I'm going to Chinatown tomorrow just to get a fake Marc Jacobs purse, and I'm planning to haggle down to like 10-20 bucks lol. Is that too much or little? I've never bought anything from Chinatown lol

Um well first of all, I personally wouldn't get a fake. I just have this thing against them, they're wrong for so many reasons. But whatever floats your boat. And I think $10 is probably too little. I'd say at least $20.

Yeah I hate fakes too, but I'm buying it as a temporary purse since I'm going to this student conference and the purse I normally use is too small. That's why I want it to be 10 bucks so I won't feel bad when I throw it out lol
I can only get the real one around Christmas if I beg LOL

Anyways thaanks I guess I'll try for it to be 15-20

I agree that $10 is to little. I have seen some relatively expensive fakes depending on quality. In a chinese mall once there was a fake burberry bag. But I swear you could not tell it was fake what so ever. It was like 90 bucks!

I hate fakes. Its just a way to rip off the designers. If you arent going to spend the money on a real one then just buy a regular purse.

(sorry about the rant :lol:)

I wouldnt pay a cent for a fake. I'd rather get the real thing.
If you cant afford the real thing, then get another purse. At least you can use it more then once and not throw it away.

I've seen fakes go over $100 >__<

if you like it enough, try and find something similar by a different designer / company.
to me, fakes are kind of like you want it for the name. there's a lot brands like bebe and guess which kind of 'copy' high end designers, and they look decent.
if you're going for a crappy fake, $10 might work. but for most of them, at least in vancouver, they're like 30+. REEEALLY bad quality ones (ie. really ugly) go for about 15 i guess?

Ohh believe I DID. I've been to 5 malls, and went literally into every store selling a purse. I seriously spent 10 hours looking for that purse on my weekend in like normal stores.

I don't want the purse for the Marc Jacobs name- I don't care if it says Marc Jacobs or not, I just love the style.

But yeah I'm just going to China to buy my fake [or real depending on my Grandpa lol]
