And seriously, do you think all those people carrying around LV bags are really carrying the real thing?[/quote]
No, they don’t all carry the real thing. But I can tell the real thing from the fake just at a glance. It’s all in the leather trim. I have lots of experience shopping the bazaars of Asia. 😉
I myself have a fake LV wallet that is just like the real one. There are different quality fakes.
BTW, my friend from Taiwan who visits me every year for shopping says that Coach is the brand to carry daily for the professional office. Don’t need to be too showy at work, she says.
LV and Chanel are for going out.
This past holiday we went to the outlets in Carlsbad and Palm Springs. The Asians were out shopping in droves. Maybe 50% Asian customers. It was a mad house.[/quote]
The Carlsbad Outlet Mall has long been a regular stop for the Asian tourists. All through the downturn, they were keeping that place in business. It never really slowed down there, thanks to all the tourists. I’ve always thought it was strange that they would visit a foreign country and make stops at…malls. Weird.
