Has anyone ever bought a replica of a designer handbag that was good quality? I own a real Coach that I have carried for years and was looking at the new ones and wow! it is obvious that I bought my real Coach before I had monthly bills and a baby! Any websites or suggestions on replica purses or are they junk?

I have looked, too, but the ones I've seen always seem like cheap knock-offs or even worse, counterfeits.

To me it is worth the $$ for the real thing b/c as you said, you will get years of use out if it. My mom borrowed one of my Coachs and even put it in the washer with Tide 'because it got grubby' and it came out fine. I had a heart attack, but the bag was fine.

Also, you can save a bunch of money at the Coach outlet. I bought one bag a year back before DH and DD, and paid about 1/3 - 1/2 the retail cost. Ahhh, the good old days.

HTH,
Molly

Can you just call the outlet and tell them what type of bag you are interested in and buy it over the phone (like a Hanna outlet!)?

I know you can order over the phone from the Furla outlet.

Could you tell me which state that outlet is in?

There are outlets all over. Ones I know for sure are in Las Vegas and in Primm, Nevada.

There's a Coach outlet in Kenosha, Wisconsin, just over the border from Illinois. So if you're in the Chicago area, it's close. There's also a Coach outlet in Michigan City, Indiana, if you are closer to the Indiana side.

Do you call and tell them what you want or how does it work? Do the bags at outlets have minor flaws? I'm clueless about this!
Thanks,
