Hello everyone. Ugh. Its midnight over here and before I go to bed I just wanna het these negative ramblings off my chest.
So I somehow stumbled upon youtube channels/ instagram accounts from people who collect hundreds of Louis, Chanels, Celines, etc. But they act snobbish, rude and disrespectful to non-lux lifestylers which is just so offensive!
I myself have loved LV since I was a little girl due to childhood memories. And I'm sure you fellow LoVers feel the same way. But these superficial humans who just buy a louis cos its expensive and will make a good new instagram pic really irritate me atm. Idk why!
Usually I'm all about "do you" and "live and let live" but rn i am just so appalled at how some people carry themselves and then even end up getting praised for their poor behaviour.
I really feel at.home in the bag community and it saddens me that such bad seeds are making me question my passion for handbags!
Ughh just wanned to get that out there. Now I can sleep in peace! Haha xxx

It really puts me off when people that buy luxury brands put down contemporary brands or the people that buy contemporary brands. It says more about the person than the brand they are bashing.

Only insecure people need validation from others. I buy what I can afford (which isn't even contemporary designers sometimes!) and could care less if some Beverly Hills Housewife wannabe thinks it's not good enough!

I know someone and they just have to not only state the brand of what they are wearing just incase you don't recognize it but they also have to tell how expensive it was:throwup:

I fully admit: I am not a member of Instagram (or whatever one is called when one has an account). So maybe I missed that memo! 😃

The only experience that I have with the website was with my bestie's brother's escapades on rich kids of instagram when he was in his early teens. Thankfully he is past that now. :nuke:

I guess I give people the benefit of the doubt, how can you tell between excitement and showing off to look better than others?

There are some obvious ones that bash other people/brands, or wave the price around.

Lol, I wonder if I'm being bad on instagram.

Hi!! I'm on Instagram and take photos of my bags and luxury items. I do not do it to "brag" but rather to share my love for fashion. It's actually a really amazing community (a lot of them on tpf). Some people may use it as a way to brag but I actually view it as a way to connect and make others happy. I'm sorry if this offends you but I don't think it's fair to group all of us into this category. I love using hashtags to see how bags, shoes, scarves, etc... Look on others. Its a fun community. I work hard for my money and am excited to share my purchases with other like minded people. It's very similar to tpf. Once again please don't refer to us all as "superficial humans" because if you took a deeper look you'd see that it's about more than "keeping up with the Jonses."

My english is not perfect so Sorry if I make some mistakes. I totally agree with you. When I buy a lv or another brand it is only because I love and use it everyday . Do not have instagram or Twitter.. i love my purses because I Just love them and use them everyday.

But I wanted to tell you that I was laughing in reading your comment. You seemed very angry . And I know that American People are more polite, peace or calm than French People lol so it is nice to see that you can be angry too . Hahahahah . Good thing.
Wish you a great evening :-)

I can understand OP frustration. I sometime feel the same way with certain instagrammers and youtubers. But sometime, it can appear bragging when it not. Because that their instagram/youtube theme focus is...showcasing luxury possesion.

TBH... no matter what social media were on. Someone is going to show how vain/self conceited they are. :p
