Some of these purses you can tell are fake, others you really have to look at the stitching - that’s why I go to NYC. I have the same Coach purse and another girl I work with and the only difference is one stitch on the right of the handle. You can also get the real thing in NYC for around $150… ---

well looking a carb for 300+ and a purse, i still think both are useless!!! but a girl can carry a nice purse EVERYDAY for what, a year? and 200-300 is too much?? yet they buy shoes for $75 and wear them maybe once every 2 months and it’s justified?.. dumb i like nice things and wanted to get nice things for jenn… so that’s what i did, i think it’s well worth it and if you ask her, i think she will agree. also, i dont’ care about imatation this and that… the difference, whether one thread or not, is that one is FAKE and one is real… i could care less how many people get fooled… it’s still a fake piece of shit at the end of the day! ---

I do agree though, just because some watches cost $10,000 and it tells time the same as my $20 timex, doesn’t mean a person who buys it is “stupid.” Some people say buying premium gas is stupid, but some of us know the difference. And some people have so much money that they don’t really care if they overpay. You can be pretty smart, but still have more money than brains. ---

But most times you are simply paying for a name not quality… I think that is part of the point some of us are trying to make. What if the KOHLs pants were made of a nicer material than the ones you buy now? Would you purchase the KOHLS pants or the more expensive ones because they are a name brand and not fake? ---

I’d be returning that purse for some cash, but I just like money more than purses. I got one of those gift bags from bath and body works with lotions and bath gels in them, i ripped those out and sat and admired the purse. So I could care less which style of coach or dooney and bourke purse I am carrying today, I got me a fuzzy purse from bath and body works! ---

i think $600 for a purse is ridiculous, but most women, not all, but most women have a different way of thinking than men. We get all excited over a $400 car part, and they could care less about it and dont see how we could justify paying that for it, But could justify spending $600 on a purse. Same thing works in reverse, we get excited over expensive electronics and car parts, they get excited over clothes, purses, and shoes. You have to learn to use it to your advantage though. If she chooses to buy a $200 pair of shoes, that not my problem, because I know she will get sick of them and they will sit in the closet after a month. But…a $200 shopping spree for my girlfriend will net me about $400 worth of car parts, so i let her go. I let her shop and then I say, well since you bought some things, i am going to buy some parts for the car, and since she is still in the giddy phase over her new purchase, i break out the debit card and start ordering from Summit. This only works within the first week or so of the shopping trip, because after that she is bored with her purchase, and then she doesn’t want you blowing money on car parts when her two week old shoes are already outdated. ---

Just like how I bought jewelery for my girl. I could have bought some crappy ass diamonds with no clarity, but I choose not to. If your going to spend the money why not spend it on something that is worth it. ---

If someone else bought ME a Coach purse, _and I liked it and it worked for me_ I’d dammed well keep that sucker. If it didn’t work I’d exchange it and get one that worked for me. If she doesn’t LIKE the purse and won’t CARRY it, then take it back, or exchange it if she likes the idea of having a Coach purse… I have two purses that my husband bought as gifts that I know cost in the $300 range (Brahmin) They will last for many more years. I’d rather have a well made purse that will last forever, than own fifteen $30 purses in 15 years… ---
