She earns less than 6,000 yuan ($943) a month but is the proud owner of a 20,000 yuan Louis Vuitton (LV) bag. She says she lived on instant noodles and took buses instead of the subway to save 5-yuan a day in order to buy her dream bag.
Lu's American colleague, Niki Anderson, who has been interning in Shanghai for the last four months, notes that almost every young woman in her office owns a brand name bag - but thinks brands like LV are old-fashioned.

Another brand, Swatch Group, which owns 19 watch labels including Omega and Breguet, opened the Swatch Art Peace Hotel in Shanghai last month.
The event was broadcast live by Weibo users, with more than 1,500 users tweeting about it on the same day. The group's CEO, Nick Hayek, says he was surprised at the increase in the number of young Chinese consumers, who have become so sophisticated.
LV chairman and CEO Yves Carcelle said during the brand's exhibition at the National Museum of China: "We started in China nearly 20 years ago. It's now a brand-new generation to whom it's also important to tell how the past of Louis Vuitton explains the reality of today."
Some of these young consumers, however, are blamed for damaging the image of luxury brands. For instance, 20-year-old Guo Meimei showed off her Hermes bags and her 2.4 million yuan ($377,093) Maserati on Weibo, but was later caught up in a charity funding scandal.
Several months later, You Yixi, 19, emulated Guo by showing off her LV travel bag and Hermes handbag on Weibo, too. As a result, products from these two labels were condemned by netizens.
"The two young girls brought damage to the image of these labels in China," says Elan Shou, managing director and senior vice-president of Ruder Finn China.
Even so, LV still topped the list when it came to the popularity of bags in the 2011 China Luxury Forecast, while Hermes ranked fourth.
