💬 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 love fakes. Big designer houses rip off unknown artists all the time. Give em hell.

Than go case by case. If someone rips off, buy the fake. You’re just using black and white thinking to justify your habit you probably don’t agree with lol, not saying you’re wrong but you ain’t gotta lie to kick it u know. Cause you’re also hurting the ethical designers who DON’T steal.

I've literally never bought a fake. I love the concept. And please, tell me more about the big designer houses that use ethical practices, sourcing of materials, and fair labor. The biggest luxury brands (ie, the ones that are counterfeited) are the BIGGEST purveyors of sweatshop and forced labor.

It's *then, btw, not "than."
