[Alexenjie]

Here is a link to an article that appeared this morning in a local Seattle newspaper about how to spot a fake bag. I feel like I learn just a little bit more each week:

Thanks for the article. I don't like fakes and I think there's nothing less classy than carrying a fake bag hoping that people will think its real. It's so much better carrying a no-brand non-designer cheap bag instead.

This is SO scary. And we all know that it is not that easy to discern the fakes as they make it out to be. Some of the fakes coming out now are really, really close! I am only buying high end bags from places like BG or Barneys or the actual retailer (i.e., Balenciaga New York). Anything else is too risky!
