You Can't Fake Fashion

So I go to the eBay Fashion Vault excited to see and of course buy, a tote from the new "You Can't Fake Fashion" campaign. But they were sold out! ALL of them! They went on sale at 11am and I was on ebay at 3. Gone. All gone except for the plain tote.
   I was so happy to read that the CFDA teamed up with eBay on a new campaign to bring awareness to counterfeit goods and stolen designs. 
   eBay had canvas totes for sale in their Fashion Vault that were designed by some of today's biggest names. Written on every tote is the slogan "You Can't Fake Fashion". A tag line that rings true for the designers who took time to specially create their own tote.
  Milly, Anna Sui, Catherine Malandrino, Rodarte and Stuart Weitzman are just a few of fashion's best who took part in this campaign.

    Some of the other 50 designers included Diane von Furstenberg who adorned her tote with colorful lipstick kisses in pink and orange. (that's the one I really wanted!)  Jason Wu's tote flourished with black flowers.
   I read in the New York Post today that a computer glitch made the sale start hours before it was supposed to and that's why the totes sold out so quickly.   
   But don't despair my fellow fashionistas! The plain canvas tote with the slogan on it (not touched by a designer, but still very cool) is still available for $35.
   Get to eBay now because there are limited quantities available.
   Funds from the tote sales will go to the CFDA Foundation, Inc. a separate, non-profit company which raises money for charitable initiatives and campaigns on behalf of the American fashion industry's designers.
  Fashion for a cause!
  I got my tote! Hurry up and get yours! No really...HURRY!
