What's classy if your rich, but trashy if you're poor?

Rich, classy people are NOT buying Coach. At all. Their bags are dirt cheap and are made out of shitty material.

But I get your point. Middle-class high schoolers divorced moms in the suburbs will spend a child support paycheck on this because it has the logo all over it and the SA told her it's a popular bag. Richer people go for far more subtle designs on bags with a richer history and better build quality.

And they most definitely don't go for the same brands. Poor/middle-class people stick to the gigantic, over-marketed brands with designs that famously emphasize logos like LV or Gucci, or brands that are not HF at all but just look like it at a cheaper price like Kors or Coach. Richer people stick to brands that may be as popular, but are far more subtle, harder to find and wayyy out of a middle-class person's budget, even when that budget is "my entire child support paycheck" - Hermes, Chanel, Dior, Versace, Saint Laurent, Goyard, etc.
