^I believe we all don't really take the reporter's comments personally.
Except that, I don't understand the whole concept of brand-sarcasm? Isn't it like an outdated old news to comment on? Like hating Bottega Veneta, hating Hermes, etc. Even designers themselves of the major brands don't publicly say such things.
I've not heard Karl Lagerfeld saying Thomas Maier is terrible or vice versa. We have so many brands out there to cater to everyone's taste. All this is unnecessary. Plus, this rarely happens in Asia where I live. Reporters don't comment on the negative aspects of a luxury brand, maybe more in service-wise, not on its designs. Jmho.
Pls don't shoot me.

I certainly understand this line
I find the writers take and tone as as a "have not" wanting to be or trying to understand the "haves"

i think you will find now that most of the Critical Shopper columns are similarly "snarky" (a better word escapes me) when it comes to high-end retail shopping. there are a few exceptions. i find the column, when it was written by Cintra Wilson, was funnier and more light-hearted.
In the article there was definitely disdain for the 1%'ers and all our accoutrements. She didn't quite hit the right note of humor though. Handbags are a way for status-conscious 99%'ers to experience a little luxury. Why knock it? In fact it creates more demand and more fun product to fulfill the demand so we all benefit.
