At least the fakers are trying...?

I walked past a Shoe Pavilion and saw the handbag rack through the window. Of course, I gotta go inside and look because I saw a woven leather handle with knots.

They had a fake Spy, in denim with dark brown leather trim with the coin purse and tube compartment for $60. It was not even an "inspired by", just a downright fake. When I opened the bag, there was a separate zippered compartment in the front. I wish Fendi would do this!!!! I always have to fish around to find stuff in my Spy because it's just a gaping hole.

Needless to say, I didn't buy the fake. But I just imagined the scenario where the designers at the counterfeit company had a meeting and decided to put a zip compartment in there to improve upon the authentic to say and found it somewhat humorous.
 
i had a classmate who shamelessly carried a FAKE spy and walked into class..and sat ACROSS from me and my REAL SPY. she was sooo clueless about spy bags though, bc she bought a really really bad fake..haha..maybe she should have read our forum first! haha

she bought the fake version of the cloth spy..the one that is fabric and has the Fendi F logo all over. the handle on that bag does not have spikes. so this girl, on her fake spy, the handles are wrong and it had spikes..lol...:blink::shocked::rolleyes::biggrin:

she had no clue though..she looked at mine (i have the honey) and saw spikes so she thought hers should have it too...hahahahaa.... :shame:

some pp man...so vain..hehe:roflmfao:
 
oh my gosh. i hate fake spy bags, cuz most of them are so OBVIOUSLY fake. everywhere i see, it's FAKE FAKE FAKE spy bags. makes me sad. but whatever. you're right.. at least they're trying.. i guess.
 
I've been flaunting my honey spy and my coworker got a fake zucca print... I'm no fendi expert but it was very obvious, because i have the real thing..... sometimes i wonder if just the general public can tell.
 
you have to be able to tell, the quality and design is just not there - it' just like being able to point out a great suit versus a cheapie:yes:
