FILE #002

Subject designation

The LV Tita

Field profile

Arrives with a real (or very convincing) designer bag and an opinion on your life choices, delivered with love and zero filter.

Known behaviors

  • Reads the label on your outfit before she reads your mood.
  • Calls every purchase an 'investment,' the bag included.
  • Has strong, unsolicited feelings about your relationship status.

Natural habitat

The good table at any christening, the front of the duty-free line, and the comments section of your latest photo.

Signature phrase, on record

“Investment 'to, hija.”

Case notes

The bag might be real, might be a deeply committed copy from Greenhills, and you will never be brave enough to ask which. Underneath the appraising once-over is genuine affection, which tends to show up later as a gift you did not know you needed and cannot return. Accept it graciously. Arguing about money, taste, or timelines with this subject is a war no niece has ever won.

Engagement protocol, for field use

  1. 01Compliment the bag immediately. Whether it is real is not your business and never will be.
  2. 02Do not debate the word 'investment.' You will lose, and she has receipts, literal ones.
  3. 03Accept the unsolicited gift graciously. Resistance is read as rejection of love, not of the item.
