My friends always give me an honest opinion so I’m turning to them for advice with this one. Recently, I’ve been eyeing a new bag and it just looks like a dream. It’s a gorgeous, soft leather bag with a bold striped design. But I’ve been debating whether it’s worth the money. I mean, is it really a good deal if it’s a “fake” design? How do I even know for sure? It has designer features like the zipper closure, but is it an imitation of the real thing?
The thing is, it looks so darn good that I’m taken aback. This new lace also seems to be everyone’s favorite the way it has been selling out at every store. Even though this bag looks great, is it really worth the money if it’s a knockoff? It’s so hard to decide and I can’t seem to come to a conclusion.
I asked my cousin, who’s always up on the latest fashion trends, what she thought and she gave me a quick response that “it depends”. She said that if I’m looking at a designer replica with the same features as a designer brands, then it can be a good idea. But she also warned me to be careful, as it could also be a cheap imitations.
That got me thinking about the quality of the material and the level of craftsmanship that went into making the bag. So I opened the zipper and felt the fabric, it felt strong and sturdy. I compared the cost of a designer brand bag to the replica and they were only around $60 difference in price. So if I save $60 dollars and the material seems to be of the same quality, won’t I be getting a better deal?
The final decision though, is all up to me. I asked myself, “can I ignore the fact that it’s not an authentic brand when I use it?” After much processing, I think my fate is sealed and I’ll be buying the bag. At least I can say that I saved a couple of dollars in the process of buying it!
At the end of the day, I had to go with my gut feeling and buy the bag. After all, what’s the point of going for a designer brand if you can’t enjoy what you buy? As a wise friend once told me, “you don’t have to have the real thing to have style”. So I’m saying thank you, goodbye, to designer brand bags and embracing the fake side of fashion.
I’m just so excited to show off my cool and unique bag. But even now, I’m still a bit hesitant about the outcome. What if my friends say the bag looks cheap or that it’s not even a good fake? It’s kind of a risk I’m taking, but I’m hoping that it will all work out in my favour.
With my new bag in hand, I do feel more confident stepping out of the house. I also enjoy expressing my style with a unique piece that’s not everywhere. It’s like I’m one of the few people who have this bag and that makes me feel kinda special.
I’m also relieved that I can now get a pricey designer look (with a fraction of the price) without worrying about whether or not it’s authentic. After all, a pair of eyes is all it takes to appreciate a great looking bag.
Plus, with this budget-friendly purchase, I have more money to use for other stuff. And since I can always just switch out the bag whenever I want, I won’t have to worry about it going out of style. That’s why I think fake bags are the way to go.
