    The whole fake bags thing is something else I don't get either.
    ...and it's such a bitch to sometimes find the right bag without the logos....my latest investment (not purchase) is a great well-built, shoulder- and hand-strap, black capacious bag with only a dangly removable (done) attachment showing the Rabeanco brand

    So what if a woman turned up at a fancy wedding without a handbag at all... would that be some kind of fashion faux pas?

    Otherwise it could be a handy way to sidestep the whole problem. Just dump all the random crap into some bag carried by her husband. And as he's a guy, he doesn't have to possess any fashion sense that requires an expensive container.

    In olden days (and I'm talking 20-30 years ago) women in India would use their blouse to store their wallets.

    Now feeling slightly embarrassed to say that I'm one of the former....I can spot a real bag at 10 paces, and often tell you how current it is (i.e. this season, last season etc). And don't get me started on shoes.

    BUT I don't understand fake bags at all (or fake anything to be honest). When I buy an expensive bag, it's for the quality of construction not the label. Anything with an obvious logo seems me screaming in the opposite direction. Whereas fake bag buyers seem to just want the bags for status and posing around with - actually, there seems to be a certain element of genuine bag buyers who also buy them for status (Louis Vuitton springs to mind).

    I tend to buy bags by British designer Anya Hindmarch as the quality is amazing and the branding so discreet that only other fans of her bags are likely to recognise them. I also very rarely pay full price. If you know where to shop and you time it right, 50%+ discount is very achievable. Most of my genuine bags cost less to buy than the fakes in Shenzhen. And the real thing lasts forever. I've actually specified in my will who I'm leaving my bags to (I see them as an investment). Maybe the reason I can find discounts is because no-one wants bags that don't have big logos (except me lol).

    Embarrassed at revealing I have such a girlie side so I will now crawl away and hide until we digress on to homeopathy for Muslim cats.

    Oh dear! The image is not stuck in mind just as the can of coke.
