My best friend and I often browse the internet to find out the best deals on designer bags—but in the case of Korean designer bags, we know that they are almost never the real thing. Even though every one of my friends has a designer bag, I don’t allow myself to be moved when I look at them. In my head, I always have to ask myself, “Is that a real designer bag or a fake from Korea?” It makes me never want to purchase one.
Whenever I step into a store, I’m immediately drawn in by the abundance of display bags. The store workers are always very insistent that I should take my time to decide which one I’d like to go for. It makes me a bit suspicious though. I mean, why would they bother if they know that all these bags are fakes?
It’s a familiar story that you’ve probably also heard. Someone buys an inexpensive bag in a store as a present for their best friend, only to find out later that it’s a fake. It’s a snag that unsuspecting buyers are falling into everywhere. The ways these stores has set up it’s very intimidating. It’s like, you don’t want to seem like the only one without a designer bag.
It’s disheartening to know that such a lucrative business is based on selling plain fakes that are not in the least bit original or authentic. There are stories of women who have been stuck with bags that have distastefully low quality and ripped after only a few uses. That’s why it’s important to not let yourself be tempted by cheap prices, smooth marketing, and sweet sales techniques.
Although designer bags are of course a status symbol, I’ve come to the realization that there are better ways to express your taste and style. When people think of Korean designer bags, they should be aware that they are usually fakes. The best way to become a wise shopper is to not just trust your eyes when it comes to buying designer bags but also to trust your gut and actually read the info about the product.
Sometimes deeper research is needed to make sure you don’t get tricked into buying a Korean fake designer bag. That’s why it might be helpful to view reviews from other people, so you can at least be sure to make a more informed decision. Even then, there’s no guarantee that the items are actually real, so you have to be aware of that as well.
If you’re heading to the store just to buy a designer bag, be sure to double-check the item with the shop assistant. Ask them questions to make sure that the item is authentic and that it fits your taste and style. Even if it looks like the real deal, there could be little details that could give it away so it’s best to trust your instincts and err on the side of caution.
Another thing you can do is to research the product further once you’ve made an initial decision. You can go online and look at customer reviews, product details, etc. to verify that it’s a legitimate item. This way, you can be sure that you’re not buying any fake Korean designer bags, and you can feel confident in the purchase knowing that you’re getting something of quality.
Aside from being careful in purchasing designer bags, you can also save money by taking the time to find out if a store has sales or discounts on products. Many stores offer discounts up to 25%, so it pays to browse around and look for items with great deals. You can even wait until a holiday season when many stores have promotions so you can get a great deal on an authentic designer bag.
It is a lot easier to invest in quality and support authentic designer bags rather than wasting time and money on replicas or fakes. I have realized that it’s better to look after my own investments and invest in buying quality designer bags that will last me for years rather than a cheap Korean fake designer bag that won’t last longer than a few uses.
Going the extra mile to research about the product and verify its authenticity will guarantee that you won’t be paying a hefty price for something that’s only a replica. It’s important to educate yourself when it comes to designer bags and to understand that any product that comes with a hugely discounted price tag is often too good to be true.
Talking to people who have already bought designer bags is also a great way to know how to judge between real and replica designer bags. If you don’t have anyone to ask around, you can always research online to get the necessary information about the authenticity of a particular brand or designer.
Be aware of online shops that offer incredibly low prices and ask yourself: “Where are these prices coming from?” If it looks too good to be true, then it probably is, and that’s the time when you need to start questioning the legitimacy of the product. Don’t be a victim of fake designer bags and make sure to do your due diligence.
