Socho agar ek basketball kharidne ke liye pehle tumhe kayak, golf clubs, aur branded clothes kharidne padte, yeh silly lagta hai na? Lekin Birkin bag ke buyers ke liye yeh hi reality hai. Yeh bag manufactured exclusivity ko represent karta hai. Hurdles ke bawajood, log saalon tak paisa bachate hain isse kharidne ke liye, bina color aur style choose kiye.

Wealthy logon ko apna status prove karne ki zaroorat nahi hoti, unki financial stability khud hi bolti hai. Bohot saare super rich, jaise Bill Gates aur Mark Zuckerberg, simple aur unbranded kapde pehnte hain. Unhe pata hai ki true wealth ko show off karne ki zaroorat nahi.
