Patchoo,   Personally I think LV and other big labels know that if a person is willing to buy a "fake" for much less cost, they never had the money to buy a "real" whatever it is anyway.  Just means  more people out there determined to have the real thing and not one of the many impersonations.     The problem is when people try to pass off the fake as the real thing and yes that angers me.     As a matter a fact i just posted about chinese manufactures using designers pictures and putting there own label over the picture,  oh and then charging a similar price.   I wrote to the company whose pictures had been used.      Now if the manufacturer had posted that the dress was a xxx style dress,  or had made it clear in anyway the picture shown was not the dress you would be sent I wouldn’t have cared.

In short I guess say we are at the Royal Show and walk past a table of ugly LV purses,    we know they are fake, personally most of us would not buy so who cares.
