What do you do for living? Do you get to enjoy wearing your LV handbags to work

I’ve told this story before, but it’s funny what people notice (or don’t). I rotate bags at work, I own mostly LV, and the time I wore my Birkin my coworker was like “wow you’re not wearing a designer bag today!” That’ll always crack me up.

This reminds me of the time I wore a vintage Gucci Ophidia crossbody and my coworker asked me if it was a new Dooney & Bourke :confused1:
 
I’m a RN and my tiny locker hardly fits my essentials. People are also extremely judgmental where I work so I usually just bring a tiny Vera Bradley crossbody because it’s washable and no one bats an eye lash. Sadly theft is also an issue with such a high amount of staff . Honestly I debate sometimes getting rid of my collection because they seldom see the light of day anymore.
 
I work in accounting department and seems like most are a bit judgmental about lux items so I only wear ebene and azur bags since most don't recognize them. I wear monogram on the weekends. Even if I decide to carry other brands, I always at least have my slgs :)
 
I'm an Account Manager for a pretty big company in the U.S. Besides myself, there are three other women I see on a regular basis. My boss loves bags, specifically MK, Kate Spade and Coach but says she would never buy one at full price. The other two are indifferent towards bags and think fashion is frivolous.

I don't think they'd say anything rude to me (we have a pretty good relationship) if I did bring my LV or Gucci in, but I still prefer wearing Coach, Tory Burch or Balenciaga (which they don't recognize) to work to avoid the judgment.
 
I’m on the management team of a med tech startup in California. I commute from Texas, or at least I used to before the pandemic. I always take my bags to work. I usually take a GM NF and a smaller bag/bag(s) inside or MM NF + smaller bag/bag(s) inside an extra large longchamp tote on the plane. I get separation anxiety from my bags when I travel so I try to shove as many as I can into my “personal item” :biggrin: so I can rotate. I dread packing because it’s torture deciding which bags get to come and figuring out how I can all squeeze them in without checking a bag ;). I get the occasional coworker comment, but don’t care.
