Wow, people can be so mean!! I have had a person or two who know bags in my social circle go "wow!! You have a Chloe!?! I want that bag!!!". They were never mean to my face, I just answered the truth: I got it on sale (******) and I never buy jewelry, or get expensive gifts from my hubby so this is my anniversary/Christmas/birthday, etc. gift. That usually works. But it is the truth - I love bags! Some people spend $$ on diamonds, trips, etc. I feel I will get more pleasure & use out of a nice handbag. They simply make me happy!!
Oh god! I know her type. It was my boss in my previous job. And the funny thing is she had a lot more money than I did!
Once, my mother and I went to a restaurant after a shopping day and there was this couple seated next to us. They both looked at me and our shopping bags (they were from chanel and hermes) and then the guy said "god thanks you're not such a spoiled brat". My mom and I gave him the "excuse me?!"-look and he looked away immediately lol. He must've thought we wouldn't hear it.
I actually feel sorry for the girl as she probably would never get anything fancy from that guy.
This wasn't pointed directly for me but I heard my co-workers talking about Louis Vuitton. One of them stated out loud how LV products are ridiculous and normal people can't afford them and so on. Her locker room closet (is that how its said?) is next to mine so I suppose she knows I'm a LVgirl...
Soon after I saw her wearing a fake Prada bag.

Let me sit next to you so that we can roll our eye together. I dislike this kind of people.
that is so sad!! yup, I can't believe that an alma will cause that right?
for me, my female colleague is pretty ignorant about brands and will ask weird questions about stuff I use haha
Sometimes she will also just look but not say anything.
I had what I took as an insult recently. An aquaintence asked if my bag was vintage. Didn't compliment me on it. I said yes it's from around 2005 and the leather is distressed. Basically I took it as her commenting "I notice your bag is old"
She is no fashionista. An attractive woman but not high fashion or particularly hip, doesn't carry designer bags. Maybe she just wasn't thinking how her comment would be taken.

I my culture asking about a price of anything is absolutely inappropriate, it’s considered very low class to discuss prices. Only if it’s a very very very very close person.
Not a direct insult to my bag, but after I bought the Alma BB from the LV x YK collab, a good friend of mine who went with me and was equally excited (she loves pampering herself, too), told her new partner about your lovely day including our nice lunch and he commented: who pays so much for a bag - she should try raising kids.
That was both very insulting for me as well as for my good friend, as he basically says we are spoiled and then even did not think about that I probably wish so much to have kids but can‘t - same for her, she just indulges more into face treatments and travel luxuries. Must be even a more harder punch for her than for me as she wants a kid (has none), but he has already two. That was his choice. We earn well, and both work hard for it, so it is our choice to spend the money as we like.
I find this kind of judgement so hurting. People should not judge if they don‘t know the whole story. Also I can‘t understand, why people still ask middle aged women about kids. If they have none, it is obviously because they don‘t want any or can‘t have one because of whatever reason. Why poking into such a potential wound?
