Erm. We as a society are OBSESSED with brand name items, whether they be a purse or a pair of jeans. etc. I think it is a matter of personal financial situations and tastes. I understand and fully acknowledge that yes, there are people who cannot fully afford the cost of some of these luxury bags, however the point I am trying to raise, is that it does not stop them from attempting to purchase a replica of the item. In reality, if a a bag at the local flea market or posted online for a ridiculously low price -it will be fake, or stolen. If one desires to invest in a good leather bag, from whereever it may be -that will last a long some of time and will used to its full potential, I assume it is worth the effort. However, for those who are buying these bags for fashionable purposes, buy something smaller from the brand name itself -a wristlet, or make-up bag etc. They are considerably cheaper and achieve the same effect. :) AND , you can always buy yourself another one when you are sick of the print/ pattern.

To Kelly from Michigan honey if you are able to pay $5,000 or more for a bag/purse more power to you. But don't knock those woman who prefer to invest money in stock and bonds or something that will bring a return on their money other than a purse. If you are not paying $5,000 or more for your bags are probably fake/replicias. Trust me I know. And remember anything on your as$ is not an asset. You may be able to sell but you are not going to ever get what you paid for the bag. And what does it do for you. Women get over it. Trust me the bags the celebrities carry they get them for free that's how they become so popular. If Halle Berry is carrying Parda, LV or Herme Birkin bags guess what they know that people like us will sell our souls to get the same bag. Jsut some food for thought. You know why the rich get richer they don't pay for the things we covet.

The comments on the Coach bag were not entirely correct, specifically the 'Made in China' comment. Yes, new purses are NOW made in China, but older Coach purses were made in the USA. Tyra's friend should have went a bit further and included that to prevent a whole lot of women out there from thinking they have fake purses when indeed they do not. I have three purses here, all the same style and all bought through Coach - 2 were purchased years ago, one just recently. The 2 older ones are clearly marked on the inside they were made in the United States; the new one says it was made in China. All of them were purchased at Coach stores and there is no question they are authentic. I was not going to post this but thought it would help alot of people out there who may now be going into a tizzy about those two little words :)

Hi, I recently won an item on ebay.com and I have not paid for it yet, since I asked the seller some questions and did not answer me back, I do not know if the bag is authentic! It is an Armani Exchange star evening bag - basically it has a sequenced star and it is black leather. Inside there is a label apart from the silver metal a/x armani exchange one white that says 'Genuine Leather, Exclusive of Tri..(cannot see the rest of the word cause is hidden by the lining), Made in China, RN#91714 and CA#32528. What do you think?
Thanks for your help.. love your site!xx

Chanel Bags, Chanel Bags for sale, Cheap Chanel Bags, Buy Chanel Bags. 100%authentic, dont buy fakes!
I agree that these designers should get the full credit for their work, and therefore there shouldn't be fake ones floating around everywhere. I mean, if I were a designer I would be highly upset to see fake replicas of my design everywhere. But I also believe that, if these purses were made available to a greater majority of AVERAGE people, and not only the "rich and famous," there wouldn't be such a demand for fake ones. I don't agree with designers making their purses sell for "2000" dollars, which is a LOW estimate because I know some run into the tens-of-thousands. I just think that, if you don't want people to feel the urge to get fake ones, don't make the real ones the price of a new car.

In the segment of 'How to spot a fake purse' the last purse shown was introduced as a new designer. It sounded like she said it was an 'On & Off' purse. Does anyone know the name of this designer?

Hi Tyra-
Can you please do a show on "OUTRAGEOUS" wigs and pull that one you seem to adore off your head. I mean really- you and Beyonce are the reason young women aren't happy with themselves- you're a true disgrace.
Oh and those knock-offs were a joke---- Head to ChinaTown in NYC and see a lady named ming- you won't be able to tell the difference---TRUST!!
