I was on vacation a couple of weeks ago on Mykonos in Greece when I spotted a thirty-something tourist carrying two bags. One was Dior, the other was a brown tote from the Four Seasons Astir Palace in Athens.

I immediately started doing the maths: The Dior tote sold for about US$3,000 (RM13,050), or roughly as much as a two-night stay at the Four Seasons in peak season this summer.
