No one is arguing with you, just stating OUR opinions and facts about the knockoff industry. I'm sorry if you feel that you're being attacked in any way. Speaking for myself, all I wanted was for you to have all the facts. There is also the possibility that the fake bag might be made with toxic materials, those things aren't inspected upon importing, simply because they are smuggled in. If things (like kids toys and our pets' food) that ARE inspected can be toxic, just imagine what might be lurking in an imported item that isn't subject to inspection
Good luck with your bag, enjoy it. I hope that it's made as nicely as it looks and that you get many years out of it. I seriously just wanted to let you know these things, not to attack your choice of what to buy. How can you make a choice if you are unaware of some of the facts, right?
Hugs
