    Designer Bag Copy

    I have been asked to help a friend back in the UK get a replica of a designer bag. She wants the best quality copy going and hopes to spend no more than 100GBP.

    I am new to HK and have no idea where to start, not to mention absolutely no idea when it comes to ladies handbags.

    If anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated.

    Mongkok ladies market.
    Go at night and not daytime. Ask for category A, they'll be in a flat around the corner from the stall.
    No idea on cost now but approx $700 a few years ago.

    You and your friend should really be ashamed of yourselves.

    As Jimbo says, chances are you will be shown some pictures and then asked to go up to a flat around the corner. Chances are the building will be dingy, narrow staircase and you'll end up in a small flat with a bunch of people.

    For someone who has not done this before and someone coming from the west, this will be a bit scary ;-) If you are scared of being locked in a tiny room with a bunch of strangers in a building you are not familiar with, you may wish to reconsider

    So should you, for recommending to dump unwanted electrical appliances in the middle of the night in Wanchai!

    Why should they? What's wrong with buying a fake bag, an "industry" which is strongly tied to the drugs trade and human trafficking, if they want to? All they want is a "copy bag" to show off to their friends how "clever" they are. Why should they care about the suffering of others? These fake bag buyers are probably also okay with fake medicines, fake baby milk powder and fake aeroplane parts, all of which kill people.
