I lurk in this thread on occasion, like many I’m a bit addicted to Covert, like you I like to be under the radar with my bags. The Birkin is recognized partly because of the Kardashian clan and their TV show, never hurts to be alert in public.I didn’t get any negative vibes from her....it was more just a matter of recognition. But it was busy so we didn’t have much of a conversation. She’s always nice. I’ve noticed that when I’m in a store that caters to riders, there’s usually sort of a camaraderie in there. It was just unexpected...so I wasn’t prepared for it.
