I was at the bazarre in Istanbul today and practically every shop that sold handbags had nasty fake bals.

Just for fun I asked to see one, he was asking 660 lira (about $500) for a pukey pleather pea soup green "giant hardware brief."

I told him it a nasty fake, why was he asking for so much money and he said it was for the "leather, not the name."

Yuck.

And there were fakes of every possible style and color to be had.
 
I went to Istanbul in 2005 and even back then they had countless fake bals... I had my beloved black twiggy with me and was so happy that she was like a princess among them! Also I remember seeing a girl with the most beautiful weekender there!
