What and how someone does with or carries their handbag is entirely up to them. For me, it is dependent on multiple variables, the size ratio between bag and said tag, shape of bag and tag, ease of removal if desired, if “it goes” with the bag theme or is obnoxius and disruptive to look, etc...Yeah for Pippa keeping it on and Woohoo for those removing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pippa-middleton-says-luggage-tag-on-handbag/page/3#post-1111306 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 00:01:09 +0000 minimalist 1111306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been surprised IRL by some people's reactions to logos on things I'd considered just utilitarian. Updated the Hunter boot post, because it's not about handbags.</p> <p>Some posts here have shown me just how inconsistently I apply my little no-free-advertising schtick. Looking at my Stanley travel mug now; the bottom is stamped "Built for Life®" but there's no way it's the same quality as the thermoses I grew up with. I bought the chord of nostalgia it struck. That's less rational than leaving a blingy tag on a handbag because it makes you happy, or because you just don't care, or whatever your (non)reasons might be. Guess I'm free and clear because in my current setting, a travel mug isn't a luxury item and Stanley is a proletarian brand? </p> <p>Interesting thoughts, all around. Thanks to all for jogging my awareness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pippa-middleton-says-luggage-tag-on-handbag/page/3#post-1111229 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 22:11:39 +0000 Mo 1111229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echo, I agree the point(s) have been made - many times over. &nbsp;And personal biases is what we are down to. &nbsp;Exiting stage left right behind you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pippa-middleton-says-luggage-tag-on-handbag/page/3#post-1111218 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 22:05:22 +0000 Echo 1111218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To assume that anyone carrying a certain brand is only carrying it to show that they spent a certain amount and/or to impress people is just that, though - an assumption. Perhaps that bag has the quality or construction or the aesthetic the person desires, just the same as the items you purchase present the image you want.</p> <p>But I will bow out of this thread. Things like this really show the biases people have. It is funny how it is okay for one person to have a logo showing because it isn't removable, but not okay for someone else to have left the hangtag on their bag. The only difference is that you know the intent behind what you do, and you assume the intent behind a stranger. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pippa-middleton-says-luggage-tag-on-handbag/page/3#post-1111170 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 21:11:36 +0000 Anonymous 1111170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"You gotta chase your joy."</p> <p>I agree!

I do have a D&amp;B bag that has the duck logo on it. Obviously, it can't be removed. I guess to me it's the bling and prominent display of certain logos that I don't like, as well as the reasons some people I know buy those brands. Maybe I over think it too much, but... </p> <p>As for the royal family, I'm on the other side of the pond, and don't particularly care what they wear.

This is obviously something I've given a lot of thought to, based on the people I've had to socialize with over the years due to my DH's job. They were not raised the way I was, and the culture is quite different, so I have never been able to relate to them. Keeping up with the Joneses (or the Kardashians, or anyone else) has never been my thing, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pippa-middleton-says-luggage-tag-on-handbag/page/3#post-1110726 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 14:07:10 +0000 MsMary 1110726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I give up, Ruth!&nbsp; I was trying to have a little fun with you but obviously we are not on the same wavelength!&nbsp; LOL&nbsp; As you said, no hard feelings!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pippa-middleton-says-luggage-tag-on-handbag/page/3#post-1110712 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 13:50:09 +0000 Anonymous 1110712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MaryK: I don't care if people think I'm cool or not, and I don't care to be a walking advertisement for the brands I buy, so whenever possible I prefer to either leave the tag off (if attachable) or remove the tag (if attached).</p> <p>I try not to judge people who wear the logos, so don't get me wrong. I<br /> just personally don't want to present myself to the world in that<br /> fashion. I prefer a more understated look.</p> <p>Maybe it's my way of counteracting the people I know who care about social status and impressing others. I think some of it is cultural, too. When we lived in Central America, virtually all the women I knew dressed very nicely (nothing wrong with that, mind you) but also made it a point to ask me and others how much we paid for things. At the time, my DH was fresh out of college and we were starting our family. We were saving as much $ as possible, so I wore clothing my mother lovingly made for me. I looked as good as they did, so no problem there, but I got tired of people asking me how much I paid for things. It really wasn't any of their business.</p> <p>It's the same in the country my DH is from (also Central America), so this is why I think it's cultural. Seems like all the women compete with each other. It's all about social status (not what you know, but who you know) and giving the appearance that you have more $ than you actually do.</p> <p>I buy what I like, and I'm certainly not a minimalist when it comes to my possessions. However, I went through some really hard times financially after my divorce in the early '80s, and know what it's like to scrimp, save, and do without. My ex abandoned me and our infant DD, and cleared out my bank account. For this reason, I'm probably more grounded, if that makes sense. I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth, and my parents were hard-working people who went through the Great Depression and taught me a thing or two about living within one's means and not showing off.</p> <p>No hard feelings towards anyone who disagrees with me. This is how I feel based on my life experiences. If I'm a reverse snob because of it, then so be it.</p> <p>:)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pippa-middleton-says-luggage-tag-on-handbag/page/3#post-1110330 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 01:51:55 +0000 ironkurtin 1110330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly I don't give much thought to how Pippa Middleton does things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pippa-middleton-says-luggage-tag-on-handbag/page/3#post-1110275 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 01:19:28 +0000 goldenpig 1110275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another one of those who doesn't care too much one way or the other about handbag logos (but then, I dare to wear peep toes and ballet flats in the winter!).
