Am I the only one seeing Louis Vuitton bags everywhere?

Living in Spain for a while, I thought I would get away from all the brand mania we undergo in Paris. I guess I’m a little naive sometimes… but if you ever go to Madrid, walk around the Puerta Del Sol and all you will see is racks of fake bags sold for nothing. Forget about the monuments, people go there to buy the bag they dreamt about their whole life. Fake or not, how much are we willing to pay for carrying something that actually means nothing? Sure I would love to own a nice bag (@loewe please ), but having one everyone has, yuuuck . And they’re so reproducted it’s almost impossible to recognize a real one.

All this fakeness around me got me thinking: do people fake more than their apparel? Forget about the contouring and wig trends brought by the Kardashians, but think about relationships. As we wear brands we want to be part of, how many among us are friends with people just for their popularity or money? In other words, a cast you’d wish to be in. As today’s youth know the Vuitton monogram better than their maths formula, is it time for a change? To bring back the genuine and forget Supreme? That counterfeit Chanel Boyfriend bag may look like it’s real but deep down you know it’s bullshit, just like your pseudo perfect relationship you show off on social media…

If you don’t have it, don’t fake it, that only works on instagram…
