A Place for the Fakes

Well, technically these are not replicas, if they say Arden B on them. I guess it would be considered "borrowing" and Arden B would be considerably cheaper. That doesn't bother me so much, as trying to pass off some junk as an authentic B'bag. At least no one is being bambozzled.

No, this one is from Arden B.

Nordstroms had them in the size of the first. Actually the colors were kinda pretty but I didn't like that they were EXACT KNOCK OFFS.

The label was some ladies name. I forgot.

I was just shocked that Norstroms would carry a knock off, that similar. Why not just the real thing?

I saw them last year in Nordstrom's Brass Plum department for teenage girls...they had every color. Aldo's also has Chloe Silverado and Fendi Spy "inspired" bags as well. Still, there is nothing like the smell and feel or the real thing.

gross.
that's all i can say.

luvpurses24 · Jul 16th, 2006, 05:37 AM

Yuck. I've seen Helen Welsh before on QVC selling ugly shawls. And I saw several of her handbags on sale at Nordstrom's Anniversary sale. One is a Chloe rip-off.

seahorseinstripes · Jul 16th, 2006, 06:08 AM

Blech. Ptuey. I spit on this "bag".

pippop · Jul 16th, 2006, 02:49 PM

they actually sell her bags at Nordstrom and i will never understand why. they are just icky.

hatikuh · Jul 17th, 2006, 02:01 PM

well.. at least BlueFly stopped pretending that it's actually balenciaga

Blue824 · Jul 17th, 2006, 05:53 PM

Yeah, they sold her bags at Norstrom Rack too! I remember going in and I saw them hanging up on a wall and I had to run to see what they were and then I was like ewwww but yes... aren't they gross?? The other ones I saw were in weird metallic colors. I guess at least they're not saying specifically that they're Balenciaga, but "helen walsh" has totally ripped them off.
