There is a stand at one of small malls, that sells purses with the G monogram (is that the one y'all call "Goach?" lol) and that annoys me to no end. Or the fake LV monogram ones.

My way to telling if it's a fake is by looking at the quality of the leather and the quality of the hardware. A real designer bag will tend to have softer, smoother leather. A fake will have rougher, poorer-quality leather. A real designer bag will have heavier, sturdier metal hardware. A fake will have lighter, flimsier hardware. Also, with a real bag, if you touch the hardware, it'll be cold metal to the touch...or if the bag's been out in sun, it'll be hot metal to the touch. The hardware on a fake will feel about room temperature.
