spotted: counterfeit louis vuitton

i've seen so many different styles of clothing in montreal, that i've lost count. i'm not saying that one style is better than the other, but i have noticed that montrealers love their branded clothing. i've seen people wear canada goose jackets at +10 degrees celsius, most probably because they don't want to part with the popular jacket. during the winter, i can most likely see 30 canada goose jackets in a day. BUT i don't know how many of them are counterfeit. i absolutely DO NOT believe in counterfeit products and hence my first "spotted" post:counterfeit louis vuitton items.

'YV' shoes seen at atwater metro station

juicy couture dolman sleeve tunic sweater

photo source: revolve clothing

i went to the JT warehouse sale on jean talon during the first week of april. i'm not much of a sample/warehouse sale type person anymore (i was obsessed with sample sales back in my cegep and university days), but my boyfriend needed new pairs of jeans. he's somewhat skinny and has a hard time finding jeans his size, so he enjoys going to sample sales because they usually carry his size. anyways, i wasn't planning on buying anything, but i found a cashmere and wool blend sweater/tunic for less than $80 and i was sold (the dolman sleeves were a plus!).

please see my outfit experiment with this sweater here

total (incl. tax): $74.50
