To offer the opposing point of view as Quickbeam, why would I give a crap? (or perhaps he was being ironic) If you are so insecure that seeing someone else using the same bag as you makes you feel like a tool, you should probably be using a designer handbag or the like. My bag is utilitarian, not a fashion statement, so if anything, I make my bag feel like a tool, because it is one. If you're trying to be indy and unique, you can probably do better than Chrome anyway. Hell, I've heard of Chrome, how cool could it be?

You may have valid points about the quality of the construction, etc. I have not used a Chrome bag, and I won't say anything bad about them. For all I know, they are the best bags ever made. But choosing not to use a bag so as just to not be associated with the unwashed masses of soccer moms is pretty damn elitist.
