it more than likely is a knockoff and i mean that he didnt buy the leather from gucci but its basically the same thing. no one really cares though, there was this guy named dapper dan on 125st in harlem back in the 80s that had the machines to make all kinds of clothing,jackets , footwear, etc.... from designer material. this guy made clothes for all the rappers, dealers,thugs and rewgular joes who had the money to pay. if you know hip-hop from back then chck mout some of the gucci or LV clothing that they wore . this guy made it all until the companies got fed up with seeing their name brand al over the place and they werent getting squat, so the police ran down on him and confiscated all his machines and gave him a little time to think about what he was doing
