Designer Bags BM, MOH Gifts

Ok.....not sure about this one. What is anyone's opinion.
I am paying for the BM and MOH hair. I would like to get everyone a gift too.
I met a woman who works near me who sells Coach, LV, etc. bags (good quality, but knockoffs).
What would anyone think of receiving one of these bags as a gift?

Obviously, I would love to buy the real thing...but way too pricey. I am thinking of going to see what the woman has for selection and choosing a few purses and/or wallets.

Let me know your thoughts. I am having a tough time coming up with good BM and MOH gifts. I really do not want to get jewelry since that is such a personal 'taste'.

Help.....

Re: Designer Bags BM, MOH Gifts

I think it might be slightly inappropriate as a gift to give a knockoff bag, but if you really love this idea than a better idea might be to have the pocketbook woman come to your home to have a mini party and let everyone pick their own bag out. That way they can at least pick out the ones they like.

Re: Designer Bags BM, MOH Gifts

if you get good knockoffs they too can be about 100.00 if not more... i have a knockoff and real Louie- and there are slight differences that noone would notice unless they had the two in front of them to compare...

I think you if you want to do purses it is not a bad idea, I personally dont love the idea for a BM gift... JMO

Re: Designer Bags BM, MOH Gifts

I have two LV bags from my mil and I seriously cant tell whether its real or knockoffs.... I would love one as a bm gift!

I think its a greta gift idea but I even like the party idea better so youre girls can pick their own

maybe you can get a manicurist and massage thereapist to come over too and make a spa nite with your bp

Ooooooh, that sounds like a good idea. It would be fun for your bridesmaids too. Like a thank you get-together, only they get to leave with a purse

Re: Designer Bags BM, MOH Gifts

I personally don't like knock offs no matter how good they are. I'd rather have a less expensive non-branded bag.

Re: Designer Bags BM, MOH Gifts

What about the Coach outlets? You can get some really good deals there -- especially when they're having a sale.

Re: Designer Bags BM, MOH Gifts

If you can get a good knock-off..you may be better off getting a coach knock-off rather than a LV knock off....

LV is a little to obvious that it is fake,,,know what I mean???


Good Luck sweetie..........

I agree. I don't think you should give knock offs as a gift. Well, I guess it depends on the people. If the label is that important to someone then get them a knock off. I buy brand name because the quality seems so much better. Its really up to you.

Re: Designer Bags BM, MOH Gifts

If it was a good quality knockoff I would really like it....Everyone is different though, maybe you know your bridal party well enough to know if it is something they would be interested in....But if I was in your bridal party I would like it and not think it was inappropriate at all
