  • Why link the bag?

    With no numbers to indicate teens and twentysomethings want it, with nothing really to separate it from any other dumb expensive bag, with nothing in particular to connect it to the book or the article, the bag is one of two or three things in total that gets a link on the page. Why? Does the author just happen to like that bag? Or am I supposed to tut disapprovingly at the excesses of kids these days? Or perhaps salivate in the manner of a Sex and the City character? I'm genuinely puzzled, how did that link add to the article in any way?
