When Louis Vuitton first teased their handbag shaped as fortune cookie at spring/summer Paris fashion week, it instantly went viral with many consumers craving to purchase the bag on site.
As the $2,130 fortune cookie bag sold out within the first couple of hours of its release, some consumers are starting to realize the handbag may not be as luxurious as they once thought it was.
The handbag made out of calf leather with a detachable strap that reads “creativity listens to the heart,” doesn’t seem efficient enough to purchase for some buyers.
“As cute as this bag is… it’s not functional. Keys and a phone and it loses its shape, not good,” wrote a viewer under a review on YouTube.
This was one of the many social media comments questioning the handbag capabilities.
While many people adore the design, people prefer to splurge on an item they can use everyday, not just on a night out with friends.
“I think “cookies” mode – only for short time use – for instance New Year party,” commented a viewer under a review on YouTube.
One consumer compared the packaging of the handbag to Shein, a TK that isn’t categorized as luxury. Another commented under a TikTok about how they admire the packaging more than the actual bag.
“My fortune cookie gonna say ‘this bag was a mistake,’” commented one user under a TikTok of the handbag.
