I personally do not like carrying any accessory that has their logos obnoxiously all over it. I have to pay to advertise their brand? Certainly from a marketing perspective it is a great way of branding. The bags I like are based on their design and quality...not status. Goes with the saying: If you've got, no need to flaunt it. Generally, the logo laden bags are the most knocked off and the fakes are quite popular amongst the masses.

Wow I've been reading through this thread here and there and it seems like a LOT of people hate/dislike/don't care for monogram/logo bags in general (LV in particular). Are they that bad?? (hides in corner)
I don't think they are "that bad", but they are definitely overdone and faked over and over and over and over...
I think this thread just proves that it's a good thing there are so many designers and styles because everyone has their own opinions and taste. I love looking at all the different textures and styles and materials, embellishments, logos, etc. and think it's wonderful that there is so many lovely bags out there. I totally understand brand loyalty too and even bag snobbery as there is nothing like the feel and ownership of something so luxurious and beautiful. But I think to call any brand "cheap" and "for the poor" is especially tacky and classless. 
I don't think that anyone here has bad taste. We're all unique but all share the same love of gorgeous style!

No offense to anyone, but I just *hate* anything LV. I can appreciate them (I know how much they cost!), but would never buy one. Everyone seems to own it!
YES!!!!!!!! Thank you! I'm not huge on Logos (though I'll make the exception for the occasional LV) It's one of the reasons I never sprang for a Michael Kors bag, and quickly passed up his Aquarius Boots post-christmas. But the LV cerises stuff? Please. That BEGS to be knocked off, doesn't it?
I always think the real LV stuff looks like it's fake anyway. Totally agree about the cherry stuff. Yuk.
wow i would hate to have grown up where you grew up thinking it is ok to say something on a forum full of people who love coach that it is "a designer bag for the poor" , POOR? they cost 100's of dollars for some people that is a lot of $$ and just because its not thousands of dollars does not mean those people are poor or "low class" and you sound like a really ignorant person saying something like that
its sad to me that there are people in this world who think that saying something like that is socially acceptable AT ALL, there are some things you say and some things you dont and that is disgusting!
no one in this entire post has said anything nasty about the PEOPLE who carry LV just that they dont like the bags but you are going way out there and commenting on the income and class of people carrying these bags and that makes me sick
i feel sorry for you,,,
