Definitely wear your bags! You paid for them and that’s your style. Never hide who you are. You’ll find the right one that will respect your style and choices.
Why is the assumption automatically that you’re spending your money on the bags? Most of my Chanel’s were gifts from exes. I’d be fine wearing them so men know what kind of birthday presents/anni gifts I like lol
My hubby wasn't into brands at all...until I bought him an LV wallet 
now he wants the designer track suits and shoes etc.

In general, people tend to associate designer goods with being high maintenance and spoiled. The way I see it, I’d rather the guy know now and see how he handles it. If he makes a big deal about CHANEL now, don’t you think he will make a big deal later down the road (ie marriage)? Ie arguments about “why did u spend $7k on a chanel” etc.
Also, it’s MY money. I will spend it how I see fit. Plus, I jokingly educate about how my chanels “make” money. No other used good can sell for more than what you paid besides CHANEL, H or some LVs. Once they see I’m getting a good value, they become supportive haha [emoji38]

Thats true, why hide the luxury bag items away one day they will come out. Rather see their reactions sooner rather than later.

Exactly. Plus if he judges you based on ONE “negative” quality, he probably wasn’t a high value man to begin with!
It's probably more about how you style the Chanel. If you wear it with other logos mixing and matching, it might come off as superficial. If you wear your Chanel with an outfit that doesn't scream "expensive" regardless if it is or not, you might feel better and not come off as fake or vain. But whatever you do, definitely wear the Chanel!!
I would not wear an expensive bag on first couple dates for various reasons. Once I feel comfortable, then for sure I’m taking out my beauties) For me personally there are not enough occasions to wear my bags, as I just can’t bring myself to wear them to work or school due to insane (at least for me) price tags. Once I took out my LV agenda from $70 backpack at school and you guys should see the look professor gave me. Oh boy... Although I agree with previous posts about your partner accepting you for who you are, but you never know how he/she will react. And I’m not referring to envy, some people just don’t get the thrill and might mistakenly assume that you are a show-off. We are blessed with opportunity to have a little extra, however let’s not forget that a lot of people are not that lucky, even despite working their *ss off to provide for their families worldwide. So, with that all being said, if you feel comfortable and confident, I don’t see why you should not wear the items you like.

second date I wore a Chanel classic flap and he says I look nice and have a nice bag. I asked if he knew what it was and he was so proud to say "it's an LV." I asked him if he knew what it might cost and he was in the range of $50.
it took me a whole minute to calm down
in college, I think Hermes bags were about 4K (Not sure bc I only had a few silks). I do know chanel bags were around 1K and a bit Higher. the mini Chanel bag on a belt was 750 usd bc my mom gave me one. I bought my boyfriend, now DH, an Hermes tie for his birthday. He realized how much I loved the silks and saved up to buy me my favorite astrologie. When we got engaged, he tied the ring to an H scarf, and I was so excited about the scarf, I didn’t notice the ring . and, when we could afford it, he was excited to take me on my first shopping trip to chanel RTW (It was his idea bc he wanted to know what made it special besides the brand name) DH loves the craft of things; the artistry and the workmanship. We’ve tried Hermes for him and bc of the way he’s built, the RTW and shoes don’t work, so I got him a 42 briefcase at one of the big sample sales long ago and a wallet. the former is too heavy and the latter is discontinued. . . So, we learned to appreciate stuff like that together. . . But we also never bought things we couldn’t afford. So yes, I did wear an expensive bag when we went on our first date and we will celebrate our thirtieth anniversary next year.
