Damier, Louis Vuitton Options

[fameONE]

I've mentioned this before, but I guess I can mention it again; the LV monogram pattern is played out. I see more fakes on a day to day basis of the classic Louis Vuitton monogram more than anything else. I know a few guys at my school that have fake Louis Vuitton 'pleather' goods with this specific pattern, and some of the fakes are pretty believable. So, to treat myself to an early graduation gift with some cash, I bought myself a wallet, but, I chose the Damier pattern. Now, I'm not naive enough to believe that vendors won't begin to sell fakes of this pattern once the popularity increases, however, Damier is hot right now, Monogram is not.

I saw lots of Damier knockoffs the last time I went to Beijing. But not so much in New York...here's what I found about knockoff qualities around the world.

In Beijing, the styles are much more current and more is available: you name a Louis Vuitton bag, they've got it. The quality is better too (if there is such a thing as a good quality knock-off). And you know, the "leather" actually smells like it.

In New York...it's all multicolore monogramme, or the cherries and whatnot. Mostly trendy stuff that appeals to the general public's knowledge of LV products (namely, the stuff 10 year old girls want). The quality...is bad. The stitching's off, the colours are badly off hue. Just...blah.

And that's my shopping tip for designer knockoffs.
