One, Two... Many Rants

Outlet prices? $200-$300 USD

The outlet here is constantly having 50% off sales. So they drop in half. Get them off the clearance racks and they can be even cheaper. Like the wallet sized bag my wife got was only $32, regularly $90. The new leather bag was $120 something, regularly $300.

coach at the outlet malls go for anywhere from $60 for smaller bags to $400 for larger, newer styles. i think they can go up to $800+ at regular department stores? not sure.

LV, Prada - 4 figures, but worth every cent for a classic, lifetime purchase

And I like my bag to be soft and not like a box

Whatever, I buy my fake Michael Kors in chinatown. Low two figures.

Coach, LV, or what have you, none of these bags are costing the companies more than $20 to make, and more likely less than 10. Its all in the name and hype.

i agree that 90% of the price tag is the name and hype...but i feel the workmanship is executed much better than any knockoff or non-brand bag out there. these bags can last a lifetime, and can be handed down to your kids, even, if maintained properly.

same thing with shoes.

My fake bags have held up pretty well, much much better than a price equivalent at a retail store like Target.

Filipino = Brand Crazy and I'm crazy about my wife, so if it makes her happy, I'm happy.

noooo nola don't support piracy! the knockoff industry is famous for using sweatshop labor, and has links to human trafficking, the mob, etc.

i know a lot of designers have factories in developing countries where sweatshop labour is also a problem, but they are held to more accountability than the average joe selling knockoffs from a pushcart.
