^ personally dont think fakes will be any more or less than any other style of LV, they are every where!
I have the pouchy, I love it but dont care for it in the blue as it looks not much different to any other denim IMHO.
I think it is a perfect bag for all seasons as looks great with a jumper and jeans.
It holds a good lot and is comfy under the arm.
I dont think it will date any more than some of the other bags that have been out, I now find myself not "loving"my cerise marjory mini monogram from 04 which I adored at the time but its not the bag its my taste has changed.
If you love it you should get it before its too late.
