Do you get better service when you carry more expensive bags?

Difficult question, Antigone.
When I visit high end boutiques, I never carry a designer bag. As I know I will spend hours walking around, I take out one of my lightest weight bags, a Longchamp Le Pliage.
I don't think it changes anything.
That being said one of my friends told me that she gets a more friendly welcome when she carries her YSL tote.

I forgot to mention I carried a Balenciaga City bag and I went to a Balenciaga boutique.
But last week, I went to a high-end shop (which carries Balenciaga, LV, etc) and I had on my Kathmandu backpack, shorts, t-shirt and sandals and the SAs just stood where they were and didn't even greet us when we came in. lol.

I always seem to get better service.

Lol! That’s the problem with Hermès, unless u live in an area where folks are knowledgeable about them, no one notices!
I think it depends on what store you go to. Like if you're going to the supermarket, no one cares. But if you're walking into Saks, I think it matters.
Happened to me as well, but it might be the entire outfit or the way I presented myself, not sure if it is solely because of the designer bag.
None of these works for Chanel SAs though. Next time I'll try carrying a Dior instead of LV and see if there is any improvement

Not really. A little better when I’m carrying a Chanel. I think that I probably ruin my look when they get to my shoes. I have a thing for Chuck Taylors. What can I say...Chanel and Chuck Taylor are a perfect mix!
I do find, however, that I get really good service at the Michael Kors boutiques if I’m carrying one of their pricier handbags.

Last Christmas I went to NM to buy a Gucci treat for myself and could get NO ONE to wait on my husband or me. I actually spoke to the manager to complain.
Then I went to LV.
Perfect!
