an alle meine Freunde und Kunden
to all my friends and clients
It's a while ago that I wanted to write you this: do not buy false purses from street vendors on Ponte Vecchio or similar places. I know they look cute (not the street vendors but the purses), they litteraly cost nothing but only till you are not within the "claws" of Guardia della Finanza. After you get cought, they will handle you a ticket of 1000.- € (thousand Euro) and will take the purses away from you. No chance to negotiate as they where watching you while buying, dressed in civil clothes. With this system they want you to buy a real purse from Gucci, LV or Prada or who ever. It hurts the customer more than everything else but is one of the things they can do against this criminal organisations. Unfortunately that's what they are. So please: just keep your hands off form the copies. If you can't afford a real one, just go to Furla, Mandarina Duck and Cocinelle and you will find very cool purses for affordable prices which will even last longer than only a month or the next rain.
