! Seems I hear of one every week or so...
I made the mistake of going to a purse party a few weeks back. Yuck! Each of the 'designer replicas' was $120+ and very poor quality. I felt that I had to buy something and bought a black suede purse (not sure of the material or brand that was copied) that was last year's style according the saleswoman and was 60% off. I gave it to my cousin who was in high school and she was thrilled. Still, I was furious after leaving the party. The saleswoman kept saying how the Coach replicas were made on the same line as the real thing. Ummm....the wallets were glued together! I had my real Hamptons Signature Checkbook wallet and when I was paying, another guest asked to look at it to compare it to the replica. Needless to say, she didn't buy the replica after seeing the difference in quality (and the replica was $80!). Some women were buying 3 or 4 purse because they were 'great deals.' At that point, take that same amount of money and buy a real one that will actually last through time! Plus, the saleswoman kept commenting on the quality of my mom's Dooney & Bourke 'replica' purse. It wasn't a replica! It was a real one and I know b/c I bought it for her last Mother's Day. Mom was totally insulted b/c the woman kept insisting it was a replica! At that point I had already purchased the one purse and wanted to give it right back to her! Never again will I go to one of these things!
So true!! Several months I ago I went to the DEAnza flea Market and at every other booth they were selling fakes. As I was walking I went into to one to see whatthey really looked liked and this girl hadt 6 FAKE channel purses. Man just save money and get the real thing!(I thought to my self) I looked at her like gross. Even my DH looked at her funny. He told me I will never buy you a fake purse I want you to be proud carrying around the real thing. Awww so sweet!!
Sorry went a little off topic.
