It all kicked off when NYC-based fashion designer Rachel Ellenbogen went viral on TikTok this week after sharing a beaded embroidery design she turned into a small purse. According to Rachel’s video, she spent between 15-17 hours designing and creating the purse. She listed it for sale at $990 USD based on the price of materials and her labour involved. Despite receiving a lot of love for her creation, her comment section has also been flooded with complaints about the “high” price of the purse, with some calling it an “injustice” to charge that much money for a purse amid a cost of living crisis. Others claim they could buy a similar style of purse from fast fashion retailers for much less. This has sparked intense debate over TikTok's fast fashion culture, consumer entitlement, and how little we really understand about art.
