What is considered a "luxury" purely depends on the individual and not what society deems it to be. If a Charles & Keith bag is comforting or elegant to the girl which involved great expense to her father or family, then this is a "luxury" item.  The term "luxury" is in the eye of the beholder. A child in a poor village would define an ice cream as a luxury treat. A teen who does not earn her own keep but saves up to buy something would call that bag a luxury.  When I was young, Giordano was a luxury brand. When I started working, G2000 was a luxury brand. For a lot of people, having clothes to wear is already a luxury. When I first bought a Casio watch costing me S$25, that was a luxury watch to me. I remember trying my best to take good care of it but alas, it lasted only a few months.  I’m 32, and only this year I managed to get my mom and me matching Kate Spade wallets just cos when I was younger I could never afford it. And it was my first luxury purchase. Anything from your parent is a luxury! Having your parents around who love you is a luxury. Having a roof over your head and education paid for is a luxury. When I was your age, I did not have a daddy who bought me bags when my dear mother passed on. The luxury I see here is a teen who can be so happy and grateful for a gift from her dad, regardless of the price tag or brand. That is priceless. In time to come, she may or may not be able to afford much higher tier products, but it will not matter if she holds on to the ability to be grateful and happy for whatever she has. I feel happy for her dad. He raised a beautiful daughter who appreciates the gift and doesn’t take things for granted. Some people have a sickness in their foul hearts that they must belittle and ridicule others who are happy and contented. Why can't they just say, "Good for you" or "Nice gift from dad" and move on?  If she sees it as luxury, so be it. If you disagree, leave instead of spitting negativity. Don't go around crushing people's pride and joy just because you're privileged to do so. Luxury is a consumer’s perspective. Shame on the adults who left hurtful and nasty remarks on a young girl’s post. There is always someone richer and wealthier than us.  In this world where you can be anything, please be kind. These types of toxic comments have a great impact on mental health. The price she's paying to get attention via social media. Tsk tsk… You post online, expect all sorts of comments, like it or not. But seems like you are achieving your goal of receiving many likes and follows. After you cash in on your social media status, you can then buy society-recognised luxury brands to show off.
