“This is the bag that you can spend a few weeks’ salary on and not feel guilty. It is going to last you a lifetime.”
If even $3,200 seems like a lot of money for you — and for most people, it IS a lot of money! — the only proper response to Garcia’s sense of spending is: LOL.
Even if we’re going with the low-end figure, $3,200 may be a pretty comprehensible sum of money, but only a select few could spend that much on a handbag and still consider it a guilt-free purchase. There are many other ways normal people might want to stretch a few thousand bucks. Like, you know, paying for housing or medical care, saving up for retirement or education. I don’t know: you could even use that money to feed your body and forestall death for a pretty long time. The point is, there are good reasons to shop quality and there are times and circumstance that call for a big splurge, but a $3,200 bag is aspirational, and Garcia’s tweeting about it as if it’s a neccessity.
