We're blessed with a VS in the ground floor of our apartment building, so I walk past it several times a day. The stuff is unbelievably cheesy - not so much in the vulgarity of the design (it's no La Perla, but what do you expect for 1/10th the price?) but the quality of the workmanship. Even from the distance of a display window, it looks like it'd fall apart after three washings.
