Thoughts?
Did you own a counterfeit before owning an authentic item?
I have to confess I did, it was about 10 yrs ago when I was in college, everybody was buying those bags in Chinatown. I didn't know much about them just thought they were cute. After that, I became more interested in the brand and eventually, with increase on income, came to own a real one. Today I own: 4 Louis Vuitton, 1 Gucci, 1 Fendi and a few Louis Vuitton accessories like wallet, pochette, bag charm.
