I've had a couple of guys that scared me once ask me about my LV wanting to know if it was real. It was late and I had to stop for gas, I went inside to pay and a guy asked me, I turned to him and said "I wish!" He just kinda grinned and I paid and got out of there.

In a situation like that I would.
 
ALL THE TIME :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: !

I tell my husband I get them on ebay for a great price--I've rarely gotten anything decent on ebay for a "great" price. I'd tell him they're fake, but he'd disapprove even more. I commented to my son't little GF that she was carrying a nice Louis and she immediately blabbed that she got in on Harwin St. (Houston's version of Canal Street), I said yeah, me too (not in this lifetime.) I always tell my daughter they're fake, but she, clever girl, doesn't believe a word I say, and starts checking on line to see how much of her inheritance I've spent.

I definately tell strangers they're fake--it's none of their business. And people who approach me and ask about my purse are definately frightening. I don't tell them anything, I ask them why they want to know.

By the way, your "i wish" answer sounds perfect.

I've lied to my husband and my family before-- telling them 'oh- this bag ? it's fake'-- only for them to roll their eyes and say-- YOU! BUY A FAKE????! Yeah right-- oh well I guess they know me too well :shame:
 
I've done the -"oh this bag? Gotta love ebay!!!" Or "Found it on the internet at a great price". That's about a close as I have come to lying. Once dh asked how much my lv mc pochette costs when I carried it with us out to dinner. Instead of lying I just looked him square in the eye and told him that I would never tell him how much I spentand that he was better off not knowing! Of course then it became a game for him to try to get me to fess up but I stood my ground:laugh:
 
It never ceases to amaze me how some people can just blatantly ask if a purse is real :evil: . To me, it's a bit rude.

So far, I've been honest w/ my purchase and my DH gave up on my handbag fetish a long time ago, lol.
 
I lie all the time to SO....he does NOT understand my obsession with LV, and basically gives me a hard time if he knows how much it costs. I pay for all my bags myself so I don't know what he's all upset about. I have a Lucille that I wear a lot, and when we went to the LV store to try on different bags, he somehow found out how much it cost and scolded :mad: So I am not going to go shopping with him at LV anymore....

Not to my husband, he's the one who buys them for me so, I can't lie. I do lie about them to my in-laws. Shhh!

Ditto about my hubby. I can't lie to my MIL either. She is very knowledgable about designer purses. Her collection is far way more impressive than mine :love:
 
I haven't had the need to cause I've only been asked by my friends and I don't lie to them. They can't understand why I bought my Speedy but they carry fakes so to each his own.

If I were in a bad area or in a situation where I feel uneasy and they ask me, I'll lie no doubt.
 
I always lie to strangers, but I feel bad when I lie to friends. I'll tell them that I got it on sale, which is true for my clothes, but not for my bags ... what would you guys say in this type of situation? I can't think of any good responses when my friends ask.
 
I would definately lie in that situation!!
My husband knows how much LV is though as he sees the "real" price on the credit card bill.
I don't tell other people what LV costs or if its real. Once had a snobby looking woman in a shop look at my Alma and go " Real ones of those cost a lot of money". I just said "Yep" and walked away, don't feel the need to justify to strangers that it's real.
 
My mum was with me when I bought my bag as it was a birthday present from my mum and dad. I refuse to tell my friends how much my bags cost because they dont appreciate that the are quality made and craftmanship. They just dont understand what LV is!!!
 
ekekek, i would of lied too if i was in your situation.... :-) its best to be safe aye?!
as for my bf's friends, they always ask if speedy 30 is real and i always say, "yes" my bf knows how much i spent on it and its the only bag he likes out of my small collection! hehe!!!
 
Yes!!! To my husband's side of the family. I think they would think I am mental if they knew what kind of $$$ I spent on bags. THANK GOD my husband doesn't care so it's "OUR dirty little secret"!!!:laugh:
