hahaha i know what you mean. so many of them carry brand named bags but most could care less about really learning about the line and being truly passionate about it (like us on tPF). to them, it's just the name and that's it and not only that, i've seen so many abused bags. sad.
yeah i never thought there was anyone else from the SGV on this forum but i'm sure there definitely are. maybe we'll run into each other one day! haha.
btw, i was being humorous earlier, hope you didn't take it the wrong way.
