Is this a good laptop bag for men? Or will I look pretentious?

LOL. It may be a great laptop bag but you will probably look pretentious. If you really want LV I’d go with a bag that is less obviously branded

For the record I do love that print myself, but not for a work bag.

At my office, lots of colleagues have the monogram/Damier bags for their daily bags. I don’t think it’s pretentious because it’s so common at my office. It also depends on if you wear nice pants and button ups, suits, or a t-shirt and jeans. What would you say your office vibe is? Do you see it around enough for it not to stick out like a sore thumb?

Additionally, if you work with customers, you have to consider brand conflicts with a bag so obviously branded.

Personally, I agree with others that the taiga and epi leathers (less obviously branded) are less showy and harder to spot. Of course , they’re also more expensive because you’re not a walking billboard

Working at a company and they can’t seem to hold on to their female, black and people of color employees. I blinked and 3 of the people who were in my onboarding class were either fired or they left. For context I’ve been in company less than a year and there are people who have been in the company 25yrs. I’m thinking of cutting loose before it gets to my turn.

I could use some advice on this situation. I’ve been working for a small family owned business in Toronto Canada for about 4months. I’ve noticed a lot of unprofessional behaviour since I’ve started (yelling at workers infront of customers) I’ve bounced around different positions so much that the owner blames 98% of stuff on me when something isn’t done, even if it’s not my responsibility anymore.A week ago I asked for an employment contract to get this straight but nothing yet. What do I do?

The hostility on my team is rough. We have a yeller. I walked by her room the other day. She was screaming across the room at a student, "you have to be kind to get kindness." Seriously, those were her words in a loud, berating, angry tone. Our admin has asked that we not report these. We are to talk to the teacher. She has yelled at me and other adults. Admin has to know she treats the kids this way too. One teacher has to work with her door closed to not hear the yelling all day.

Interested in everyone’s opinions on replica luxury. I ask because, as noted in the previous thread re: Chanel’s price increases, the quality of authentic luxury bags is going way down while the price increases consistently. Specifically Chanel and LV.

What’s your argument for or against replicas?
