I met an Upper East Side mom at a party and asked if I could photograph her bag.
She said, “Oh, do you want me to take a picture of you holding the bag?” which of course misses the point.
But I held the tote anyway, and noticed that the straps were so crisply tan that they looked brand new – or bright plastic.
“You kept it so clean!” I smiled.
“It’s the first time I’ve taken it out of the box!” She answered.
But who keeps a Murakami Vuitton in its case for five years? Definitely not us…
(although we do keep track of what’s real and what’s fake, and you can click on the photo to know.)
