I think there are lots of really "good" fake handbags out there. When I first started buying purses I was using eBay, thinking I was getting a deal. It wasn't until I was doing some marketing research for a course that I realized that almost all the handbags I bought from eBay are fake
So, I'm re-starting my collection, getting rid of all the eBay purses. My fiance knows that Coach gift cards are a sure way to make me happy for special occasions!
There are no Coach outlet stores in BC, but I think there is one in Ontario. I am lucky enough to live a few kms from the US border, so in about an hour I can get to the outlet store in Burlington, and it's only another half hour from there to the Seattle outlet mall. There are lots of Coach regular retail stores in Vancouver and the surrounding areas, but I really can't bring myself to pay full price!!
