If you are rich and use a fake bag, people will thinkt that the bag is real. Otherwise, your real bag will be treated as a fake.
There was a waitress from Hong Kong in a Chinese restaurant who has a real Rolex watch. One day, a regular customer came for a dinner. The waitress showed him the Rolex. The older gentlement immediately said that it is a fake one. He said that he saw them all over Hong Kong for $20 to $30 bucks when he travelled to Hong Kong for business.
The moral of the story is that people judge you by your socialeconomic status.
