Designer clothing is a complicated and nuanced obsession in society’s culture. Albeit silly that we covet expensive designer labels for their trendiness, style, and lavish statements, it’s really the quality construction of designer clothes that sets them apart. Cheap fashion never lasts, falling apart sometimes before you even take them out of the shopping bag, but a real designer piece is built to last a lifetime. 

When this woman unwrapped her birthday present from her husband, the Gucci bag she had been eyeing for months, she was elated. But as she toyed with the lining and tested the zipper, the fastener snapped off in her hand. Certain that it must be faulty, she demanded the receipt and stormed into the Gucci store, only to be told by the sassy, chic clerk that her bag was, in fact, a total fake. 

The husband’s coworker’s wives may have been fooled by the fake bags they were buying on Canal Street, but once this man’s gaslighting and fraudulent gift scheme was unearthed, how could a girl forgive him? 

As always, designer labels have presented themselves in a marriage, proving that quality always outshines the shimmering fabrics and textiles. Because good bags only come around once in a while, the sting of this betrayal may be lingering for a lot longer than this wealthy man’s next financial quarter.
