Have any of you ever been too shy/embarrased to carry your LV bag?

I think most of us think people notice us WAY more than they actually do.

That reminds me of a quote I heard on Dr Phil (LOL, yes I admit it - I am guilty of watching at times!) years ago that stuck in my head:

"You wouldn't worry so much about what other people think of you if you realised how seldom they do."

I get embarassed or shy or self concious in front of a few different friends..

who always have to make.. comments and give backward glances.

I like nice things. I am not rich, but I save for things I want.. and I feel a little guilty or whatever.. when I have to hear judgements on my bags, jewelry etc.

I am usually so excited to be using one of my lovely LV's:yahoo: that I don't really worry about what other people think, I'm sure most people are too busy going about their business to be looking at my bag, wondering how much it cost etc.

I get wierd about carrying my LV's sometimes. I like to check out thrift stores and garage sales occasionally for unique art work/home decor. I never carry my LVs when I go. If I did it probably wouldn't matter---most people would probably just think its fake. But I don't like advertising that I can afford an LV when I am negotiating prices on art etc.

I work hard for my Louis Vuittons so I carry them every single day. I carry the damier patterns and I don't think anyone who isn't into Louis Vuitton themselves even knows what it is because we had a conversation about Louis Vuitton in my marketing class on no one paid attention to the fact I had one and it's a small class.

For those that do know it's Louis Vuitton, great. If they don't like it or judge me for it, it's their problem not mine. I love my bags and I will continue to carry them everyday.

I currently don't own any LV, because I'm generally not into monograms or many other LV styles for that matter. However, last summer I spotted a girl at Ikea with an LV Palermo GM:love:. It just had the loveliest patina and she looked so in love, on the arm of her boyfriend... I swear it could've been an ad about love and happiness.

To be honest, I only thought LV produced monogrammed speedies prior to that moment :shame:, how much I've learned since then. I was so in love and am currently looking for a specific LV monogrammed bag, but I have this fear that I might never wear it due to feeling too self-conscious, fake, and or obnoxiously opulent.

My Mono bag bothers me. I feel it can be too flashy at times, and might be an advertisement for thieves to follow me to my car.

Also with the bad economy, I feel especially uncomfortable carrying it. Hopefully that will change, I love my bag!

First of all, great topic!

Yes, I do get a little shy using my LV's. I'm only a student and I tend to feel ostentatious compared to my friends who still carry Coach. I'm the kind of person who likes to fly under the radar.

Drat, I can't remember if I posted here or not about this, but ..

I am not shy / embarrassed; for me it is more like being careful. I don't drive, so I do not feel comfortable all the time carrying my LV on the subway openly like that :sad:.

That's an eye-opening question. Never having experienced being shy or embarrassed to carry any of my LV items, it never dawned on me that others might. I don't really understand the emotion or why one would by something they would be embarrassed to use. Thanks for bringing the topic up.
