I’ve always had a soft spot for fashion ever since I was a kid but recently, I’ve been seeing fake MCM bags everywhere. It’s actually gotten to the point of being a bit of an epidemic. As a fashion enthusiast, these fake bags just rub me the wrong way.
Firstly, the leather quality of these fake MCM bags is really poor. It’s not even close to the quality of the brand’s real bags.You can tell a fake bag from a mile away and you don’t even need to be a fashion expert to do that. For example, the straps might be lopsided, poorly stitched, and have visible scratches. Some even have that unpleasant, fake smell.
Secondly, the designs are usually not accurate, either. For genuine MCM bags, they have exquisite details like even stitching and well polished hardware parts. Fake bags, on the other hand, usually look like they were designed in a rush. The hardware often sounds cheap, too.
Thirdly, these fraudulent bags just give off a dodgy vibe. They can be found online for prices way below the original cost, which sets off alarm bells. Whenever I buy a designer bag, I always check the authenticity. It’s hard to resist a good deal but it’s better to be safe rather than sorry.
Fourthly, it’s a bit of a disappointment for consumers like me who just want to buy the real deal. Fake bags undermine the industry, hurting the reputation of authentic designer merchandise.
Plus, counterfeiting is an unethical practice that supports unlawful activities. It’s a driving factor behind various charities for the victims of counterfeiting. It’s not something I take lightly.
Finally, fake MCM bags are kind of making a mockery of the fashion industry. It’s a total disrespect to the hard work and skill of designers who put a lot of effort into crafting the perfect piece. It just makes me so mad!
Therefore, I always spare no expense when buying a designer bag. A true fashion enthusiast should pay homage to the brand and the designer who created the bag. It’s a valid form of respect.
Going forward,I think we consumers need to be more aware of this fake bag problem. We should steer clear from shady suppliers, buy only from authorized resellers and always inspect the product before purchase.
Moreover, instead of buying knock off designer merchandise, we should look to support emerging designers. Many of them offer high quality items at affordable prices. Upping the ante on the fashion scene without going bankrupt can be a win-win situation for everybody.
It would also be a great idea to inform your friends and fellow shoppers about the fake MCM bag problem. People should be warned and educated about the dangers counterfeiting poses to not only the fashion industry but to people in general.
Lastly,we should all appreciate the masterminds behind amazing pieces of designer creations. Their talent and dedication deserve nothing less than our respect. Who knows, by doing this,we might even prevent the proliferation of fake MCM bags.
