Playing The "Bag Game"
MEN'S FOLIO Malaysia|December 2023 - January 2024
The Bags of KL TikTok series is a virtual runway of designer arm candy flaunted by the people of Kuala Lumpur. The result? Click counts soaring into the millions. Men's Folio caught up with the person behind the lens to delve into his insights on the discerning taste of Malaysians when it comes to bags.

Playing The "Bag Game"

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."
