WOW, are you sure her friend didn't give her an imitation? I've seen and held the Dooney-Bourke purse(my favorite) at those expensive stores and they usually have a warranty if the purse should kaput! Those purses are extremely well made! Don't know about the LV purse, but the DB are pretty sturdy bags.

I think Badger is bad-mouthing the Vuitton bag, and I'll second the motion. LV is rot. Dooney, on the other hand . . . I have a Dooney feedbag-model purse on the floor next to me that I've had since grad school, and that ended in 1993.
