you must compete and compare.
