[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, this is precisely why I steer clear of obvious logos and recognizable designs with handbags. Like I really like a number of Chloe bags, but they are instantly recognizable and I know that it would "say" something about me that has nothing to do with my affection for the design.

I carry an old suede Bottega tote in a butterfly stamped print (love the intrecciato but again, too recognizable). People ask me all the time where I got it (consignment) and I love that it's obviously a beautiful, high quality bag but most people can't place it. So they just associate it with me and not the brand.

Clare V. is also great for [b]this. I also used to really want a Mulberry bag in part because no one in the US carried them and people didn't really recognize them. But I think that's changed, plus I no longer want something that structured[/b].

I don't like the idea of spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on a bag so that people can be like "Oh, you're one of those." Even if it's sort of a positive image. This is the problem with prominent brands. When I spend $$$ on my appearance, I want to get all the credit myself. Not some fashion brand.[/quote]

I have a few Mulberry bags - I dearly love the old scotch grain.  A lot of their newer stuff feels knock-offy and I’m boring and not at all fashionable, so I just keep using my beat up old bags because I’m paralyzed with indecision about all the implications of something new.[/quote]

I feel like Mulberry is now peddled by US "preppy" bloggers plus most aren't make in England anymore.  No thanks.  They were probably great 30 yrs ago.  [/quote]
