I have worked in Hong Kong/China for the last six years in Procurement and it is possible in Shenzen city to purchase different grades of copy from crap to only an expert from the proprietory company can tell, I know I have tried. The good thing in Hong Kong is that the wealthy and fashion driven women here buy new models every season and there are specialist shops which sell original bags second hand(been to two dinner parties and a ball so no use now) which my honey can then buy at 1/4 of the new price, often still a couple of hundred quid but hell she is worth it. And yes BECAUSE is her reasoning too
