…NOT! lol. I’m only dreaming, I’m definitely not crazy! £2500 on a bag??!Seriously!!!! Oya now, my close friends know I have been hunting for a bag lately(siiiince last year lol), there is no shop wey i never enter. I go enter look price tag comot. Shoooooooo. I go enter shop, as the weather cold reach i go dey sweat! Why?!I enter House of Fraser for London, na so as i enter i notice kpe the atmosphere different from Primark so I comport myself. I try to take in air and act like a big chic that I am (Gulp!) Na so I see one bag and I got that feeling- you know the feeling you get wey you see fine girl/dude and just as he/she is about to say hello to you, the girl/boyfriend shows face! LOL. I got a big slap on my face when I saw that the bag was £2500! (Insert flabbergasted face). The sales lady just waka near me (she could tell all was not well)
Mulberry Lady :Are you alright?
Me: i beg your pardon? (i have to beg na, shoooo £2500?)
Mulberry Lady: Can I help you with any of the bags?
Me: Oh no, thank you, i haven’t found one i like (with L-I-A-R boldy written on my face)lol
And then I walk away quietly…humbly…annoyed! and all I just wanted to say is : WHO DA HECK IS MULBERRY???Who GUCCI be? CALVIN KLEIN na god? PRADA get 2 head? Even if the bag is made of gold nko? shuoooooo!
Na so I see one girl for facebook, have u guys noticed the polo shirts? not the pidgin polo oh. lol. I say the Ralph Lauren one? So many people are sampling theirs. Me I kuku did not know the name before, all I know is that people are wearing tee shirt wey get one horse or man wey dey hold cane.So i say to myself,kai!this must be designers. I kon go google, i almost jump out of my chair like say fire burn my nyash! Whaaaaaaaat?Ordinary Tshirt na £120?kpe kini? Becos dey draw man and horse? The bigger the horse sef the higher the price. I just jejely go buy my usual Tshirt kon tell my friend say I don buy Polo shirt oh, I am now on the big girls league!lol.
Friend : oh where is the polo shirt?
Me: Cant you see?
Friend: But this is plain!(pointing at my Tshirt)
Me: Well the horse and the man have rode away…!Hian!lol
Na so so designers everywhere, and I never see people wey like designers pass Nigerians! GUCCI sunshades, FENDI shoes, LV bags, LOUBOUTIN shoes, CALVIN KLEIN perfumes….the list is endless! Designer labels everywhere, sotay Aba/Ontisha people have started their own too GUGGI, FENDU, CALVIN KLIN….lol. On a serious note, this is too much money we are spending on things that have no REAL value, material things! We ignore orphans, charities and refuse to give aid to the needy but we can spend all our money wearing just a LABEL. That is what it is. LABEL! If they ask some label-wearing person to show their account balance here now, na zero kobo go dey! No Savings! Its about getting the new season’s bag! Who did all this classification sef? “Oh…that dress is so last summer!” E concern you? I have clothes Ive been wearing since 2007 and they have refused to spoil or tear, yet no be designers.
Sadly, its mostly the youths doing this. How many of our parents wore designers at age 20? if we gather the money we spend on these labels e reach for some people to buy land. But no! We want to Wear Designers. We want to show off. We want people to know we are BIIGSSS. Show me your Account balance na! Hian!This is part of what leads to YahooYahoo.
I will not kill myelf, I have figured out why I don’t have a bag yet, nor be say bag nor full market, the one wey I like my pocket no reach! lol. Next time you are about to buy something ask yourself, Am I buying a product or buying a BRAND?!
