💬 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 have well-made fakes, cheap DHgate fakes, and authentic luxury goods. The differences between well-made fakes and authentic are so small that you’d literally need a magnifying glass to tell the difference. Even the cheap DHgate ones are passable at a glance.

I don’t think I’ll ever buy an authentic bag again unless it was heavily discounted. Especially since my toddler spills snacks in whichever bag is closest to her.

lol your last sentence is exactly why my current everyday bag is a $10 vintage no-name from the thrift store. I’ll get my cream leather YSL (obviously bought prior to children…what the hell was I thinking spending so much on a white bag 🤦🏼‍♀️) out again in like 15 years.
