Chinese especially like buying these luxury stuffs abroad since they are much cheaper than in China. But as a student, I don't understand why we need an LV bag, especially if purchasing it with our parents money. Also, I don't like the idea that "People look down on me if I don't have a LV bag". If you are really rich that you can afford a LV easily, why not? But if you want it just because of what other people say, it is just "Xu Rong Xin" (vanity) like we say in Chinese.
