Well, in all honesty, there are many fakes out there, that are somewhat well-made and can hoodwink even the most discriminating viewer. I have been fooled once or twice by a Faker. And, some fakes don't look so bad, either.
(Disclaimer: I am not encouraging counterfeiting)
Still, they shouldn't be purchased or the business of creating Fake anything encouraged and supported.

Well said, Abbie. Faux bags most certainly should Not be purchased as it is against the law. I always feel that if I cannot have the "real thing" I would rather not have it at all. Just my opinion, of course!

Yes, right you are. Even if you have to pay the bag off for the rest of your life, huh?

Same here. If we cannot afford to buy the real thing--then a faux bag just isn't going to do. No one should want to be so shallow of an individual that they would want to stoop to owning a faux bag just to impress??? There's too many beautiful and elegante non-designer bags out there to have to worry about stooping to owning a faux bag just because they would think it would be looked upon as more classy??? Don't get me wrong, we all adore the real 'designer" stuff out there. But there are plenty of classy non-designer goods out there that can be equated as classy on it's own imho!!

Princess Grace and Prince Rainier were doing the shooping as they were looking for a few toys for their future baby (1956)

At the risk of revealing one of life's great secrets, you can by genuine Chanel or whatever for a fraction of retail on ebay. It's either used, or an unwanted gift or the wrong size or an estate sale....

The only kind of 'real' fur items that we would want to wear would be is if they are already having been dead prior to our buying it.

we would hate to think of a poor defenseless animal being freshly killed when there are mountains of simply beautiful furs that have been around for years.

While we love the 'real' fur however, the faux fur is equally as glamourous as well!!! any opinions on this???
