If this is Sarah's bag (or Piper's bag), couldn't the RNC spend an extra $600 on a real bag?

Palin claims to shop at consignment shops...Maybe this is one of her own purchases and not the RNC's? :confused:

I hate those too!

Or... maybe the fake was PLANTED!! :eek::eek::eek:

hehehe j/k... though it is a possibility, albiet a slight one.

I am proud to say that I don't own any knockoffs....but nor do I own any Coach purses, etc. I'm not going to put on airs and act like I can afford to have a designer bag
I know some girls that have knock off Tiffany jewelry and Coach purses who look down on girls that have the real versions saying that they're materialistic :confused:

that LV piper is carring is so obviously fake it's not funny-

So my roommate freshman year went to the mall and came home with a "Chanel" bag she insisted was real. She got it from a boutique at the mall... I asked her once where it was made Italy or France haha she checked the tag & said China. She treated this purse like it was the real thing-- I felt so bad I honestly don't know if she knew it was a fake the way she treated it. I mean this girl brought home these decorative boxes that said couture on them and were black and white and all she did was talk about how they were "Juicy Couture" :rolleyes: I didn't have the heart to tell her that they weren't real

So i'll put it here since it's about fake designer bags, but I was watching the Real Housewives of Atlanta and Nene was visiting her aunt (the one who raised her) and the aunt had a fake Coach bag.

I just thought "dang Nene, your rich you couldn't afford to spring for a real Coach for your aunt."

I couldn't get over Kim giving her daughter a $1600 LV for her 10th birthday...and she had bought her another one just a week before?? Big Poppa must have some deep pockets.

Wait...her name is really Piper Palin? I hate to say it, but if that's true then her fake LV is one of the least of her worries.

my mom went last week to the local goodwill and bought a trench coat with the tags still on it for 5 bucks.

it is burberry. that damn coat runs for $1500 online! and she could care less lol!

I knew it wasn't just me that was :eek: :( at that. That's just foolishness. Thank God my friends outside of Atlanta recognize that all Atlantans aren't as over-the-top materialistic as these "ladies".

But I feel weird about the people that don't know real Atlantans and think this show represents my hometown. :(

I did the same thing a few years ago, except it was $9. I ended up selling it for over $200. :)

I own two designer pieces - a Coach Signature wallet and a pair of Burberry sunglasses. I got both for < $100 and love em.

As for the purse? Corduroy hippie bag all the way.

You need to be careful with that, though, OTW. A couple of years ago, I saw a Dooney & Burke bag I liked cheap at the NEX and next thing I knew every freaking enlisted wife was carrying the same bag around Annapolis. (To everyone reading this, I know that sounds snotty but OTW and I have had several conversations about designer goodies so she understands that the sentiment behind the statement is not meant to be snotty).

I finally gave the bag to my sister in Pittsburgh. They don't know designer up there so she was just like, "oh. a bag with a duck on the clasp. cool."

HEY! Pittsburghers may be a lot of things, but they are not completely naive to designer goodies! 33girl back me up here!
