What To Do?

[couture_goddess]

okay, i kinda have a moral delimma!!! I ABSOLUTELY HATE replica bags!!! however a very well meaning nice sweet cousin bought me a LV replica- the white multicolor papillion- which LV did not make - now i see her once a week or so, i refuse to carry it but she always asks if i carry it - so far i have said not yet which is true but i don't want to hurt her feelings but i do not want to carry it in fact i don't even want it in my house!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what should i do?????

Oh... My... Gawd... Maybe you should burn your house down. Your house has been forever tainted by a fake Louis. I don't even want to think about your poor little cousin's fate...

It's not like you have a dilemma here. Just tell her you're too stooch for fake bags. Either way, you're hurting her feelings. So instead of trying to tip-toe around the edges, tell her straight up.

Or just suck it up and make sure you wear it around her once or twice.

Ok its fair enough if you dont want to be seen carrying a fake Lv bag or whatever down the street...but i think your going a bit over the top by saying u dont even want it in your house LOL

 

[oceanharlot]

tell her the truth.

i cannot even believe you'd buy me a skanky-*** fake LV bag. What do you take me for? a ghettoed out wannabe?

then give her a hug and ask her if SHE would rather have the bag.

Tell her the handbag is so special you're waiting for just the right occasion...

okay i am a little dramatic about not wanting it in my house, but anyways, thank you all for your advice, i believe i am going to go with tealady's ( it seems to be the most polite and sensitive way to go) i would love to tell her what i really think about it but, she did not do it to be rude or mock - she just is not into fashion at all and really doesn't know the difference or care to know to the difference, she is busy having babies and stuff-- and even though i will continually put if off it was the thought that counts and the more i think about it the more i realize that. thanks again everyone

You're quite welcome!!!

ROFL. that's very slick.

Insult her for picking out such a "skanky ***" gift and then offer it to her?


Makes lots of sense.


It was a nice gesture, if anything. I dont think being mean about it would work.

rofl. i wasnt being serious. people come on. its just a purse.

I would suggest only carrying it to her house or something. That way, she's happy because she sees you carrying it, and the streets remain safe because you won't be carrying it outside

Whats the big deal.. wear it out.. who cares...Are you more ashamed to carry it thinking ppl will see u with a fake.. or are u against this whole fake handbag stuff? What if it looked real..would it make a difference?

I also agree with teladys idea ....if u really dont want to wear it out..
