luxury industry is doing better than ever. spending is way up. Stanley cups and Labubus are distractions for the poors pretending to be rich in a hyperconsumerist world driven by the algorithm. real luxury is things and experiences you are so priced out of you have no clue they even exist.

Amen. A fren once told me: “Labubu became popular because of all the rich people and influencers putting it on their Birkin, so regular ppl that don’t have money for a Birkin can still feel rich somehow.” Bottom line is: it’s all bout trends, but real luxury is a whole different story, and I don’t think it’s even out there no more. Even high fashion brands make their stuff in china and they just sew the label in Italy so that they can still have that fake “made in Italy” quality
