My friends, let me tell you about my experience wearing a fake bag and no one notices. The idea of being able to fool the world by wearing a fake bag was intriguing to me. I had been loyal to the designer bag trend for quite some time, but felt a pang of guilt once I realized how much money I was spending. Before I tell you the outcome let me explain why this was an adventure I had to take.
I come from a small town and most people there would never have heard of high end designer bags. They might have barrel bags from the local super markets but understanding the differences between counterfeit and genuine goods was something a lot of them had either never heard of, or had no interest in. So I decided to give it a shot.
I purchased a bag that was the “same” as one of the luxury designer bags carried by the celebrities. I was doing it out of pure curiosity and I couldn’t believe I was fooling people! When I wore it, no one realized it wasn’t the real thing, they instead complimented it as if I had purchased an authentic piece. Everyone at work thought I had splurged so much cash on a luxury bag.
It was then that I realized just how easy it can be to wear a fake bag without anyone noticing. People usually pay attention to the fact that the bag is expensive or fashionable, but they never really pay attention to the visible differences between an authentic and a fake one.
When I wore the bag out to the mall, I thought for sure I was going to run into people who would know its a fake, because it had been around so long. But not a single person seemed to know! I even had strangers come up to me and ask where I got it from. It was like everyone I met on the days I wore my fake designer bag was oblivious to the fact that it was a fake.
I started to feel the thrill of outsmarting the system and being able to pass off this bag as an authentic product. It was like I had unlocked a secret door and gained entry into a world known only to the privileged few. It was an incredible feeling to think I had somehow bypassed the security and was able to fool people into thinking I had money to blow on a luxury bag.
What made me more curious was the price tag. The fake bag only cost me one tenth of what a real designer bag would have cost. It had all the detailing, the material was comfortable to carry and it made me feel stylish.
However, the thrill of wearing a fake bag and kid only lasted so long, because in the back of my mind I knew I was fooling people. Today, I am more inclined to save up for my purchases and spend it responsibly rather than be risk fooling other people and feeling ashamed for it.
