The chequered print on the bag is gorgeous, and it truly stands out in a crowd of accessories. The leather is super soft and lightweight, making it really comfortable to wear even when it’s packed with all my stuff. It looks chic and offers great functionality with an internal and an external zip pocket.
The real deal definitely has more sophistication and luxe look compared to the fake ones. And you get that extra peace of mind that comes with spending a little more. Not to mention the durability. Yes, fake ones are cheaper and may look the same but life is too short to be buying things that don’t last.
I recently had the pleasure of attending an event and was so delighted that my bag worked perfectly with the look. People kept complimenting me on my choice of accessory – asking where I got it from. I felt a mix of pride and satisfaction as I told them the story of my search and the joy of finally having found the bag that I wanted.
When it comes to my accessories, I love to buy the real thing. Besides offering great quality, I’ve noticed that if I ever need repairs, finding help and parts isn’t as hard. All in all, my SoHo Small Leather Disco Bag is a statement piece and a reliable everyday companion!
More than the quality, the story behind it matters to me. Where and how it’s made is an important part of the purchase experience. There’s something special about putting your money towards an item that’s made ethically by craftsman who take great pride in their work, which you don’t really get with the replicas.
Speaking of value, when it comes to fake vs real items, maybe I’m biased but I’ve always believed that spending a bit more on a real product means you’re investing in the trend, preserving the heritage and helping small businesses stay competitive. You’re also helping to support skilled workers who crafted it with their knowledge and have probably made you a piece of the future!
The legitimacy and the craftsmanship of the make is also reflected in the price, of course. But when I wear it, I forget all the prior efforts of searching and decide that it was worth the expense.
Next I explored the practical aspect of the soho bag. The leather is great for storing my stuff – it doesn’t lose its shape or size, even when I stuff it (literally) to capacity. And no matter how much I wear it, the quality doesn’t deteriorate. Additionally, replacements for broken parts are easier to find for real items, so if something breaks, I can get it fixed without a hassle.
The handle is adjustable and the straps are strong and easy to adjust. It’s definitely a bag that was made to last – another huge bonus! Plus, the hardware is made from high quality metals and it looks really chic and elegant.
I wanted something big, stylish, durable but still lightweight and functional and I feel like I’ve found it with the Prix SoHo Disco Bag. Every time I strap it across my body, I feel a connection to my purchase and I truly believe that paid for my satisfaction. I guess that’s why I prefer the real deals!
Moving on to the environmental aspect, there’s obviously a lot of controversy around purchasing real vs fake products. Some people argue that buying a fake product helps reduce environmental damage on account of the lower production costs and fewer resources used to produce it. But is that worth risking the quality of the item?
In conclusion, it’s up to you which item to invest in but for me, opting for the real Soho Small Leather Disco Bag was my preferred option. It seemed worth the investment for the quality, durability, the knowledge of who made it and the joy of using something that I know is designed and manufactured to last.
