Also, you can get more information on aegiale's buying guide on ebay. Just type in aegiale under community section and she has lots of good information on buying authentic Gucci bags.

I totally agree that knock-offs are getting better and better. But my girlfriend made an interesting point. She recently went to Thailand and purchased a knock-off Coach for about $90 USD. It retails for about $400 USD. We both can hardly tell the difference between a fake and a real...I'm pretty sure if you examine it closely you'll find something. But my point is (actually her point) that for a small fraction of the price you can have the purse you love that is quite hard to between a fake and real. She says this because she always wants a new purse and gets bored with styles quickly.

Just thought I'd share.

Cheers!

ow no! don't buy fakes! you'll support child labor and it's intellectual property theft!

read this article: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/lifestyle/273613_knockoffs13.html

"Those who buy knockoffs on purpose make their own deals with the devil. Carrying a fake handbag supports an illegal industry that encompasses sweatshop factories and theft of intellectual property. On top of all that, it's just stone cold frontin'."
