people that pay boo-koo bucks for clothes are stupid. They dont last any longer than regular clothes- and some even less or go out of fashion and thus cannot be worn while still good.

Patek watches are nice.
I'm not a label junkie, but I see them in this neighborhood constantly. They wear the authentic designer labels and not the fakes. My neighbors have LV dog carriers to match their bags and luggage. It's too much, but it's real. I did see a nice red Rolls Royce parked across the street and a black Rolls Royce parked around the corner when I went out to dinner tonight. Meanwhile, I have a Metrocard for the subway.

I hate labels. Yeah I'm poor, so that's part of the reason. I don't have the kind of money to be throwing around buying LV bags, and Versace dresses. But even if I did, I would probably only buy designer handbags...because those can last you forever when your $5000 dollar pants go out of style in a week.
I have a fake Prada bag. I know it's fake, I'm happy it's fake. I don't try to pass it off as the real thing, I will shout it from the rooftops that it's fake. My brother bought it for me a gag gift when he went to NYC a few weekends ago. He bought it off a street vendor.

Unless the logo is actually showing, how would an untrained eye really know that it is the ACTUAL label? Stores like Zara and H&M often sell lookalikes in terms of clothing. Of course, it's different when it comes to bags. For me, I'd only buy bags and items I KNOW will last a long time (classic suits and dresses), if I had the $$$$$

Good grief, this took serious balls.
I would have paid for tickets to this little event.

Some people are VERY serious about labels and can spot a brand a mile away. It's scary. Especially with shoes that are known for a particular shape/style.

I'm not exactly a label junkie, I just like nice things. I don't buy any of it though because I am not about to spend $500 on a pair of shoes, or $300 on a pair of jeans. The only thing I have is a LV purse and I love it!
I can NOT stand fake stuff. Especially the obvious fake purses. I don't know why people would buy those.

Louis Vuitton does not make do-rags.
That is all.

My bf is a dealer for cell phones and wanted to buy LV face plates at wholesale. How ridiculous is that! Anyway, he did not do it.
I'm thinking of replacing my cousins LV purse for her birthday. It's falling apart. The straps are cracking and the zipper fell off. She has to open and close with the tips of her fingers. Fakes arn't too expensive...or are they?
By the way, she will not admit it is fake. But, I want to be nice and get her a better looking one.

Beaucoup? Anyway, nicer clothes are worth it, they do last longer, and they feel better because they have better thread counts, and they are cut better, etc...
but what do I know, I just work retail?
