Thats horrible
Hard-earned money can be spent on whatever we like... What did you say? "did you want me to pay your mortgage?"
Anyone else feel somewhat embarrassed about LV?

Thats horrible
Hard-earned money can be spent on whatever we like... What did you say? "did you want me to pay your mortgage?"I sometimes feel selfconcious when aroud my friends that are students (Im in a full-time job). Especially feel stupid when Ive gone broke on a new bag and they dont understand why Id rather stock up on ramen noodles and pass up on all restaurant-dinners, clubbing et for the rest of the month.
I also sell my old bags to fund new ones. I wouldnt say I am embarrassed to carry them in public, but there are so many fakes out there that I do wonder what people say when I carry them in public. I had someone ask me how much I paid for my speedy and she started talking about knock offs. I said um, I got it at the LV boutique...I dont think she believed me...but as long as I know it is real is all that matters :0)
This thread made me lol-
Honestly honey IT'S YOUR BAG! YOU found something you liked YYOU payed for it and YOU like it. Is it really that important to you to think about and make everyone eltse "comfortable" ? I
This is about you - whom cares what others think ?
Make your self happy - be you
xxox

Yeah it feels a bit like a strange messed up pity party in here * looks both ways and struts out with my confidence and speedy forty on my arm*
Talk about dirty looks!!! This Sales assistant at a clothing store was staring at my bag the whole time I was standing near her. I felt very awkward.
i am very scare to use my LV with my friends. do not want anyone to say i rich, and stuff, very very very uncomfortable. and hate it when they ask for the price. no matter how much it is, as long as the bag is more than 50 bucks, they are asking for the price just to say :" u spend $XXX on just a hand bag?" and make sure everyone hears it.
if is just asking for the price because she wants it as well, then yes i do not mind.

yeah because my horizontal lockit is discontinued, i get a lot of dirty looks from it. some middle age lady look at my bag in anger. and kinda wanting to pull me out of the crowd because my bag is prob a fake. LOL
Yeah,it really depends on who i hang out with, if with friends i will carry my LV comfortably(coz they have their own designer bag too)
,
but when meeting my mother in law i wont wear it because she's much more richer than i and yet don't have any designer bag as she think it's a waste of money. So,i'll wear coach instead of LV or burberry.

Omg so uncomfortable lol I always feel weird taking it to the grocery store or anything like that which is sad cuz I looovveee that bag .... I don't know why people r like that... If I see someone driving a nicer car thatnway me I don't give them a dirty look, I just adore their car lol and make a mental note that one day I will get it hahah
Never embarrassed I work in a rough low income area. I dont think anyone notices or cares its a handbag. Thats it a purse. Not that big of a deal IMO.
"Embarrassed" seems like the wrong word to use in this context. Self-conscious might be more appropriate.
Yes, I have felt self-conscious at times. My fault for carrying LV when I probably shouldn't have, like garage sales. lol
Someone here (sorry, forgot who and in which thread) wondered if the economic situation had something to do with people not wanting to carry LV and I thought that was a pretty astute observation. Monogram is obvious, Damier, not so much. Even the leather lines aren't as obvious, even with the logo on them.
People can become bitter, or more so, when their financial situation puts them in a corner. I don't understand why they strike out at those who are not similarly affected, but that seems to be the case. So I think that does make a lot of people carrying or wearing luxury brands self-conscious.

I had that exact quote thrown my way by my neighbor who lives next door to my parents. I shrugged my shoulders at her. I didn't know what to say..I'm not going to apologize for spending my money on the things I enjoy. Don't try and guilt trip me.
