A Hong Kong woman has split opinion online over an argument with her boyfriend about fake designer handbags.

In a post on the city’s anonymous social media forum DiscussHK, the woman said: “My boyfriend bought me fake handbags which I thought were real and now he is blaming me.”

In her post published at the end of March, the woman said she thought her boyfriend was good to her because he bought her so many luxury bags that “there was no more room for them in my home”.

As a result of her surfeit of bags, the woman decided to sell some of them.

The woman was not happy that her “designer” bags turned out to be copies, just like these, above, seized in a raid by Hong Kong authorities. Photo: Felix Wong

When she did, she discovered they were all copy products.
