Why is this country going to shit as soon as we become adults 😭

[MK🎋 @Foe4MK]

This really hurts to even have to say but to have your work replicated by a bigger company really sucks. @bottega took my whole purse design and I created these by hand! As an upcoming designer don’t let these type of situations discourage you from chasing your dreams!
