This happened maybe a week or two ago, but I just remembered it and thought I'd share with you guys...
At work (I work at a fine dining restaurant as a hostess), one of the first things I notice about a female customer is what bag they're carrying. I occasionally see LVs, but not very often. In general, I don't see many people in Calgary carrying LVs around.
So one night, I was helping a young couple at the door. I noticed that the girl was carrying a Damier bag...but it looked like a Babylone...I thought it must be special order! I didn't want to stare at it because they were waiting for me to bring them over to their table so while they were sitting down I was just looking at the bag, admiring its beauty. I wanted to compliment her bag but was too shy to, so I just left.
When they were finished their dinner, they were at the coat check room and I got their coats for them...while I was handing her her coat, I asked, "I hope you don't mind me asking, but is that a special order Damier bag?"
She replied, "I'm sorry, what?"
I asked, "Did you have that bag special ordered from Louis Vuitton? It's beautiful!"
And she had this smile on her face, "Oh, no! I just got it from the street on New York for really cheap!"
I didn't know whether to be embarassed for myself or to be embarrased for her. You hear people asking others whether their authentic bags are fake or not...but you don't hear very often about an LV lover asking a person carrying a fake whether their fake was an SO...*sigh* I was so disappointed...but I have to admit, that was one GOOD fake because it definitely looked like the Babylone...and I know Damier can be SO'ed, but I never expected a fake SO!
