“Neverfull”? More like never worn.
A TikTok user is facing backlash for improperly storing her costly designer handbag — which she claims she hasn’t used once in the four years she’s owned it.
The content creator, Aryn, revealed that her Louis Vuitton Neverfull, which she claims cost a whopping $4,000, has been stored in its original packaging, the hallmark orange box collecting dust in her closet.
“Asked for a very fancy bag 4 years ago and never even opened the box,” Aryn admitted in a viral TikTok clip, in which she swiped her finger across the box to show how dusty it was.
In the caption, the 36-year-old Massachusetts mom claimed that she’s worried that she’ll damage the luxury accessory if she uses the bag, which she told The Post she received as a wedding present from her husband.
“I know it’s so silly,” she wrote. “Why have things just to keep them unopened in the closet?”
Viewers agreed, saying that it was “lame” that the expensive bag went unused for all these years.
“I feel like with designer and nicer things, if you can’t afford to use it and it get some wear you couldn’t afford it in the first place,” chided one person.
Another chimed in, “I wear my designer bags as everyday purses, so the idea of ‘saving them for a special occasion’ seems lame to me. “
“Life is short. Enjoy the bag,” encouraged someone else.
“I would be so mad if I bought someone something expensive and they never used it,” commented another.
Some users even warned about dry rot, which occurs when leather degrades over time due to a type of fungus and becomes brittle and dry. When this happens, the leather cracks, flakes or crumbles and is typically unsalvageable.
“Look up dry rot,” one person advised. “It’s better to use it than have it fall apart from sitting for so long.”
Aryn told The Post that she’s now “worried” about what the bag will look like when she opens the box this week, and now vows to “use it and other items more” — “at least that’s what I’m telling myself,” she added.
“Oh well, live and learn,” she quipped online.
