The fact these bags can be faked and sold at a fraction of the price just shows how much the luxury brands are ripping people off. Yes quality and materials might not be the same but some dupes are pretty good. I’ve wasted so much money on designer bags and, as a 50 year old, could have bought another house or many *esluxs* with what I’ve spent. My advice is to only buy if you can afford it plus other important things and don’t necessarily turn your nose up at a dupe!

I think that everybody if they are interested, should continue on with their college education, especially if they can afford it because you don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow the company seems like it’s on its way to be successful but you never know so that’s good for her!

Man when they said her mom died I started bawling crying. I’m really proud of her for pressing on. I couldn’t imagine. My mom is my rock and everything. ❤️

I love her taste in fashion! She mixes so many colors and textures in her clothes and I can see how she incorporated that into her bags! Bags are so adorable!

1. Don't go on food stamps. It's going to hold you down. 2. Get a job even if it's a low paying job. 3. Get disgusted with being poor and do something positive about your own situation. 4. Understand capitalism opens the door to wealth and escaping poverty. Capitalism is awesome and good. It has pulled more people out of poverty and lack than any other economic system or social and economic system ever!! 5. Look for ways to serve the want's and needs of others. 6. College education is no longer as important or needed especially if you are going to work for yourself. 7. Good parents save for the future and help their good kids. 8. Cheap foreign labor can be used to build your product from many places not just communist China. 9. Owning a business is hard work and a big responsibilty.

Who cares what someone has or doesn’t have. It doesn’t make you any better than anybody else. Real or fake. It’s nobody’s business unless you’re paying their bills. I think some people are just butt hurt by the fact that they spent $5,000 on a handbag and anyone can get *esluxs* that looks identical for a few hundred bucks or less. Stop worrying about stuff that doesn’t matter.

I love everything that she said. You have to be willing to go and find the life that you want. I'm definitely going to do that
