My best friend in London and I had such a memorable day out last week window shopping at Oxford Street and we stumbled upon this little boutique that sold the most incredible knock-off Chanel bags – they looked so real, I was convinced it was the real deal! But, these bags were being sold at a fraction of the price of an actual Chanel bag. We could barely believe our eyes! We were practically running around the store trying on all the different bags and feeling it with admiration. The quality was amazing and the craftsmanship was definitely top-notch!
Naturally, I had to buy one. I mean, it was a steal, I couldn’t resist! We both were so embarrassed to be seen around with a fake Chanel bag, but deep inside we were both equally excited to show off this beautiful work of art that was a replica of a designer label – we were like little children with a new toy! We continued our day out with multiple heads turning our way – partly jealous I might add!
It didn’t necessarily surprise me to know that fake Chanel bags were being sold in London; it’s a huge tourist hub and there are many different markets that sell replica goods. But I never thought the quality of the product could be so good; it seemed as though they had put in a tremendous amount of effort to really make it look as close to an actual Chanel bag as possible – which is really impressive and almost art!
The few fake Chanel bags we saw in the boutique not only looked amazing, they had all the details of a real Chanel bag – such as the pattern, the logo, the gold hardware, and the perfect beige linings. There was no way that you’d be able to tell the difference between the original and the knock-off if you didn’t already know. That’s why I feel like the craftsmanship is really impressive, they really put in a lot of effort to make it as convincing as possible.
Although buying a replica of a designer label may seem unethical and morally wrong to many, I personally feel that it helps reignite the passion of fashion for those who may not be able to afford an expensive designer item. Now, if you’re into fashion and want to keep up with the trends but may not have the budget – buying a replica will help you stay on trend, and actually gives you the opportunity to have similar items, without spending too much money.
Going further along this topic, I believe that fake Chanel bags offer a great way to express oneself without breaking the bank. I mean, I personally love the look of a Chanel bag, but couldn’t dream of paying 4 or 5x times the price of a fake one. The replica items can be quite a conversation starter; it makes you seem more daring and adventurous because you made a decision to not just go with something that everyone has.
In conclusion, although buying a replica Chanel bag in London may seem like an unethical decision to many, I believe that it’s a great way to express your style and personality without breaking the bank. Fake Chanel bags offer a great way for people who may not be able to afford an expensive designer piece to still keep up with the latest fashion trends. Plus, it makes you seem more daring and adventurous because you made a daring decision to go with something that not everyone has.
