A Taiwan netizen said on local social networking site “Dcard” on March 29 that his grandma had been treating a Louis Vuitton handbag he had gifted her as an ordinary plastic bag for all kinds of groceries and even milkfish. She even told him the handbag was very waterproof, but slightly heavy, leaving him dumbfounded.
The post (in Chinese) says she hadn’t realised her new handbag was an iconic Louis Vuitton – and greeted him with it filled with groceries and fresh fish.

The ‘Neverfull’ handbag is highly prized in Asia and around the world, and retails for US$1,110.
The post explains his grandmother had been using the same tired handbag for years, so he wanted to treat her with a new expensive one.
While admitting he was “speechless” to see her waving at him with the bag filled with fresh fish, he said he decided not to point out her mistake after seeing how happy it made her.
The post has been liked more than 31,000 times by the network’s users. Netizens say grandma is now a fashion icon and applauded her as simple and adorable.
“Your granny is the fashion icon of wet market.”
“Lol, this is the most fashionable shopping basket of the day.”
“Your granny must be most fashionable person at the market, walking around like she’s strutting on the runway, even the fish has gone up in value!”
Really want to know the comment from
Louis Vuitton. Lol
