i would never approach anyone and confront them about carrying a fake.. but i might mumble something under my breath but made sure they heard me, hehe

I had read once that a very prominent Asian diplomat and his wife were invited to a Louis Vuitton event in Paris, and the wife sported a fake LV. The story goes, when she met the host, (who was either a relative of Vuitton or the company president), he immediately demanded she leave the event. Not sure if this is an urban legend, but it wouldn't surprise me one bit !!

I have a Kate Spade I was told was a fake. It belonged to my daughters sis in law she swears it isnt fake. But ebay Vera said it was ,,alas!

... I Love my Kate Spade bag I won from here... lol.

I would never get over the embarrassment of having a designer walk up to me and tell me my bag is fake.

Awwww... ok some kate spade bags do not look too fab. but i love their colors!!! I own a few kate spade products (3 bags - 1 tote which i absolutely love and i carry it for school, another hand carry tote which I have not used, a drawstring leather handbag in brown, totally cute too + 1 wallet) and was told my Kate Spade wallet looks cute by a cashier

Anyways, i think some of their bags are pretty cute, especially because I love the youthful and vibrant energy/vibe of some of the bags (which I'm sure some would consider way too obnoxious looking or loud). Depends on the occasion though... their bags are usually pretty practical, I feel..cos its simple enough for everyday use. I'm just drawn to the youthful colors and a kate spade bag is usually affordable, so you can buy 1 or 2 (in a mth) without stretching your paycheck

Oh speaking of plain looking bags... I think Prada is horrible looking (no offense to ppl who love prada products). Even the authentic ones look like knock-offs (sorry no offense again to ppl who love prada bags!).

But yeah, I agree... one reason why i dont carry a fake is cos there is always someone who will be able to spot a fake and call you out on that. And if you carry a fake knowingly (if its a gift and u dont know any better, then u should be excused) and someone u know calls you out, whatever authentic designer goods that you own will immediately be called into suspicion. So yeah, not worth risking it!

ive been seeing quite a few gals carrying a Chanel bag that looks horrendous (no offense to Chanel bag lovers! Some designs look adorable too..except for this particular one). It looks like a fake but I dont know Chanel bags enough ... huge Chanel logo in white on the side of a black bag... It looks really obnoxious and plain :P

I agree about some people not knowing they have replicas. I saw a lady the other day with a cole haan that looked very strange to me. Do they even make fake cole haan bags? I kept staring at her bag and when she turned around all I could say was "Is that Cole Haan?" She said yes I got it in Atlanta..and I was still not convinced that it was real because I've seen them many times before and it just looked really off..I'm sure if I were Kate Spade and put as much time and energy into producing my own handbag line, then I would definitely have the nerve to approach someone about a fake. Good for her! She needs to stand up and call them out!

Thanks for the Kate love! I was starting to feel alone in here. I love her stuff, and it's only gotten better IMO. Also I agree that some Chanel bags are a little...much. Not all, but some. I am more of a classics type girl anyway. And the fakes are even sadder.
