Buying an authentic handbag doesn't = spending a mortgage payment on it.

Some designers have Outlet stores. You can also get good deals at stores like TJMaxx & Marshalls from time to time. Then there's always the department store clearance sections.

I have a hard time understanding why one would go and purchase a fake LV, Gucci, etc or whatever when they can take that money and get a nice handbag from a less expensive store like Nine West, Calvin Klein, etc. Sure it's not a high-fashion designer bag, but I don't see the point of trying to look like you have an LV when you really don't.

I have to agree with not liking fake bags or other accessories for that matter. It is annoying to spend my hard earned money on something nice to see someone else with a knockoff. Just my 2 cents

Speaking of fakes, here is Sarah Palin's daughter Piper carries a fake Louis

Ok, two things.....

1. - What happened to little girls carrying a cutesy Hello Kitty or Strawberry Shortcake purses? Yall know all she has in there is crayons, stickers and chapstick (or at least that's what I carried in a purse at her age. )

2. - A fake Louis? I'm surprised her mom's handlers let this slip by.

Could this be Mom's bad? I don't know of any kid that carries a bag that big. Even the kids I saw with real Louis' in LA didn't carry the big ones. They were at least Hello Kitty size.

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."

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?

Or... maybe the fake was PLANTED!!

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

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" I didn't have the heart to tell her that they weren't real

[misspatty86]

I hate those too!

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.

I knew it wasn't just me that was 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 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.
