I snapped this using Hipstamatic really quickly as we were disembarking. It's the Victory. I thought it turned out neat...

They have some pretty good knockoffs at the straw market right off the ship in Nassau. You really have to look around first - some of the vendors have better ones than others. Most of the bags are under $40 and you can bargain quite a bit off that so you can get a great deal.

I don't think they are as good as what you've seen though - I can see all sorts of glaring shortcomings on the ones I've gotten but most people can't tell! For example, I've gotten a Vuitton that looks really good on the outside but the lining is bad, the Coach bags have straps that are too thin for their comparable actual Coach bag, and a Burberry tote I really wanted from a distance had bad trim along the seaming. So I guess your answer is no, a person with a fair amount of knowledge of the genuine article will know right off if you're carrying any of the bags I've seen there!
