About carrying designer items when meeting my papa
This content is machine-translated.
I love designer goods and own quite a few, but when I meet my papa, I try to carry items that aren’t obviously recognizable as designer pieces.
For example, with Hermès, I’ll carry things like the newer In-the-Loop, Lindy, or Garden Party bags.
Some people are put off when they realize something is extremely expensive, and I feel that acting like you don’t have much money is generally better received. But I still want to carry nice things, so I choose designer items that only people in the know would recognize.
I have a bit of pride and don’t want to carry cheap bags. However, because I was carrying a bag that clearly wouldn’t be recognized as a designer item unless someone was very knowledgeable, a woman carrying an obvious designer bag—such as a basic Louis Vuitton model—looked down on me.
She didn’t even know the different types of Hermès bags, so I assume she thought mine was an unbranded bag.
The era of trying to one-up people is over, but it still left me feeling unsettled.
From a papa’s perspective, is it easier to see someone carrying an obvious brand like Louis Vuitton and think, “She’s being spoiled—she must be a high-value woman”?
I feel that if I entered the nightlife industry, I’d meet people who could recognize newer Hermès pieces, but there seem to be fewer such people in papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan).
Because of that, I feel people assume I can’t afford designer goods or don’t have anyone buying them for me.
I’ve already bought myself quite a few top-of-the-line pieces, which is precisely why I don’t want to flaunt them. I usually dress and accessorize simply.
Does being visibly spoiled make someone more attractive after all? Would it be better to cover myself in designer goods rather than look like I don’t have much money?
I’d love to hear your opinions.
Sorry for the long post.
