Well, I did think about it until I heard a horror story of a friend’s recent experience with a gilt fake bag. She was out for dinner with her family and one of her friends asked her where she got her designer bag. She replied that it wasn’t designer but was a perfect dupe. Her friend was so embarrassed that she had to later admit it was a gilt fake. She was worried that her friend would think she had stooped so low to buy a second-rate imitation, even though it was a stunning copy of the original.
That’s when it hit me. There’s no point in settling for a fake or gilt bag if it creates so much shame. I understand that money doesn’t grow on trees, but ultimately it’s not worth risking your dignity to save a few bucks. So I’d rather give a precious gift to myself that I can proudly carry anywhere.
Beyond feeling embarrassed, there is a darker side to these gilt fakes. Buying fake designer goods is like stealing from the original artist. It undermines all the hard work and hours of dedication of designers into creating a luxury product. Maybe those Louis Vuitton bags didn’t have your name stitched on, but you were still, in a way, taking away from the designer by buying a dupe.
On top of that, fake designer bags are made with substandard quality materials and can be very dangerous. In a recent news report, some ladies got severe skin allergies after carrying a fake bag for a few days. Fake bags can also contain nasty chemicals that can cause severe health issues. So, although it’s a cheap way to accessorize, it might not be worthit in the long run.
But, there are certain occasions when it’s okay to get a fake bag. I’m talking about taking it to a pool party or a beach vacation. After all, a once-in-a-lifetime experience is far more precious than a lifetime of fakery. Also, it’s better to get a few inexpensive bags rather than spend a fortune on real designer ones.
Now, let’s move on to the second part of this topic. After seeing so many fake bags on store shelves, I thought, why not be the change? Why not start crafting my own designer bags and show the world that real beauty can be made from scratch. So, I took a course and learned all the basics of making bags. Even though I was sceptical at first, I slowly found the pleasure in creating something of my own.
And I’m glad I made the effort because now I understand the process of making a designer bag. You have to choose the best materials, colors and layering techniques. You have to make sure the design is strong enough to carry the weight of the bag. You also need to have some knowledge of the correct stitching and detailing techniques that could make a bag look elegant.
The best thing about crafting your own designer bags is that you get to incorporate your own personal style. You can pick your own colors and patterns. And the pride that you get after making something of your own is simply unmatched. So, why settle for knock-offs when you can make something authentic that you can be proud of?
But of course, designing your own bags is not easy. It requires a lot of effort, patience, and dedication. You will have to work hard to make sure the bag is stylish, practical, and long-lasting. It’s important to take pride in creating something of your own as it will give you a real sense of satisfaction and appreciation.
Learning the ins and outs of fashion and style while creating designer bags is a great way to express yourself and your creativity. This is why I find it so fulfilling. And the bonus is that I have something to show for my hard work!
It’s no surprise that genuine designer bags can be expensive. But as a fashion enthusiast, I believe it’s worth it in the long run. And with some hard work, patience, and dedication I can create the exact same thing at a fraction of the price. Nobody can take away the the pride and satisfaction I get from creating my own designer accessories.
And I think that’s what people should be looking for in their designer accessories. Not just money-saving dupes, but an opportunity to express their creativity and uniqueness. You don’t always need to own a designer bag to look beautiful – you just need to express yourself in your own unique way.
