Knock-off bags, if worn seriously, are not chic. Futhermore, a bag needs to perform, and knockoffs are not made with durability or integrity in mind. If your bank account doesn't comprehend Yves Saint Laurent, take a note from the movie "Sex in the City" and try Bag, Borrow, or Steal (http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/) and just rent a designer bag. My favorite is the Gucci 'Babouska' Large Hobo Handbag. (photo, left)
