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"?

That's why I told my wife not to buy any LV bags. Most women want to be unique when they wear their outfit and carry their bags. But damn, LV is so flooded (especially in Asian malls) that I once spotted 5 white monogram speedy bags in 10 minutes - and I bet one of them, if not, more, are not from LV store.

Bootleg ftw! :P As for parking, there is ample, if you don't mind the walk. But ya, winter parking can be a pain.

The wife and I went to Niagara Falls NY to do some shopping yesterday. The dollar is still around $1.05 US so why not. We went to a Tops for groceries then for dinner at Chili's. I made a few observations...
-Stuff really isn't that cheaper there. Things like meat and junk food are the same, produce and dairy is cheaper and the selection of more normal healthier food seems more limited then in Canada.
-Leads me to my next observation. The US population is obese for a reason. There was so much junk food, pop, chips, snacks, etc my head was spinning.
-The roads are terrible. Way worse then here and Hamilton's roads are crap.
-People drive very slow. 55 and 65 on the higway and people were bang-on the speed limit.
-Very few cops that I saw.
-Chili's was awesome. I wish we had more US restaurant chains in Canada. I would live at the Olive Garden if they were still here.
Not a bad trip altogether. We are going back in a few weeks to do some clothes shopping.
