So the sneaker basically looks like it's dirty, there's brown spots everywhere and it looks like it's worn off. And they are selling it for I think lakhs and one lakh, two lakh and whatnot. So when I first saw this particular product, I was like, what is even happening? I can literally make the sneaker at home. I can wear my white sneakers and then go out in a dusty area and then I'll get my dusty sneaker aesthetic

Especially the youth today are not giving much value to money because it takes the time and effort to produce. So spending it also we should think about it before spending forever. Fashion oriented things. So anyway, thank you for posting this. Keep going. Good job

Hi Manalika. First of all, I totally agree with you. This is pointless to spend money, so much money, on stuff that probably will. Other people call those things fashionable. But to me and to us, people who actually know what fashion looks like or what we have this proper definition of fashion that doesn't match the definition of people who make things like that. I think to us, those things are, well, not only expensive, but expensive for all the wrong reasons

But on the other hand, we should also focus on whatever we are purchasing if these particular items are going to be sustained in the future or not. Because what if I'm buying something so costly right now just in the name of a trend and the trend goes away in the next few weeks? What am I going to do with that particular product? And most of the time, these expensive products are not returnable, right?

I do like I do that sometimes and I'm really guilty about it, but but on the other Hand, I always try to keep a balance. If I'm buying Something that is from a Fast fashion brand, I'll Go somewhere else and buy something that is going to be sustainable for many years. So that is something which I work upon and which is my motor. To always keep a balance
