Can you tell me which bags might be seen as papa-katsu bags by some people? I saw the Lady Dior mentioned on Twitter. Is the Birkin excluded since it’s too expensive and impossible to buy?

Some people may look like they’re doing papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) no matter what brands they carry, while others don’t. I think it’s best to carry what you genuinely want, regardless of what anyone else thinks.

I’d say a Birkin is more associated with Ginza hostesses than with papa-katsu. Apparently, it’s nicknamed the “Ginza backpack.” A man who runs a lounge in Roppongi told me that when he sees a woman carrying a Celine Luggage bag, he assumes she may work in nightlife and be earning fairly well. I feel like it was also popular in the papa-katsu scene a few years ago. As for accessories, Van Cleef & Arpels’ Alhambra collection is another one.
