I don't get the whole bag thing. I just don't.
Real name-brand bags sell for somewhere north of $300. Knockoffs sell for much less, but fall apart. All I really need are a couple of evening bags, and a plain purse to carry on the rare occasion when I'm wearing an outfit without pockets.
WHY do women drop $300 or more on a handbag??

real women have bills to pay lmao! the day i have that much to drop on a PURSE...well, that will be a very good day for me.
my aunt hooked up with a guy in new york to buy fake Louis'...she told this story about how they couldnt know each others last names, she followed him into hallways, back alleys, and finally to a secret compartment in an apartment...like something out of a Borne movie lmao! she bought 50 purses for about a grand, and sold them for close to 5k...too sad.

Those places are few & far btwn now. Thank goodness!
I will admit that I have gone to a place like that with a friend! I was worried the police were going to come out from somewhere & arrest us!!! A girl visiting from London was with us & asked "Aren't you going to buy anything?" and I replied "No I buy real bags" Looking back it was a bit snarky & bitchy but honest....

I also hate fake handbags. I will admit I am obsessed with Louis V. Just bought my first one this year for my B-day and plan on buying some luggage next. I figure I have no husband or kids so what else am I going to spend money on? (besides stray animals/animal causes which i tend to spend quit a bit of $ on every year)

HAHAHAHHAHAH!
That was freaking awesome.
I feel like all these people carrying around fake Louis Vuittons (or trashy people carrying real ones) has turned me against the brand altogether.

My mom has a few LV bags from years ago vintage styles they no longer make which she started letting me use a few years ago. . . But now I dont even use them because the brand has just become so copied poorly same with coach. . . . The only designer bag I have that I really value is a Chanel from the early 80's that belonged to my grandma and that my mom gave me for my 21st birthday. . . But its more sentimental that status symbol. . .

To my way of thinking, that Chanel bag has FAR more status than the latest expensive bag. How cool, Nanners!
And I think the next spammer who wants to advertise their handbag wares really should post it here . . .

Because we can
At any rate, I hate fakes. People waste entirely too much money on fakes when they can just save the money they waste on fakes and buy a nice, quality bag.
however, one thing that pisses me off is when people assume that I'm carrying a fake. I get crazy comments all the time about my bags.
