I was browsing in my favourite local charity shop when I noticed great excitement among the volunteers as they unpacked the latest donations.
After much consideration and consultation with the lady working in the office, they declared 'it's authentic' and put the bag out for sale.
Not being au fait with Louis Vuitton bags, either real or fake, I examined it, decided it was a well made leather bag and purchased. A quick google search when I got home, revealed that it was indeed fake. It was still a bargain as I hadn't realised that fake or 'replica' designer bags can cost hundreds of Euros.
Not sure how I feel about walking around with it, do I want to be seen as someone who buys a fake bag or equally as bad, someone who spends an obscene amount of money on a fashion statement.
