Chanel Clear PVC Flap

I know that fakes are horrible .. blah blah blah.. But If I could find a fake version of this bag I would (even with out the chanel c's). I really love it but almost a thousand dollars is a bit excessive
 
I saw one of the naked bags in Bloomingdales. It doesn't have a flap it just has a CC closure for $995. I think it would have made a wonderful beach bag. Just a little too much to be tossing in the sand?
