Broke or Bespoke is a satirical field guide to the wealth horseshoe — the point where the very rich and the very poor bend around and touch. Same rope bed. Same tin cup. Same dirt floor. Different receipt.

Each lot in the compendium is one small comedy: a habit, an object, or a way of living that is sold twice — once as poverty, once as luxury — with the middle class buying tickets to both shows.

We are not here to lecture, to shame, or to save anyone. We are here to laugh at the price tag.
