Given that Brogan Mackay was born with not so much a silver spoon as a £25 Burberry designer dummy in her mouth, it is perhaps no surprise that she is growing up with rather expensive tastes.
In 11 short years she has graduated from £180 white Gucci loafers, bought by her mother, Alison, before Brogan could even toddle, to £475 Jimmy Choo sandals, and now has a wardrobe stuffed with designer outfits and handbags to match.
Her bedroom is strewn with Chanel and Prada handbags. A Gucci bag lies tossed to one side, and is that the latest Louis Vuitton lurking beneath a sequined cushion? Indeed it is, for Brogan likes to start each school year with a new ‘It’ bag.
If there was a GCSE in designer labels, Brogan would be on course for a triple-starred A.
And when she tires of all her designer clobber, she can amuse herself with her £550 flatscreen TV, iPhone and £1,300 worth of top brand computer equipment so she can keep up-to-date with the very latest trends and showbiz gossip about her favourite idols.
It will not surprise you to learn that her role models are such luminaries as Paris Hilton, Katie Price and sexually provocative pop star Lady GaGa, whose choice of outfit often consists of knickers and little else. Brogan, remember, is just 11, and has just finished primary school.
On top of all these designer purchases is the cost of Brogan’s make-up, nail extensions, hair highlights and the fake tanning sessions - paid for by the bank of Mum and Dad.
The total amount her parents have lavished on her over the past 11 years is in excess of £150,000 - enough to put towards a much bigger home than the three-bedroom flat in Glasgow where Alison, 28, a part-time pharmacy dispenser and hairdresser lives with Brogan’s father Stephen, 28, a supervisor at a plumbers’ merchants, and their younger daughter, Carys, aged five.
‘When I think of all the money we have spent on Brogan over the years, even I can’t believe it. Her first outfit as a newborn was Baby Dior,’ says Alison, who appears to equate love with lavishing consumer goods on her firstborn.ÂÂ
