Definately. Also do not be afraid to negotiate with the people and if you don't get it at the price you want, go to another place, there are plenty of places that sell bags.

Not true..they can actually fine you for buying it...especially in those spots where you're going into a secret room in the back. But they rarely care about the buyers..if they do bust the place you just are told to leave. One time i was buying CD's over there and they busted the whole place and the officer made sure everyone let go of everything they were buying.

Also, if your lucky and you just walk around NYC, you can find vinders on the street that sell fake handbags.

Canal is great for counterfeit watches, handbags, bootleg movies, etc. Those Chinese rock.

yep...Canal street lol. It's really crowded though. I stay away from that part of Chinatown.
