In the pathfinder society field guide I came across this entry
Vanities are flavorful character background elements that players can use to customize their characters. Vanities generally have minor game effects; when they do, these effects tend toward non-combat bonuses. A character can own as many vanities as she wishes, but each comes with a set Prestige Point cost that may be paid with Prestige Points from any faction. Additionally, some vanities provide their own restrictions, as detailed below. As a general rule, vanities cannot be purchased with gold, but a GM can certainly use “free” vanities as rewards for adventures if she wishes.
what exactly does this mean?
That a GM in a home game could use some as rewards, this making them "free" to the character. In actual PFS play this would probably only happen if the vanity were a boon received from completion of a mission.

This.
It's important to remember that the Field Guide to Pathfinder Society is not just a PFS book, it also a Pathfinder Campaign book.
