From caps to Gucci: Sarah Langa celebrates her MBA with a luxurious shopping spree

Luxury lifestyle influencer and entrepreneur Sarah Langa celebrated a significant achievement on July 15, when she graduated with a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Witwatersrand (Wits). 

“I’m a three-time Wits graduate and social media personality. Today is a very special day for me, being a Witsie for life, 14 years being on this campus. Today is the day I finally get my qualification. It’s been so exciting,” she said in a heartfelt video.

This achievement is just the latest in a string of academic successes for Langa, who already holds four qualifications, including a BA in Psychology and Marketing, a postgraduate diploma in Business, and a degree from the British Academy of Interior Design. 

As a reward for her hard work, the beauty-with-brains treated herself to a Gucci shopping spree, which she shared on her TikTok.

“A gift to myself for my graduation from @Gucci for every year I tested my mental health in the name of academic excellence,” she captioned the video. 

In the clip, she shared that the luxury items were a token of appreciation for the years of academic stress she endured, saying it was a gift for every year of “torture” she put herself through. Despite possibly going overboard, Langa believes the reward was worth it.

Among the luxurious gifts she gifted herself are the Gucci Nara sneakers with a detachable anklet belt, perfect for running errands in comfort.

She also picked up a bold Gucci blazer with the brand’s iconic monogram, saying, “Now we are all about business. Your girl has an MBA, so we gotta step it up.” The blazer will be a stylish addition to her “working woman” closet.

Another standout item is a pair of burgundy pumps featuring three leather straps, which she loves for their modern mash-up design. 

However, the real showstopper is a rare black leather Gucci bag that was the last one remaining in South Africa, which she feels was waiting for her.

She shared that she’s wanted the stylish bag before but did not have enough money to get it and decided to wait it out.

The bag comes with a detachable gold strap, allowing her to style it with various looks, from beachy to elegant to casual denim ensembles.

The four-time graduate is excited to experiment with different styles and make the bag a versatile addition to her wardrobe.

Langa’s recent splurge on Gucci goodies isn’t an isolated incident. Fellow beauty influencer Mihlali Ndamase recently shared with “News24” that her two Hermès Birkin bags, valued at around R1 million combined, are a three-year wait investment. 

She recently took to Instagram, flaunting her latest luxurious purchase in style at the Don Julio Tequila celebration day.

In May, Ndamase took to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, to shop for high-end luxury brands, and two of the items she spoiled herself with were the two Birkin bags under her belt.
