If these bitter economic times has a lesson for some people, I think it's moreso one of living within your means as opposed to saying
"it's ok to carry a fake bag now that you can't afford a real one". There is a BIG difference between carrying a fake bag (Goach) and carrying a bag that you can afford. Even before I was able to afford designer bags, I would not buy a fake Goach or whatever - I carried what I could afford, where it was a Tar-jay bag or something from JC Penny. Back when Wilson's Suede and Leather was still around, I bought quite a few of their handbags as well.

Hey Benzgirl - send me your LV and I'll carry her!

Screw the fakes! If I didn't use something because it was faked, there would be a lot of things I'd miss out on such as cosmetics, toothpaste, jewelry,etc. Today, almost everything is faked.
