A heartwarming video of a Mumbai mother and daughter shopping for a Mini Kelly bag has taken social media by storm. The mother is seen expressing her wish to gift her daughter a luxury bag for her honeymoon.
“Would you pay £26,000 for a bag to carry lipstick?” asked a company that deals in pre-owned luxury bags in an Instagram post accompanying the viral clip.
In the video, the two visit a store to check out the Hermes Kelly bag. The mother suggests choosing a larger version, and the daughter confidently chooses a smaller one, explaining her preference: she needs something chic and compact to “carry her lipstick” on her honeymoon.
The store owner offers a variety of options including bags in tan, white, black and blue. After examining each one carefully, the daughter finally chooses the white bag.
“Would you spend £26,000 on a bag just to carry lipstick?” The luxury page shared the video with the thought-provoking caption.

The video generated over two million views and sparked heated debates across social platforms. Some criticized the wealth and questioned the rationale behind such an expensive purchase, while others defended it as a personal choice and privilege.
One user marveled: “Will pay £26,000 for a wedding. Some people have too much money. I love bags, but thousands for a handbag is unbelievable.”
Another commenter questioned the priorities: “I'd put that kind of money on her future home or something other than a bag.”
Others shared similar sentiments, writing, “True madness! Too much money,” and “Middle-class families would get a whole wedding with that money.”
Others, however, recognized the bag's high price and acknowledged its craftsmanship. One viewer commented, “Those are beautiful bags, I always look at them, but I can never afford one of these. If I could, I wouldn't spend it on a bag.”
The video sparks debate about luxury spending, with viewers divided on the balance between extravagance and practicality.
