But Carla was very particular about using only genuine goods. While the counterfeit products looked just as good as the real brand, they weren't of the same quality as the legitimate branded products. When she visited the store to purchase the bag, she was very skeptical about spending so much money for a handbag, but the sales lady was so kind and explained the benefits of the brand to her and made her feel very welcome in the store. She explained that consumers could only purchase true Louis Vuitton products at Louis Vuitton stores or from its website. She also explained that if she ever encountered a problem with her handbag, she could return it to the store for repair or a replacement. All things considered, Carla's experience at the store and her purchase far exceeded anything she had expected. Her initial feeling of skepticalness on splurging on a handbag gave way to a feeling of satisfaction and pride.
