Are those viral TikToks true? Are luxury handbags actually not worth much at all?
They have gone viral tearing apart luxury handbags. You know them. Those leather craftsman on TikTok who have made it their mission to let you know that that Chanel bag you thought you wanted save for is only really worth $100 at best. They say these things aren’t worth the price tag. But is that…
