This is especially true with luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Prada. People are either trying to impress others with fakes, or they’ve actually paid full price to become walking billboards.

Similar thing with iPhone cases that have a cutout for the Apple logo. That's just hilarious.

Peacocking. It's called Peacocking.

Not only are you advertising how much money you've spent, but also how uncreative you are with your money.
