You know, I haven't seen as many here in NYC, I did see one 25. and two people had the 30, but that has been sporadic. They still keep staring, though!
Eh who knows. I honestly doubt it though because it doesn't have obvious logos like the mono does. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but in my experience, most people who only plan on buying one LV buy a monogram one. That and they're good bags to start out with.
But yeah, I really don't think they will.
And I also agree, if it makes YOU feel good carrying it, that's all that matters. What others carry shouldn't dictate what you carry
