A #Filipina teen was recently mocked for calling #CharlesAndKeith a #luxury brand. She handled her online bullies well, and it got her, and her father, a meal with the brand's founders and a tour of their HQ.
Charles & Keith is a Singaporean brand that the #LouisVuitton luxury group used to have a 20% stake (it was since bought back). (Aside: LVMH owns a lot of luxury brands like Christian #Dior, #Loewe, #Tiffany & Co., and #TAGHeuer, to mention a few.) If the LVMH luxury group bought shares of Charles & Keith before, it should be enough proof, in my view, that C&K is a luxury brand, too.
Either way, whichever side of the fence one subscribe to, we should not bully other people for calling a brand a “luxury”, or for any reason, just because it does not fit our own standards. By the word's definition, it means simply as “expensive”, or “great expense”. To this #Filipino teenager, and for anyone in fact, Charles & Keith is a luxury.
In the end, the bullies were the ones who were #LeftBehind and this young lady was “rewarded” for her honesty, and for not being afraid to share her situation and history.
