It was supposed to be a triumph—a significant investment into a beautifully crafted purse from a prestigious brand. The weight of the purchase matched the promise of style and luxury. However, my excitement turned to disappointment when, upon the first use, I realized the straps were too short to offer any real comfort. I had fallen into a common trap faced by many consumers: a mismatch between aesthetics and usability. This issue is not confined to purses alone. Many find that a stunning pair of shoes pinches unbearably or that carefully chosen luggage cannot house even half of one's travel necessities as expected.
