How to Spot a Fake Purse


Tyra reveals some of the top bags to be copied on the black market, and how to tell if you're being scammed by a vendor.

Hey Tyra,
I may be young, but I think that your show is truly amazing. You don't just educate those who watch, but you put some spunk in it to! The episode about "Tyra's Teenville" really made me think. I thought about how I've fought with some of my friends over political or religious disagreements in the past, and how most adults don't think that teens really talk about that stuff, when they really do. When Ashley stated that she wasn't a virgin, I was surprised, but I didn't judge her by it, and honestly, it made me kinda mad that some of the teens did judge her by that, but I understood why they did it. And when another stated that he was gay, I was proud of him for saying it with pride because I know many are very rude to those who choose to be gay or lesbian. But hopefully, now parents know that they're kids do go through similar problems they encounter also, and may be more understanding of why teens don't always want to talk to their parents about their problems. If their friends don't understand, why would their parents.

Tyra its very easy for someone like you (rich) to tell someone like me (not rich)not to purchase a knockoff handbag. Everyone wants to be in fashion and if the celebrities are wearing the latest then we all want the latest. Thats just the way it is. Most people who purchase knockoffs already know that its a knockoff. I have a really good knockoff that I get complimented on all the time. Most people who buy knockoffs cant afford to purchase the real thing so as long as they make them.....I WILL BUY THEM!!!!!

Sarah, Traci, & Wendie -- Listen carefully to context: Neither Tyra nor I believe that it's "OK" to buy a fake as a matter of principle. In the U.S., however, it is LEGAL to do so, unlike in France or Italy. Many people disagree with this, but that is the current state of the law.

Hi Tyra my name is Maite and I am 13 years old I LOVE your show I watch it every day!!!! I especialy love your so what movement because I have thist birthmark on my right arm and I HATE it I would were sweeters and long sleves even in the summer just to cover it up and if i dont have any sweeters or long sleves I were lots of bracelets or rubber bands on it to hide it! But now that I have seen you so what movement it dosent bother me that much. My docter still wants it removed because of my health but It isnt a selfesteam problem anymore. Thank You!

Hi Tyra, my name is Emily, and I am 14 years old. I just watched your show about fake purses. I think that's really great because my mom has recently bought fake purses not knowing it. She bought them from a company over in Japan, and she thought she was getting such a great deal. She ended up spending $500 on fake Coach purses. She can't sell them on Ebay because of thier policies. I just think it's REALLY good that you're informing people about what can happen if you buy something over the internet. Especilly purses. There is A LOT of fakes out there. I LOVE YOUR SHOW BY THE WAY

Hello Tyra,
I just wanted to let you know how much you have empowered me to be a better role model myself. A year and four months ago I had fraturnal twin boys and being only 5'3and 1/2" tall and size 3 pants i expanded perfusely. I carried full term and a cesarean was scheduled only two weeks early it looked as though i had a watermelon or 2 basketballs inside me, I had and almost 5 pounder and an almost 7 pounder pull out of me and a year later i felt horrible, i always had sexy abs and now just flabby skin is wrinkling underneath i built strong abs trying to make it dissapate, i saw your show and i feel so what my belly is not the same and probably will never be the same , I have two miracles who were inside me and love every moment!! Kudos to you and your so what movement.

Hey Tyra, Im 13 and i LOVE ur show !!! I espeacially luved ur so what campaign!! I look up 2 u and i think ur a great person !!! I wish i could come to ur show . Im glad u did a show for same sex domestic violence .It just seems like the gay community gets pasted by so much.

Tyra, I wanted to tell you that I am very proud to see a young black women who is worthy of being a role model to young women all over the world keep up the good work. Now my question is what do you suggest to someone who wants to model but is not so young. I am 29 years old (I look about 20) I have always wanted to model but never had the money in the past to get things started (compcards/pictures). I am 5'6 1/2 so I usually miss the height requirements to get involved with many agencies. I am currenty with a casting agency but again the height comes in to play. Got any advice for someone not wanting to give up on there dream?

hay tyra! i think that you should feature christina aguilera on your next show. she is such a great role model for young women everywhere. her lyrics are empowering and gives strength to the people out there going through the same situations and issues she sings about. her courage to talk about a rough childhood and an abusive dad made me admire her even more. and not only is she a beautiful women inside and out, but she has such an AMAZING and powerful voice.

Hello Tyra!
I'm a big fan of yours and I love your show. I have one question, how can i get into modeling even though I'm short?

Ok so whats really cool, is I found my REAL LV purse at GOODWILL! In total I have paid 30 bucks. 5 for the purse and 25 for the handle being reattached and for the zipper to be fixed. The things to look for:
If it has NO leather on it, its fake. LV has complete leather parts on their purses, nothing else. Including the purse body. The entire thing should be leather, leather, and more leather!
If the inside pockets are stitched it, its fake. LV tends to use a "glue" that keeps it in place.
Just thought I'd throw my 2 cents it!! :)

You missed a few things on your presentation on Louis Vuitton.

A real Louis Vuitton will never have tags attached to it (usually tags are placed in the pocket or in the box).

A real Louis Vuitton will not have a "green envelop and card" or a yellow card with it.

Finally, a Louis Vuitton will never have a yellow disk with a string on it.

hey tyra my name is reyna i wanted to let you know that you are my idol i look up to you im kind of upset that you moved your show to New York since i live in the O.C im turning 18 soon and i am willing to travel to New York just to gop see your show!

Hi Tyra,
I just love your humour & your shows... made me giggle lots today. I wanted to bring my fur coat on your show today to see if its Real or Fake but you didn't talk about fake furs today. Hping to hear from you.

Hi Tyra:

Have you heard about the horrific story of "Jena 6" in Louisiana? It's horrible and the news media is not covering this story at all. I think it's horrible for the media to broadcast what Lohan or Britney Spears is wearing but they won't cover the injustice in America. Six boys might face up to 22 years in prison for a highschool fight.... And no one seems to care. Please Help!!!!

Your show on fakes was about one of the worst disservices I've ever seen to those that fight counterfeit sales in the US daily.

I will never watch your show again after the FALSE information you gave and the message that it was o.k. to buy counterfeits.

That's your friend who was caught? I hope they get 40 years in jail and the maximum penalty allowed by law - loss of their assets and their bank accounts.

Your comments about an LV not being cut off - WRONG. Do some research before you put out on the airways WRONG information!!

What a complete joke. You should be ashamed of yourself, and of your show.

Way to go, Tyra supports terrorism by stating it's o.k. to buy a fake.

Disgusting.

tyra please help me find my friend i havent heard from her in five years her name is nilah edwards she lived in brooklyn new york she went to somers elementary school and george wingate highschool and she is around the age 20-22

hey tyra
i must say that you my role model...i like everything about you,i dont miss your show,i wish you could come to South Africa...i would love to meet you...

What if u really cant tell thah is why tyra's telling people how to tell the difference . I cant afford them but i save ocassionaly
for at least one every month so people please stop buying fakes it's us who R part of the problem because we keep buying them .so if u dont have the money for it just save and u will be able to afford it.all of this will stop and the problem will be over and there will be less and less people selling fakes in the black market and in the streets.THANK U FOR READING MY MESSAGE.

tyra your show is awesome your my idol you inspire me everyday of my life..i wish you could move your show over here to watsonville and i will come everyday
