Op here - Thank you!! I don’t like the bags with huge logos, just the small logo. Does this make a difference?

As someone who isn't into purses, I find the fact that we use them to signal status really fascinating. Like what . . . it's something you put your keys, phone, and tissues in. Sure, a cute one is fun, but who cares who made it?

That's not to say that I don't understand. Status signalling is built into our bones; we want to make sure we get our proper respect and don't get booted out of the tribe. It's just funny to someone who doesn't "get" purses.

Both are tacky if over 30. Good starter items otherwise if you can't afford LV, Gucci, Chloe, etc

This.

Just go with subtle.

Not tacky. But it screams MC who desires to wear a brand but can’t afford a flashier brand.

Coach is also in this category for me.

But Coach has been around a lot longer than TB (what does MJ stand for?). The older Coach bags can be classic. TB, with that huge logo, doesn’t say classic.

I don’t like anything with huge logos. The Marc Jacobs “the Tote Bag” is really stupid. Coach, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton bags with the huge letter logos/fabrics are tacky. But if you really like the shoe or bag, get it. It’s your money and your personal style. Dont worry about what I think.

??? Wha, how?

Yes Tory Burch is tacky.

And what about Marc jacobs? I feel like I’m a bit out of touch, but I like their handbags. Would love a DCUM reality check. Please tell me, am I tacky??
