Well, it could not be defied entirely, but could not also be accepted in complete assurance. That is so because, the objects of desire should not only be expensive, but also, one of a kind, mysterious, and magical. That is when it stands out from the rest, and it is then exactly when it becomes qualifies for being the aspect of personal luxury and object of desire.
