yuck.
i can see why a designer would use a checkerboard pattern for a handbag, but this is clearly a cheap imitation of LV with zero originality, and young girls aren't stupid when it comes to fashion - i should know, i used to be one - and most will be embarrassed to carry that bag. when i was in high school, or middle school for that matter, i knew the difference between style and yuck, and just because i didn't have the means to carry LV, that didn't mean i was about to settle for fakes; instead, i bought into other brands that fit my high school budget, like guess, bebe, and XOXO. my mom kept a lot of her bags from the 60's so i wore those too - much better than wearing a pretend LV.
