If you want fake bags, go to Canal Street in Chinatown.
There are tons of stores there selling knock offs of every major designer you can think of. Typically, you pay $20 to $30 per bag.
My wife loves to buy the fakes becuase they look just like the real thing for a fraction of the cost. She likes to look stylish but think's it's stupid to pay $500 for a purse no matter how nice it is.
BTW, when we were there, the cops were busting some of the merchants selling the fake bags. It was hilarious watching all the merchants scrambling to close their stores and hide the bags when the cops came around. One store we went into actually had a secret room behind a wall in the back of the store where he kept all the "good stuff." No shit! It was like doing a drug deal.
In case you didn't know, it is ILLEGAL to sell knock offs of designer bags. That's why you have to be very careful when you buy on the Net. You can't expect to get your money back because you are already buying an illegal product.

hahaha! We were inside one of the places on Canal Street and they actually shut the door (garage door looking thing) for about 10 minutes. It freaked us out. none of the ladies spoke good English so we didn't know what was going on. We learned later that it was because there were police busts in the area.
