DSW and the Gucchi bags..spelling intentional

[britisha]

Mi seh !!

Mi pass chru DSW llass week, and dere wasn't even breathing room...not even fi ketch yuh breath, di place was so jam-packed.


Mi follow di crowd een deh, and never get but so far...annihoo mi check out wha all di hexcitement was all about, and noh axxe if dem nain haff Gucchi of all persuasion een deh.


Mi tek wan look at dem, and tell miself, "don't you dare!...dont you dare think yuh a buy even wan a dem fi bring eenah di coob."


Mi reminisced pan di days when mi used to carry Gucchi, Pucci and even Fiarucci...well, mi did end hup suing Gucchi aftah wan a di bag, bruk dung widdin a few months...an mi win..

Di arbitrator did ask mi, how can smaddie spen dem saawt a bread fi sinting lacka Gucchi bag....well, when di oddas died, mi decided fi tear dem dung, and see "just what they were made of...mi Puppa!!

..a cardboard, hardened that they used and used a thin smidgin of leddah and pasted ovr the board to simulate "real leddah"..di fabric wid di Gucchi logo is juss dat..."fabric" nutt'n no real bout ie.

To be fair, some of the men's wallets, the black ones, look like real leddah but dass about ie..

<span style="font-style: italic">disclaimer: mi noh know hiff Gucchi mek unleddah errr real leddah products, but fram fimi hexperience...mi noh tink soh]</span>..

Wha did pois mi haff, is dat dem wanted to chaawge mi fi fix di bag, whey did pop hup soon aftah dem sehdem repaired it...well mi get mi money back, which they didn't want to pay, for look like seh dem was going broke at the time..

Fram wha mi cudda si, dem bags at DSW even looked tackier than the ones that I eventually ripped apart..

only the trims on them (mostly from what i see in my world) is leather. even the coach bags and what not. that's why i can't see the allure of spending so much for them.

besides, i can get a genuine fake one that looks exactly like the real thing for $15/20/25 at the side of the road when the police isn't patrolling.

they have the exact replica of this one selling now for $24.99

Clothes and shoes are one thing, I'm not paying a whole heap of money for it to be a target and then it gets jacked.

Dem haff cheap knockoffs that one can get jacked for. Di prablem is the exorbitant prices that they are asking when it is cardboard dem selling..

...as for clothes, I try to buy well-made, stuff, fUr a likkle bit more, usually at sale, and truss mi, they were worth the price, considering what I'm seeing today. They don't make clothes like those anymore, and if they do, one won't find them in the average department store.

they call it bonded leather, and you'd be surprised at what them use it fi mek. all some a dem hexpensive shooz is made from the same stuff. some of it even has the suede nap on the inside. which is weird considering the amount of animal products we consume.

most leather sofas are made from the stuff.

Dat's di word I was feeling for...&quot;bonded&quot;...in any case, that suede nap is one thing what they recommend to look for in determining if the shoes/boots you are buying is &quot;real leather&quot; or not...this info is good to know...I swear, nothing is sacred, nat even di cow, nor real anymore...but I digress.

I do remember when one could get a decent pair of leather boots, but nat annimore.

I just threw out a pair of Clarkes [bought in Shoemania] worn it just a few times, di sinting buss pan mi; fortunately mi did deh near mi yaawd...when mi hexamine it, same sinting...&quot;bonded leather&quot;...thanks for the reminder on that term.

Just take it back and start clucking, they know their products. I bought a purse at the beginning of this summer, didn't even have it for 3 weeks good and the strap broke on my way home from work. I didn't have a receipt no problem, I got a new purse just like that.
