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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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”[/quote]

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

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. [/quote]

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.  [/quote]
