Agree with Xavier’s comment. If it makes you “sick” then you shouldn’t have bought it. Coach isn’t expensive anyways so ur dumb if you get a fake one. And Louis vuittons are expensive and beautiful. No they will never lower their prices because they are a DESIGNER. All these comments are ridiculous. If you don’t know the first thing about fashion or designers please don’t put a comment out there for everyone to read. You sound like a fool. And you can tell the difference between fake and real bags if you know what to look for.

Went to NYC for Aug 2, 2011 and the cops and agents had the vendors scared poopless. I had never shopped on canal street as this was my first trip I did a lot of research and new what to look for. I went in a few shops with my daughter who’s 16th bday it was and when they asked if I liked what I saw I said “hmm, no we were looking for coach” A few shop owners told us to leave immediately and mumbled under their breath. Finally we found one that took an interest and spoke in chinese to the owner outside the store who came in looking over his shoulder a hundred times. He pulled out an IPAD with a catalog of purses, this one brown and black, this one brown only, so on. She picked one and he said $80. I was not happy and tried to get him down on price but he said they arrested 30 vendors yesterday and it’s a hard business right now. He asked if we were police and I showed him my drivers license. I had to give him $20 and come back in 10 minutes. Ok, I did it was her bday and this is what she wanted. He came back and gave it to us in a black garbage bag. LOL not very inconspicuous. Told us to leave, not tell anyone and not come back today. About 5 minutes later I bought a purse that was cute in a shop with a matching wallet and on the way out a man from the shadows came out and shoved a card in my hand with pictures on it. Told me to “look at it over there away from me”. I sent my daughter away with her black garbage bag and told her I would catch up to her at ***** location. I said this is cute and he said “that is LV shopper tote, very popular I will get it for you”. He wanted $60 and I told him I don’t have the money and went to walk away. He followed me and said how much do you have and I pulled out 2 $20’s and he grabbed the money and shoved the black garbage bag into my chest and took off. I was shocked and nervous. I proceeded down the road to meet daughter and I could have had a bag of newspaper for all I knew. But it was a beautiful never full LV and it was sealed in fabric cover and all the leather had fabric covers on them and it had a wallet purse included and dust cover.

I don’t care if it is real as I am not a label person anyway. It is beautifully crafted, stitched amazingly and looks exactly like the ones I saw in Macy’s a few minutes later. I was really shocked. I would NEVER buy a $1700 bag. It would never happen. I feel I got a beautiful tote for a fair price. My daughters coach bag was not the best deal in chinatown but it is so well crafted. We put it next to my other daughters real ones and you cannot tell the difference in quality. But there is no stamped ID number on the label inside. I figure this purse was taken out of factory before it got to the serial number machine.

I don’t care if it is real. I would bet it is made from same material, same design and same workers as the real ones. I do of course hope all products are made humanely and safely by people who are treated well and with respect. But that goes for all products I buy not just a purse on Canal street.

I went on a NYC 3 day bus tour and met many people who go there just to shop on canal street. I was told that many of the “knock offs” that look 100% real, are 100%real!! The reason they are called knock offs and illegal is because the factory workers, where the bags are manufactured, are staying in the factory after hours, making extra bags illegally and selling them on the black market. So next time you see a “knock off” that looks exactly like the real deal, it probably is.

I saw on the View, Joy said when she first met Barbara Walters she was in awe of the handbags she carried. When she got to know her better she fianlly said jokingly “you must spend millions on your handbgs” She was very impressed when Barbara said back “are you crazy, I go to Canal street just like everyone else!”

Are you people serious, actually caring about why NYPD doesn’t enforce the law on Canal Street? Jay walking? Our city has real crime…like murder, armed robbery, drugs…..sorry our police take a blind eye to knock off bags..lmao. maybe if we lived in a one horse town like most of the torist who visit NYC the NYPD would have the time to tinker around and waist tax paying money looking out for the next “Jay Walker”! If you don’t like what you see…don’t look…as a matter of fact…stay in yiur own damn city and complain about nothing important!!!!
