For me, its helpful to include some sort of information with the facts/info we post about, because otherwise its almost hear-say. Then we are continuing to pass along facts that are unfounded...almost like spreading rumors. IMO Ive purchased plenty of both fake & real purses. IMO... most fakes can be identified by not having the label/tag inside of the purse, stiching may be a little off... and on most LV's (and I think Coach) have cerial numbers & locks that you will not find on a fake... And for me, thats quite alright. I mean, when I go out and get a compliment on my handbag, that person doesnt inspect the bag to make sure its real?!? I change my purses almost daily... which probably helps mine not get worn down. I definately wouldnt wear a knock off on a consistant daily basis... I've also had a name brand BEBE bag that was well over 100+ and got worn out quicker than anybag I've had. With that said, its all a matter of your fashion sense and style... Just Do You I personally think the bag is super cute... But, there's no way hubby is letting me buy another carrier right now...especially since she's hardly ever in her other three

| You know what, I have the real one and Madeleine doesn't even like it! I only wish my boyfriend would have asked me before he bought it because I could have thought of a much better way to spend the money. I now use it as a suitcase when we go on road trips to carry all her stuff since she doesn't want to be in it. I do have to say that the quality is beautiful, but it better be for that price!

i too change my bags almost weekly. Sophie already has 3 carriers, this one will probably only be used for longer trips, as it gives her more room and is probably the most comfortable of the 3. i know people around where i live couldn't tell you the difference between a real coach and a knock off. i sure wouldn't; if i wouldn't have been doing research all week. | |

| Very Cute!!! I say if you want it, get it!! I have bought authentic and knock offs and to be honest with you, some of my authentic bags, shoes, clothes, etc. were poorly made and some wore before the knock off did (with no abnormal wear n tear either). I do appreciate some facts Lunasmomma pointed out though... I'd like to know what you think of it once you get it...

| Hi all!! Just wanted to say that I have 5 bags for my furbaby and all came from petsmart..off season...and cost me no more than $10.00 (have my eye on a bag now and waiting for it to come down!! ) But because I love to treat myself to nice things on occassion..I feel i deserve it..I bought a real coach carrier for my baby and actually got it at a discount from one of my real estate clients. I love the quality of the bag and apparently so does Nathan as he hops right in it !! LOL I also use it as a weekender for myself sometimes too. I always put a blanket in the bottom when Nathan uses it and I have had it for a while and it still looks new.He doesn't get car sick or have accidents in his bags etc.. So for me it has a dual purpose and works well for me as do the other bags.(although the only one i can use as a weekender is the coach).. so yes i think its just personal preference and if your priorities allow you to splurge on occassion I say do you and go for it!!!!whether it is a bag for your baby or you or whatever it is you want

| I've seen them at Target, Petsmart, Walmart. All of my carriers I got at Petsmart. When I say Namebrand, I DO mean a brand that actually exists, not someone else stealing someone elses work and making money off of it! Plus, even though they aren't the designer ones, I'm sure if it breaks or rips, the store will allow you to exchange it, or get your money back. People who sell fake purses more than likely do not back up their product, that is if you could even find them to tell them your purse ripped!

all my carriers are a different style. i appreciate your opinion but personally i'm getting tired of the hat ei am receiving from this board just by TRYING to be helpful. i have a carrier from petsmart that i hate with a passion. it velcroes at the top instead of zipping, and sophie gets out of it all the time. thats why i am splurging to buy EXACTLY what i want. no one is going to change my mind. sorry if i seem a big upset, i am. i was trying to be helpful, and if you disagree, thats fine. but please don't drag my opinion down. we are all subject to our own. now; i am going to the doctor to get a spider bite treated. see why i'm a bit angry? | |

| i'm getting tired of the hat ei am receiving from this board just by TRYING to be helpful. SAY WHAT? No one is hatin' on you. How is it helpful to encourage others to break the law? To support child labor? I can see that you are going to do what you want anyway, and that is YOUR right. It's also MY right to say that it's not for me, and to try to educate anyone that I can, because most don't know the seedy side of fakes All I was attempting to do is help you to understand the ramifications of supporting this industry. Also, I put the info out there in GENERAL, it's NOT directed at YOU. ANYONE could be reading this board, you're not the only one that reads here It's up to you to decide if the way these people manufacture and sell these counterfeit items, bothers you or not. I don't see one post where anyone is being hateful to you. Maybe you should go back and read them again. No one is "dragging your opinion down", just stating FACTS. No one as said "You're wrong!" You're upset because you don't want to hear anything that goes against YOUR opinion Well, when you post on a public forum, you can't expect everyone to agree with you. I'm sorry that you feel this way., and I hope that you can also understand that I don't mean to "talk down" to you. I'm twice your age (40) and I JUST NOW in the last 2 years have been able to afford a real designer bag in the last couple of years. It seems like the youth of today want it all now now now! Good luck at the doctors. I hope the bite heals quick and that it's not too painful. My husband has had a few that were horrible, so I sympathize. But it is not an excuse to lash out at this board and its members.

I personally have nothing against fakes. To each his own, but technically it takes away from the true inventor of the style. I know if I invented something I wouldn't want knockoffs being sold.

That's great you found what exactly what you are looking for, but that doesn't justify everything that's wrong with fake purses. It's like buying any other illegal item because it was exactly what your looking for. If you can't afford the real item, then save up for it! I can probably gaurantee you that you'd go through so many of those Coach-rip offs and instead of wasting your money, just save up and get the real one. And yes IMO $70 for a no=name purse is A LOT of money, yeah it's cheaper then the real one, but your definitly getting even more ripped off. Why pay so much for a purse that will more than likely fall apart, is not good quality, etc?

| Please let us know if you decide to get it! I would love to hear if your baby likes it and what it looks like in real life! Take PLENTY of pictures! And don't worry about others..there are some people who are very passionate about fakes..and thats their opinion. What they think isn't going to change MY mind and it shouldn't change yours! So if you want it, get it and LOVE it..dont worry about everyone else!
