I know what your thinking, and no i didnt buy this handbag. lol. when we went to the flea market on the way to Pigeon Forge, they had D&G knockoffs and my daughter fell in love with this bag, she has her own part time job now so she bought it herself, paid $23 for it. well after about a week, she decided it was too big, but i really like it. so i traded one of my handbags for it. great way to do it! lol.
