Louis Vuitton Purses...Wallets...Handbags..., all that expensive stuff! Options

[heyyfrankie]

okay, well since school started about a month ago, i have noticed ALOT of girls with Louis Vuitton Purses and other excessories. and i don't know about where you live but in texas we have those fake ones with the spades, hearts, daisy flowers, ect. and then girls tell me that there are fake ones that look just like the real ones but aren't really real. wtf?!?

for all you girls out there... Why do so many people want those purses? they look like any other leather purse with some four pointed flower and other designs? just someone tell me why!

[*tweeak*]

i could care less. theyre not worth the money, and theyre not even that cute

[Yemmerz]

Cause their favorite celebs wear them and no one is original =)

[*AngelicEyz00*]

Dude, the majority of them... are... FAKE!!

I swear, like everyone in San Diego owns one... everyone and their mommas.. and I'm telling you, most of them are fake...

I dunno, meh... I don't like walking around with fake things... cuz I'm just weird like that I guess...

I have a coach purse... real.. I <3 it... but I was able to afford it, so don't call me crazy for spending... well, over $100 on a purse

[miszkristinexox]

yeah since i live in texas, i see the same fake purses you do. the only one real one ive seen, is this seniors lv messenger bag. i think they are like horrible looking [the fake ones]

[happygoluckyng]

yah most are fake even though I got one in the nuetral colors.... its' 100% real...

[ethixfantazia]

yeah, since i live in texas too, a lot of em are fake... but then again, some ppl in my old school had some REAL lv's so.... and i want this one messenger bag, and i get it when i get the money, which is not in a while, so...

reason's why they're pop...
1. having those bags shows off how reach u really are....
2. having a fake one means ur smart enough to get something that looks the same and pay less...

[shawty_redd]

lol i have a jlo purse which was like $100 and i have a picture bag too and that was like $50 but i dont got a LV purse...yet
most of them are fake but some of my friends are flip so they go there all the time and bring back the fake ones.

[inthemudhole]

I actually could care less.
I just use a wallet. ^_^ Works for me.

[*lolita kitty*]

I actually could care less.
I just use a wallet. ^_^ Works for me.

hah same here
i go to claires and get a tinkerbell wallet
then thats it
hah

[sammi rules you]

i have a fake LV purse that looks like the real one.. i just bought it cause it's cute..with the logo and symbols all over it..

i just think designer purses are cute. i'm getting a fake gucci one soon..

[mizz_mithy]

my freidn has two louis vuttion purses. their cute and all but u can purses cheaper at other stores. i use my old navy purse lol and i think it's just as sute. i don't get why it's so bad to get a fake gucci purse. i have a fake gucci purse and all my friends were all like "psshhh so cheap." i'd rather be cheap than waste my money on $200+ purse.

[IIO__oII]

alot of people get em from downtown. the best place to go to get fake/pirated stuff. hehe :]

personally, i dont like that design.

[Flaunted]

picked one up at new york chinatown!!
haha it was funny to see the owners trying to make it all secret and stuff.
but i wouldn't buy a real one. i rather get clothes.

[sheepy]

haha i would love to noe why. dere soo o_O

[shortvi3tlaydee]

i noe seriously O_O u can get cuter wunz for wayyy cheaper if u noe the riote stores ^_^

[silver-rain]

eh, i like them. but yeah, everyone has them! but i just want the wallet one or that handbag.

[LiNHy POO]

haha really! it's a trend this year! louis vuitton! if they cant afford it they'll get the look a likes! but yehh i have a few with the belts to match. and yehh i consider them fake. well except one.

[sweetdreamsx3]

I agree completely with "my_papaya". The designs aren't even that cute and the colors are just ugly. This is just my opinion, but what's so special about it? It looks effing ugly.

[angel-roh]

well i dont reallie care about purses... i just get whatever i want but then i reallie dont get why ppls like getting expensive purses cause they want ppls to think that they are rich or something? hehe... but i dont know some of my friend who has the real louis vuitton that they bought at new york was just for a new look... they just wanted ppls to think my friends just want some refresh look and also make them think that my friends are not that poor heh...

[C.Lime.Jello.]

-coughs-
Forgive me for being a fashion idiot....
But what the effing hell is Lousis Vuitton?!
o.O I don't even have any purses....
Well.... I got my bowling bag... If you consider that a purse.

[rainnydaiis]

I got a LV wallet was about 260... lolz

[s0pnayish]

Dude, the majority of them... are... FAKE!!

I swear, like everyone in San Diego owns one... everyone and their mommas.. and I'm telling you, most of them are fake...

I dunno, meh... I don't like walking around with fake things... cuz I'm just weird like that I guess...

I have a coach purse... real.. I <3 it... but I was able to afford it, so don't call me crazy for spending... well, over $100 on a purse

I agree. A majority of them are fake, but yet they look so real.

And just like her, I've got a real Coach purse. Though I didn't pay the original price for the purse [$140], I paid only about $110 for my purse since I got at the Navy Exchange. And yes, it is real, because it has a serial number with it.

[Gypsy Eyes]

i dont think they are worth the money. in my opinion they are ugly and everyone has them which means i refuse to. I make my own bags or buy them at like hot topic or vintage stores

[lookitskim]

a purse is a purse... it all works the same way...

I bet those purse are fake anyways.. hahaha

U know how u can tell if it's a fake LV?? Just line up the pattern where the seam is.. If it doesn't line up exactly the same then it's fake.. haha my friend told me that.. and i went to go check it out..

[faithin_felix]

i heard they sell a lot of fake ones =S

[WhiteLotus*]

I got a fake one at the Orange County Swap Meet for $2 . But I only use it on special occasions. It's fake cause LV doesnt make black bags i think....And you can tell it's fake because it's sorta poorly put together.

[*stephinika*]

oh there's plenty of fakes. its cheaper and some are pretty close. but the whole wanting the expensive brand thing? its all status. haha i never really liked those purses anyways...they're nice but i'd never buy one...

[vivieeeen]

U know how u can tell if it's a fake LV?? Just line up the pattern where the seam is..  If it doesn't line up exactly the same then it's fake.. haha my friend told me that.. and i went to go check it out.. 

that, and the zipppers

AND, yes most of them are fake.
Makes people NOT want to carry them around anymore..

so.... we stick with burberry muahaha
nah... no.. not really...
honestly, what's the point in wearing them to school. it's just.... another home ....

[leeeza702]

I agree. A majority of them are fake, but yet they look so real.

And just like her, I've got a real Coach purse. Though I didn't pay the original price for the purse [$140], I paid only about $110 for my purse since I got at the Navy Exchange. And yes, it is real, because it has a serial number with it.

Just like you and Elba... I have a real Coach purse also... my sister used to work at Dillards and got me a discount on it.. so I didn't pay that much for it...

Yeah, it's true that a purse is just a purse.. but then that's also saying a shirt is just a shirt, shoes are just shoes... etc... I mean, why buy brand name shoes and clothes when you can buy shoes and clothes at WalMart or the swap meet.. or wherever.. I mean, they all work the same right??

[Levy2k6]

i just think its a spend of money.. if the thing washed itself and lasted like 10 years, thats a good buy. lol.

[captured_serenit...]

i think they just want to buy those things to show off that they have the money and the expense.

[pbear]

My sister got a fake one because she actually likes the design.
I don't like them, so I didn't get one.

[mznina]

because everyone wants the designer brands. and of cause LV is the most popular.

[koreansaga510]

i got a LV wallet.. its about $430, but the girls i see them wearing are like those weird colorful ones..

[*basick*]

i have a real LV wallet too. and a couple of fake belts.

[iced__cappucino]

i think the LV rainbow on white so sexy. but my mom said the person who solde it said the rb/white was out of style. WELL I THINK ITS SEXY! neways. my mom got a LVpurse which is like 90% real and 10% fake..so 85 bucks. but its big. haha. and my mom doenst watch mtv. but she thinks the LV purse is noce. so...yeah. haha

[abercrombiekid]

you know whats hot?

get yourself a jack spade messenger bag. real hot.

[dani41790]

i dont get why some gurls like them. i guess its cuz its name brand

[expoised]

d then girls tell me that there are fake ones that look just like the real ones but aren't really real. wtf?!? 

they're called knock-offs. its also a RIPOFF to get them in texas (especially houston) because they sell the knock-offs for 100+ dollars. in NY you can get them for &50 or less.

you're a guy. you wouldn't understand.

90% real and 10% fake

not possible. its either real or its fake.

the fake luis i bought in NYC 42nd street's probably stolen. it has the original serial code number and the original stuffing. i dont care. its nice.

[LatinaLady]

i dont like those. ir ather get the real things. i mean they do look good but naw not my style.

[Mireh]

Thats why you get the bootlegged ones. ;0

[x3chrissyx3]

I have a real LV - it's cute, I like it. I want a little Coach one too.
But...ya know, I'm insane spending so much money on a PURSE

[nyCzxfOx]

LV and Coach and something else and live strong bracelets and "so low" pants are a trend now. Its irratating. Because I had the Rainbow letter white background LV bag BEFORE it became a trend. Then I gave it to my friend who REALLY liked it who moved. Then it became a trend. And people say some girl started the trend. Whatever.

[ThePrincessofTKD]

pfft. a real louis vuitton WALLET would cost $300. i live in texas and i KNOW how a real purse would look like....man...how ironic i wrote this in my xanga entry.

i`m tired of those pattern purses.....i just bought myself a j.lo purse. lol!! pfft..i don`t have to prove that`s real. the price is enough.

a louis vuitton purse that costs $100 wouldn`t be reasonable.

OHH! i remember this little girl and her mom had matching purses. it`s real because they were in the effing store buying more purses. geeze..the girl was only EIGHT YEARS OLD!!

[EDIT]

WAYS TO TELL IF THE LV PURSE IS FAKE OR ANY DESIGNER PURSE
1. the pattern
2. the color
3. the cloth
4. the person [study the person wearing the purse. it will help.]
5. the cost of purse [would a real LV purse cost $50-$200? pfft. i don`t think so.]

mostly everyone made a good point. go yall!!!

[rainnydaiis]

My luis wallet was about 180...

i think dior bags are good looking on girls =P

[Just_Dream]

Hahha yes, once I get a job, I'mg etting one.. Actually, I think I'mg etting a Coach one for Christmas... About $125. Personally, I think Coach has more cuter styles because alot of the LV ones I see look sorta ugly. I only like the croissant and 2 other styles (forgot the name) from LV. All the rest look a little.. O_o haha Yes, my half sister, sister in law, and my half-siter's friends love those purses. Of course, they get the real thing But then again, they have jobs where they can spend 600$ on purses.

I think Burberry purses are cuter. The design of it is cute =P

[sophie_007]

LMFAO today i went to chinese skool nd i saw my teacher having a Louis Vuitton pencil case! LMFAO i dunno why thats funny.my cousin told me theyre like 1200$ for like a small wallet.i think theyre expensive bcuz its like brand name from Italian designers.most ppl like it bcuz its brand name and popular.most of them are fake newaiz.

[Just_Dream]

There's a REAL Louis Vuitton store in my city.. It recently opened sometime like in uh.. June? I forgot.. But anyways it opened in the mall in my city, Fashio Valley mall. Yep my sister bought a 500 dollar purse there.. The purse was cute =P

[xx angelbabu xx]

i don't get why every girl thinks it's a neccessity to have a lv or a coach or prada purse.. a purse is a purse.. jeez..

i saw these little girls at the mall once.. they couldnt have been more than like 10 years old.. and they were freaking carrying coach purses and acting like they were all that...

what is this world coming to?! whatever happened to just stuffing your money in your pockets?

[magnificentmike]

theres this girl at my school and she has like louis vuitton belt and sh*t, she's hella rich too

i don't get why every girl thinks it's a neccessity to have a lv or a coach or prada purse.. a purse is a purse.. jeez..

lol i know! gosh, my mom has a coach purse and when i was eating she was like yelling at me not to spill on it..

[royalfreshness]

okay, well since school started about a month ago, i have noticed ALOT of girls with Louis Vuitton Purses and other excessories. and i don't know about where you live but in texas we have those fake ones with the spades, hearts, daisy flowers, ect. and then girls tell me that there are fake ones that look just like the real ones but aren't really real. wtf?!?

for all you girls out there... Why do so many people want those purses? they look like any other leather purse with some four pointed flower and other designs? just someone tell me why!

i have some friends that have teh bags and stuff (reall ones) and i wonder .. where the heck do they get the money to buy all this shiz!!

i think they are a waist of money and i could use that money for something better

like college when i get there xD

[azaleafrends17]

I don't care...but I haven't seen that much of girls here in France wearing it...

Wrhona

[s0emotionalx3]

Haha I can't really tell the difference from a real LV purse and a fake one, but i think they're both kind of ugly. I personally think it's stupid to buy a purse for its brand. I prefer buying whatever I think is cute for way less. Why do people think theyre so cute? Theyre so plain except for the brand name.

[1--GIRL]

I don't like LV bags.. they cost too much and I don't think they look nice.. but of course, if I had the money I'd buy a couple LV accesories. lol

[*Fallen_Fairy*]

funny thing, one day i bought the wallet... when i walked out of the mall i no longer had any money to put in it...

now you will find my ass at sam moon buying knock offs

[01-supergirl]

I guess its everywhere. 7 year old kids here wear them too, hahas. So there really is no point in getting a real one, no one would really go up to you and feel your bag. Unless it looks really fake, but if you want a bag that lasts long, then LV is one of them that does.

[hunnigurl01]

i have one . .. . a louis vuitton murakami and a origianal LV. i dont use them a lot. . . . but i love MY C0ACH BAG! haha! its sh0 exi sexy!

[*x____duckii*]

Louis Vuitton purses are ugly. They're not worth anything.

[imadorkabledxd]

yea there's a lot of fake ones. but i heard there's different classes of fakeness. i think japan makes the best fake ones b/c it looks exactly like the real one. yea, at first i never understood why ppl would spend so much money on it, but i think the LV design looks really nice and maybe b/c my friends have it and the more i look at it the more i want it ? =P

[jennyjenny]

I don't use purses.

[nyctophiliac]

ehh...LV purses are alright, but they're really not my thing...i just like to use my one black purse with this heart thing on it...it's pretty cute lol

[candiceness]

i agree..i mean the only reason why everyone feens for the expensive bags are just because of the name brand..personally i think the original LV purses are pretty ugly. especially on teenage girls..there are WAY too many of them here in new york and they ALL walk around with the coach & dior. i'd understand if it was like, an adult carrying it around..or maybe a college student but a little 10 year old girl walking around the mall with a real coach bag is just stupid. and i dunno why but i also think coach is kinda ugly too..the beige original coach of course..the new colors blue and green are pretty colors though. but the designs just..ugly =/ dior bags are nice though..but i dnot think they're worth the money.

[muffin dude 292]

I used to be one of those girls that used to bring my Louis Vuitton Purse every where i go I just think know spending over 100 dollars for a purse is kind of stupid and i could buy other things with 100 dollars

[emptyminded]

I agree with most of you guys on this one. In general, all purses in general are getting uglier and uglier. Especially the designer ones. A purse is a purse. Plus it's pretty stupid if you spend a lot of money on one and it was trendy when you got it but then it's uncool- you're screwed. Oh and the whole bootleg thing is just pitiful. Get an original if you really want one. If you can't afford it too bad. That's what I think though.

[whywasisostupid]

i dont have a purse. i think their annoying. i gues thats becuz i dont have nething to put in it. stupid rich people

[177emories]

because everyone wants the designer brands. and of cause LV is the most popular.

cause ppl wants the designer stuff... and the ppl thats don't have the oney by the fake ones the ppl tahts have the oney buy more... i'm wiating to gte a lv damier canvas papillon when is my bday gonna come =(


heres my LV speedy 30 for $900 canadian dollars...
its really good quaility, lasts a long time... spacious for my stuff and it matches almost everything =)

[jr0h]

i know seriously. theyre just damn purses.

[xsweetxcandyx]

its human nature.. we want to show off........ but the fact is LV, Gucci.. etc are brands we buy because they cost a lot of money

i'll have a few of those purses.. but they're mostly for special occasions.. than again its very commom were i live

[innovation]

frankly, if my dad was an LA litigator with a seven-digit salary, i'd be wasting all my money on $400 purses, too. but he's not. and i'm just upper middle class. i mean, i think that teens should at least be secure in their college funds before spending so much on luxury purses.

[misoka]

ehhh I don't like purses. designer stuff...I say that's a waste of money. you could use it on better things than a $200 purse.

[RandomHero]

I don't like those. I don't really like purses.

[vivieeeen]

Louis Vuitton purses are ugly. They're not worth anything.

oh come on, you know they're not really..
unless... you were talking about those itsy bitsy tiny little ones.

the checkered ones are nice.
and the line from that Japanese fella are nice too.

and to be honest. LV is out... Porter is in. But not in the Western COuntries.. oh no..

but whatever.. I have none anyways. (I don't think I support LV)

if you yourself are beautiful, then whatever you wear is nothing.
Low self esteem is the reason why people buy designer things.
They think they're not beautiful enough, and that Beauty lies on the outside

[lilnatcat]

Well..........a lot of girls I see around have LV bags, purses, wallets, bags. But I'm guessing the majority of them are fakes.

I'm not really into Louis Vuitton....doesn't really suit me, the styles look too feminine........not my style of fashion.........it just look weird on me........it looks really nice on some people though~

[jaeman]

I feel like people are just wasting their money, buying expensive brand name products.
But hey, it keeps the economy going!

[xj_liana_tx]

how do you get fake purses anyways? i wanna know, anyways, well because the real ones are really expensive, so people like to show off

[sw33t_rouge]

in my oppinian i think its cheap to be walking around with a fake designer purse, (quote: stupid rich people) tell me how they became rich?? huh..? there education and they chose the right path...some people just like Lv Guccii Prada ...
( i like burberry better i have this purse thing i got furr x-mas it hot ^^)

[nyCzxfOx]

my town is to rich for fake stuff if someone has something fake they like bother them for the rest of their life in this town.. xDD

LV.. i have like 7 fake ones from my mom.. o_O;; but you cant tell bcus its the SAME color and real material and blah blah blah blah -_-;; according to her..
... i still have to get it checked i dont believe her.. but i DID bring it once to school
and people thought it was real o_O;; but all my other purses are real...

and this was the trend 2 years ago for me x]

[cmgchica717]

I do not really like them either. Everyone and their sister owns one of those fashion purses (BARF)

I refuse to be like everyone else!!

[teeners4]

the purses are only $100 in america? lol we have like $1000 purses in Vancouver. or maybe they're bigger? i dont know.

but anywho i think LV is super cute ^_^ but then i prefer original purses

[mirage]

i personally don't wear any purses... but if i do, i won't buy a fake one... it's kind of embarrassing

[*mona lisa*]

i like them i odn't have one because its too expensive, but i've seen people with fake ones that look so ugly and bad, and theyre so proud of it. i feel sooo bad for them, how embarrassing.

[miss barnes]

ohhh i love the LV purses! My mama is looking for one for me...a real one..i dont like fake because is just makes me feel weird. I do have a dooney & bourke and a coach. They cost over $100 but, my mama bought them...

[becomingAWARE]

they are more than likely fake...unless they are lined with suede, they are. lol. i was OBSESSSSED with them in 8th grade, but ive moved on. wayyyy overrated. lol.

[gelionie]

Yea... I don't see any point of owning them.

[*stephinika*]

haha i got one for christmas! i posted in here before saying they are nice and all but...whatever. i wouldn't buy it for myself but i got one for christmas. real of course.












nah. but i almost thought it was cause its a damn good fake. too lazy to take a pic right now...

[bad_girl]

dont worry. i dont like them either. in fact, i hate themm!! booooo!! (sorry to those who likes them.. i guess it's just my personal opinion).

my mom went in a LV shop in paris once.. it took her like 4 FRIGGIN HRS to get IN!

I refuse to be like everyone else!!

who cares about the trend? who cares what's "in"? with all those hairy stuff, i'd wheeze my nose off! mwah happens to be UNIQUE. =].

[moorepocket]

here a trick to tell if there fake or not.

• The fake one, on one side the texture is right side up, and the other side is upside down. They only one piece of leather, that's why it's upside down.
  
• The real one, they use multiple leather, so it's right side up in any direction. And that's the reason it's expensive

[sunissed14127]

people want them just for the label and to show it off and say "well I paid $200 for this purse." all the preppy people at my school either have Louis Vuitton, or Dooney & Booke (sp?). I personaly, wouldnt pay 200 dolars for a purse

[HeatherMoreno]

for all you girls out there...Why do so many people want those purses? they look like any other leather purse with some four pointed flower and other designs? just someone tell me why! 

Those bags are like so cute! Hello?! But I can't afford Louis Vuitton ones. Real or not real.

I got a Dooney & Bourke bag for a Christmas present though. It's one of those hot pink leather charmed ones. The newest ones I should say.

[HeatherMoreno]

In my opinion, I think people get those those kinds of purses just to show off their personality. I'm one of them.

[sweetxsimplicity]

DUDE, because it's Louis Vuitton.
But I like Coach better. =x

[xTINAA]

i have a fake LV purse that looks like the real one.. i just bought it cause it's cute..with the logo and symbols all over it..

i just think designer purses are cute. i'm getting a fake gucci one soon..

yeah i have a fake LV purse and wallet. i like the design and everything about it. and i have a fake coach bag too.

here a trick to tell if there fake or not.

The fake one, on one side the texture is right side up, and the other side is upside down. They only one piece of leather, that's why it's upside down.

The real one, they use multiple leather, so it's right side up in any direction. And that's the reason it's expensive

well that must not always be true because i own a fake LV and it's not upside down on any side. both sides are right side up.

[177emories]

the purses are only $100 in america? lol we have like $1000 purses in Vancouver. or maybe they're bigger? i dont know.

but anywho i think LV is super cute ^_^ but then i prefer original purses

yeah purses here in toronto cost more than 1000 for one too!! and now american money is sooo low we also have 15% tax lol... $1.00 amd = $1.20 cad and its getting lower...

i LOVE LV!!!~~~

[DittotoAnne18]

I dont really like LV, i wouldnt want one.

I do have a coach purse though, i got a $100 gift card for there last Christmas and the purse i wanted was $150 so i just paid the difference..i think it was worth it though, i use it a lot.

Coach purses are in the $100s and $200s, but LV are in the $600 and $700s..that is a huge difference.

[dani41790]

i have no clue

[OhXiet_ItzDonnA]

i just buy purse cuz they look cute

[*salcha*]

oh yes.
it might be this: freehandbags.com
almost as famous as freeipods.com
which is indeed real...

[shortee_]

I have Guess Purse barely even use it and I got it at one of those out lets.
But still majority of the people at my school have the real thing because
1)they're mommies and daddies are Loaded
2)they got it from Hong Kong.
3) they save up alot of money to get teh real thing.

and freehandbags.com and the ipods thing work in the states only.. so yah

[PinkTrash]

Id say theres no point of having a reall louis vutton accesory, so many people at my school have fake ones, if you waste your money buying a REAL one, people wouldnt know that, thinking it was another fake anyway
