The joke is on people who pay exorbitant prices for the same thing you can get at Walmart.

A gal I work with buys her LV products at the Flea Market. Sure it’s a cheap Chinese knock-off. But she pays $50.00

Not $1500.00

You have to look hard to notice the difference.

If you think the quality of a Louis Vuitton item is the same as the quality you find at Walmart, you truly are a Walmart person. I don't mean to sound harsh but there is no other way to describe such a statement.

I’m no Louie fan(only cause they are everywhere..some are damn nice and classic) but you cannot get the same thing at Wal Mart

It’s like saying a Mahindra is the same as a Caterpillar

Or a Bersa is the same as a Sig or Steyr

To be honest for purses there are several fancy brands more chic

Gucci

Chanel

Celiné....before Phoebe Philo left...tears per my wife

Prada

But for a fraction of the price you can get great bags that are very well made

Coach obviously...the Camry of women’s bags

Dooney and Burke

Kate Spade

Michael Kors....medium brand .....looks like his fancier stuff

Longchamps.....my personal favorite and my ribs first ever sorta fancy bag cost 250 bucks..electric sea blue eel...she still uses it on occasion

Alexander Wang has cheaper bags

Chloé

Best bargain bags period that look great and cost 150-300

La Furla

Fossil

I have bought a lot of bags

Rib gets the good stuff she’ll hand down one day

Daughters got mid and lower

Handbags are to women what guns and cars are to men

PS a few years ago Missoni was selling inexpensive line at Target in addition to their stratospheric line and had inexpensive but cool looking handbags

I did back in 1982 when I started working for the phone company I bought a small LV for 250.00, then in 94 my peer got the same one for XMAS.....I had to ask her how much her husband paid for it....495.00....I still have it, still use it....in perfect condition so I got my monies worth....

Um no... you actually cannot get the same thing at Walmart.

Not even close.

Wow! Bet you that cheap Walmart junk you’re buying will go straight to the dump or thrift store after you’re gone. My high end stuff will be passed down to my daughter and granddaughter. And if it’s something they don’t want I can always resell it for real money. You can’t say that about Walmart junk.
