We all have our preferences, and those preferences are all revealing in ways great and small. And that includes handbag preferences—because designers use their ideas to create particular moods are evoke particular images within shoppers, it’s natural that different brands will attract different kinds of people, even if there’s plenty of overlap in personal collections. (Which is why personal collections are so interesting—they paint a picture of an individual’s whims and preferences over time!)
So today, in honor of National Handbag Day, we’re here to make some conjectures about big brands’ most ardent fans, all in good fun. If your favorite brand isn’t named below, let me know in the comments and I’ll see if I can come up with a decent enough joke just for you.
Louis Vuitton
If you’re a millennial or older: You still feel an occasional twinge of nostalgia for Uggs, “Return to Tiffany” tag necklaces, and just the ambient mood of the year 2007 in general. Don’t worry, we all do, even if we don’t admit it.
If you’re younger: You have two different finstas, one for your girlfriends and one for dudes.
Chanel
You’ve simultaneously wondered whether you were wearing too many or not enough pearls. More than once.
Hermès
You’re rich and you’re not super into people knowing it, but you’re also not not into people knowing it, ya know?
Coach
You have a lot of opinions about either Riverdale or Gossip Girl or, if you’re just the right age, maybe both.
Fendi
You have an entire vision board of Bella Hadid in crop tops.
Gabriela Hearst
You either have an art dealer or are an art dealer.
Mansur Gavriel
You feel like 85% sure that owning a blush velvet sofa would solve all the problems in your life.
Celine
It used to be Saint Laurent.
Céline
You’ve considered calling the police on Hedi Slimane in the past two weeks.
Saint Laurent
You’re not sure what you’re supposed to say in all of this but you wish people would stop implying you have bad taste.
Chloé
You’ve watched at least a couple YouTubes about how to make your own macramé wall-hanging after realizing the good ones on Etsy cost handbag money.
Gucci
Before they introduce you to new people, your friends warn them that you’re “kind of a lot, but generally in a fun way.” Generally!
Dior
You don’t leave the house in leggings.
ROFLMAO. Amanda, you will truly be missed.
I own most of the brands listed here, but today I’m clutching my LV while wearing my Tiffany toggle bracelet. Spot on.
I’ve been roasted
Too funny 🙂
How about Balenciaga?
LOL spot on for Saint Laurent ?
Do Prada!
this is Hilarious! well done.
Do Bottega Veneta!
Love Chanel, have absolutely no pearl anything, ever! Hmmmm…LOL! This is a
fun post.
Omg the Céline and Celine… lmao
Hedi Slimane should be arrested twice, for Saint Laurent and now Cèline.
I just fell off my chair!!!!!
i laughed then i cried
hahahha, okay my favourite brand is chanel and…. surprise, I’m actually wearing pearls
This is exceptional. I’m an LV and Mansur Gavriel mix and it’s so on point!
What about my favorite brand the classic, elegant Prada? I would have also like to have seen Tory Burch and Kate Spade too.
I’m into both Tory Burch and Kate Spade as well! 😉
So funny and some are ON THE NOSE!
How about Givenchy and Prada? 🙂
Oh Prada? Us Prada folks wouldn’t be caught dead in an online personality assessment 😉
And versace
and Balenciaga.
This?
Givenchy!
Michael Kors!
Melene Birger!
Marni!
Hahah omg, I got SOOO sad when I got to the Celine, because I was, for some reason, expecting to see Céline!!!!! I went numb.. you know when the truth hits you and you just … …. … … … ugh! That was hard! Haah! Well then I got to Céline, and YES, spot on, I’ve been thinking about it more than once.
Gosh I feel like I need to catch up to get a ‘professional’ insta and now I need a further two finstas. It looks like I will never be a Dior girl. Ever.
Ok but *can* I call the police in Hedi Slimane this is a serious question
The fashion police will thank you !
I had to Google finsta!
Good post 🙂
What, no Prada?
On point!
This is so funny. The Return To Tiffany reference made me laugh. I asked my husband to buy me the necklace and matching toggle bracelet one Christmas when we were dating in our 20s. I secretly sold the necklace last year because I’ll never wear it again, but I do still wear the bracelet (often!).
?????? This is spot on
Ok, here’s a tough one for you – Carolina Herrera. Specifically, the Andy bag. Size 8.
I have a multiple personality disorder.
MUAHAHA XD XD
Lol I love this, esp the Celine and Céline. I’m Dior for sure but I always leave the house in leggings ?
ummm, I’d like more for Dior please. even if the short phrase made its point.
But the rest was spot on.
What about my favorite (Bottega Veneta)? ?
Toasting the roasting!
??????
Do Bal…..??????
LOL! Where’s Bottega!!!!
This is perfection.
Love this. Hilarious!
Funny post. I couldn’t help but smile
These were sooooooooo accurate….how did you knowwwwwwwwwwwww????????
You got me at Cèline! I’ll miss you so much!
How about Balenciaga?? Coz 10 out of 16 of my bags are Balens! Haha.
No Prada? Very disappointing. Classic Prada bags are the best!
But I LOVE “You’re rich and you’re not super into people knowing it, but you’re also not not into people knowing it, ya know?” and laughed out loud at “You feel like 85% sure that owning a blush velvet sofa would solve all the problems in your life.”. Truth on both! 🙂
What about Prada???
What about Bottega Veneta? They have come out with a new designer and new padded & unpadded woven line…
Where is Hermès??
