I have to tell you, it’s so hard to find quality bag knock offs! You go into a store, and you get all excited when you see the “designer inspired” price tag, only to find out that the bag isn’t nearly as nice as it looks from the outside. It’s so disheartening!
Usually the fake bags are made out of very thick, cheap fabric and they look and feel flimsy. It’s like a slap in the face. And what’s worse is that most of the fake bags have glaring logos of the designer plastered all over them. So not only are they made from cheap materials, but they’re also obvious knockoffs!
Sometimes, you can find a pretty decent bag by trolling the consignment shops. You can usually tell the difference between a knock off and the real deal because the real designer bags are made from finer fabrics and better stitching. I found a really beautiful knock off Prada bag the other day at a consignment shop for a fraction of what it would cost for the real thing. It was practically a steal.
But even then, you never know when you’re getting a quality knock off or a total dud. Like, I found this really cute knock off Fendi bag at a shop that had a huge sign saying “Designer Inspired!” The bag looked amazing in the store, but when I got home and started using it, it started falling apart at the seams. I was so disappointed.
Online stores are no better. You can find thousands of knock off bags online, but you never know if they’re going to be actual knock offs or just cheap imitations. You can usually tell which ones are real by looking carefully at the details, like the type of fabric used, the stitching, and so on. But even that’s not a guarantee.
So, that’s the story about my quest for a knock off designer bag. I can’t say it’s been a pleasant experience but hey, it’s a lesson in how being careful can pay off. Do your research before you going out looking for a knock off, and you might just get lucky and find something really good quality worth the price.
For example, one of my friends recently bought a cheap Louis Vuitton knock off online that totally fooled a friend of hers. She said the bag looked exactly like the real thing and no one suspected it was an imitation until she told them it was! It just goes to show that if you know what you’re looking for, you might be able to find a great knock off designer bag at a really affordable price.
I recently tried another strategy for finding quality knock off designer bags. I went to a few places that specialize in replicas bags, in search of the real thing. Of course, there’s no telling if these replicas are actually made with the same grade of leather or fabric as the original, but the prices were low enough that I was willing to take a chance.
I ended up finding this really amazing Birkin bag knock off. It was so nice, I couldn’t believe my eyes. I couldn’t tell it apart from the real thing. It had all the same details and markings that a real Birkin has. I must have been really lucky because usually the knock offs from these stores are noticeably different than the real deal.
So, that’s my journey in finding a quality designer knock off bag. It’s been a learning experience for sure. I’ve come to the conclusion that if you’re willing to take a chance, you might be able to find some really great knock off designer bags that look just as good as the real thing.
