[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I clearly did touch a nerve. Predictably I suppose.

I want to clarify that what I find odd is not that there are SOME wealthy families who send their kids to public school, but that there’s a particular obsession at some public schools with being flashy.  YSL handbags are like the least expensive designer handbags you can buy - but people buy them in part because they scream “I’m expensive” even to those who know nothing about handbags. And I guess I don’t understand that mentality - wanting to look expensive to strangers - when MOST of those women are not super wealthy. And most wealthy women I know don’t carry an entry-level YSL logo handbag.

Anyway, i don’t really understand what it is I’m getting at, but this thread is helping me realize it’s less about school choice and more about displays of wealth and their meaning that I find confusing, and interesting, particularly in certain subcultures (where half the moms carry the same handbag).[/quote]

I’m loving the term “entry-level handbag” the OP is so new money it makes my head hurt. [/quote]

I personally like Chanel. I don’t care what bags other people carry. There are some cute coach or Michael kors bags. I like ysl heels. They are my most comfortable high heels. I don’t wear high heels often but may wear them to a party occasionally. Hope my ysl shoes don’t  bother Op the way ysl bags do.[/quote]
