Well I'm in Northeast PA and let me tell you, there aren't any L.A.M.B.s for miles.... and miles.... Even when I lived in Philadelphia I never saw any. To be honest though - I like it that way haha. I also live in the above mentioned "coach country" and "fake LV land" - it's an actual epidemic here. I worked at Express all through H.S. & college years, and when you see hordes of 12 yr olds at the mall with LVs - there is a problem. If these did get faked I would be heartbroken, it's an exclusive club haha No fakes allowed!
