A video of a mother-daughter duo from Mumbai buying a Hermes Mini Kelly worth Rs 27.9 lakh has gone viral on the internet, causing conversations about luxury spending. The video was also shared on Instagram by Love Luxury, a seller of pre-owned designer bags, where in the bride-to-be is seen picking the compact designer accessory solely to carry her lipstick during her honeymoon. The mother initially proposed a bigger bag, but the daughter insisted on the Mini Kelly, claiming that it was stylish and practical for her needs.
