I think expensive designer handbags make you look stupid

Quiet good quality - love love love my Longchamp Tote. I realize it screams practical, but i think it also look inoffensive and decent.

Also Celine, smythson, bottega

I’ll admit I have a Louis Vuitton speedy that I love (they are good quality and sturdy) but rarely wear as I can’t help feeling it looks like I’m trying too hard and I’m too old to wear what is probably perceived as a “starter” luxury bag.

The LV bag has nearly doubled in price since I bought it 8 years ago which just amazes me.

(GASP!) person- I really hate you. Please stop with your annoying posts.

How do you have time to waste with this judgement?! Why do you care so deeply how others spend their money?

It literally wastes no time to think to yourself “wow, what an idiot.”

I rarely buy handbags--maybe once every 4 or 5 years. My current hand bag, I paid about $450. I had never heard of the name brand before--I just really liked the look of the bag. I've received a lot of compliments on it.

Some people are into fashion. If you go to NYC, many women carry $1000+ bags. So, you're not into it. Who are you to judge? Stop caring what others are doing. Maybe they judge you for spending a lot of a car or something else? Who cares!

Well okay. But why do you care what I do?

If you are riding the bus and living in a cardboard box your designer bag makes you look like you are a victim of stupidity.

ok and if I am riding in my Mercedes SUV and living in a 5k sf inner Beltway home?

I mean come on. This whole thread is stupid.

But is it your money though?? no? Okay... So why do you care?!

I wouldn't dish my own money but Mines are gifts from my husband throughout the years. I have single friends who spend on them and since it's not my money... I don't care!

No man I know knows what a nice bag is and certainly not "loubs" vs random no name high heels.

You need to meet a better class of man.

The loubs class? Where do I find them?

I don't care if women choose to overspend on handbags. However, it bothers me when women think that carrying a designer bag automatically makes them stylish. I see fashion blog posts, street style pics and real life wannabe fashionistas who wear ho-hum, snooze inspiring clothing and carry a designer bag (usually covered with monogram branding) and think they look stylish.
