Fashion fans are furious after a viral infographic has revealed what their handbag really says about them.
The infographic broke down pricey designer bags into categories, including ‘filthy rich,’ ‘boss lady,’ and ‘elegant rich beauty.’
The graphic put Hermès at the top, signifying ‘filthy rich.’ Typically, the Birkin is the most difficult to procure bag in the world, and retails for up to $150,000, depending on the material. The ‘basic’ model costs around $11,400 if bought directly from Hermès.
The second most exclusive bag was courtesy of Chanel, which is fitting, as the French design house shocked fans when it tripled the price of its accessories.
Dior was next on the pyramid, followed by Gucci, which famously has a whole slew of celebrity super fans.
Celine was said to signify ‘second gen rich’ while Bulgari is apparently for a ‘single modern lady.’
According to the ranking, luxury leather handbags from Belgian luxury leather handbag maker Delvaux are meant for supervisors.
Controversially, monogrammed Louis Vuitton purses were said to be the right level of luxury bag for an office worker.
According to the chart, MCM bags, which typically start at $490 for micro options, will most often be found on the arm of a student.
After the Stylish Facebook account shared the infographic, fashionistas erupted and were quick to share their thoughts on the divisions.
‘How does a office worker afford a LV?’ a confused commenter questioned.
Another person snarked, ‘A real LV is not something just anyone can afford.’
‘What type of office worker are you imagining? Do all office workers make $7.25 an hour?’ a commenter asked.
Multiple commenters accused working class people of having fake Louis Vuitton bags, as the brand’s purses typically cost upwards of $2,000 depending on the design.
Many people brought up less expensive bags, with one asking, ‘Where does my Walmart bag fit into all this?’ and another saying they must be a ‘ditch digger.’
More affordable favorites included Coach, Kate Spade, Michael Kors, with people joking they must be a ‘peasant’ because their bag of choice didn’t make the list.
Others brought up designer purses that weren’t included, like YSL, Valentino, Fendi, and Prada.
‘If you don’t have the same or more financial liquidity in your accounts that the bag costs, the bag is not for you. Personally I prefer understated elegance.
‘I must be broke because I’d rather have $3K in my purse than a purse worth $3K… But seriously, does that expensive bag do anything different than the $150 one? Just curious!’
Some commenters used the graphic to take a jab at Gen Z, who they thought spent far too much money on designer accessories.
‘It is upside-down now with this current generation. The poor ones, mostly students are the ones pretending to look expensive,’ a commenter agreed.
