Hi Posh,
Just found this post. Love it!!

However, one small detail. In the handbag rep world, "Franken "means Horrible rep! So it was hard to get use to seeing this word here used exactly opposite! A "Franken" bag is either a bag style that never existed in the designers line of bags, such as a LV Damier Graphite Neverfull, or a LV with plastic handles.

Great to see another girl here!!!

Thanks, Chanel! I'm glad you liked it. I need to augment it. I'm already seeing stuff that would make a great part of the list. LOL

A franken bag would be a replica with a genuine strap or a genuine luggage tag or something like that. I know that if you're in Korea and you don't like something on your bag, there's places where you can go to get it changed out. If you bring your own genuine part, like handles or even hardware, they'll set to work changing it all for you. It's not used in the same sense as watches. That's a whole other world. LOL
