...when I first saw this thread title, I bit my tongue so hard it bled ...
but I think I have it under control now
... and since i have a hard time resisting fashion topics anyways.
re: d & b bags - hmm, not at all my style but if it really makes you happy, rock it.
keep in mind also they make some ok bags that are a bit more low-key (if you like them for the name/quality, not necessarily logo).
re: the price - eh, I'd have no problem paying for a pricey bag if I could afford it.
re: knockoffs - I'm torn. Money is the problem, really. and there's a grey area ... from 'inspired by's' to full-on fakes. some knockoffs are the epitome of tack (fake lv, anyone?) ... but on the other hand, for example, I would love a Balenciaga Le Dix, and I doubt I'd be able to afford a real one for a couple/few years ... I admit, I've looked on a few sites .... considered ... still considering ...
re: bags in general - eh, I'm boring, at the moment. Using a large black Hype Durango that I got at tjmaxx for 1/2 retail. matches my 'style', roomy, can carry in hand or on shoulder, decent quality.
re: the site mal posted - heh, cool site, almost
too cheap though. I guess for me, if I'm going to do a 'fake' I don't want it to scream 'fake!'.
on the other hand, sometimes I think it could be fun to have some things ...
