Alright so this weekend was my grandparents' estate auction and it was a pretty difficult deal to go through.
I carried my new black sig legacy shoulder bag with me to the auction. My whole family was there. I got several compliments on it. But that's not the funny part.
I've told you guys before that my aunt has those horrible purse parties and sells fake LV, Prada, Balenciaga and Coach (for like $80-$100) and passes them off as real. She knows that I know they're fake, because I asked her where she got the Balenciaga she gave my grandma's housekeeper for christmas and-- GET THIS-- SHE TOLD ME SHE GOT THAT BALENCIAGA FROM JC PENNEY'S. Because, you know, all the hottest Balenciaga's are at JC Penney's.
Anyway. She was eyebaling it pretty good, then made some snarky comment along the line of, "that's interesting; I've never seen that style before. I'd be concerned it isn't real." and started patting her obscenely fake LV Speedy while she was eyeballing it.
I smiled and said "Oh, you can't get it anymore. It's called a Legacy bag. I picked it up at the Coach boutique in Rogers." And she kind of smirked and said, "Oh, so it's old! My Coach bags are all newer styles anyway." So that really irritated me, and I said casually, "oh, you mean the $80 fake bags you sell at your purse parties? Because this one retails at $400, and it's real."
And she goes: "I'd never pay $400 for a bag. You need to get your priorities straight."
So then I said "Yeah, it's obvious you'd never pay that for a bag, but at least I don't go to bed with a RASH every night from carrying those hideous knock-offs." I gave her fake LV bag the evil eye when I said this, and then I high-tailed it out of there before it ended up being
Just had to share, I thought you Ladies would find it amusing. I know my mom did, and she thinks I'm crazy for liking Coach so much. Would you all have handled it differently? Because she's always around peddling her fake bags and
enough is enough! I know maybe it seems shallow it just still chaps me that these country ladies don't know any better and are spending their savings on fake bags trying to be in style with no clue what they're buying and what they're supporting overseas.

at the "Balenciagas" at JCPenney.......and I think I probably would've handled it about the same way.
I'm sure it's hard to be in a situation where someone is so brazen about selling fakes, especially when she knows you work for Coach.
