If I had a spare 10 million, I would certainly buy that bag. After all, it can quietly sit in a bank vault untainted by time until I decide to sell it for a magnificent and guaranteed profit. There are always buyers for one-off icons.

He’s Japanese and this is the current style that is popular in Japan. Loose, oversized and flowy, especially since it’s hot like heck in summer. In fact, it’s reminiscent of Japanese summer yukatas, or traditional clothes, in terms of the cut.

Well his business is actually reselling luxury bags. So as a business expense and marketing tool for his business, it’s seen as an investment. Like, can you imagine being in the luxury bag business and showing that your centerpiece is like THE luxury bag?
