Luka, not to argue with you, but those are copies. Like Sal said, really high end vesion and not even the experts can distinquish between them.
Apparently, the best version is hidded in Shenzhen, Canton, right at the boarder of HK/China (kinda weird to say that, since HK is part of China, but you know what I mean). I went there twice, it is a women's heaven (and for some men, too).
You believe it is real because it says "made in france"?

they have crispy creme donuts down there, you can get them at any grocery store (krogers) and they also have Dunkin Donuts, but its not like up here were everybody fiends for timmies and people don't just hang out at cofffee shops, oh and starbucks, tonnes of them down there.
And they have timmies as far south as cincinnati, well almost. I lived 20 minutes north of cincinnati in the suburbs for about 5 years, and there was a timmies 2 exits up the highway (75) from where i lived, which was about 1.5-2 hours south-west of columbus.
I found that some things are way cheaper down there, like tires, man you can get cheap tires down there, i spent like $200 on a set, mounted, balanced, installed and it even came with a free alignment. Electronics typically are way cheaper down there, like computer stuff, and TV's. But certain things, like appliances (fridges, stoves, washers and dryers) were priced about the same dollar figure as up here.

No, because Gucci said so.

The fake stuff is so advance that even LV store clerks cannot tell. I have been to these "secret" stores over in Asia, believe me Luka, shyt ain't real.
But keep it that way, don't burst her bubble.

I am not trying to argue, but to buy something at 1/10th of the MSRP here in Canada, unless it is fake, it is almost unheard of, regardless of how low the living standard is in Philippine. Was the bag purchased in actual Gucci store with receipt?

so, in the end, they are real, sanctioned or not
who cares if they're sanctioned when they are a fraction of the price
same materials, same make
that's all that matters

right, but you're not making it in the same factory using the same methods that all the 'real' ones are so its different
