Do you wear your designer bag to work/interviews?

[Luv n bags]

Absolutely!

 

[pro_shopper]

I carry a designer handbag because I only have designer handbags in my collection. However, I would choose something more subtle, nothing monogram or flashy. I wouldn't want the interviwer to judge me based on the bag that i'm carrying!

I think designer is fine but I also vote for understated.

I agree with you. Still, sometimes you can go for a "low key" designer bag -meaning no logos or big plates with the name on it-.

 

[BgaHolic]

This is such an interesting question! I agree with the consensus! A designer bag is fine as long as it's not screaming out logos because it is you that you have to sell not your outfit or your bag. Believe it or not wearing a Hermes Birkin bag to an interview for lets say a design firm, can be intimidating to the higher ups if they don't own one so it is always safest to wear "low key" on an interview. Good luck!

I think it's fine if it's appropriate.. I agree with what everyone said, no monogrammed bags! I also think that the color matters, no flashy colors!

Depends on what type of industry... I think a regular Coach is ok but not the high-end brands. Better to be conservative.

I'm so glad I found this thread. I'm looking at getting a new bag specifically for job interviews and I was looking at an LV. There are some other great suggestions here so thanks everyone! I never thought of worrying whether someone would think my bag was too flashy or showy (like the LV Mono) so it's definitely something I'm going to consider now!

So should I bring my Prada tote to work as I work as a journalist?

I do most of the time, but the past few days, for example, have been such bad weather I didn't want to take an expensive bag out into the elements. Both of my MBMJs that I would consider are all black, and only one has a small placard that even says the designer's name, so most people probably don't even notice. I do bring a designer wallet all the time, but it is in whatever purse and also not heavily logo-ed that if I wanted to just run to the store with it everyone would know what it was.

 

[IrisCole]

I take mine.

I do bring my bags to work though usually don't use my LV mono bag. Not many woman here use designer bags and I feel like I'm being snooty, lol
They do know I have a fendi spy and prada bag but probably don't know what balenciaga is. I just self-conscious a little though I know I shouldn't.

I take my bags to work, including my LV. Most of my co-workers have no idea anyway and don't pay attention to stuff like that.

I'm a grad student at a prestigious university and I do not carry anything more expensive than Coach when I'm at school.

I do wear designer bags to work, nobody cares The most important thing is that you have to feel comfortable with what you wear, including bags, to work, or anywhere else for that matter
