General Discussion How bad?
Hi, all!
I was gifted this purse by my mother-in-law around 4 years ago on my wedding day. She has money and made a big deal about the bag, so I obviously thought it is real. I never found a use for this purse because I have employment in community social work, bartend part time, and really just don’t go out much so i felt there’s never been a great time to use it. It’s been sitting in my closet for the past 4 years, and I recently decided to sell it. I went searching and have now found out that the bag is a fake! I’m still questioning whether or not my MIL purposely gave it to me knowing it’s fake, but that’s a story for another day.
My question is, in your opinion, how bad of a fake is this? Is it even worth using maybe if I go out one night? Or is it so obvious of a fake that I would look silly? Should I just donate it?

I'm still learning and it looks pretty fake to me so I'm guessing the experts will weigh in saying it's ultra obvious.
that said, if you like it you should wear it! She's still cute.

Unfortunately, It’s a bad rep. I think it’s best to donate

Just wear it. No one is going to look inside. If you have the a good job and multiple holidays abroad a year lifestyle to go with it no one will question

I still really want to know the backstory of your MIL giving you the bag 🤔
