I don't mind designer stuff, some is super good, and if you've got the money, go forth and signal, my child. But LV bags seem low status to me, despite their price. Maybe I just see too many on women riding in economy on airplanes? Does anybody else have this association?

LV bags seem like heavy signalling to me - they're instantly recognizable and often are huge and have the logo plastered all over them. I assume affluent and thrifty people are subtler and not the type of people to use LV bags.

I agree, I think LV bags up there among fashion items with the greatest divergence between what owners think they signal and what they actually do. Also, Gucci GG belts, Hermès H belts, any designer sunglasses with oversized logos.
