Anyone else feel somewhat embarrassed about LV?

[edsbgrl]

Was the store filled with vampires? Or Pennywise
Clowns?? I can’t imagine what else could fill me with those feelings

[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] I’m sorry. This was just funny!

I’m selective on where I carry certain bags. Like I wouldn’t go to help feed the homeless carrying anything that would make others feel bad.

Otherwise, I carry what I like. People who judge have the issue. Not the bag carrier. [emoji4]

You know what I am “embarrassed” about?

I was so mega embarrassed when I was flagged by border control at Heathrow airport baggage area. Before boarding the plane. The X ray machine had picked up a small deodorant bottle in my hardcase luggage. They wanted to check what it was.
My cabin luggage had 3 Louis bags all in their dustbags and packed out with air bags and my LV wallet was also in its dustbag. This luggage only had Louis bags inside. Like i didnt want to put in checked luggage just in case it gets lost. The security guy opened my case up. I was like oh crap!. I think he wanted to burst out in histerics but kept it in . My dustbag's were all lined up like I got OCD with LV logo all facing the same way. I was going bright red at this point. He had to take my bags out of dustbag one by one and all the air bags too until he found the small bottle of deodorant. I had forgotten i left it in the Favourite MM bag. . Meanwhile there's people looking at me. I'm just wanting the earth to swallow me up. And the hubby is laughing his head off. I already had to be frisked because the machine bleeped because I forgot to take my watch off. So so embarassing

Missydora, this cracked me up! XD

Well, it sounds like the lady specifically said she wanted to show off to the whole mall that she buys LV.
The SA was hacked off because she had to go to more trouble than she thinks the sale of one of the cheapest things you can get from LV is worth.
Tasteless of the SA to make a comment on the floor about it. Tasteless of the customer to state her intention out loud.

But it doesn’t really hurt anyone directly...SA made a sale, LVMH is big enough to hand one social climber some extra bag, and obviously it makes the customer feel better about her life.
LV has been content in the past to encourage people to feel this way. You NEED this logo and NEED others to see it on you.
Sadly the marketers have all succeeded, resulting in a culture of my-logo-cost-a-boodle-here-let-me-stick-it-in-your-face.

Only there are plenty who,well, the only piece of that dream they can afford is a cles. Dress it up so I can play dress up. I’ll wager she brings that bag back to the mall other days and hikes around with it.
It’s a crutch people use to soothe themselves.
Other than that’s incredibly sad, it’s better than many alternatives I guess.
The salesperson could have more training, but man, there’s some at my boutique too. Once in awhile you see one you would assume was placed there by Arnault himself if the size of their attitude is any indication.
Fortunately most are normal, level people and most customers are too. But hey, not everyone.

I don’t know that it’s necessary for anyone to get upset hearing that such things happen.

Dooneysta, if you ever come to Brazil, please let’s have a coffee. You seem to be the most reasonable person I’ve ever seen on this forum!

LOL speak that truth. I've been reading in this thread for a couple of days now and I was like this the entire time.

That’s a great piece!
I saw a DE version with...don’t remember what they called the interior but it was like a chartreuse/yellow...didn’t buy because I was there for whatever else but should have...

Yes, that would be fantastic monogram with the yellow interior

Hope so!! I’m not much for beaches but I would love to see the Iguazu falls...though I guess I might have to sidestep to Argentina to see the full show of the Falls! My spouse loves sea turtles so visiting the turtle rescue/conservation center of Ubatuba would be glorious.
Brazil is certainly one of the most beautiful places on the earth.

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.

She’s utterly gorgeous, Irinka! [emoji7] I’d have her in a heartbeat and carry her with pride!

This woman walks into an LV boutique. Please note the internet-famous "Can I speak to the manager?" haircut.


"Hi, I would like to purchase a Pochette clés but I would like a dustbag, box, and shopping bag for a Pégase 55. Also, I would like the latest issue of The Book, a plate of Ladurée, and a glass of Champagne. ... You know what'd be great? An extra dustbag for an old Speedy I bought on eBay (which I think LV should repair for free). And please, don't forget to invite me to your LV Holiday Party. One more thing, I feel like I should get a VIP gift. Thanks!"

Here is how the SA should respond:

Ubatuba is a city in the state where I live in now! I didn’t know they had a conservation center for turtles. How cool!!
I’m also not a huge beach lover, even though I used to live in Rio de Janeiro and people LOVE going to the beach there. But now that I live in a beachless city, I kinda miss it. Lol

Even on Amazon you can receive fake stuff. Some brands are better to be bought in a flagship store

That’s the exact reason why I’m super fearful of buying a Chanel flap on the preloved market. We don’t have a strong culture of buying preloved in my country and only one consignment shop that I know of authenticates the items they sell, but their prices are usually very high, so I just don’t find it worth it.

But like, why would anyone get luxury handbags from Amazon? It's like going to a prostitute for a hug.

Probably because they can’t afford it otherwise.
(I don’t know if you wanted to highlight Amazon or if you were talking about the preloved route in general )
