Who the heck are these people who want someone else to buy their purse, first of all, and second of all want it based on brand name? It takes me months to find one that's the right size/color/shape has the type of handle/pockets I want and when I do I don't care who made it just get the heck out of my way so I can stop hunting for the damn thing
The weird thing is I'm not even that picky. I just wanted a smallish black purse. But because I prefer a bit of a square shape it took over a year before I finally found one the right size and shape.

My poor mom bought a wallet-purse on a ferry ride in BC and has been trying to replace the thing for like 3 years and never been able to find one like it haha

Wtfff where are you from @Xvarnah? I live in Vancouver. I’ll ship your mom one the next time I hop on a ferry ;)
I never understood this obsession with brands. Why would you want something just because it has some logo/letters on it and a much higher price tag?
A while back I did some research on whether expensive brands have their items made more ethically, because I thought maybe that's why people buy them, but turns out that no, brands that sell €10,000 handbags still have their stuff made by Chinese and Bangladeshi kids in sweatshops with terrible conditions. So from then on I decided that the only ethical way I can afford to shop (I'm too broke for ethical brands) is to thrift. And it's been working out pretty well for me, online thrift stores have pretty high standards on what they accept so it will hardly ever happen that you'll get something in bad condition. And even then it's usually tiny things that I can fix in a minute.
