You believe you’ve opted out of consumer culture’s chaos and chosen clarity instead. But the stillness begins to feel staged. And...
by Thea Elle | July 27, 2025 | Luxury BagsIt’s not really about carrying water or holding your keys. It’s about sending a message. Whether it’s a rare-color Stanley or a luxury bag that costs more than your rent, the goal isn’t function—it’s attention. The steeper the price, the stronger the...
