Seeing a distant friend recently made me so happy. The moment I saw her, she was already beaming from ear to ear; she was showing her newest buy, a Cath Kidston replica bag! It took me a couple of seconds to believe my eyes, it was a perfect replica of the original – absolutely gorgeous! There were all sorts of colors and designs to pick from: sassy pinks and florals, classic navy and beige, and even electric blues and reds. I was mesmerized!
My friend said she got it for the bargain price of only 250 pesos. She was ecstatic about her great find. She said it was her treat to herself, as a reward for her hard work. She gushed about how she’d been looking for the perfect Cath Kidston bag, and what she found was better than the original; it was a replica that won’t burn a hole in her pocket. She called it a “happy accident”!
My friend’s enthusiasm about her replica bag made me curious. Though I prefer to own a few very good pieces that are of highest quality, the idea of getting a replica bag from the Philippines and for a fraction of the original’s cost was pretty alluring. I looked closer at the bag and it really was a work of art; I could tell it was made to look as close to the original as possible. I could even find the identical details like the leather twist locks, the iconic print lining, and perfectly stitched leather handles, exactly like the real thing.
The idea of owning a Cath Kidston replica bag got even better when I found out that there are plenty of replica bags from the Philippines. I found out there was a store online, a congratulatory review page, and even a Facebook page made by the enthusiasts who own these replicas. They even have their own hashtag, #ckph, to make them even easier to spot. And the best part is, I know I can find them available in different sizes, prints, colors, and styles.
The more I heard and read about it, the more I realized that these replicas are worth exploring. I mean, if you can get a look-alike bag that seems just as good as the original, why not right? Besides, it’s way cheaper and it can be delivered almost anywhere around the country. The idea of owning a little piece of designer fashion for such a good price is awesome, and if made with care, they can be just as good as the real thing.
Admittedly, there are some downsides to owning replica bags from the Philippines. Sometimes, what’s delivered isn’t as great as what’s advertised, and the quality of the bag can vary. However, it is possible to score a quality replica bag by buying it from reputable sources. Moreover, you won’t get the genuine leather that the original had and there are of course some differences in the hardware details. But if you didn’t know about the original Cath Kidston bags, you may not be able to tell the difference.
Given the height of popularity of these Cath Kidston replicas here in the Philippines, and the great prices they come in, it’s clear that these bags are prized items. They offer an affordable way to look fashionable, and come in enough variety to help you stand out from the crowd. And who knows, if you’re lucky you may even get your hands on a real treasure. It’s worth taking a peek and seeing what beautiful bags these replicas can offer.
I’ve been scouting for the perfect Cath Kidston replica bag myself, and I already have a few contenders. I’m checking out all the colors and designs, and it’s so addictive! There are so many to choose from and I think I’m already falling in love with one of the pink-floral boho models. And, I’m so excited to have it delivered soon!
