Fake Branded Bags in Kunming – A Personal Story
Well, I just had to share this with someone! Just last week, I went with my girlfriends to Kunming to buy a few bags that we had seen on social media. We were expecting to buy something nice at a good price but we ended up getting nothing! All of the bags that we seen in that store were fake branded bags. I was so frustrated! Ugh, these counterfeiters have no shame these days.
Not only was it not the original item, but the bags were so poorly made. I mean, the stitching was all over the place and the fastenings broke as soon as we touched them. It was like they had already been used several times, when we were under the impression that they were brand new. We all stepped away from the store feeling cheated and highly disappointed.
It’s a terrible thing when dishonest people try to take advantage of innocent customers like us. Not only did they offer this fake product to us, but they were also trying to charge us a ridiculously high price! I’m not sure if they thought they could get away with it, but those phony products should have never been sold in that store. To think that I almost bought a copy of a Louis Vuitton – never again!
At this point, I’m just glad that my friend checked the tags of the bags and noticed that they were all fake. We should have known right away from the weird smell that lingered in the store that something was off, but I guess we were so caught up in trying to decide between a few bags that we didn’t pay enough attention. Lesson learned!
Once we had realized what was happening, we decided to leave the store immediately. We didn’t even bother to return the fake bags; we simply headed straight for the nearest legitimate store, as far away from the where we had gotten scammed as possible. It’s all part of the experience I guess.
It was such a relief to finally purchase something that was real and not renovated. We all had a laugh about it afterwards – sometimes, these experiences can actually be quite funny. We then made a pact to next time be careful and do our research before buying anything. We’re all wiser now!
I’d never heard of fake branded bags in Kunming before – until now. It’s a shame these counterfeiters can get away with such offences – I just hope that this story will help people to be on the lookout for dodgy products and avoid getting scammed. We all know too well how it feels!
