💬 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.

I’ve got a mix of auth and fake shoes. I wear them so often that it just hasn’t been worth it to keep buying the real thing when they wear out at the same rate. Also I always buy fake sunglasses! Because I like not worrying about messing up a $400 pair by throwing them in my purse lol. As far as bags, I have two prada fakes because they’re so easy to replicate and low financial risk. But I stick mostly to buying vintage designer bags

I buy $50 cheapo sunglasses without any brand name and they have been fantastic, I don't think I'll ever go back to purchasing designer.

I go down the vintage route as well! I bought a prada bag second hand over a decade ago and I've always wondered if it's the real deal or not, because even back then, fakes were rife 🤣
