ok, so we had the "my co-workers thinks my Birkins are plain" thread, but what about family members and other close ones?
my mother, as much as she is fashionable and loves designer things [she loves Chanel tweed and Roger Vivier shoes and Comme Des Garcons], just does NOT like my Birkin. in fact, when she first saw it i said,
"isnt the leather amazing??"
and she said, "sure- it's pigskin, right?"
ush:
i said, "nooooo....it's Clemence!" and she shrugged in a, "whatever" manner. i said "isn't it gorgeous!?"
she said, "yeah, not my style."
"doesn't it just look rich?"
"yes. but it's just not me"
when i wore it open around her she would say, "oh, ella, the bag looks so cheap that way. like you are some kind of homeless lady."
ush:ush:ush:
"mother, many people wear their bag this way- it is easier to get in and out of."
"well, it looks silly. i think it makes the bag look worse."
so, out of curiousity, i close it and ask her what she thinks now.
"better. but still, just not my style."
(who asked you!??
)
so, i guess i'm not lucky as some of you are to inherit an amazing H collection from my mother.
i should also tell you that one of my best friends was DYING to see what bag i spent 5 figures on. upon seeing it he said, "well, it's plain. smells like the inside of my BMW, though. cute"

The first time I pulled mine out to go with my mom to the grocery store she said "Why are you bringing your overnight bag"
