As I got closer, I saw that the bags were really cheap, much cheaper than the Coach bags that I had seen before. On top of that, the bags all looked almost the same, which made me start to become suspicious. I took a closer look and noticed that the tag inside said “replica”. This was my first experience with fake coach bags.
I had heard a lot of horror stories about these sorts of bags, from people getting scammed to terrible quality bags that lasted for just a couple of weeks. So, I was a bit hesitant to try it out at first, but I figured, worst case scenario I’m out a few bucks. Right?
The bag that I ended up buying was actually quite good in terms of quality. It had the same kind of material as the authentic bags, and there was no noticeable difference in stitching, zippers, or anything like that. It felt like a genuine Coach bag, the only difference was the hefty price tag.
When I showed my bag to my friends, they frowned in disgust and all said it was obviously fake. But I could confidently tell them, it was an amazing “knock-off” that I bought. Even more amazing was the fact that I got it for way cheaper than an actual Coach bag.
Even so, I don’t know if I can really advocate for “fake coach bags”. I mean, it was a great deal, but I wouldn’t recommend going out of my way to buy these sorts of bags. After all, if you’re going to spend money on designer bags, wouldn’t it be better to buy the real thing? But if you are short on cash, and don’t mind buying the “knock off” kind, then I’d say it’s an ok option.
I’m not sure why anyone would want to buy a fake coach bag, as there really isn’t much of a point. Sure, you’re getting a more affordable version of the real thing, but it’s still not going to actually be a real Coach bag. In addition, the money you save on a fake bag would be nothing compared to the money you could save by just shopping around for a more affordable authentic bag.
The same goes for any other designer label. You’re basically sacrificing quality and not getting the real deal, which isn’t worth it. Don’t be fooled into thinking that a fake bag looks the same or lasts as long as an authentic bag. Because nine times out of ten, it won’t. So while it’s perfectly ok to enjoy the lower price tag and convenience of a “knock-off” bag, don’t expect it to last as long or look as good as the original.
