Last year I had my eye on Kate Spade black patent tote handbag except I couldn't find what I had in mind. I either waited too long and missed out or I dreamed that this bag existed and it was only available in my dreams. Of course, there might have been such a purse in 2006 that was not sold in 2007.
That would not be surprising in the least because when I see a stylish bag that I like, it tends to stay in my mind even if I forget exactly when or where I saw it.
You might ask if a particular purse made such an impression why I wouldn't make a beeline to the store and buy it immediately. The answer to that would be that it's rare that I buy a big ticket item like a Kate Spade handbag and wallet on impulse.
Occasionally, there are high quality Kate Spade knockoffs or imitations for a super cheap price (in comparison) that work fine for everyday use. If there are designer lookalike purses that don't cheat by pasting on a fake designer logo and that are nicely done; who am I to pass them by? Each winter, summer, spring and fall I will pick up one or two of the latest authentic designer purses (no matter how expensive and I have the credit card bills to prove it), cruise through the offerings of Kate Spade handbags, wallets and purses in online auctions.
If it's a bag that I truly love, I'm not too proud to buy a used one in excellent condition if the seller can prove that it's genuine. Fakes are fine, but don't try to slide one by me under the selling price of a real one.
