if you walk down any street in tokyo, you'll see not only women, but men as well, strutting along with designer goods. Japan accounts for around 40% of all of Louis Vuitton sales. Japan alone. It's not rare here to see even a teenager in high school (even boys) with designer bags and accessories. And really, finding fake handbags in Japan is really really hard. Plus, they don't want fake ones, they like to show off how much they can spend. LV is generally the most popular one, but gucci, dior and coach are also very present. Prada not as much, but still there. If anything, the girls of shinjuku and shibuya are still taking hints from her style, they love to spend money.
However, that being said, this is just Tokyo. I have no idea about other parts of Japan.
