I have always been fascinated by Louis Vuitton bags, so I often find myself debating about real vs fake models. Growing up, I remember being particularly excited when a few of my friends decided to buy the iconic LV logo metal bag. They were so happy with their purchase and I remember envying them to this day.
I yearned for a Louis Vuitton bag of my own and I would often spend hours online looking for good deals. Being a student, I was very conscious of the price tags associated with LV products, and I knew I would have to save significantly to buy one!
Unfortunately, as it goes with any popular brand, the market is flooded with fake Louis Vuitton bags and that added another layer of complexity to the whole situation. I remember discussing this with my friends and we were united in our opinion that paying extra money for a real LV bag was highly worth it. We also knew that even though these bags looked cheap, the manufacturers skimp on the details and quality of workmanship.
I was tempted by the prices of these fake bags a few times and I remember going as far as to compare the details of a real LV bag with a fake one. The difference was immense! The material, the logo, the details – everything told it was real or fake.
However, the whole debate really came to its peak at a friend’s wedding when another friend decided to flash a faux LV shoulder bag. Sure, it looked perfect from afar, but anyone who’s familiar with the brand knew that it was not original. I remember feeling embarrassed for my friend and I couldn’t help thinking how disappointed I was.
After having these experiences, I am now very clear-cut about my stance on fake Louis Vuitton bags. It’s not just about spending more money, it’s also about the overall experience. You want to know that you’re buying a genuine product and that you’re getting the quality craftsmanship that comes with it.
People usually accuse me of being “too loyal” to the brand, but I always respond by saying that Louis Vuitton stands for something. It stands for quality and elegance, and you can’t expect to get that from a fake without a heftier price tag.
Speaking of price tags, it isn’t too bad when you start saving and investing in pieces that will last you a long time. Louis Vuitton makes bags that serve as lifelong investments. You get quality and you can be sure you won’t have to replace it anytime soon.
You should also keep in mind that buying real Louis Vuitton bags also helps support sellers who are selling original products. Fake bags don’t benefit anyone – not you, and not the brand. So, in my opinion: go for the real deal, it’s more than worth it!
