[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend dropped her purse in a puddle while we were talking by phone. She mentioned the brand and how it had been given to her as a gift.

The purse is around $3k. [b]I can’t make myself interested in an expensive purse and wondered if anyone felt the same?[/b]

I’m happy for my friend that she likes her purse. But I don’t value purses and barely notice what purses people use.

My friend and I are very different and I love that we respect each other. She grew up extremely wealthy, and she is my window into the one percent life…

Am I a weirdo for feeling this way? And should I be better at recognizing status symbols?

I mean ... I'm not trying "to make myself interested" in anything. I like nice bags, for multiple reasons, but I do't care what other people carry, or even notice most of the time.

Sounds like you are simply feeling the need to engage in a bit of reverse-snobbery to feel superior. Not a great look.[/quote]

I disagree with you here. The fact I am not interested in purses does not equal “reverse snobbery.” That’s not logical.

The "fact that you are not interested in purses" isn't the part of your post that reveals pretty obvious reverse snobbery. [/quote]

I think OP is trying to be a reverse snob, but really just comes across as clueless. It’s fine to not be into $3k handbags just as it’s fine to not be into $100k paintings or $10k business class airplane seats or $1k bottles of wine or whatever luxury item you want to insert here. There are big markets for all these things and I think it is pretty obvious why they’re appealing.

I don’t participate in the luxury market for (paintings, wine, business class seats) because (1) these things are not in my budget naturally and (2) I’m not interested enough in them to reprioritize my spending to accommodate them. I’d rather spend the money on a nice bag. It’s kind of odd to be asking whether it’s unusual not to care about $3k bags. It’s personal preference. Many people do, even if not on DCUM, because these luxury brands are doing extremely well.[/quote]
