Originally I'm from the Philippines, but been living in Singapore for 12 years now with my family. I just had my very first LV last year of May a wedding anniv gift from DH. Anyways, since then i fell inLVoe with the LV. Everytime i have something new i post it on my FB but on a setting for friends only. 
I have this friend who is really a friend to me. I got shocked when she told me, why do you buy original LV its just a waste of money when you can buy here in Manila a fake but exact image, as in you won't even know the difference. And then one time i noticed before, i have a Long Champ le pliage that used it when i had a vacation, and after that i saw her using the same exact color of my Long Champ in FB, i asked her how much did you bought it? She laughed and said, even you cannot tell that mine is fake. And she even said, on your birthday i'll give you a fake Neverfull LV, you'll be amazed and you'll see what i'm trying to say. Don't buy an original, you're just wasting your husbands money.
and i said, NO Thank you, i still prefer the original and its not me who buys them, my husband doesn't want me to buy fake, he says why buy fake when you can buy the original brand. My DH says, fake is fake!
Oh and this friend of mine said, might as well use your Coach bags than LV, coz here in Manila LV's are everywhere only they're fake, and they might think your's is fake too. i said, yah but here in Singapore everyone uses original only.
I feel sad for what my friend said to me, i don't know what she's trying to tell me or maybe she doesn't mean harm but i got offended when she said i'm wasting my DH money.

We can all share our new obsessions and our latest purchases, for the most part without judgement. 
and in TPF where i can "talk" freely about buying a real designer bag without being judged.
