I recently heard about fake designer bags in the UK and, honestly, I was a bit shocked. Even though I’m not a follower of designer trends, even I could tell these were counterfeit. The stitching was bad, the logo looked exactly like the real deal and there were several out-of-place details. I thought it was a sign of the times that fakes had become so good!
When I was asked about it, I had no doubts recommending a real-deal designer bag. It’s not just that they show so much more quality than a fake, but also that I’m totally against the idea of spending your hard earned money on something that won’t last. That being said, the fact that fake bags have dropped drastically in price tends to fool many people.
Another thing that bothers me is that fake bags are often sold as “real” bags by some dishonest vendors. This puts the unaware consumer in danger of spending hundreds, or even thousands for something that is not really what they think it is. To avoid this kind of trouble, I suggest checking if the dealer is a known and trusted seller.
At the same time, I do want to point out that counterfeit bags can sometimes look very attractive – which is why it’s so common for some people to be fooled into believing they are mostly getting a good deal. That being said, nothing compares to the feeling of having a truly classy designer bag by your side.
Finally, I believe that it’s just better to go for the real deal – and not just for the luxury and style element. Real designer bags are long-term investments that pay off in the future, while fakes get wrinkled, torn, and slowly lose their color. In the end, it’s a choice of quality and the support of original designs.
Besides that, Checking the authenticity of the products is something that everyone should do before buying a designer bag. Buying something solely based on price and ignoring quality should be avoided. Those wide price variations between a real designer bag and a fake one should be taken with caution. It’s natural for a customer to jump to the conclusion that if there are such big variations in prices, something fishy must be going on.
It is important to know the eye-catching details that would enable you to distinguish legal bags from a fake. Take, for example, the quality of the leather. Genuine leather bags tend to be softer, smoother, and more flexible compared to a counterfeit, which is usually too rigid and stiff. Furthermore, real designer bags have fabric tags with serial numbers and be inspected for internal branding or logos.
Also, the color and wrapping quality of the real deal is usually much better. The colors would be brighter and last longer. Plus, quality carefully wrapped paper with sticky labels, should also give the customer a hint of the real deal.
Moreover, it is important to know that there’s a real reason why some authentic designer bags are so expensive. It is not just because of a brand name but because of the quality. Not only when it comes to materials like leather but also when it comes to craftsmanship and workmanship. The time and effort taken for the artisan to complete the bag is reflected in the final price.
Ultimately, I think it’s important to support original designs and craftsmanship. A little bit of extra money, in the right place, can make a huge difference. There’s no surprise why there are so many counterfeit designer bags. It’s because of the demand and by supporting the real deal, we can help make the market more aware.
Finally, I believe it is important to be aware of where you are purchasing your bag from. Buyers must take necessary and precautionary measures to make sure the seller is authentic and trusted. Be sure to look for refunds and return policies as well. Don’t be scammed by fake bags. Put your trust in the workmanship, material quality and craftsmanship of the authentic designer bag.
