I feel you! I agree that a lot of it is mainly rooted in jealousy. But human beings by nature tend to compare which I can understand too. And I get the need to be sensitive around certain friends/acquaintances - so most of my friends don’t know the extent of my Chanel collection.I wear only a subset of my bags out with family, so I do hide a majority of my bags with them. I don’t disclose my entire collection. One cousin mentioned that she had looked up my bag up and commented how much it was. I have had a few acquaintances (friends of friends) and also ex-coworkers comment about a Chanel bag I was wearing, somewhat negatively. But, I know it is mainly out of jealousy. I wear my bags out freely and openly when I go out out with non-family who don’t know me or whose judgement I really don’t care about or when I am with two other girlfriends who I know have a decent Chanel collection as well. Only a handful of people plus purseForum understand my designer bag obsession.
