>Since I accidently sent a note to the list that was intended for someone

>inexpensive purses that look expensive.
>Here's the story. I live 20 minutes outside of Manhatten and there are
>certain bargains to be found there that are not available in many other
>places, and I don't mean drugs.

>On Canal Street in Chinatown, you can buy beautiful watches that look for
>all the world like Movado, Tommy Hilfiger, Tag Heuer, etc at only ten
>dollars each. They are all fakes and are made in China. they work fine, if
>not perfectly. I lose a minute or two on mine, but so what. To a trained
>eye, they fakery is obvious. To the casual observer, nice watch!
>I own a Tag Heuer ($790) a Lasalle ($900) a Seiko ($150) and a Skagan
>($100). I wear none of them anymore.
>I got five watches for myself, one with a dark blue face that goes nicely
>with jeans, a green face that goes nicely with yellow or green shirts, and
>a red metallic face that goes with my MGA! Leather watch bands are $2.

>My friend is someone near L.A. who, like me, loves NYPDBlue. On Canal
>Street, I bought a very well made Dark Blue Tee shirt, heavy cotton, with
>an embroidered NYPD emblem and NYPD letters stitched right into the fabric.
> You would honestly expect to pay $25 for the quality and embroidered
>stuff. $10.
>
>My girlfriend bought a purse for $20 that looks like a designer purse from
>Macys' that sell for hundreds. Maybe it's vinyl and maybe it's not up to
>dooney and Bourke standards, but who knows? It LOOKs expensive and it
ain't.

>So now you know the rest of the story. Good Day!
