What your designer bag says about you

You are my 18 year old sister who is pissed she didn’t get into NYU and listens to grownup podcasts because she is an ~intellectual~

Haha.

You are easily swayed by Instagram ads and too lazy to figure out the return process.

You’ve got money to burn and you like classic styles with an edge. You are completely out of touch with the average American lifestyle.

Guilty as charged!

Haha. Another take: you are rich but you only want other rich people to know it

Loved the handbag choices for the characters in The White Lotus. Perfectly fit each character

This thread is the agony of technically being able to afford nice things but needing to fund 529s instead.

You can’t afford a designer bag (probably the YSL tote) but you aren’t trying to announce that to the world. You want what’s trendy but you don’t want people to think you do. It was between this and the madewell transport tote.

This one's wrong. Could afford a designer bag but aggressively don't want one, just want something simple, well-constructed, and no logos. Sometimes compliment other people's bags by name so they know that you know, but choose not to engage.

Yup when I see all those 30 something year olds hustling to and from work with a loaded up madewell or cuyana tote on their arm I think “wow, those women must feel very passionately about the quality of their handbags and, despite appearances, must actually be very wealthy”

Yes, I see a lot of madewell/Cuyana in Silicon Valley on women who could easily afford any bag they want.

I think pp was being sarcastic. I definitely don’t see cuyana as a rich lady bag, more like a basic work bag for the woman who looked around and said, “sure, I’ll just take what everyone else is having”. You need the monogram or you’ll get them mixed up at the office.

DP but point is the sarcastic PP was wrong. Plenty of women have lots of money and no desire to buy a designer bag - Cuyana is nice looking, well-constructed, and no logos. There's a whole subset of women, many of them wealthy enough to afford designer, who only want those three things. It's not just a bag for broke 20-somethings or strivers who want the designer label but can't afford it. It's for people who want a bag that is not ugly and will hold up and that's it. The ethical pledge gives it and edge in places like SV.

This! Ethical brands are HUGE in SV.

NP but I noticed Nicole has an LV Neverfull (in the summery azure) which is so perfectly basic. A wardrobe staple for someone who doesn’t put much thought into their wardrobe but buys what their friends have. She wears it like sunscreen, something she had to buy out of necessity but doesn’t give any thought to.

Rachel has a goyard tote in green (I think). She is young and torn between wanting to enjoy the world of affluence and conspicuous consumption and wanting to be unique and different from a woman like, say, Nicole or her MIL in her Lilly Pulitzer dresses.

The teens and their canvas drug bag is great. They read books about colonialism and buy old vintage items as a means to rebel against their parents, all the while taking for granted a luxury tropical vacation
