Okay, I wasn't sure where to put this as it is about handbags, but not a particular style, more about people's responses.
I work in a small office (~15-20 people) and I have my own private office. Everyday I bring my purse to work and leave it on a chair in my office. I've never worried about theft, (that may not be smart.) so it there for people to see when they pass by. (I like to see my purse, and my natural reaction is to toss in the spare chair when I enter the door.
Well, a few months after I started at this job one of the women I worked with commented that I had a lot of purses stating that she always saw a different purse on my chair. I didn't think anything of it at the time. But now the workplace is so catty and I wonder if having my purses especially designer purses in plain sight added to the cattieness towards me. (the woman who made the comment has coach purses herself and I have seen her with different styles.) Another co-worker, has LV and Prada, but she never talks about her purses and keeps them in a drawer. She is pretty well-to-do because of her husband's work and family background.
For some reason though, as a single woman, I got a lot of flack from (some of) the staff on my purse spending habits. I don't spend my money on anything else and in fact I drive a 16 year old car, so if that is my choice, why are they so upset?
Anyway, I am starting a new job and reconsidering, what purse to carry to work and (given my new job I know I will be more careful about keeping my purse out of sight).
Do any of your purse lovers, worry about what purse to carry to work because of how others will respond or have you gotten flack from others about your purse?
