being out and about and seeing someone else carrying one of your other treasured handbags that is not on your arm at the moment? Do you know what I mean? Like you leave the house with a Balenciaga bag and you're at a restaurant and there is someone carrying the Vuitton Theda ( that's at home in your closet) and you feel like darn, I wish I could bond with that woman and be carrying my Theda too! I know this might seem silly but when you have a lot of great bags does this feeling ever happen to you too?
 
I don't really have any friends who carry and love designer bags as much as I do. So whenever I do see someone with a bag I love/have, then I do wish I had a friend with whom to bond over admiring handbags. But because most of these people I see are way older than me, I rarely have thought about wanting to bond with "that woman."
 
hehehe, it totally does happen - when i take twiggy out for a walk i see, lots of Speedy 30's and then i think, "crap should of taken mine out" i like doing the whole eyeing up the bag thing "is that fake?" hehehehehe!
 
You're not alone! I usually say " that b**ch has the bag I want!" :lol: NOt out loud of course. :biggrin: It's worse if your friend or a family member states that they don't like a particular bag you've been wanting, buys it and says " I know I said I didn't like it at first but it grew on me!" *Ugh*
 
I saw a woman w/ my Balenciaga city at Nordstrom, except hers was orange and older. I was so delighted that I went up to her and said "we're twins!", but she just smiled uncomfortably and didn't say anything. :sad:

I felt so bad, do people not like it when you do that?

maybe it was a fake and she thought you were calling her on it?

or maybe she was just uptight. once when I was at work a customer had the same sweater I was wearing, so I said 'goodbye, sweater twin; when she left. I thought it was hilarious, she didn't look that thrilled though.
 
i actually don't like when friends have the same bag as i do. and if i'm wearing a bag and i see another woman out with the same one, it drives me absolutely crazy. i mean, i know i'm not the only one that owns that bag, but i like to think i am.
