Im guessing you don't have daughters? When a girl gets in a group, they're pretty stupid. You'll see the kindest most polite girl turn into some kind of beast when even one or especially two or more girls accompany. Plus, when my daughter was about five, she found the word "Gucci" hilarious and would repeat it over and over and say "Gucci shoes", "Gucci bag" just to say the word . I don't think iiwoukd have confronted them or the adult, why bother, and it may give them some sort of validation or ego boost and even the adult may have issues and defended them. We live in Dubai so basically only notice if somebody isn't wearing a brand and my girls knew them before eleven .but please don't be too upset, it's just immature .
Heckled by pre-adolescents for carrying my Gucci...

I hate it when this happens. It cheapens such a nice quality brand.
There was a popular song by Kraeyshawn and another by Gucci Mane and yet another by Lil Pump about the brand or referencing bags. Were the girls Punjabi? Because there is also an Indian Punjab artist with a song called Gucci right now. Gucci is having a massive comeback this year because of the hip hop industry making references to it. I used to call Louis Vuitton, “Louis’s Vagina” when I was a kid and hating on girls that had them. Then again I was poor and now I own three and celebrate other people’s purchases here. Kids express emotions in a sophomoric manner and have gang mentalities in groups and will say just about anything when they’re together. My point is don’t worry about it and enjoy your fabulous style. Maybe even shrug your shoulder and pout your lips like Brigette Bardot if it ever happens again. I as an adult would have told the kids under my care to shut the hell up.

I wonder if they were riffing off of the rap song "Gucci Gang", where they repeat Gucci Gang like 800 times. I hope they haven't it heard at their age because it is vile, but i guess anything goes these days. (Jeeze that made me sound old. Pardon me while I hobble off to my corner while clutching my pearls)
Maybe they were playing a modern version of "punch buggy" with lux brands? Does anyone else remember this game? lol 
That is a funny thought!Maybe they were playing a modern version of "punch buggy" with lux brands? Does anyone else remember this game? lol
I guess I am already in that corner because I don’t know any of these songs or musicians you all are referring to!
IA that song is vile but it's so catchy. When I saw this thread, the chorus immediately popped into my head.

What galls me more about these types of situations is the oblivious parents. When I rode public transportation, I had some kid shine a laser pointer directly in my eye while waiting at a stop. My husband noticed it and said something to the mother who was sitting right there. The mother acted like it wasn't a big deal despite his curt explanation that those lasers can cause permanent damage to the eyes. He also explained that I had a medical condition that caused me to be photosensitive. That didn't phase the mother either. She was as dumb about the whole thing as the kid.
Exactly. Personally I don't respond to people like this, even kids. But a quick thank you and full smile would have caused them to pause. I'm sorry to hear you had to go through this....civility is a lost art these days...but there kids so there's hope

As someone else said, just be thankful they didn't decide to attack you for the bag or follow you and taunt you further. I knew what a Chanel was by maybe 7 or 8? Children see these things on tv, in magazines, and on celebs too often not to know what they are. You aren't around tween kids too often I bet, because this is VERY normal stuff.. they get into bunches - boys and girls - and start yelling stupid stuff at people, and it can be at seniors, homeless, other kids, you name it. You can't know for sure who that adult was, maybe it wasn't even a parent, maybe they were just in the vicinity and not with the group. They didn't actually do anything anyway for you to talk to an adult about, except maybe cause some momentary embarrassment.
They are what is referred to as “basics” by their fellow classmates. Rude, condescending, self-centered, followers with parents who acts like their friends instead of being their parents. Privileged and privy to designers labels because the constant exposure to social media, mainstream music, name dropping and shopping. The more reaction they get out of you, the more excited they get. Best to ignore them and pretend they don’t exist in your world.
I recognized quite a few designer items at that age. Definitely Chanel flap bags (the 2.55 variant included) and Hermès Kelly. LV prints. Probably some Gucci.
But I wouldn’t have commented for sure.
