Do you ever worry people can tell you’re carrying a rep?

Sometimes when I’m out with my rep bag, I catch myself wondering — can people tell? It’s not that I’m unhappy with it; honestly, it’s one of the best purchases I’ve made. The look, the feel, even the weight — it’s all there.

But then I’ll be standing in line somewhere, or sitting at brunch, and spot someone with the “real deal” a few tables away. Suddenly I’m hyper-aware of my own bag: is the logo sitting right? Is the stitching noticeable? Am I holding it too confidently, or weirdly trying to hide it?

Most of the time, no one’s paying attention — and even if they are, they probably can’t tell or don’t care. But that little voice in my head still whispers sometimes.

Anyone else get that same feeling? Or am I just overthinking it? Curious to hear if others have had those moments!
