Opinions please! Ignore my outfit I'm aware it doesn't match lol but considering this bag - if I get it I would wear with simplistic outfits but what do you think?

DH thinks it's disgusting (not the design but the print because of its connotations) but want to know if he's outnumbered or not!

Chav, tacky, screams look at me etc....

Does your OH not think that Chavs wear leggings and trainers too?

mickandrorty · 30/12/2022 06:45

Do you like it? i assume you do, bloody well buy it and wear it if you do! Who cares what anyone else thinks about it? you're buying it for you because you like it!

CoffeandTiaMaria · 30/12/2022 06:48

I wouldn’t buy anything with blatant labelling.
I think LV always looks cheap and tacky, like a market stall knock-off.

Here's Clint Walker (from the TV series Cheyenne) with his.

Is this the look you are trying to create?😉

Chav isn’t a word I ever use.

Really don’t like the bag. It screams ‘look at me’ and I’d be embarrassed to be seen wearing it. Also looks quite impractical!

londonrach · 30/12/2022 07:20

They all chav.

Zanatdy · 30/12/2022 07:22

I don’t like overly branded things. I have a nice bag but it’s only got a small logo. I like it for the quality rather than the design so wouldn’t go for something so in your face

Glitterblue · 30/12/2022 07:22

I'm sorry, I don't like it but all that matters is if YOU like it 🙂

PatientlyWaiting21 · 30/12/2022 07:24

its chav

AlwaysGoingBackwards · 30/12/2022 07:24

I would assume it’s a fake. Sorry OP!

Badger1970 · 30/12/2022 07:25

I'd assume that most are fake these days.... it's a brand I'd never invest in purely for that reason.

It's a handbag.

As with anything - one nice branded item is fine.
head to toe LV (or any other brand) - chav. LV with tracksuit - chav
also… fairly easy to tell if something is from a market, or actually genuine.

I disagree, the real stuff looks just as bad as the fake stuff

I had one of their speedy bags in this print about 25yrs ago . Loved if for a while but outgrew it very quickly .

LolaSmiles · 30/12/2022 07:40

I agree with your DH. It's awful. Anything heavily monogrammed or labelled is a no for me.

If you're after a nice, good quality handbag then there's lots of options out there.

If you're after a bag that says 'look I've bought something designer' then there's also lots of options out there. Your DH is likely to have the same opinion on lots of these bags though so you've got to decide if you like the bag enough whether to ignore him and go with what you like.

SpringIntoChaos · 30/12/2022 07:51

Awful! Really, really awful 🤷‍♀️

JustAnotherDayWorkingAtHome · 30/12/2022 07:55

I love LV and I don’t think it screams fake. I’m not mad on that style but I think that print is timeless.

NewMoonPhase · 30/12/2022 08:01

Very cringey to use the word chav.
The bag's horrible too.

Anotherbloomingchristmas · 30/12/2022 08:02

Its a bag, not keen on the colour. Also how easy is it to find anything in a bag of that shape?
Chav is an unpleasant word to use imo. It’s basically used to be derogatory towards those you think of as lesser.

Notthetoothfairy · 30/12/2022 08:02

Yep, chav

ElizabethBest · 30/12/2022 08:05

I like the shape but everyone will assume it’s a market stall knock off.

CantStartaFireWithoutaSpark · 30/12/2022 08:07

It depends on the person whether it looks chav!
some ladies carry it off and it looks desirable and real. Others don’t!

Numbat2022 · 30/12/2022 08:09

I would assume it cost you £20 off a market stall, which is probably not the look you're going for. Anything with an obvious print or logo is beyond tacky.

JustDanceAddict · 30/12/2022 08:12

It’s a no from me too!!
