English translation
At 40+, dignity matters — clothes, bags, shoes. I picked this from my 20+ bags: right size, clean design, classic style.
적어도 40대라면 품격에 신경써야 한다. 옷, 가방, 신발등 말이다. 20개가 넘는 가방중에 가장 크기가 적당하고 깔끔한 디자인으로 골라봤다. 오늘은 이가방으로 정했다. 클래식해서 더욱 마음에 든다.
English translation
Her 'classic, dignified' bag? Just a paper shopping bag from casual brand Polham.

💡 Wait, the whole 'dignity' bag is just a shopping bag?
She frames it like picking a status purse, but Polham is a cheap casual brand — the 'bag' is just its free paper carrier, reused as a tote.vs. the US: flexing a 'new purse' that's really a kept Trader Joe's bag.Klore note
English translation
Polham's clean, hehe. I prefer the Bonjuk bag — symbol of the wellness crowd, hehehe.
폴햄 깔끔하지 ㅎㅎ 난 본죽가방좋아해. 건강신경쓰는 웰니스족의 상징이야 ㅎㅎㅎ
English translation
Got myself a new one ^^ — an Olive Young drugstore paper bag with Hello Kitty print.
난 이번에 신상하나 들였어^^
💡 Why does everyone keep one-upping with more paper bags?
Reusing paper bags as totes is a common thrifty habit in Korea, so people escalate by 'flexing' bags from a porridge chain and drugstore instead of real handbags.vs. Reddit: like a thread pretending your IKEA bag is haute couture.Klore note
