It just had to be said.C-Ham, se...Seth, I'm sorry. It just had to be said.<BR/><BR/>C-Ham, see the thing about designer bags is (and I can say this because I've used one for four days now), is that they function WAY BETTER! Seriously. I'm not making that up. They're expensive for a reason. I don't blame anyone for wanting one! Aaaaand, they do look pretty rad, I have to say.FancyPantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00051762758211575101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354172197004069242.post-35493277853104206752008-10-25T11:09:00.000-06:002008-10-25T11:09:00.000-06:00Yeah, if it had come from anyone else, we'd think ...Yeah, if it had come from anyone else, we'd think it was fake too... however, it came from a prominent FOX news anchor from up here who - from what we are told - never buys anything fake and shops... a lot at expensive stores. Can't go into how much she'll drop in a day, but you can imagine. I went to the fake site-spotting sites to check the authenticity just for the heck of it, and I think it checks out. We thought about selling it on Ebay but decided it would be a pain in the butt.Seth Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02027729307468958273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354172197004069242.post-34715906759191407802008-10-25T09:29:00.000-06:002008-10-25T09:29:00.000-06:00I don't normally know anything about designer name...I don't normally know anything about designer names and stuff either, but I've actually heard of Louis Vuitton. Nanx brought a bag home that she got for a few bucks at the Goodwill and was thrilled that it was a Louis Vuitton bag. But she figured it was probably a fake, since it would have been worth several hundred dollars if it were real.<BR/><BR/>So one weekend I drove her down to the rich-people's mall, where we almost never go, and she went to the Louis Vuitton store to ask them to look at it and see if it was real or fake.<BR/><BR/>Turns out it was a fake, but even the guy at the store agreed it was one of the better fakes he'd seen. I guess there was a wrong serial number on the inside that was a dead giveaway, and something subtle but wrong about the logo on the label.<BR/><BR/>Nanx has been trying hard to get me to understand the difference between designer stuff and regular cheap stuff. But I'm very much a function-over-form pragmatist, and don't get that there is so much disparity in the value of two nearly-identical bags, just because one is "designer" and one's a fake.Chaotic Hammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17713799579650424883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354172197004069242.post-84365222467373100942008-10-25T01:38:00.000-06:002008-10-25T01:38:00.000-06:00Hey, I was just minutes out of bed... pthhhhh!Hey, I was just minutes out of bed... pthhhhh!Seth Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02027729307468958273noreply@blogger.com
