I need a little help with my conscience ?

Question

I recently came across a Harajuku Lovers bag ( http://www.harajukulovers.com/store/productdetails.aspx?productid=1243 ) ,the Aloha one, and I have fallen in love with it! It's sold out on there official website so I searched the internet high and low and I've finally found one! But I became suspicious because I thought it may be a fake. I searched the internet for articles on how to distinguish real and fake Harajuku lovers item, when I came across an essay that talked about how Gwen Stefani's line is offensive to some Asians.

Now my problem here is: Do I buy the bag even though I know it's going to be eating away at my conscience [I don't like to be offensive or racist to other races because I know I'd get really upset if I saw someone parading around in clothing that degraded my culture. But I reeeeeeally love this bag!

I need an out side opinion. Also I was wondering how do you feel about Harajuku Lover's?

Answer 2
