I agree with what a previous poster said: you always see this bag in the same design, that's what gets so redundant. MK watches are very popular, but there's so many different styles that you still feel as if yours is somewhat different. I pretty much see the monogram MM only, which makes it feel so tired. In my area, I personally have never seen the Epi NF.
You know what really drives me up the wall? When I see friends with the exact same bag. I don't know why adults insist on dressing like twins, it seems so juvenile.
What makes you think it was planned? I have one friend who is also a bag addict. We happen to have a couple of the same bags. We don't check with each other before getting together to make sure we're NOT carrying the same bag.
