17 Y.O. Who Gets Mocked For Calling Her $80 Bag “Luxury” Is Invited To The Headquarters Of The Brand After Clapping Back At Haters

Some people online can be so cruel! I consider spending 80$ on a bag to be spoiling myself. Therefore, it is a luxury. It is a luxurious bag. You go girl-enjoy your purchase!

My entire outfit is usually less than 80 bucks. Luxury is relative.

Why can't we just be happy for someone? Her dad bought her a bag, that alone is enough for it to be special.

What the f**k is wrong with people to shitstorm someone because they think their 80$ bag is wonderful? Not to start with that luxury is anyway relative, this is just s****y behavior and all of these haters mother's should be ashamed of what horrible people they set into this world.

Thing with luxury is that it is different for different people. Example: when I grew up, we kids used every winter to going down ski slopes in some of Swedens best alpine facilites. Luxury? Not for us - the business in the county came together to pay for us youngsters winter sports

they should be shaming the people who use credit to purchase expensive bags they can't afford and they are living beyond their means just to say I have a Louis bag!

Looking at the top comment. I adore the bored pandas. You all are fantastic!

This is one of the many reasons social media sucks. She was happy and wanted to share that happiness, only for a bunch of Debbie Downers to come out of the woodworks. People can be sickening.

Paid 40 euro for a bag and think its luxury, its from River Island in dublin and i usually get bag €11 in penneys.... stunning bag and amazing personality you can see come tru in the video 👍

People sure can be nasty, can’t they? But, as they say, things happen for a reason, and she wasn’t afraid to stand up for herself and push back the nonsense. Good for her and then she was invited to the brand’s HQ and treated like the queen she is. She’ll go far and who knows what doors will open for her in the future now.

This is the cutest. How DARE these people?

Have people always been this disgusting or is social media a total breeding ground for nasty, horrible people?

She's 17! I'd be happy to get any bag at that age, $80 would have been a luxury to me. Those trolls are like Kanye, why would you ruin a 17 year old's moment.

My first car (which I am still paying for by the way) cost a good 20k in US dollars. Perhaps for some, it sounds a luxury. For others, it may be nothing big. To me though, it's a symbol of finally standing on my own two feet (still some ways to go but I'm getting there). This may be unpopular, but luxury-gatekeeping is a sh*tty attitude in my opinion. What you consider a regular purchase may be a luxury to some. Just be grateful that you can afford it but also don't be afraid to show pride in finally owning something from your own blood, sweat, tears and pain. That being said, I hope the rest of you get nothing but the best out of life for yourselves as well. Life's too short for any form of gatekeeping.

NTA all the way! OP, stay in school, go to college, get good grades, train for a lucrative career, and you can help make your parents’ lives easier, since they love you and sacrificed so much for you. On a more personal note, the only way I can afford luxury clothing and accessory items is when I buy them secondhand—-though they try to make it sound better by calling it “consignment”.

Luxury is having time and money to put on comfy pajamas, eat your favorite dessert, and watch your favorite movie. Luxury is the ability to use your resources for something you love, especially something that is a rare treat.

Luxury is in the eye, and the history, of the beholder. I love that bag and I love that her dad loves her enough to buy it for her and I love that she loves that bag and I love that the whole meaning behind it all makes her so happy.

That bag is very classy. I've seen much more expensive bags that weren't as classic just faddish. You rock it. Great dad you got there.

I understand where she's coming from. Well, I suppose that's not a fair statement. My family and I never went without food but did we have money to drop $80 on a purse? HELLLLLL no. Nowadays, as a woman in her thirties, I rarely pay over fifteen dollars for a purse. This young lady looks so happy and the bag she received is bitchin. Do you, sweetheart 😘 be happy. Your bag looks spacious but don't put any f*cks in there for the haters.

It's so sad that people choose to condemn her definition of "luxury", instead of acknowledging how much she appreciates her dad. There are so many teens these days that have absolutely no appreciation of how hard their parents try to provide for them, and instead is never contented and constantly ask for more. She is so mature that she understands her parents' hardship and is genuinely moved by their action. I hope her dad is super proud of her. I would be proud to have her as my daughter!

Her choice of bag looks lovely and of great quality. 🥰 However, some of the comments below are judgemental of people who do buy designer bags. I’m young, didn’t get any financial help from my parents, don’t have any debts, have my own business, invest a far lot more than I spend and am a property investor but still have lots of designer items. At the same time I visit my grandpa who is a stroke survivor most days of the week. Having designer items does not mean that someone is a bad person or is not actually wealthy and is pretending to be. It’s okay to aspire in life. Personally every time I buy a designer item my business grows, my health gets even better. These items help bring joy to my life not just practicality.

thats one gigantic bag though!

That is expensive. So are those beats headphones and those docs. Good for her.

Some people are just plain mean.

Your Luxury might not be someone else’s. I would also consider a $80 bag a luxury. And really does it matter she’s happy let her be don’t down someone’s happiness.

Dang, such criticism! Just let her be.

im not surprised people commented hate messages, $80 for a bag that looks like a plain silicon bucket is beyond ridiculous

I love her pure soul. Can you imagine how much better would the world be if more people and kids would be like her?

I don't understand the haters. To me, luxury is something that you don't normally buy for your self or an experience you don't normally do. It could be something as a $5 bar of scented soap for a treat or getting your nails painted when you normally do it yourself. Or talking a walk at lunch instead of eating at your desk. Or even just sleeping in an extra hour on a day off. Or going out for lunch - even fast food - if you normally brown bag it. It doesn't mean a $5,000 handbag to me.

I've never heard of that brand before, but they are a company I would gladly give my money to after reading this article. Good people do exist.

I STILL can't afford an $80 bag, but I truly LOVE the $40 purple Liz Claiborne (on clearance) purse my family gave me for mother's day a few years ago. I love the Liz Claiborne brand but have rarely bought anything. Hubby and kids found it on clearance because of a small mark on the bottom. Purple is my favorite color, too. I used that bag until the straps broke. Still have it. It's not about the price. It's about the love of something that someone gave you. Shame on those people who tried to make her feel bad. You'll never understand what it means when someone sacrifices for you.

Awww xx she loved that bag... it's not the price but how it makes you feel inside. Some horrible folk about

Hey we have the same nationality and name! And I would also say that's luxury because here 80 dollars is like, super expensive. u go girl!

I bought new underwear today. With the price of utilities, I consider that a luxury XD

How ignorant some people are. Luxury is subjective. I doubt even one of those bashers can even afford Charles and Keith. Their products have really good quality. Just say you're jealous and move on. Give this kid a break.

OMG to me that is luxury as well. When you have nothing but flour and water to eat, that's when even a $20 handbag becomes a luxury.

I would never spend $80 on a bag! But I'm also not into fashion or brand names. I wear what I like and is comfortable. I would also never be an asshat and tell someone the thing they love and are proud of isn't a luxury! A hot bath is a luxury for some people! Having hot food or clothing they didn't make themselves could be a luxury...my point is until you've walked a mile in someone else's shoes you have no right to judge.

Maybe I'll be down voted but I cannot believe so many (mostly) younger people have this desire to buy designer or expensive products just gor the name and then to have to brag about it on social media. It seems so superficial that such importance surrounds a handbag. It's as if these young people are blind and deaf to anything outside of this fantasy bubble where life is looks and materialistic goods.
