If it bugs you so much… why buy a fake?

But here's where she loses me. Lynn goes on to tell the story of her frustration as she sat on the waitlist for a Louis Vuitton Murakami Cherry Blossom bag back in 2003. Apparently, her name never came up... and so she settled for the Cherry Blossom Canal Street special pictured above.

If you

"Actors impersonating impoverished illegal immigrants trying to make a living? Who came up with this swell idea? Not since Marie Antoinette dressed as a shepherdess has such blatant bad taste, such revolting hauteur infected a social gathering. (Maybe it's a French thing?) In any case, this grotesque Potemkin Village is torn down by the time I visit, so instead of expressing my outrage at fake fake-bag booths, I'm battling toddlers to get a look at Murakami's cartoon films."

That's all fine with me...

"In the end, I went down to Canal Street Monogram Leather Bags , the same ratty Canal Street that Vuitton thought was so witty to make fun of. And there I found a wonderful fake flowered satchel for $35, which I thought a cool guy like Murakami would probably get a kick out of, since the nameless third-world artisan who made it added some flourishes that LV hadn't thought of, like silver faux-snakeskin trim and mirror studs."

Of the fake Canal Street set up by Louis Vuitton outside the museum the night of the Brooklyn Ball Cheap Louis Vuitton , Lynn said:

She shoots the whole "Lonesome Cowboy" and "Hiropon" easy targets... rips on the outrageous prices, and items in the store such as the "hideously glommed-up gold number called the Marilyn".

Come on Lynn. If all this bugs you so much, why would you ever buy a fake?

I appreciate a good critique. And so, when I began Lynn Yaeger's critic of the Murakami Exhibit and shop at the Brooklyn Museum of Art in the Village Voice, I was right with her.

She speaks of the Murakami/ Marc Jacobs collaboration as resulting in "cutesy-poo Louis Vuitton handbags".

And while I may not agree with her analysis, I certianly can see how she gets Louis Vuitton Online there.

From there, it's just down hill... trolling Canal Street & eBay for current fakes and ripping on Louis Vuitton's anti-counterfeit educational measures.
