Best quality handbags (copies) are sold in a small little shop exactly opposite the Shangri La hotel. Cant remember the Thai name of the shop, but the "official" front sells all sort of local handicrafts, mango wood designs and other bits and bobs. Go there and ask for Nicki (the owner)and ask her what you want. She will take you upstairs. The whole 2nd floor is for copy bags and the 3rd floor is filled to the brim with copy watches. Both are by far a much better quality and selection than what you can find im other open markets. (Will post the thai name of the shop when it pops to my tired brain...).
