I just...don't understand why having a purse with certain letters on it is better than having one with other certain letters.
Actually, where I live, purses and sunglasses, along with brand of clothers indicate your social class. I live in a place I hate, where if you dont wear this or have that, your not "popular" but just like everywhere else, you adapt to your surroundings and either want one to have, or want one to say "yes, I have one"
