I Feel So Bad About It........

[Labeladdict2]

I work with a nice lady whose friend in Atlanta wanted to get her a nice bag. my coworker wanted a Louis Vuitton. She said, "I only had $100.00 to pay for it". The so-called friend told her "that's enough...these are nice". Well the lady (50ish) came to work toting he fake LV with pride. She called me overto her desk because she knows I love my babies as she admires my bags. I almost fainted when I saw that brownish/orange, almost triangle shaped, thing on her desk with a hug bow on it. I just smiled and said, "that was niiiiice of her......" She went on and on..."I've always wanted one...."it's real too, not fake!" I almost laughed but I didn't of course) Yes, REAL FAKE.
I think I did the right thing by letting her be proud of it. I mean, it's authentic to her.....I just feel so bad every time I see it. What a rotten friend. Probobly bought it off of a street vendor. Believe me, they have them in Atlanta just like NYC.

Just let her be. Maybe someone else will be the bad guy and tell her.

Oh I hope not....maybe we make too big a deal about these things (knockoffs, replicas, etc...)

But if she doesn't realize it's fake already, is she really going to know anything about that?

i know what u mean.. my friend bout an authentic bag off ebay for $300... it had all the authentic stuff... and she totally believes its a real LV bag... hello as if someone would sell a real bag that cheap... ebay can be untrustworthy

hmmm...i'd like to know what that's supposed to mean exactly...but i guess i'll just let you be...

 

[hotpinky]

give me a break.

she's not a 'fashionista'. she'll have no idea and let her be happy. geez.. it's not that sad. it was only $100 and she likes it.

why is it sad if she's happy?

 

[purplelucrezia]

Ignorance is bliss. Let her be blissful.

This is what I meant: "Well the lady (50ish) came to work toting he fake LV with pride" at that age it just doesn't matter if it's real or fake and if you're still hung up on spending crazy money on handbags at that age, you're nuts with one exception you're Rich and most of us aren't just in debt but I only speak for myself, Amex owns my soul.

No offense my mom is 50 and has no problem carrying a fake even a bad one, no shame in her game! More power to ya Mom!!!

 

[softgrey]

that didn't make any sense to me... but i guess it doesn't really matter...

 

[pradaromance]

not too crazy about the middle aged comment...

 

[pointup]

"happiness is a warm gun" no no happiness is a fake LV bag... whatever floats one's boat is fine with me (well... in this case atleast) No need for her to know any different..

Ah, let her be.... She said middle-aged not old-aged. Calling anything in the fifty range "middle" age is a pretty generous and decent comment by today's standards. Besides, most of us won't make it to 100! Yes lets let this woman also tote her fake bag in peace. I get why its sad for Labeladdict, she knows the difference! It is sad! But not for the woman who owns the bag, she's feeling the full effects of LV bliss............it's actually kind of cute how she can't stop talking about it!

when im a granny i wanna look fashionable and still use designer bags and wear pink... haha i will need botox and everything that makes u look young without looking too plastic....

hehe i think everybody thinks too much... lets all give our brains a rest

 

[softgrey]

i doesn't hurt for some of us to use our brains...
besides excercising it will keep it in good shape...

I've heard a dozen sadder things today and saw at least one.

If the woman is happy with her purse, fake, tacky, whatever, then she's got her $100 worth right there.
