Fake designer goods - yes or no?

[sarahbeth564]

I don't like the idea of someone stealing the design of someone else, but at the same time I think its ridiculous to spend so much money on a bag! You're basically paying the company so much stinking money to advertise for them. You're just a pawn in a big game where they can lure more people in because you're a walking advertisement.

& I love that game

Consumer Whore right here! Why else would I spend 300$ on a pair of jeans? or 18$ for an eyeshadow? hee.

Well, if you can´t afford the real stuff, just get something within your budget, expecially when it´s obvious something is fake because of the bad quality.

ten bucks?
Cha, here fake LVs are running at about 90 bucks! :/


I hate fakes.

I went to one of those "purse parties" a few weeks ago. My friend was hosting. I was really surprised at how expensive they were. Most were well over $100. I didn't buy anything, mostly because of the price. One particular faux Prada was very tempting, but I couldn't justify $150 for a fake, when I could buy a new authentic Coach for a little more.
