Pilfered Purses and Hot Handbags

Ways to tell if your couture handbag is an imposter:

1.  You bought it out of the back of a car.  ANYTHING that you buy out of the back of a car is FAKE - end of story.  Unless it's a kitten - and then- well - I think you're safe.

2.  You bought it at a local boutique - for $39.95.  It's fake.  It may look real.  It may feel real.  But, like cilicone and saline - it's not real.

3.  The woman selling it to you tells you that it was a "defect" item and that Mr. Vouitton sold it to her.  No, he didn't and no, he wouldn't.  Look around.  Are you standing in the middle of a flea market?  Are there giant "bloomers" hanging from a 2 x4 on your left?  Then it's NOT a real LV.  Sorry.

4.  No matter how many rhinestones and "genuine crystal" are adorning a pair of over-sized sunglasses - it still doesn't make them attractive or worth the extra $20 you will pay for the double C's next to your temple.  

5.  Finally, if the person selling you the designer item in question is missing any of the following:  teeth, eye, limb, finger - then you are not purchasing an authentic Kate Spade.  You are purchasing insurance.  For Benny to buy hisself some new toofers.

Here endeth the rant.
