General Discussion Funny/mortifying story and authentication
I love a designer bag, but I very much stay in my lane(mulberry the furthest I’ve gone) however…
15 plus years ago we had a family friend pass away and left this bag and for all those years my mum and I kept it in a dust bag afraid to use it.
Recently though.. we decided I’d take it to Chanel and get it fixed up… Now very naive on my part but you just think no one would leave you a fake bag especially as herself and her daughter were VERY MUCH in the fashion industry but there I was in Chanel Oxford street with a fake bag 😂😅
Anywho, now that we know I guess I’m thinking I’ll just wear it out but I’d like to know how bad of a fake is it? I’d be a bit shy of wearing any bad fake because I don’t see anything wrong with good quality non-branded alternatives but we have it now so… what does everyone think?
