This is 200 dollars. Yeah, yeah. No, no. Everyone is running to Canal Street these days. We're going to go see how fake these bags really look. This is live undercover. We are journalists. I'm not going to lie, we were a little nervous filming this, but there's just so much discourse about Canal Street and the deals you can get. So as you can see me doing the air quotes, mic check, 1, 2, 3. I'm going to be totally honest with you guys, it's not everything TikTok hypes it up to be. You're not necessarily getting a deal on a good fake. Canal has gotten so much attention that some of the prices are honestly outrageous and the fakes aren't even good. And they are getting so bold with their prices, you guys. If you're gonna shop on Canal Street, at least don't pay full price. 120 for a fake bag was already outrageous enough, but this next interaction, this sealed the whole Canal Street experience for us. 100, 100, 200. This is 200 dollars. No, no, no. She only has $35. I know how back for 35. Come on. The other guy said $50. No, I don't have it. Let this be your firsthand account, spending hundreds of dollars on a fake bag on Canal Street is not worth it when you can find thousands of real designer bags on VYA for the same exact price.

Vintage is truly the only way to go these days because no way #fastfashion #vint
