I’m surprised they obliged her silly request. At my boutique, they only give dustbags, boxes, and shopping bags to fit the item purchased.
Anyone else feel somewhat embarrassed about LV?

Yeah I’m pretty surprised too. Although with my boutique being in a tourist heavy mall I’m sure they get lots of odd requests...
But I can’t believe she just wanted the larger bag to show off and appear as though her purchase was larger than it was.
That doesn’t sound like a wealthy woman
I’m not new to LV but have built up a collection. Admittedly I would be aware when I took my bags to work, out, etc. then one I say it clicked. It’s MY bag. I bought It because it’s practical, I have the means, it’s what I want, so NO I won’t be conscientious. I really think this changed at the point I bought my Melie. Yes, most expensive bag in my collection New not consignment. Just be happy. They are great bags and will remain in style FOR A LONG TIME. Just use and love it.
Well, when I buy something at Hermes, I always ask to put it in a no branded bag. They have some white bags exactly for requests like this. If I buy a big watch, I put it on my wrist and the rest goes into my bag. You can't tell that I bought something. Sorry for the OT.
I’m ok with the recognisable print or people knowing I spent so much on them because, in the end I did spend a lot on my bags and that’s my business not theirs. I have a completely different reason for being embarrassed and it’s with only one bag. My Pochette Metis has the light vachetta on the handle and above the clasp. It’s one of my favourite grab and go bags. Because of a humid/rainy climate and because I wear a lot of hand cream (nightmarishly dry hands), over time, the vachetta darkened quite a bit. I don’t mind this one and actually like it but other LV owners (friends and even strangers sometimes) give my bag this “look”. Like: what have you done to it? Or what’s wrong with it? That makes me really self conscious.
But it’s loved and being used! Good for you; much better than it sitting in its dustbag, pristine and unworn! [emoji1303]
Do you have a photo? I bet she’s gorgeous!
I hope the lighting is ok.
The little tab doesn’t even stand up anymore. I blame that on a few bouts of torrential rain [emoji39]
Abused but loved.

Give the women her moment for goodness sake. Who the hell does it harm. The SA needs a hard slap for that attitude. Not everyone is fortunate enough to buy lots of LV or possibly any more than a cles.
It wasn’t the fact that she asked for a large bag...it was her demeanor. I guess you had to be there
Yeah I think my comment came across as confusing. I don’t think she was wealthy but the way she was acting toward the SA was very arrogant and the way she said “I want to show off that I can afford LV”...it was the tone of her voice which I suppose is impossible to convey in text
This SA was displaying qualities a lot of PF members frequently complain about. Again, she was doing no one any harm by asking for a larger bag. It is only a paper bag no matter the name on it.
I had a friend who visited Bloomingdales many years ago. She bought a pair of socks and asked for a large bag as she was so chuffed to buy from the store, no matter the size of the purchase. The SA was only too happy to oblige. Should she be castigated for this and slagged off on a forum? Hell no.

I don't believe this for a minute.
Well that’s fine. I think if you read my recent posts...I am not a mean person. I was simply stating a situation that I witnessed recently. So if you don’t believe me that is your right. I even asked for a small additional bag for my wallet and other items when I was in the boutique as I was exchanging a bag and didn’t want to put my items in and use it until I returned home and after putting my organizer in. I just feel like there is a nice way to ask for something and an entitled way.
So, sorry if I offended you in some way as it was not my intention.
