Granny uses her $1200 Louis Vuitton to bag her fish from the market
There's something fishy about this tale, but that's probably coming from the luxury handbag in it.
A man in Taiwan recounted on Dcard, a Whisper-style confessions site, how his grandma used the luxury designer bag he bought her.
The bag, from Louis Vuitton's Neverfull range, retails for about $1,260.00.
The anonymous man who posted from the Taipei-based China University of Technology, said that he bought the bag for his grandmother because it's been a while since she bought herself a new one:
"My grandmother doesn't really understand all this luxury stuff, so usually uses those traditional Chinese flower-print cloth bags," the man says. "I bought the LV bag for my grandmother last month -- like the classic ones which are very big. I don't know how to pick one myself, so I asked the store assistant to pick one out for me."
"I went home today to visit my grandmother, and I couldn't believe it -- her bag was filled with milkfish!" he adds. "I was rather worked up, so I asked my grandma: 'Why would you put fish in here, without a plastic bag? It's an LV bag.'"
He says his grandma thanked him for the bag, saying: "It doesn't leak! It's just a little heavy."
"I was too worked up, and I forgot to take a picture," he says. "Grandma then flashed her charming smile, and I thought, 'It's okay, as long as she's happy, then I'd have done my duty as a grandson.'"
The post is going viral on Dcard, where it's been liked over 31,000 times.
"Wow, your grandmother walks at the forefront of fashion at the market!" said a user.
"Your grandmother certainly has the most fashionable vegetable basket in town."
"Imagine the look on their faces when some rich lady finds out she has the same bag as your grandmother."
