Bag spotting is not just a casual game; it is an extreme sport, and Eros insists it is a glamorous one too. "I'm all about romanticising the mundane, even if it's just snapping bags in a mall. It's more than that; I'm documenting trends and spotting patterns in how Malaysians splash their cash," says Eros. "And let's be real. I'd rather chase a rare [Hermès] Himalayan Birkin than clock in the stress of a 9-to-5 job."
Eros has carved out a reputation as the go-to guy for all things shopping. In his sartorial finesse, he effortlessly emanates the "I live and breathe fashion" ethos, a persona we immediately caught during our short conversation. Every day, he clocks his steps from strolling the streets of Bukit Bintang; dinner is practically a fashion week meal. "Baguette but Fendi's," he replied with a dash of flair if you are ever curious about his favourite food. But here is the twist - unlike his industry peers, he remains unwavering in his commitment to showcasing fashion as more than just content; his account is a bridge connecting people with fashion brands.
"I encountered a slew of challenges at the outset - turning down scripted reviews that ask me to lie or dealing with people that question my intentions to film. But, as they say, it's all good with time."
