I don't mind folk buying designer shirts etc. if that's what floats their boat, after all it's their money, they can even set fire to it if they want and I won't intervene (I might suggest giving it to charity would be better but - hey ho whatever).

It's when they never just refer to it as a shirt but rather a X&X shirt or whoever - it always smacks to me of trying too hard! The people who "wear it well" are the ones who don't see it as a topic of conversation and don't feel the need to talk about it.

I think that there is a rather HUGE age difference on this site on this site. Of course really old people 70+ are not going to have the same opinions as guys in their 20s/early 30s!

Interesting topic - we are all of course buyng a designer brand of AV equipment . Not sure age has a lot to do with things - on the whole, most people here will buy B&O and other brands for a particular reason. I always bought B&O because it was well made, easy to use and looked beautiful. I apply the same desires to most other products I buy when it is sensible. I also look for value though, so will not buy something simply because it has a flash logo on it.

I am pleased that I am not considered 'really old' - perhaps mature might be a better description! 🙂

I keep my laptop in a scruffy well worn bag for general duties - so that way one of them wrong 'uns will think it's got worthless contents - just a paper file or something and not try and grab it (shows the areas I go to....) but if I want to travel smart-but-casual I use a Crumpler

Good luck finding it...

There was a B&o laptop bag already.

As I recall, it was a rebranded Victorinox bag in the promo vein.

Well, I'll have you know that my *B&G Muumuu has "NO STEP" strategically printed in places. Is that "trying too hard?"

Well when you are a bit nearer the former than the latter you will find out the truth:
