you know what i love about tPFers?
reading about your experiences, made me realise how gracious and nice you all are. :)

i've only been a member for a couple weeks and no, i do not own any high-end designer bag yet (ordering on tuesday, though :D HEHEH). i'm only 19, so yeah... there's plenty of time left to build my collection. however, last year, i went on a trip with my class. it was a trip to rome and if i remember correctly it was on the flight back when one of my class mates actually asked me,"what was the price of the most expensive bag you ever got?" i didn't know what to say, since i didn't even own any expensive bags back then.

he always criticised me for wearing high heels and elegant clothes (again, NO designer clothes in sight, it was just the way i dressed that made him think i wore expensive pieces). he thought i was spoiled (i never ask my parents for money and i work hard for my OWN money) and spent my entire day in front of the mirror dancing to madonna's "material girl" with a feather boa.

I forgot about it, but when my friend and me went shopping in NYC about a month ago, she got yelled at by someone on Prince St.

We were walking towards the Miu Miu boutique, and there were crowds of people trying to sell their rap CDs. I hate people getting in my face. We politely told one man to back off, and no we don't want his CD. He slaps my friends LV Speedy (she got it that day!) with his CD and barks, "What degree do you have?" Implying my friend was just a "dumb rich girl" because she was carrying an LV, which she is not. That was the first expensive purse she's ever bought!

I don't need to explain my purchases to someone on the street or inform them of the college I'm attending, but I wish I or my friend had said something incredibly snarky back at him. Instead we just moved on.

She should have replied with a sweet tone of voice and a smile, "I have a degree in class."

I live in Oregon, which is a little behind the times -- even college towns !! I carry mostly Tano and Hayden Harnett - because I absolutely love the squishy leather. When I get a comment about how unusual or "different" my bags are, I know that they are being admired - but never appreciated.
At least I know that I will not be carrying a bag that I will see on every street corner.

Or the equally rude 'wow, fakes are so good these days'

and if you do say 'no it is actually real' you get a look of either 'yeah right' or the disgusted look of someone wondering why you would spend that much on just another bag

I haven't gotten very many insults, but a few come to mind:

- Once a cashier at Target commented that she wished she didn't have such expensive taste in purses. She said wished she could be satisfied with "generic" bags like the one I was carrying, an Hermes Garden Party. She wasn't trying to be mean, her wording just came out wrong.

- I've had people say things like, "It must be nice to be able to afford that". It's sad that some people try to make you feel guilty for having luxury items.

I hate when people assume my bags are fake. I don't have a lot of money but I would never buy or wear a fake bag! I save and splurge! Ughhh I hate fakes!! I will admit I buy a lot of my clothing and shoes on sale but I would never wear a fake!

once, i entered to a stall selling bags,
then there was this lady wanted to buy a FAKE LV, she was bargaining the price with the girl who selling it.when i entered the stall,the lady looked at my hampstead and ask me,how much i get for it?she thought that it was a FAKE...@@
I told her it was real,and kinda mad at that time.
the girl refused to give the woman the price she wanted to get,infront of me, the woman threw a little money to the girl,snatched the bag and wanted to go off.the girl pulled the handle of the fake lv and the woman on the other side pulling another end of that bag.I've never seen someone like this in my whole life before,that woman didnt even feel shame at all to do that in public.
i can really felt how hard she wanted to own a LVoe at that moment...

I hate that too. I think one day it won't bother me at all when people assume my bags are fake but I'm not at that point in my life yet and I admit that lol

I got an insult/compliment the other day. My friend told me: "I like your bag, is it new? I usually don't like Balenciaga because it looks cheap but this one looks different."

:push: :nogood:

Most of my other Balenciaga bags have silver hardware, this one had rose gold hardware. I thanked her for her insultiment anyway (insultiment: an insulting compliment). It doesn't matter what she thinks of them. I love them and that's what counts! :love:
