Oh, the dreaded fake Louis Vuitton bags. Have you ever taken a chance and purchased one, in the hopes that it would last you a long time? If so, you may have been disappointed. I myself have to admit I’ve been fooled a time or two, and as a result I’ve lost money and been left feeling kind of swindled.
It really doesn’t pay to opt for fake Louis Vuitton bags in the hope that they’ll last you longer. Sure, some fakes are crafted quite excellently and created from quality materials, but the majority will not last you very long at all.
It’s not that the designers fall short in their craftsmanship – quite the contrary – it’s the material itself that’s usually to blame. Artificial leather is prone to splitting quickly, fabric can begin to fade and thin very easily, and inferior thread can unravel in no time.
Of course, there are ways and means to increase the longevity of your fake Louis Vuitton bags. Doing some research on the craftsmanship and material quality from different brands of faux-luxury bags can be incredibly helpful. Not all fakers are made equal!
And it goes without saying – you’re going to have to put more effort into taking care of your fake bags. Be sure to keep them away from water, since leather and fabric can suffer from water damage almost instantly. And donto forget to regularly apply wipe-on protectant to keep that fake leather from cracking up too early.
Another tip to make Louis Vuitton bags last longer is to spread out its use – don’t use it for every outfit or occasion. The less you use it, the longer it will last – so make sure you accessorise with more than one bag.
I’ve also been advised to opt for classic colours like black and white – because these can change up the look of an outfit without going through the entire catalogue of colours that fake LV bags come in.
And lastly, opt for well known and reliable suppliers – you’d be surprised how many ‘fakes’ out there are the real thing. So, when shopping around, take your time to explicitly check that the item is not an authentic, genuine bag.
Going to the source may be a bit more costly, but it’s also a heck of a lot more reliable. If you can stretch to it, then I’d say it’s definitely worth investing in one or two real Louis Vuitton bags. You’ll never need to worry about whether they’ll last you a long time or not.
Sure, you may be seduced by bargain-basement sales in the hopes that you hit the jackpot and get a well-crafted fake – but 9 times out of 10 you won’t. So, make sure you save up, shop around and most importantly, be sure that you know what you’re buying.
Like they always say – you get what you pay for.
I always try to stay up-to-date with the latest Louis Vuitton bag trends, so a few weeks ago a friend of mine told me about a new messanger bag. I got to the store a bit early, so I had some time to browse some of the other bags available. One caught my eye, it was a gorgeous leather-lookalike with a hard shell and an almost iridescent finish. I was instantly drawn to it and I couldn’t help but touch it.
The leather felt soft and smooth, despite being synthetic. I started to look at the design closely, comparing all the little details to the real-deal. And, to my surprise, it ticked all the boxes. The ornamental details were all there, the stitching was perfectly aligned, and the overall design matched the original.
I know my way around analysing fake Louis Vuitton bags, so I was sure that the company I was buying from was reliable. I was delighted with my find and confident in my purchase. I left the store feeling happy and satisfied – and I haven’t been disappointed yet.
My purchase is still flawless, and it’s amazing how it manages to still feel and look so good. I get compliments every time I use it, and I constantly marvel at how good the craftsmanship is. It’s a real eye-catcher and it definitely holds its own against the designer originals.
Given all the abuse it’s gone through, I was expecting it to buckle a lot sooner, but to my surprise it’s still going strong. I’m even considering getting another one in a different colour!
Now, I know I struck it lucky with one of the higher quality fakes. But I wanted to ensure I got a fair run for my money, so I did my research. As soon as I had the specs of the original in my head, I kept an eye out for the-same-but-different-looking models. Sure, I could’ve gone for the original, but with my budget I opted for the false instead.
And while I can’t vouch for the longevity of every single fake Louis Vuitton bag out there, I definitely believe that, in some cases, it pays to buy false instead of real. So, if you’re on the market for a new bag, I’d say be sure to carefully compare your options, inspect every detail and don’t take any chances. With a bit of patience and knowledge, you’ll be able to get a great deal of use out of your fake Louis Vuitton bag.
Just make sure you invest in good quality and give your bag some TLC. This way, who knows? You may be pleasantly surprised and find that your bag might last you longer than you thought!
