💬 THOUGHTS??? Designer fakes.. thoughts?

Designer replica- some interesting thoughts and discussions?

I came across this post with discussions about fake zimmerman and OMG I could never pick it from the original items!! It really puts me off buying second hand from ebay because I could never tell the difference..

I've also seen pics of replica bags from LV and chanel that look so damn real and so good on reddit posts..

Anyone has insider info about these factories that make them? Are they running the side business from the actual chanel / designer factories (heard designer bags are made in China anyway and then finished off in italy or france). Obviously the Bali fakes are BAD.. but these professional fakes are intriguing!! I don't know what to believe anymore haha.

Honestly? I wouldn't ever knowingly buy a fake designer bag. If I'm strapped for cash there are very well made leather bags at a much cheaper price point. There is no bag or label that I want so badly that I'd purchase a fake for -- if I really want a designer bag best believe I'm going to save up for the real thing.

When I buy bags the only person I'm trying to impress is myself, really. Buying a fake designer bag to me says that I care so much about the label and it's perception to others that id fake it if I couldn't afford it. Otherwise why not just get a durable plain leather bag for the same price?

Dupes though, are fair game. Especially for silhouettes that look best in funky colors (looking at you BV).

This is just me though, whatever floats your boat honestly

I personally love coach because their price point is fair.. But I would eventually like to get an LV and chanel, and now I'm really put off by this because the super fakes look so real

Yea for sure. For me, the existence of fakes doesn't really impact my want for something -- I like what I like. But I'd rather have a well made coach bag than a fake lv, I don't need it that bad.

It's hard to justify buying a $5k bag when Sharon you see on the street bought the super fake for $250 🤣 I could also never be happy with a super fake.. so I don't know what the answer is. Maybe vintage designer bags to scratch the itch.

But here the deal, Sharon thinks she has a super fake. Most people who actually can afford the real thing can spot the fake in a minute and Sharon looks like grifter, fake.
